All those things you list as 'loopholes' aren't something Tesla is doing here, besides maybe the smaller tires (which really, aren't undersized, they're just the smallest ones they offer happen to get best range).

I'm not sure what you'd expect, given that every single defined test can be gamed. 'Real world' is different for everyone. And if you drive 80mph, every single car ever will underperform compared to the stated EPA range/mpg.
I remember pointers being very hard to grok when I was first learning about them. And then once I was finally starting to understand, I saw a char and my head exploded. It took some time & practice for it to become second nature, but eventually it did.

It's interesting how most languages have this concept, even if they don't call it "pointers". In some ways that reduces complexity and learning curve, but in other ways it leaves invisible footguns lying around.

JavaScript comes to mind as one where references and referential equality are very important to understand, especially in modern frontend dev with its focus on immutability, but there's no syntax like C's `*` and `&` to lend clues about what's going on. I ended up writing a visual guide to "pointers for JS devs" [0] to help explain the concept, because I think it's really easy to get bitten by reference bugs when your mental model doesn't match what's happening.

Same here. I'm using my Dell 3008WFP (also 30" @ 2560x1600) until something genuinely bigger & better comes out. I bought it over a decade ago and it still works great for programming.
There's plenty of risk we take as a society.

For example, there was a recent article on coronal mass ejections causing issues with the US power grid, bringing the US power grid down for 3-4 months (which is how long it takes to build replacement parts) but two issues came up: the whole world would have the same situation, and it costs about $400M to buy the parts.

Do you think we should invest in this, or just lower taxes so more economic activity can occur?
Even more fun fact: we rely on mag stripes (vs. chip n pin / nfc / etc) because of gas pumps. The cost of refitting gas pumps holds us back. Yay.
I don't, really, but here's another well-known anecdote:

> On one occasion, Dick was startled by a separate recurrence of the pink beam. It imparted the information to him that his infant son was ill. The Dicks rushed the child to the hospital, where his suspicion was confirmed by professional diagnosis.

FWIW, I once attended a thing that was sponsored by invisible purple telepathic space dolphins, so... yeah. Just a group hallucination?
But it isn't just about the technical, is it?

The idea behind it is "headless commerce" -- a shop owner can operate single backend while diversifying the front-end channels from which customers are able to transact (marketplace, webshop, third-party, mobile app). It's a value-add service that all ecommerce sites will eventually move toward to retain customers.

With higher transaction volumes, provided customer data is collected and passed through, the shopkeeper can now access analytics for multi-channel targeting, marketing etc. Shopify can then sell all kinds of value-added services based on this data.
Came here to mention the Instant Pot. My only difference is to put the cooled milk into pint jars, then add a teaspoonful of the previous batch of yogurt to each one.

> They said that when your social circle was usually your coworkers and neighbors, you had to make an effort to get along

People still have neighbors and coworkers.

The choice to isolate yourself in a like-minded bubble was always available.

On the right: most church communities in small midwestern/southern towns will make social media bubbles look like veritable cornucopias of diversity. Or if you have to live in a larger metro, you can very easily find pockets of people who all attend the same church, work for the same few employers, live in the same zip-code, etc. At my first employer (small finance company in the rural midwest) I joined a church because it was the only way to fit in. I think it's fair to say that the majority of the private K12 schools in the USA and the majority of the home-schooling community are explicitly about isolating your family from the out-group.

On the left: same thing. Live in the city, in particular neighborhoods within the city, send your kids to the right montessori, attend a liberal mainline church (or no church), etc.

I don't think there are more people isolating themselves in bubbles. It's just way easier and far less painful to moan about social media than to point out that a huge fraction of our built world and social infrastructure has the effect of forming various types of bubbles.

Social bubbles make it hard to maintain a huge coalition, because disagreeing with any one part of the hive mind can make life in the bubble unbearable even if you are happy with 90% of the other stuff (e.g., if you're socially and fiscally conservative except that you're openly gay, then the rural midwest church is probably a bubble you'll leave). Precise targeted and personalized advertising doesn't have that attribute.
> an equivalent workspace to a 1080p display—unusable for productivity and development.

I have to disagree here. I use (and have used) a 1080p display for years and don’t feel the need for anything larger. That might be an artifact of my early years on 80x25 character displays, though.
Except that on the projects I have been consulting, the last time I actually coded on a desktop was around 2006. And most customers nowadays just have IT throw a VM to externals.

> the left-right spectrum is an extremely lossy way of encoding both social and economic views.

It's not really in the US, where it's been studied and the main dimensions of political variability were a strong economic left-right axis and a weaker racial policy axis (Arend Lijphart, Patterns of Democracy), and since that study it's pretty clear that divisions on the race axis have aligned more tightly with those on the economic axis, making the US political spectrum even closer to a unidimensional one.
I think you are on to something here, breaking it down by metro regions. In Ontario, it is pretty much GTA vs the rest of the province, as much so that the easing of COVID restrictions as of now proceeds separately for Toronto for example.

