There are a bunch of possible good reasons that Tesla might want to do this:

- liability

- hacking prevention: anybody in the car will be able to take over the car, so you should make sure there's always somebody you trust in the car

- regulatory: the owner of the car is liable for any infractions a car makes, so only there should always be somebody you trust in the car

But the wording makes clear that this is just a cash grab. You'd think that Tesla would have worded it to imply that they actually have a good reason...

Next keyboard has a 2.5 rating on the app store right now for the current version of the app.

Here's a comment from the article:

--------------------

I appreciate this case study, but I feel it doesn’t cover everything.

I backed you on Kickstarter, and you didn’t deliver the features you said you would, even ones that were mainstays of that campaign. Swipe to type, as an example. After beta it just slowly… faded away with little or no communication from you guys.

I believed you when you said you wanted to fix the keyboard, but yet-another-theme won’t do that. More stickers won’t do that. What excited me about Next, initially, was that it seemed like you were going to push the envelope on input methods and keyboard user experience.

Unfortunately, every time I’ve used Next it’s been extremely unstable to the point of being unusable, so you didn’t come close on the things you did deliver. I actually think I had a better experience with it in test flight.

We can blame this on Apple APIs, but I’ve used a number of other keyboard replacements and they haven’t had crazy issues. That includes GBoard, which can be slow loading but then runs smoothly where it counts: when you’re using it.

I know I’m being more than a little bitter, but I wanted you to win.

I’m very sorry to hear that you have to sunset this project, and I’m a big fan of your previous work. I’m also looking forward to what’s next.

But I hope that you spend more time making it work than making it cute.

Meaning that the answer to the byline - "How our app went from $20,000/day to $2/day in revenue" - is probably "the product wasn't very good".

The pertinent question for these articles is often why the founders thought they could pull of what they were doing with the budget they had in the first place.
Looks pretty neat! Any plans for a specialized charts lib built on top of it?
Yes, it's always worth waiting until v2 (or at least the first service pack / patch) before using something in anger, but experimenting in non-critical areas is fine. This applies to almost all software, but particularly the core stuff like OS and DB. I believe this is why the first Oracle DB was "v2". I'm not sure many people were fooled by this trick.
Sure, there's been a bunch of failures. But we also landed 5 landers successfully. That's pretty successful, compared to other attempts.

It depends on the age. My children have done some soccer at 4-5, and at that age, yeah it's just a fancy way of running around.

But as the kids get older, if winning and losing isn't on the table at all... what's the point? Why can't we use our hands? It's not like it affects the nonexistant outcome. Why are we chasing the balls instead of just running around on the playground? It's not like it affects the nonexistant out come. Why are we... non-existant outcome... etc. The whole activity has no foundation whatsoever if there's no victory state, and kids do eventually notice.

Yeah, some people get way too excited about it. This is not the dominant problem that I see; I see more people entirely destroying all reason to play the game at all by trying to remove the pain of loss, at the cost of the thrill of victory, any reason to work on improving oneself, and any reason to even be playing at all.

I doubt driving for Uber will earn you a net profit, considering the millage on your car.
If this is really about Tesla pushing their own ridesharing, wouldn't it be smarter for them to make all future price-breaks contingent on using their system? That way if someone really wants to drive Uber they can, but it'll cost them 10-15k extra for the "unlocked" version. This would seriously curtail Teslas being used on competing services, and when they were, Tesla would make money...

Seems like it would be better to do it with pricing than irritating rules...

Like an article that is both for and against it's subject, I agree and disagree. Pylint is painful for the author this time but it should get easier and easier with each project. If you use pylint from the start you won't get bitten by that "mountain of errors" problem and you develop a default .pylintrc file that you can bring from project to project, tweaking as needed.

A (hopefully) short story: on my last contact job I was brought in as a senior developer for a growing Django project that had 0 coding standards. I imposed a small set of coding rules (what I actually did was say we would follow the Django coding style guide, as I've learned over time pointing at an existing, 3rd-party guide means when people get butthurt about having to change a habit they get mad at the guide and not at a coworker) and then added pep8 and pylint to the git commit hook. That lasted for about a day because of the massive amount of errors from pylint (the situation the author describes), so I modified the hook to block on pep8 violations and just give a guilt-trip in pylint errors for the time being. Then myself and a couple of team members who drew short straws sucked it up and actually fixed pylint errors as we went until we could turn pylint back on. We fixed a number of bugs in that process and then going forward pylint started to show it's strength by catching the sorts of bugs the article mentions (and still enforcing a standard coding style so you could no longer look at a file and say "That's tclancy's code" but rather saw "That's our-project's code".

