When Eddie Bauer declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy, I was amused to see the New York Times describe it as an "outdoorsy" brand. Well, in those days you could be an Eddie Bauer branded sports ute.
I quickly realized the value of the headphone jack the last time I had to turn my device to Airplane mode and realized I couldn't listen to any music on the plane using my wireless earbuds.

Fortunately, my aging GS8+ still has a headphone jack, and I had a pair of analog headphones in my travel bag.
As someone who both writes C and Rust I don't think the two contradict each other. Rust is very nice to write stable, fast and well tested libraries in that can interface with C code in.

Learning Rust and with its concepts improved my C code. Even if Rust would vanish over night I wouldn't regret learning it.
TGV works just fine on regular lines, and uses them when approaching most cities. In fact classic lines is where most tgv accidents happened. It gets dedicated high-speed lines for the main legs.

Most TGV will stop at city center train stations, if they don’t and drop you in the countryside it’s often for political or demographic reasons, or possibly because the rail lines were really unsuitable (iirc even at low speed tgv is somewhat limited in its ability to bend).
Eh... remember 32-bit UEFI? It might be smaller, but there is still room for weirdness.
That sounds like the same calculated risk they took with the early 2011 MBPs.

I ran my 2011 MBP hot and it eventually bricked. The logic board "post-recall" also eventually bricked too.

The Apple support thread for that issue ran hundreds of pages, so the 44 page thread for the 16" MBP is just giving me bad flashbacks.
I feel like GPUs don't thermal throttle as gracefully as CPUs do. I have a desktop GPU and when it's at its max temperature for too long, eventually the graphics driver crashes. Meanwhile, CPUs are perfectly happy to run with inadequate cooling; they just thermal throttle.

I worry that it might actually be a software issue. GPU clock starts running slowly, software assumes that it will be running faster, two commands are issued but only one is processed, driver gets confused, driver crashes.
It is so easy to find a used car that will be good enough for $10-$15K. Even though I know we probably pay slightly more, we always go to CarMax. Just not dealing with slimy car dealers makes it worth it. We have never had an issue.

Do they not plow the road where you drive? Just put salt on top of it?

Tread depth is also an important factor, which is basically a freebie with snow tires, as they usually have more tread depth to start with than an all-season tire.

Regardless of drive system, if you feel you are at the limit of your traction keeping up with traffic, you are going too fast.
I think this is true. I think it's because we intuitively understand "being good at something" to be relative to "the people who are the absolute best at it," not on the total set of people who do it.

I disagree when the post claims that "advice works". If someone gives you good advice and you manage to take it, you're still missing something. You're mising the intuition that led them to be able to give you that advice, which is the really valuable thing. This is why self-help is so worthless, even if it's good advice.
I had one homework assignment where the API keys they provided didn’t work. I spent 2 days playing tag with the hiring manager just to get functional credentials.
As Louis Rossmann would say:

Don't worry, Gov "King" Cuomo will require a surfing license very soon, that is unless he doesn't outlaw it like e-bikes first.

Sounds like a good candidate for qemu/kvm or libvirt+kvm + (ovirt or virtmanager) then I would intall a kubernetes cluster+ docker top of it using kubespray with 5 small nodes something like 2cpu/4GBram and a large master with stacked etcd. As you could imagine this might consume time and requires area of interest, even you can install kubernetes straight, so I would try to script process as much as I could, take snapshot of images that in future you will not need to deal with it anymore. Otherwise when something goes wrong you will be lazy to re-install everything. Actually this is what I am going to do this week.
That doesn’t make you an engineer though that just makes you a graduate.
Perhaps the 95%-ile is actually good when it is something that almost everyone has to do.

Everyone in school is practicing at least a bit on reading comprehension, and the SAT is across lots of schools, if you are the in 95%-ile of millions of people it might be more impressive than being in the 95%-ile of tens of thousands of people.
Sure but until someone demonstrates at least a basic PoC using Rust to replace some Android C code, suggesting that it can is just speculation at best.
InstallCapital – When AdWare Becomes Pay-per-Install Cyber-Crime
Personally, I only buy clothes etc that I need. Skateboarding and surfing has had a major positive influence on my life so I tend to buy from brands that sponsor and support riders that I like. I don't buy lots anyway though.
This is true but there is also a time dimension to it. I was similar in undergrad, no matter how hard I tried I never really got passed A- while the class genius would ace everything. But as a I got older and I kept studying I began to close the gap with the "market leader". The star burns twice as bright burns half as long.

