To be fair, that's a pretty big niche. There are hundreds of thousands if not millions of office buildings out there and they all need someone to design the interiors.

But one thing that's kind of cool about it is that it doesn't scale beyond a certain point. Because it requires legs on the ground, this is the sort of business that isn't winner takes all. Sure you can get large, but there's always going to be room for boutique design firms.
Constructors Considered Harmful
Everything else that can break is also something that can break on an electric car. Major powertrain failures are so rare as to be practically nonexistent in modern passenger cars. All the reliability that stems from an electric motors simplicity means nothing when it's the completely blown out suspension and failed power window regulators that cause someone to scrap a used up electric car.
Static methods (in JavaScrip/ES6) can do the same thing as user-defined constructors more flexibly since they do not need to call the super-constructor.

Having to call the super-constructor is a form of data-dependency between the super-class and sub-class, which can be avoided by defining static methods instead of custom constructors.
This is just leasing with a different name, non-negotiable price, and insurance baked in. In many ways that's an improvement but it's disingenuous for Volvo to call it a subscription.

Personally, Heroku has too much magic around the build packs and what not.

Kubernetes for stateless apps is easy:

1. Create a Docker image with your app.
2. Write about 20 lines of YAML for a Deployment
3. Write maybe 10 lines of YAML for a Service

Done. You can automate the entire roll out via Travis and using some `sed` replacements on the Deployment.

I have got blue-green roll outs working with two deployments and two service descriptors and maybe 30 lines of `bash`.
But that doesn't explain why. For tens of thousands of years the people would have been as intelligent as any of us. Surely in all those years an Einstein would have been born who would push things forward much faster.
What do you mean by nicer? I would imagine that something that is application specific would not require generics.

Interfaces do not throw away type safety if they are used correctly. They are also better suited for the consumer of the type rather than the definer. One of your problems might be that you are prematurely abstracting your interfaces for your callers.

Criptext Launches World’s Most Private Encrypted Email Service
Karl Ove Knausgaard Concludes “My Struggle”
I notice that you use the word "stagnation" here, which definitely has a negative subtext. Most people probably feel that same negativity towards the thought of that long period of slow change / stability. I wonder, however, whether that subtext is appropriate. Perhaps they were happy with their lives? Maybe there were no changes because we'd reached an equilibrium, and people were happy enough that no one did anything radical that would change their way of life.

Or, to take a middle ground between those two stances, maybe, well, it was just an equilibrium (sans value judgment about whether it was a 'good' one or a 'bad' one). What's wrong with a system at equilibrium?
Want more mind-blow? Consider this: the oral tradition of the Aborigines in Australia has been scientifically confirmed to extend back to 70,000 years.

We, the modern era, can hardly keep our oral traditions going for a 100 years.

Another fascinating fact: they did this, by fundamentally using a form of signed key - stories (oral traditions) were to be told in multiple languages; the language of ones own tribe, and of the tribe to which you journey. Only if those stories could be told in the same languages, were they persisted ..

I honestly think one of the biggest travesties of the modern era is that we ever considered such cultures 'inferior' to our own. They even had a version of the Hippocratic oath way before us .. we had 'miasma theory', they knew already about the antiseptic nature of plants .. they've operated the longest-still-operational mine in human history .. its just staggering.
As someone who just started getting into it, it's kinda hard to come up with an application until you have one and know how to use it a bit. I bought an icestick not knowing what I was going to do with it, but now I have quite a few ideas. They can be useful in robotics, as glue logic, for sensor fusion or for very precise real-time applications.

apio is a command line tool that automates installing the toolchain for your FPGA and running it. It just simplifies things, you don't have to use it if you'd rather call the individual tools for synthesis, P&R, simulation etc. It'd be reasonable to think of it as akin to a very smart Makefile combined with an automatic package manager, specialized to FPGAs (it's based on PlatformIO). It's nice when you're still kind of getting oriented, because you don't need to know how to set up and invoke the different tools... just call `apio build` or `apio simulate`.

I said $650 for 6 months for both cars.
You pay $50/m x 6 = $300 every 6m. I do the same ($42/m) for my X3.

