You're right, the idea is so absurd. Must be some glitch in the matrix that a business like Uber has been operating successfully for more than a decade and is currently profitable. Now imagine if the chief operating expenditure (drivers) were eliminated too. Certainly such a business would fail, of course.

> Please just add it up and send me the bill. I don't want to pay more than what's due. And I don't want to cheat.

I have a hard time understanding this comment because this is exactly what employers do when paying out RSUs.

At the end of the year, you get a 1099 indicating the fair market value of shares you've received. There's no trickery here--this is literally the amount you owe income tax on.

I'm not sure what tax software you're using that requires you to guess inputs and numbers. TurboTax makes this trivially straightforward.

"Free" does not mean "available to everyone."

Apple products have always been status symbols and this Macbook is no different.

One could easily put together a significantly more powerful Linux desktop for a lower price. This has always been the case, but Apple's marketing tries to convince you otherwise. Honestly, I've always been surprised by how effectively their marketing has misled the tech-savvy crowd on HN.

A quote from that page claims that Bake saves complexity by removing "all the flags and environment variables" from a build command, but as far as I can tell, all those flags and environment variables are still there, they're just now defined even more verbosely in an HCL file...

> the container was spraying files all over the disk

Right, that's basically the point...the Warrior downloads files, compresses them, and uploads them for archival. This necessarily requires staging the files somewhere between download and upload.

> Anyone know any broad-spectrum docker incantations to force all overlay writes to RAM, for a container?

Why would you want this? This sounds like a terrible footgun.

Cloudflare has been blocking "mainstream" browsers too, if you are generous enough to consider Firefox "mainstream." The "verify you are a human" sequence gets stuck in a perpetual never-ending loop where clicking the checkbox only refreshes the page and presents the same challenge. Certain websites (most notably archive.is) have been completely inaccessible for me for years for this reason.

FSD is already at parity with Waymo.

Because 2022 is when FSD 11 was released, which dramatically reduced interventions per mile and is largely regarded as the "step function improvement" release that demonstrated unambiguously that mass-market autonomy was real and coming.

Funny, isn't it, how the goalposts keep shifting?

Telling that Waymo is trying to steal the thunder by releasing this news on the same day as Tesla's Q4 earnings report. They see the competition about to overtake them.

You will certainly be happy to learn that Waymo is in fact introducing tipping.

The whole point of Rust is memory safety, not thread safety...

Can someone explain in unambiguous terms why people are so drawn specifically to TikTok? I have tried TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, and they are all basically the same--algorithmically-driven feeds of short videos. I don't see how banning TikTok is such a big problem, just use one of the other apps.

Why, after all these years, are we still doing this stupid thing of using a global namespace for packages? If you are a company with an internal package registry just publish all your packages as @companyname/mylib and then no one can squat the name on a public registry. I thought we collectively learned this 4 years ago when dependency confusion attacks were first disclosed.

What is the point you're trying to make here? Are you waiting for some malware that exploits a buffer overrun to infect you before conceding that C/C++ is a terrible choice for memory-safe code?

What motivates this attitude? Software, like anything else, needs to be actively maintained. This is a positive sign of technology evolution and improvement over time. To expect to run some software for 20 years without needing to apply a single security patch is ridiculous, and probably exactly the attitude that caused the author to get himself in this situation.

> spinning up a Postgres instance in Docker seems secure because it’s contained

This doesn't make any sense. Running something in a container doesn't magically make it "secure." Where does this misconception come from?

Another suggestion: if your monorepo's service packaging is sufficiently uniform, build every service against both Go versions, package both binaries into the deploy artifact, and install a feature flag that lets you select which binary to boot when the service starts. This also lets you canary an arbitrary percentage of the fleet with the new Go version, and you can execute a version rollback by redeploying (without needing to revert any commits).

To be honest, I don't "get" ghostty. I am not really seeing how this is so much better than the GNOME terminal that ships with my Linux distro.

A lot of people are claiming that ghostty is "faster." I watched the lightning talk where the author claims that catting files and binaries is faster.

I tried this against ghostty itself after building with zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast, using: time cat ghostty.

In GNOME terminal, it took 3.340s. In ghostty, it took 16.947s. I must be doing something wrong?

> It’s so much safer, especially for a woman,” she said in a phone interview this month. “You’re not getting in the car with some strange man.”

Sorry, but this just doesn't paas the sniff test. Why do so many young people now assume that everyone in the world is out there to "get" them? How many of these conflicts can be resolved with a simple conversation? Young people decry the modern loneliness epidemic and come back with statements like this?

> But “at night, maybe I’m safer having someone else in the car just in case something happens.”

Oh?

I'm surprised that no one has yet commented on the inherent reporting bias here. Waymo commissioned a study, conducted by Waymo employees, for Waymo to study Waymo's own safety record, and found that Waymo is safer than human drivers. Has this finding ever been independently verified?

Is it not a glaring privacy and security hole that turned-off devices can still be located?

Maybe it's just me, but if I own an internet-connected device and I turn it off, I expect it to be off. That an iPhone's definition of "off" means "you can't use it but other random people's iPhones in the vicinity can still connect to and ping it" rubs me the wrong way.

> the inability to make full backups

Says who? I have been using this for years:

    adb backup -f backup.ab -apk -noshared -all -system

Regarding the title, "Software developer arrested in connection with murder of healthcare executive," what is the significance of him being a software developer and why is that relevant to the assassination? "Software developer" is not even mentioned once in the article. Is this BBC article the wrong link? Am I missing something?

Jaguar discontinued the I-PACE and presumably does not manufacture them anymore. It must be the case that Waymo is cannibalizing their fleet capacity from other markets for every new city launch.

> This is currently $19/mo plus search API cost (2.5c per search).

This is ludicrously expensive. Who is their target customer base for this product?

That's not how this works. Fundamentally, any machine has finite resources and it is the kernel's responsibility to sort and prioritize more work than there are available resources to complete it. If you make no differentiation in priority of your app's tasks by saying "everything is important," then the kernel will treat truly important work as weighted equally as unimportant work. You can see how this is counterproductive, both to your app, the user of your app, and other apps running on the system written other developers.