Sometimes it's not about how well you do at the current point in time, but how you navigate changes in the external environment. Skills and people are always in flux.

I mean aren't you talking about most Indian-Americans if not all :). Being an Indian-American myself (first generation even though I came here at a very young age), what you described is pretty much how we live.
That's interesting. I was watching a movie on my 1440p@60hz monitor last night on my 16" MBP in clamshell mode and the fans were on the whole time. That sounds like a connection.

What you are saying is, that no matter how much one company keeps failing, they will never leave its ecosystem. What I am saying, is that it's never too late to begin considering it.
I just listened to Darknet Diaries for the 1st time. Awesome podcast, especially the Xbox Underground series.

I noticed they mentioned an extra special interview at the end for paid subscribers. Seemed like a fair thing to do to me.
He goes from a city 100km from London, to Edinburgh.

e.g. Cambridge to Edinburgh (I haven't checked the connection time for this).
I keep repeating that this is not about SQL injection. You could be asked to write a command line app which doesn't even involve a SQL database. And yet there could a lot of such security or even other add-on's on which your code could be evaluated. We are literally discussing code quantity + time Vs Quality here.

>>Do you have any production experience
>>db calls aren't randomly placed in try/catch - that will be absurd.

Calls to databases go wrong all the time. Session objects expire, if you have cert based auths, they expire all the time. Especially if you have a largish microservices stack. Or you have locks on db objects, which you would run into. Or that network got flaky, or that just a certain type of resources like maxing out on db connections. Or that you are just trying to do write something to a database that is not allowed, like a duplicate primary key.

Never assume a database or any IO call for that matter will always go right.

Always check for every possible exception that could likely be thrown and handle it appropriately. Preferably each db interaction function should be atomic, and exception should be bubbled/raised/thrown to the application/feature main loop so that appropriate action like a retry or a roll back can be taken.

>>And the None checks aren't necessary because of something which you can very clearly see in the sample code but you also very clearly don't understand.

Pretty much any large codebase, that passes objects around should always do Null pointer checks. This is because several times resource heavy objects are initialized only on certain conditions, and if such objects are passed around they must be checked.
You can put a device into airplane mode and still turn on BT.
Yeah, I agree, the logistics are tough and the comment was really just a proxy for...

A company that must rely on a take home project to get a meaningful assessment of your worthiness and competency for a position is a huge red flag.

Any engineer worth their salt can tell from an on sight interview if a candidate is bullshitting about their past accomplishments.
I literally said they can switch, but it is not easy and takes effort. You're assuming a lot by saying they haven't even considered it.

And more relevant to this post, Apple still sold people a multi-thousand dollar device, and those people are entitled to question why the device doesn't perform as expected.
Because a bunch of college kids and bootcampers only learned React and are afraid of the job market spotlight moving on from where they're standing.

Popularity is not a useful metric when evaluating frameworks. Community engagement and core team motivation are, and some people may use popularity as a proxy for those measurements.
IANAL so we need an actual copyright lawyer to break this down. Paging Leonard French.
This is the same ‘no true scotsman’ argument used with scrum. Over 15 years I’ve very rarely had anything productive come out of 1:1s. I think some people just require more support than others. I personally find them to be an enormous waste of time.
I did fine buying used from a rental car agency. No issues, and they take the brunt of the depreciation.
It does not seem to do consensus to me, just speculations. And even if it would be a consensus, there is way to link statically with LGPL and still respect the license.
Do you have a plan on something else to do? I quit my job and got a part time job doing development in a different field after a few toxic years.

The same lack of understanding/appreciation can be felt in some jobs, but a change might be good?

Ultimately I'd work at a garden centre or something and be outside more, but the pay would be less ! In any case, hope you have a plan.

