In the US, Hyundai sells the Ioniq with ICE, hybrid, and EV drive trains:

https://www.hyundaiusa.com/ioniq/

Hyundai is taking a smart approach, making sure new platforms support electrification to varying levels. Take the Kona for example, it was introduced as an ICE vehicle and is shaping up to be an intriguing EV.

Unfortunately they're limiting EV model sales to certain states. Hoping they expand beyond compliance car status soon. The Kona EV is _actually on lots_, around $40k before any rebates/credits/incentives, and has a ~250 mile range.
In manufacturing - any position will interact with software for most of the day, and it is definitely part of the promotion path.

This. People with/without degrees are not a "segment of the population," comparable from one generation to another. College got more common.

What actually happened is that more people from less wealthy backgrounds went to college.
Asia is doing a fantastic job with EVs. I really like what Hyuandai did with the Ioniq, they kept it simple and reasonable. I'd love to see more of the same from other manufacturers.

Tesla will always be a media circus company unfortunately. With or without Musk there are many people who have a lot to gain with it failing. I think they have a clear path forward and will succeed.
Every day I see young people dreaming about owning a Tesla someday instead of the ICE dream cars of the past (Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, etc.) I don't know what the value of that is, but it ain't nothing.
I disagree. there are products that are complicated, because the underlying problem your product helps to solve is complicated. And if there are existing solutions that tackle this problems differently to you, you might have to give users a pointer.

If you e.g. design a software for electronic circuit design, good user on-boarding will allow you to highlight specifically why your product shines in comparison to other products.

Another objection: some “products” are specifically meant to work for power users and a increased software complexity can increase the working speed and power you give to the user at the cost of making it harder for new users (e.g. vim for text editing).

Of course if your product is the equivalent of a egg timer, it should be 100% self explainatory. And even if you do a electronic circuit design software it is always good to keep things self explainatory where you can.

But sometimes you have to explain things in order to equip your users with a new, innovative and powerful concept they might never heard about before. Removing that concept to avoid complexity could them be akin to changing your target group. You can fl this, but it needs to fit the concept.

Oh and sometimes you can just do both. Give your app an expert mode.
> 10 years is just wild.

And on Windows, a 10 year old program NOT working is extremely rare.

Hell, a 20 year old program is most likely to be running too (most common issue would be the installer but usually it can be worked around).

> Unless you only have libc as a dependency but I doubt that for a graphical application.

You can also have xlib as a dependency and it'll work since unlike whatever madness is built on top of it, the X11 API is stable (but of course modern developers dislike that stability and want to replace it with Wayland that breaks everything again so they have new toys to play with). Example: https://i.imgur.com/YxGNB7h.png (from an old toolkit of mine, showing the same binaries running in 90s RedHat and last year's Debian).
It being aliens would require completely rewriting physics as we understand it, because physics as we understand it does not allow for gravity manipulation or FTL.

Occaam's Razor claims that terrestrial technology is more likely than extraterrestrial because it relies on fewer unproven assumptions, namely the existence of extraterrestrial life, its presence on Earth, and everything we know about physics being wrong, despite the math somehow working out to describe the universe incredibly well.
Woah, take it easy there, Satan! ;)

Kidding aside, it's clear that the model for paying up front for something you don't know you'd like isn't ideal. I think it's simple and honest, which is great, but it's not without its issues.
I think if Apple creates a good refund policy though, it would make this model more appealing for many developers.

Of course depending on the policy specifics, that could change the nature of the games being developed, but I think it's a worthwhile direction to explore nonetheless.
Real alien here; AMA.
It's sad that this has to be said. I have lots of side projects that involve making stuff, music, electronics, restoring old computers and the like. Very occasionally these projects involve writing some code, but it's the exception rather than the rule.

If you want to write code for fun and it makes you happy then go for it! But by no means feel obliged to. It doesn't make you any more or less of a programmer.
I'm sorry to hear that. If you (or any other interested parties) would prefer, you can email them to info@readcoor.com instead.

> Internet connection would pale in comparison

Eh, my thoughts are immeasurably boring most of the time.
If I have a piece of advice to juniors about this is: burnout is real.

I used to have personal projects that didn't pay off in any way beyond personal learning, and they sure were taxing on my life.

