> I do wish Apple had worked on optimising macOS for older hardware more

I didn't enjoy seeing my Intel macs get perceptually slower and slower with each release, and I'd be very afraid of how unoptimized the MacOS can get now, with a performance headroom Apple bought themselves with M1 :/.

Meanwhile my 2014-era Haswell gaming PC with an old 500 MB/s SATA SSD boots Windows 10 in a few seconds (about 4-5 times faster than my M1 Air).
How do hidden solar panels (tiles or whatever other option) raise the value less?

Like, if you're buying a house, even if the solar panels are perfectly hidden, they'll still be prominently mentioned on the listing and by the agent. I'd imagine they'd even be more valuable than bulky and obvious panels, since those tend to look kinda ugly, especially on some more vintage house designs.
Trying to be edgy by talking ill of the dead isn't either.
If they do that, it is really risky. SOX applies to them, and pushing out invoices by not raising them, for goods delivered, kind of violates revenue recognition requirements. Even if it is by mistake.
Might be the market is showing that solar shingles are stupid like solar roadways when compared to the alternatives. But solar shingles does sound cool.
That doesnt sound like fax. Or better, if you include this and fax together, you’d have to describe it as a generic technology that allows sending images remotely. Which may actually survive the telephone.
Does anyone know how many installations they are even completing?

According to their Q4/2020 report [1], they deployed 200MW of solar in 2020, which doesn't sound that spectacular for a solar company (globally, new installations in 2020 were > 100GW). Admittedly, I don't know a thing about solar, though.

Perfect!
It depends on when you take it.
> I’m really confused how anyone at Tesla allows their solar division to run like this

There may be a reason why SolarCity was going bankrupt, and why Elon Musk used his position in Tesla to bail out its primary shareholders (Himself).

It could be that the SolarCity business is just not ran well, and after Tesla bailed it out, it... Continues to not be ran well.
How Google SRE and Developers Work Together
We keep assuming body and mind are separated things, but separating the concept of ink and paper doesn't help you understand the full nature of a book.
We know life time of solar panels, much less than infinity. And next we should ask why don't they sell same roofing material without extra complication solar panels if it really last for whole lifetime of building. Shouldn't that alone be massive market? Or allow someone to licence it?

Most folks don't pay that much in tax, and I'm guessing that your state taxes, federal taxes, insurance premiums, and deductible is more than whatever tax rate you'd be paying in most countries that charge similarly.

It isn't like you get a real say in where your taxes are spent in any country, honestly, and part of paying taxes is that they get spent on some thing you don't like. Not only that, but no one is really held accountable by competition in most things that taxes pay for (health care and infrastructure and a safety net aren't held accountable because of economics since someone always has leverage and they are easily monopolies as the choice isn't real).

> but relatively frequently blueprint devs can't transition to C++/"raw" game code.

I agree that if you are looking to become a gameplay or engine programmer, demonstrable C++ (or C# for Unity) is essential. Bear in mind that js or python, and sometimes even C# are often considered as scripting languages for non-programmers.

Other roles might be closed to your skillset though. Some backend/server /tools stuff might use python. Some engines use a streamlined form of javascript to drive the UI. Or there's UI/UX design roles.
And if you are writing a blog, it should be written in a way that it could be read 10 years ago if you want it to be read in 10 years if we're following Taleb's thinking.

Julia has always had the ability to call Python code. For example you can use PyPlot/matplotlib as a plotting backend for Julia.

There is no way to bootstrap a scientific language without leveraging existing ecosystems. But this is a starting point. Whenever someone find a sklearn model to slow, or misses the automatic parallelism that Julia brings, they can just implement the model in Julia, and bit by bit the non-Julia bits get swapped out where it brings a real benefit.
It works even for physical pain. The way I see it, wanting the pain (or the anxiety) to go a away creates tension, which adds to the existing issue. You then want the tension and original pain to go away, so add on more tension… and it gets worse and worse. Not only does tension itself lead to pain in the long run, but if you tense around a painful place, you also immediately make it more painful.

