This looks really neat. I wish I had the foresight years ago to join something like this or even do a straight cs track to a large company.

My path has been less linear. Finished college with an accounting degree then worked at two fortune 500 consulting companies. I spent my nights and weekends doing web development work on the side (even did a failed startup with a buddy). A full-time opportunity opened up from one of these gigs and I've been there since. Now I run all their applications, websites, IT, and digital advertising.

Whenever I see programs like this pop up I'm always intrigued to supplement professional work with an academic mark in the hat as I know things could wind-down here and will be on a job search leaving me nervous as a 30 y/o developer whose has been working at small businesses (and not anything like FAANG). This is why I'll still pick up freelance work from time to time.

For sanity about 2 years back, I did apply and went through a series of interviews and tests for a remote software engineering position at a hot bay area company. It came down between me and one other guy. They conducted additional interviews because it was quite close. I ended up getting beat out, the other guy had a few years on me.
Apple has lied to us to make us believe that in order to have a secure device, we have to allow them to hand review every app that goes into the store. This is a false dichotomy.

We can have alternate App Stores run by other trusted/neutral entities or app side loading or certificates and tools like gatekeeper for iOS. We can have an App Store where Apple does not censor things that don’t meet its curation preferences (like nudity, vape/weed apps and previously crypto). I don’t even understand consumers who defend apples right to make these choices on our behalf

> I'll fight whoever suggests this is a good model for the desktop, but on the phone it's EXACTLY what I want.

This should apply to mobile too. Keep our phones secure, but give us the freedom to make our own choices
I once heard my spouse complaining about Signal, and how they only had it loaded on their iPhone so they could talk to me. I asked why Signal was not their default SMS application, like it is on my Android phone. And that's when I discovered that Apple hoards certain core phone features for itself.

Signal for iOS cannot send or receive ordinary SMS messages. This is a significant impediment to adoption of end-to-end encryption, because checking two applications to receive different kinds of messages is inconvenient, and inconvenience is the death of mobile applications.

And here I note that Apple is effectively punishing users for apostasy. If you leave the Apple ecosystem, you are excommunicated from your former chat contacts. I, having never entered the Apple ecosystem, have no problem being included in group chats with iPhone users. (I occasionally have problems receiving media attachments, though.)

This makes me even more wary of ever buying in, knowing that trying to leave later will cause all manner of problems as I try to reclaim functions that Apple will take over. Entering the walled gardens make me afraid of being locked in.
Poland has unusually cheap and good cell service, at least in the parts of the country I've visited.
Because it assumes you only charge at a Supercharger.

Residential electricity is significantly cheaper, and even cheaper if you have solar.

(I pay about 4-5 cents per kwh, not 28 cents as the article assumes.)
I think the move to electric vehicles will actually collapse the second-hand car market - no-one wants to buy a car with batteries that no longer hold enough charge to complete a journey. We already see this effect with used laptops and smartphones, however I can never see changing your cars battery pack being a end-user activity.
I'm wondering: if we can get a can of Coca Cola to just about any part of the world, then why can't we (with the proper logistics) get basic medical equipment there? And wouldn't this equipment be cheaper and/or of higher quality than 3d printed?
I agree it’s important to know individually why you failed, this goes along with self awareness which is critical in all facets of life.

That said, after working with a lot of people in problem solving careers you’ll tend to see that the excuse vs adjustment response is not purely situational; different personalities will tend to one or the other. There’s sometimes a thin line between honest analysis of failure and reflexive ego protection. Whether founder or not you don’t want to be on the wrong side of that line.
China is scheduled to peak this decade, at a much, much lower level per capita than the US is at.

China is on the good track. Taking bold political decisions to control its emissions. Meanwhile US is stuck at 3x EU's per capita emissions, and 4x France's.

Among rich countries (or developing ones) only Saudi Arabia is worst. That's USA and it's lack of action that worries me the most for the future
It's turning out the batteries cost nothing to replace, as they are outliving the cars.

Let's talk about the cost of oil changes, engine tuneups, spark plugs, mufflers/exhaust, brake pads and rotors.

