Even a 75kWh battery would be expensive and heavy, and probably overkill in this case. If 100 miles of range is more than enough for most routes for the day, then something like 30kWh might be more reasonable.

Also one might be able to keep costs down by optimizing for cost rather than energy density. LiFeP04 cells have been comparatively expensive, but it seems price has been dropping lately. It's also a good choice for safety and durability reasons, and because they don't use cobalt which is sort of expensive and sort of rare. Not using cobalt means avoiding a resource that would bottleneck other manufacturers of EVs.

It'd be interesting to know what the actual specs are on the EV version of the USPS vans (battery type, capacity, etc...) and see if my speculation corresponds to what they chose. I don't know if they've released that publicly yet.

A 30kWh battery could easily be 5 or 10 thousand dollars, which may well be worth it to save on gas for a long time; on the other hand, gas engines are well-understood and really cheap, because we have a huge established industry that builds engines by the millions and has been optimizing for cost for over a hundred years.

This sounds a lot like the "Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness" from Terry Pratchett that generally eventually gets quoted in this sorts of discussion.

I started using Docker heavily about 3 years into my current project and that was the right time. There's real overhead to getting things to work on compared to a local dev environment, but there are major benefits, especially once you actually do need to run the same thing on multiple machines. It's a pretty classic example of something with a high constant factor but better scaling properties.

I use it on https://mudlet.org and it's amazing. No Linux users are ever issues with them - it's an effectively solved distribution problem.

The one drawback is that you need to use an ancient compiler, but for our purposes that ancient compiler supports C++17 so that is okay for the time being.
I just want to say, I know exactly how you felt. The confusion upon confusion. Is this everything? Forever? Panic. It's ok. A good trip is worth it. It all makes sense in the end. The "perspective shift" of which you speak is the perspective of everything, right?
You don’t need to scale your application vertically even with media processing, you just need to distribute that chunk of the work, which is a lot easier (no state).

I desire the ability to use the Google Photos app without giving it all my photos on this device. Perhaps I only want to share my camera photos and not the screenshots I take, or whatever. Google Photos gets around this by pretending that it cannot function without access to all my photos…which is basically the definition of circumvention.

I am not claiming that the App Store Review Guidelines can magically make an app model feasible; instead my claim is that Apple claims that all apps on the App Store follow the guidelines and Google agrees to this so they can distribute their apps on the store. I actually strongly disagree with the situation surrounding the App Store as it is currently, but this is how it is for now and if we apply the rules consistently then Google Photos as it is now cannot be in the App Store. There is no provision that says "you can bend the rules if they are an existential threat to your business".
What surprises me us that the USPS is buying the vehicles directly from Oshkosh as a customer, rather than buying the technical design package and contracting construction out to several smaller companies.

Unit cost would be higher but it would be laying the groundwork for the next generation of vehicle, sustaining those smaller companies and encouraging innovation. As well as avoiding too much reliance on one supplier.

A lot of the confusion comes from the hazy definition of what "Docker" is. Not helped by the fact that Docker-the-company uses it for some pretty wildly varying things. Eg this post talks about "deploying Docker"... probably they're not talking about the Linux dev tool /usr/bin/docker anymore (or is it called Moby now?), since you usually don't use that to deploy in production.

That text was already there in the original version from June 2020. It appears that the newly added text is underlined in the document you linked. Here is the relevant bit:

--

(h) A business’s methods for submitting requests to opt-out shall be easy for consumers to execute and shall require minimal steps to allow the consumer to opt-out. A business shall not use a method that is designed with the purpose or has the substantial effect of subverting or impairing a consumer’s choice to opt-out. Illustrative examples follow:

(1) The business’s process for submitting a request to opt-out shall not require more steps than that business’s process for a consumer to opt-in to the sale of personal information after having previously opted out. The number of steps for submitting a request to opt- out is measured from when the consumer clicks on the “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link to completion of the request. The number of steps for submitting a request to opt-in to the sale of personal information is measured from the first indication by the consumer to the business of their interest to opt-in to completion of the request.

(2) A business shall not use confusing language, such as double-negatives (e.g., “Don’t Not Sell My Personal Information”), when providing consumers the choice to opt-out.

(3) Except as permitted by these regulations, a business shall not require consumers to click through or listen to reasons why they should not submit a request to opt-out before confirming their request.

(4) The business’s process for submitting a request to opt-out shall not require the consumer to provide personal information that is not necessary to implement the request.

(5) Upon clicking the “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link, the business shall not require the consumer to search or scroll through the text of a privacy policy or similar document or webpage to locate the mechanism for submitting a request to opt-out.

Everybody makes mistakes. Bugs are inevitable.

Managerial problems that allow high-impact, low-fix-time, high-prevalence bugs to exist for 7 years are shameful and are in fact poison to an organization themselves.

Don't mistake the shaming for really being about the bug itself here. The problem isn't the bug, it's the organizational culture that allowed such a massive, easily fixed, widely encountered bug to persist for 7 years in a game that has made them $6 billion dollars over the last few years.
Honestly, not too bad. At least it's organized as recognizable functions. It just has a lot of useless repetitions that should've been implemented as lookup tables or format strings.

What is the correct term to describe this type of code?