It has been a while since I was in js land but I do recall writing a browser extension that needed to know this, and in chrome it was made available to detect whether your script was running in incognito. It was a property of something.

So I imagine as a starting point the Google Analytics client js could utilize this to avoid interacting with the analytics server altogether.
During the beginning of the dotcom Bust, we had an all-hands meeting. Someone asked the VP of Engineering if there was going to be layoffs. He said no, there was no need for layoffs.

When the all-hands meeting was done, and we returned to our desk, and there was an email waiting for us saying that we were going to have layoffs. He subsequently defended himself, saying that he wasn't allowed to say anything about the layoffs. There were so many ways he could have answered the question, like "We are exploring all avenues at this point" without lying straight to our faces and looking like an idiot, but he chose the exact worst way to answer it.

Obviously, his trust was completely lost by everyone in the org, and his reputation was completely ruined by this. No one trusted or believed him after that. He was an asshole anyway and was fired a year or so afterwards because of how ineffective he had become as a leader.
I have one, too. It's pretty sad that 16:10 has fallen out of style and that there is no 27" 2560x1600 display available.

Dell has the Ultrasharp UP3017 with 2560x1600 at 30", maybe that's something you can try if you want more pixels. It's just pretty expensive and has a big bezel since it was released in 2017.
Here it is in Erlang, which is another language which forces you not to think in loops:

csv_to_maps([Head | Lines]) ->
lists:map(fun(L) -> maps:from_list(lists:zip(Head), L)) end, Lines).

Another language which works differently is Rebol:

csv-to-maps: func [csv-data] [
map-each line next csv-data [map zipmap first csv-data line]
]

Whats interesting about above is that `first csv-data` will be re-evaluating on each `map-each` sequence. Of course you can assign to variable beforehand. Alternatively because code-is-data and vice-versa you can use COMPOSE it inline:

csv-to-maps: func [csv-data] [
map-each line next csv-data compose [map zipmap (first csv-data) line]
]

:)

NB. Rebol doesn't come with ZIPMAP so here's a definition for above to work:

zipmap: func [keys vals] [
collect [
forall keys [
keep reduce [keys/1 vals/(index? keys)]
]
]
]
The thing is, most discussions about Go are about adding features Rust has or making changes where Rust has something relevant to say.

I chose my analogy carefully. Coca-Cola tried to change its recipe to make it sweeter because they did studies and found people liked the taste of Pepsi more. So any discussion of changing Coke's flavor means Pepsi is highly relevant. But the converse is not necessarily true. Pepsi doesn't have any (recent) history of trying to match their flavor to Coke.

Maybe a better analogy is this: if Mercedes comes out with an electric car, you should expect to see Tesla in the discussions. But if Tesla comes out with a combustion engine, there's nothing particularly relevant about Mercedes in that discussion.

I'm sure that if there were discussions about adding structural typing or lightweight fibers to Rust, then Go would show up. But most of the discussions tend to be around adding generics or sum types to Go.
Disappointed that he didn't mention pixel-perfect programming fonts (e.g. proggy) which offer high-density text on low-resolution monitors while not looking nearly as bad as his Consolas example. These fonts make a huge difference imo.
I don't think it's fear, ego, or whatever other answers here have suggested. It's pure profit motivated. If employees knew things were going to hell, would they keep working or start looking for new jobs? The latter case has a higher chance to make the ship sink faster as employees leave, features would be put on hold, client obligations may go unfulfilled, and ultimately leading to loss of profit/revenue. That would not look good to shareholders, and to the golden handcuffs that may be hovering over VP heads when they also get laid off (they have metrics they are judged on too, you know).

That's why we hear so many stories of startups suddenly going bankrupt, leaving the grunt employees going, "huh"? They want to keep everyone on-board, working 100% efficiency, so that the elites at the top can reap everything before things go to crap.

That's pretty much it. All other reasons don't make sense when you include the entire hierarchy of a corporate structure and the goal of any company (it's money).

That's why telling the truth is so hard, because it affects the company's bottom line, whereas your life being inconvenienced doesn't. So companies just lie, or stay quiet until they have to tell the truth last minute.
Bitmap fonts will look perfect on low res displays. I've been using a 1366x768 laptop with terminus font for six years.

The search giant surreptitiously collects data through Google Analytics, Google Ad Manager, website plug-ins and other applications, including mobile apps, according to the complaint.

The web worked fine in the days before Google started building a profile of everyone who interacts with the internet so that they can sell us garbage we don't need. So how about stopping with the voracious data collection feeding into a permanent profile? You know, like the web used to work?

Bit of a backstory for how Trackiem came to be.