A few weeks ago I was looking for some good font for my terminal and figured out my intellij looks good so why dont i use the font I use in java intellij in terminal so - installed intellij mono on terminal and found it to be great, interesting to see they now opensource it and the coincidence ! :) I really like it both for coding and for terminal.
Hey, thanks for letting me know. May I ask why?
Ontario, Canada is even further ahead, having eliminated coal completed by 2014. They botched much of it, with setting up bad contracts, which led to a lot of wasted taxpayer dollars. Even still, it shows it's possible and the outcome was fantastic. Complete elimination of smog days and far lower incidence of asthma cases.
I have the same version, and when I updated it stayed with Fira Code as the default as per my color schema.
And some people work at places with electric charging ports, so even if you don't have a garage or carport, you may still be able to charge without going to a Tesla charging station.

If my only option for recharging was a Tesla station, I wouldn't buy a Tesla. It takes too long and isn't close to my house, so it's a deal breaker.

Also, the article claims that free electricity would still take X years to clear the premium paid for it, which isn't particularly fair because it's not accounting for other differences in the total cost of ownership there Tesla likely has advantages (e g maintenance).

There's a good chance that a Model 3 is more expensive to own than a Camry, but this article isn't making that claim, yet it kind of tries to shoe horn it in.

> they listen to you talking to your wife through your phone about buying a mattress, going to a concert, taking a trip somewhere. Next time you open the browser you are bombarded with relevant ads.

I've heard this from non-tech family/friends.

Is this actually happening though? If so, who is doing it and how?

Edit: I'm referring specifically to ad tech that targets ads based on overheard conversations.
Still pretty crappy requiring users to take action to stop the selling of that information. Worse, it should be stopping the collection of it. Ugh. :-/
'It was more than a holiday': how Interrailing changed my life (2019)
Tesla recommends against using superchargers as your only charging source (or at least they used to). I bought my Model 3 without having a place to charge at home and I don't have a problem finding free charging alternatives. I use a supercharger maybe once a month excluding trips.

Sure, nuclear could sell into storage, but most of the time that storage will be charged up with renewables, which are much cheaper. At best, nuclear will get rock bottom $ for that, much less than what they need to charge. So this doesn't save nuclear.

Easy, human error and collateral damage.

If insurgents hide and fight among civilians, civilians are going to die in the process of destroying the insurgents. It's like cancer - you can't kill cancer without killing tons of healthy innocent cells around it.

I don't necessarily agree with the US's prolonged occupation in the middle east, but it's highly disingenuous to imply US military leaders are commanding their soldiers and pilots to intentionally kill civilians.
Good point, it's mostly about the mainstream market structure. Higher stakes => less risk.
You don't need to go that old or inefficient to avoid tracking or data uploads. Many modern cars have no GPS's or cell service (black box only).
I deregistered my number and I still have messages that are delivered to my iPad instead of my android phone. If it wasn’t for that iPad next to my bed, I would have lost contact with some people entirely.

What Apple’s doing should be fucking prosecuted by the FCC or FTC. It’s outrageous.
Teslas are a status symbol. If they were cheaper than a Camry, no one would buy a Camry, and the people who do buy Teslas would look for something else to signal their wealth.

Heh it's not paranoia, it's just a matter of privacy. Then again, my phone already knows, so it's moot. Crash safety has come a long way, no doubt. But mileage really has not.

For all the complexity of a modern Suburban (at over $50K USD!) it gets 14 MPG around town and up to 23 MPG on the highway. Mine gets about 14/17. Since most of my driving is local, it doesn't really matter.
No worries, if I was a bad actor you'd be doing the right thing, and as many have already pointed out more often than not it is a bad actor. It's tough (trying to be) of the good guys not abusing the system chasing revenue at all costs, no worries.

I don't use local push notifications for advertising, either. I use them for A) location-based recording reminders created by users and B) notifications when a recording from the Watch is synced to your phone and ready to view, since that can take a minute or so if you're off wifi.

I remember one person reaching out shortly after the iOS 13 launch that I trigged the "Slopes has been using your location in the background" notification when I wasn't recording, which was an error on my side and I fixed that right away.