I used to call it "Spaghetti Code". But I recently learned that it's incorrect. "Spaghetti Code" only refers to programs with messy and unclear control flows (especially unstructured programs that abuse goto), it's not the correct term for code with useless repetitions.

I used to have very full ~/bin, and ~/$(hostname), directories. In the end I pared them back and started bundling things together in one binary.

The end result is very similar to this approach, I run "sysbox blah", or "sysbox help", and use integrated subcommands.

Very helpful and makes deployment easy by having only a single binary:

Darfur is mostly ignored by Americans for the same reason that the overwhelming majority of charity donations are given to local organizations and not global ones. Your efforts to help local causes can be seen by you, and sometimes very quickly (e.g. soup kitchens).

> Massive systems miss the design intent and, to a great extent, nearly every benefit of using UNIX over VAX

I take it you meant to say "VMS" here, not VAX.

I don't think the size of a system is essential to whether it counts as "UNIX" or not. The normal trajectory of any system which starts small is to progressively grow bigger, as demands and use cases and person-years invested all accumulate. UNIX has followed exactly that trajectory. I don't see why if a small system gradually grows bigger it at some point stops being itself.

I think there are three main senses of UNIX – "trademark UNIX" (passing the conformance test suite and licensing the trademark from the Open Group), "heritage/genealogical UNIX" (being descended from the original Bell Labs Unix code base), "Unix-like" (systems like Linux which don't descend from Bell Labs code and, with rare exception, don't formally pass the test suite and license the trademark, but which still aim at a very high degree of Unix compatibility). I think all three senses are valid, and I don't think size or scale is an essential component of any of them.

UNIX began life on small machines (PDP-7 then PDP-11), but was before long ported to some very large ones (for their day) – such as IBM mainframes – and the operating system tends to grow to match the scale of the environment it is running in. AT&T's early 1980s IBM mainframe port [0] was noticeably complicated, being written as a layer on top of the pre-existing (and obscure) IBM mainframe operating system TSS/370. If being small is essential to being UNIX, UNIX was only a little more than 10 years old before it was already starting to grow out of being itself.

Turning this question on its head:

What should I do when someone asks for help?

Coach, don't fix.

If you help someone find the answer to a problem, and give them the support they need to learn, you'll find that you both resolved the underlying issue, and that you gave them tools they need to become better at what they do. You'll also set an example for them when someone comes to them for help.

It's a brilliant piece of work breaking down what is involved in good design. It would be a brilliant piece of work even if it weren't using a criticism of Dribbble as the hook.

YC talks about founders "playing house." They rent an office. They hire some of their buddies. They get all the trappings of a business, but there's no actual business.

There's no actual goal, other than "start a business," and no one has answered the only other question that really matters in business: How are we going to make money? (The first question is "What problem are we solving?" and the second is "How will we make money from solving it?")

The whys and wherefores he says should be the norm for what you talk about amounts to sharing your secret sauce. No, you don't want to really be sharing that casually online to make chitchat in a space like Dribbble. Of course it's going to focus on the most superficial part of the process.

The same thing happens in GIS when the people making the maps are not the people who need the maps. You end up with a "map shop" and you end up with people trying to prettify the maps because making the maps is all they do.

A good map will tend to be described by people as beautiful but a beautiful map isn't necessarily a good map. A good map is beautiful in an engineer's aesthetic -- an elegant design that flows well because flowing well is part of what makes it work well. A map made beautiful for the sake of beauty because printing the map is the only role you have tends to fail at being a highly useful, well-designed map.

In community development or place making work, it is well known that "beautiful" places tend to be more prosperous. So some people think you make a place prosperous by making it beautiful, though I have yet to personally see anything that genuinely pins down the exact relationship between "beauty" and prosperity and I am very skeptical that simply prettifying the place actually makes it more prosperous.

I suspect this works more like good maps: Good places tend to look good to the human mind but looking good doesn't, per se, make for a good place.

It's vastly easier to start an article by finding a hook like this and probably a good way to connect to an audience. It's much more challenging to write "Here is an excellent design process" and give it a title the world will find interesting and want to click into.

This article is well worth the read even if you don't give a darn about Dribbble or the hook that inspired its creation. It's been written by someone who knows how to make things actually happen and recognizes superficial BS when they see it and can tell you what the correct and meaty process looks like.

It's just hard to get started writing about the correct and meaty process without some jumping off point and it's hugely hard to write good titles for such.

But this is a don't miss article if you have any interest in what good design is all about.

There's not need to be dismissive. C++ has a somewhat strange position in that it is statically typed but the mechanism of type resolution is fairly loose. This, coupled with SFINAE, allows for concise declarations of things that would take much more work in other languages (or not be possible). If you've ever written a generic constraint in Rust specifying every arithmetic operation that you use in the function body, then you'll know what I mean.

For people who don't know, this bank (HDFC) was dinged and penalized by the central governing bank (Reserve Bank of India) because of the frequent outages of their banking systems.

They restricted the bank from issuing new credit cards for a year which is a big penalty all things considered. Also, they were given a deadline to get their tech stable and they actually brought in an IT provider for the bank to fix things which was bit high handed. But the bank was very big in the country and a failure can have cascading affects which was the reason said by the central governing bank.

I believe it was the first of the kind in the country to penalize a bank because their tech was unstable.