Having pylint in the hook process is better than running it as part of CI or ad hoc because it's run more often, meaning you get hit with a smaller number of errors at once. Having pylint or pep8 as part of your IDE is even better because you fix problems as you go. One of my current side projects is a Django project written by a Rails dev (no idea why) that I do maintenance on. The first thing I do when I open a file I've never seen is get rid of all the red and green squigly lines (or at least look at why they are there). Most of the time it's just a formatting issue but there are plenty of actual bugs it turns up. Just by opening the files to make an update or fix a bug I often wind up improving things people didn't even know were broken as a side effect.

Linters are a good thing. They can always be better and they will always annoy for some idiosyncrasy they have (or you do), but it beats ignorance.
And here's some content not behind a paywall: http://adage.com/article/cmo-strategy/goodbye-snoopy-metlife...
I don't know any other linter for any other language that complains about too many methods (or too many lines in a method, or too long variable names, etc) in a class.
I should know my domain better than pylint.
Well I found this at wikipedia:

Newspeak is the fictional language in the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, written by George Orwell. It is a controlled language created by the totalitarian state Oceania as a tool to limit freedom of thought, and concepts that pose a threat to the regime such as freedom, self-expression, individuality, and peace. [1]

It matches my definition very well:

"In my experience Newspeak was a dialect of language dictated by the illegitimate power structure to prevent the accidental communication of truthful expression which could undermine its authority."

The 419eater forums are something else.

There's some incredible forum threads where members have perfected the art of scamming the scammers to such a degree that they can get them to travel for years at at time in the hope of a payoff, constructing such a pervasive reality bubble that they never suspect they're being played.

Reading the forums, where the members are posting in real-time what they're doing and the correspondence from and to the scammers is highly engrossing.

Could you ground that assumption in some physical reasoning? Microbes are incredibly resilient and adaptive in general. If microbes on Mars are DNA based, then contact with Earth microbes would be inherently meaningful.

Many microbes proficiently incorporate external DNA. My friend was just telling me recently about multinucleate fungi that can spawn up new nuclei in which to contain dna absorbed from their environment.

Some microbes specialize in living inside other microbes. These are called intracellular parasites, and it is thought that such relationships actually account for the development of common organelles.

If humans jump to conclusions in order to colonize Mars without careful ecological study, it will be a tragedy of ignorance.

No, I didn't say that no language will ever beat C. I can't predict the future. Rust has not beaten any highly optimized microbenchmarks that I know of. Like it beats C on the mandelbrot benchmark, but is then beaten by Swift, suggesting that the C implementation isn't very good (http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/performance.php...).

The reason we have micro benchmarks is because it is so hard to reason about the average case. Yes, code written in Rust could on average be faster than C due to its safety features. But so could Python, Java or Haskell so we're back were we started and can't say anything about relative language performance.

It's a small niche, yes, but some people absolutely need to squeeze out every gram of performance, and they should continue to prefer C over Rust.
I speak Sardo, and I studied Latin for 5 years at High School, and I was very bad at it.

So I would say that "modern" Sardo (defining the "old" as the first written texts some centuries ago) it's close enough to Latin to see where every word comes from, but definitely too far to give you understanding.

I can understand Spanish though :) (context: we've been in the Spanish Kingdom for like 400 years, and the language have been influenced a lot, many shared words.)
On the flip side, many many outages lately have hit AN entire region, making the availability zone bit not so useful. For example the last US Central load balancer issue, it took out the entire central region for anyone using it.

Not sure what happened there, but think a deploy should be rolled out to 1 availability zone at a time for hosted things (like load balancer)
The most important thing is if the car has the capability to detect when its effectiveness is lower than some threshold and smoothly hands control back to the human.

At the same time, it would beam this data back to HQ and to other cars, telling them to avoid the area of uncertainty.

