> I've seen people write pages and pages of text to say a few simple things

Heh...reminds me of a couple anecdotes from my days in school.

Sometimes as we were being handed back tests/quizzes that had some questions that required a couple sentences to answer, there'd be times where I did exactly that. I wrote only a couple sentences. Meanwhile, I glance at the person next to me to discover that they had wrote two entire paragraphs. I got marked as having a correct answer with only two sentences, so what the hell were they writing about?

Then I had a teacher who, before the final exam, said that every question is able to be answered in four sentences or less. If you write several paragraphs, you would lose points for wasting his time, even if your answer was correct.
I know what you mean. After all the tracking data collected and ML models trained the primary metric for suggesting content still seems to be "stuff other people are reading/watching/playing/listening"
Nope. Easily faked. There are centres where people get paid $5-10/day to like, follow, comment, etc here. They use bots too.

Why, yes, I too wish the world saw the value in modularity and that the Unixes and Hypercards took off in the way they were intended, but it's going to take a heck of a lot more than one company.

If they own the phone and that's what they want then it should be available to them.

> Namely, apps can simply request root access and, boom!, they will have it after the mere tap of a button.

How easy the root account should be to access is debatable. I agree that one-tap-root by default without some kind of authentication beyond physical access is probably not the best idea, but I don't think that is what the OP was proposing. The point is that the owner should have root access to customize the software if they want it, without begging anyone's permission (e.g. phones requiring a code from the manufacturer to unlock) or having key features disabled (e.g. "SafetyNet").

Haha yeah. One of the worst offenders of this that I've seen is the community at discussions.apple.com. So many times have I been googling something that I wonder about macOS and there are results from discussions.apple.com and the responses are not at all helpful; instead they offer irrelevant suggestions.

Meanwhile, results from apple.stackexchange.com are consistently great in my experience. (Like a lot of the other SE sites.)
I think you misunderstood my comment. I’m arguing that relational databases would be more useful if they had sum-type semantics. Data models often have OR-shaped data, and pretending like this class of data doesn’t exist and making it the purview off application code makes relational databases much less useful than they might otherwise be.

This is true. They invest in the education and socialization of their children so their children can go get good jobs and earn big paychecks in a well-paying, low-risk industry. However that is not the same as living on accumulated wealth for generations.
Before anyone flags this for being "political": don't. This is about human rights, not politics. Don't conflate the two.

Same for me. There was also a time when Chrome dev tools builtin was superiour to the Firefox builtins or Firebug, respectively.

Nowadays, I don't know what to think about built-in dev tools. On the one hand, they promise lowering the entry barrier for fellow ongoing devs. On the other hand, they apparently aren't, because many folks don't care about learning all the basics of HTML, JS, CSS, etc. any more but instead prefer to enter the development world on a framework level. Developer extensions like "Vue tools" make stuff only more complicated, not less, thought.
From the article:

> Nikola's fortunes are now tied to the success of the Nikola Two, Badger, and other products. If those products are successful, it probably won't matter that the Nikola One was never drivable.

I'm trying to figure out what is the difference between Nikola One and Two. By comparing https://nikolamotor.com/one and https://nikolamotor.com/two there doesn't seem to be any difference at all, apart from the pictures and videos. The specs are the same, technology is the same, performance is the same, all of the promotional text is the same, etc.

I'm a bit surprised by the down votes, it would be nice to have some comments for discussion...

To clarify I'm not saying that climate change isn't a critical thing to address, I'm just saying that the doomsday clock is no longer a measure of how imminent nuclear war as the parent thread mentioned.

Yes I do think it's ridiculous that the doomsday clock is closer to zero now than during the Cuban missile crises. I don't think this is a very controversial statement. Would be very nice to get some comments rather than just downvotes.
Any reason why this requires both Python and Nodejs?
When I first poked at this hypothesis, I came away feeling that the best characterization was that it's an area of academic dispute where both sides have credibility and neither side can be accurately considered fringe or mainstream, in contrast to your initial comment. Nothing you have said has shaken that belief, and I have no relevant scientific expertise to offer in support of one side or the other. I have my personal opinion on which side I feel has the better evidence and prefer on the balance of probabilities, but what that opinion is is ultimately unimportant.

That said, there is one thing that mildly concerned me when I read your first comment and that your later comments have only reinforced my impressions. You seem to be approaching this topic from an evangelical perspective, and not a scientific one: that there is a core belief, this needs to be disseminated to as many people as possible, and that anything that challenges that belief needs to be swiftly eliminated. Your rhetoric--"Neanderthal", "black eye for geology"--does not help your argument. I only bring this up because I saw a video over the weekend [1] discussing Flat Earthers and some of the argumentation style they used, and on reflection, it was striking how similar your comments were, just on an acceptable opinion rather than a loony idea.

