“The guy actually says that he's been directly influenced by the (PR-driven, because that's how this works) information that he was provided by Audi.”

Another way to say that is to point out that the author/regurgitator has responsibly disclosed the source of the information so that we may judge for ourselves whether it is interesting.

As I pointed out in another thread, I think we all agree that this is planted, the question is whether it is still interesting to read and/or use as an excuse for a discussion.
It is easier to develop high quality app for iOS than Android.

With iOS, there are only relatively few different devices, they behave almost the same and most of the users are running up to date OS. On the other hand, there are too many Android devices to test your app with, many of them are buggy in unique ways (especially some models from Samsung and Huawei, and you can't ignore those because they have largest market shares), and on top of that manufacturers generally don't port new Android releases to old devices, so you have to support old APIs if you want to reach most Android users.

Sometimes our users complain that we spend all of our resources supporting iOS, Windows and OS X and Android support is just a second thought. In reality we spend most of our time on Android and it's still the worst.

Thank you for the fun story!
The key here is 'unnecessarily'. If it it works just as well on an AMD CPU it should be enabled on an AMD CPU regardless of who submitted it.
It's not impossible to fix. Australia did it.
You’re more likely to be murdered in the U.S. than to be killed in a traffic accident in the Netherlands.

My point being, there is a lot of room for improvement in _both_ numbers.
Any information on the team size or future funding ?

Watching an independent project take off is inspiring. But back-end infra structure really needs longevity. (yes, it is OSS and thats great, but not sufficient)
A similar idea for JS canvas 'art' - https://www.dwitter.net/
I’ve used both android (2010-2015) and iphone (2015-2019) and I have to say, android has higher quality apps. Apple’s walled garden is not preventing low effort, low quality apps from flooding the store. The more restrictive userspace APIs really hurt a lot of useful functionality and having to pay upfront to develop, let alone distribute apps deters many excellent softwares (talk to someone else about the wonders of FOSS). I would say you have to be more careful with android, but I’m not sure that’s really the case since apple store apps are very often “dangerous”.
Working in a quite popular b2b betting company. TcL is used for much of the backend and development is still active today. Expect is used , too.
The US also has automatic "papers please" now with the verification of social media accounts.
I use pass and use a free Google instance to run git to which it's synced. I sync using git to all devices. The git database is also synced to Amazon drive periodically.

So the passwords in pass itself are protected by gpg. The Google instance is protected using ssh. Amazon drive is protected using 2-factor auth.

No single cloud provider can get at the passwords, but the password database is backed up at multiple locations.
I would bet ssijak thinks in MWI, where observation is not a separate thing from interaction and there is no such thing as "counting as an observation" in physical reality.

The "observations" that other interpretations cause endless confusion about are simply interactions between the observed system and the observer, but "observed system" and "observer" are concepts without a corresponding physically reality. They're simply labels assigned by humans.
> I came across a comment in google base libraries that said "This is faster because cache line is 32 bytes".

You would want to ban that sort of comment?

If you see a piece of code written oddly, then someone telling you why they wrote it that way is very helpful. If later you have to refactor it then it's doubly nice to know the reason it was written that way doesn't apply any more.

I suspect your problem is with pre-mature optimisation rather than commenting, and if so I imagine the majority of programmers would share your views. But if that is the case banning comments that make it plain something may have been pre-maturely optimised doesn't seem like a good way of solving the problem.

Call me back when they have four years of proven track record to properly maintain a decent software stack including over-the-air updates... I won't buy a car which needs to be driven to a service or worse to an authorized dealership for a software upgrade.
A car sold today is more likely than not to still be on the road in 2030. Meeting our 2030 goals would be a lot easier if the majority of cars sold this year were zero-emissions world-wide.
I will never use any cloud based PM.

The biggest issue for me is transparency and complexity, most of them are just as "blackbox" as any other service.

I am using KeePassX with git + gpg on my own server for extra encryption and sync, this solution is simple and future-proof.

and I might switch to my own script in future, dir + txt + git + gpg should be enough.

Need a random password? cat /dev/urandom | base64 | cut 1-64

Grouping? Just different directories.

