If only it were like software. Producing another marginal unit of software is trivial.
You realize the BC Government isn't even based in Metro Vancouver right?
A province (or state) has no business making legislation like this. It allows them to aggressively pat each other on the back and assert that they're finally "doing something about _______", while standing atop some defeated straw man of "big oil" or other nonsense.

As others have asserted, that energy has to come from somewhere. I'm more than willing to bet that the losses from conversion and transportation add up to make it less efficient, and more polluting.

Wankery.
Getting to 37k isn't a bad accomplishment. It may not be the big number, but its still a pretty good price point. Hopefully this is the end of the chaos pricing has been the past few weeks.

I wonder if there will ever be a sub 30k car by Tesla someday. The average new car is around 37k now, so about half the market is under that.
Will no one think of the Nazis?

They just want a little breathing room!
In theory, if it all magically worked, then sure.
In reality, no. Because no matter the good intentions, I can not trust the government to not screw it up.

If a company screws something up, I can just switch jobs and move to another company. If the government screws up, there is little I can do.
This is like the Netflix show Maniac, where Emma Stone's character had sold her likeness to be used in advertisements.
According to our council, even encrypted or hashed data was still counted as PII as those are security measures, not privacy measures.
I am really amazed they haven't deleted that tweet out of embarrassment for being so utterly wrong.
The "non-sustainable" non-urban lifestyles are essential for our society. How else do you expect to get food, minerals, lumber, hydro electricity (heh), and so on.

By all means, price in the externalities, use a carbon tax or something. But the idea that we shouldn't go to the middle of nowhere because it requires a CO2 emitting vehicle is ridiculous.
Their description was correct. What they missed off the /tmp/root_content.txt example was that the shell would create that file first, then launch the program pointing it's STDOUT to that file.

Because those streams are file system objects that use the same reading and writing APIs as regular files, it means you can also substitute them for regular files too. Which is what's happening in that specific example.

Essentially UNIX supports a whole array of special files that might behave slightly differently in the background but all can be interfaced with using the same principles as any regular file. It's quite a clever solution - albeit not without it's problems, kludges and mistakes too.
You’re right. But I support legislation that aims to remedy that.
What part of "full" is ambiguous. Maybe your point stands if just "autonomy" was used generically. But "full" has a specific implication.
Maybe I'm just a grump, but: 5% is pretty low number for training people up. Perhaps that's just the "hit the books on your own, but during work time" portion? If it includes other things (talking people though a project that's on the edge of their capabilities, discussing the architecture of important project from an educational perspective, ...) then it seems pretty low.

EDIT: non-phone spelling
Yes sorry, I totally agree with this and I am digressing. I'm reacting to the first words of the article:

> I always try to build less software. Less software means you have to spend less time updating it, less time fixing it, and less time thinking about it. The only thing better than “less software” is no software at all.

The problem is that I have been harassed on this very basis (i.e. that of a philosophically stated point of view) by people that are less able than me and this lead to writing over and over again the same dumb code for 15,000 lines while it could have been kept under 1000 (in fact I did it) (and as you may have already guessed it, this is resentment speaking here).

Actually you don't make things simpler, either you move complexity around, often concentrating it somewhere to alleviate its weight on other parts of the system, and they can then be described in shorter terms, enhancing the pace at which you can tweak them – or you get rid of that complexity, moving it out of the code, i.e. delegating it to future implementations or to manual maintenance support tasks.

This is the bit that is problematic to me:
> [you have to spend] less time thinking about it

Absolutely not. In some parts yes, definitively, but some other parts will be incredibly dense, and will require a very slow reading pace. When you want to change such code, you have to sit in front of your screen, thinking hard about what happens for 30 minutes, and when you get it it's a 5 lines change.
Maybe the author doesn't consider this in this article because he doesn't have to deal with implementing these piping heuristics, he already has those of bash.

