Nothing wrong with innovation. But innovation on one front, in Tesla's case EVs, doesn't mean you have to innovate on other fronts like manufacturing and production. And the last thing is what might be killing Tesla at the moment.

When "we always did it that way" is a big corp disease, "we are doing it differently because we innovate" is just the start-up version of it. Tesla had, and still has, a great opportunity to disrupt the automotive industry. But not if they execute a lot worse then incumbents.
Theoretical capacity of the gigafactory is currently 35GWh/year, current production is 26GWh/year. Panasonic has stopped increasing the theoretical number to concentrate on getting the actual number up to the theoretical number.

> The Japanese makers seem to be going at it more slowly...perhaps lessons learned from the leaf?

I'm not sure they learned anything from the Leaf tbh. It's a fine little car and I've never met anyone who owned one (myself included) who said anything other than "it needs more range and it's too expensive". Sure there's all sorts of things you could nitpick about, just like with any car, but at it's core the range and sticker price are the only major issues.
Because Elite delivers on a lot of the promises of Star Citizen, and it’s a mature, actively supported game with a dedicated player base that you can buy today. The fact that you can’t walk around with your avatar actually makes the game more immersive; though you can deploy a rover on rocky planets without an atmosphere. It’s lacking a lot of non-gameplay features, but the space flight and combat systems are tight — the physics are accurate if you accept the existence of “frame shift drives”.

I find any time you can walk around in an open world game, it ends up becoming an MMORPG. Elite very much does not feel like an MMO. You really only encounter other players around major trading hubs and combat zones inside the bubble, and even then not many due to the way they shard the instancing. Space is empty and unforgiving.

This may work for start-ups. Tesla is way beyond that point now, so the story counts less then hard numbers.
The problem rather is that even if you do, many distributions will not obey "your" standard.

EDIT: So the problem is that it is not a problem of work to be done, but a problem of willingness to standardize.

Nice ideas but you might be better off with a folding editor or IDE where you can hide very long comment blocks.

If you haven’t tried a literate programming language, you might like it. You basically write a document with figures, etc. it is, with bits of executable code.

BTW, most of my coding in my last job was in Jupiter notebooks (to use Cloud GPU compute). Really not too bad for short ML scripts when you can still put slow changing library code you write in separate files. That said, not a great environment. I prefer configuring ITerm2 or xterm so I can get matplotlib plots to appear inline in SSH sessions.

The other big problem with mmap is what happens when your file changes out from under you. This seems to be mostly for git packfiles, which I think can be treated as immutable by convention, but that's not strongly enforced anywhere. For reading, eg, program source files, I think mmap is hugely problematic.

I've been arguing for a long time that operating systems should provide read only snapshots of files as a primitive, but that's a pretty big ask; it's especially hard to do when the file system is network-mounted. There are a couple of copy-on-write filesystems on Linux (btrfs and ZFS if memory serves) which can do this locally, but it's not mainstream.
I wonder because Stripe has a subsidiary in the EU already.
There is an interview somewhere where Musk admits that their 100% automation plan was a bad idea. And the interviewer says 'well everyone told you it was a bad idea'. And Musk says (something like) 'everyone tells us everything we do is a bad idea'.

edit: interview is here: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-07-13/-the-last...

100% automation was a gamble that didn't pay off. They scrabbled around a bit, and got to more-or-less where they needed to be via a different route.
Not sure what the other commenter was referring to, but to me it's amusing because Elite: Dangerous is a (somewhat) similar game that followed the opposite path of Star Citizen: They started with an MVP, got that to market and have been gradually expanding on it over time.
The last thing one should do to solve housing inequality is to intentionally buy a lower priced home that could have formerly been afforded by a family with lesser means (thus forcing them to attempt to afford a higher priced property) in a sanctimonious attempt to avoid doing just that.

Ultimately, there is nothing an individual can do to help housing affordability. That is a societal problem.

If you really want to help housing equality, buy ana apartment building, not a house, and add more units
> Studying law isn't practicing law.

And doing side projects isn't practicing the trade that would be regulated if programming was a regulated profession.

> But working full-stress cases outside of your actual work?

Whoever said programming side projects should be “full-stress cases”?
Oh that's fantastic, thanks! I just tried the latest Docker image but saw no way to do that, I'll dig in some more.
It is essentially never how it works. Why would you actively regulate something so people can't move? It is when you abandon rent control that the systems become incompatible and people can't move.
No, but everyone at the bottom of the income ladder would indeed be relatively richer compared with those with higher incomes, in contradiction with the claim I quoted.