I did have an email or two go out around Christmas for a giveaway, so I certainly had some email marketing in play then. Maybe Slopes appeared in a notification from your mail client? But Slopes itself did not trigger any notification, push or local, for that campaign.
Very often, usually for lighting.

By using success, I meant that I would like to be given more responsibilities, work on projects with bigger impact, to be more included in decisions. It usally comes with being promoted and having experience : things I find way more difficult while working part-time.

And by using average, I meant the fact of stagnating and not learning, etc...

I think I should not have used both of those terms. I does not really reflect what I mean (and I might sound full of myself).
Comparing the price of the cars and then talking about payback periods for "fueling" only makes sense if the _only_ difference between the cars is the source of power. That's obviously not the case, so the comparison is meaningless.
Heh, you do have to hand it to them for making stuff where your use cases include "Robust and Intuitive enough for a six year old at the playground"
No, what happens in the no-fossil scenario is the last 10-20% is handled by long term storage, in particular renewable hydrogen with combustion turbines. Sure, the round trip efficiency is lousy, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than trying to shoehorn nuclear into covering that last 20%.
We can. An aliexpress stethoscope is 2.34 with free shipping.
Tesla is the most expensive case how about comparing the Toyota to the less expenses electrics like the Fiat e500.
Oh not just Go!

I just finished integration in a service (NodeJS) that makes occasional calls to a shared Sheets doc in my employer's GSuite drives.

It was damned near impossible to understand from Google's documentation how to actually implement using a Service Account. Every angle I looked at for using a Service Account had me run into "here's how to use OAuth" which required user interaction—not at all what I wanted.

I came to a similar result—except it took me digging through relevant Github repos to find something close enough. And same—it took me days.
Help your family out, make good money from it. The worse it gets, the better. When the shit hits the fan, nobody needs it to come into the headlight with a bang, we want it to become visible with a hypernova.
Agreed. After Iosevka, other fonts have felt ... unwieldy.

In addition to the original version of the font above, there is a patched version with powerline icons (and much more) built in: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tree/master/patched-... which is very handy for emacs/vim modelines.
Maybe I should have said non-mainstream ones. I never saw an Android One phone unless it was specifically bought for pure Android.

If you're really using DejaVu Sans, that's a proportional font, so the difference to a "mono" font will be pretty big, especially for the usually narrow letters (i, j, l...) which have to be "padded" in mono fonts to avoid looking unbalanced (and, for coding, to make them easier to distinguish). Of course, if the other letters are as geometrically clean as in this font, the "i" will look a bit out of place. But actually in DejaVu Sans _Mono_ (https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/dejavu-sans-mono), the "i" looks pretty similar.
Dig down to just above bedrock, and dig a long, level, 2x1 strip. You'll find diamonds within a few minutes. Each block destroyed this way exposes three potential diamond blocks. Finding diamonds is far more of a knowledge problem than a gambling one. Inefficient mining can make an 8 minute hunt for a diamond vein take over an hour. Also diamonds are a pretty hardy good, once you have a sword, pick, and armor, there isn't a huge reason to seek more until you consume those goods.
The ecomomic argument against nuclear + renewables doesn't depend on who owns the grid.

When listings for unskilled or low skilled jobs state things like "must have a degree and be able to life 50 lbs" then I think you can conclude there is a problem with the system.

Blaming the parents or primary school is useless because this person had no control over who their parents were or what school they went to.

I'm glad you had some self awareness at 18 but that isn't the norm as we can see from the rising student debt.
The article is comparing two new cars and their relative fuels and costs over a lifetime.

Their analogy is a lot more apt than contrasting a new Tesla with a 2003 used vehicle. I don't think a contrived analogy nobody was making is a good argument for why the article's comparison shouldn't be made or discussed.

As to electrek, I strongly disagree their quality is "significantly higher." It isn't a good quality publication and is heavily biased.
How to Flirt with Your Woman for Her to Love You More
You can only make sense of this article if you have never sat in a Tesla Model 3 and a Toyota Camry. This is worse than comparing oranges to apples!

Tesla's build quality is more like BMW, Lexus and Mercedes than Toyota. Comparing to those cars you won't have that $11k advantage, fuel will cost more because you have to use premium petrol and cost of maintenance will be vastly different in the long run.
This looks great and I would love to get one. I am interested in the Hard Copy only (I can't do ebooks). Is there a mailing list for the hard copy ?

