Possible... that does make sense. It would definitely be smart to use the same parts if they can do it and give both cars good trade offs for the performance / wear. My hunch is though the other upgrades more than meet the $2k difference even when only considering Tesla’s own cost.
How do you figure? I've been financing a car at ~3% interest for the past 4 years. My investments have returned triple that over the same period.
Your post calls to mind this passage from Ishiguro's the Remains of the Day:

"As for myself, I cannot even claim that. You see, I trusted. I trusted his lordship's wisdom. All those years I served him, I trusted I was doing something worthwhile. I can't even say I made my own mistakes. Really--one has to ask oneself--what dignity is there in that?"
Why would anyone want to negotiate individual line items rather than just negotiating on the final bottom-line price? Why would I care if I'm reducing the destination fee or the actual price? What difference does it make to me?

I only have a peripheral knowledge of Twitch, but don’t they have a similar solution to what you’re outlining here? There is a “public” channel, on major streams this is full of spam and nonsense, then a separate channel for subscribers where they can talk amongst each other.

Perhaps a subscriber-only gate to comments would be a good thing. And only subscribers could read the comments, too. Channel owner is tasked with moderating the conversation or recruiting mods to do it, like any chat room or message board. Then, whatever happens in the comments becomes the channel owners responsibility.

This was one of the main reasons I moved from bitbucket to gitlab. I hit my 50 mins in a week and was completely disappointed. After using gitlab for a year I’m really glad I left bitbucket. Gitlab has a great product.

I am not sure about IEEE's institutional prices, but their member prices for journals are quite reasonable. Most academic journals published by Elsevier are beyond the reach of individuals.

Reminds me a bit of "Master Foo and the Ten Thousand Lines"[0], except replacing C code with a bunch of stuff in The Cloud™.

The problem with Taco Bell Programming is that those "ingredients" need to be versatile enough to actually be useful enough to not warrant reinventing their wheels. Unfortunately, that usually translates into complexity, ever-growing manpages, etc. If you're only using 8 ingredients, it's pretty unlikely that any of those ingredients are going to stick to the Unix philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well.

Additionally, at some point the task does end up being complex enough or atypical enough to involve coding for different corner cases and such. The only thing I'd dread more than ten thousand lines of C is ten thousand lines of Bash.

God bless that coder, who probably received nothing compared to the aggravation they saved.
Middlemen help you buy a car from competing dealers. Buying only from Tesla means you can’t negotiate for a better price.
Well there are lots of opportunities for someone with strong software skills in ocean related sciences. Some questions for you to consider are:

- do you want to develop tools or do research?

- do you want a career path with lots of field work and travel or desk jobs?

- do you want to work for a small business or large company?

If you can provide some insight to those questions, I can offer some suggestions to consider.

I work for a small company that has a unique technology with software and hardware components. We work with some huge organizations and have some really interesting projects and customers. I think I’ve seen a lot of aspects of the marine market and I work with commercial, governmental, and scientific sides of the marine market.

A few things I can say in general about the marine industry as it relates to software is I don’t think it is the highest paid career path but I think it has a very
high satisfaction rating. Maybe because there is something about the ocean that draws in certain types of people.
GM's insane decision to give two very different cars names which sound the same when spoken aloud strikes again.

You linked to the Bolt-with-a-b, but said Chevy Volt-with-a-v.

Certainly the Bolt is comparable to the Model 3; the Volt not so much.
Meh this look super busy. I like the top section but the button is used primarily to look through the files. Other two columns aren't worth losing the ability to quickly find files I want to see.
Same as today. If anything, programming was accessible to fewer people back in the day. What looks like poor design decisions today (fixed length integers) was just a reality they had to deal with.
I just absolutely do not understand how "if you don't like it just return it" is a replacement for a test drive.

Unwinding an auto loan, getting back your traded-in vehicle, etc. All of this seems non-trivial to me.

Carvana does the same thing (in fact: they already are doing the whole "buy the car online, return if you don't like it, we deliver to your house" model).

Fun project to hack on, but strikes me as kind of pointless beyond the experience/academic value of making it.

There are already a number of read-only FUSE-git bridges, and we already have production-ready FTP daemons galore if that's the protocol you prefer.

