I agree that cycling in Boston is absolutely terrifying; I tried it for a few weeks and then gave up. Literally every single cyclist I know has gotten into at least one serious accident over the last 5 years in the city. While it is true that separated bike lanes would solve a lot of the alternative commuting problems in Boston, the problem is we simply don't have enough room for them across large swaths of the city and Cambridge / Somerville . I would suspect that the only way we could reasonably achieve separation across most of the city / outlying cities is if we totally banned on street parking which is a nonstarter to a majority of residents and commuters.
Too many people get hung up on the perfect scalable tech stack. Most people don't need to waste more time watching another tech talk. What they need is more business skills and how to make money.
No need to be offended. It's probably just ignorance of the difficulty (in the nicest use of the word), as well as a desire to be feel included as their peers begin families. There is obviously no comparison.

Compared to the iPhone XS, the iPhone SE:

- Costs $650 less
- Does everything I need it to
- Does it one-handed

I'm sure the new camera and OLED screen and everything are very nice but I just don't care enough to spend 3x as much money on fancy phone with a huge screen when I'm already trying to stare at my phone less, not more.

Maybe the goal is to make phones so uncomfortable to use that you won't want to take them out of your pocket.

I want an ergonomical keyboard with quiet action. Ideally it would combine the feel of the old Thinkpad keyboards with the ergonomic layout of an ErgoDox keyboard.

This article is a pretty good summary of the book "Deep Work" for a programmer.
I have an SE, and I like it. The size is nice, I like that it lays flat, I like that it has a headphone jack. Newer models don't have compelling features my SE lacks, and take away things I like. I have no incentive to upgrade, and will likely explore other manufacturers when it eventually wears out.

I have an 11" Macbook Air, and I love it. The size and weight is nice, the keyboard is great, the touchpad is precise, I love that it has MagSafe, and I consider the ability to plug in DisplayPort monitors and my USB-A devices a must-have. Newer laptop models don't have compelling features my Air lacks, and take away things I like. I have no incentive to upgrade, and will definitely explore other manufacturers when it eventually wears out.

It's frustrating when a company makes products that suit your needs well, and then changes its mind. I just don't seem to be in Apple's target market anymore.
>Vim's commands and keybingings interface (not the UI).

I recently decided to finally get good at Vim, but the UI, being text-only, can be charitably described as "awful."

Solution: Sublime Text 3 with the NeoVintageous[1] plugin. Takes a beautiful, highly customizable, extensible editor and adds most of the Vim bindings. I can do all of my main development work in a gorgeous editor, and when I have to hop onto an unfamiliar machine, I'm still good at using Vim.

> if you can use all of the mainframes capability

> cost of mainframe will be comparable to IaaS

I'd be very interested in seeing even a rough cost comparison, since I have no experience with mainframes.

I also have, essentially, no experience with that first "if", which I'd say is a big one. Workloads that are (already) suited to that particular system design may be rare (and obviously getting rarer).

> self-hosted commodity HW being somewhat cheaper.

I'm pretty sure "somewhat" grossly understates it.

However, I realized that one of the problems here is that we're talking about these costs as if they're single numbers, rather than ranges.

For mainframes, it may as well be a single number, because there's only one vendor (for the latest hardware).

For IaaS and self-hosted, the ranges can be very broad, because it's very easy to pay a multiple of the minimum cost with merely a naive implementation. Trivial examples would be not leveraging "reserved instances" on AWS or not getting competitive quotes for self-hosted. In fact, if one removes the "commodity" constraint from self-hosted and allows "enterprise" hardware (especially storage), the top end of the range can easily balloon above the top of the IaaS range.

I've been assuming a comparison of the bottom ends of the ranges, but including the cost of the expert labor for each. What's difficult to know, of course, is how scarce the experts (capable of keeping costs near the bottom of the range) in each category actually are.

> I cannot remember single time when server hardware failed in production without external environmental cause

I think that's just a matter of too small a sample size.

> servers that were DoA from manufacturer

I wouldn't even count that, since it's not in production yet.

> it is somewhat surprising that this experience even extends to spinning rust harddrives

That's definitely too small a sample size, then. If you're not seeing at least a 1% AFR (realistically closer to 3%), you don't have enough of them or haven't been running them long enough yet.

> simply bad series (eg. Constellation ES.2)

That's not an external environmental cause, though, and counts the same as any other failure due to (presumably) a manufacturing defect (defined broadly), including RAM bit errors. It's merely something that can be engineered around with best practices.

