I'm that guy in my current company. When I get brought in to an existing project, the first thing I look for is the README. To my disappointment, it either doesn't exist at all, it's the default generated, or it's 1 or 2 years outdated. So during project on-boarding, I document everything I can, create or update the README, then commit and push to the repo.

In all of my coworkers across all projects, I'm the only one who does this. I'm pretty sure nobody reads them either. I don't mind though, it has paid for itself countless of times already, since I always reference it.
I think it is a great idea for bringing autonomous cars to the market. Think about it: take a VW that costs $25k today. Now, fast forward 10 years and you can buy roughly the same car for roughly the same price but with autonomy-as-a-service. First and foremost, it's still a car worth $25k. And if it's your first autonomous car, you will naturally be sceptical if it's worth it. Getting you to pay $10k extra may be a hard sell. Selling you autonomous driving at €7/h is a great way to convince you it works. If you are convinced, you'll buy that $40k autonomous car in the future. Otherwise, you'll just go back to manual mode and won't regret paying $10k for a worthless feature. But I totally get the subscription fatigue we are all under that prompted so much negativity in the responses.
When MDPV made rounds in my friends circle, and someone found interest in the substance it always ended in some kind of increasingly paranoid flash until some dramatic breakup 2-3 weeks later. Like one that took a train driving for hours out of the country getting increasingly paranoid until he found himself, phone and money somehow lost, on the trains toilet to flush down a lot of MDPV (literally thousands of doses) and then took weeks to recover from the substance. And even a few days until they found a way to get home.

I took it a few times and honestly enjoyed it, my world started to glitter basically, however I dosed carefully and never took a second hit.

Lessons from 8 Years of Writing at Medium
First and foremost you should write docs for yourself. They need to be short, concise and practical. You only get there by using them yourself. All the long-winded, theoretical C&C docs in the world won't provide enough actionable signals, as its mostly noise. Even if it covers everything elegantly, in your mind.

You should get feedback on docs, even if just from yourself. They shouldn't be a drag to maintain. If you don't eat your own dogfood or use them to keep people hostage, they won't help others figure out their own responsibilities.

If you don't build a culture around docs, its mostly waste. Often nobody even finds them, have the access/introduction to make it meaningful, and they are not open ended or written for practical usage.

I think the data advantage is limited.

I used to work in high-frequency equity trading. We would run simulations against tick-by-tick data from real markets. The simulations were of very questionable value. As soon as you trade once in your simulation, from that point onwards the whole run is contaminated. Your trade, if it had actually happened, would have been seen by other participants, who would have changed their strategy, often in complex and unpredictable ways, and the timelines would have diverged rapidly and irreversibly from that point.

Data recorded from driving situations is useful for one thing - testing out split-second decision making - stop or accelerate? Steer left or right? This is a limited use case. Most situations don't have critical decisions like this. The ones that do, it's often hard to judge what would have been the right answer. Even accidents - where the post facto desired outcome is "don't have an accident", unfold over several seconds, involving several stages of actors responding to each others' actions. No one can be sure how the driver should have approached the very first interaction - the only one for which the data is meaningful.

Actual road testing, and meaningful simulation which isn't just replaying what actually happened is much more useful.
BMW is (has long been) an intelligence test.

If you bought one, you failed.

Overhyped and hugely underwhelming. I rate BMW as among the worst and most uncomfortable cars I've ever driven. And during my consulting days on the road I was in rentals probably 3 weeks out of 4, so got to do extended test drives of a significant number of vehicles.

If people trip up with certain things all the time, then is the technology itself suited for the problems that people need to solve?

Because at that point, it feels like people are serving the technology and its many quirks, not the other way around.

But regardless of that thought, i think both your words and those of the parent comment have merit - different levels of detail fit into different pieces of text (RFCs, vs a "How To" blog post), which fit different purposes. The quality of the information in either, however, still remains in question (given that some popular implementations of technologies, don't always even respect RFCs fully).

Doing any of this would set a precedent of Apple being able to change the functionality of an app and that is a precedent I don't want to see no matter how much I detest Facebook.

