> People often do drive through lights unintentionally. If that is a proximate cause of an accident they are punished for negligence, not murder.

Oh sure. I'm not proposing people who fuck up be treated as murderers. It's just that in my head, saying it's "an accident" is minimising the blame. If you drive through a light unintentionally, that's totally your fault. You should have and could have avoided doing that by paying attention. You're right that it's negligence. I'm less sure than you are that it deserves to be called "an accident". It seems to me way to close to the schoolyard bully claiming "I was just waving my arm around, he put his face in front of my fist."

> But if the road is icy because of something like a broken water line, it is very possible for nobody to be responsible: a truly blameless accident.

I don't live in a place where it freezes, so I'm kinda not the right person to have an opinion here - but I would have thought that if you live/drive somewhere that ice or black ice happens, then there's at least some "driving to the conditions" argument to be made that the driver was negligent in that case?

I guess bottom line there is that to me, negligence is not covered under the term "accident". If the incident should have been avoided by a driver not being negligent, then it wasn't an accident.

(But I'm not a linguist, and am questioning whether that's a widely held opinion. Thinking about it, it's likely because I'm a long-term motorcycle rider. I cannot afford to have "accidents", because they hurt _way_ more than people driving cars having "accidents". I consider myself at fault for any situation _I_ could have avoided by "being less negligent", and perhaps unfairly impose that burden on other drivers as well. But I will none the less get angry when they say "Sorry. It was just an accident" while I'm the one lying bleeding on the road because they were negligent...)
I’m thinking of a specific example I’ve had to deal with on a number of occasions. It goes something like this.

Prospect A pays for Competitor B. Prospect A is willing to drop Competitor B and move to your solution, but they need feature X. A feature you don’t have. Feature X just so happens to be a basic feature 90% of competitor products have. However, this isn’t a feature any of your current customers have asked for. So while current demand isn’t high, you know that you can likely sign a net new customer, and you’ll have feature parity with 90% of your competitors.

So the situation is that the Prospect loves your core product, but they NEED this one feature. This isn’t a case of building a competitor clone and selling it cheaper.
How do you keep track of aged replies to your comments? Do you use anything other than the base user comments view?
This is just awesome on so many fronts. I love the automatic update of the BOM using GitHub actions, it’s such a nice touch.
Would you believe the words of Jack Ma himself?

"The problem is that the fake products today, they have better quality,a better price than the real product, than the real names," Ma said in a speech at Alibaba's investors day in the southern Chinese city of Hangzhou on Tuesday. "They're the same exact factories, the same exact raw materials, but they do not use that (brand) name," he added.

The Whitworth method of making absolutely flat plates (usually called "surface plates" in the U.S.) using NO precision surfaces to start with, is fascinating in its own right.

In saying that you are using Occam's Razor which is soley intended for distinguish two theories of identical explanatory value.

There are plenty of other epistemic tools to evaluate the likihood of various incomplete explanations with different levels of explanatory power.

Edit: Occam's Razor is like a tie breaker after you have brought out all your other epistemic tools and failed to break the tie. You are nowhere near that point.
Wow, hopefully they are getting enough in donations/sponsorship to compensate them for their extraordinary efforts. It’s very easy to see these skills getting snapped up for a multiple 6 figure salary in the near future…
People here who don't like it also seem to be against advertising in any form beyond direct deals between publishers and advertisers

I doubt many people object to ad networks and real time bidding; it's just that the user's personal information shouldn't be exposed in the process. Yes, that means the only signals you'd get are the current page, and maybe high-level OS/browser/device info.

(a) ok with personalized ads, providing they can be done sufficiently privately

My opinion, which I think is fairly common around here, is that what you're describing is fundamentally impossible. Much like the incessant government demands for encryption backdoors that don't compromise security.
Yes, I am very impressed with the fact that the person with this level of skill and understanding of the task at hand is ONLY 18. How could pointing out the impressively young age be considered bad? The percentage of young people that have this level of skill in whatever aspect is very small and is a valid thing to recognize.
Like other's have said, I might use "Get" to signify that this is a complex operation. Although I prefer more descriptive words like "Fetch" or "Find".

So FetchInstances() is expensive (each time it's called) but the property Instances is cheaper or only expensive on the first access.
There was one Babylon 5 episode where an alien probe approaches the station and broadcasts a bunch of scientific questions that if we answer correctly, they will grant us knowledge beyond our dreams.