Now why am I pulling the cow's horn like this ? Because this also encourages people into simpler thinking and they mix this up with whatever noble ideal simplicity actually refers to, while, as Hickey pointed out, it's a lot more about the tradeoff that populate the quadruality between easy/simple vs complex/complicated. Nonetheless, here they come, shitting on my tree-traversal – not a simple thing, not in their realm, and here they are, "flattening" it in a 200 files long pull request.

As for how software should be done, err ... I think I never heard what I'd say, i.e. that software should be developed by programmers or in other words teammates, not pupils nor slaves, and that these people, as thinking beings, shouldn't be treated as things that conform and must be, quite to the contrary, they should let be.
Trucks are the next target for electrification, and the results will certainly be much better all around. Electric motors go hand in hand with endless torque, and four wheel drive (including four full independent drives) is much simpler for an electric vehicle.
This article is pointing out the problem with individualizing environmental or social problems. "The reason people are so broke is because they don't have the moral fiber to not buy that $5 latte. If they were smart and frugal, their problems with money would be solved."

No amount of decreased latte consumption will make up for the underlying problems people face - stagnant wadges, increased prices on fixes costs, student debt.

It's the same shaming related to obesity. Has obesity risen because people are now more lazy than in the past, or is because we live in a culture saturated with the marketing and availability of energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods?
Coal may be out in places like Canada by 2040 assuming great advances in technology, cost & major climate disruptions. However, it is very unlikely to be out for countries in Africa and Asia that are seeing tremendous increases in energy consumption that cannot be covered by other means of energy capture due to a variety of reasons.
O(n) == O(n^2) when n = 1.
I agree. As a remote freelancer, I'm currently in (checks the app) 5 Slacks. I have explicitly told everyone in each of those Slacks that I treat it as async only. I sometimes have it up, and sometimes don't when I'm cranking. I definitely don't have push notifications coming into anything.

I've found being in Slack is a great way to feel less isolated, and conversations that might not otherwise happen happen. I also am in very small channels, usually no more than 5 people. This may contribute to why I like it. I can't imagine being in a 50-100 person Slack with everyone messaging everyone. Especially if I'm expected to keep up. The low population count makes it so that I rarely miss anything.
They're saying you can, at most, have two of the three, but that doesn't mean you automatically get two (or even one). Bitcoin is 0/3.
After Project Treble that only applies to the legacy HAL code.
Automatic emergency braking is a pretty standard/available feature on a lot of cars.

Not sure about the privacy invasion part? I believe a lot of cars with AEB don’t have cellular connections so how could they invade privacy? I’m thinking of stuff like Honda Sensing or Subaru EyeSight here, or whatever Toyota puts on the Prius.
First time I have come across /e/ and I love their vision, goals and early execution. They will need a business model to fund the type of execution which they will need to win at scale, or even to win in a niche. What are some possibilities?
People who invest in innovation historically have not been glad afterwards
Platforms like Spotify, YouTube, etc, are a marketing channel - not a revenue channel. They can be used effectively to develop an audience, but not to monetize it.

For example see Pusheen the cat. Started off as a tumblr web comic/character and now generates millions in merchandising revenue:

Google has never been required to commit upstream, but they've chosen to do so because of the ease of integrating changes downstream. They could have forked off and bashed the code into whatever form they wanted to. Breaking anything and everything.

But they didn't. They kept keeping it in sync. They probably had a reason for doing that.

YouTubers won't unionize. There's no way that's going to happen after what MCNs did. People aren't going to trust new organizations coming along promising the same things.
No, “the press” in “freedom of the press” is the printing press, not the institutional media. It protects the right to print and distribute information; it's the “in print” extension of the right to speech, needed because the 18th Century norm was for print to be more tightly regulated than speech itself, so it would not without explicit listing be clear that free speech extended to expression in print.

It is not a get-out-of-generally-applicable-crimes free card for people engaged in media-related activity.

> It's far more scalable than ticketing. Issues can be resolved in three lines of text, rather than ticket creation, queue, assignment, closing, etc.

