I'm not sure if I'm for or against flattening the hierarchy, but here are a couple of points:

- Currently, the tabs at the the top level are github-related, and those at the second level are git-related. There is a certain sensibility to this.

- Zenhub, which adds a kanban board powered by github issues, adds a tab at the top level, which makes sense according to the above hierarchy. Of course, a third-party browser extension shouldn't be a primary concern if github thinks about redesigning the page.
On the other hand I have seen a guide from a Swedish university library with a "the dark side" section recommending Scihub, #icanhazpdf and /r/scholar. The contract between Elsevier and pretty much all Swedish universities was canceled a year ago and they seem to be fine.
Incrementing on parenthesis and decrementing on closing parenthesis is trivial. You can surely agree that it's more of an ahah moment to get there, than a long reasoning that may or may not have lead to it.

What do you do if the candidate cannot come up with the solution in 10 minutes? I've been there and find it embarrassing. It doesn't indicate aptitude or lack of aptitude.

I find that system design, performance optimization or sometimes code review have the great advantage of being progressive. The candidate can go in multiple directions. The interviewer has the opportunity to lead to find strengths and match with experiences on the resume, while it's also possible to assist or to pull away from any particular aspect.

For coding questions, either stay on simple problems with straightforward solutions, could be as stupid as printing numbers from one to ten, to test the ability to actually write code. Or a progressive exercise that must have both trivial solutions and optimized solutions and then can be integrated into a bigger function.

In Canada, after tax, the most basic model with no options is almost $60,000 CAD. With all wheel drive, sport wheels, and no other options (no autopilot options at all) it is basically $78,000 CAD after tax. I can get a LOT of car for that price elsewhere. Yikes.
Oh, I can assure you that this particular university is dead serious about SciHub use being undesirable. The course I mentioned dedicates significant space to respecting copyright, not only as something expected of researchers, but as a moral duty.

Also, inter-library loan is a source of income for the university library, that is, if the library does not have access to a particular journal in the databases it subscribes to, then it will obtain the journal article from elsewhere but at a hefty fee, so perhaps this is another reason they would prefer students avoid SciHub.
It's amusing to me for the history repeating itself, quite probably intentionally - not a problem.
Indeed, this article also could have been titled "Apple obeys the law of countries that it does business in", but it wouldn't have been as attention getting.

I am not sure if I understood what you meant, but they are not implying that you should buy first and then drive.

The policy is about giving more time to return the car if the customer didn't do a test drive before.

At Model 3's early days, a lot of people bought the car without having the option to take one out for a test drive.
Polar is better for managing reading vs managing citations.

I'm still trying to figure out if Polar should implement citation management or focus on managing reading of existing material.
They do some BS about how much gas you will save and say that makes the car cheaper. It seems incredibly dishonest to me unless they actually let me customize that value for my current car and travel habits, as well as factoring aspects of the Model 3 that can be more expensive (e.g. maintenance)
The maintenance costs definitely are cheaper than an ICE, in my experience. (Insurance and taxes, however, have been higher.)

What a convenient non-argument. Would you term Pakistan's willful hiding of Osama Bin Laden [1] as state policy, or attribute it to non-state actors? Now, imagine if Pakistan neighbored the US, and not only hid, but provided financial, logistical and strategic support to a million Osamas, who constantly kill Americans. And on top of that, imagine Pakistan bestowing a "freedom-fighter" label on Osama. Would you consider that an act of the state, in aggregate?

> I would love to get all these "Performance First! Its so easy" engineers in a room for a week.

Except that's not the argument in the comment you're reacting to. Here's what the comment actually said:

> Anyone with a reasonable amount of experience is often able to look ahead - well before any code is written - and see how performance could be better if road A is taken instead of road B.

In other words, some optimizations come with no significant cost. As a banal, perhaps exaggerated example, if you're writing code that needs to store data in a collection and you know that it's going to perform random access to that data on a regular basis, you're not likely to pick a linked list over some kind of array.

What @abraae is criticizing is the practice of asserting "best practices" that are likely to be taken out of context, widely propagated and misinterpreted.

Knuth's famous assertion "premature optimization is the root of all evil" is an excellent example. People love quoting it, but few seem to take into account the context, to the point that it has been largely forgotten. Here's the quote in its context:

Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered. We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%.

To be clear, it's not Knuth's fault that people are taking his very rational and sensible advice and reducing it to "yeah, you should totally disregard performance when first writing your code". This is not about pointing fingers and assigning blame, it's about being responsible when offering advice. Knuth's advice was reasonable and nuanced, and it still got taken out of context and reduced to something different and arguably harmful. Now look at Gabriel's advice, which is arguably a lot easier to take out of its context and misinterpret, and imagine the consequences it could have.

That is what @abraae is reacting to.

EDIT: There's another thing that really, really bothers me about your reply:

> Rule #1 of any business: Sales cures all.

This, right here, is what I personally feel is wrong with software nowadays. It's how we end up with poorly written, bloated, bug-ridden, unstable, unreliable, insecure crap that we end up using anyway, because there's no better alternative.

