Asking because I feel this way a lot too -- is this the kind of thing that was avoidable (IE if you built it on Rails/Django + Heroku would that have cut down the maintenance), or was there intrinsic complexity to the project that made it unavoidable?

More and more, I want to build things that are in the former category if I build them at all outside of work.
Proportionality is one aspect.

Punishing the right people is another.

If you’re an UMN patch submitter who has just seen your work thrown away because of the actions of some researchers you don’t know and some kernel maintainer you don’t know, you’d be rightly upset.

Punishing the entire university for the actions of a few. I think it’s a bad idea: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_punishment
University libraries all over the world would disagree, their archivists make very sure that digital journals are still available to their audience even if the subscription has expired. Access to digital content is a solved problem, even though Apple would have you believe otherwise.
Either that or American companies have still not learned what does not fly with the EU and repeat the same mistakes over and over again to the point that we need laws to prevent or fix the problems that they create.
I do. This is the exact reason why I've never bought anything digitally. Paying real money just to have some bytes streamed to you just doesn't feel right. And, I mean, you can't even resell or lend the thing.
> WDYT about adding one command to collapse the current comment and one command to move up to the parent comment?

That would be great! (Or alternatively a single command that does both of these, which was mostly my option (ii) in the initial comment).
Conversely, I think a lot of people buy digital movies and never watch them because they want to own them. We all probably have friends who buy games they never play off of steam.
By holding a state responsible, their citizens are automatically included.

Having had family killed during WWII, I know that their contemporary relatives held a grunge against Germans. Not Germany as a state, but Germans. This is very much understandable because Germans (and not Germany) killed their family.

Well, American tech companies are not the only ones using AI/ML for morally questionable activities. Think for example about China's social crediting system. At least it is good that people are thinking about the effects that AI/ML can have on (the freedom) of peoples lives.
I cannot follow OPs reasoning. This is consumer protection related, not so much science related. If this further underpins the right of a consumer not to be unduly subjected to algorithmic decisions without proper checks and balances I'm all for it.

Devil is in the detail though. The GDPR is practically a dead letter with thousands of complaints and infringements and hardly any substantive action.

We can thank the Tories being in power now for almost 11years.
The nice thing with high status people is that there are so few of them. Makes it easier to hold them accountable.
I originally had trouble with this term because I learned about it after learning the unrelated (afaict) terms "dynamic programming language" and "dynamic typing". So perhaps it's not so much that dynamic programming was a bad choice when it was named, but that we've overloaded the term "dynamic" too much since then.
Lots of electric vehicles exist and work great.
Check out The Non-Designers Design Book by Robin Williams.

It focuses on four fundamental concepts of graphic design that apply to everything visual, including UIs. Its four concepts form a language for thinking about the aspects of visual design like color schemes, font sizes, spacing, etc.

It has lots of examples and mini design exercises. And you can read it in just a few hours.
You mean this Gwynne Shotwell?

https://www.ted.com/talks/gwynne_shotwell_spacex_s_plan_to_f...

She's claiming SpaceX will, within ten years, be running fully-reusable rockets from New York to Shanghai in one hour with a one-hour turnaround. She claims this will be cost-competitive with airplanes, meaning a roughly 200x reduction over the current quarter-million-dollar price of a suborbital flight.

That talk was in April 2018, so they have seven years left. Do you think they'll make it?

She is every bit the scammer Musk is. And I don't even understand why! SpaceX isn't a public company, so there's no stock to pump. They don't need to advertise to the general public because the general public doesn't put things in LEO. I guess they need public favor to keep the subsidies flowing?

Granted, SpaceX is running circles around Tesla. They are a competitive aerospace company, offering something like a 20% (post-subsidy) cost savings over a Soyuz or a Shuttle. I just wish they'd fire the scammers, cut the talk of 10x cost savings and suborbital passenger flights, and stop pretending that reusable launch vehicles are in any way novel.

Also, Elon Musk is not an engineer. He never has been. He has no engineering training, can't do any of the math, and has never built anything himself. He's the ideas guy.
Yep, the pbxproj format sucks. The good news is that each version of Xcode adds more power to the Swift Package Manager manifest file.
Higher speed trains require a larger turn radius. The NE corridor is so built up that buying the land to widen all the curves would be a huge expense. Buying up people’s houses and businesses and tearing them down to build a faster train line might not pay off in the long term.
How much time did you spend in a bus vs train? I would choose a medium quality train over any quality bus, if we’re talking about comfort
The reason to buy a Tesla, IMO, is range and charging station availability.

The software/FSD capabilities aren't good reasons to get one. Further, I think their current price tag of 10k is absolutely ridiculous.

That said, if you are in a nation with good EV charging stations, plan on just using the car as a commuter, or if the buildout of current charging stations are good enough then I don't see a reason to pick a tesla over anything else on the market.

I say all this as a current owner of a 2018 model 3 with FSD.
> Before the first few dozen nuclear reactors have been properly decommissioned, within a reasonable timeframe and for a reasonable budget, I think we have absolutely no business building more of them and burdening future generations with them.

