They call it "kaizen" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaizen

They even wrote a book in it, "The Toyota Way".
Yeah, tesla is dancing at to many marriages. AI chips, self-driving, automation. Instead of focusing on mass-producing EVs. had they done just that, developing a top notch EV (which they did) and leverage centuries worth of automotive massproduction for everything not purely EV related we would never have had any discussion about short sellers. But they didn't, so the jury is still out on it if ask me.
VCV Rack is firmly in the Eurorack tradition, which has an enormous amount of deliberate quirkiness to inspire experimentation and new sounds. Max is pretty a graphical programming language with a focus on signal processing, but a scope that goes considerably beyond that.

I find this very fascinating. Just out of curiosity, how often to come across organizations that you would turn down if it was your decision to give them a grant? For whatever reason: wastefulness, greediness, or just plain pointless.
It was also a lot easier to get away with murdering a family member in a pre- DNA-sequencing world.
This sounds to me like someone who didn't live through the period or wasn't paying attention, because it dismisses/leaves out the iPod and iTunes store.

When the iTunes store opened, that was the exact moment at which Apple was clearly a different company that was going to skyrocket. I did not have or maintain faith in Jobs, unfortunately for me. But that was the moment of "take all your money and buy call options".

As evidence of my opinion, you could look at the discontinuity in the stock price and how it proceeded to break out of the cyclical range it had been in for years and years.
Very fun application of big data and I love the choice of the source itself. I was puzzled at first how one could accurately assess the popularity of a hairstyle because, depending on the type of person asked, the result would be skewed. But this is smart because everybody got their best look for the yearbook photo (however regrettable that look may be in the future is debatable) so anybody who liked big hair at that moment would have it for the photo. Plus, yearbooks were collected from all over America so there's less chance of the data being skewed toward the 'hipper' states. (I'm not an expert on which states those would be but I'm presuming places like California and New York are closer to the top in that ranking?)

Have any developments come out of adding the digits? My impulse is to dismiss it out of hand because it only works in base-10, which in my mind leans it towards numerology instead of math.
As a current cog in a 100k+ international corp, I could not disagree more with this post.

Firstly, did you read the actual list? They're not radical, boat-shaking questions. They're just honest, targeted, practically useful queries. They benefit your manager, and they benefit the machine.

I'll frame one of the Qs in the context you've described (cynical cog in faceless machine) to show what I mean:

- How can I make your days more fulfilling?

Translation:

- As you're unlikely to get fulfilment from the product of your work or from thinking about our "corporate values", what other aspects of corporate life can we work on to make working here more palatable? (and maybe reduce attrition)

I may be going full depressed dystopian cynic here, but surely it's not hard to see the potential for mutual benefit in targetted questions?

I mean, the alternative is to quit and find something fulfilling. If that's not an option, the above seems reasonable.
To be fair, it wasn't that buzzwordy, it's just the "Accelerator technology" thing that biased me. The rest of the sentence was fine, maybe that's what happened for you too.

Toyota’s market cap is more than twice that of Tesla, around 200 billion, and they sold 10 million cars last year.

I do expect Tesla’s is dramatically inflated, I have no idea if Toyota would buy them, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility. If Toyota could successfully integrate all the Tesla stuff into their vehicles, it would also have a greater impact than anything Tesla will likely accomplish on their own.
"Clod" as in "stupid person"? Was that intentional?
Hackers learn whatever which way works best for them. I partially agree though there's people who code but don't give off the hacker vibe, some of these people are great at their jobs, some are not (usually the juniors, and will likely stay juniors for a while).

Edit:

Some of the rest is gibberish, I guess most of it is, I know fantastic hackers who have no idea about algorithms. Hackers are into niches and learn what they must for their niche point of interest.

As for where startups come from, and what have you, why should it matter if it provides quality to the world?
That and the most obvious reality that love the guy or hate him, Tesla isn't Tesla without Elon. Unlike SpaceX, Tesla has to Gwynne Shotwell. It is Musk who drives the engineering (and causes an enormous amount of turnover as a result). It would be a hard sell for a lot of share holders (including Elon and Kimbal Musk) to take the temporary raise in share price of a buyout knowing it would tank the max upside of the company in the long term.

This is nice advice, but not exactly unknown. Have you spent much time on the grant reviewer side of the equation? It seems like literally every grant I've been part of writing involves the compromise and recasting in novelty that you're describing. I would expect many grants are using this approach to deal with the novelty obsession of funding bodies.
I believe v3 is on their github as https://github.com/vuejs/vue-next
I'm one of these people that doesn't have much time less the energy to focus on side projects when I'm home from work, that said my career has been changing over the last few years and at times I rarely have any code to write at work.

