There’s actually a lot of NIMBYism around public transit in LA as well though. Before I moved out of Eagle Rock, the transit authority was looking at putting in an express bus lane. On apps like Nextdoor and at development meetings, there were hordes of wealthy homeowners screaming about how it would destroy the “character of the neighborhood,” bring in too many poor people, and somehow, strangely, worsen traffic.

I imagine it’s hard to do transit well in a city where a lot of people are trying to use their single family homes as an outsized, speculative investment asset.

> So that the employer will see him more favorably than the other employees at the same level when making decisions in which all other things are equal.

There's a bit of that. The main reason though is that I am way out of touch and unable to separate work/whatever life for a bunch of different reasons. Let's say I am a mess right now and not caring much about losing vacation.

> From the candor of GP's comment, I would venture to guess that both he and the manager are type-A personalities who want to be at work all the time. My dad was and is like that. He progressed much further in his career than he would have otherwise and our family was none-the-worse for it. Not everyone is like that, but I don't see it as incomprehensible (or even a problem).

Not really, maybe. I am a teamplayer and a people pleaser but I have some type A tendencies (types only tell a part of the story anyway). I have nothing to show for that though (not a top leet coder, not a top lead manager, etc. I am good, reliable but I am not shining).

I think if I was more "type A" I would not let such things happen.

How did you do that :D
Less complicated isn't always good. There was no problem driving the clock display with the onboard Argon-16 of course, but the clock was decoupled into a separate device to not have a single point of failure, and also to replace the old onboard chronometer which was even more complex and failure-prone.

Actually $157k salary sounds plausible, it's in the range of base salary for L4 band which is the most common level at google AFAIK. Of course, there should be like an extra $100k in stocks and bonuses on top of it, and noone from FAANG cares about base salary figure alone.
If we use a tax to pay for the child care, then depending upon how the tax is structured it could be that an increase tax on Jane (either directly, or on the partner in the relationship who is working) can make it so that it makes more economical sense for Jane to work and use the subsidized child care. Just like today the opposite often happens (child care costs so much that the lower earning parent can have a hard time justify having a job). I think it is possible to find a balance but we haven't managed to do so yet and I wouldn't bet on it anytime soon.
> You're still claiming that people are saying it just to be witty/funny.

You see that word "just" in there? That's the bit I disagree with.

It is possible to both agree with someone and dislike how they express themselves.
Autonomous vehicles are clearly several steps up the difficulty ladder from bread and butter tasks such as speech recognition. The progress over the last 10 years is such that some subfields have exceeded human parity while others are only just getting started.

Depending on which subfield interests you, progress may be slowing or accelerating. That's why another "AI winter" is a bogus and alarmist concept. Winter for whom?
> Half of engineers prefer to work at a company that does pair programming.

Oh please god, no. Don't make it a trend.
Isn't that tying? The manufacturer sells both the product and the service, and they can't be separated. Many countries have laws against it, or at least some forms of it.

Furthermore, many countries now have some regulations regarding e-waste. Either now or in the making. And I expect "bricking" to be punished in some way. Right to repair comes to mind.
ANSI Common Lisp is good book to learn Common Lisp.

I especially like the Appendix D: Language Reference. CL already has very good and comprehensive reference: the Hyperspec, but the Reference in the book is good companion to to it, very much like cheat sheet. You can quickly look up things. (my copy is already braking down from the end)
I agree human time is undervalued in the modern economy and it’s often waisted, but I think door dash because of its flexibility might actually be part of a change that results in it being more valued rather than less.

Hm, ok. We build containers using ci, but I see how you might want to have a container for running tests. Depends a bit on the language/framework i suppose.

But unless IotZombieCo can ensure it too doesn’t go out of business isn’t it just the same risk to the customer however with 2 companies instead of one? I think that 2 companies with the ability to keep a device running is better but the real solution is fully open sourcing the code of these devices since the company is no longer going using them or supporting them. Instead the company is offering a disingenuous offer where you can get some Ring equipment for a discount but really that discount is a minuscule fraction of what one would pay just going to the store and if I were to guess they probably made some back room deal with Ring as well that they could convert ‘x’ amount of customers to their service and got some sort of back pay. This was just a shit deal but it is good it happens from time to time because we need people to start to become aware of this and demand open source.
This! It is utterly disingenous - in fact, it is simply lying - to characterise users' interactions with the maintainer here as harrassment, or abusive, or entitled.
Yup. I bought my mother a new printer a year or two back. She wanted Instant Ink, I explained how it would work but I was pretty cynical, nevertheless she was immediately attracted. "Are you sure?" I asked, "It makes no real difference to me which mid-range inkjet printer I buy you and some of these are reviewed as being cheap to run with large ink tanks you can re-fill yourself". She was insistent that HP's Instant Ink business model fitted her needs. I installed the printer & set up Instant Ink before I left.