Also this power would bring the anti-trust hammer down so hard. Apple doesn't want this. They're working on tools to help you use your phone and other hardware more fully but also giving you data on usage and such so people can make up their own minds.
I'm curious about the opportunities for co-design of hardware and algorithms, especially since we are building more ASICs for neural networks - they're an increasingly used workload.

Things like grouped convolutions were invented for AlexNet as a practical engineering step because of limited GPU memory, but ended up giving nice cost/accuracy trade-off choices.

Perhaps algorithms will move too fast for dedicated hardware to be worth it, but there will be primitives that should be relevant for a while that can be integrated into whatever hardware we use - see Nvidia Tensor Cores, which also include things like sparsity support.

There's a "typewriter shop" near where I live in Philly. It's very charming and run by a guy who, it appears, did make a living as a typewriter repairman back in the day.

The thing is, these are now more of a hipster lifestyle accessory. There's nothing pragmatically useful about typewriters. They can be beautiful things and have great object appeal just sitting on a (large-enough) desk. I expect that the majority of typerwriter shops in the USA are focused on the aesthetic concept of typewriters rather than their actual utility.

There's something magical about an Olivetti Valentine typewriter, for example, it reminds one of a more civilized era (even though it's ridiculous to say that about the 60's). It evokes dreamy romantic visions of writing eloquent prose, effortlessly, without batteries without spell-check. (https://www.massmadesoul.com/olivetti-valentine)

The earlier IBM Selectrics, a very different but also magical machine but decidedly not romantic like the Valentine. It uses a metal ball of fonts and has a pleasing motion every time you slap down a letter. It was supposed to be all business and even the colors were drab, but there is something joyful about it.

But as writing instruments? F-that! These things suck for writing. They great at cocktail parties though... "Hey, check it out, I got a TYPEWRITER, let's TYPE a LETTER and MAIL IT!"

One thing that I think is being missed in this discussion is that governments have a responsibility to enforce the laws that are currently on the books. Perhaps more importantly, they also need to be seen to be enforcing them.

SciHub was allowed to operate freely for several years when it was relatively unknown, but to turn a blind eye to it now that it's received mainstream attention would threaten the credibility of the legal system.

I wholeheartedly support SciHub, but I can't blame governments for enforcing their laws. Ultimately, the changes need to happen at the legislative level to update copyright laws, and this somewhere where lobbying local representatives could have a meaningful impact.
I think its more about trying, I think I have average or lower IQ but I try really hard to make up for it. I frequently see my colleagues say I don't know how to do that as if it excuses them from trying.

The $50 was an example, not a benchmark for when police does investigate. Like I said, there are more criminals than LEOs and this general hateful attitude towards LEOs doesn't really make people want to do that job. So if people want computer crimes to be solved, they should start motivating people to take those jobs in stead of hating on people who are working hard to solve crimes.
The NSA actually seems quite scared of it and wants everyone to move to post-quantum encryption already. Ulterior motives here would imply they have cracks for everything except quantum encryption, which probably isn't the case.

I _am_ Irish. Due to its small size, its small population, and comparative recency on the world stage, Ireland does not hold the same level of prestige or historical political clout in the EU as France, or Germany (or even the UK when it was a member).

You also forget about the Maltese. The combined population of the two would still make it a middling region of France like Grand Est or a somewhere between Rheinland-Pfalz and Hesse in the case of the German Länder.
Your comment ironically reeks of scientific ignorance itself. Science is as much about confirmation of prior observations and testing of established theories (and in fact more so by sheer volume of studies) as it is investigation of unexplained phenomena.

With apps, publishers have more control, compared to webpages. For example, it's harder to block ads, or specific components of the page.
I have no idea why people are downvoting you. From what I know all you said is correct. The money will be given to the Namibian government and not to the descendants of the genocide (the Nama and Herero) who don't have a large representation in government. All the negotiations have been with the government without the involvement of the Nama and Herero.
If they can't transport as much by train or truck (due to capacity/expense) then thats a gain for the environment.