If you don't like the existing FUSE-git bridges make one of those instead. It's more composable; you could also point apache at the read-only FUSE mount for example.

You're unnecessarily tightly-coupling libgit2 and the FTP protocol, and probably creating a bunch of bugs (potentially dangerous RCE ones being a network service) in the process.
Sorry but the way github currently looks is clean and uncluttered unlike the redesign the author proposed and hope they keep it that way. Nice try though.
You are using now denigrating comments instead of answering simple questions. You are not even explaining what is wrong with the quote you took from the previous comment. The poster never said "Julia is better at every possible thing", but you are totally saying that about python by pretending it is not a chore and a difficult learned skill to write fast python numerics.

Yes, we all know that if you program in a very particular way (basically by not using any of the great dynamic or introspective features) you get fast python. How is it not objectively better to have a language that is fast independently of whether you use its dynamic/introspective/metaprogramming features?

"Python is fast as long as I program in this very particular and very constrained way" is a silly way to defend python (which is nonetheless an amazing language).

Julia has a ton of "zero cost abstractions". Python, as great as it is, simply does not.
"Rust has a fantastic learning curve."

Is this some kind of typo?
That's wrong. You should have walked away and gotten a refund.
That's a big leap at best, misrepresentation at worst.

Git is specifically a decentralised version control system. Cloning the remote branches is how you view and browse remote repos.

Viewing remote non bare repos via FTP is fine but im not sure I understand the problem.

The problem is network traffic? Cool, checkout a shallow copy depth=1.

Browsing? I'm confused how ftp is worse than say GitHub? Or GitHub with some of the file browser add-ons/greasemonkey scripts.

I'm also pretty confused by the use case that ftp beats keeping a local working copy. Presumably you want to edit these files eventually right? Are you also editing remotely? What about a remote X session or SSH?

I'm just confused by the use case not saying you're holding it wrong.

Try answering this: in what world or under which conditions does this solution make sense?

I'm not saying it's wrong I'm saying I can't see what conditions make this make sense.
When I was a young child I belonged to a Christian group in China. We weren't allowed to have our own church and I remember hearing a couple being jailed. The first time I spoke of it in the West I was met with laughter.

If the reports are true, then what's happening in Xinjiang is horrible. However, if you look at the comments section in this site you can tell that that's not the real reason they're being posted. Posts of these kind are posted primarily as rhetorical fodder, and in the case of this article, seeks to paint all Chinese as [sic] "unformed" racists. Notice how the author generalizes both Uighers and Han from maybe one or two meetings. Notice how when describing the government, the article claims that the people "forced the hand of a hard-line government".

In the other thread one user is now advocating for the expulsion of Han people(notice this implicit conflation of Han with Chinese, imagine claiming only Whites are American) living in the region, and claiming that they "are not innocent".

If you actually speak with anyone in China, you'll realize that Middle Eastern culture is held to a high regard, and that the majority of people are more sympathetic towards the Uighers. The more this tragedy gets used as political fodder, the harder it is to voice domestic opposition. Contrary to popular belief the CCP is not omnipotent, and the rest of the world does not need to be invaded to progress.

Of course the commenters on this site would rather everyone in China whether they be Han, Uigher, Manchu, or Mongol, be "liberated" Iraq style.
Getting Started with Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB)
It's very smooth after you climb the initial brick wall :-).

EDIT: Let me say something of substance. There's a steep learning curve for getting past Rust's borrow checker. But the language documentation and compiler error messages are the best I've seen of any language. I wouldn't say that Rust is an easy language to pick up, but it's surprisingly easy to learn for what it does.
this is really nice! congrats to the author! another frontend that could be interesting: fuse.
I make complaints about the small shit that github do with their responsive redesigns and they still don't even fix them.

The responsive nature of the new frontpage is garbage. Because you expect that at least 95 percent of developers using the site are doing so on the desktop. If your browser window is too small, you lose search behind a hamburger button and a navigation menu that only looks like it belongs in your hand, not on your desktop.