A year later she reports everything working out just how she wanted and no regrets. She's on one of the middle tiers so it's not an inconsiderable amount of money but she prints quite a lot of stuff, she does craft projects with local kids in various organisations and does dress making, these days mostly for dolls because we (her kids) grew up - and it all ends up using paper patterns. She enjoys the small puzzle of managing the page budget to avoid excess fees, and she very much likes never finding that it's low on ink unexpectedly without a spare cartridge ready to go because of course HP ensures that frustration won't happen.
I put some common libraries into a private artifactory as I want to reduce the whole build time. The reason I am using Maven build instead of Gradle is that I can use M2E in Eclipse which can compile the project incrementally very fast while I am editing files.
>If you value simplicity check out the programming language zig.

I value simplicity, that's what i use Brainfuck. Far simpler than Go and Zig.

Eventually I will move those libraries to maven central for better public access.

I don't know how to play Go, and I'm not very good at maths. How many of these questions could be answered without going to an omniscient heavenly being?
I’m not sure how comparable a professional athlete is to a CEO.

CEOs exist to help a company sell more product, while in sports the athlete IS the product. In that respect they have more in common with movie stars than with CEOs.

Which I suppose just raises the question of the rule applying to movie studios—a similarly unlikely scenario—and how CA can defend the inconsistency. Is there a loophole for sports/film in that the famous people are contractors and not employees? I don’t know if that’s even the case, just ruminating.
Any suggestions will be very welcomed.
Oh there are masses of zigbee enabled components that are perfectly compliant with those constraints. From big labels to Chinese knock offs. Sure the Sonoses of the world have much more visibility and don’t but who searches will find :-)
I’m not sure I agree with this, there’s a point where you start infantilizing users and make it difficult or impossible for them to do useful things with their computers. iOS is still like this (although they may be headed in the right direction) and I’m fairly certain the web absolutely is.

I will say apple absolutely got the built in ssh client in iOS13 right.
Without enough instances of people losing support at EOL, consumers won't put a premium on such a brand label and thus I do not see companies willing to pay the premium and contribute the labor needed to complete step 1. By the time that consumers are accustom to the point where they are worried about EOL support, they would likely be looking for systems that are more open, and that is assuming we ever get to the point where consumers care that much (they have notoriously short memories sometimes).

Such a business might have a chance at the point when the cross over from not caring to caring occur.
> In most countries they actually have written laws which require you to help in such a situation though.

Ah yes, Google. Indeed the finest example of long term support for legacy products!
>Go is small and conceptually simple, but its ideas and philosophy are pretty different from most mainstream languages.

No, they aren't. They are the same as languages from 40 years ago: We have had channels, coroutines, and good garbage collectors from long, long ago. Plus the syntax is directly borrowed from Algol 68 (from 1968).

Go looks nice because it fills a niche (a high performance garbage collected language that is easier to learn than Java and provides faster compilation times than C++), but there's absolutely nothing different here.

For "pretty different from mainstream" see Forth, Prolog, Erlang, etc.
The only guarantee is open sourcing server code and providing means for end devices to change server address.
> Setting aside the oddity of talking about profit of people, given constant income, you pay less consumption tax as your profit goes up.

> Consumption is expenses, profit = income - expenses.

No, a person's profits are their consumption. Savings are not profits -- they don't benefit you at all.

There's a chain going like this:

Company spends money so that company receives (more) money so that person receives money so that person can spend money.

The goal of the company is to accumulate money for someone else and that's how its profits are measured. Profit is money the company loses by paying it out to its owners. (Money the company loses by paying it out to non-owners is "expenses".)