The final decision was to move the probe far enough from the station, broadcast the data, and watch as it predictably self-destructed in an explosion that would have taken out the station itself and all surrounding ships.

In USENET, the showrunner said that he based this idea on a US Military recommendation that if aliens try to contact us we should ignore them, basically play dumb so we don't seem advanced enough to bother with, just in case they ARE seeking potentially dangerous civilizations to destroy before they get too far...

The rabbit hole gets deeper still: there are at least three in-progress ITX or ATX motherboard designs based on the Compute Module 4: https://pipci.jeffgeerling.com/boards_cm
Before you get offers, you are looking to disqualify companies, ie: What red flags can I notice that make me reasonably confident that I would never want to work at this company. After you get offers, you are looking to qualify companie, ie: What green flags can I notice that make me reasonably sure that I definitely want to work at this company.

Depending on your confidence level going in about how many offers you expect to get and how many offers you actually end up getting, your qualification and disqualification steps should be more or less rigorous. If you're confident of getting many good offers, then ask the tough questions in the phone screen to avoid wasting your time.

Property tax has horrid incentives. We want people to build more on expensive land, not less. LVT forces multi unit housing on prime spots.
> An inequitable distribution is one where a higher percentage of individuals in specific minority groups suffer losses compared to society as a whole.

I think this would lead to regression to the mean irrespective of the level of personal effort involved. Anything that deviates in outcome needs to be force-equalized.
I feel like someone should basically build the Pi 400, but use a Compute Module 4 at the heart... like I wish the Pi Foundation would've done, for upgradeability.
Why can't you test the whole lambda ? Just invoke the handler in the test.
That's a stupid phrase. I can think of many cases where there was not a fuckup yet vehicles collide. Example: someone has some kind of acute medical issue happen (maybe a seizure) and crashes. Or maybe there is black ice that you cant see. Maybe a truck flings a tiny rock it couldnt see in time into the windshield of a car behind it. It is really easy to come up with examples like this.
I was going to comment about that as well. If you're doing long distance like steeple chases or cross country where it is on turf, spikes are okay. I personally didn't like them, and preferred the cushioned distance shoes.
So we should simply make more bumpers on the side and limit speeds to 10km/h to prevent crashes?

I was not talking about changing environment constraints. I was talking about changing the perception and measuring of inputs in human drivers.
Expanding upon your personal anecdote: Is there scientific research on this matter? (Measuring alertness/fatigue on non-assisted vs assisted driving) It could be valuable.

Personally, I think driving is nearly always a waste of my time, so I avoid it when possible. Plus, I don't think of myself as a very good driver. Reading your anecdote made me think about how I feel after a long drive vs a long train ride. I cannot put a finger on it, but fatigue from constant required adjustments when driving /might/ be a factor.

More likely: I like how I can spend my free time when riding a train vs driving a car -- which is somewhat limited to passive listening: radio/music/audiobook/podcast/etc.
sure, why not, I guess? At least if people want a really low cost desktop, or something like a computer powering a kiosk, there's a plethora of low cost but functional mini-itx, microatx or atx sized steel cases. If you go to newegg and sort by price, for instance:

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811147295R?quicklink=true

If you look further there's some much smaller slimline desktop mini-itx (170x170mm format) barebones cases that are probably about the same price.

vast economies of scale in standardized mounting formats and open standards, like the dimensions/mounting holes for a normal ATX power supply...

You're totally right that heat is the enemy to 3D designs. They will only work with low power, or if nanoscale heat pipes can be integrated into the design.

Oddly enough, I did the same thing with my Es when I was first learning to write my letters. I didn't have a special name for them, though.
I went looking through the Wayback Machine's archive of that page to see if I could find a version of the text with those exact words. In none of the archives could I find a version; the biggest change to the text is in the description of regulatory status. Prior to ~March 2019, the text here used to read:

> Please note that Self-Driving functionality is dependent upon extensive software validation and regulatory approval, which may vary widely by jurisdiction. It is not possible to know exactly when each element of the functionality described above will be available, as this is highly dependent on local regulatory approval. Please note also that using a self-driving Tesla for car sharing and ride hailing for friends and family is fine, but doing so for revenue purposes will only be permissible on the Tesla Network, details of which will be released next year.

(Hilariously, the "details of which will be released next year" was retained on the page for three years before being dropped.) The current text instead makes it more clear (although not by much) that the actual full-self driving capability of the car doesn't actually exist yet.

