Because Europe is basically what drives laws here in France for driving, I would expect them to do what's best for the drivers and clearly they are not.
They should not allow car Manufacturers to sell cars when:
- There's no physical knob to open it
- The only place to read critical information like speed is a tablet on the side
- The speed limit is a constant beep unless you disable it AT EVERY START by touching a screen on the side (their law basically)
Cars are becoming shittier in Europe, dumb regulations and people building cars are clearly NOT driving them.
My wife got a new Volvo recently:
1. You can only open it with your phone (find it in purse, unlock it, find the app, wait, click) or a card that can only open on the driver side (can’t open the trunk). What was fucking wrong with keys?
2. No behind the steering wheel screen, only a large tablet center of the car. No way to know your speed without looking to the side.
3. No physical buttons aside from the ones on the steering wheel.
4. And the infamous speed limit beep sound. You can turn it off with a shortcut button on the steering wheel. Which is so dumb if you think Europeans spent millions creating and implementing this rule. A friend of mine has no shortcut (kia) so he just starts driving then look away from the road to the screen to tap a few times. I’ve seen this many times now.
Overall cars are more dangerous to drive because of all this shit. Europe is spending millions creating laws to protect us on the road and making driving shitty. While Youtube, social networks and movies keep promoting cigarettes and alcohol.
You're not gonna believe it but NONE colors, my brain doesn't process colors because I know I cannot trust them to be correct. So I use shapes, numbers, arrows.
Ask a colorblind person to explain how to win at candy crush and you'll be surprised (hint: we do not use colors, we use the shapes).
FWIW The optimal way we were told was to partition our data was to do this:
010111/some/file.jpg.
Where `010111/` is a random binary string which will please both the automatic partitioning (503s => partition) and manual partitioning you could ask AWS. Please as in the cardinality of partitions grows slower at each characters vs prefixes like `az9trm/`.
We were told that the later version makes manual partitioning a challenge because as soon as you reach two characters you've already created 36x36 partitions (1,296).
The issue with that: your keys are no more meaningful if you're relying on S3 to have "folders" by tenants for example (customer1/..).
Random parenting tidbit: I have two kids, and they had tantrums. When it was spiraling I took them outside. I have found the sound of nature calms them, weirdly. The change of setup maybe helps.
- Author reaction "Greaaaaaat, Microsoft wants to harvest more phone numbers."
- Author has a love/hate relationship with GitHub since 2012
- Author decides to not use GitHub anymore
I am not following the thinking process.
And you can use a 2FA app, without giving your phone number to GH.
I can understand the stream of changes at GitHub does not resonates with the author opinions, but the "Microsoft wants phone numbers" is wrong I think.
Hey there HN, here's a fun product I've been building at Vercel with other folks. I would love to hear what HN think about cron jobs in general, and the API we're proposing.
If you have questions on how this is implemented, let us know :)
