Sure, but as an expert, explanations that holds up for everyone are always preferred no matter what level of book I'm reading, compared to an explanation that makes sense "if you already how it works". In both cases linked, the text feels incomplete or even just "wrong, were it not for the fact that I know what you actually meant".

I should think that owning a car for more than a few weeks without accepting the EULA could serve as reasonable "proof" that you had no intention of accepting it regardless of what is logged. Especially if the EULA is presented at every startup.
What else should a society do about criminals?
There are definitely roadways and timing that cause the problem you mentioned but the parent poster is also accurate. So many large scale highway slowdowns and jams are caused by bad drivers not utilizing the left lanes causing the accordion effect in the merging lanes and soon the whole road is at a crawl.

If the drivers staying in the far right lane didn't do that mindlessly (their exit is not next or soon, why are they there?) or if they actually kept space open ahead of them for the cars they can see are about to merge, these problems would largely evaporate.

I'm paraphrasing poorly but, "do things slowly so that they go smoothly. Things done smoothly go fast."

So if there are limits I assume you collect 150 transactions a year from California, you have to keep the tax collected until you reach 200 and send the tax for all 200?

About 30 people a year are entrapped in grain bins. About half die.
Generally, someone goes inside a grain bin only because something has gone wrong. Which is when it's most dangerous.

There are still fundamental tenants of Buddhism that are accepted as true without evidence. The fact that Buddhists don't believe in deity isn't really the point of my post. My point is that like all religions, a part of Buddhism is to know something without evidence.

When someone says "I don't believe in karma, rebirth, or the teachings of Buddha" are you talking about a Buddhist? What makes a Buddhist if not at least some belief in some of the Buddhist teachings and beliefs. (Granted, the notion of the "sacred" doesn't really exist in Buddhism like it does in abrahamic religions).

> Driving is faster

Maybe, depending on traffic. But parking sure as shit isn't.
Agreed. I think people don't realize how much WFH sucks for people who are not ICs (or don't care). Pre-pandemic, I was pointing my career in a management direction. I enjoyed both development work and managing and they both took advantage of different skill sets. However, in my mind, management had more upside in the long run, and if I was going to be going into an office every day anyway, might as well keep at it. So at the start of the pandemic I was doing remote management of a technical team. And all those negatives you mention started to add up. In the last few months I got a different job as a senior developer to take advantage of the unbelievable W/L balance of permanent WFH. I decided "being a developer remotely" >> "being a manager in the office" >> "being a developer in the office" >> "being a manager remotely".

On the other hand for my partner who is non-technical and squarely in management, WFH is an endless nightmare of virtual meetings with no breaks. Hard to read people, hard to get people engaged, nonstop pings preventing what little focus time she has left. She wants to get back to an office ASAP, and I don't blame her.
They're a good complement to each other. You can "pre-tag" files with Picard before having beets ingest them if you prefer a GUI to check what you're getting.
> You're also obligated to listen to the answer.

And where does this obligation come from? I suspect from some kind of shared danger... that someone else's beliefs will endanger you. Otherwise I don't see the obligation to "listen" (assuming that means to agree and go along with it). That would mean the retort is indeed "people will die".

Conspiracy theories have always been around, how come they haven't infected everyone? How come there hasn't been a big effort to censor flat-Earthers? You would think these ideas would infect everybody if one looks at how pandemic related questions get censored and labeled as dangerous. All of sudden corporations are the saviors of humanity... that is seriously suspicious to me, and there is plenty of evidence to challenge the main narrative, it's just taboo to even bring it up or challenge the status quo.
Nothing worse than automotive software. Buggy, slow, terrible user interfaces, outright dangerous and in many ways much worse than the systems they replace or augment.

The automotive industry has a long long way to come - assuming it will happen at all - before they can be said to be responsible software vendors.

