Inside Tesla’s Model 3 Factory
Most likely you can freely do the installation yourself but it has to be connected or maybe just cross-checked and then signed off by a certified electrician to become a legal installation. That's what homeowners commonly do to save money.
No, you are quite mistaken. The order was absolutely perfect.

ThinkNubs are good. Apple Touchpads occasionally look down from their seat at Mount Olympus to be entertained by watching the mortals, such as the ThinkNub, go through their silly struggles of life.

PC touchpads, on the other hand, can only be explained by their creators being evil incarnate. Such malice cannot sprout from nothing.

Thinkpad Touchpads are particularly evil, as the BIOS touchpad disable on some Thinkpads with ThinkNubs disable the mouse buttons belonging to the ThinkNub.

As Jesus once said: "Transplant me an Apple Touchpad, completed by the pointer stack from macOS, onto a PC with Linux, and thou shall be permitted into Heaven."

Seriously, though, the Nub is like a joystick, where touchpads, touchscreens and mice are basically absolute positioning devices when implemented correctly (such as on a Mac)—that is, move distance N on the touchpad/touchscreen/mouse, and the cursor will move exactly that distance, as if you had physically grabbed the cursor and moved it. With the nub, the distance becomes a function of time+accel.
Ethereum is trying to be a lot of things and has some pretty severe architectural problems. I bet the Mozilla stun server lasts longer.

What part of the standard should I read to come to the conclusion that type punning with unions is undefined behavior? C99 and C11 both explicitly mention that it's not, but maybe you're talking C89/C90?

IMO there are 4 highly relevant paragraphs in C99:

6.2.6.1: When a value is stored in an object of structure or union type, including in a member object, the bytes of the object representation that correspond to any padding bytes take unspecified values.

6.2.6.1: When a value is stored in a member of an object of union type, the bytes of the object representation that do not correspond to that member but do correspond to other members take unspecified values

6.5.2.3 DR283) If the member used to access the contents of a union object is not the same as the member last used to store a value in the object, the appropriate part of the object representation of the value is reinterpreted as an object representation in the new type as described in 6.2.6 (a process sometimes called "type punning").

6.7.2.1: A pointer to a union object, suitably converted, points to each of its members (or if a member is a bit-field, then to the unit in which it resides), and vice versa.

None of this implies that unions can't be used for type punning. What it does imply is that reading from a larger member of the union than you last wrote to will leave you with an unspecified value.

When you add up how much a life costs in SF compared to many other places (and in my case I was comparing to life in a large West-European city where I currently live, and where driving/owning a car is a rarity, where healthcare is ubiquitous and relatively inexpensive), there is a significant economic advantage when earning nearly half what you'd earn in SF.

I'm not just talking about rent (which, incidentally, for my family, 2K per month is much lower than the rent we were looking at to accommodate our kids and private life without roommates in SF), but also about how much you spend on your transportation or gas every day, your healthcare premiums and deductibles, cost of groceries and entertainment, auto mortgages and/or insurance for 2 cars (because 1 car for a family wouldn't cut it there).... and the answer becomes obvious.
This comment about rumors surrounding Anderson's departure intrigued me enough for me to Google a source. https://www.technologyreview.com/the-download/608739/some-te... is one of the top results.
I worked for Infosys for over 10 years. This article gets all the key facts right, but doesn't capture the soul of Infosys or the Indian IT Industry.

I can offer so much on the topic, that it gets overwhelming as I type. So I am just writing my thoughts, some of them on the article and some based on the comments on this page.

- Not all engineers are of low quality. In my experience about 10% of them are as good as SV engineers.

- Infosys founder NRN is a socialist at heart. He pioneered sharing of wealth via stocks (ESOPs). And he did it so well, that all employees got it - drivers to janitors to sys admins to coders. So very unlike the shocking Amazon shop floor stories we hear.

- It has resulted in an ecosystem of Startups in India. Many of the ex-employees who benefitted from the Infosys shares, are doing their own startups (many of them product startups, as a result of getting bored with IT services). So it has acted like a YCombinator of sorts. There even was a ex-Infoscion startup group. And the best part is they can do their own angel funding. So no running for VCs atleast in the early stages.