If a big fat permanent pipeline makes it more cost effective to extract and sell even more tar-sand oil, then thats a loss for the environment.
You can only do that if you can afford it: I'm pretty sure reddit never made money and was bleeding it quite profusely. At some point you have to start making money, but reddit (and most other internet/digital companies) valued growth at all cost. Now they are probably billions in the hole and they have to look for outside investment.

You also make the strong assumption that executive staff/founders actually care about the survival of the company or the product: If they cash out at some point, they still win in the transaction.

The cycle is always predictably the same:

1. Found the company

2. Get an initial round of investment

3. make it seem valuable (i.e. growth at all cost)

4. Second investment round (people now have FOMO "this could be the next Facebook!")

5. Continue growing (by now initial investors and founders have cashed out with profit)

6. Another investment round/sell/go public.

7. After going public, people notice that you don't make any money and have no way of ever making money (think WeWork)

8. Company's stock tanks/Company goes bankrupt.

At no point in that process has the product or the company ever mattered: As long as you can make it seem like it works, you can make a profit.

This is why venture capital is almost always a red flag: The investors make money not through quality product, but through growth.
They can sell a great product that nobody knows about or they can sell well marketed crap that grows fast and makes them billions.
By chance one or two of these companies will survive despite this and have a lasting impact, which breeds even more hype for the next round.

The article offers you the choice to keep mindlessly browsing. What we have now it's not really an option. This would be like nutritional warnings for apps.
I honestly don't understand this. I enjoy driving, especially long distance. The benefit of being able to read a book or look at my phone rather than listen to music or an audio book is not worth anything like $8.50 an hour to me.

The general inconveniences of long distance drives like planning food and toilet stops, or delays due to traffic, weather or accidents would still be present.

I would pay a lot to be instantly transported to my holiday destination, but almost nothing to get there in the same time with someone else driving me.
Wouldn't you listen to more content (news, movies...) from European countries, if it was in a language you understand, that being English?
I'm in EU and would love for English to be the de facto language.
How big is the different between simracing with iracing for example, and what would be required for real remote driving?
This is why I enjoy hanging out in the tildeverse (https://tildeverse.org/). It's just a loose group of public boxes you can SSH into and chat on (some of them share mailing lists, but others don't). Some people make websites or games or tools or whatever. But none of it is organized. It's just people hanging out online.
Although I know from your comment history that the question is unlikely to be genuine: you do have a point that many Germans like to forget that the entire point of the Eastern Front was to create "Lebensraum" (living space), which meant depopulation (either via deportations or mass executions). Especially the Slavic population was considered "sub-human".

That said, most Germans aren't even consciously aware Germany ever had colonies or what that meant. The awareness of war crimes in WW2 is much more widespread, despite the concerted post-war effort to shift the blame away from the Wehrmacht (both by Germans and by the Western Allies who benefited from West Germany not purging its entire military as Europe entered the Cold War).

Without necessarily understanding every nuance and knowing of every single war crime Germany committed during WW2, Germans in general and the German government specifically have spent more than seven decades acknowledging the Third Reich's wrongdoings and contributing financial aid to various forms of reparation. Germans and their government have done no such thing for Africa: the exploitation and massacre of Africans is barely even taught in history classes.
Good science tests assumptions. Even if the result often ends up unsurprising it is important to test assumptions as else we never find out which ones are wrong.

There were a number of cases of individuals being infected a second time after covid recovery. This article corroborates the evidence that individuals that had covid might have a low chance of reinfection and therefore might not need a vaccine. If you look at some other comments here you will see that still the evidence is not 100% clear cut, so good that data analysis continues in the future, e.g. to see if there are differences in how long the effect lasts between different kinds of vaccines and natural infection (there is also more than one way to have covid).
> It makes him tell everyone he's happy but that's where it ends. He's got too much pride to tell the truth.