Case in point: my - former - C class Mercedes that made two pretty good attempts to kill me by slamming on the brakes in a situation where that was totally unexpected and caused a perfectly safe situation to turn into a critical one. If not for playing ping pong for many years I highly doubt I would be writing this. After the first instance I had the whole car checked out to see if there was any fault in the system, the answer was that it was all working perfectly (that time the car had braked whilst on a very narrow bridge sending the car into a skid which I managed to correct before going over the side). Three weeks later it did it again, this time apparently because an advertising sign in a turn generated such a strong radar return that the car thought I was about to have a frontal collision. Again, out of nowhere an emergency stop.

I sold the car and got one where the most complex piece of software is the aftermarket radio, it has ABS and an ignition control computer but nothing in the way of 'advanced safety features'.

My vehicle actively trying to kill me is something I can do without.

So: as far as I'm concerned much less software on board of cars, open source it all if possible and roll it out much slower so we can get the bugs out.
> I have a more optimist view about the industry being able to cope

TBH, I have similarly optimistic views, but for completely different reasons. The truth is, the worldview has changed completely in the past 100 years.

In the old days, if you failed at operating a saw, you hurt yourself badly. Now we slowly are starting to expect sawstop and other solutions to reduce injury.

The same thing is happening in cars. We no longer expect perfection of the human as we augment them in various ways to both reduce the frequency and severity of collision. Its the early days yet, and its very much the "startup code" mindset with cars having way more bugs than its ever but also producing safer outcomes.

Car software is getting worse, but we're better off for it.
I lost (a small amount of) weight while working from home, because I didn't have access to the company-supplied stuff in the break room...
It annoys me about capitalism. There's a massive incentive for manufacturers to cut corners to save $100 on a $30k car, as they sell 10,000 cars and use the $1m to pay themselves a bonus about how great they are.

Almost everyone will want to pay $30,100 for the better product though, but the market can't differentiate on that.
Having lots of gnarly if-elsif-else blocks of code elsewhere where the logic conditions are varying in number it is nice to encapsulate that in a pattern match function.

For me, it doesn't mean "thou shalt not use if-then ever" just that if you have enough conditionals and logic needed, pattern matching is better suited for those cases (sorry for the pun).
Chipmaker SiFive Is Said to Draw Intel Takeover Interest
fwiw, the old rule of thumb when I was trained is "it cost you one pound of fuel for every three that you carry", where 'cost' is in the form of increased burn (decreased efficiency).

Of course, fuel is no different than any other weight, so the same rule would apply to the revenue load (people, bags, freight)—for every three pounds it cost you one pound of fuel.

Incidentally, I've always felt ticketing should be pro-rata wrt weight. Well, where 'always' is defined as 'since I obtained my FAA dispatcher license.'

"The whole idea of a salary is relatively new, since the industrial revolution"

Actually salaries are much more ancient than that:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_legion#Pay

Basic pay for a member of a Roman legion was 225 denarii per year, later increased to 300, and then again increased to 500 to adjust for inflation. Higher ranked officers received higher salaries.
Words mean things! Insurance is when you pay someone else to manage the risk, hedging is when you do it yourself. Excuse my pedantry.

If there is a collapse in the market for office real estate, given the shortage of housing in various US markets, I would not be sad if some of these large office buildings were converted to mixed residential & commercial use. Yeah, being able to live in the same building as where you work and just take elevator or stairs to your employer's office would be an expensive luxury option that probably only upper-middle and upper classes could afford. But, it would take some pressure off less fancy housing options like regular apartments, duplexes, and single-family houses. It wouldn't address the problem of investment corps snatching up any and all residential real-estate they can in the face of other fiscal policies. But, when in your local market, a 1500 sq ft 1960s construction house with little-to-no insulation, yard filled with sun-scorched weeds, and in need of 10s of thousands of dollars repairs to the building envelope goes for half a million dollars cash sight unseen in less than a week after it goes on the market, any policy change that improves the supply and demand equilibrium helps those who just want to live in the available housing supply.
Sadly, you're probably right, some kind of quasi-Nash Equilibrium local maxima that sucks for everyone.