None of this is to say that any of these inevitable failures are actually frequent or voluminous enough (even on, e.g., 5 year old hardware, which is ancient by most standards) to require outsized worry or effort/cost to mitigate/repair them.
As a developer the SE is a pain because the screen is so much smaller (especially horizontally) than every other model. Things that fit on other iPhones are big issues on the SE.

This will make life easier in the long run. And I’m guessing this is true for Apple too.

But I get why people loved them. I like the 6 screen size and don’t want to go back, but the SE feels ‘right’ somehow.
Grainger has many things in their favor, here's hoping they can fend off Amazon.

* Better search and organization of inventory

* Mail order discount arm (Zoro)

* Brick and mortar presence as well as the logistics to handle this.

* Clear labeling of certifications and country of origin compared to Amazon's persistent problems with counterfeits and that whole mess with third party sellers.

About the only place I'd expect Amazon to be able to compete is on logistics.
"As it is today I can not buy a phone without having a deep bottomless disdain for it."

I feel the same way, but I don't feel negatively about it.

I have an iPhone and I treat it like a hostile/suspect device and that is working quite well for me.

Apple has no idea who I am - I have never even typed my own name into the phone. Apple doesn't even know my phone number as my "real" phone number is one I control and forward to the burner SIM (straighttalk) that is in the phone.

My actual phone provider (twilio) doesn't know who I am.

Straighttalk doesn't know who I am - they got an assumed name and email address. Same for the very, very few apps that I use.[1]

So unless Apple decides to acquire twilio and whatever verizon MVNO I am using this quarter and my credit card issuer, all they've got is Fakey McFakefake.

None of this was difficult, aside from building my own carrier inside twilio, but that was fun.

[1] Remember: VISA/MC do not verify names on purchases. The user interface strongly suggests that they do, but they do not - if you correctly enter your number/expiry/CVV/zipcode/etc., you can put in any old name you want. There is really no reason for any app to know your real name.
Seems like I'm going to use my SE for a long time. I would have considered upgrading to a SE 2 though.
Like most "hacking" instances in real life this was an exploit of the service desk. He called Tesla support and had the VIN (easily readable through the windshield as required by law) added to his account so he could use the app on his phone to access the car.

This seems like a big security hole, but it puts a giant arrow on the thief that lets them be caught easily. It's a trap for dumb thieves. Basically only good for going for a joyride.

Tesla definitely needs to harden their support desk however, because that's just embarrassingly bad.

Wages have stagnated and organizations are trying to squeeze more work out of each worker. All that while simultaneously reducing the organization's full-time staff or just cut the total amount of employees.

At some point people will snap or breakdown from working two 12 hour shift jobs each day. I'm joking obviously but it seems like that's what people have to work just to barely survive.
I, for one, can never purchase a device that has to take a photo every time I lift it. That’s literally illegal where I’d use it 95% of the time. I also can’t be the only person who doesn’t get much utility out of the selfie cam.

But I definitely like having a phone that fits comfortably in my pocket with my wallet - and that I can use one handed.

Couldn’t they ditch the notch by having the speaker on the edge of the device? I have no problem hearing the speaker with my phone pulled away from my ear.
I work on them during work hours - on my own gear, as I desire, just never in the office. I used to feel bad about it - I don't.

The reality is that in tech, we work all sorts of hours, all over the place, on all sorts of things. Part of the trade off is recognizing that whilst I happily have a rather long work-week, it doesn't mean that I need to ALWAYS give the best hours of the day to the corporation (and it's my corporation).

I also find that it benefits my company. I frequently bring in ideas from the things I've been experimenting with to work. We actually rely on several of them now.

tl;dr it's the time of day that matters a lot more than the environment.

Absolutely nothing, which is why these companies are a flash in the pan. You can sign a contract with them, but it means nothing if someone on the other side of the country is violating it and you have no idea. Also, this is a petty cash business. Even if someone violates the contract, are you going to take them to court over $45? No, you'll just ban them. And the customers who liked that person will leave your service and phone them up privately. These companies die by a thousand cuts.

Some people have this idea that all human processes need to be mirrored in software. This type of gig work is best left to ad-hoc job boards like craigslist or kajiji or facebook marketplace. Why do we continue to try to force this into software?

The only reason I'm not buying a second one right now to keep as a backup is that the SE's small screen eventually will not be worth supporting by my favorite apps. My guess is by this time next year, I'll need a new phone just to be able to use them.

I find it hard to believe us small phone people will be taken care of by Apple ever again.
He's not idealizing the past. Keep reading:

"It is unknown if these radical commandments were ever followed to the letter."

The "Torahic economy" as referenced by the author in this context is clearly the _idea_ of an economy that does follow the ideals of the Torah. The way things played out in reality could more accurately be referenced as the "Hebrew economy" or something like that.