Please also remember, there is no cloud, just other people's computer.
I certainly don’t see that those are the only roles for women. But in a situation there it’s a 70 year old man/woman with a 25 year old who is not their spouse, I think those are the most likely options. The game also includes being able to rule out other relationship types just based on observation.

It’s also worth noting that these aren’t absolute characterizations but probabilistic. In no part of the game am I making some belief that the young women must be one or the other. But sadly/comically usually old rich dudes with young women who aren’t their daughter and they are acting romantically, it’s usually a prostitute, hopefully a consenting one.

It’s quite possible that I’m wrong in that maybe they’re married without rings or whatnot, but there’s no harm as they don’t know I’m going through this thought exercise, and I’ll rarely know if I guess right.
...which coincidentally is also where almost all the money is.

The average computer user doesn't buy anything. They use whatever software they need for work (which is B2B by extension) and whatever came pre-installed on their machine.

Even if you have a really simple app that's been designed to perfection and solves their exact problem, they will complain about paying more than a couple of dollars.

Maybe if you have a "the user is the product" type of business, simple and focused is really the way to go. Otherwise, beware.

That's an interesting approach and might work, thanks!
This tends to be true in case of consumer products and tend to be not true in case of professional products.
Google search is simple, Google AdWords is not, and never was.
You cannot create a professional 3D modeling software, photo editing software, IDE, video editing software without starting relatively complex. Professionals need to use quite a lot of sophisticated features to be productive. The learning curve is less of a concern in a professional setting.
(I kind of know it because I have been working on a VR 3D modeler for a while. To create a professional-grade software the barrier to entry is quite high, so small developers try to create simple-to-use consumer, hobby-ist, products. I am creating a hobby-ist product, which is already much more complex than a consumer product.) If you look at reviews of the smaller products, the overwhelming majority of criticism is lack of features.
None of that is a problem if you accept MWI.

The mental benefit of MWI is that instead of worrying about both entanglement and observation/wave function collapse, you only need to worry about entanglement because what Copenhagen describes as collapse is really just entanglement of the observed system with the observer.
Pretty similarly, OSX's calculator (at least in 10.11) has a "2nd" / shifted layout with inverses:https://imgur.com/a/xFUKxwP
I'd counter argue that it's maybe not that bad to have proven, formally validated software in the field, which is what traditional software developers in the automotive sectors did for decades. You tend to push out less crap if you are forced to make sure it works well from the start due to lack of updates.

At least the German Automotive industry relies very much on formal verification and model driven development for this reason.
Politics is all about hitting the right shade of gray; however if we follow the logic there all the way through we'd tax negative externalities and subsidise positive externalities; likely leading to a massive subsidy for fossil fuels. I know 'tax them!' is probably something of the realistic compromise solution but that justification has more holes than Swiss cheese.

Taxing the externalities also suggests we know how to measure how bad they are in some quantitative way and it is commonly accepted knowledge that the political process can implement in a law. Both of those assumptions are incorrect.

I'm basically arguing for 'tax them because we don't like this specific type of pollution' rather than trying to generalise into vague language. The generalisation doesn't hold.
You have to consider that if a car becomes attractive only after a country removes the 25% VAT on it and then taxes competing products (ICE) up to 100% then the business model of the classic manufacturers still very much makes sense everywhere else in the world where this isn’t the case.

So depending on how you pick and choose the data you want to consider you can paint absolutely any picture you want.

What’s your personal take on why people would go for other new cars that don’t match even a 7 year old model but cost the same(ish)?
There’s nothing wrong with dropping the clock speed when the whole point of SIMD instructions is that they execute on multiple data. As long as the clock speed drop beats the multiplicative speedup from doing 4x/8x/whatever operations in parallel, it’s fine
And usually, organic doesn’t mean that it is more healthy for the consumer. It just means it was produced according to some rules that protect the environment somewhat.

I'm just glad I went to a very traditional uni that didn't do this essay stuff. We had tutorials, open note exams, and final year project reports.

Not much of that can be bought from outside and even if you did it wouldn't help you much because it all had to be defended in a viva voce.