Go is so nice for getting stuff done.
It's been done but very often "class A" office towers lack things which are needed for residential use, like windows that open, balconies, locations in the concrete walls and floor slabs for water and sewage pipes. Even basic things like if you take a floor of an office tower and turn it into 700 sq ft condos, how are you going to ventilate the bathrooms? Retrofit can be very costly.

I have seen some instances of older 1910s to mid 1930s era office towers in NYC retrofitted to (very high end, very expensive) condos.
Wheel spinning is good advice! Working alone allows for concentration, not distraction. It also sometimes forces you to reach for resources which are close to figure stuff out. Reading is an old friend!
Agreed, and the KandiKakes have had less peanut butter filling every since the acquisition by Bimbo.
Go is mostly very good, but the module ecosystem continues to be a nightmare, and having a deep dependency graph can make build times brutal. I work on a project which depends on k8s, which means a cold build take several minutes. Not to mention trying to update dependencies and figure out what versions are actually being built into the final binary.
I think it’s safe to presume that it’s a non-sealing, cloth mask as that’s what 99% of us “civilians” are using.

Even these slow down transmission so it’s a function of having a mask, time spent together, flow/amount of air, proximity.
> Something else is going on

Scenes require supporting media. In the age of print and broadcast, access to media was comparably limited. Consequently, the number of scenes was comparably limited. The "something" that happened was the general public learning how the internet could be used to easily publish media for as many scenes as people could think of. It's now feasible for individuals to globally publish media regardless of how many other people are interested in it.
Anecdotal I admit, but I have a large group of friends who are currently shopping new employment because their company is looking to have them back in the office full time and they don't want that, they want to continue working from home and it is now a line they are drawing in the sand.

In the past 4 weeks I have received 6 resumes for people looking for remote work because they much prefer to live outside the city center and have more room for activities, and they don't want to go back to commuting for hours per day or sitting in traffic.
It sounds like your use case and mine are very similar. That sounds fantastic! How well does this handle user authentication/authorization? Are the clients widespread enough?

This is definitely going on my Potential Solutions list, which has been interesting to navigate, to say the least.
Imagine a non-pandemic environment where you could go to a buddy’s house and work. Or for many people, their closest relationships are with their spouse and family. You no longer have to be separate from them for most of your waking hours. Work picks your “friends” for you and in many cases you won’t get along. It seems like you were lucky to be in a good situation.
> It seems hard, in practice, to rely on crashes and restarts to maintain the right state invariants.

I feel the opposite way. Perhaps if you are mostly doing things where you have control over a transient state (like a chain of validations on a database entry) the error tuples are easy...

But if you are doing something like checking in on cached state for something remote that you don't have control over... It is so, so much better to give up, restart your GenServer, and re-sync your cached state in the init() clause than try to "guess" what the remote thing has for its state after it's sent back an error.
It does add quite a bit to network traffic though, which may or may not be an issue.
The general theme for people who’ve been working with Erlang for a long time seems to be: rely on crashes for truly unexpected scenarios, but validate data (especially at the edges) so crashes aren’t a regular occurrence.
https://www.artinsolutions.com/competencies/mediationzone%C2... says "Business logic of these agents is defined in APL – Application Definition Language, which is based on Java language." which doesn't sound like the APL I know.

Sorry you're absolutely right -- typo honest, not me brainfarting.

Inflation whittles away at your debt, which is why inflation is good for the average person who owns very little cash and has lots of debt (i.e. someone with a mortgage) - assuming that wages keep up with inflation so the cost of the weekly shop is still x% of the weekly pay slip.

Of course high interest rates offset that somewhat, but if interest rates are around inflation level, for those with debt (ie young people who haven't benefited from inheritence a lot) it's a good thing.

I notice he says the result needs less testing; to me such a rewrite amounts to an audit of the code and thus leaves one with more confidence, definitely. I'd just buy it more perhaps with stringent static types, but I've become a 'gradual typing purist' in a way (in this process, if you're not littering types everywhere you are missing a lot of value)

To drive home an argument a co-owner of an old hosting company I had, calculated the costs for replacing a single HDD.

