Yeah I bought a CX-5 recently and could write a case study on how to infuriate your users in every way possible. I like the car in general, but their infotainment would have been a dealbreaker if they didn't have Android Auto support. Even then it's pretty bad. Can't even get to your phone's voice assistant via their system, even though my $18 bluetooth handsfree in my old car could.
That's frustrating. My LG smart TV is one click away from Netflix and Amazon, and I've got mapped buttons to YouTube and google play - it's a half second away, and there are no built in advertising channels. The worst we have is occasionally we need to exit out of whatever Netflix or Amazon stream we're on and go back in.
Yes. In all seriousness, this is a "drop everything and patch" situation, as soon as the patches are available.

It's a little bit more involved than a ping of death, but still, relatively easy to exploit.

In my opinion software development is less about what specific developers want to spend their time on, and more about producing solid software.

Does not spending time on boilerplate improve the quality of software you produce? I find that it doesn't.

Get a good A/V receiver or soundbar (TV speakers were always second-rate, and flat-screen speakers are uniformly terrible) that can handle HDMI switching and powering your TV on & off, and get a display marketed as "commercial signage". Commercial signage displays are usually more expensive (and are rated for more screen-hours), and lack the smart junk that this article is talking about.

I think the data here are unfortunately pretty hard to interpret, in part because:

- it's not clear if summer salary is included. Most tenure-track faculty in the U.S. are on a nine-month contract (sometimes paid out over nine months, and sometimes over 12), and this "salary" notionally comes from tuition or the state government. But many faculty in the sciences and engineering are also paid a "summary salary" that comes out of grant funding (typically grant funding that the faculty member participated in raising) or from the startup funding provided by the university to new faculty. This can increase a professor's total annual cash compensation by 33%.

- this is looking at salaries of public universities in one state.

- there can be a huge variation between disciplines (e.g. history vs. computer science vs. law vs. medicine) or between seniorities. Also between tenure-track faculty and everybody else (adjuncts, lecturers and instructors, teaching-track professors).

- professors often go on leave or otherwise aren't fully paid throughout the year, which can distort the average per-capita figures.

- professors in high cost-of-living areas sometimes receive important non-cash compensation from the univeresity, e.g. the university will provide below-market-rate rental apartments or originate mortgages.

- professors in law and engineering typically have other ways to make money that aren't generally afforded to other private-sector employees, e.g. professors receive "consulting privileges" (the lawyers can do legal work in private practice, and professors can consult n days per year), and they personally receive around 30% of the patent revenue that the university collects (for patents invented by the professor in their academic work and assigned to the university), etc.

One data point: I am an assistant professor (the lowest tenure-track rank) for a large private university in the U.S. in an engineering department in a high cost-of-living area, and my pre-tax cash compensation from the university is more than $225,000/year, included my summer salary that comes out of my grants, but not including the FMV of the below-market-rate mortgage benefit that the university offers to faculty and not counting consulting on the side. So not close to industry money, but a lot higher than the numbers in this article and higher than I think most people realize a junior engineering professor can make.

There are tools like sqlacodegen [1] to generate the model code from the database and liquibase [2] for migrations and diffing.

> And I just don't see any benefits for us with the database-first approach.

The main motivation for this is that the database is likely to outlive the application code and you will get a cleaner database design than what the ORM would generate for you [3].

> For context, we have 1 database/schema shared by multiple projects.

Sounds like trouble to me. Is there a reason for this design? Normally each project should have its own database.

A lock on your door is obviously insecure, but can work because it introduces friction for the burglar, while there are other targets around. It's a similar principle at work for online security. Some amount of protection coupled with the statistical likelihood of being targeted already goes a long way.
A lot of people have commented about plastic just being cheaper, etc., but the core aspect is that glass is simply very heavy for the volume contained, and requires greater care when handling at all stages of the use process. Shipping all that extra weight has real carbon consequences as well.

Anyone who spends at most one hour eating in a 24 hour cycle fasts 23 hours a day or more. I don't think it's that uncommon.

Suppose you eat four meals a day, of around 2000 kcal each. That's 23 hours of fasting.

It's not the amount of time you spend or don't spend eating that matters; it's the calories. Thousands of calories can be quaffed down in minutes or even seconds, by a fast eater.