The goal of the person is to spend money on things it can actually use; for the person, money is an accounting tool, not an end goal. But we can identify profit the same way. Money that you lose by paying it out to yourself ("consumption") is your profit; savings is just money you might one day allocate to profit.

It's more that he bought a cake, but it wasn't cooked in the middle, so there was a chance people could get food poisoning, and the other people at the party pointed that out and suggested ways to cook cakes more consistently, but the author really likes cooking soggy cakes, and he's never got sick from it so it must be fine, so he left the party and told everyone the others were mean to him.
I think the most important hire for this startup would be a brilliant marketer. It would be an uphill battle because a vendor isn't going to want your service if their customers don't even know to ask about it. It would be 99% educating people about this service so they can look for your logo on the box when they buy their next smart doorbell.
We Place Cleared Engineers
Go is a finite game, so almost all these questions can be answered by just writing an algorithm that enumerates all the possible games and gives the answer. However, the game space is so big that approach would never finish. Further, I doubt any of them could practically be proven, even with some smarter algorithm. It's akin to how even with all the advances made in computer chess, we still don't know what perfect play looks like.

I do think we already have good evidence the best komi is 7 or 7.5, but it's not definitive.

The question of what the best ko rule is value based (different rules have different consequences/aesthetics for gameplay).
Do you have data to support that it’s the most common mistake? It seems obvious to me from P(A|B) = P(A, B)/P(B) and P(A, B) = P(B|A) P(A)

There are a couple ways but they’re both kind of a bitch and the OS deletes the app and its data after some period of time (depending on which method you use.)
The 65C02 does (as well as AFAIK the 6510) if one compiles VASM with the according flags. Ben decided not to do so, neither did I for the feeling of good old times. Why make it easy ;)
You don't need yet another company to solve the problem of failing companies.

You need lan-local protocols so that users can control devices within their network directly without going through the cloud.
Just an aside: Hyundai and Kia are owned by the same company.
Raspberry PI runs the Linux kernel, hence Docker is a relatively easy lift.

iPhone runs Darwin, which has none of the low level primitives in the kernel (cgroups, namespaces, etc) that Linux does, so good luck with that!
Right. Not having an anchor customer is what's prevented me developing the concept. I think it would be best done by starting as a service outsourcing provider then adding the insurance component.
Likewise. Last time we renovated, we avoided "smart" technologies like the plague. No regrets, and so far no obvious disadvantages either, but apparently many dodged bullets when it comes to longevity, privacy, security, etc.
Yeah, this is the only sensible approach to the smart home. Especially since an Internet connection is much more unreliable then electricity.
Spend and invest in the same sentence: not good.
Cool project, may also public virtual pinballs added to list too.

Talking about this, do you know any table under free license that could be ported to gnu/linux pinball emilia.

Here is a template project if anyone is interested:

https://github.com/rzr/pinball-table-hurd

Thanks and sorry for noise if it's not relevant but I assumed that pinball lovers and developers would like also to play home.
I’d absolutely love to see X11 added to ish. That’s probably the only thing that could keep me from switching to one of the open source phones.

It is possible, and I believe a few of the developers of checkra1n/some of the community has expressed interest in running Linux. Whether or not it happens who knows.
Home Assistant?
So I guess the competitive advantage against lithium ion batteries could be price for stationary storage?
If that is the only argument, it does not hold.
I'm making a smart home device. Is there a solution to the domain/IP problem?

I'm not the embedded guy on the project but my thought was to use a domain name and have it check a DNS every hour.

That would solve it?
Well, I'm involved with a project that takes that approach, so...agreed :) But realistically vendors mostly won't do this and customers mostly won't be able to run their own back end. And there are often dependent services needed (weather data for example).
That's why most countries have state exams :)
It's because you can leave your phone at home but not your face.
It is more about sea rise than about climate change (that involves far more than just the rise of oceans).

Kim Stanley Robinson's Forty Signs of Rain feels more down to the ground, but I suppose that there are plenty of other recent science fiction books about climate change.

And Paolo Bacigalupi's The Windup Girl present a more complex world where there was an important sea rise due to climate change, but a lot of other things happened in different areas, in different ways. Is not as accurate as the previous one, but is more entertaining as fiction book.
Sure, the point is that the car dealer would ask a "proportionate" price for the engine swap (even if not cheap, or not as cheap as a "punctual" repair) in the order of magnitude of 3,000 to 6,000 Euro, at the most 10,000 i.e. 10% or 20% or 30% at the most of the price of the car "new".