Now I have a job that I enjoy and is challenging enough. For the last year I have been making a conscious effort to change how I deal with personal projects. I try to take on tasks that are low effort, and not feel guilty about dropping something if I feel that it doesn't work, or it's starting to require too much from me.
This is a problem I have seen trying to staff up technical projects on NIH grants -- even barely-competitive compensation for entry-level developers exceeds that of the senior staff evaluating the grants. Makes everyone feel weird.
> That forcible suppression of an opposition viewpoint instead of coming to the table together to debate differences when crafting policy, I see as having elements of Fascism.

Do you see Orwell literally taking up arms in the Spanish Civil War against his ideological opponents instead of debating them—especially when he wasn't even Spanish himself—as having elements of fascism, too?
If you are really asking for it to be like Jarvis, where "like" implies some reasonably similar approximation, then:

No. Absolutely not. Not even close.
(Note: we call it "Guix System" instead of "GuixSD" now.)

There is little difference between Guix and the Guix system when looking a little more closely. Even when using Guix as a package manager it won't link with any of your OS libraries, so you end up downloading or building variants of libraries that you may already have on your host operating system --- that's by design as it unlocks reproducible builds.

Model 3 suddenly cost $1,000 per wheel and come with a mandatory $40k/year support package, but don't worry, your rep got you a sweet 7.5% discount on future services — and he's never heard of a director approving such an incredible discount.
I've seen several comparisons showing that Epic's prices are not actually lower than Steam's (in general).

Can't find them right now, and don't have the time to do a thorough comparison, but looking at the first three games on the Epic Store front page that also have Steam pages with prices seems to confirm this. That's "Oxygen not Included", "Vampire: The Masquerade® - Bloodlines™ 2" and "Outward", all of which are priced the same on both stores (€22.99, €59.99 and €39.99, respectively).
> you don't need to tell me

All right, but I was saying so from the perspective and for the potential benefit of US readers, who celebrate Labor Day in the fall.

As for your other point, at least here in Switzerland, the delineation between "march" and "protest" is not so clear, and May Day usually features both.
In my view, it is the inability to hire great people that causes implementation of strict rules. It is also when processes are broken down down into imitatable parts instead of specialty skills.
Building recommender systems with Azure ML service: best practices on deployment
I've yet to see anybody that really bothers writing comments or documentation, and, more importantly, keeps it updated to match reality. This is only getting worse these days, where even major libraries and frameworks from Fortune 50 companies barely have autogen'd javadoc-style information available.
I think there's little sentiment to it and much practicality.

He raised the wage, in large part, because he could not retain employees due to the work conditions.
Everything just works and its partly because of Elon that it works NOW. Massive amounts of money flowing into electric vehicles because manufacturers do not want to lose market share to Tesla. They were doing quiet ok with oil cars.
This[1] discussion on the minimum wage (specifically centered on Seattle's recent laws) provides a more nuanced goal than just "helping workers" or "getting them dependent"; essentially he's saying there are two types of minimum wage workers - teenagers looking for summer money, and adults making a living -, and you can help the latter if you don't mind screwing the former.

I held off forever too. However, with classicshell and a bunch of OS tweaks, it's pretty much like win7. the only downside is the telemetry reporting..
By what definition? The chance of bankruptcy over the next five years is undoubtedly higher for Tesla. I think you are grossly misrepresenting Ford's balance sheet:

https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/f/financials/bal...

Tesla is valued in large part based on the kind of math you'd commonly see applied to a VC backed company three orders of magnitude smaller; multiplying a large payoff value by a small chance of success.

People are making a bet on it becoming a trillion dollar behemoth that snatches tons of market share from energy and automobile companies during the turbulent switch over to renewable energy.

If you're confident in their execution, it's worth it to have Tesla swing for the fences chasing this vision even if there's a large chance of failure. Assuming of course you have diversified - I think you'd have to have a screw loose to go all in.
My dad was a carpenter. He always said "Make money with your brain, not your back." He knew.
FLIR can have internal reflections in its optics, which is exactly what the footage looks like.
They both look good to me. Ford is taking all the right steps to transition while keeping their current product relevant.

Tesla has a clear path forward, they are just raising to start Model Y, Semi and Pickup production.
The self-employed electrician lives on connections and contacts to get work. There usually isn't a formal career path into a "senior position", but remember that by law of numbers those are only open to a fraction of people.