Especially with how high-resolution touchscreens in cars are becoming in new models, I doubt they're cheaper than a handful of plastic knobs and buttons.

Every modern car is going to have an infotainment system with a screen. A better question would be whether it is cheaper to have a touch version of that screen or to have buttons for the interface. I suspect that touch would be cheaper than buttons.

Average age of cars on the road is 11 years vs 8 years in the 90s...which means cars are on average lasting 37.5% longer than 20 years ago. And that might be a lagging indicator.
The dragon with its hoard of gold (private user data) is a great description of Facebook and Google's regulatory goals. As Maciej has also put it, "privacy is an essential right — your most intimate moments should be kept strictly between you and Google".

The terror that could be unleashed by their already existing hoard is almost unimaginable. For all the concern about rising authoritarian politics, few have figured out how bad it would be for the future equivalent of the Gestapo or the Red Guard (pick your country) to get a hold of a decades long dump of medical and financial data, metadata on relationships, posting history, browsing and location history, behavioral fingerprints, stylometry, device IDs, reading history, private photos, and on and on. The tech industry's "vow" to not create a Muslim registry for the US government had a touch of absurdity to it, since there are already companies that could plausibly give you a list of almost all Muslims in the US with a few queries, along with far more personal information than any census or registry has ever asked for.

I’m a runner also...depends what you mean by long distances, but I’d promote becoming fat adapted and running in ketosis.

I’ve done a full marathon with no fuel (hydration only) in ketosis, pretty awesome and much better than my glucose/gu runs...of course I’ve had some amazing long runs out of ketosis but at certain distances the fueling is a real battle and a battle I’ve lost from time to time. I don’t think there is a good answer for fueling long distances that will work for everyone it’s all about personal experimentation and adaptation.

The NP in this story is one of the people that fucked up. A, because she should have sent them to the ED. B, because hospitalists have nothing to do with the ED, and she was trying to /bypass/ the ED. C, because she didn't need her supervising physician's permission to send the patient to the ED. D, just for kicks, diabetes absolutely causes a white count bump, especially during uncontrolled episodes, with the degree of one correlating to the other - something every med student is expected to know, and it's ridiculous that the NP didn't.

"Legally motivated to do the right thing"? She's significantly more guilty than the hospitalist, who is a red-herring in this entire discussion ("I'm not the ED attending. Send her to the ED. The ED attending decides who gets admitted for non-elective admissions. Also, she might need urgent care, so she shouldn't wait the 12-24 hours hold-up that would occur if I admitted her directly." would have been the response of any hospitalist I've worked with) and yet he's vulnerable to a malpractice suit, and the NP is not. What legal motivation?

"Apple Workgroup Server 95" is a Mac model, not a rebranding of the OS as the author claims.

I mention this because, per Apple sales literature[1], the version of A/UX that shipped with that machine was "highly tuned", presumably for the 68040-based Workgroup Server 95 — basically a Quadra 950 — and this may be why he initially had trouble installing what his screenshots suggest was a copy of A/UX 3.0.1 from the Workgroup Server software bundle on an SE/30, which is a 68030 machine with a considerably older architecture.

While I'm not at all familiar with A/UX, it's certainly true that, historically, it was not unusual for bundled copies of Mac OS to be at least somewhat model-specific.

In other words, when resurrecting older Mac models, use retail OS media when possible. The obvious "impossible" case is when you want to install an OS that shipped before the model in question, as retail media will often lack necessary hardware support that would have been slipstreamed into bundled copies.

I’m looking at the Underemployment vs Unemployment of Recent College Grads graph, and then the following graph of Unemployment of Young Workers vs Recent Grads and they seem like they should share one of the curves in common, but the graphs are different?

Underemployment rates for non-farm jobs in the US, 2005–2018 — Unemployment of Recent Grads

Vs

Unemployment rates for non-farm jobs in the US, 2005–2018 — Recent Graduates

The drop in the Unemployment rate for “All Young Workers” since 2011 however is staggering.

IMO a non-dischargable loan should have a correspondingly extremely low interest rate, but I think there has to be a bright line drawn at forgiving principal except in the case of fraud on the part of the educator or the loan servicer.
I like a keyboard better than a touchscreen for writing text, and I like a keyboard with mechanical switches better than one with membrane switches. More expensive, yes, but the user experience is very much better.

