Yup, Audi offers similar driver assists with lane changes(https://www.audi-mediacenter.com/en/technology-lexicon-7180/...), Land Rover has lane keeping (https://www.landrover.com/ownership/incontrol/driver-assista...), so do Honda/Acura (https://www.acura.com/rlx/modals/lane-keeping-assist-system-...) and many more.

I agree that Tesla overhypes their system the most and that contributes to consumer confusion. They use the classic Silicon Valley tactic of making their features which are comparable to competitors seem light years ahead through marketing. On one hand, it sucks for consumers, on the other hand, this type of advertising is rampant and they are playing the game.

Tesla’s over promising does erode trust. There’s only so many times you can promise stuff that’s obviously overhyped or years out (FSD) before consumers will stop believing the hype.

What’s interesting about Tesla is that almost all of their controversy is self inflicted by Elon’s comments.

What’s not clear to me is if this is intentional as he wants to stay in the news cycle or if it’s driven by his ego.
My country apparently doesn't outlaw possession of a flame thrower. Not sure if it would be helpful in the case of civilizational collapse, though.
yeah it's not raising my eyebrows but I was trying to give the data to explain why an established and somewhat profitable company (like redhat) would sell to a player like IBM. It's just a lot of money to turn down!
I am sure there are people that expect that, but they are wrong to do so!
I'm going to post this elsewhere in the thread, but a comment on Metafilter from someone who survived the siege of Sarajevo: https://www.metafilter.com/78669/What-if-things-just-keep-ge...

"Guns and weapons helped no one directly and were even of little to no use in the defense of Sarajevo, since they were toys compared to the shells, bombs and high-powered armaments of the attacking forces."
Yeah, removing a "like" button will really improve the "communicate-by-fortune-cookie" quality of academic discourse on Twitter.

I'm not a huge fan of Twitter, so I'll admit bias, but 140/280 characters really isn't enough to construct a proper argument, but it's the exact space to come up with some some witty truism. I seriously doubt that the "likes" were the problem.
Which ones? There was quite some improvement since the release; also you need to consider that some particular types of software don't work well yet (some games related to XNA/.NET, anti-cheats, DRMs with other stores being a big offender)
There is a substantial amount of evidence that the most effective product teams are cross-functional, and in parallel, the most effective product engineers are cross-functional.

This idea doesn't necessarily hold up when you get into very deep topics like data science, db admin, cloud administration, server admin, etc. But it absolutely holds up for product development, and nearly all frontend, backend, and "modern devops" should actually be called by its real name: full stack development, or my preferred term, Product Engineering.

I view every single product-focused engineer we hire as "full stack with a focus". The job titles might say things like "frontend engineer" for SEO, but the descriptions are clear: you're going to mostly be working on frontend and we expect competency in that, but you might be asked to reach into other parts of the codebase, or at least have opinions on how things are designed there. You'll be asked to participate in product planning and design. Everyone is general, but you do have a focus which represents 80% of your work.

I know coding schools would love to just teach someone React and then the bare minimum of a NodeJS backend to check a box then say they're competent. Bad news: I've worked with a dozen coding school grads over my career, as well as a dozen people who classified themselves as "backend engineers". None of them were even playing the same game as the people who took the extra time to expose themselves to the entire spectrum of technology a modern product might use. Mind you, many of these fullstack people were CS grads, many others were just people with no formal training. Formal training only matters if you limit yourself by how you've been trained, and then it matters in a negative sense.
> ostracizing these people is not equivalent to eliminating hate

Eliminating hate is impossible, so that's not the goal.

It is possible to reduce the percentage of people who are consumed by attacking others with words, memes, threats and violence.

Isolating them reduces their reach and reduces their reproduction rate so that their numbers decrease.

Ostracizing works.
That’s the thing though, it doesn’t matter how much stuff you have, without a way to keep it you won’t keep it.

In a without rule of law scenario there is no one coming to help, say to protect you from someone bigger stronger faster or more clever than you that did not have a prepper foresight.