>and they can even be communicated through, for instance, threats and pornography.

But censoring one particular medium is not censoring the idea. So your attempt at finding a contradiction doesn't hold water.

>What differentiates the free speech content of child pornography from other pornography, or even art which required harm in its creation?

Consent.

>since it would mean that we can censor whatever ideas we like in any major category

This doesn't follow from my argument that censoring one particular medium is OK. Child porn is a genuine special case (direct harm in its production, lack of consent in dissemination) that doesn't transfer to other mediums that don't have the same problems.
The offical website Model S price built in a deduction for an estimate of billable income you could make by working instead of waiting next to your car while you fill the gas tank.
I haven't owned an EV, so it sounds like you would know better than I would. It was my understanding that (1) liability coverage is cheaper for Teslas but comp/collision is substantially more expensive due to the high cost of replacement parts, and (2) maintenance/repairs for Teslas are infrequent but any repairs involving the battery are extremely costly.
Thinking about it as 'crappy code' is the wrong way to think about it. It's average code. Everything is normally distributed, including the quality of code. On average code quality is average. Some of it at the top tail end of the distribution is beautiful and some of it at the bottom end is an unworkable trash fire.

That hasn't change in the last few decades and it won't change in the next few decades either.
I think at this point only a subset of Teslas are still eligible for the carpool sticker

And you'll still get that from non-children related videos. No one is taking anything away from those.

Unless I'm mistake, may I ask why you'd be interested in comments specifically for children videos?
no I wouldn't
Those things are all analyzed in these overall ownership models. That's the whole point the those things.

And of course you have to include full cost, ICE can not run without it, and most people want to drive their car.

Of course these are avg numbers and you have to do it with your personal driving numbers and how long you want to keep the car to get a more detailed picture of the cost.

However overall, pretty much all EV have a significant large part of up front cost to ownership cost so its totally fair to point that out.

That said, Tesla is of course a company and they are pressing this point to aggressive and that is irritating to many of us. The overall point they are making however, is backed up by the data.
Guys, perhaps, we should to give such examples a context.

I lived/studied in Boston, MA number of years, and I used to meet up with my childhood friend who immigrated from Georgia roughly 8 years ago at his late teen years. He graduated from a very prestigious business school, and has a decent job but after the day was over he used to do some extra stuff, like driving someone from place to place, some screw driving job (I don't exactly know). It seemed crazy to me, I asked numerous times what are you doing dude? His response was extra $ is not a bad thing.

It might sound a bit bold and too generalized, no offense, I'm up for conversation - in the US people forgot what it means to rest properly.

Roughly a year ago, I was visiting my good friend in Germany, who immigrated 15 years ago. He was encouraged by another friend who lived in California to move to the US. We sat down and make a list of comparisons. Just to name a few:

Germany:
1. Workers Union protects employees. Pays a salary (70%+ of it) for 6 months if one looses a job. Also, a simple cold is good enough reason to take a week long leave and you're encouraged to do so.
- US? no bro, you're on your own. It's a god damn pressure that makes people work unworkable hours and being in the endless state of anxiety.

2. Car insurance - he drives a new BMW and pays ~ 350 USD per year. We quoted the minimal package for insurance in MA for the same car, guess the number? 10fold: 3000 USD per year.

3. Education? - Free.
US: 70$K per year.

4. Cost of food. Well, Germany is "notorious" even in EU for grocery affordability.

5. And Beer? German Hefeweizen 60 cents. Samuel Adams? no thank you. (half joking)

I did eventually left the US, although data science/engineering is the dream job generate money, but quality of life is no less important than the number of 0s at the end of bank acc. balance.
Maybe so. I guess that I'll find out.
AND there's a limited number given out every year -- you're not guaranteed one.
I really thought this article would make the readme much more prominent.
HEY THATS MY FRIEND!! But seriously innovative idea and solid execution, even nontechnical people can appreciate
Most of the ideas are good, especially the size reduction of the header.

Some thoughts:

1. I like seeing when something in a folder has been modified, and be able to spot easily what folders are active and the ones that have not been touched for years. I agree the last commit message is useless.

2. The file and directory list is currently displayed the same on the main project page and when navigating inside sub-directories. How should the sub-directories be displayed with these modifications?
I really hope they never do that. Purchasing a Tesla 100% online was the best experience I ever had with a car company.

No sales gimmicks, no false advertisement, no BS back and forth, no wasted time, etc. That alone would be reason enough for me to buy even a Toyota from them.
Is it possible that the setpoint on your old water heater was higher than the new one, so that you used less litres of heated water for the same shower (since it mixed in more cold water)?
No. I hate it. Especially the part when you're changing a design just because it's 'dated'. The two-level hierarchy split makes perfect sense for git metadata vs github repo metadata. It might not be sexy, but it makes technical sense.