By accepting the original issue, you are left with it only, and not all the added tension, which is much more bearable.

It's because then the other fields, such as the source and destination registers can stay in the same place across various opcodes. In the rare cases there's an immediate field, such as the jump offset, it uses what would otherwise be a register or an operand.

Sapiens is an apt book to quote for this.

There is also a chapter on brain chemicals:

"Some air-conditioning systems are set at twenty-five degrees Celsius. Others are set at twenty degrees. Human happiness conditioning systems also differ from person to person. On a scale from one to ten, some people are born with a cheerful biochemical system that allows their mood to swing between levels six and ten, stabilising with time at eight. Such a person is quite happy even if she lives in an alienating big city, loses all her money in a stock-exchange crash and is diagnosed with diabetes. Other people are cursed with a gloomy biochemistry that swings between three and seven and stabilises at five. Such an unhappy person remains depressed even if she enjoys the support of a tight-knit community, wins millions in the lottery and is as healthy as an Olympic athlete. Indeed, even if our gloomy friend wins $50,000,000 in the morning, discovers the cure for both AIDS and cancer by noon, makes peace between Israelis and Palestinians that afternoon, and then in the evening reunites with her long-lost child who disappeared years ago – she would still be incapable of experiencing anything beyond level seven happiness. Her brain is simply not built for exhilaration, come what may."

Pay - expect to be mapped to their levels, and your pay related to that level. Not much flexibility unless you are promoted to the next level after performance review. So make sure mapping is done fairly. They would usually use your CTO and other tech leaders to help them map.

Layoffs - law probability, but with each perf review 5% is expected to get less than Meets All - and those are candidates for departure.

Politics - it’s terrible. Try not to let anyone from MSFT join your team for as long as you can - or interview them ferociously and gather references from several teams that they worked with before, to make sure you are not getting a surprise. Some of the transfers from MSFT to our team had previously known HR issues that we were not aware of but later on got hurt by.
Äike – First e-scooter developed and assembled in Europe
The 25 years is interesting. Tile roofs over here, Europe / EU, last way longer than that. On both my grand parents houses, from the 50s, the roof was not replaced yet. If something goes, it is usually due to damage or because the construction under it rots over time due to leaks that aren't fixed.

We have a rather flat roof, so no tiles, and the bitumen cover has to covered with a new layer every 10 years or so. This is also considerably cheaper than tiles.

imagine thinking breaching contract is illegal.

I mean, the wording is shady, but exiting contracts isn't some end of the universe event, you pay whatever penalty are present for the contract termination and that's it.

People are also free to sue for monetary damages incurred from having to pay upfront whatever work they had to do to prepare their roof, and again, doesn't make exiting a contract illegal.

Parent is right in not jumping the shark and branding things names they aren't.
> As Stephen Porges, PhD, a psychologist and the creator of the Polyvagal Theory

Funny. Just yesterday I googled "polyvagal theory" after accidentally stumbling upon it after googling for "HRV training" after hearing about it from Tim Ferriss on his youtube channel.

Anyway - a quick research yielded that PVT and Mr. Porges are both rather questionable. [1]

> The thinking brain isn’t what decides whether we’re stressed, whether we’re feeling threatened or challenged, whether we’re going to turn stress on, whether we’re going to turn emotions on,

I'd question that and bring thought loops forward as a counterexample. You can very well intensify a state of anxiety by dwelling on some thought.

> So if you want to track your anxiety, your body, not your thoughts, will be your most accurate map.

That is true, though - after all anxiety is a physical sensation. I can attest to that waking up now for several weeks almost every day with stomach aching, increased heart rate and shallow breathing.

> The problem is that when it comes to regulating our nervous system after a stress response (read: anxiety), our thinking brain is the absolute worst tool for the job

I'd also questin that. It's true that the thinking brain on its own will never find a solution for something like anxiety. But you need the thinking brain to identify the problem and come up with a solution. If the thinking brain is a hammer then your guts are a screw driver.