It is not any different. It is just that there are a lot of people that dislike Elon particularly especially on Wall Street.

Well, we went through the transition at my last job so I kind of have some incite. We had 3 or 4 people on my project who had came over from Invision, who are a fully remote company and I have a good friends at other well known fully remote companies that I gleamed things from to help us transition from 0 remote company to a fully remote project team (50ppl-ish).

1. Every meeting should be video first. Going without video should be extraordinarily rare. Even if that's just an impromptu meeting with 2 or 3 people. Kill conference phones completely. Get used to screen sharing. Good reliable tools like Zoom are invaluable. You miss a lot from body language and facial expressions if you use audio only, which will fix your major issue. It also makes people feel more included and that the people working somewhere else are actually real people and not just voices. Make good use of Slack video

2. Every meeting should be able to be taken as remote, even if that means just from your desk (or personal meeting room if you're in an open office). This means that the people who are in a conference room must be on video with an open mic, unless there is uncontrollable excessive background noise or something. No cross the table talk on mute.

3. Don't be afraid to make temp rooms with multiple people when you have conversations on Slack (or whatever you use), it'll help more people get involved as if you were talking at someone's desk.

The first 2 things are extremely important. Invision has recently released some blogs about cultivating a good remote culture that are pretty good. I don't have any links handy, however but it's worth a look if you're interested.

All of that sounds like overtime. Still the same job.

How many docs are working on side projects in their free time?
I think I do a good job, but coming up with a nice story is difficult.

Success stories are short: you intervened early, spoke to the parties involved, made a plan everyone could agree on and moved on.

The interesting stories often only have OK-ish endings: You are facing extreme issues that are not under your direct control and you somehow keep things working (bad hires, dis-functioning external teams, legacy code falling apart from all ends, bad higher management).

And than there are non-issues you tackled early enough. E.g.: Newly established workflows and documentation between departments, getting you a compliment once and there might be less conflicts and pressure now, but it's hard to quantify.

Maybe good questions would be (answers I'd like to hear in brackets):

How and when do you...

- criticize (reviewing work, in a constructive manner)

- praise (frequent and honest praise, but no participation trophies)

- get involved in a grudge between team members (pro-actively, in private)

- escalate to higher ups (as a last resort and for serious violations)

- talk to individuals about work related, but not directly task-related things (one on ones, actively checking on those you don't communicate with often)

- encourage autonomy (take risks, keep pushing, give feedback)

- Do you approach different people in different ways? If so, make 1-2 examples. (adjusted level of politeness and formality when communication with other cultures (I'm German, we really have to change gears depending on who's on the other line), adjust how much guidance is needed when giving tasks, don't be racist/sexist/etc.)

- And to include something less people focused: When and how do decide to get a 2nd opinion? (acknowledge when you are out of your depth, do research, learn and ask others)
It would be interesting to calculate how much better wages are given country of origin. What I mean is, there are currently about 28 million immigrants living in the U.S. with about 1.2 million arriving every year (both documented and undocumented.)

According to statistics, 30% of new immigrants have no high school diploma, so while the average wage is low, it's probably much higher than they would be getting in their native country (otherwise, presumably, many woudn't have left in the first place.)

This may be putting pressure on wage growth for native-born Americans but overall growth as a whole may be stronger than it looks.
This is from the Economist article that Musk was tweeting about:

Well before it confirmed the latest missed production target, investors worried about the firm’s cash-burn rate in 2018. In addition to the $2bn or so of capital that may be required to expand production of the Model 3, Tesla has some $1.2bn in convertible debt maturing by early next year. On March 27th Moody’s, a credit-rating agency, downgraded Tesla’s debt, cautioning that the firm “will likely need to raise additional capital during the second half of 2019”. Jefferies, a bank, predicts that Tesla will need $2.5bn to $3bn this year.