I suppose you could buy the notes but the final quantum mechanics exam was pretty much of the character take what you have studied and answer questions that had not been discussed in the course. If you weren't familiar with the notes then I think you would have struggled as in fact many of my contemporaries did.

Well my tutor did assign me a project to be done in the long vacation after my second year but he didn't 'mark' it, we discussed it and I had to defend my conclusions. It didn't affect any grades anyway because the uni didn't do grades. There were end of year exams to check that you were keeping up but the class of your degree depended only on the final and the final year project report and its associated viva.
There are plenty of resources but probably in book form. My first Linux book had an intro to Tcl/tk. I disagree with the op that tcl/tk is not dead. Yeah it still exists but it is rarely used and younger systems programmers/Admins never had to use it. It was a bit of a stop gap solution to create GUIs when there was rarely any.
The expect functionality though it completely replaced by pexpect so it makes little sense to learn tcl/tk for such a use.
I’ve been of this thinking for a while, but have read that small scale carbon tax tests have not yielded positive results. I still don’t understand how that could be, but I’m not a macroeconomics expert.
tanh and arctan are different functions.
Since tan was the example, we could remove cosine and tangent, and leave only sine, since the others can be computed from sine easily. It will be enough in a pinch.

tan x = sin x / cos x
cos x = sin π/2 - x

The benefit of organic is the presumed lower amounts of pesticide and herbicide residues in the product, hence some tiny lessening of the probability of getting cancer. Some would also assert that the products have better nutritional values, but this seems very marginal and unlikely.

On the other hand, the amount of energy used to grow, process and distribute the product is likely to be higher than for non-organic due to less efficient fertilization, more cultivation, lower yields due to pests, and smaller-scale production units.

In my opinion even your suggestions are steeped in ignorance. Education is not the be all end all.

Not everyone wants to be in STEM or be highly educated. Some want to work with their hands.

> Please look up hard-data.

Do you mean data from all the studies covered in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defensive_gun_use that seem to come loaded with critizism and are from the 90s?

If we're just pulling random studies to prove our point I'd like to point out https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jels.12219 as covered in https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-06-11/-more-... which seems to disbunk this whole "good guy with a gun" thing.

> Compared to what number? 35-40,000 deaths per year involving guns? And of those, 20-30,000 are suicides.

Yeah that's not nothing and all these numbers could likely be lowered in the long run by proper gun legislation as evidenced by other countries that chose to actually do something about it. You're for the second amendment protections on gun use and that's alright but please, let's not pretend that the majority of numbers actually mean anything in these discussions.
Countries have different belief systems and thus are different. The U.K. has a queen, with the best real estate in the country set aside for personal use.

While that seems really inefficient to me as a Frenchperson, I understand that British people like it.

I’ve categorized this in the category of things that I’ve noticed but am not interested in enough to work toward the explanation, but if I ever learn it I’ll remark “hmm, that’s neat, I never knew that.”
> Some people are delighted by additional features, others by thoughtful design.

UX designers in particular are delighted by thoughtful design. You want to avoid an "inmates running the asylum" kind of situation.
Looks great, thank you very much. I posted a link to your reply under an issue on GitHub.
I recently wrote this to someone who was thinking of learning Pico-8 (a very minimal game engine) I was saying they should just learn Unity instead.

...

Something like Pico-8 reminds me of a program from my days as an architect.
Sketchup, it was a very intuitive 3d modelling program aimed at architects, it was very easy to learn, but once you've got the hang of it you start running into all sorts of limitations, like the initially lovely UI becomes a total mess when u have a big and / or complex model, it performs really bad, it cant do proper renders at all, and so on. In the end, after struggling with Sketchups limitations I just learned 3DSmax It could do everything Sketchup could do + soooooo much more, the learning curve was much steeper at the very start, but afterwards, working with it was much easier and faster, and allowed me to do a lot more. I would have been much better off if I had started with 3DSMAX, as opposed to wasting time struggling with Sketchup trying to get it to do stuff it couldnt.
I'm not sure it is even worth it to distinguish by CPU model. My hunch is that the optimizations the compiler does for a specific model are vastly overshadowed by the gains of having certain extensions available at all. So glibc should only distinguish by avx512, sse4.2, etc. usually a CPU that has a newer extension available also has all of the older ones, the question is how many exceptions would arise, and what the speed penalty would be to fall back to the next slower implementation.
They wont pay out? Then let's beach them again
> Great products do what is relevant, but better.

