I focussed mostly on the jobs thing. But Internet has brought many other great things to the world so I think it is a bit myopic to just focus on the "hire cheaper workers" thing. Just the fact that you can communicate your opinions to me while we both are sitting somewhere totally different is the power of internet. It brings plenty of good. Some bad, sure. If not for internet, I would probably never talk to you and not exchange our different perspectives.

Yet every time I've stumbled upon XML in the past decade or so It's been used as a data format because it's easy to manage and supported by every platform/tool out there. But sure, let's switch over to JSON or use a SQL database because we can't deal with the fact that XML might be better suited for something that it wasn't originally designed for.
I love the quote I originally saw on the Nokogiri (Ruby XML lib) site:

"XML is like violence – if it doesn’t solve your problems, you are not using enough of it."
Tesla isn't hiding the fact, that production for oversea customers is done in the first month of a quarter, so the cars can be delivered in that quarter. Easy to imagine what the reporting would be, if they had large amounts of "unsold" cars in transit at the and of a quarter.
Yes. Let's rephrase the idea a little more formally.

Few hypotheses are necessary for a thought experiment that reproduces the issue.

Given a project:

* some people/teams produce accurate estimates

* some people/teams produce overly optimistic estimates

If decision-maker is not aware, it can easily conflate optimistic estimate with a more efficient team (or just more enticing).

If the possibility of overly optimistic estimates are not taken seriously, the more accurate team can seem just less efficient / lazy / trying to charge more for the same work / etc. For example if the decision-maker is actually a client comparing several suppliers.

Extra risk if decision-making is diluted among many people (harder to get clear and consistent view).

This puts the teams in a competition similar to the prisoner's dilemma. Honest estimates get punished, treacherous estimates are favored. No wonder so many projects are over-budget, when they are not too over-budget to complete at all.

The only actual hypothesis here is: "decision-maker conflating optimistic estimates with better value". It seems very common. If decision-maker doesn't fall into this trap, the problem disappears, right?

What can we do to shift the equilibrium? A manifesto?

Cyclists already pay for their infrastructure and then some. Why do you want them to subsidize drivers more than they already do? Why do you want to incentivize a form of transportation that's more polluting and dangerous and expensive for everyone involved?

You're not going to make significant revenue off of bikes, and in any case switching trips to bikes saves cities money. If more money is needed for infrastructure in general, that's what property and sales and income taxes are for.

I have always thought that using XML as a format for storing and retrieving configuration files, was complete insanity.

Which is why I still use the simple, effective, INI format for configuration files for applications I write.

They want to sell internationally so that the market is there and distribution is ready globally as their production capacity increases.

They also need to make enough money to be cash flow positive while they continue down the manufacturing learning curve.

Those are two good reasons why you can’t just keep all your supply in the US even if the demand could cover your production.

GF3 is online in Q4 and Tesla will no longer ship any US units into China as of a couple weeks ago. All that Fremont production that had been shipping to China will revert to EU/US going forward.

We sent an MR to Gitlab 1.5 years ago (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/merge_requests/156...) implementing our open-source analytics tool to their app and letting the system administrators opt-in to this feature if they want to analyze their user behavior but it looks like Gitlab wanted to implement a centralized user tracking feature for themselves instead.

However, given that most of the Gitlab customers / open-source community cares about their privacy and want to have the control (well, that's probably why they switched to Gitlab from other products), I wonder why they wanted to follow this approach in the first place. The good thing is that they almost always know how to take action when their community reacts.

Also, one bit of advice I have found true in most states (but NYC may be different). Avoid home owners associations (HOA), they are almost always the death of a successful venture. I have only one property left in an HOA and we have been trying to sell it for 2 years but the HOA is known as an activist HOA so selling in that neighborhood, even at a discount, is hard. HOA's make rentals really hard, make flipping hard and drive the costs of everything up. And most investors will tell you the place you make money in real estate is in the older neighborhoods which are established, free of HOA's and are either being revitalized or have been already.

Townhomes and Condo's are a little different because you will always have a board for those, and I have had some good luck with Condo's but in general I avoid anything where another entity besides the local city/county can dictate what I can or cannot do.
The US sales decline is a non story.

However, "production constrained" is not really accurate, as it implies they could sell more units for the same price if they could make them.

Tesla has bumped down the price many times, suggesting they're selling their whole inventory for the highest price they think they can get (which is still a great position to be in if that price is high enough).

The demand for the higher trims in the US has hit steady state, and it's less than they can make.

If they stuck with the launch prices and their revenue was 10% higher with no corresponding increase to COGS, they'd be laughing all the way to the bank. Every single quarter would be profitable and absurdly cash flow positive.

XML for config files is utter madness.

Why use XML when INI files are way easier to read, and especially edit if needs be?