Here we are talking of 90% to 100% of the price of a new printer.
Not so much mutually exclusive as "safe, fast, easy, pick two", at least sometimes. It can take a lot of design effort to come up with a safe and efficient way to do some things, so it's often tempting to do something unsafe and efficient and hope it works out.
What is the value of your photo? That is the compensation you deserve. So what’s that worth, $2? It’s the aggregate that provides value to the business
The best placement for handicap stones seems most for perfect play. For tic-tac-toe I prefer to start in the middle because "not losing" takes more thought for the other player, but assuming perfect play it doesnt matter where you start - the game is a draw.
Yes, some (many? few? I don't know) women do have that kind of expectation from a man. More to the point, there are societal norms that nurture those expectations in women and in men themselves. There's no question to my mind that this is exactly the same kind of sexism that is keeping women from having successful careers in STEM academia (and elsewhere).

Like I say in another comment, sexism harms men too.

It really is not a matter of men-vs-women, here. My understanding is that these are traditional ideas about manhood and womanhood, that were useful in the past because they helped ensure societal stability and perhaps a sensible use of limited resources. But, in today's world, especially in the Western world, where the majority of men and women don't e.g. have to work the fields or do the washing by hand, these traditional ways of seeing each other only help to restrict our options. In the end, most women and most men have loved ones in the other sex (wives, sisters, mothers, daughters, husbands, sons, brothers and fathers) and it just doesn't make sense to stick to archaic ideas that want us to be somehow adversaries. Most women want the men they love to do well in their life and vice-versa. So why not work to maximise each other's options, rather than restrict them? We can work together rather than against each other to achieve our full potential, as individuals and as family units.
Surely a reasonable solution to this kind of problem is to change the law if necessary so that businesses aren't on the hook for damages that weren't their fault? I suspect this may be a particularly US-based problem anyway given the excessively litigious environment that seems to persist there.

The idea that we're deliberately bricking useful technology devices because of lawyers is abhorrent. Realistically, their owners are probably then dumping them in many cases rather than sending them for any useful form of recycling, which is hugely wasteful. You'd think with the increasing awareness of issues like environmental protection and right to repair, we'd have been more enlightened by now.

The same high level libraries are relatively bad when compared against the respective Objective-C and .NET/UWP high level libraries.

But then I guess it would be considered fair.
I didn't say it was one of the most common mistakes, I said it's one of the most common mistakes I have observed. Purely subjective.
Turtles all the way down. But the difference is that IoTZombieCo has an obviously viable business model as long as consumers want their devices to work and are willing to pay the cost. Many of the original vendors don't have viable business models which is why they go out of business.

There are many devices used in business scenarios for example where the consumer is likely to take a keener interest in long term viability and also has a higher tolerance for paying for that.
How many new planes are designed each year that the FAA needed to abdicate this responsibility?

Aren't planes hard and basically there's only a few new major models in a year?
Unix at least picked one abstraction and stuck with it, contrast windows which is a dizzying mess of incompatible ideas. It’s so bad that more paranoid people may think Microsoft disorients people on purpose.

There are other operating systems that also chose singular abstractions like the cannon cat and smalltalk.
The cost to run and maintain a car is not uniform however. The per mile cost of a 2019 Escalade is not the same as a 2016 Prius.

There is room for profit I am sure, but also lots of ways to wear out your car many years earlier than you had expected to.

> They tell people to use public transit, but fail to recognize that it takes 2 to 3 hours to get anywhere useful with it.

I used to live in Los Angeles (Westside) and I found this to be true. The bus system has excellent coverage but that often meant that buses stop frequently. A relatively short 7 mile trip could take 35 minutes or more at times. That's 5 minutes per mile, which is a good running pace but a rather poor pace if you must travel a longer distance.

I used the light rail occasionally (the Expo Line) and I too found it underwhelming. The headways were long, often 15 or 30 minutes. The trains had only 2 cars and were often crowded. Heavy rail moves a lot more people much more quickly, with its own right-of-way too. I would have preferred LA going the heavy rail option, but they appear to be mostly investing in light rail (with the exception of the much needed Purple line extension).