These are the times when I really find a yearning to write something and I want to put a bit of time into a side project like learning Godot, or writing a desktop GUI based program with Rust.

I just need to be doing something different with my day job to have the inspiration and energy to code when I get home, unfortunately at the moment I'm coding at work again, and when I get home I will stare blankly at the screen infront of me if I try and write more code, even in a different language.
Why would you think that? The project manager has communicated well with the client and the requirements getting passed along are correct and full. The developers are specialists in their platform, so implementing the feature is no problem.

From experience, it's actually a really nice environment to work in. Everyone is good at their job and you don't have to deal with the clients directly.

This is gatekeeping trash.

This dude isn't the authority on who gets to be a hacker and who isnt. I work with some bootcamp grads who have "earned" their skills every bit as much as the "real" hackers this dude's yammering about. This clubhouse bullshit needs to die. If that's what's getting killed I'm all for it.
> I was so fed-up with the dependency hell, I switched to native programming.

Same, but I switched to Flutter. Native performance, declarative UI, and while I do still have dependencies, they’re much easier to manage and the scope of individual packages/widgets are much smaller/tighter/focused imo.
Desktop support is definitely on our long-term roadmap! We’re simply starting web, since it’s an area we think we can make big improvements to, before moving on to the broader developer landscape.

As we build out Playwright, we hope to learn a lot about how to make automation more reliable,
ergonomic, and enjoyable for developers. Ideally, we could then apply those principles/learnings to desktop, mobile, etc. automation too. Stay tuned!

I'm a CEO, and This Is What I Care About from Marketing
As of this very moment, the market caps of both are as follows:

Toyota: 228.41 Billion
Tesla: 144.2 Billion

That's time and a half, but not more than twice. I find it stretching credibility to think Toyota could afford to buy a company with such a high market cap knowing the stock would rocket up on any rumor of an acquisition.
As opposed to portable music CD players? I remember 25 minute "skip protection" as a feature on my siblings' players.
The implementation is clever, but. But. Does it do the one damn thing that no other MarkXXX dialect properly supports: poetry? by which I mean, can you have a text block ("stanza") in which each line is a block that has full formatting (i.e. do not try to pawn me off with a code block!) but in which white space if fully respected (i.e. arbitrary indention is retained), and the ability to right-align an annotation ("line number") is available?

And can you use it to write a play script (see any copy of Hamlet) and/or a film script?

Tesla is overvalued simply by name. Same with Apple. Autonomous driving is still years out and their custom AI chip apparently doesn't do much in the way of helping that yet.
"Lisp" does not and should not be used to mean "Common Lisp", though such metonymy is understandable in the context discussion and documentation of a particular dialect.

When I use the word "Lisp", I'm strictly referring to a family of languages ... that feature lists terminated by a symbol nil, which is also the Boolean false, those lists being made of mutable cons cells acessed by car, cdr, rplaca and so on.
The products in the drug store always say, I believe, something like "this has not been determined to cure or prevent any condition or disease by the FDA".

So that meets with your approval?

Obviously you can't say something is plain water whether or not it is - surely the placebo effect requires the recipient to think there is medication, and isn't it common knowledge that something like a bitter taste enhances it?
False, you cannot buy a Model 3, or any Tesla for that matter that doesn't have leather. There was a planed cloth seat for the model 3 but they scrapped that.
No, you would lack depth perception. It is possible to drive, but it would probably be significantly more difficult. I have a friend with a dysfunctional eye. He has a drivers license, but really doesn't like driving or catching things out of the air.

But while humans can successfully correct for this issue through extended interpretation of perceived images and training, it becomes almost a necessity for a stupid computer. I believe a fast and efficient stereoscopy would make identifying objects much easier. But it isn't neither trivial to implement, nor very performant to my knowledge.

A Lidar would be an alternative of course.
Fixing GitHub Actions CI Postgres broken by upstream Docker change
I agree. I know somebody who did a bootcamp and is precisely a hacker, does things needed to be done to get the job done. I also know someone with a degree who isn't and complains about not knowing a framework, despite doing the same type of work (web development) in several frameworks.
We have a feature factory with 5 developers. we could do with more people OR we could do to simplify our product. Instead we keep adding more and more to the tech stack which is already difficult to keep on top of with such a small team....
Do you think "build quality" has achieved its apparent importance (to some) without marketing?