Que the famous Samuel Colt quote, right?
It really isn't. You can't use Steam or GOG, you have to pay to play online, the hardware is much lower end than what you can buy for a desktop, they have advertising all over the place, everything has DRM, and it's still another box.
Hi there. The reality is this was totally predictable. In the beginning things were simple. UI/UX is focused on creating the prototype and actual implementation was done by front-end programmers. But nobody likes to pay extra, so why not make designers code? Yes, i am one of those designers, old enough to remember frustration with tables and inline css. So if you asking your self why there are no more websites that are beautiful and usable? This is your answer: Is very rare someone with artistic abilities to have "programmers mind". Is enough frustration to deal with browser layout to expect someone to do full stack front-end dev. In the end you have mediocre designers (without basic understanding of color theory or typography) that are mediocre programmers (using all the cool JS tech, without CS basic understanding), so websites have interactive technology with design interaction from 2005:)

Isn’t an effective means of defense for yourself and your family a high priority in most scenarios?
The most overlooked idea is that the long game can be fun too. Think of it this way: you either play the short game every day and have fun... or you invest a small number of days into learning to have fun from the long game. Then playing it every day will give you just as much fun and make you better off. The initial investment is much smaller than you think, e.g. a month after starting strength training at age 28 I was hooked on it and haven't stopped in 7 years.

Well, my 3 weeks of food were not aimed at this "End of world as we know it" scenario and original question was not aimed at one. Just at being better prepared than average.

Guns really are also not "get and forget" kind of think. They can help or get you killed.

They might get you killed by mismanaging them (basically you shoot yourself by accident), by making you overconfident and not escaping in time, by making you a target "to get your guns", by making you suspicious (imagine checkpoints in now occupied parts of Ukraine) and getting killed in interrogation.

Guns are not all advantages in real world situation.

And somehow the actual drugs being used are not mentioned. I get the concept is to identify pathways and then find similar pathways in humans, but still...
But also, just because some people don't believe in guns, doesn't mean we should avoid mentioning it. Defense is still an important part of preparation, and guns are the best tools to accomplish that. If someone wants to reject that form of defense on philosophical grounds, they're welcome to, but it's still worth mentioning them as resources for people who may not have such fixed philosophies.
>Code reviews help maintain sanity in the code base

But why delay the shipment of features/fixes to the customer for any of these reasons?

If code quality and human understanding is the actual rationale, it could make more sense to review code after it has shipped. In that way, it would cease to be a bottleneck for the developers or customers. Additionally, any bugs that appear in production could be accounted for during the refactoring process.

Saying that there is value to a practice is the easy part. We're forgetting to ask when to code review and whether or not code review should ever be a blocker to other processes.
"'It secures HTTP requests and responses' wasn't deemed a sufficient answer when asked what an SSL certificate was in a technical interview for a front-end role."

Goodbye Gab, a Haven for the Far Right
Surely there's some sort of caveat to this. I am very skeptical of such a service. If I need to keep a domain renewed I pay for a 'rollover renewal' for 10 years. When that 10 years expires, I just renew for another 10 years.
Speaking as someone who studied music academically for a while, I imagine they left it out because it's pretty unremarkable despite it's popularity. Debussy was actually reticent to publish Suite Bergamasque (which contains Clair de Lune) as it was from is "immature period" (his words not mine.) The suite was published 15 years after its initial composition.

In terms of its importance to the literature as a whole, despite being beautiful music (I'm really not trying to discount that the music is beautiful) Suite Bergamasque still represents an extension of the Romantic style. It's not nearly as groundbreaking as the Preludes/Images/Estampes which are a serious departure from all of the music that came before. Art was never the same after Picasso tore down the establishment. Ditto music and Debussy.
There has to be a better mental model than a game to represent the benefits of long term thinking / delayed gratification. For me, I look at as nudging my timeline by a minute fraction of a degree each time I do something that feels unnatural / like a chore, but that I know is beneficial in the long run. Hundreds of such small adjustments over the years result in major course corrections...

I'm sure other mental models are possible.

Edit: Forgot another point: the further away in space/time an effect of your actions is, the weaker its emotional response in you. You can motivate yourself to act by finding strategies to amplify that response. To me, it is what sets us apart from animals, who operate mostly in the here-and-now.
I'm not sure this is a trend, more like a peculiar anomaly.
Such a fascinating story. I’ll take the privilege of being the first one to add this comment to the thread: this is where the Mechanical Turk service gets its name.
> Let's face it. None of us are running unix or MacOS for the sake of gaming. If you want to run a desktop OS for gaming, there is one.