Everything from buying the HDD, to his hours to the parking ticket at the data-center. He convinced me and the point was clear: a single failing HDD would costs us more than renting similar computing power for over 6 years. We had two such failing HDDs in three years prior.
Yes but disabling JS as a default wipes out whole classes of attacks against your browser.

On top of disabling JS, just a simple AD blocker like uBlock Origin greatly diminishes the amount of profiling. There is no silver bullet however. It depends on your threat model.

If you really don't want to be tracked and profiled, using the Tor Browser Bundle is worthwhile, but even that is problematic since it's heavily surveilled (both at the entry node and exit nodes).
Even if CEOs "can't and shouldn't be concerned with [individuals with distinct skill sets and characters]" (not a point I'm conceding, what makes you think a CEO's job is "checkers" compared to the chess of a Dev Manager who is realistically 2-4 levels below them in the organization?
A lot of modern ECUs are "written" in modeling tools like Simulink and then compiled into auto-genned MISRA C which is never touched by humans, as well.

I'm certainly not trying to say automotive code is in a good place, but it's not the same as a 1+ million line hand-written C project like some people think when they see the numbers.
Doesn't base64 have a simple closed-form formula for the expansion, which can be easily inverted for a single-step calculation of max source length?

Something like

encoded_length = 4 * ceil(length / 3) + len(prefix + suffix)

cut_at = floor((desired_length - len(prefix+suffix) / 4) * 3

Then, you should also try to at least cut on a utf8 code-point boundary and maybe handle the whole unicode grapheme something something.

Couldn't agree more - I still have FB but honestly time on it just makes me more agitated than happy, and I should really just get off of it completely.

FB's problem is fundamental in the way that you described but I'd add a few points to it:

Not only does FB artificially try to revive relationships that have run their course (and also gives all of these past relationships permanent access to your thoughts), IMO FB fundamentally misunderstands "connection" - that or they understand it fine but are utterly cynical about it.

In what way is mindlessly thumbing through a high school classmate's wedding photos "connecting" people? People who you haven't spoken to in a decade or more? The primary uses of FB seem to be passively perusing the musings of people you don't care much about, which despite what FB PR insists, isn't making me care much more about them.

The FB news feed is one of the least social things I can think of! It is consumed passively, nearly always by yourself, and doesn't actually create any interaction between myself and others besides simple "likes".

I keep waiting for the arrival of social networks that actually meet their own lofty claims - software that actually facilitates the development of meaningful relationships.
This reminds me of the dotcom times. My mom worked in accounting for Harmonic Inc. when they signed a long-term lease for an enormous campus. That was a risky move during a time in the Valley when prices were high and vacancy rates were low. Much of the campus stayed vacant for sometime.

IIRC, what do they call the primary cause of recessions? OXPC - Over eXpansion of Productive Capacity

In residential real-estate, which is more inelastic, it makes intuitive sense that supply (inventory) and demand (occupancy + influx - outflux) moves prices more vigorously; look at SF and NYC.
Your comment hints at something I think will be a major factor in tipping the scale for all-remote or all-onsite: office culture

I know a lot of people twist their noses at the mention of an office culture (it does appear most when it is negative), but the value of positive-culture cannot be underestimated. Teams that bond well work best. Can people bond over video calls?

These are going to be interesting times.

The Origin of Government Authority
Even FLOSS enthusiasts need to eat. Money don't come from writing code by itself, they come from sales. Or from donations. In both cases there is a lot of non-coding work. Do you want to do it? I don't. How do we call those guys who organize donations or sales? Collect requirements? Yes, there are requirements in FLOSS too, otherwise you wouldn't get donations, or support contracts, and those requirements are coming from the people who pay. Let's call everybody developers, only some won't write code and would organize coders, gather requirements, distribute payments. Wait, those people are currently called managers.