I've always been obsessed about tracking individual pieces of information in my life and finding patterns for certain activities. Like, activities that lead up to a headache., correlations between number of coffees I drink and number of hours I sleep and so on..

I have tried using specific tracker tools before but they always inevitably becomes not useful as they are targeted towards specific niche or goal (like habit building, budget planning, etc)., whereas I wanted something generic that offers just the right tools and lets me build my trackers to the way I want. Hence, I built Trackiem.

I've built it to be as much un-opinionated as possible, by just offering the components that makes up a tracker and let users customize it the way they want.

This is only the initial version which lets you create trackers with basic "types" and "frequencies" with reminders. I've planned exciting things down the line for though, such as customized dashboard & reminders, more nuanced tracker types - this will allow you to build your own finance tracker, time tracker and so on.

Excited for the launch and any feedback is much appreciated!
> Text can’t be made look good on low-resolution displays.

BS. Maybe true on user-hostile OSX/windows. But If LCD manufacturers provided the correct information on the DID data, it would be very trivial.

On linux and with a little trial and error (you only have to do it once per monitor ever) you can fine tune the subpixel hinting. I use a photographer loupe (magnifying glass) to look at the a white region on my ancient LCDs to see the subpixel configuration, set it on my X config and have perfect aliased text just fine. ...well, except on some gtk2 applications :) But if you work more than a few minutes on those you have other problems.
I'm also hanging on to my 30" Apple Cinema (and adapters to work with a new USB-C MBP). The LG 5K seems like a decent replacement though, I'm not totally clear why it seems so unpopular.
Businesses (at least in Denver) were boarded up months before the riots. It's about the property being unattended, plywood is quick and easy to put up as well as take down when the employees are back.

I agree that they shouldn't be used to imply the business is permanently closed. The effect in the photos is still pretty striking.
Another option for low DPI users is to use bitmap fonts instead of vector ones. I find blurriness of truetype fonts on low res displays to give greater visual fatigue than the jagged edges of misc-fixed or terminus.

Also, now that many people's connections are IPv6, the server can identify individual computers behind a router. Though your laptop's IPv6 may not be a permanent address, it lasts long enough to track you.

If you're logged in to any web services on your computer, other web requests can then be correlated to non-authenticated requests from the same IP.

I feel like IPv4 with NAT was an accidental privacy win.

I think the solution for this is for operating systems to allow applications to request a fresh IP address, or something like that. Obviously that would be a highly difficult and disruptive change at multiple levels...

How I make yogurt:

Requires:

* a Digital temperature regulator
* a non digital crockpot (mechanical on/off switch)

1. Dump milk into gallon jar.
2. Stir 1/2 C yogurt into milk.
3. Put jar in crockpot
4. Pour water around jar
5. Insert temp probe into water
6. Plug crockpot into temp regulator and temp regulator into wall
7. Set temp regulator at or below 115 deg F
8. Cover with towel or apron to hold in heat
9. Wait 12-36 hours to taste.

Total working time: 5 min.
Total cost per gallon: < $2.00

You don’t have to pre boil the milk if you’re going to use a commercial probiotic yogurt rather than chaining. That’s the biggest time and effort saver: not having to watch a slowly heating pot of milk and preventing it from boiling.

"Non welcome" doesn't appear in the CoC. The most vague part, I would say, is:

> Please be kind and courteous. There’s no need to be mean or rude.

The bar is extremely low here. No one is saying "you have to say please and thank you or you're banned" it's more like don't personally insult people to an extreme. That could be more explicit, since some people may have a harder time interpreting that - seems like valuable feedback.

I am quite sure that many members of the rust community are far from neurotypical and they do fine. Autistic people are capable of technical conversations in which they are not attacking people.

“More than one thing at a time”
Yep - Instant Pot makes it really simple. Do make sure your model has a yogurt button (not all do). It works something like 95% of the time. You'll easily make up the cost of the Instant Pot with just yogurt if you eat as often as I do.

The only modification I make is that after the milk has cooled down to about 110F, I pour the milk into containers, and put the containers in the Instant Pot. I add water to the IP to make a water bath. This way when the yogurt forms, it is in my final container I want it in.

Some other "tips": I do 6.5 hours - it is enough. For the cooling, I simply put the hot pot in the fridge and wait an hour - easier than continually checking the temperature. I've timed it such that an hour will get it to about right. In any case, it's OK if you forgot about it and it gets cold - you can still make yogurt - you only have to adjust the time (so instead of 6.5 hours for me I may do 8 hours with cold "boiled" milk).

Even that common goal often ends up being an IRL McGuffin when the real point for most people is to get paid. For some, reaching that goal may be counter to their employment or workplace comfort. The common goal may not actually be so common, especially if the means to reach that goal elevates some over others, which almost certainly will happen in any hierarchy.