My experience has been that it goes on for thirty or three hundred lines of problem report -> steps to reproduce -> troubleshooting -> proposed solution -> etc. Two days later someone else gets pulled in so they look at a Jira ticket with an empty description and zero comments...
>What are these bad actors doing

As far as I can tell the problem is that they scare sheltered white people.
Once again I gotta say the negativity is astounding. People are so stoked to be rooting for this American tech company to fail. I really don't get it.

The main gripe I see is that Tesla misses deadlines or makes promises they cannot fulfill. Is this not super common in nearly every industry? Have none of you missed deadlines?

I remember this article[1]from last year stating GM would release fully autonomous cars with no steering wheel in 2019! Yet clearly that is not going to happen and I never heard any backlash, but I guess it's not cool to hate GM.

I also am astounded to see people constantly saying Autonomy is a decade+ away. They already have cars driving people 95% of their miles, which would've seemed impossible 6 years ago, and yet here we are, and the last 5% is going to take a decade? How many times are people going to doubt Elon before they realize they're betting against someone whose done the impossible many times over.

The bitcoin whitepaper describes partitioning identities from transactions. But not anonymity. Realistically, it doesn't provide effective anonymity because if your identity leaks for any one transaction, it's likely leaked for all of your transactions.
> You're always the product. Even paying for a product

Really! I am astonished that people seem comfortable that their products have prominent and sometimes dominant logos of a manufacturer, so that they have paid to be walking/driving billboards for somebody else.

Plenty of iphone and ipad cases have holes to show the mirrored Apple logo -- originally intended as a selfie mirror but obsolete for that purpose once the selfie camera was introduced. (I use both devices myself but don't worry about blocking the logo).

Which set implementation are you referring to?

And also remember the context here: you're removing duplicate value's from an array. So you're inserting N items into a set. If the set insertion or enumeration involves even a O(log(n)) operation, you're at nlogn.
Wasnt that done in the 90s? Why be skeptical it could be done?
In my experience, at two developers. You just have to hire a junior capable of significant growth and who starts out at some level above "helpless", which I'll admit is hard. And of course be able to create small bits of work he can do on his own with a moderate amount of help.

On the other hand, if the company is so overloaded that they really would like for you to put in 100 hours of real work a week.... And if they stick all the developers in an open office, forget about it.
Currently switching jobs for a personal record 57% increase in total compensation.

And I was NOT poorly compensated before. I was already in the 99th percentile for individual income.

The harder I push on comp the more I get each time.

I am not going to lie and say that it didn't take years to build to this point in terms of skill, work record, professional network, and interview ability. It took three FAANG companies bidding against each other.

Meanwhile I get offered nothing in terms of growth from every employer I have ever worked for ever. Literally never happened my entire career. Just this time after I already had an undisclosed offer in hand I got a promotion with no meaningful compensation increase. It was the first promotion of my 15 year career!

Sure they were willing to match, but who wants to try and soak blood from a stone.

There may be a really big problem here.
While it's good to know how the sausage is made this doesn't solve the issue. They want portable formats for common features. Learning a single tech stack doesn't accomplish this.
Whether or not Slack encourages workflows (and I can see how it would), I think in order to be an effective human in the modern era _requires_ thinking critically about technology choices and how to use them. Cal Newport's new book Digital Minimalism was a great read about this - be intentional about your tech choices, and be intentional about when and how you use them. Otherwise it's super easy to just get sucked into spending all day wasting time on the most distracting and addicting sites. Company culture can be shaped (though it's definitely hard when you are on the bottom of the hierachy).
Is there an example of a type that has an equivalence operation but cannot have a hash operation? Seems to me that those two are identical. If you have a subset of elements within a type that defines identity, then you can hash that identity.
I've been curious about the story of the Virtual Boy for a while -- it's Nintendo's console-that-shall-not-be-named, only brought up occasionally in "history of VR"-esque stories. This was a very good and detailed writeup of the the console's history and the events leading up to release.
> People aren't dumb, but I think people have poor information literacy skills, which is linked to the decline in liberal arts education in favor of the emphasis on STEM education.