- For the above reason, I revere him as much as may be a Gandhi or a MLK. The other two I read, only in a book. Very rarely do you get a chance to interact with truly great people IRL.

- Jugaad. This a word I hate with a vengeance. That's what gives a bad impression to Indians. And admittedly it happens a lot. Although Infosys founders, in how they ran their company, serve largely as a counter example. Minus of course some things like H1B visa issue. Just as a contrast read the story of Satyam (another IT company) whose founder Raju did wholesale jugaad and landed in jail in 2009, because the real estate leverage built on fake salaries of fictitous employees, his jugaad, failed.

- Product engineer skills. This is an area, where Infosys/others lack. And thats not only for aptitude or potential, but the culture. Because the Industry grew so fast - 100% YOY in early decades and 50% YOY in the last one - people were pushed to being managers & leads, after just two years of coding experience. And as such bulk of the work is very low quality coding.

- But the numbers in India are so big. Whether its the population of a billion+ or no. of engineers. That there is both quality and quantity. Just look at any coding site (HackerRank, TopCoder et al) and you will see Indian programmers dominating in numbers as well as few performing at a world class quality level.

- Regarding the bad experience, with Indian IT engineers. I wonder how many of them were with a company like Infosys and how many of them were with sites like UpWork/etc? Please note because of the overwhelming quantity of Indian engineers. Its not easy to find the quality engineers, which are also significant in number, but you have to be lucky or have to work hard. (Heck, may be there is a scope to do a TopTal like site, but just for India.)
I'm a long time AMD fan, since my first computer had Athlon XP inside. However, over many years I have been using exclusively Intel CPUs, because in laptop space there was no other viable choice(and I use Macs). Nevertheless, I always hoped AMD can come back and shake the market a little.

After Bulldozer fiasco, I was skeptical about Ryzen. I would have never guessed that it will mark their comeback to high performance market. What is really surprising here is how bad Intel has failed. You would expect company with its own fabs, virtual monopoly on the market and loads of capital to be prepared for such a situation. Everybody thought Intel to slow down progress because of no competition. I guess very few people thought they are actually clueless and that's how the situation looks right now.

Processor market appears to be something to watch in the coming years.
I can recommend getting a a licensed copy of LINQPad. It's a brilliant tool for trying out ideas and prototyping.
the trick was used for music in the 50-60s, I don't really remember what was paid for, radio time or fake buyers, probably fake buyers but it created a positive feedback loop that made radio play more of the 'hot disc' which made more people like it and buy some more
If something is end to end encrypted, then by definition it is not made available (in unencrypted form) to the general public (as opposed to a select group of individuals with the relevant keys/logins)

The fact the software itself may be available to the wider public to set up other private communications channels to exchange other messages with other parties is irrelevant
I did mean intel
I think the thing a lot of people struggle with are applying soft skills in their written words. Many devs in my experience come across as very analytical, almost emotionless in their written communication. It's precise, but not great for developing social bonds. It's something I'm very guilty of myself, especially in code reviews. I think we could all benefit by considering the human element in our writing.

It's such a different skill set though compared to in-person communication, where much of this happens non-verbally. I think it's a lot easier for people who grew up with it. I spent a lot of time on MUDs and BBSs when I was younger, where this kind of communication was prevalent.
I don't see him swearing at people. I see him swearing at the contribution - at least in this example. There are many instances of him swearing at people and I think he does himself and Linux in general a disservice, but that one? I fail to see the problem.
>> This is why in other threads I have often observed people asking for a more holistic approach to evaluate scientific output.

In many cases engineers evaluate scientific output by making things. Some results are too theoretical to be useful in the near term and that's fine, but if all the science is that abstract we have a problem. We're at the point where science is feeding into science rather than into the real world.

I had it pretty much solid green at one point, thanks to a hacky script that polled a website and committed & pushed the content as it changed. Wasn't even trying to game it, but it would be incredibly easy to do so.
Sure, swearing may indicate lack of self-control, but the lack of swearing does not indicate self-control, nor does the presence of swearing indicate lack of self-control.