> talk therapy analyzing all the reasons you’re anxious, this is probably a hard pill to swallow. Not only did all that talking not do much to alleviate anxiety, but it could also even have made it more acute.

Talk therapy addresses the thinking brain and is hence limited. But a good talking therapy is not just being experienced by exchanging words. If the therapist is worth her money she'll connect on an emotional level.

> Is there any role for talk therapy, or trying to think logically about your anxiety? Absolutely. But only once your body is regulated, Stanley says: “After we have helped our survival brain feel safe and stable, then we can work on our thoughts.

This attitude is symptomatic of our misguided medical profession which always seeks to compartmentalize and modularize instead of integrate and connect. Both approaches can go very well hand in hand.

Sprucing up a screenshot post-capture with a "virtual camera"
I've encountered something like this in a work of fiction, Mary Doria Russell's The Sparrow. In the book, investors find young, brilliant but impoverished children, usually in crisis-struck places (war, civil strife, etc). They sponsor the young people's top-tier education and earn their salary when they become professionals, the sponsored only receiving a stipend necessary for living until their debt is paid off.

> These contracts are private, as long as neither party seeks to break the deal - then no regulatory agency will intervene.

Not sure about the US, but in many parts of Europe, contracts are subject to law, and cannot override it. But new laws can override existing contracts.
I assume it is the same in the US, because all US contracts I saw contained an "Invalid Clauses"-clause: https://www.lawinsider.com/clause/invalid-clauses

Aren't there any rules on loans in the US too? To my knowledge, there are strict limitations as to bundling of services.

There is no python distribution system that will allow me to create a binary for MacOS or Windows without running MacOS or windows, which is only one of the many problems with the existing solutions. Yes, I'm aware of the why. It just shouldn't matter to me.

Language, physical location, type of work, religion... so many possible divisions that just focusing on race does not make sense. In some countries race might not be as dividing. You are thinking as if the US framework was the same as in the rest of the world, and it isn’t. I’ll put you an example: in a few months we will have elections in my region, Madrid. We have quite a lot of immigrants (15-20% IIRC) and yet it’s not an axis of division between groups. District and wealth matters much, much more.
I think the grandparent was saying that the super visible solar panels allow the house owner to signal to their neighbors/visitors/friends/family that they are environmentally conscious, thus getting social credit for the solar installation.

I.e. The social cachet from the older style panels being super visible outweighs the reduced asthetic, therefore people will not pay extra for nicer looking solar.
I've been a little while out of doing side projects (I've always loved coding outside of work - but perhaps burnt myself an existing trading bot project). The last few months I've been building a multiplayer "io" type zombie survival game. and I've really fallen in love with coding again.

Solving these little puzzles (as oppose to just completing the project) is super rewarding. Time to add collisions, human damage, horde behavior, a HUD system.

Everything is like a little piece of a puzzle, it's interesting to compare it to something more analogue (such as an actual puzzle), it feels like it resonates after my various battles over the weekend.

But that's exactly the modus operandi of Musk's companies. Figure out the big picture of something based on first principles, assume that the industry is stuck on some local maximum, and try to do it in a different way. Sometimes it works, sometimes it may not.

I mean, there would've been plenty of knowledgeable people in the relevant industries telling Musk why landing rockets and reusing them is not going to work, and why battery powered mass market electric vehicles is a pipe dream.
Slow and steady assimilation to Microsoft will happen for sure. Depends on the utility value of your company to MS, it will retain most of its shape (LinkedIn / GitHub) or disappear (WonderList).

MS as a employer is good for steady source of income with reasonable work-life balance if that’s what you need in your life in near future.

If you are extremely passionate about tech, bail out as soon as possible.

Azure usage will be thrusted on your company sooner or later for obvious reason. So your work will involve some part of dealing with that.

MS is a huge company, so things will move slow.

Politics / Culture in some of the teams stink, may be AWS will be the only other which is worse that MS.

If you are young, bail out right now, there are better places to build your career.