For many drivers other issues take precedence.
I've always found this one a bit peculiar - usually debugging is about looking at something on a simpler, lower level than implementation. Rather than looking at a whole set of logic, let's step through it piece by piece, look at each operation. When done slowly with care and understanding of the lower level components in the system, debugging code is simpler than learning and implementing most architectural patterns in all but the most extreme of circumstances (compiler bugs, hardware faults).

Or maybe I just spent too much time in OllyDbg at a young age to notice.

title would be less vague as

/s/it/your cleverest code
In WebAuthn the remote site is storing typically three facts about each non-resident WebAuthn credential for a user. It has a cookie (an opaque blob of fixed size, which it was given by the remote FIDO authenticator during enrollment - and it must play this back every time it wants you to authenticate) and a public key (which it will use to confirm your signatures during subsequent login to prove you still have the authenticator), and practicality it probably also stores a name or an icon or something so users can remember which of their credentials is which.

When you enroll your authenticator creates random credentials (made easier by using Elliptic Curve crypto so almost any random bits are a valid key unlike RSA) and then (unless you're using a much more expensive/ sophisticated device or a FIDO2 device in its resident credentials mode) it encrypts its own private key and delivers that as the cookie value. The remote server actually has your private key... but encrypted with a symmetric key that only exists inside your FIDO authenticator so it's actually safe.

OpenBSD's approach to using FIDO for SSH keeps this cookie element locally, not on the remote server. So the actual keys used will be constant across multiple servers and thus could be correlated to track you.

The other effect is that (again because that cookie is on your local client not the remote server like for WebAuthn) you can't use a cheap (non-resident enabled) FIDO authenticator from anywhere except the machine you used to enroll it. The authenticator plus a random (new enough) SSH client don't have enough information between them to get you in, they also need that cookie which is on, say, the laptop you left in a hotel room.

If that use case is essential for you, you can apparently use resident credentials. I haven't tried it, but a newer Yubico Security Key (with the numeral 2 printed on it to signify that it implements FIDO2) should be able to store everything, authenticated with a PIN, so then you can use a new enough SSH client plus that Security Key plus your PIN to log in from anywhere.

Alternatively if you have a cheaper FIDO device or choose not to use the resident mode of a newer one, this does have the effect that you can create different cookies from different laptops and then you can approve the resulting different keys for different purposes if that suits you. It could make sense to approve your company laptop's keys for checkin to corporate Git repos while the personal laptop has your GitHub keys while keeping just one FIDO key on your keychain throughout the day...

Edited to add: Residential credentials for SSH is apparently planned for OpenSSH 8.3, not OpenSSH 8.2 and so not available yet.

> usually debugging is about looking at something on a simpler, lower level than implementation

the lower you go, the less context you have about the author's intent. with too-clever code it's easy to miss the forest for the trees.

e.g. it usually works fine to fix spelling errors at word level, but less well to restructure complex sentances without larger context.

I'm not in the US but people in my region comment how all US vehicles have poor panel quality. I've spoken to paint shop employees and garage mechanics who say the panels of US cars have gaps that are embarrassingly large. In the mind of a buyer that makes you question overall quality.

And never buy a white car either they rust because the panels don't get warm enough to drive out moisture.

Download the wallet to your computer, most often than not these web wallets are open-source and available on Github.

The problem with a web wallet is that since clients potentially re-download the app everytime they use it, the server can be compromised and malicious updates pushed silently, selectively, and make many victims in a short window of time.

This has happened several times in the past:

As part of our goal to enable better developer ergonomics, we’re very keen to explore “better”/higher-level APIs and additional extensibility points. For example, we allow you to define custom “selector engines” (https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/master/docs/sel...), which is just one example of the kinds of customizations we want to enable.

Out of curiosity: are there any specific extensions from puppeteer-extra that you’ve used and/or would be interested to see?

Yes. Trading generally happens off-chain, simply by changing account balances in exchange's database. Actual on-chain transactions don't take place until funds are withdrawn from the exchange (which is why they should not be kept there for long - obvious hacking risk).

Would defining a (required) key set of observables not help to reduce the variability across teams? Or perhaps the issue you're describing is that teams aren't required to demonstrate any?

In my experience (as a chief architect and engineering VP), laying out some baseline metrics closes much of the reliability variance across teams.

As the teams get more competent at baking in the basics (overall load, latency, resource utilization, error rates, error events posted to chat) you can ratchet up the competency to include higher order observables (scaling events, business transactions, circuit statuses, traces, anomalies).

Which is to say its been straightforward (in my experience) for most teams to raise the bar once they know there _is_ a bar and once they can see the bar.