I once got into an argument with someone (not a designer) about adding an "export" feature to a table UI. It was an easy feature to add, but the argument against it was that it was yet another rarely used button, that further crowded the UI. And further, users shouldn't need to export because they should be able to do everything they needed from within the app.

I was sympathetic to these arguments, especially the second. But many customers repeatedly asked for the export feature. We spoke to several and explained they could do what they needed without exporting, but even after that, they still wanted a "file" they could manipulate.

I won, and we added the export feature, and many other smallish features like it. Even though I love a minimalist design and look and feel, it shouldn't come at the expense of features. And in the end, our designers made it unobtrusive and kept it elegant.

Good design is not about deconstructing things just for simplicity's sake, but to expose the complexity in a way that feels natural.
This example made the point unbeknownst to the author.

I think he is just too sensational. Is this guy doing actual engineering?

From whomever I talked, I hear the same: Tesla's engineering leaves mixed impressions.

One can say that the range is definitely good - Tesla scores very high in getting most range out of kw/h. But things like poor metalworking would be a recall worthy flaw for every other automaker.

For the interior, Model S feels way too American. Compare its interior and an actual luxury car, like a maxed out Benz S600.

Its engineering in overall is nothing groundbreaking, and saying that EVs are way more straightforward to engineer is true. Telsa just stands out as one EV maker that didn't make some "showstopper" omissions, unlike almost every other competitor.

Chinese and Japanese EVs are dead on arrival in US because most of them are really small for Americans... If an American buys an expensive car, it will most likely be a BIG car.

Poor driveabiliy chases other competitors. There are simply not so many makers with experience making 2.5t+ full sized sedans, nor compact car makers which can make a compact car suspension not to croak under 1.7t+ curb weight.

NIO for examples despite making a quite marketable SUV for China was delayed launch for 2 years because their first attempt at making SUV got so much bad reviews from test drivers, that they had to near completely redesign the body and suspension twice. Reportedly, after finding out that live axle is a completely inadequate for a 2t+ vehicle, and that unibody design can't handle the weight of a battery pack.

Leaf had both tiny battery, poor chemistry, and poor thermals.

Bolt - all bad things you normally expect from a US car maker other than Ford.

And so on.
Counterpoint: Joel Spolsky's "Bloatware and the 80/20 myth" from 2001.

> Unfortunately, it’s never the same 20%. Everybody uses a different set of features. In the last 10 years I have probably heard of dozens of companies who, determined not to learn from each other, tried to release “lite” word processors that only implement 20% of the features. This story is as old as the PC. Most of the time, what happens is that they give their program to a journalist to review, and the journalist reviews it by writing their review using the new word processor, and then the journalist tries to find the “word count” feature which they need because most journalists have precise word count requirements, and it’s not there, because it’s in the “80% that nobody uses,” and the journalist ends up writing a story that attempts to claim simultaneously that lite programs are good, bloat is bad, and I can’t use this damn thing ’cause it won’t count my words. If I had a dollar for every time this has happened I would be very happy.

Audio jack has this problem that it shorts contacts during insertion/removal. It wouldn't be compliant with EMI too.
The primary reason for a need for guns is to retain the ability for a violent uprising to overthrow an oppressive regime should one arise. One of the benefits of the American system is that it does not assume infinite beneficence and eternal benevolence on the part of the governing body. This is wise because we know history. It doesn't make sense to fear being shot simply because many people own guns. If it did, then it would make sense to be in constant fear of vehicular homicide because automobiles are everywhere. It is not possible to make it impossible for people to harm or kill one another. Humans are hard to keep alive, not to kill. What protects you is not the inability of your neighbors to kill you - they all can, and easily - or the legal system, it is social and the philosophical outlook of those around you. Those factors are scary to people so they often pretend to not see them, but they're really the only protection humans can ever have and it is what they actually rely upon to determine if they 'feel safe.'
