I recently started using Emacs in a tiling window manager on Linux after using "standard" GUI editors like PyCharm, AppCode, Atom, VSCode, etc. on macOS. At first, I felt exactly like you describe - it felt so constraining not having a tree view and tabs I could click on. But after a while I got used to using a keyboard shortcut to quickly jump between files or search for a file to open. I'm slowly getting used to it and find even the basic set of keyboard shortcuts I've learned feel so much more productive then combined use of a mouse and keyboard.

Just one example of that - recently I needed to create some UUIDs to use in my code. Previously, I would have googled a UUID generator or used uuid on the command line and then pasted the output into my editor. With Emacs, I was able to easily insert the UUID directly into my code using `C-u M-! uuidgen` (that keyboard shortcut inserts the output of the given command at the current cursor location).

Great tactical game by Facebook.
How would you test something like this, if not aggregating user reports? Attempting to preemptively think of every possible thing that could be construed as politically incorrect is a Sisyphean task. It's a lot like the "H8GAYS" airline confirmation code that made headlines [1]. Delta probably blacklisted all profane words, but there are still combinations that can be perceived as offensive. Similarly, I once worked at a summer camp teens that generated users' passwords by picking two words and two numbers (all profanity was blacklisted as were 69, 88, 13, and I think a few other numbers). That didn't stop a camp attendee's parents from getting called in because their daughter was assigned the password "bloodyunhappy12" (the concern was that "bloody unhappy" referred to menstruation).

As soon as Wylie opened his mouth in the Guardian interview something cried "spotlight-seeker" inside me. Trying to square his professed left leanings with the right-wing projects he's fronted still doesn't add up. His "guilt" trip was so phoney I nearly threw up.
> It is worth noting that an independent review completed by the U.S. Government over a year ago found that Autopilot reduces crash rates by 40%.

They always put this out there. You could reduce crash rates but still have a higher chance of death under failure. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's ready for primetime, especially as it's been marketed.

If this was a result of an Autopilot failure (perhaps because the crash attenuator was not fixed from the prior collision as they noted) then Tesla is screwed.

The article itself contains multiple sources (links), not all of them reference previous Buzzfeed articles.

Unfortunately people nowadays expect one article to give them all the facts they think they need. Sometimes what appears to be bias in a story can be brought down to mistakes, space constraints, even the timing of the release of certain facts that may alter the story within a few hours. Any news story should be scrutinized with skepticism, but looking at the story from multiple sources should give you all the information you need to assess the veracity.

Interesting but what should be of greater concern is how this collected data can be used and the fact that you can't have them delete it.

It frustrates me when even very smart techies get caught up on data collection when we know advances in ML and behavioral psychology have made it so that these companies and governments can do some scary and downright disturbing things.

For example: Sure, I don't like it when google plots on a map every place I travel to via location history. But of greater concern would be collection of gyroscope and other sensor data from my phone. Does <bigcorp> know how I walk,handle my phone and what other devices are usually near me? Can they use this and other seemingly innocuous data over time to recognize or infer behavioral patterns about me? Is any of the content I consume being filtered or customized based on this collected data?

Can FB for example induce depression and cause n% of people to commit suicide? Can this data be used to manipulate employees to staying at or leaving a company,or applying for or declining a position?

This is what concens me greatly,not whether or not google has a naked picture of me or if someone at FB has knowledge of my phone or text conversations.

Sadly the public is completely clueless as to what is at stake -- it isn't just privacy.
Thank you for the recommendations, I'll evaluate these.
Nostalgia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7rKj0DU8Xs sad this could be done in 1985.

Commodore was vertically integrated like Apple of today, they had a stellar custom chip development team, and had revolutionary chips in the worlds (AAA and Hombre) that would have been like 3dfx, but in 1992, delivering a quantum leap in gfx and single-texturing 3d pipeline well before others.

I'm really bummed the company flushed it down the toilet and "Xerox PARC"'ed itself, by having a winning team of researchers and engineers, but not being able to make a business.
> Can I not work in tech without being passionate?

You can, but from the employer's perspective many markets have more applicants than positions. The employer can choose those who are closer to the ideal employee. One of the qualities of such an employee is often someone who throws themselves with passion into doing the job.

Put another way, why should an employer with a stack of applicants pick those who aren't as motivated or qualified as others? That is why entry-level positions require 3 years of experience.
It seems to me the whole problem amounts to companies deciding to redefine the word "entry", then acting all disappointed when no one else uses that definition.

"Entry" means "to enter the workforce". It means you have pre-work experience such as a specific degree, speak a certain language, etc.

If you advertise an "entry level web development" job and I just boot camped for that, I am qualified and will apply.

If you want "Junior Developer", say so.

(Comment by someone that this is a gimmick to reduce salary sounds pretty right on.)
>if that delays things by X years, then that mean X times 40k people will die.

>That's the tradeoff.

No. With the unknown value X (and numerous other, very relevant unknowns that you have conveniently omitted), that is not a trade off. That is speculation...No, that is worse than speculation. That is just wrong.