I just looked up my actual bill for the split (it is even lower). I pay $257 for X3 ($42/m) & $357 for Tesla ($60/m). For context I am in Seattle market, 40s, clean record. When I said fake news, I meant the article seem to play on the FUD for Tesla/EV vehicles. Check the M3 forums, no one seem to pay $2500/6m unless in corner cases.

I'm getting to the point that I believe social media is making us dumb.

For example: a real conversation has so much more depth because of facial expressions, change in voice, and so on. An emicon can't replace that.
That's a good point. I doubt I could get that clearance for example.

Mercedes UK sells more broad market vehicles. Mercedes USA is focused on the premium market. The cheapest Mercedes in the USA is a CLA with the 2.0L turbo. We don't get the A/V/X-Class or anything with an engine that is <200bhp.

Most shops in the US won't do more than basic work on them. Being so rare, you typically have to go to the dealer or a Euro-import specialist shop in the US. These shops typically won't work on a new-new car, they typically wait until the model is 5 years old before picking up the equipment for them (which can be expensive).

It's not a cultural different, but an economics one. I'm sure getting a Ford Mustang fixed in the UK is expensive despite being a car any American mechanic is comfortable working on.

I think the economic climate is worsening, there's much polarization which encourages censorship. Probably also gov't funded and big IP holder lobbying.

Not at all true.
> I mean, can you point to one example of another country that we'd consider part of the free world that makes toddlers represent themselves in any sort of court proceeding?

Are you sure this isn't the general practice? The US isn't prohibiting them from having an attorney (or their parents etc.), it's just not paying for their attorney.

It's the same as when a toddler sets fire to someone else's property. If there is a lawsuit the government doesn't pay for the defendant's lawyer, independent of how old they are. That's on the parents.
That depends a lot on which bronze age you're referring to! Different civilisations developed a little differently, particularly where writing is concerned. While in Egypt, writing developed out of central records, it likely developed (slightly earlier) in Mesopotamia as an expansion of a token system, used to ensure counts of livestock, etc.

It should also be noted that Gobekli Tepe was built several millenia before the beginning of the near-eastern Bronze Age. The reason it IS so fascinating is its having been built millenia before agriculture. The systems of religion, administration, and agriculture, did co-develop, but could only do so after the agricultural revolution.
> Sure people can argue that they'll just get someone else to build it.

The true argument would be that those things aren't unethical (or are merely poorly stated, or misunderstood), and no one should feel bad for their actions in building them.

I don't think people want face tracking software to be explicitly "racist", anymore than Apple wanted their first generation of digital cameras lenses to poorly take pictures of dark skinned people.

> The world would be a better place if more people drew that line in the sand.

Thing is... people keep changing where the line in the sand ought to be drawn and soon start believing that anyone whose line is in a place it was merely ten years previously is "unethical". Ethics isn't supposed to be a spectrum, or a hammer to beat others over the head with, its supposed to be a way in which we communicate our ideals to one another so we can build together, or at least live together.

Now this may not be you, but I think too many people are becoming intractable about their views.
By these metrics Apple seems pretty undervalued IMO
I couldn't recommend PFSense more. Setting up my home firewall years ago using it on a pcengines.ch board was really easy and fun. I used a (now long discontinued) WRAP board back in the day, then when broadband became faster I had to remove it because the slow processor would bottleneck my connection, but I'm looking forward to get faster hardware to have it working again.
One day, well over 10 years ago, while I was moving from the old ISP to a new one, they screwed up something and I spent some weeks cut off from the Internet. The WRAP board had a mini-pci connector I already had fitted with a powerful WiFi card, so I connected a high gain directional antenna in place of the low gain one and started monitoring the channels. Back in the day there still were weak WEP encrypted connections, but I was even more lucky because a local ISP which delivered their routers with no default encryption had no less than 3 customers in my neighborhood, one of which, probably an office with no traffic at least since the evening, allowed me to surf a lot faster than my previous connection. PFSense was a godsend because all I had to do was set the rules so that the WLAN interface became a slave seen as the WAN, so I got back online all my cabled home network in a matter of minutes.