Citation needed. Obviously, people from the humanities believe that they are very important and should be paid a lot to shepherd society, but that's not enough to convince me.

If you put varnish or something in front of rails to cache your responses you could probably cut 400-600ms off your loading time.
Even if it were less efficient currently, I think energy production will quickly snap over to renewables quickly once it becomes economically advantageous. Cars and trucks will have to be gradually phased out over a 10-20+ year period so getting a head start on this would probably pay out in the long term
There seems to be more than a few auto companies made in the last century[1]. I'm not saying he's not making these things better, but they existed previous to his invention - which bits of the lifter are completely novel? Complete automation would be entirely novel - it's not just a matter of finding a cheaper/better way to do it.

Seems like the user itself has been deleted, which might cause Github to remove all content created by that user.
Sure, but not about the downsides of removing them. It's a balance of pros and cons. Having people stop using their phones at all in a car wouldn't be a huge deal. It is only a recent problem after all. Not having the automobile would be devastating to the economy and people's lifestyles.

The pros of phone use in a car are real, but shallow. The cons are that they cause accidents. It's heavily weighted toward cons.

I just tried it but says invalid cert
The trials aren't "secret", they're still held in open court and with a jury picked from the public. It just means that a judge has prevented press coverage of the trial because it's likely to be contentious. Unfortunately we can't trust certain corners of the press to dryly report the facts of the trial rather than sensationalise their coverage and create salacious headlines which may influence the jury (e.g. Daily Mail, Daily Express, The Sun...).

See para 4:

> This is to stop suspects facing "trial by media," and in order to let cases run their course.
Same reason I don't let crack addicts into my house. They're going to steal from me.
Thanks for the feedback, good to know. Interesting you mentioned the Amazon card. I would actually be curious to hear your experience with that Amazon card. In looking at the reviews on their site, nearly the entire last two years reviews are pretty abysmal review(one star.) Cheers.
Sigh, another misleading title from a publication that should know better.

This isn't about "Big Business". It's about the energy sector, specifically and exclusively. It's basically a story about how Exxon is now using renewables to make it more cost-effective to extract hydrocarbons to burn.
Every new grad, intern I've worked with has done an amazing job hitting the ground running. They're not ready for "here's a big problem, please dream up a solution and get it out the door", but with reasonably laid out tasks they do a fantastic job working out the code and improving their technical chops along the way.

> Streaming pays so little, unless you're a big name

Are you saying big acts get more per stream?

Also, I'd love to hear what you think about how the incentives from Spotify et al are changing music itself. From what I understand, a play isn't registered until a certain portion of the song has been played. This hurts songs that have a slow build and so hooks are being pushed right up front. Do you think it's homogenizing music to any degree?
There are many references to multiple cpu systems throughout the document. Maybe I missed something, but I didn't know Fuschia was aimed at systems like that. I am no expert, but aren't the vast majority of multiple cpu systems servers or high-rnd workstations? If google can supply their own server os, Linux could lose a lot of support and funding
>They already have cars driving people 95% of their miles

I'm skeptical. I'd be surprised if more than 40% of my miles were freeway.

I’m always surprised at how loud the single engine landing burns are.
fairings will be reused from this FH launch, so the only part not being reused is the second stage.

Who cares that the "promised" deadline for Falcon Heavy and rapid reusability was also blown several times. This result is something completely unimaginable couple of years ago and nobody is currently able to match it. It will be similar with Tesla, only much more people feel entitled to talk about cars than rockets, so they forget the bigger picture.
On one hand, I think it's unfortunate that a society has to have a mindset of self preservation. On the other, I think individuals should be self-sufficient and responsible for themselves.

Wow, I'm quite shocked that reddit allows so much extreme violent content.. It's readily accessible, even advertised as subreddits, and there aren't any warnings or self-help resources. If people get into that stuff, which is readily addictive, I would think it has significant potential for psychological harm, especially for teenagers. One can argue that it's possible to compartmentalize it, but I doubt it since the mind/brain is a single highly integrated system..