I once saw a doc about the alarming levels of rape in the U.S. military. Some of these guys were pretty high rank, so I guess they fooled everyone that they possessed self-control, (perhaps they didn't swear), but in reality they clearly lacked self-control. I only bring up this example to explain my point, I know there are many officers who don't swear and don't lack self-control, but my point is that the lack of swearing doesn't really prove anything, nor does the presence of swearing.
To be clear, by misleading marketing, I meant things like the "autopilot" feature. And claiming that they have "full self driving hardware". I am not sure how the safety of vehicles with assistive tech is relevant. I am not at all disagreeing on that aspect. You were saying that fact that vehicles with assistive tech are safer is reflected in tesla's marketing and PR. I am still not sure how that could be the case. How does it justify calling a half baked self driving tech as autopilot and selling them to unsuspecting people?

>At no point in the chain of logic is it necessary to call upon the motivations of Elon Musk.

We are interested in their motivation because we are thinking long term. When you are need of a million bucks, and a person shows up with a million bucks that they are willing to give you, without asking for payback, will you accept it right away? Or will you try to infer the true motivation behind the act, that may turn out to be sinister? This is irrespective of the fact that the other person is giving you real money, that can help you right now. Will you think like, we don't need to worry about their motivations as long as we are getting real money. Will you?

Hope I am clear.

I have contemplated large purchases while in IKEA’s caf. I’ve even gone back to measure or check on different configurations. If they didn’t have them, I would have left already to eat, and possibly decided against following through on the order.
I'm pretty sure that in the UK the massive increase in higher education and the introduction of tuition fees was intended to keep unemployment down and get people to take on the financial burden of keeping themselves off the dole.

I am saying that we cant know what Nazi Germany would have done with them - i.e. we cant know if they'd have been "good" or "bad" with them. Anything we think now is merely conjecture and speculation. We have to take a step back and really examine and question our own beliefs and biases. How much of what I am thinking is actually legit, and how much is affected by what I've seen at the movies/been told by teachers/read in the papers/seen on TV and just accepted as fact?

But we do know for an absolute fact is that the US did use nuclear weapnos to kill thousands and thousands and thousands of innocent men, women and children (and for the sake of balance, we do know for an absolute fact that the Nazis did kill thousands and thousands and thousands of innocent men, women and children, but not using nuclear weapons)

There is only one country with actual blood on their hands here with regard to nuclear weapons - the other nuclear powers have so far been able to show restraint.

As such, I find it pretty objectionable for people to suggest that it was "far better" this way, when the evidence really does not back it up.

I am not saying it is not best possible outcome for the world. Could it have been worse if the Nazis had for example nuked London in 1945 and killed a million? Sure, of course that might have happened, but it didn't actually happen. Perhaps had the nazis had that chance, the UK would have surrendered and there would have been peace and countless lives could have been saved and a completely new era of peace and prosperity begun? Or perhaps it would have also been untold slaughter and misery like the US did to Japan?

We just cant know, and so I object to people saying it was "far better" for history to have played out the way it did based mainly on - I suspect - the plot of Hollywood movies they've seen. History is written by the victors.

Anyway, this is way off topic and Godwin's Law has clearly been invoked. We should stop.
Isn't Miguel de Icaza also with Microsoft now ?

My understanding (someone correct me if I'm wrong) is that virgin CaO is released from volcanic activity, and the aforementioned underground basalt is an igneous rock that has not been exposed to surface atmospheric conditions, and thus contains some amount of unreacted CaO.
And neither do you.
> I thought intel, after a decade of market domination, was sitting on piles of options and brains. But AMD made them drown (on the PR side) way faster than I expected. The only thing they had was Premium 10cores models. No innovative design or idea.

Intel has AVX-512, which is in my opinion one of the greatest innvoation in the x96 instruction set for a long time. The problem is that Intel wants to introduce AVX-512 only very slowly into consumer CPUs (slowly beginning with Cannon Lake, which will only be available in small quantities for some time if rumors are to be believed). Even more: For some parts of AVX-512 (e.g. 4FMAPS and 4FMAPS which are very useful for deep learning), Intel seems to be willing only for special expensive accelerator cards (Knights Mill) to include them to segment markets even further.

Similarly it is often complained that Intel offers no ECC support for the Core i... series of CPU (IMHO this complaint is rightful). Again: Intel does offer it, but only in the much more expensive server/workstation CPUs (Xeon).

