I think 5 days to design & implement changes encompassing an ambiguous set of requirements in such a truly massive systems isn't unreasonable, and isn't a "middle finger".

I do, however, think it serves as a signal to the French courts that rulings of this sort can have unintended consequences, and perhaps more care should be taken: 24 hours is not a reasonable deadline for such an undertaking. It seems strange the court did not enter into a dialogue about how long changes would take: It is an obvious issue that would need to be addressed. Had they done so, the court, rather than Amazon, could have decided what happens in the interim before a reduction to "essentials" could be implemented.
There is a very economical way to figure out this: test the majority of the US population. Sure, the government will have to spend a few billion dollars, but that would possibly save a few trillion dollars in GDP losses. The fact that people and businesses are not requiring this right now from the government makes my head explode!
I genuinely can't tell if you're being intentionally obtuse or if you're just clueless about your own point...
I used to be told that I should be setting additional goals aside from my day to day work. “What more are you going to contribute this quarter?” That definitely didn’t make sense to me. What does make sense is using the SMART framework to define things I’ve identified as absolutely crutial and most likely the things I’m going to be doing anyway. The benefit is by verbalizing them somewhere I can start digging into if what I’m planning to do cures a symptom or the problem itself. It also allows me and my peers to track it and help keep me motivated and on track. Finally it holds me accountable so that I continue to provide value. The end result is that my contributions and value to the team are public and I’m able to feel a bit less of an imposter.
If you don't like how he runs the company don't be a shareholder, it appears you aren't. It'd be hard to think that Tesla would be what it is without him. In fact losing him, is probably the biggest risk they face.
I think torture is always wrong and calling for it is always wrong. Your comment, as responded to, has no place here and is hateful and vile, no matter how justified and entitled to violence you feel you are. Go soak your head.
> With NAT you were just guaranteed that this would always be safe.

Another safety benefit of NAT is that if you use a private IP address block (ex 192.168/16) you can be reasonably certain that your devices aren't publicly routable without bothering to actually check the router firewall configuration. This is particularly nice for home networks - I don't usually want my home devices to be reachable from the internet at large.

To understand what I'm getting at here, imagine trying to walk an elderly relative through verifying their firewall configuration over the phone. A simple command to check the IP address was enough with NAT.
I have experience with this. Give a powerful SQL editor to a suit and find your data integrity borked beyond repair.

Usually complaints like this have more to do with the social processes around coding than the actual task of storing and versioning source code (which as you say is portable and standard).

"I want to make a change to a shared library. Why can't I make a pull request?" "Wait, I have to use this unfamiliar interface to make comments on other people's changes and I can't leave comments on specific lines?" "You know, if you used Jenkins and Github then you could show the status of passing or failing tests right here on the code review screen..."

These social pressures are really quite strong. They affect a bunch of open source projects especially: people who want to make changes expect code to be on Github and might even mirror it there themselves (creating confusing situations for anyone trying to contribute). Even if the project does host its code on Github to allow for contributions from Github users, Github is (naturally) not very good about directing its users off of its platform to where the existing discussion and development is going on. "It's easier if you just do everything on Github" says Github, and their users by and large agree, and slowly more and more process (code review, merging patches, CI, documentation) gets sucked onto Github by the platform effect.
You can get some idea of worst-case scenarios from their publicly available financials. Google has $120B in cash [1] and operating expenses of $54B [2]. If they lose all their revenue, they can continue operating for another 2 years. Facebook has $54B in cash [3] and operating expenses of about $33B [4]; they can operate for 1.5 years with no revenue.

Their margins are also pretty good. Facebook has profits of $25B on revenues of $70B for about 40% margins [4]. Google has profits of $35B on revenues of $160B for about 20% margins [2]. These are conservative approximations of the rough percentage drop in revenues that they could sustain and still remain profitable. (In actuality, "cost of revenue" tends to go down as revenue does, so both of them could sustain a roughly 50% drop in revenue while remaining profitable.) Note that runway and burn rate have a reciprocal relationship: if these companies sustained the 50% revenue drop mentioned above, they'd still have infinite runway, while if they sustained a 75% drop, they'd have a ~5 year runway.

You can also just run evil mode for the vi emulation (its what spacemacs does), spacemacs is the best emacs IDE though IMHO.
The main button was on the front, so they integrated the fingerprint reader into it. Moving the main button to the side or back might have worked but would have been non-intuitive for many users (e.g. my mom just realized her iPhone 11 that she got launch day has a mute switch, and that she has had it engaged for weeks). A back fingerprint sensor would also require some gestures to change, such as swipe to unlock - attempting a complex motion while also attempting to reposition your grip to hit a sensor on the back is going to increase drop rate.