One of the primary advantages is that I can usually find the key I want without looking down at the labels.

In a car, I want tactile clickiness in mechanical or electromechanical controls. I even want rocker or throw switches, instead of buttons that light up an LED to indicate their state. And that means if the state changes in software, a solenoid or motor is going to have to flip the physical state too.

Touchscreens, despite having "touch" in the name, are strictly inferior for finger-based inputs. They're more "screen" than "touch".
stop-and-go on a freeway during the day (e.g., rush hour) is probably the safest and easiest set of real conditions for self-driving. speed is low on average and the opportunities for surprise are limited, as you likely won't meet other objects unexpectedly going much faster or slower than you.
> They have 2. One for power and one for data.

I don't think I've ever seen a touch screen with only two wires. For one thing, even power requires two wires, not one. Data for a touch screen typically requires more than one wire as well, especially considering there are two completely distinct types of data a touchscreen must transmit, those being display output and touch input.

Most touch screens I'm aware of have wire connections more like this:

https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-2-4-color-tft-touchscree...

> Usually they're replacing a lot more than 2 buttons/knobs.

Not usually. Other than the Tesla, most cars retain almost all of their knobs/buttons in addition to the touch screen. In fact, the linked article in the OP says they're basically replacing the touch screen input with a single volume knob that lets you additional tilt and push it. Other cars, like BMW with the iDrive, usually have a single knob that lets you rotate and scroll through menus and push to select. Granted, it's not a simple knob, since it requires multiple degrees of input, but even a plastic knob that allows rotating, tilting, and pushing is probably cheaper than a touch screen when shared across models and mass produced.

I still think the bigger savings is probably the software updates required to constantly support and make your vehicle's physical input compatible with every new update of Android Auto and Apple Car Play, which the auto-makers have no control over and can only ever play catch-up. At least with a touch screen, they know that's where the Android and Apple engineers spend their own time making compatible.

The other place it probably saves is designing and laying out the interior, since it's easier to design an interior with fewer purpose-focused inputs. I'm not sure though if the touch screen would actually be easier though, since it can't be broken up across different small areas, and the entire thing has to be within both reach and active field of view. Especially the screens on top of the dash, since those often are designed to retract, which means the space they retract into needs to be designed around the HVAC and electrical systems between the firewall and dash.

Either way, both of these savings though would be on the design and engineering side, not the bill of materials.
> How much can you sell it for? A dollar? 10 dollars

When we were a Nielsen family they would include something like $4 in cash in each week's mailing as a gift. That's on top of the cost of producing the surveys, mailing costs, transcribing the viewing records, assembling the results, and then all the marketing efforts to the networks to convince them this data is valuable. It must cost at least $50 per family per month for their viewing data, which has at least a week latency before it can be known, and is probably always inaccurate.

Smart TV viewing data on the other hand is completely accurate and instantaneous. So just for the show viewing data to assemble more accurate ratings it's probably worth more than $10 per week/$520 a year. But that's only one sort of data that is being collected and one sort of service provided. Nielsen doesn't sell information to advertisers about a specific known family's interests, or to allow narrowly targeted ads. But Vizio is able to sell that possibility. Do they make $500 a year off of each connected TV? $1000? Even if only $150, over four years that's $600.

I recently bought a 4K HDR smart TV for $199. It was a significant upgrade to my previous TV. The panel itself costs more than the TV. In fact buying a HDMI monitor of comparable size and resolution, without a receiver or smart functions, runs over $2000. It's possible these TVs are being sold with up to a 90% up front subsidy of the cost because the economic value of voluntarily placing such a powerful surveillance device and accepting the mandatory click through contract is a lot more than $1800. Similar to cell phone economics. I bought a brand new no-contract pay-as-you-go iPhone for $99. It definitely cost more than that to manufacture. How can they sell it for this price? We know. Because if I do use it, it's locked to one carrier and I have to buy refresh cards from them. I have no obligation to ever activate it, but most buyers do so, and the carrier will then in most cases make back their subsidy manyfold. Same for the $10 no-contract Android phone I bought before this. Both are good phones. Both cost way more to make than I paid new, as with the Smart TV.

I can do that and hook up a box, but I have to pay for that box and I already paid for a TV that is supposed to have the functionality of the box.