True, not primarily for gaming. But there's more than Windows, and Linux is becoming increasingly viable for exactly the target of people who are tech savvy and play games but are not primarily gamers, a group which includes me. I seldom play AAA games -- but when I do, many of those work on Linux without emulators, such as Shadow of Mordor or Mad Max -- and many others work on Wine (e.g. Space Marine), but the bulk of what I play are indie games, which either run natively on Linux or are very easy to get working on an emulator. I understand if they are not your thing, but to me indie games is where it's at -- the latest and greatest 3D games bore me to tears, while something refreshing like Return of the Obra Dinn makes me renew my love of games.

So yes, Linux is a valid gaming OS for a non-gamer like me, who actually plays many non-AAA games :)

And I'll never buy Windows just for gaming, if I can help it.

@cyphar - I would love to chat with you about SUSE's policies and encouragement to enable working exclusively on upstream-first. We are working to bake that concept into our policies at WSO2 (I'm its CEO). While we practice that in motion, we are codifying it within policies. If you could email me tyler@wso2.com, would appreciate a chat about it with your or management there.
Hard to represent certain ideas in a cheat sheet.

One thing I saw was showing how on a button click you can pass an object as an argument. I’ve personally trended away from that pattern and towards always avoiding method calls with arguments in template code. This means creating a sub component which takes in the object in question.

One ends up with a lot more components, but code is really well isolated and it’s incredibly easy to reason about what’s happening.
Why does anyone care about this? I know steam cares cause this would finally let them market a console with thier name on it. Then they could ship a proprietary closed source product built on Linux.
I don't understand why this is so profound. I knew Euler's formula was a trig formula simply by looking at it. I don't know why there needs to be this complex explanation of where it came from where its obvious that it comes from trig and the concept of a unit circle.

The problem is that reliance on intuition doesn't prove anything and its very deceptive. You end up having to store several cases of explanations instead of deriving one through a proof.

For example, one would intuitively think dropping a heavy object and a light object would conclude with the heavy object hitting the ground first which is not the case. This is just one example.

I'd much rather derive things the traditional way and not be duped by "intuitive" explanations. Because ones intuition is often different from natures.
It's worth nting that the exemplar of the prorietary shrinkwrap consumer softare market is also a one-off: Microssoft.

There is no other pure-play software company of comparable market success.

The consumer personal-computing operating system market resisted incursions by CPM, other DOS vendors, other GUI alternatives, x86 commercial unices, Linux, FreeeBSD (and others), and BeOS. Apple's share remains a scant fraction.

Likewise, the Office applications, and small-business server market remains dominated by Microsoft, especially file, print, mail, and directory services (AD).

Contenders in the software space tend to be small, heavily reliant on professional services (IBM, Oracle, Salesforce, consulting firms), specialised (Adobe, AutoDesk)<, or hardware-integrated (Apple, also Sun/Oracle and some others).

The SaaS market has impinged somewhat; Gmail, Google Docs, etc., but still only marginally.

This from someone whose watched and criticised Microsoft for decades, and strongly prefers Linux. I've not had a Microsoft desktop personally or professsionally since the mid-2000s, and even then it was under protest and largely avoided.

>I find myself more often just biting the bullet and re-buying some old classics when they get "Enhanced" editions

People have to do real work to produce newer versions of software, often this work is quite extensive (newer graphics APIs, resolutions, art assets, etc.) If it wasn't a viable enterprise this work wouldn't get done. It's not reasonable to expect perpetual free upgrades.
I too would be interested in this. The drugs mentioned are specific to worms. What would work in humans, without negative side effects?

There must be a forum out there with scientists and biohackers that document their findings and process without fear of legal fallout. Maybe there is a Tor hidden site?
Modding on linux is a little finicky. For all Beamdog's edition, I wrote a script[1] that would symlink datafiles as a lowercase version everywhere (unless they were already lowercase). After this, all WeidU mods were working okay (at least for BG I&II). I have P:TEE but never modded it however, but the process should be relatively similar.