They got rid of the button and the fingerprint sensor in one go, so there was never an opportunity to have just a fingerprint sensor on the back.
Is that required, or only by convention? Ie could an ISP hypothetically choose to allocate a full IPv6 address to you?
> Docker wasn't developed as a manifestation of free speech

Docker was developed because a cloud provider (Dotcloud) wanted a better way to package their own and their customers' software. As it turned out, Docker was succesful while Dotcloud failed spectacularly. So Docker became the main product.. and now that failed too, as of a few months ago.
If you're expected to gather many people (more than 10), or really need to work with few specific people on a specific project. One trick is to schedule a weekly or biweekly meeting for that.

If you really need it one specific week, send an update with topics that must be covered. If you really don't need it one week, cancel it in advance.

Assuming that you work with regular people or on regular projects. You or other participants will always have something to share, but maybe only 15 minutes out of the hour, it's fine.

Edit: this makes me realize. It's obviously not a software algorithm for scheduling, because this ain't a technological problem. So to make it a technological problem, the issue might be to identify groups of people who interact and prepare them regular timeslots together. Now that's a plan for a SV startup that will disrupt how meetings happen.

I don't have a ton of PLC experience, but you really don't need much of an education to create basic PLC programs. I wouldn't personally recommend PLCs to anyone who enjoys programming, but I understand the appeal of trying one out.

The programming languages are all defined in IEC 61131-3, and you can more or less use them interchangeably. You can use structured text for (clunky) text-based programming, ladder logic if you want to feel like an electrician in the 70s, or functional block diagrams if you like flowcharts. They each have pros and cons, and being able to use the different languages (with different paradigms) in a single application is one of the more interesting things about PLC programming. There are probably good textbooks for this, but I don't know of any.

PLC programs execute in a constant loop (scan inputs, execute program, set outputs), so basic programming problems (e.g. delaying execution of some function) often require some re-thinking on PLCs. Having a basic understanding of how a PLC actually executes your code is pretty critical. Again, there are probably textbooks for this, but if you buy a physical PLC, its datasheet might also explain this.

You'll need to connect the PLC to some hardware for it to do anything meaningful, so having a basic knowledge of electronics would be useful. If it's just a hobby, you probably wouldn't need to know any more than you would if you were working with an Arduino.

There aren't that many major PLC vendors, so to get started, you could by an entry-level PLC from one of the big players (e.g. Allen-Bradley Micro800 series). Admittedly, I haven't looked at PLC options in 5+ years so there might be better options these days. Unfortunately, PLCs are pretty pricey, and even a small one will probably set you back a few hundred bucks. There are probably simulators available if you're just curious about PLC programming languages, but I don't have any experience there.
Yeah, those were mad expensive. I remember complaints about the logo "bugs" on TV stations that were fixed parts of the display.
Sure. But he forgot. That's not a reason to give the company, with which he is no longer affiliated and to whose boards he hasn't had access for years, ownership of his personal account and all its boards.

The stock is not the company, and the company is not the technology, and the technology is not the charismatic CEO. The EV technology is likely here to stay regardless of where that "chart" continues, or at least is much more dependent on the physical realities of the technology than it is on the hype.

> Tesla, Inc.'s fiduciary duties to its shareholders and it is hard to imagine Tesla did not do well by its shareholders at least taking a ~one-year lens.

Tesla's stock went down below 200 in May of 2019, well after the tweet and skyrocketed after that. The long term performance of Tesla stock is not the result of that tweet in August of 2018 and that tweet was not representative of creation of long term value. If Musk hadn't tweeted that day, I would bet long-term performance for Tesla shareholders would have been identical.

If Musk actually had funding secured and did take the company private, recent share prices might even indicate that would have been against the long term interests of Tesla shareholders as they were betting on the long-term results of Tesla's investments in manufacturing and would have been deprived of the gains from that bet that they are seeing now.
Yes, this is precisely what companies gamble on.

I used emacs for a year and a quarter as a common lisp developer.

There was an integration into emacs from the compiler that provided support for a lot of things like jumping definitions and seeing who calls, and it was much better than the IDE IMO, in that syntax highlighting worked correctly for one, along with the ability to use multiple buffers and windows.

I used it as my main place of development while I worked at that company, and it was a pretty great pleasure minus a few issues.

I never tried using SLIME because our lisp didn't seem to automatically support having project files being loaded into it, but I probably would have had I stayed too much longer.
The funny thing to me is always how Oracle is the odd duck, requiring a specific client install to use.. where as most other databases have established protocols with open client library implementations.
Back when I used Windows, I had a mailer (and usenet news reader) called Forté Agent. I liked the fact that it didn't hide things from me. When a content type was unknown or unsupported, it would still be represented (usually as an icon) in the displayed message. The MIME structure could be examined in a pop-up window, hierarchy intact, and individual parts could be scrolled into view or saved as files. Even preambles and epilogues were visible in the raw display mode.