Yes, because climate change does not pose a threat to mankind at all, we should waive for the most efficient weapon we have against it.
> They already have a rent option, so Rent (As long as your account is in good standing) and Rent (for a few hours) would be even more confusing.

Perhaps they should make a less confusing service if they do not want their customers to be confused.
> I'm not sure how a train is any better than a bus

kWh/passenger-mile, which, even if you assume both have environmentally-equal power sources, means environmental impact.

Probably also easier to keep other vehicles off your “dedicated” lane with a train.
Great, Apple's new M1 based systems now exist on the market. Go make one for me for less than what Apple sells theirs. Should be easy according you since someone else is already doing it.

R&D is everything in making of something. Just because someone else made it doesn't mean you get to start exactly where they left off (except in cases of open source where you get their literal plans). Even in wood working or any shop type of work, you often spend more time setting up things like jigs or other custom tooling than it takes to do the actual work. Is that supposed to be a sunk cost to the builder? No, it is part of how the builder arrives at the price of the final thing being built.
Doesn't Tesla have a huge backlog? If they cleared it it would be a miracle.
This sorely needs a page describing its features and overall design. I spent maybe 10 minutes reading documentation and gave up.

Reading between the lines, it’s statically-typed, compiles to assembly, and I haven’t seen a type annotation yet, but I’ve seen a “let rec,” so maybe it’s similar to OCaml? Or even Ocaml in disguise again? But perhaps they decided to obscure that for marketing reasons, as if adopters of hot-off-the-press programming languages are just programmers looking for something nondescriptly “modern”, rather than programming language enthusiasts.
Literally the next line of this email to the DMV says they will follow an iterative process and get regulatory approval as they release updates with Level 3+ functionality.

This article is essentially disinformation. If the article actually included the relevant source email, it would be obvious to everyone that it is a nothingburger.
Tesla cheaped out on the touchscreens to save a few bucks. https://www.thedrive.com/tech/27989/teslas-screen-saga-shows... They have been extremely resistant to adding any hardware even after other companies have used capacitive sensors on the steering wheel and/or eye trackers.
A lot of commuter rail is like that. When I take commuter rail into Boston, it's almost empty when I get on or off near the end of the line while it's often standing room only during peak times by the time it gets near the city.

TFA uses the terms "disgust" and "moral repugnance", without defining them, as if we all know and agree what they are, then "discusses" their historical cultural aetiological development without evidence.

This is story telling.
The real reason to end the death penalty is because it's hypocritical for society to declare killing as a most serious crime and then turn around and kill the killers (and others usually, traitors, double agents etc). That's a "do as I say, not as I do" situation that even a five year old would understand.

We wouldn't invest in it because it's now massively more expensive than the renewable alternatives, and also much more risky. The people handling the billions of dollars know their stuff, and they don't like nuclear for this reason.

That there are existing nuclear plants still running does not imply building new ones would make any sense.

What are you trying to achieve?

Either you do buy and hold or you do trigger trading (expecting good sales, acquisition announcement etc.) or you do HFT. I doubt that you are able to do HFT. I know some people that are extremely successful with the first two. So what is left?

Trading too much. And very likely you are doing this on your phone. How often do you check the ticker? The answer will give you a good idea about what you are doing.
In talking with fellow parents of young children the biggest variable seems to be whether there is a stay-at-home parent, live-in relative, or nanny who can help with the recurring labor required to run a household like cleaning, cooking, shopping, bills, repairs, yard work, taxes, etc. Otherwise that work piles up until after the kids go to sleep and on weekends.

You can sacrifice sleep, but that's not sustainable for everyone.

My partner and I block out a couple hours each week for the other to wrangle the kids so we can work on our various hobbies/projects. I've found that when I work on my computer-based hobbies I usually end up frittering away half the time reading online news whereas outdoor construction, yard, and bike projects don't seem to suffer from that so they end up making more progress.

Hopefully in ~5 yrs I can actually do some of these things with the kids and it'll get a little easier.
None with the kind of autonomy features we're discussing here. And FWIW: my judgement was that the model Y was still a win as a pure EV choice, though I agree that the other manufacturers are getting much closer there.

Sounds interesting. Let me know when that starts happening.

It isn’t a false dichotomy, it is simply the truth:

Germany is phasing out nuclear with the result that their regulator has to ban coal plants from being shut down and start building new gas plants.

The company can use part of your purchase price to buy a long term debt instrument (e.g. a 30-year T-bond) and use the yield to keep the server running.

Or, more realistically and prosaically, they can and should debit the net present liability of keeping the server running in perpetuity from their corporate accounts at the time of purchase. Accountancy knows how to value such things and finance delights in monetizing them.
Seriously. It's well past time that Congress passes a law explicitly to that effect -- if you lose access to purchased content, whether because your account was terminated or the content was removed, you get 100% refunded. End of story. Any TOS to the contrary are invalid.
If we judge how well something works by its size or how quickly it grows, the USSR was a resounding success.