Make it multiple choice not free text. Limit to a few basic reasons. Make that thing pop up for every downvote and watch downvotes reduce over time. Also, maybe assign weights to how often one downvotes. So say you are someone who disagrees often, your downvotes become less and less potent the longer you are in session.
>> dual boot is not convenient.

Dual booting isn't just inconvenient. It is buggy and randomly unreliable. It is an ILoveLucy farce where a line has been drawn down the middle of the apartment and each side is supposed to share the TV. I really get angry when I see sob stories about linux from people whose only experience is a failed attempt to dual boot a dell laptop.

If you want to use both go with a VM, preferably a windows VM running within a linux box.
It works in what way? If I follow now you have the general populace with less hate and the group of ostracized - which are still members of the society - which probably hate more.

I guess I could see ostracism working if you removed them from society and kept them separate. Which doesn't work with the internet well.
> In the grander scheme of things, it can be seen as an anti-solution.

Every person who has adequate preparations for themselves and their family is a person who who's allowing societal resources to go to someone else in greater need. It's one less person standing in line for water and food after a disaster.

Far from an anti-solution, it provides distributed herd immunity.

I see no vote data on amendments 89 and 90 that proposed removal of articles 11 and 13 respectively.

Even this vote on the whole law is hard to find. Personally, I couldn't find it if you didn't post it here.
Your argument is mistaken on both counts. The smear and de-platform campaign began when Gab reported the details and profile of the synagogue murderer to law enforcement, providing them with "concrete evidence for a motive that they can use in a case to seek justice against this awful monster."

As for the 'people and organizations attempting to shut Gab down, or and/or be critical of them', they are 'assuredly not doing so' on the grounds Gab hosted violent anti-Semitic and extremist material. Otherwise they would express equal outrage at the violent anti-Semitic tweets from Louis Farrakhan, one example among many, who uses the exact same rhetoric as the Pittsburgh shooter. The 'mail bomber' Cesar Sayoc Jr. also made numerous violent threats on twitter. In neither case are there calls to shut Twitter down.
This post is (2014), but I still stand by it today. I still do a lot of this kind of thing. Happy to answer questions, as always.

No there are a lot of us.
I've been using GPU passthrough for Windows gaming on and off for a while now.

I think it's fundamentally a better solution. edit: (for desktops).

Why is it better than dual booting? Well, it's faster, and you can use whatever backing store you like (e.g. ZFS volumes for snapshots, LUKS encryption, ...), run services in the background, etc.

Why is it better than WINE? Far more compatible. Setting it up can be a hassle, but once you get it working it's (as far as I can tell) identical to a native boot. Better sandboxing (VM's aren't perfect and GPU passthrough likely introduces more holes, but that's better than running proprietary code on your main system).

That said, it's a power user thing and probably always will be. But then, isn't that the PC gaming market anyway?
It means persistent, tireless. It saves space and conveys more meaning than just tireless.

I like it. I think it's a well-chosen word.
Starting out with preparing for the the more likely scenarios is definitely easier (and most likely more effective) than preparing for Illumunati death squads chasing survivors amongst the zombie hordes in a nuclear wasteland.

Personally, I find it very likely that there will be some kind of short-term (less than 30 days) disruption here, within the next ten years. I live on the countryside and in the north so it's really just a matter of time before the climate changes screws up the weather to such an extent that we get snowed in. Likewise, it's not really that far fetched to expect an extended power outage or flooding.

Medium to long-term disruptions are much less likely (although still possible), but in those cases it's much more important to make sure one's local community can co-operate to make sure actual food production and maintenance of critical infrastructure is handled.

Once that part is handled, prepping for nuclear war, uprisings, alien invasions, zombie apocalypses and so on will be easier (as the basics are covered) and quite a fun hobby. It will also be useful as it will keep skills, that would otherwise be lost to time, alive and well.
exciting! between this and that blood-from-young-people therapy that was on here not so long ago, it seems we can expect older and older people to be productive in the future :) I realize I'm selling my own pension here, but I think it's a good thing. perhaps I can have shorter work-weeks after 60 or something?