This seems to be a very 21st century phenomenon; product marketing gets replaced by cult membership. You don't buy a Tesla to experience a great car, you buy Tesla to tell everyone how great the experience is.
I don‘t think autonomous driving can be bought today and in the near future. This is a moving target where there is continuous development happening. You may buy sensors, processors and actuators but software and other content is the more important. Also the backend server infrastructure is a continuous expenditure.

If competition works the price and cost structure can‘t be much divorced and that would indicate a fixed price plus a regular service fee. To further adoption it makes sense to drop the former and carry the investment risk by the side that best can afford it.
As a consumer, Uber has been a massive win for me. We own two “daily” drivers, but going downtown or to the airport in an Uber is convenient and cheaper than parking downtown or at the airport. On trips to other cities, Uber is often way cheaper than cabs.

I’ve never found Uber worse than cabs and maybe 1 in a 100 Ubers is dirty or smelly, reminding me of how awful cabs used to be about half the time. Many drivers seem about as happy as random workers in other industries but some seem quite a bit happier with their arrangement with Uber than most service workers seem to be.
This question does come up quite a lot. One thing the remember is that Cypress is "batteries included" testing framework, where Playwright is essentially just the browser automation part of it.

I know the Playwright team is "moving up the stack" and adding many specific testing features, but it's not at the same level (yet?) as Cypress.
I2P is simply an alternative web. Yes, it's slower, but everything else works in the same way as in the clearnet. You have readable names of the websites, you have search engines there. It looks like the web from the 90s.

> Could Starbucks host their website on I2P, to pick a random example?

Yes, they definitely can. Which additional infrastructure is needed? I tried to host websites there myself. Did not see any problems.
"You wouldn't DoWNLoAD a car" comes to mind.
I agree about all of the above; it's not a great currency, and it's certainly more volatile than most global currencies, but it is a currency. The idea of nations recognizing bitcoin or something like it as national currency (instead of their own or another country's currency) is monumental.

Personally I'm hoping the shift comes soon for proof of stake currencies with low transaction fees.
People in the same household have high chances of infecting each other.
This has never been true for consumers.

Well thats just not true. People make decisions about what to drive and how to drive it and how far to drive it based on the price of gas.
There are some nice ideas here, and perhaps some of them can even be realised by third party apps using the new Screen time developer APIs?

I don't think the "Persuasive Design" ideas are realistic though, not in the AppStore listing.
Pair Playwright with Robot Framework (https://github.com/MarketSquare/robotframework-browser) and you'll get awesome browser automation with solid reporting, good test instrumentation and support for pretty much any TA need you might have besides browser automation.
I'm interested in your personal experience with r/uk vs r/ukpolitics. I've stopped reading either as to me it seemed that they both had a pretty strong auth-left bias. I felt this was more pronounced in r/uk - to the point that it was/is a continuous stream of Twitter style hot takes. Although I suspect most of the readership/commenters are edgy 16 year olds so it's probably an unfair expectation that any of the discussion would be particularly nuanced. UK based threads on HN seem far more level headed.
If it would be just as cheap to ship via train or boat then why make the pipeline? If it costs more to ship then it costs more to sell and less of it will be sold. That, in itself, devoid of any bigger picture market predictions, is a huge win for humanity.

Fuck underpaying for carbon emissions. There need to be some current winners made into losers if we pretend to be humans that care about the future of humanity.
I think the largest effect would be a focus on what types of “”””news”””” someone as being exposed to.

For example, my experience with Facebook emotionally plummeted after they added the news tab on the right hand side. I don’t know what the current status is, because I basically stopped using Facebook because I couldn’t help getting pulled into the emotional nonsense of the conflicts that were being artificially portrayed.

Replace news articles with interesting historical or natural wonders on Wikipedia, and I think that would slowly force media organizations to stop relying on conflict and anger to generate revenue.

to;dr the internet should default towards eliciting senses of wonder for the user instead of senses of conflict.
Genocide (or rather genocide guilt) isn't a problem you can just pay to shut up and go away. That's almost hilariously absurd.

The difference between reparations and gifts of pity/guilt is not just in the wording - if you're unwilling to call what you're doing reparations (along with all that that entails), then frankly any amount of money you're offering is an insult.