As a Linux guy I have to admit PFSense and similar products (NAS4Free etc) interface is the best I have ever seen around wrt functionality and ease of use, sadly OpenWRT web interface simply doesn't stand a chance, and I'm not referring to aesthetics as I'm aware OpenWRT is aimed at hardware with orders of magnitude less resources, but pure functionality - in fact I have never been able to configure a small tp-link mr3020 router to use it as a WiFi bridge for my networked but not wireless printer. Yes it can be done and there is a HOWTO on that task, but it doesn't work and low level iptables scripts aren't exactly my strong point. It would be trivial doing that with PFSense, but sadly it cannot fit into that device.

There are no locks because there are no doors, only walls.

You can't seriously suggest that leaving Apple has no costs, that leaving a tightly integrated ecosystem that doesn't work well with anything else outside its walls is a low barrier to exit.
That's a detail the parent clearly skipped for tldr. On the kind of large (expensive) FPGA you might use for that kind of image you will find what are called deserialisers and serialisers which are hardware blocks that can take a serial bitstream as may come from a camera module or dvi bus and split it up onto your parallel processing streams.

The kind of small FPGA as is mentioned in the OT is typically used for "glue logic", that is performing relatively simple logic on multiple pins, often to adapt one hardware protocol (say mipi bus from a camera module) to another (say spi Bus understood by a cheap micro controller).
Maybe my perception is tainted by the contemporary narrative but it seems Americans have dramatically turned inward over the past 15-20 years. Yesteryear, even when snooty Europhiles were lambasted, most Americans respected world travel, especially for work. It fit into the traditional American story of traveling to the frontier to make your living, leaving your comfort zone.

These days people do all they can to stay put, eschewing travel or relocation, both internationally and domestically. The dearth of truck drivers also seems to reflect this cultural shift.
It's certainly not impossible that they follow through, but that's the kind of prediction I'd take a with a huge grain of salt.

The New Beetle was basically a bodykit for a Jetta, and it still took them 4 years to get it into production.
Hmm. Aside from the occasional, excessively-loud diesel truck I don't find the engine to be the problem with late arrivals and departures. Of course, that one truck will always find it necessary to idle for about 20 minutes and perhaps perform a 63-point turn rather than just continuing down the loop to a suitable campsite.

More often for me, it's the modern headlights giving us x-ray vision through the tent walls, followed by all the LED flashlights and headlamps lighting up four adjacent campsites like Cape Caneveral. It's the excitable new arrivals, talking really loud and starting their drinking party at midnight after the rest of the campground has already gone to sleep. It's the repeated slamming of car doors every 15 seconds. It's that one person who keeps setting off his own car's alarm for some reason, and all the others who have their car set to beep or chirp at about 90 decibels every time they look at it...
I have to think the authors of articles selling the same point are participants in an activist cabal, because they keep pushing this narrative as if it is the dominant perspective and has momentum. But it's not the dominant perspective and doesn't have momentum. And except for the outrage machine of Twitter/Vox[Recode]/Atlantic/Gizmodo/etc. trying to stand up a positive feedback loop around this issue, we would probably have moved on. The number of participants in these efforts are so small and unrepresentative, to a point where it is not material and these companies should not change their direction. Based on what I've heard, Microsoft and Amazon have triple-digit participants at best. Google is where this vocal minority is most present, and they're just in the low four-digit range (~3K per this article, out of ~100K employees).

There are FAR more employees who either do not share these same views or are OK with the company pursuing its own agenda independent of their personal political views. For example with workers not willing to build image recognition algorithms that assist/augment the capabilities of joystick-drone-operators, I bet there are a much larger number that are totally willing to work on it, and they are signaling that by not participating in the protest even when it is socially/professionally safe to do so.

As for the others - they're just not screaming about it due to the intolerance exhibited by far-left progressives at these companies, especially with all the purposeful/malicious leaking. And as a left progressive, I think that sort of behavior must be stopped and not tolerated.
...not really. It's pretty hard to jump to a completely different career when you are 30-35, I'd presume it's the same in US too.

Though people here are quick to jump to a managerial position since it's less stressful and the pay is more.
You're suggesting that parents are some kind of limited special-interest class, as if we're snowboarders asking for powder leave, rather than the overwhelming majority of people. The question of how we treat parents is really a question of how we all want to treat each other -- whether we want to give people support when their children are born, or whether we would prefer to force them to choose between work and family. Furthermore, since this is a discussion about paternity in particular, speaking out against paternity leave is speaking out against women working outside the home. I regard this as a very regressive position and unjust to women.