How have I done with respect to your challenge? :)

I wish more mailers were so good at just presenting the data, rather than mutating it to fit some designer's limited imagination or some programmer's limited patience.
As someone who switched sides from the car to the anti-car crowd, I believe that in most ways you're less free with vehicle ownership, as you wind up more locked into "the system" than as a public transportation user.

The system being insurance, parking tickets, revenue grabbing speeding tickets and tolls, fluctuating gas prices, frivolous lawsuits, fender benders and body shops, and so on. People behave at their worst given the psychological distance that their metal box provides them. Not to mention just having to drive the damn thing when you could spend your time focused on something else!

The one big exception that I see is - dun dun dun - global pandemic time. Temporarily, I appreciate the barrier between myself and my fellow citizen. But I just went out and rented a cheap one, and will rid myself of it once the risk of contagion subsides.
Which means that trackers will still track you, but only based on the first 1/2 of your IPv6 address. Since that doesn't change (often) it's essentially as fixed as your old /32 IPv4 address was.

personally i'd use something like spacemacs. it combines the power of vim with the power of emacs. it's not perfect and you should use the develop branch of it because the master one is woefully out of date. the idea of spacemacs is that they have layers that you can enable or disable that seek to customize the defaults of emacs to 1. work well with vim in all modes, 2. collect and configure sane defaults for packages packages(akin to vim plugins) relevant to the feature. some say to use emacs with a blank canvas and to learn it from scratch but, frankly, the emacs defaults are absolute rubbish. it's a good way to get a reasonable emacs out of the gate and you can always cut the cord if you really want to later.

magit is a fantastic git UI. helm is a great ui for searching lists of things(used very often)
I'm fine with not installing emacs, as long as no one ever asks me to fix their crap on those hosts. In practice, their stuff will always break, and they always will ask me to fix it. Production hosts should never be neutered. At a bare minimum, emacs-nox, strace, nmap, tcpdump, lsof. No exceptions.

Tramp is great, but not all such hosts are reachable that way.

NixOS isn’t easy to use. It’s very powerful though. It gives you the ability to configure your whole OS, including all of your packages and configurations, in one declarative file. It reproduces the entire installation from this file in a way that’s fully immutable and hash-perfect (with minimal building from source). Very cool.

you definitely can use evil mode but you will find a lot of edge cases where you have to configure something in some modes to behave sanely whereas with spacemacs they have usually done all that legwork of anything you want to use.
I’d give the same advice I’d give to understand anything remotely complicated.

Pick a real goal you want to accomplish that the thing you want to understand is a good fit for.

Maintain a curious mindset while trying to accomplish the goal.

To frame this in the context of emacs. Just start using it for programming. When you come across something you want it to do, google how do I make emacs <...>.

I know it sounds overly simplistic, but just trust me and try it.

Unfortunately the flipside of this is very common as well - you are a senior team member, improving those around you and should be promoted and/or given a raise. That allows the manager to let you keep doing it for free, and either (a) sit back and not do their job or (b) influence up and take credit for it. Its a two way street and many places/people in power are happy to take advantage of you trying to do good work.
Your comment is inconsistent.

"It's entirely fair to conclude" does not mesh with "Time will tell whether this was the right approach".

If the same protective effects could have been achieved with a less disruptive move, then your conclusion would be justifiable. It is not, however, at all appropriate to jump to that conclusion yet-- time has not told.

It will probably be years before good conclusions can be drawn from this due to the difficulty of correcting for starting conditions and intrinsic factors.

Sweden is a relatively insular, already 'socially distant' community. It appears infections there started with fewer parties later. So it would take considerable analysis using data that doesn't exist yet (including the eventual outcome in Sweden) to draw any conclusions about what might have happened had their approach been applied to, say, NYC.

Within the US-- a more comparable population-- there are many locations where the response was weaker and so far the results don't look especially good.

Ultimately the fact remains that the majority of the economic "losses" we have now are hallucinatory. When a building is bombed it is physically destroyed and the labor and most of the materials that went into building it are irretrievably lost. The people inside are killed and cannot be productive in the future. In our current crisis, our losses are primarily losses of confidence (sure, there are some cases of agricultural goods spoiling). The people our response have saved but left without work are still alive and can go back to work when the crisis is over, particularly if we act to make sure they're protected in ways other than their health. Even if we cared exclusively about the economic consequences of this event it would be extremely foolish to favor the increase destruction of productive human lives in order to optimize for short term market confidence.