That is like some one saying

"Hey you, you are so unlucky that you might kill X number of people every year if you drive a car, so you should not drive a car. Are the lives of X people really worth risking just so that you can drive around in a car?". See? without the value of X, that is just meaningless.

You just can't plug in variables and construct arguments as if they are of certain values and with no sort of quantification. That is like..fundamentally wrong....

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't DPR go well beyond creating a piece of software that might be abused, well beyond even making public statements indicating knowledge of illegal activity?

Yes, data is fragmented and served in chunks just like Bittorrent. You might only serve small chunks of any given piece of data, and as a downloader you may be downloading different chunks from different peers.

Physical products are much easier to intuit your way around than software. For cars, effectively everyone knows what the engine, fuel tank, tires, and drive selection lever are (though they may call the last one a "PRNDL"). Even if they don't know exactly how an alternator works, they understand that they need to drive their car around after they jump it to recharge the battery.

By comparison, I think most people don't even know the basic architecture of a computer, let alone the applications that run on it. Most people don't have an understanding of the network stack - I consider people ahead of the curve if they know the difference between LAN and the wider internet. Some people even think it's possible to download more RAM...
This isn’t the type of answer you were asking for, but...

Apprenticeship is invaluable. If you can, find an adept functional programmer to learn from.

I was fortunate enough to get a job at a place using Elm and Elixir, and I had the opportunity to learn from another developer with a lot of passion for FP. It was incredibly helpful for learning.

Good luck! FP is a great tool for your tool belt and teaches a lot about good code design.
I would assume that if law enforcement becomes aware of it they buy it and find a way to trace it back to the seller.
It also has no framebuffer, meaning all the graphics need to be generated by the CPU in realtime. That hasn't stopped the demoscene from doing absolutely amazing things with the hardware, however:

Why did the US give up all their airplane manufacturing capabilities to private companies?
A big chunk of the tech industry doesn't think in 7+ years long terms. They think in "next seed round" terms. Therefore, they want senior devs now so they build whatever they need to hopefully hit the user count for the next seed round.

If your company thinks short term (e.g. next 2 years) like most tech startups do, hiring juniors and training is out of the question.
Cosmologists would agree with you. They are looking to define the hand waving they have to do in order to explain the universe we can see. Whatever that explanation is, it must be “shaped” like dark matter, though. This is different than epicycles, which were a specific “solution” to the problem of Keplerian motion. Dark matter is not an explanation, it is an observation in search of an explanation.

Here’s a not-so-bold prediction: sometime this century some team will detect something new that explains some but not all of the effects we currently attribute to dark matter. We will call it the explanation to the problem and the remainder will be given a new catchy name and people on the HN of the future will complain that this thing is simple hand waving.
It's a disaster on everyone's screen.
The Fields medalist at the helm of France's AI task force (2018)
This is a good explanation, but there's a bit more to be said about MOND. MOND only argues that dark matter is unnecessary, it does not argue against the existence of undetected matter.

If you look at a galaxy, you can measure the amount of visible mass using star luminosity, and you can calculate the total mass of the galaxy under standard cosmology using orbits, radial velocities and so forth. Comparing the visible mass to the calculated mass reveals a huge discrepancy. Some of the undetected matter can be normal, baryonic matter, but there is to much missing matter for it all to be normal matter. So we postulate the existence of an unknown type of matter that interacts gravitationally but not by radiation (light).

Using MOND, when you calculate the the mass of a galaxy and compare it to the visible mass, you still get a discrepancy! This discrepancy is much smaller however. Under standard cosmology it's a factor of 10-100 times, under MOND, the mass discrepancy is usually in the neighborhood of 2. In other words, under MOND, there's still matter in the universe that we can't detect by its light, but the missing mass is small enough that it can be explained by normal matter that's to dim to detect. This is why things like the bullet cluster are actually expected under MOND.

I don't know the particulars of this exact galaxy, but it's possible that the radial velocities that astronomers measured for its stars have a high enough margin of error such that it still fits within MOND's predictions. Something I've noticed is that MOND is still fringe enough that you can't necessarily trust non-MOND physicists when they talk about it. One thing is for sure however, this galaxy is as puzzling for Dark Matter as it is for MOND.
even if you get past all the issues that spicymaki mentioned, you'd still run into the issue that most sd cards have absolutely atrocious performance for being used as something like the boot drive for a computer. even the good micro sd cards are pretty terrible compared to the internal storage in your average smartphone.

if using a really slow tablet or phone appeals to you, roll your own tablet with a raspberry pi, touchscreen, battery, and micro sd card.

I had a phone that (almost) worked like this way back in 2010. It wasn't an Android phone though, Dell Venue Pro running Windows Phone 7. All the user-facing storage was in the form of an SD card but there was actually a smallish amount of onboard storage that was used to flash the OS image when you inserted a blank card. There was also some sort of device-specific encryption key preventing you from moving cards between phones without reformatting.