I'm in Rome, which isn't quite as bad, but yes compared to driving in the US it's completely different. Every day I have to deal with someone cutting me up, or doing something otherwise stupid. You need to drive quite aggressively here, and in a self-driving car I'd imagine the journey would take twice as long, as it would keep stopping to give way to avoid an accident - and drivers would definitely try to take advantage of that.
What about ~~reliability~~ durability of storage (bitrot, not the uptime)? I didn't see any information comparing this, is it practically the same across both?

edit: durability, not reliability.
What do you think of Hackeysack? It seems to have all of the characteristics of the "no point anymore without a winner" but people still don't use their hands, they still socialize and have fun and have a (reasonable) thrill of doing well and the pain of messing up.

I have a cheap mechanical watch (a Seiko) that has a transparent back where I can see the mechanism. I can't say why, but there's something about carrying around a tiny little machine that harvests energy from my movement that I enjoy.

Everything you wrote is true - the watch needs maintenance and they don't keep great time. For me, that's part of the charm. It has quirks like if I leave it face down, it loses a bit of time. When it gets very quiet, I can hear the watch's heartbeat. When I got it, the watch was fast by about 5 minutes every day so I bought some tools to open the case and adjust the machine to slow it down.

When a month has less than 31 days, I have to adjust the date on the watch and that involves turning the crown which is a shaft with gearing on the end that spins the date dial. It's all very physical.
Very cool article! Makes me excited to eventually get back to work on a screenplay concept I had involving Madden, being a Texas High School / College / Professional gridiron football Coach (not international football like FIFA), and gambling. The nice part about my write-up/concept is that it can be adjusted for generation differences so it feels modern, or purposefully pinned to a time frame (ex: early 2000s) for a "period piece" type of thing.

As a long-time gear head I know that quite a few professional race drivers express appreciation for some of the simulators on the market currently. If anything for track memory assistance, because, well the 'Ring is almost 13 miles.

Correct, but I believe what they may mean is that the data will be parsed at an attempt to deserialize it. This may have unintended side-effects. For example, you have to make sure you don't want to add a property to your POCO with that name now.

Now they just need a better terminal emulator. Windows 10 made some minor but much needed adjustment, but I still end up using Cmdr (a nicely preconfigured ConEmu), and it's decent enough, but it pales over a nicely configured iTerm2 or what most popular Linux distros come with out of the box.
The initial stages of a sigmoid curve resemble exponential growth. I'm pretty sure that the exponential character we've witnessed is the result of miniaturization of the transistor and the industrialization of large third-world economies, both of which are running out of steam. If we don't get some major new breakthroughs, expect to see the other side of that sigmoid soon enough.

We may see another brief exponential curve with the development of carbon nano-computers, likely netting at least an order of magnitude additional computing performance. I have strong doubts about the feasibility of general purpose quantum computing (though it will definitely have niche uses).

Why can't a project just need developers? Maybe you need 2 or 3 across many skill ranges.

I don't know much about microbiology, but I'm not sure that there will definitely be a huge difference between microbes on Earth and microbes on Mars. It could very well be that life was delivered to Earth from Mars at some point in the distant past.

Perhaps the only places that microbial life exists on Mars are in places that have conditions similar to Earth. Underground water, etc.
More so than that, looking at website design from a monetary perspective: It's fast, cheap, and easy.

I'm afraid this is probably the main reason flat design caught on. It's achievable by developers with little design background, and can be implemented with little more than a bit of boilerplate from some CSS framework for a web site or the equivalent in a UI builder for an app. No need to hire anyone with digital artwork skills or experience designing more complicated UIs, and no need to prepare and serve the associated assets as part of your site/app.

Unfortunately, from a usability and accessibility point of view, current trends in design and typography are still objectively awful in various ways, and from a brand distinctiveness point of view, it's still a severely limited style to work within. There's an (actually quite reasonable) argument that a lot of designers and marketers who promote branding aren't generating particularly good returns until you get to large, well established, well known businesses anyway, but the usability and accessibility flaws hurt everyone.
Alternative conclusion- I'm exhausted by this conversation, and don't want to continue it. It has little to do with your argument and everything to do with the way you're arguing.

This is exactly why it has ignore flags. Remember Python's attitude is "explicit is better than implicit": if you know what you are doing, you just put a flag over it. pylint is trying to catch the cases where a person didn't know what they're doing. I'd rather have to add a flag than have it miss those.

Cold storage looks cheap at first glance, but for the amount of data I have to backup (about 3 TB), I work out the cost to:

For that price, I'm better off just paying $60 / yr for CrashPlan, which is unlimited storage. I'd say that applies to anyone who has a terabyte or more of stuff to back up.