The cited prediction by Moody’s was very close, apparently ("likely need to raise capital in the second half of 2019").
It can be the case that it isn't worth ramping up production. It depends on what sort of demand they are estimating. If there are only about 18 months of orders at lower volumes, why bother filling them in 6 months...
I think this happens because the term "side-project" has a lot of possible interpretations:

- Hobby project to play with some tech just because you find interesting

- Hobby project to play with some tech that might help your career in the future

- Homework project to learn about the tech you currently use at work

- For-profit project to hopefully earn some extra money

- For-profit project to hopefully earn enough money to allow you to quit your day job (my case now)

- Portfolio-making projects to show at job-interviews as a junior developer (my case a couple of years ago)

All of them seems legit if your decision to do them is personal. But some of them might be prone to abuse by employers
wages have absolutely not risen proportional to worker productivity

Of course as far as graphical desktop software goes, 99% of the dependencies are in the userspace. Unless the userspace libraries (or parts of it) decide to follow Linus' mantra of not breaking the applications that rely on their code, kernel not breaking userspace isn't very useful to graphical desktop applications.
"Good will" isn't the reason, that's the point.
At https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/autopilot?redirect=no, one of those quotes is presented as a full-screen caption at the beginning of the video near the top of the page.

Epic might be one of the only companies doing microtransactions correctly with Fortnite. Fortnite Battle Royale is free to play so it makes sense that they monetize somehow, but there is no randomness to purchases in the game. You buy items you want and you see exactly what you're getting. The paid for version of the game recently switched their lootbox mechanic so that you also see what's in the boxes before you buy them.
"they spent how much money and time, and this is all they have?!" awe indeed.
Most distros are distributed as binaries.

But since the source is available and the licenses allow distribution, it's much easier to just recompile the thing.

Binary compatibility is not valued if you can just recompile the source. Why waste brain cells maintaining compatibilty when the compiler can bake you a new compatible binary?
It is what it is. Ideas put into work by using money from (lots of) small resources. Most are very passionate about it and really want to succeed, but the risks are huge due to various reasons.

I have kickstarted a videogame that's still not available after years, but the developer gives monthly honest feedbacks which have been very entertaining. I don't expect to have a game within the next 3 years, but i don't really care much. He got his adventure, i got mine.

I also kickstarted a board game that has never ever been finished completely and never will. It works, but there is zero communication or updates. Just silence. That hurted way more.
The perception of complexity matters more than actual complexity.

At my job we made the product more complex and in rushing to release it, we didn't include an onboarding process like the old one. The new product ended up winning the AB test in conversion.

As a follow up, I did a 3 way AB test that included the original product without the onboarding process.

What I found out was that the original product without the onboarding process performed just as well as the new one. It was the onboarding hurting our conversion.

We originally thought those extra steps helped the user make a decision but it just made the product seem more complicated and lead to analysis paralysis.
The official Guix channels do not package proprietary software. However, nothing is stopping someone from doing it.
The big reduction in S/X played even a larger role, but these models got updated, the smaller and cheaper battery option available again. With the efficiency upgrades, the 80kWh Model S/X are greater value than ever.
There's nothing to manage.
My guess is that they will enforce it on the assumption that most leasees will just re-up with a new Tesla. Meanwhile Tesla can get more heavily into the resale game and hit lower price points by selling the same car twice.
At the beginning of this year I got hooked-up on this concept of functional system and package management. I've read through all the Nix documentation trying to get a feeling of how should I use it. And it just felt bad - sometimes the documentation was outdated, sometimes it clearly contradicts code on master, sometimes the programming style was inconsistent, sometimes the examples were unclear, too simple or too contrived... Thousand ways to achieve the same things and no clear "best practices" way.

Is guix's documentation any better? I mean - teach me the theory, but also show me practical examples making use of it so I could remember?
In fairness to the quoted comment, its creating a story to tell investors.

If I come to you asking for $1 billion in funding. I don't tell you about the boring, low growth, probable outcome. I tell you about the exciting, new, unexplored potential market just waiting to be tapped.

But no, self driving taxis aren't just around the corner.
We're out here. You're not alone.
Really it seems like one of the biggest mistake of communists is in misidentifying their opponents and allies.

Not unique to them but there are quite a few cases where "enemies" were helful to them yet persecuted and the "allies" would have been best off strangled when they first met them to save everyone a lot of heartache.
You sound delightful.

Also, there's plenty of associate degrees out there which represent a college education, non-4-year degree. Many of those represent trade/union type jobs (mechanics and many other types of technicians) with good pay rates