But very seriously, it goes through life; the drum major instinct is real. (Yes) And you know what else it causes to happen? It often causes us to live above our means. (Make it plain) It's nothing but the drum major instinct. Do you ever see people buy cars that they can't even begin to buy in terms of their income? (Amen) [laughter] You've seen people riding around in Cadillacs and Chryslers who don't earn enough to have a good T-Model Ford. (Make it plain) But it feeds a repressed ego.

You know, economists tell us that your automobile should not cost more than half of your annual income. So if you make an income of five thousand dollars, your car shouldn't cost more than about twenty-five hundred. That's just good economics. And if it's a family of two, and both members of the family make ten thousand dollars, they would have to make out with one car. That would be good economics, although it's often inconvenient. But so often, haven't you seen people making five thousand dollars a year and driving a car that costs six thousand? And they wonder why their ends never meet. [laughter] That's a fact.

I think the disturbing thing here is, being in Indiana, I can't do a damn thing about it. I've never had the chance to buy it, would not have bought it to begin with, and not even seen it on the market.

But this article makes me feel bad and emotionally drains me, and there's not a damn thing I can do about it.
I've had a few roles with regularly scheduled 1 on 1s, the best were with bosses I worked extremely closely with, and those sessions were generally like, tech heavy heart to hearts, I still years go to a few of those bosses I no longer work with for advice. With the bosses I wasn't as close to or did not have a mutually respectful relationship with, it was usually a waste of time. Empty promises, mindless chit chat, casual gossip. The absolute worst was a role where we got scored on these chats as part of an attempt to quantify every aspect of the job. With that being said, when I want to meet one on one with a boss now, I ask them out to lunch and discuss whatever matter at hand.
Not a contradiction. Voluntary exchange is central to Capitalism. Option to resist excessive marketing is within the framework. It's a cultural thing which some sub-cultures are better at then others.

That's like how the BMW E46 comes with cruise control. All of the circuits to enable cruise control are in the cars from factory (except maybe not for the earliest model years). However, if you chose not to get a multifunction steering wheel, you can't activate it.

What if a customer ordered a car without the multifunction steering wheel and BMW accidentally built it with it. Couple of years forwards and someone notices that for some reason, the order sheet and the build sheet do not match. The owner takes their car to be serviced and the BMW technician switches the multifunction steering wheel panel with the blank steering wheel panel.

How can BMW at that point explain that the customer never paid for cruise control and therefore they never had it? The manufacturer shouldn't punish the consumer for their mistakes.
Yup. Anyone that signs up, of their own free will, for a seven year loan on a depreciating asset has rocks in their head. For fucks sake.
That's smart! I'm going to try the trick next time~
Definitely luck. I worked as a front-end developer on a team that was part-time remote (1-2 days wfh a week). Then our team got merged with another IT team that was full-time remote. I was at that job for about 6 years. After that I worked at a consultancy for a year and then a startup for another year with no remote work. Then I started my own consulting business, so I got to work full-time remote again. It's been about 2 years now and I'm loving every minute of it. I just bought a standing desk and a new french press :)
Have you ever tried any of the Metro styled WinForms component kits?

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=metro+styling+for+winf...

Styling WinForms to look the way you want is certainly possible, but I would agree that it's even more of a black art than designing a WPF UI.
People care more about this because the animals involved are cute and fluffy, but this is pretty much just regular factory farming. (Which itself is a hellish indictment of humanity, of course.)

> The Hurley debacle is getting most of the press these days

>...And, of course, we all know about Hurley by now

No I don’t. I even had to search myself and still don’t know. Just tell the reader, we don’t all follow surfer/skate news.

What happened to Hurley? They closing shop?
This is egregious and unempathetic.
I don't know why this was downvoted, but you're right. Geniuses of that level are rare and extremely lucky. It's like lamenting that you'll never be financially independent because you didn't win the Megamillions lottery. Only a tiny minority of people have that kind of luck and no one has any control over it.

This entirely depends on the population you sample from and the competition level of the activity.

Looking at high school football in the United States, the top ~5% get a scholarship to play in college[1].

The author's example of Overwatch is one where very few people playing have joined paid leagues, hold regular practices, have paid coaching staff, have training facilities, etc. versus kids playing football.