We're lucky this only affects the frontpage, and not within any repos were developers are doing actual work
Levels of Usefulness with Information
Pretty cool. I've been using this 2FA tool written in Go which is easy to understand and works great:

Well first off I'd probably never run a 15k interval. Pretty sure that's beyond mfgr spec. We run 7k in our diesel on full synthetic. Stretching a maintenance interval seems pennywise and pound foolish.

You also have to consider how much your time is worth of you're changing it yourself to get that cost.

Either way it's an added cost(along with transmission, differentials, etc) that you just don't incur on EVs. Right now my maintenance schedule is brake fluid @40k and coolant @100k and tires, that's it.
I doubt it. Rust's learning curve is much better than C/C++ (assuming your target is "reasonably competent at writing code other people would want to use" and not "can make a linked list").
The vapor barrier should be placed on the 'warm side', i.e. the side where the temperature is higher (as you say). So yes which side that is (what side of the insulation) depends on whether you're mostly cooling or mostly warming your house.
Tesla does not manufacture their own batteries: Panasonic does. They lease space and own the equipment, IP, and production.

I know the Gigafactory battery production intimately. I can tell you they don’t cost less than $2.50 per cell at the moment.
First rule of design: Know your user.
Second rule of design: You (the designer) are not the user.

I think the general criticisms here are because this designer didn't follow these 2 basic rules.

Ask HN: Is This Project Manager Desciption Normal?
The Product Manager will be responsible for product vision, planning, marketing, and business success. The ideal candidate must have proven management skills, including the ability to drive analytical rigor in decision-making, strong business acumen, and a solid ability to work cross-functionally. The candidate must be able to articulate value propositions – internally and externally – and possess demonstrable expertise in driving strategic goals in concert with tactical execution.

Core job functions will include customer and market research, product roadmap, product requirements definition, product positioning and price strategy, competitive analysis, go-to-market support and customer care.

If a person can do all this, why would they work for anyone else? In a company with a single, main product shouldn't this be the role of higher level executives?
Of course, everyone that disagrees with you is a foreign shill.
Just how would you solve this if you were in their position?
Wonderful article, but I reject the conclusion that the mass internments and violence were inevitable on principle. Ultimately, the decisions that lead to these outcomes are made by people, people who should be able to say "we've seen this script before, and I don't like where it is going."

If we should have learned anything from the first half of the 20th century is that simply accepting the systematic subjegation of minorty groups can lead to horrific outcomes. For a while in the late 20th century, it felt like these sorts of actions were beyond realpolitik and there would be true international condemnation and shame. I wish those days were still with us.
I’ve tried many of the same techniques myself for doing OCR. It’s a very brittle pipeline. You’ll need ML to do the job well. The state-of-the-art is Jaderberg’s Text Spotting in the Wild.
How about a green screen with burn-in?
I don’t think most cities have the economy of scale to justify much software development. This seems like something that needs to be done at the state level, setting up cities and counties as multi-tenants within a state level application.

Bias: I am working on revamping some systems used within California which feed data in from the county offices to the state office. We are almost done replacing a birth certificate / health survey system from the 80s so that the same database is used state-wide, rather than batch updates between hospitals, counties and the state running separate datastores / app instances.

Then we have to make some less drastic updates to some other similar (purpose) systems later this year...
"dated look" is not a problem. I never understood this. Why should every web page or operating system UI design change all the time? Why is it a bad thing that you finally know how to use it? Why?
Much of Emacs is written in its own version of Lisp. There has been some effort to use Scheme, using GNU Guile

https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GuileEmacs

Emacs with a better Lisp option would be a big improvement. With a faster Lisp, perhaps less of Emacs would need to be written in C/Rust.
> Unwinding an auto loan,

They could pay it off immediately for you?

They could give you the cash value of it? Also, does Tesla even accept trade-ins?

Learning plan :- A step by step document on how someone went on the acquire a new skill. What books he read, what videos he watched, what was the order etc etc.

A webapp where one can see all the learning plans that people used to learn new things. You can fork the plan and make changes to it to create a new/better plan.
Wait, Teslas don't have either of those...?