It's hard to give you any advice because it always depends on many things. For some people it's about a few bad habits. For a lot of people it's about their job. For others it might be about their role and responsibilities, or their lifestyle, or the environment and people around them.

What you need is a good listener/friend to debug it together. Perhaps you can track it down. It usually doesn't happen overnight. So you may be able to tell when it has started and what has changed in your life before that.
Perhaps not, but was it on people's radar as much as it is as a consequence of this event?

I would caution against trusting your build process definition to hold up to time. It's definitely better than nothing.

Even within the last few years of my job, we've had numerous disruptions to our automated builds due to everything from repo changes to version bumps in our fundamental deploy tools. I've got a self-assigned action to take just tomorrow due to how a change in how secrets management has now disrupted our performance testing process available to devs. Anecdotally, it seems more and more that as newer build tools move forward, they rarely seem to prioritize compatibility with existing methods (I'm looking at you, k8s, and your API versioning; "where feasible" turned out to be a loose definition).
A mathematical model of the Mafia game (2013)
Maybe what people should do is "buy" the movie on itunes, watch it and then do a credit card charge-back (possibly for e.g. 90% of the amount) with the justification that they read the terms in detail and realised that they are just renting not owning the media.

Obviously if only a couple of people would do it, there would be no effect except them getting their accounts suspended. However, it would be very interesting how this would pan out if a very large number of people would do it. How would apple react and how would the credit card companies react. Maybe someone should start a campaign to do just this.

I really like Piotr Wozniak’s writing on sleep:
https://www.supermemo.com/en/archives1990-2015/articles/slee...

He would suggest free running sleep or alternatively biphasic sleep (a siesta about 7 hours after rising).

To add to others and clarify a couple things I know:

1. Magnesium L-threonate really improves sleep quality for me. Other types don’t work as well, including sucrosomial magnesium.

2. Melatonin’s benefits peak around 300mcg in most people, almost all off the shelf supplements are too large. Taking too much can hurt sleep architecture, cause nightmares, cause depression.

3. Circadian rhythm is slightly longer than 24 hours. Employing zeitgebers (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeitgeber) to entrain a more regular rhythm helps: exercise, social interaction, and (for me) a light lamp or time outdoors (since I get seasonal affective disorder in the winter).

4. I occasionally use supplements like Lemon balm or Magnolia bark if I’m particularly stressed before sleep, since they encourage some level of relaxation without negatively affecting sleep architecture. I think a lot of people equate sleep quality with low sleep latency, but both alcohol and marijuana, despite moving you to sleep quicker, negatively affect sleep architecture.

I think I have a pretty great sleep routine, as I haven’t awakened to an alarm in like 10 years.
Ah, nice! Anything that makes Rust more approachable will help.

If I buy a semester at a private school, I still have to pay for the entire semester if I'm expelled (sometimes a smaller but still substantial early leave amount).

I know neither of our analogies mirror exactly is going on, but that's part of the point. Maybe this is a different class of "ownership". There seems to be many classes already close to what Apple wants.

I'm not sure who will win. I hope it's not Apple, but I've already agreed to worse agreements getting through high school and college.
Was debating whether I should get FSD or not on the Model 3. Eventually decided not to despite the egging ons of some people at a Tesla forum I frequent to pull the trigger.

From everything I could glean, the technology does not seem mature yet, and shock!!!, despite the disbelief of some robotaxi/FSD evangelists, I actually like driving. Ok, so I don't like stop and go barely moving traffic, but I don't think FSD can handle that today or anytime soon anyways.
Carrying a knife on your person however, that is banned in a lot of EU countries. Exceptions being you need it for work, or the knife needs to be transported from one place to another.
once people are true believers and that belief has become part of their identity their cognitive biases kick in to ensure no deviation from the belief. We only have to look around at the political arena or the religious arena to see that. No difference in the scientific, financial and business arenas because it's the same human brain involved.
It's because EU regulations are largely teethless. If disregard for GDPR lead to closure of Facebook, that would be a different ballgame. Now it is just additional cost of doing business to appease the EU bureaucrats and make sure any issue grinds to a halt in unsustainable EU bureaucratic machinery.
Electric bikes and cargo bikes are seriously under appreciated. They make life so much better in moderate climates. With a climate like the Bay Area, it's such a shame to see so much infrastructure devoted to deadly cars, and so little to making biking accessible to more people. Ebikes are half the equation, protected lanes so cars can't endanger your life are the other part.
They surely are, when the libraries I have to plug into decide it is time to reboot their eco-system and offer only the new way as the path forward.

I don’t believe lots of companies can deliver what Tesla offers, or if so, have the ethics of not delivering for the sake of saving lives. If anything, history showed that most car companies ethics is very questionable when competition is fierce.

Unless I misinterpreted the recent Tesla safety report, the Tesla FSD seems statistically safer than human drivers (please correct me if I’m wrong).