Please provide a list of "finished" AAA games that you've played that had less so we can accept your opinion as viable.
> The $20,000+ backers do strike me as crazy, yeah.

I have the same feeling. Yeah, it's a bit crazy to throw so much money at a game. But it is also crazy to throw that much money at a car or any other hobby. But no one blinks an eye. People just say "you've earned it" or "but it's a really nice car" as if that somehow changes the fact that it's just a vanity item which you can throw away in a few years.

I've thrown 45 Dollar at SC. Maybe that's crazy. But I've also thrown more than money at Anthem and that is an AAA game by a well known studio with "proper" management. And so far it didn't turn out really well.
>The strength of organized labor, particularly at Ford in 1914 was weak

It was about seeing off an incipient threat. IWW were quite active at the time. Amazon's goal last year was similar when they raised wages even though they refused to recognize the union.

>Ford's rationale for increasing the wage for his workers as laid out by him, was to make it so every Ford employee could buy a Ford car.

Which was obviously bullshit. The effect employees buying cars could have had on the bottom line was far outstripped by the increased wage bill.

To disk is probably a bad idea but over the wire has some legitimate applications. Being reliant on same endian systems can be alright if for example you're building a distributed computing system where the same binary will be executed on a bunch of systems and all you're doing is sharing computation results between those instances. You do get unrivaled serialization speed that way. Timely Dataflow [1] works that way by default, but it also has an option for "real" serialization if that is required. Admittedly that's a fairly specific application but it's real and sometimes it's a good tradeoff.

>CBP policy allows basic searches without any suspicion of wrongdoing; advanced searches require a "reasonable suspicion of activity in violation of the laws enforced or administered by CBP" or a "national security concern." U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has a similar policy permitting both basic and advanced searches.

I think the argument here is that while the folks protecting the border have broad powers... they still have to be protecting the border when they use them and the "advanced" search requires some level of suspicion / reason.

If say they're sweeping up "advanced" phone data just as a policy or arbitrarily but without much reason beyond that there is an argument that would not fulfill the requirements of the law to do so.

In this case the question seems to be if the "advanced" methods are being used properly.
Also there's a frequent dance with US law where powers provided to various government entities are balanced with the constitution even if the powers provided are specifically allowed.

Perhaps we're talking past each other? To me "training" is different from "onboarding".

"Onboarding" is something that happens quickly and right at the start -- OP links to blogs about building those screens that block the whole UI and point out some buttons. It's something that isn't meant to be all-encompassing. It's something to point out things you wouldn't expect. (That last bit is why I dislike them so much.)

"Training" is something that isn't expected to be fast often continuous from the start. It's meant to be fairly encompassing, as in you should be pretty well versed in something once it's finished -- not an expert, but some experience and understanding of the whole. Training is meant to include things that aren't obvious/you wouldn't expect (e.g. steer into a skid), but is (and I would argue primarily) about building a foundation for the UI and for further training and learning. Training also includes practice.

Yes, vim has a learning curve and breaks what has become the current UI paradigm. However, I'd argue that unless you're just using vim occasionally, you need to be "trained" on it, not "onboarded". That "training" starts with getting the user to understand the UI paradigm, which isn't expected to be quick. By the end of vimtutor, for instance, the modal paradigm and the ability to chain commands together should be clear and practiced.

Driver's licenses take at least 6 months and both a written and practicle test to get initially. Commercial licenses require training from accredited institutions. There is no expectation that this will happen quickly. Driver's training includes practice study (e.g. driving with a licensed person present). Driver's training also included a study of the UI (e.g. signs of similar styling convey similar information, for example green is an information highway sign, white, tall rectangle is a speed limit, and yellow is important such as exit only lane) which is partially tested in the written exam.

Ditto for powerful tools, you're not expected to be told "this unmarked button does this" and be left to your own devices.

These aren't things you could ever "onboard" someone to do. They require actual training.

> If you're pushing an app that I'm already familiar with before I've ever used it, then you are obviously not innovating.

That's very judgemental -- innovation doesn't mean confusing the user. Did Google's original/classic UI mean that it wasn't innovative?

There are applications that I would argue require "training", even if of an informal type. This doesn't mean that someone couldn't poke around in the application and get something done, but they probably won't be able to exploit the application to its fullest. Two example: GIS tools (i.e. require knowledge _about_ GIS, _about_ projects, _about_ UI and spatial concepts) and Video/Photo editing software (i.e. channels, color spaces, types of transforms, &c). Again, you can open QGIS and GIMP and do something meaningful on your first time, but that doesn't mean you won't feel lost or that it'll be easy.
It's one thing to write code with Unicode characters like ≢. That should be fine, and it's not difficult for programming languages to support it. (You could roll your own preprocessing tool).