While those exact words may not be present in the text, the general whiplash theme of "this car can 100% drive itself!" and "you are totally required to supervise the car at all times, it cannot drive itself" was and is still present.

Anyone interested in learning postscript should also consider Glenn Reid's Thinking in PostScript. I think it is a better introduction than the blue book.

To quote the wikipedia article:

A US State Department document made available by the National Security Archive on 10 April 2010 reveals that a démarche protesting Pinochet's Operation Condor assassination program was proposed and sent on 23 August 1976 to US diplomatic missions in Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile to be delivered to their host governments but later rescinded on 16 September 1976 by Henry Kissinger, following concerns raised by US ambassadors assigned there of both personal safety and a likely diplomatic contretemps. Five days later, the Letelier assassination took place.[8]

Documents released in 2015 revealed a CIA report dated 28 April 1978, which showed that the agency by then had knowledge that Pinochet ordered the murders.[9] The report stated, "Contreras told a confidante he authorized the assassination of Letelier on orders from Pinochet."[9] A State Department document also referred to eight separate CIA reports from around the same date, each sourced to "extremely sensitive informants" who provided evidence of Pinochet's direct involvement in ordering the assassination and in directing the subsequent cover-up.[9]

During the tenure of Richard Downie at the William J. Perry Center for Hemispheric Defense Studies, a U.S. Southern Command educational institution located at the National Defense University, the alleged (and as yet unproven) role of Jaime Garcia Covarrubias, a Chilean professor who was head of counterintelligence for DINA in the 1970s, in the torture and murder of seven detainees was revealed inside the center. His alleged role was first brought to Downie's attention in early 2008 by Center Assistant Professor Martin Edwin Andersen, a senior staff member who earlier, as a senior advisor for policy planning at the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, was the first national security whistleblower to receive the U.S. Office of Special Counsel's "Public Servant Award."[10] In an October 1987 investigative report in The Nation, Andersen broke the story of how, in a June 1976 meeting in the Hotel Carrera in Santiago, Kissinger gave the bloody military junta in neighboring Argentina the "green light" for their own dirty "war."[11]

> questions 1-4 are interesting only if that really matters to you. but why should it?

>these things depend on the business and the nature of the job, and just because they use CVS or something worse, doesn't mean that working there has to be bad.

A fair point.

The problem is not really in the technology or methods of development in themselves but the reason why they have them. In my own experience it's because they only focus on product delivery and extinguishing fires left and right, not too dissimilar to the Phoenix Project. For example right now I work for a company that still uses TFS with an in house build system, it's fine because I as hired for my experience in devops and to push our move to git and it's more of an opportunity than an obstacle and they have made that clear at the beginning that they wanted to move forward. But had they lied by omission to me like some other companies did I wouldn't be working there.

> or question 5 i'd focus on the specifics: do you have daily standups? how frequently does the team meet? questions about meeting culture...

Standups are a meme at this point. Most companies implement Agile as "Water Scrum Fall" as a DSM in the morning. Not that it's bad per se, since most companies I've worked for were designing their hardware, but those are superficial and doesn't really answer the important important that Agile really shines for: small releases, frequent feedback from the users, adapt the plan often.

I love these power supplies! An awesome feature is the GPIB port on the back (it's basically a parallel port with a specific command set).

In college I bought a USB to GPIB adapter on ebay for like $100 and a few cables (you can daisy chain them together) and wrote some VBA macros to automatically sweep the voltage output over a range, and also connected to a frequency generator & oscilloscope to capture the data. My EE labs were done in a fraction of the time compared to my classmates!

> However, there are ~10 hours of meetings each week that I need to join either because: 1. There is an expectation by management that I should be there in case they have a question (often they do not).

We dealt with this in the zoom era by having some people present but not paying attention. They would join the meeting but then turn the sound off and do their own thing. If we needed their input on something, then we would ping them on slack and they would come in and provide their input. In GCal, marking people as "optionally" attending meant that they were free to not pay attention.

> 2. I join to make sure I do not miss the critical pieces of information that I need. That is often five minutes out of sixty minutes.

We made a rule that every meeting had to have an agenda list posted to slack before the meeting and a summary posted to slack after the meeting. The meeting convener was responsible for making sure this happened but could delegate this responsibility to someone else. Often, this was a good onboarding task for new members joining the team.