You aren't going to be able to build a super-fast CPU on an FPGA but there are plenty of other tasks you could give it. You can build a processor for analyze multiple sensors, looking for specific events that you could then feed to the uC or setup a DSP pipeline to filter the sensor data to look for patterns. The nice thing about an FPGA is that there is no interruption when it's running. The uC might be trying to feed data over wifi to the controller station and polling sensors/analyzing sensor data is going to bog things down really quick. Another task for an FPGA would be to act as a switch for a network within the robot. It would sit between all of the sensors/actuators and an ethernet-enabled uC located elsewhere in the robot. The FPGA would read command packets from the uC and translate tasks like "read temperature sensor #5" or "turn 15 degrees" into specific impulses on the pins while also turning sensor and feedback data into packets to send back to the uC. You could even run video feeds from cameras back to the uC over gigabit if the FPGA supports it. This way you can run a cheap, small uC to control things from a higher level while the i/o-plentiful FPGA does all the heavy lifting at 100Mb/s speeds.
Agreed it would be really hard. I do want to underscore I'm interested in the question. And I don't know which way I expect it to go.

My personal hunch is that lisp was just too expensive when most industry took off. In near every way. C compilers being basically free is a ridiculous advantage. Yes, there are free lisp implementations today. However, early mover advantage is working against them, now.
Teachers are moonlighting by selling lesson plans online to make ends meet. Some of them use Instagram to promote. This isn’t new, the trend has been growing for years. Here’s a 2009 NYT article discussing it - https://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/15/education/15plans.html

This is significantly different than your average instagram influencer who generates revenue by finding advertisers and convincing them to pay based on reach.
Same experience here. RT-AC68U flashed with AsusWRT Merlin works great, and I'm using a lot of things: VPN, DNS filters, DNS per mac adddress, etc.
To be honest it sounds like you probably shouldn't. There is a risk to researching "the best" technology, it can be a full time job and you still wouldn't get any closer to your goal. You are likely to have a lot of low hanging fruit in a legacy systems shop. Start with those and move yourself forward from there.

Without any specific knowledge of your situation it's hard to be anything but generic advice. But first you need eyes and ears. Under no circumstances should customers know of problems before you do. Are you monitoring the right things?

If there is a product, take a long hard look at the build process. When those mostly work without that special someone that always does them because no one else can, start mapping out all the infrastructure, document it and place it under version control. Implement a configuration management system. No exceptions.

With repeatable builds and repeatable infrastructure you are in a much better place to see what your real requirements are.
much younger, by comparison, but my favorite "early checksum" example is the Torah.

Since every glyph in hebrew has a numerical value, the sum of all rows and the sum of all columns of a page can be computed. When making a copy, if these values don't match the master, that page is cut out and burned. There's been an effectively zero error rate in copies of the Torah for the last ~3,000 years.

Wow. That's some serious cash.
Did you know Verilog or VHDL beforehand? I'm super interested in doing sensor fusion (or even just basic sensoring like a UKF). But it seems so overwhelming (compared to a uC like Arduino or ESP8266), I don't even know where to start. Do you have any tips or tutorials that you recommend?

Thank you for the explanation for APIO! Do you use it often? Or are there alternatives that people use when they get to a certain level (Like Atom/VScode --> vim)?
We use OpsGenie at Sourcegraph. They are great--nice UI, the ability to set rotating on-call schedules, and an API that lets us easily integrate multiple sources of alerts. They were also less expensive by a wide margin than many of their competitors. A great acquisition by Atlassian!
How: Primarily through product advertisements on their accounts.

Why:On the order of a few thousand a year for a big account, why is that surprising? It's not a career, even for most of the people making money off of the platform. It's more on the order of youtube videos. Yeah, a few people might make a living from it, but that's a vanishingly small percentage of the people pulling in some sort of income from it.
Yes, and so are "rockstars". The thing is that not everyone who plays a guitar is a rockstar and not everyone who posts on instagram is an influencer. For the large majority there is no money to be had, but for few lucky individuals you can make a decent bug doing it. Though if you are planning on switching carriers I'd bet on rockstar over Instagram influencer.