So in my opinion Intel is sitting on a lot of options and brains - but they seem only willing to sell this in the really expensive CPUs for much higher prices than lots of market segments are willing to pay.
The distinction is lost because in many cases it doesn't hold relevance anymore. You don't need to write flow-charts, state or class diagrams before you start writing code. Todays tooling allows for more iterative approaches and also leaves room for making syntax errors without having to wait hours and days to get "compiler" errors.

But I agree it's still interesting to know of the distinction and know that both can require slightly different skillsets. So when you have someone that is very good at planing and has the experience to layout complex systems in advance, you can assign them an architect title, while someone who knows a programming language inside and outside, you might be better off keeping them in the "driving" seat.
That it's popular. Nothing more. There are cases where it matters, there are cases where it does not.
Atlassian's not really an "underdog", presumably. As for me, I would hate to have my source code in the hands of the people responsible for "JIRA".

I used to worry about being over dressed or underdressed for interviews or events. At some point I just decided that I'd never looked at someone else and considered them to be overdressed, so maybe there is no such thing. Dress in what makes you feel confident while also avoiding being underdressed. If you have a suit and the other person is in a t-shirt, they are more likely to think "looks sharp", or "they are taking this seriously" than anything negative (as long as you don't appear to feel uncomfortable in what you are wearing).

It's an interesting problem, when the most talented companies in China and Russia will have no problem developing AI weapons for the state to benefit the motherland (and even if they do have a problem with it, they'll have little choice).

My guess is the way the deep state and military industrial complex will deal with this, is to seed new Googles - In-Q-Tel, DARPA, etc - that are more cooperative in this area, and to punish Google in various ways going forward for non-alignment (overtly or otherwise). What use to the military complex is Google if they won't fully cooperate on something like this; time to get themselves a new Google.
And that's the reason PR exists. To translate text written by "knowledgeable person, who writes in not acceptable to everyone language" into "language acceptable to everyone". This also leads to no more direct contact between public and those people and the eternal cries of "we only get PR speak!!"

The chances that you get to hear things from the source and never hear things in a way you don't like is almost zero. You have to make a decision.
If your only goal is just to make money for yourself, then you're a part of this "work bullshit" problem.
I was explicitly not talking about the therapy, but the management of the therapy. That's a key distinction here.
This article basically said nothing. So there's a bunch of wanna be maker spaces where nothing gets made? So too are there a bunch of wanna be accelerators in the bay area that never fund anything. So what?
When did we start equating swearing with honesty? It would be strange to hear a prosecutor tell a witness, "You're not swearing - I need you to stop lying".

If anything, swearing clouds what you really mean. "Is he saying 'fuck' because he thinks the policy was unfairly applied, or because it was misunderstood? I don't know bro, but at least he's being honest".
It was much more straight forward to build levels that would be well lit with the standard tooling in my experience. I didn't have to change anything at all and there were fewer weird artifacts to clean up.

The asset workflow from Blender to substance painter to Unreal also had no hidden demons. It all just worked as expected.

Just to be clear as well, my concerns weren't about the post processing stack which I got working to good effect in Unity. But the lightmapping and material workflow is just a bit clunky in unity. To say nothing of the confusion that having more than one lighting engine causes in docs and online support.
The one thing I hope Godot can push towards is just a huge pass in usability, smoothing out UI bugs and just generally improving the look and feel of the entire engine and all of it's UI - stuff like the 'inspector' panel just doesn't feel as nice or as usable as something like Unity's - it has great features but in my opinion just doesn't "feel" quite as polished as it could be, but I really do hope for this engine to keep improving and getting better
> its new right-at-the-end placement is still prominent for people who read the whole document (as employees should) or who skip to the end.

AFAIK the sauerkraut available in German supermarkets is fermented. My parents used to make their own, and it really was not that much work. I don't remember it tasting very different from the stuff you can buy here (Germany).

This reminds me that I've never bought sauerkraut myself. I kinda like it but I don't cook the things that go with it at home.

That's exactly the sort of thing Jacobs was against, though. She believed a functioning city needed to have a mixture of uses -- not just residential or just commercial and that great cities had discovered that by accident. She was a proponent of "New Urbanism" which (at least in the US) is a popular trend -- new developments aren't just residential suburbs or shopping malls but often have things like apartment/condo buildings with stores and restaurants in the lower levels making pedestrianism a practical option.