It works. Millions of people are used to it. There's other things to fix (like code review). Stop fucking around with things for no good reason.
At the moment I think that's unlikely because as far as I know web assembly can't access the DOM. Once that's fixed, C++ and Rust and a few other platforms will be a lot more viable. I'm not sure how popular it will get, though. For example, GWT gives you a pretty complete Java implementation that compiles to JS (I even use it on a project!). Even as popular as Java is, GWT is not so popular. My experience with GWT has been that it's pretty awkward to use. I can't think of a single thing that's easier to do than in native JS. Personally, I think Typescript is probably a better fit for frontend work for people who want types. Disclaimer: I'm an old school C++ programmer that actually likes writing JS ;-) Where I see web assembly being more compelling is where you want to write native apps and port them to a web or mobile platform. JS applications on the desktop require a pretty massive runtime system and if that's your main goal, JS is not really a great option (IMHO).
No, water and coffee.

Do you have a specific point? Or just picking a nit?

There are vastly different ways in which the flow of communication between people or groups of people can be impacted, and the differences between these ways can be very important. Because of this, sweeping generalizations don't seem very helpful.

Just a mortgage. No other debt.
Except you’re implying that they are doing better in the first place...

Look, I’m pretty much an obsessive workaholic myself (getting better now that we’ve got kids) and I was making about 5x of what my wife was making when I met her. She’s got a 4 year degree from a nice private university and I went to state university.

She is absolutely every bit as smart and hard working as I am, but she never wanted a career in an office.

In our first few years together I helped her with her resume, suggested all the work she was doing would absolutely qualify her for making at least twice as much as she was making and she just didn’t want to play the game. She wanted to be a mom, and didn’t even want to play the game until motherhood showed up.

If she did what I do every day (at now almost 20x what she was making when I met her) she’d jump out a window.

Conversely I wouldn’t take double the pay I’m making to stay home with the kids, I love ‘em, but jeez- I don’t know how my wife does it.

She would definitely not consider herself doing better if we swapped places. And I think that’s the key. Man or woman, some people just don’t have the same goals, and running a company and making lots of money don’t necessarily play any part in what they aspire to do.
Before, you didn't know about their meeting sleading (I'd call it lying) claims about autopilot?

Where they show a video about full autonomous driving, talk a lot about full autonomous driving and then at the very bottom of the page write in very small print that "some jurisdictions" may not allow that at this time? Where "some" means probably "every one except lawless states like Somalia or so".
...or rather since we had so much of it. The Dutch government is, after all, making noises about the country going 'off the gas' to become 'gas-free' around 2050. As to whether this really will happen and what it actually will entail - are they going to tell industry to stop using gas as well? - remains to be seen but heat pumps are being pushed as one of the alternatives to gas. Given that nearly all central heating in the Netherlands is water-borne and most systems are designed for a high working temperature - between 70 and 90 degrees - the switch to a heat pump will need more than just a simple swap of the prime heater. Low-temperature (possibly fan-assisted) convectors can be used to replace high-temperature radiators, these can also be used to cool down the house in summer. More insulation is needed in most Dutch houses, even newly built houses sometimes don't have more than 10 cm of foam insulation in the roof and less in the walls.
Not really if I have no idea what I’m buying?
A used Tesla. While it was indeed a nightmare that I hope Tesla figures out a way to solve, it's not quite the same as if he bought a new vehicle.
I guess this is a case where it’s fortunate that Tesla is almost always late.

If those features ship before 11:59PM Pacific time on December 31st, I’ll be surprised.

The accessibility and availability of screens to glue childrens faces to is totally novel and modern. There used to only be "saturday morning cartoons" because the singular TV in the house was dedicated to content the entire family of all ages could watch the rest of the day. Even at the height of wanton kids "advertising" tv (shows in the 80s like TMNT / He-man / Transformers that were just 30 minute ads for toys) the design of the product was never to totally subsume the child at all hours in the product.

We are seeing substantially more children coming of age now without any social skills or ability to interact with people because they spent all their time glued to screens. They are highly addictive, conditioned to consume, and emotionally stunted. Zombies by any other name, programmed by smart minds through operant conditioning to crave gambling dopamine releases from insanity like loot boxes.

Wish they'd just let you rent cars instead. A test drive is too short. And a 7 day period is too big a commitment.

Why not let me pay to rent a car, like a normal rental car place, and pay per day.

Would be cool to do anyway, but I bet a lot of people would end up falling in love with the car that way and become owners shortly after.
Providing more context would make it more clear for non-Canadians: CAD is 0.76 USD, so "almost 60,000 CAD" is almost $45,600, depending on how much "almost" is.

For even more context, it is ~ 62,000 EURO in Germany, that is "almost" $70,000. I would choose Canada instead :)

What’s immersive about having a bunch of dials and gauges in front of you?
Solely on the fact that they present an imagined "cost of ownership" as the price, yes.

It's deceptive enough--and 90% of people who saw that page would say that the costs of the cars are what's listed on the right column, which makes it deceptive--that it leaves a wildly unpleasant taste in my mouth. And, in my case, it's not even close to accurate: I don't own a car right now, and any purchase would be because I actively like a particular car. The "savings on gas" is a total lie, because I'll be spending nothing on gas anyway.