Doing it with ligatures is not a great idea, because ligatures are a PITA (not always well supported) and add too much incidental complexity.
An overview of a problem that I run into is the need to pair some input, validate that input, query the system based on the input, expose the intermediate stages for inspection and modification by arbitrary consumers, conditionally modify the underlying system in some way, and provide well defined semantics around the outcome while handling failure recovery, distributing the processing into multiple, cancelable stages, and sharing the system context and other forms of memory with concurrent operations.

This sounds like a dream for data analysis.

It has the same risk of investment without the possibility of reward. I think it's a bad deal.
Bezos has to mitigate the cost of turnover somehow. You can mitigate it by reducing it (as Ford did), or you can mitigate by having faster training so new hires are productive faster. Both can fail.

I think we’ll be working in bigger concept “chunks”.

Sort of like Django today but it will intelligently connect the plumbing for you.

For example you’d just select/say, “add a user authentication system to this app” and it would figure out and guess at the best way to do that.

Or “get me something to store the data users enter on this new form” and it would have some smarts to store it in a way that makes sense for your purposes.

You could always drill into what the system creates for you and change things but hopefully most of the time it comes up with something reasonable.
Money is only one kind of investment, regular exercise has a different but still valuable reward.

Getting something that does not exist yet is the payout. Handing over money for say a 1/3 chance of the reward is what separates this from a normal purchase. But, hopefully you understand that risk going in.

Also, the author's follow on implication that Unicode only encodes one version of something that visibly looks the same is also false. It's exactly why we have things like punycode in browser URL bars, and even various "normalization standards" to compare multiple means of encoding similar characters.

Not to mention entire languages that build structure as complex combining sequences, including emoji and its complex ligatures combining the Zero Width Joiner and multiple emoji into single result emoji.

'canonical view' is raw markdown/tex/whatever with text-editing controls. WYSIWYG view is presentation style with rich text editing controls.

this paradigm could carry over to the code itself with projections omitting/adding type annotations, comments, in-lined documentation, maybe even selectively expanding/eliding parts of the code itself i.e. orthogonal aspects like logging

Whether you have "constitutional protections" isn't a boolean state. The second paragraph of the intro covers this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_search_exception

As noted there routine stops within such areas have been upheld, but not searches without a warrant. Presumably the ACLU is looking to broaden those protection to include electronic devices.
That it could have easily been another 50 or 100 or 200 years before some OTHER innovator came along to lead the pack along

Give the fact that Musk didn't start Tesla I don't really understand this comment. Musk has done a great deal to further electric vehicle adoption, but it's not like it's he's the only person in the industry. It obviously wouldn't have taken another 50 years.
That is even more illuminating. They eat primarily unrefined carbs like rice, corn, and plantains, 2400~2700 calories worth of it a day (more than I eat!), and yet they are very healthy and fit. Considering the numbers, it really looks like the difference is the amount of physical activity.

I ride an electric moped in Vienna, Austria, an UNU - and it is really a boring device - goes slow (60km/h max, low torque), but, like you I feel its the future.

Its just so nice to ride something that doesn't pollute.

The moment you realise you're sitting in traffic, and you're the only one not pumping CO2 into the atmosphere, it really change your opinion - I will never, ever go back to internal combustion engines.

Being able to charge at the house - amazing. I never have to go out of my way to fuel up - granted, I do have chargers all over the city if I need it, but the two batteries I use get me all over Vienna every day, with spare to get home with ease.

I wonder what a Tesla moped would look like? IMHO, this would be a greater move for Tesla in Europe - where mopeds just plain work.

Either way, I'm never going back to gas. Its just that great.
Do you honestly believe you can onboard someone to electronic circuit design software, by having a bunch of annoying modal boxes popping up showing you where some key features are? I agree there is complicated software, but that isn't made less complicated by silly onboarding. And if your software is not complicated, you're just pissing people off having to click away from all that junk. If it's not complicated, but confusing, that's a UI design issue that will not be solved by a 3 minute intro.

Yup. I agree about work life balance and not letting your profession consume you. On the other hand "real professions" do have continuing education outside of work, and it does seem to suck. Takes similar, or even more hours than personal coding, and it's probably less enjoyable. There's an argument that programmers should be treated more like licensed professionals, be more liable for mistakes due to negligence, and have more demands placed on them.