Despite the (predictable) skepticism, there are some real enterprise use-cases for something like this being served by similar "self-serve" tools. I'd be willing to take a look.
My work used to involve a bit of 'conventional' computer vision back in the day. Brittle is the right word for it. In a controlled environment with well designed lighting it can be fantastic but "in the wild" it's incredibly hard to make anything reliable.
Easier than C/C++ doesn't mean much and certainly doesn't grant a language "fantastic learning curve" status.
Many employers, including mine, have "no reference" policies in place (its a legal thing). It's this an issue you've encountered?
I can understand the irritability as the web is turned into shit by designers, so things that worked fine is now horrible to use because of unnecessary "redesign". I for sure can't mention a website redesign in recent years that made things better. Internet Archive, Gmail all turned into shit.

So when the few things left, that are not horrible and you depend on, are becoming target for "The Designer Treatment", you become angry.

"Heat pumps work best when you maintain a room at a stable, comfortable temperature."

Right, but for this to be economical, you need to have a well-insulated house, which is pretty much impossible to retrofit. So practically speaking, only newly build houses (and then, only those to the highest energy standards) should use heat pumps for heating. If we go around promoting them for other purposes, they will build up a reputation for being a crappy solution and people will shy away from them. That's my main problem with people promoting them - they often promote them for retrofits.
> There is a difference between non-repeatable in same state and non-scientific.

No, there isn't.

> Applying absolute standards of rigor is ironically also unscientific.

The rules governing science are not determined by science itself. Science experimentally tests propositions about facts. Rules about science are propositions about other propositions. Hence, science has absolutely nothing to say about its own rules. Therefore, propositions about the scientific method are necessarily unscientific.
Can a child consent to fame? Should a parent be permitted to make that choice for their child?

I don't believe so. We don't let parents send their children down into coal mines, and neither should we allow parents to make their children famous on youtube. Parental rights are secondary to the rights of the child.
Eh, I guess I'd pass that test because I honestly don't care about my order most of the time. And if I'm out on an interview, I definitely don't care about it, especially not enough to risk making a bad impression.

I doubt many would fail that portion of the interview.

The biggest failure question, however, is a pretty good one, and it seems to be pretty common in interviews that it's almost become cliche. Honestly, I feel like this article is pretty weak.

Buffettology:What four decades of correspondence from the Oracle of Omaha reveal
This is amazing. Kudos team Tesla. You have reached here against tall odds and severe cynicism.
This was an interesting take, but personally I think lands with something that misses the mark. I collaborate with my team in slack. I’m really using github to get to my files quickly, view history, or I jump to issues.
Any collaboration on github I would say is largely secondary (from my personal experience anyway). Nobody on my teams has ever been waiting on Github for any type of real-time activity, so even PRs review requests are generally communicated through some type of chat.

Personally I feel the author’s final design is also a step backward - while I realize things have been “cleaned up”, a horizontal menu with that many options is too many - and they are not of equal value. The existing division is helpful based on real life use - not the authors idea of what looks good. I don’t need menu items I rarely touch given the same importantance of the ones I use daily - I don’t want to even accidentally read them - it wastes my time. Also, how quickly does this need an alternative solution for narrower screens? Lastly, the authors design is looks to me just like stack overflow - I don’t think it’s fair to say it’s any more modern than githubs current design which has strong and consistent visual language I appreciate as a benchmark for how other products could look and feel. Github looks like GitHub in every part of GitHub, and for me at least, that’s a good thing.
Do you truly think that no code should be optimized to run as quickly as possible over more human considerations? I think game engine developers might like to have a word with you...
My reading of this design work up is that it was just a fun exercise for someone with design skills; design kata if you will.

Literally applying the bland "no borders, no contrast, white everywhere" trend cookie-cutter style is not what I'd call "design skills". Sadly there are very few actual good designers out there, but their work is easy to identify because they stand out in a good way. This one just looks like another "me too" redesign.
SciHub is amazing. I'm not in academia or industry, and I was working on trying to find some eutectics of simple ionic halide mixtures with some software that was missing some of the activation energy coefficients for some of the ion interactions. Must have looked at at least 30+ papers, which if university-publishing house cartel have their way, would have cost me thousands of dollars just to look at. Between sci-hub and all the open source code from labs and individuals around the world, it's just breathtaking what can be explored now outside the confines of academia.