Don't worry they wont be building it themselves. Or likely build it at all.
I just thought that i feel like a medieval guild craftsman must have felt during the industrial revolution. We did have all this sharp and complicated tools we installed and configured on our laptops ourselves, spent years in apprenticeship just to learn now to awk or exit vim. Passed the secret knowledge to our own padawans.

And now they are replacing it with what? An IDE in a browser??? that you can just point to and start writing code? just like that??? 8-)

I agree that the quality of language runtimes are neglected all too often, as opposed to language features. I had similar reasoning when I wrote about it earlier this year - https://blog.commure.com/whycommureusesrustforhealthcare/
Or do what I did, and drop out of college and go back to finish it several years later, and just put the year I graduated on there. My education makes me seem younger than I actually am for the people that judge by that.
Yeah. I can't see just using the MTBF for the drives and not having any spares. Shit happens.
Your recollection of the statement is so on point. I often can only recall things this clearly when they are that dumb.
I have held speeches. They required lots of preparation but they were still terrible. Holding good speeches is really hard. Especially for politicians, who must be careful not to say anything factually incorrect, insult anyone or otherwise embarrass themselves ("Please clap").

Suppose you are a politician bankrolled by the oil industry and you're invited to speak at a climate change conference. How do you ensure that your speak neither upset the climate change activists or your rich donors? Not easy.
You're talking about 'IT', but it sounds more like sysadmins. And in my experience sysadmins have always been like this. I saw this 15 years ago even when I first started and was taken on consultancies.

Programmers are not like this and are generally quite excited to be working with something new, then and now.
From the linked article, here is the full quote:

> "The entire infotainment system is a HTML 5 super computer," Milton said. "That's the standard language for computer programmers around the world, so using it let's us build our own chips. And HTML 5 is very secure. Every component is linked on the data network, all speaking the same language. It's not a bunch of separate systems that somehow still manage to communicate."
Every engineer that works on working with Nikola is not working on trying to catch up in EV.

When it was just Tesla it was fine for them to be bad at making EV. Now that VW and others are starting to get serious, they really need to make something happen.
I’ve been moving off google services to privately hosted email. Apple seems to care about user privacy more than other tech companies. There’s nothing wrong with ordering online, without internet services our lives would be worse and I wouldn’t have a job. I try to order from small businesses over Amazon whenever possible.

You can reduce your dependence on big tech without eliminating it entirely. The world isn’t black and white. Facebook in particular is far more offensive to me than any of the companies you named, so I expend extra effort to avoid it.
I don't really get their plans. Personal backup is unlimited in storage size, but limited in the number of backing up computers. There are quite a lot of similiar services. In the end, the average plans are at the order of $2 per terabyte per month. Of course it's hard to beat that with buying the hardware and running them at home. Anyway I feel more safe when I run my own hardware.
>1. It would be great if you gave a shell level access to the teacher/paid accounts to manage shared REPLs. When there are 100s of shared URLs to deal with, the UI is very limited to search and find repls.

Like an account wide shell access? That's an interesting idea although not sure about the feasibility since every repl is it's own container.

One thing we've been toying with is a CLI-like tool that let's you manage your account. We can add account-wide grep and things like it there. You can access an early version here: https://repl.it/~/cli

>2. While I understand the need to simplify UI, it is not clear why "Python" REPL comes with a folder view to the left by "Python + PyGames" one doesn't. Similarly shell is only accessible in certain types of REPLs. I understand there some key combination to start shell, but only works some of the time.

This is great feedback and we're already starting to address it. The difference between different environments is annoying. I believe PyGame is the same environment so you might be talking about "Python with Turtle" which currently runs a different environment. We're getting close to addressing all this.

As for the shell it's accessible everywhere now, you can pull it up from the command-bar https://blog.repl.it/commandbar

>3. I had a case of one REPL running an infinite loop - none of us could do anything to terminate it.

That's surprising to hear because we do a lot of work to try to handle infinite loops and make it easy to terminate (try this for example https://repl.it/@amasad/loop-test). Do you remember exact steps or do you have a link to debug? You can always email me with bugs or feedback: amjad@repl.it

>4. Once we wrote some code that generated a file. It took us several refresh/logout sequences to make it visible in the file manager - clear support for such use-cases would be helpful.

It's actually quite common use-case to generate files and while incredibly tricky to make it work well I believe we've recently became better at this. Can you give it another shot? Again please email me with the repl if it doesn't work.