This is another reason for the Uber/Tesla/Lyft vision of the robotaxi future. If a service can provide both the cost-effectiveness and autonomy of a taxi network, there's a generation of tech-savvy buyers that will be grateful to take the car shopping/ownership costs out of their lives.
The climbing apparel industry is the same way. Patagonia, North Face, Black Diamond and Arcteryx all began as brands that catered specifically to the needs of climbers and alpinists, but now sell primarily to yuppies.

It used to be that if you were wearing Canada Goose, it was because you were on some kind of expedition to the Arctic. Then movie directors decided Canada Goose was the way to go to stay cozy while on an outdoor movie set. I think it was Sundance 2007 and all of the sudden all the cool kids had Canada Goose parkas.

Now middle class people wear Canada Goose parkas to signal to others their propensity for getting ripped off.

That's not saying much. I'm in my 40s, been in the industry for a long time, studied CS, etc ... but put the proverbial gun to my head and ask me to perform with judgement like that, I'd probably forget how to spell my own name.
After watching Leonard French go over the Sargon suit, I think there's a counter-claim to be filed that is supposed to provide some temporary relief to push back some draconian measures Youtube imposes that are required under the DMCA.

15 USC 512 (f) Misrepresentations.—Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents under this section—
(1) that material or activity is infringing, or
(2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification
shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of the service provider relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512

Fraudulent DMCA takedowns needs some severe punishment cases with treble costs, damages and fees or better to send a message that this type of criminal-like behavior won't be tolerated.
Are you genuinely asking? Or is that your title for the video?

>He paid $27,000 for the car, less than the sticker price, but took out a $36,000 loan with an interest rate of 1.9%

Isn't that pretty good? 1.9% is at inflation, so it's almost a free loan.
>Having more than two driven wheels does not change the contact patch on the road

It literally doubles the contact patch over which you can apply forward forces. This is important when doing something like ascending a hill that has any sort of curve on it.

Not to say that more traction per wheel isn't more better but to just pass off AWD as being of negligible improvement is pure lunacy.
> Salieri is a tragic figure though - his response is one of contempt and hostility to the injustice of his life. But he's missed the point.

This is a gross falsehood spread after Salieri's death.
I guess I haven't entered to a sport/hobby that hadn't already past that stage of shared values.

I snowboard and when I see other snowboarders I don't assume we share values beyond maybe finding the boots more comfortable than those for skiing.
I think that's a common conception of many surfers. Surfing is somewhat entrenched in philosophy. Surfers have philosophical concepts of individualism, territory, ecology, morality, and existential concepts surrounding their place in nature and what is truly important in life to be happy.

Surfers can be considered to live their life like any spiritual individual. Their _god_ is the ocean, their pursuit is happiness in the moment recognizing risk and danger is a necessary component for a full life.

> The first thing that springs to mind is how amazing smooth the rails were in the V150 test.

High speed lines are necessarily extremely smooth and with very small tolerances.

French lines come out the factory in rail pieces 200 to 400 meters long and are thermite-welded together after adjustment. They have no expansion joints except around bridges (and even then not necessarily)
But what's the incentive for doing that? What are you offering to those who work on adtech for them stop or to those who do work for $EvilCorp.
My point was, that we now have a long enough history of Apple's hardware failures, delayed admissions, and constrained repairability.

Instead of pretending to be surprised by another of Apple's non-reactions, they should use this as an opportunity to reconsider the whole picture.

At least, if Dell starts sucking, they can switch to HP or Lenovo, and the other way around. If Apple stars sucking, they have no other option but to keep complaining online.

I would say: Consumerism helped grow the economy from the end of the agrarian era/start of the industrial era to a poorly delimited point in our recent history when we transitioned from industry to services. After that point, consumerism has been as bad for our mental health as high fructose corn syrup has been for our waistlines.

Manufacturing and agriculture combine to less than a fifth of American GDP today; I say it would be better quality of life if Americans worked one day a week for the same material possessions, but the drive to consume ever more is the primary impediment to that. Similar arguments apply in the other G20 economies, but I’m not going to quantify them.

Of course, I’m not an economist, so perhaps I’m doing a gross disservice to the real value of the service sector…