Just the sort of thing you would think of as 'documents'--the texts of books, manuscripts, and the like, where structure may be somewhat arbitrary. For instance, I work with a few different text corpuses--one of which is an actual dictionary, with entries, definitions, usage examples, etymological information, and bibliographic references. Another is a collection of poetry manuscripts, with annotations for line breaks and editorial emendations, both from the author and other editors (i.e, places in the manuscript with crossouts, interlineal notes, marginal notes, etc).

I mean, in theory, you could do this in JSON or some other data structure. But you would go insane and be shooting yourself in the head before long.

I think that Software Engineers should take influence from Authors (after all, are we not all craftsmen/artisans?) and incorporate the philosophies from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_the_Author

The idea, for those not familiar, is that once a work of art is published (a novel, a poem, a song, a painting), it speaks for itself, and authorial intent no longer matters.

That is, meaning and purpose are in the eye of the beholder/consumer. And there is no right or wrong way to "interpret" art. If someone finds meaning that the author did not intend, it is just as valid as a deeply hidden but intentional allegory they intentionally placed in when they were writing.

The relevance to software is it applies to APIs, specifications, standards and formats.

There is no such thing as users using your software or specification "wrong" - if they insist on doing so, the meaning has evolved. Evolve with it or die.
That's nothing, wait until you meet people that train jiu jitsu.
I've had to do the reverse... building an accessible application meeting specification requirements because it's used by government bodies. On the flip side, the core functionality of the application (reviewing scanned documents) requires a sighted person to use it.

It really does and should be determined by the specific use case. Yes, most sites should be and many are pretty accessible by default. Using Axe, Wave, Lighthouse and other tools is easy enough and should absolutely be done as part of a web application's development. That doesn't mean that everyone who doesn't do it is someone who should be ostracized and cancelled by reactionary mobs.
An employee comment in the relevant merge request indicates that they are already knowing non-compliant with the GDPR. While I applaud their openness I wonder if this will comeback to bite them.
> I still think bulldozing 3% of a city’s built environment in 5 years time seems extremely unlikely, but YMMV.

Having the average age of replacement of a building be at 150 years old would result in approximately 3% of the city being replaced every 5 years. That seems a bit long to me, but within reasonable expectations. I would expect to see more than 3% of the city replaced every 5 years.

> Tmux config is surprisingly unintuitive.

And sometimes you get some stray tmux process running in the background that somehow blocks it from updating the configuration until you find and kill every running tmux process. Really annoying.
The only way to know this would be if you read the entire discussion across 2+ threads on the Gitlab site for their event tracking MR. Basically this whole shit show started as so:

* Gitlab previously used 3rd party infrastructure for their user event tracking

* They did not send this 3rd party user id for GDPR and other reasons

* Because they did not have user id, they could not understand user behavior across sessions. Understanding user behavior across sessions is important, so they wanted to add it.

* Gitlab had just finished moving their event tracking infrastructure in house.

* The original MR was to add user id as an attribute to their event tracking

What proceeded was what I consider a very reasonable back and forth between data, infrastructure, and legal on the correct way to add user id. But somewhere along the line it went off the rails. How it turned from simply adding user id into including Pendo JS tags for on-prem customers, I have no idea.
I have seen UNIX (I think it was already named AIX) running on a 4341 and played with it a little from a 3278 terminal. There were a couple layers of translation from the TTY to the 3270, but it, overall, felt like a high-latency/high-bandwidth connection.

It was not this configuration, as the 3278's were connected to a 3274 and nobody mentioned a System/1.

I was, perhaps, 16 or 17, so it just could be that the salespeople on the booth were not taking me seriously.

Someone should preserve this software.

Epic is a better store for game creators.

It's about on par with or better than what Steam was when it first launched. Steam was an absolute clusterfuck when it first launched, and Valve only got away with it because they tied Half Life 2 to Steam.

Note that if you enforce this for all side loaded apps are turning Android closer to the walled garden that is iOS.

There are already many legitimate apps distributed outside of Google Play for various reasons, such as weird Google policies or simply being booted out with no or spurious reason & the developer not being able to ever reach a human to fix this.

So be careful what you wish for.
If that were the motivation, the publisher would sell on both platforms and just charge more on Steam due to the markup. That is never what happens. Epic is locking content creators into exclusive contracts, because their business model requires on-boarding tons of users onto their platform and they are willing the throw cash at the problem. Steam does not monopolize games. You can usually download them directly from the publisher and other retailers like Humble Bundle. Epic is uniquely hoarding high-profile releases. Unfortunately they are also providing a sub-par user experience, which is what a lot of the negativity stems from.
How do you prove this? What if they start randomizing?

What's worse is that you can end up with multiple copies of the Safari app running. This is very confusing, and breaks the fundamental "tap Safari to open Safari" because it doesn't always open the correct one. Android avoids this.

On Android another confusion is that swipe from edge no longer works because the split has no edge of the screen. I presume iPadOS has the same issue.

The Android split screen functionality is also bloody hard to find (press ■, then tap app icon at top centre of each screen shot).