Thanks so much, feedback like this is always valuable. You'd be happy to know that a company-wide priority right now is quality, bugs, and reliability. By early next year we'll be much more polished.
>Our investigation of the site and text messages from a former employee reveal that the video was an elaborate ruse—Nikola had the truck towed to the top of a hill on a remote stretch of road and simply filmed it rolling down the hill.

I wonder about this phrase -

> Far more blatant AirPods knockoffs are readily available on Amazon.

Does it imply this OnePlus buds are far less blatant AirPods knockoffs? But still "blatant AirPods knockoffs"? And so, it's like arguing with a highway patrol officer, "No sir, that one other car was driving much faster than I, why didn't you stop them first?"

I guess that's an unfortunate choice of words.
There is no age requirement on being a recent college grad. They tend to be clustered tightly in a certain age range, but a 45 year old graduating would still have access to that same recruiting pipeline.

Simplifying your workflow: Getting started with DDEV
I think most modern OS kernels support realtime threads with a guarantee strong enough to support this kind of workflow. As Paul Davis points out in a different comment, the latency needs of audio and video are actually more similar than they are different, and pro audio is possible (though still harder than it should be).

But I don't want to underestimate the engineering challenges either. You'd have to make this stuff actually work.
It isn't a matter of thinking less of the clones--they'd probably be my best buds, probably closer than family. They'd understand that we are not the same person also.

My clones would understand the example is rhetorical to prove the point we absolutely do not share consciousness. That, all things being equal if I die, the movie in my head stops playing, and the one in their head keeps going, but does nothing for me. And since all that is the case, it proves we cannot be the same because our location in space and time is different, and there is no sharing of thoughts, and they can exist entirely independent of whether I exist or not, or even whether the clones have clones.

But the Nikola truck is more than just a fuel cell vehicle; it’s a rolling super computer. One of the key elements of Nikola’s advanced system is the Bosch Vehicle Control Unit, which provides higher computing power for advanced functions while reducing the number of standalone units.

"The entire infotainment system is a HTML 5 super computer," Milton said. "That's the standard language for computer programmers around the world, so using it let's us build our own chips. And HTML 5 is very secure. Every component is linked on the data network, all speaking the same language. It's not a bunch of separate systems that somehow still manage to communicate."

I know someone who got extra severance conditional on non-disparagement when leaving a pretty modest Canadian tech company.

You can get anti fouling that lasts for 10 years.
I've worked among people that share those sentiments. I would characterize them as being wary of hidden risks and I can't disagree with their position.

Like everything else on a hype train a lot of the people talking don't communicate essential details, or even the basics.

"There is no cloud, it's just someone else's computer."

It makes complete sense that experienced IT teams would be hesitant to move their employers' stuff onto another company's infrastructure which they have no control over.

I'm torn, I don't think of Pis as traditional servers and have two dedicated servers on my network. AND I have a half dozen Pis that I use for hosting OctoPrint, DNS, SSH, IoT, Pi-Hole, etc... which are traditionally Server functions.

I tend to think of Pis in terms of single function appliances. They're obviously capable of more but they're so cheap you can just throw one at a single problem and forget about it.

Piesync looks cool. I don't see any databases on their list, so it looks to be mainly syncing between SaaS apps. We are open source and running in your own cloud as more of an ETL process.

Grouparoo is set up with sources and destinations. The most common sources are likely to be databases/warehouses and the most common destinations are tools like Marketo/Zendesk/etc. That being said, Zendesk will likely be a source one day to pull user info into Grouparoo (number of tickets created, lastEmailedAt, etc). Databases can already be destinations (write back out the member of the VIP group to Postgres, in addition to sending it to Marketo and Zendesk).

I'm not sure all of that is two-way sync or not, but it's certainly round-tripping the data. If you really want a full duplication in your data warehouse of a SaaS tool, I'd look into Stitch or Fivetran at this point. Then, Grouparoo will happily read that :-)
Not much difference, it seems.
> I sold digital goods on eBay a few times (like, less than 10 times) and I've already got 3 (!) people claiming their purchase is "unauthorized" after I sent them the goods (redeem codes, so I can't really let them "return").

This shit is why I don't sell on eBay anymore.

I have a friend who sells stuff on eBay a lot (or at least, used to), and he says about 5% of his sales go to scammers who will request refunds claiming they never received an item.

Of course, now that I think more on it, I wonder how many of those 5% were scammers versus how many of them simply had their package stolen from their front door.
Oh absolutely. I admit it’s not foolproof, but if a page named “Amazon” only had 100,000 likes, I’d be a bit suspicious. For comparison, the actual Amazon FB page has 19 million likes IIRC.