Steam updates in the background, so it's not really an issue.

However, the install times are still annoying. I really wish more games had play-while-install features. That being said, Steam downloads so much faster than a PS4 installs. I have a gigabit home connection and can get pretty close to saturating it while downloading from Steam, while the PS4 is slow -- apparently due to some technical limitations of the PS4.
How do you feel about York's CS program in terms of helping students be competitive candidates? At some Toronto companies it sometimes feels like they prefer U Waterloo CS or Engineering grads.
that might work... until all of the cars on the road are self driving and non-self-drivers are no longer permitted.
Don't forget that Tesla is now in this space, and turning off Tesla's access to it will turn off your car, period. I have a hard time believing that others in the industry will not take the blase reaction to this and then do it themselves.
Over the last 10-15 years or so, I’ve tried so many of these new fonts but always just end up back to DejaVu Sans Mono Bold. Now that my eyes are getting older, it works even better.

Precisely. If the conversation is about fuel costs per mile, keep it about fuel costs per mile. They should include figures for:

- supercharger station electricity costs
- national average electricity costs
- national average, amortized home solar costs

And then compare the fuel cost difference for each vs the price difference of each to help people decide whether the premium for an EV is worth it.
We're splitting some really fine hairs here.

As a customer, I have an account with Apple. When I purchase an app, I pay Apple, and I presume they give 70% of my payment to the developer.

As a customer, it feels like a retail store. I give money to the store, but I end up in a warranty relationship with the manufacturer, much like buying something from a store.
Why are we talking about "most people" instead of "most car owners" (since the car ownership rate for urban apartment dwellers is much lower than that of suburban home owners). Seems like the author is just trying to justify a tenuous assumption.
We used the weapons we had at the time to stop a World War. We've definitely become profoundly nicer since then. When was the last time we flattened a city or dropped a nuke?

We've since developed PGMs which allow us to minimize collateral damage more than ever before. We can destroy strategic targets of military interest with pinpoint accuracy. People that commit war crimes are reported by their fellow soldiers and justice is (usually) served. Sometimes war criminals are pardoned even after being turned in (like Gallagher), but this is rare and usually results in national outrage.

Movies - if you buy a music on iTunes from most of the major studios, you can sync your purchases with Amazon Video, Google Play Movies and Vudu using Movies Anywhere. Blame the studios that refuse to cooperate for the ones you can’t.

Music - any music you buy from iTunes has been DRM free for over a decade.

Books - if that’s a concern, buy ebooks from Amazon - like everyone else dies.

As far as buying apps, most money people spend on the App Store is either in app consumables for games or subscriptions that work cross platform.

Do you also feel that Nintendo, Microsoft (XBox) and Sony should be equally regulated for controlling distribution over their digital stores? Yes you can but physical discs but even they are digitally signed and have to be approved.
That's before taxes I believe. So after income tax and social contributions, you'll have paid 40-50% of that. Doesn't sound off to me. At least, that's the case here in Romania.

Another interesting fact is that in Romania the tax system is simple enough to always negotiate in net salary. Your employer takes care of paying taxes and social contributions etc.

FTA, the average American can expect to save a mere $2400 per decade by driving the Camry Hybrid.

I'm not in the car market but think I'll happily pay an extra 240 bucks per year for the opportunity to "fuel" my vehicle with electricity, because that can be generated from renewables or from nuclear, etc. Maybe I live in a sunny part of the world and can charge my car with solar?
No user is going to see that sentence. They're going to read right past it, click some button, it doesn't work, "this site sucks" and go somewhere else.
AFAICT, the 0.05/mile for the Camry doesn't include any costs other than the fuel. Teslas are insanely low maintenance, and while Toyotas tend to be low maintenance as well, there WILL be fluid changes and others (belts, plugs, etc) that the Tesla won't. Source: I have a Tesla and 2 Toyotas. :-)
It's really functionnal. I've nothing to complain about. But for people used to go on facebook & co there is a huge gap. I'm pretty sure it does filter a part of trolls.