Ah, definitely the suckless suite. Runner ups are probably spectrwm and Vagrant, possibly Ansible.

I absolutely love dmenu, and the suckless philosophy is great. Dmenu ties in great to spectrwm, which is a simple tiling window manager that has sane defaults and just lets me work.

Vagrant makes my life so much easier, likely it's saved me hundreds of hours of my time.

And I find all of the Red Hat documentation to be fairly good where it matters, even if I prefer using Chef over Ansible in complex cases.

No.

Memory-aligned means that instructions can only exist on certain addresses. (It also implies a minimum instruction length.) On most RISC architectures, instructions are also a constant size, with the same alignment. For example, a MIPS instruction stream consists of 4-byte instructions aligned to every fourth byte in memory. Memory alignment and constant instruction size ensure that any given instruction stream can only be executed as itself, or part of itself. Note that this is not self-synchronization - if you removed a byte from an instruction stream, you would get a wildly different instruction stream.

(I said MIPS because ARM instruction streams can be THUMB, which permits a different instruction interpretation for the same stream, and thus defeats the security advantages of memory alignment requirements.)

Self-synchronizing means that each subdivided unit (usually byte) of a stream also indicates if it is the start of a new symbol within that stream. For example, UTF-8 is an example of a self-synchronizing byte stream. In UTF-8, encoded codepoints have variable-length representations. However, the upper bits of each byte clearly indicate not only if the byte is the start of a new codepoint, but how many bytes follow to complete the codepoint. This means that a deleted or altered byte will only delete or alter the symbol it's a part of, and not any other part of the stream.

Self-synchronization and alignment requirements address the same problem - ambiguous instruction streams - by different methods. Memory alignment prohibits you from reinterpreting the stream; while self-synchronization makes doing so less valuable.
My wife is really annoyed at the death of the SE. It's the biggest phone she can hold and use in a single hand while holding stuff in the other, dealing with kids, etc. As the screen is getting water damaged and it's generally becoming flaky with age, she might have to jump ship to Android but she really doesn't want to.

> without ever needing a key

That's disingenuous and the author knows it. Just prior they state that the thief had to call in to Tesla to get authorized.
Clever, but the same case shows the difficulty of getting away with it, even if you are able to steal a Tesla. He was tracked by his use of the supercharging network, which allowed law enforcement to find and arrest him a few days later.

we can have a bus system that runs dynamic routes based on the users that are going to ride it and runs closer to ideally efficient vs. a fixed route that is likely inefficient

This doesn't seem to require driverless busses. I can see an argument of why self driving taxis would be helpful -- cost of labor is near zero -- but with busses, the cost of labor is amortized across passengers.
There are ways they could fit a higher resolution and screen into that form factor. They’re just not interested in breaking their notch trend.

Couldn't the thief pretty easily set up an account and call from a burner phone?
And they were talking about wanting to make devices last longer to use less materials and reduce waste! The solution to that is apparently:

- Use more materials to make larger phones
- Make the phone more difficult to grip securely
- Wrap glass around the edges so it can always land on glass no matter how you drop it
- Move control center so far away that you have to let go of the phone to reach it

Absolutely nothing other than them threatening to remove you from the platform.

Well, yes there is. Many if not most new cars require the ECU to be programmed to accept a new key. That's how typical theft deterrence works today. You must also have possession of all keys to be programmed. You can't just add a key and leave the others in place.

I'm going to weigh in on my opinionated library for logging: [woveon-logger](https://www.npmjs.com/package/woveon-logger) (js). Sorry if that's a no-no, but nobody seems to use my much loved library anyway.

The multiple levels are nice, especially for logging errors in production and tracking general information of your software. But in development, logging is often about tracking a particular aspect in your code. You need something that logs to a particular aspect that you are working on, and then can turn off that aspect once you move on. In the future, you often find yourself back to debug and need to flip that aspect back on again.

Summary: Log levels of info, warn and error all have a place. Logging to aspects is valuable during development, easy to turn off for production and useful when returning to debug.

This is very nice.

If I might add a suggestion, it takes a while to fine the number of the chord. For example, if I'm trying to figure out what 1-4-5-1 would be, I have to hunt until I find the 4 and 5. Would be cool if there was another view that was the Nashville number system in sequence to make it quicker to find.

For example:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

So don't compare it to the XS, compare it to their cheapest phone in the line (which the SE was), the iPhone 7 at $449. The price difference is $50.
I love my SE. I'll probably get an over-sized Android in the future just for web browsing and watching movies, but I'll keep my SE until it breaks for everything else where some measure of security is important (auth keys, emails, communication, etc.), and I'll probably replace it with another SE when it does.
