Apple probably actually cares about their customers’ satisfaction more than they care about assigning moral culpability.

This is it right here. Power-users will blame the user for having their device compromised. Users, on the other hand, will blame Apple. Apple will do anything they can to avoid negative PR like that.

Documentation is the required thing.

Tesla seems to be doing a lot of continuous development and the costs for that have to come from somewhere.

If a car company would charge me per day for heated seats, that would work for me, I don't use them that often. If they make me pay per year and they're installed in the car already... They've given me a nice electronics challenge, which adds value?

Physical co-lo is only cheaper if your time is worthless (ditto for Linux-on-the-corporate-desktop, or anything else that’s nominatively gratis).

My current SaaS gig runs in Azure (App Services and containers - no VMs nor “serverless”) and being completely free of the need to do sysadmin work is just so nice. When I was colocating my own rack about a decade ago there was always something that needed my attention, be it security updates, some new unexpected error in the syslogs, RAID drive failing, etc - that I’d need to commute to the DC an hour away or pay the DC’s helping-hands fees. Back when I was younger it was fun and valuable to gain those experiences, but right now I’m a west-coast SWE and no employer wants me to spend my time doing sysadmin/SRE work when my time is literally worth ten times more doing product work and letting MS’ Azure staff keeping things humming along.

For high-availability, AWS/Azure/GCP all the way! There’s no way a micro-ISV SaaS vendor can compete if they have to burn cycles doing unprofitable infrastructure work.

A lot of useful C programs can be written without dynamic memory allocation or multithreading though, while Rust seems to assume a sort of "base complexity" even for very simple programs as soon as memory access is involved.
I do agree - If there are two employees with the same work output, the one who took the time and effort to pave his way to replacement is going to be let go first.
The market doesn't decide, and everyone suffers. Ban people from storing their vehicles on public property and you're fine, but until that happens you're stuck with the externalities.

Oh and stop low density housing like this being built in cities.

This. If someone just thinks or suspects they Covid, it almost certainly was normal flu. Trust me, with actual Covid you’ll know quite clearly something foreign and new is attacking. You feel it in your cells and bones. Then the symptoms hit.
Where are the parents? Who is giving kids phone instead of something else? Also, why should kids tinker with computers if they can explore art by painting or music by learning an instrument or literature by reading?

What makes it important for them to use Unix rather than something that works fine the way it is while maintaining some standard of UX?

If kids show an interest in computers, they can just install unix on some computer like a raspberry pi and tinker on that.
It is my understanding that solar pannels have an ROI that is ever shorter. Hell, in many countries there are companies that arrange installation and financing, and that have good prices due to centralised purchasing.

But that is another discussion. The real point is in the first R of the hierachy of the three R's : Reduce, Re-use, Re-cycle. No need to compensate huge use of energy, if you're not using the energy in the first place.

Some of the things we do in our household to reduce energy / CO2 / oil footprint (by decreasing order of impact):

* own a house that is well insulated
* instead of heating it, put on a sweater
* instead of using an A/C, close shutters during hot parts of day during hot season
* go on holiday by train or car
* own a tiny car, that is 10 years old (we have two boys)
* use the car only for exceptions (I bring the boys to school in a bus, train for work)
* no red meat, very little other meat
* buy less stuff
* recycle packaging / paper
* when we buy stuff, take into account packaging (reusable bags for rice, pasta, nuts, chocolate, etc)

For the avoidance of doubt, these are not choices given by economics. We're in the top 5% earning. We simply have made a choice to limit our impact whenever we can. And honestly, I can't say that our lifestyle is suffering.

Does this eliminate our footprint? No. But we are using, by my account, 20% that of an average American household. Can everyone do all of this? No, probably not. Buying a well-insulated house is expensive. Not everyone can use public transport. But if everyone made an effort, the world would be a different place today.

Well that has left me confused. Does anyone have any backstory to this?
There were some discussions around this soon after the 2016 US presidential election, stating that the president-elect only had 1-2 banks willing to offer loans. As well as indicating that the estimated market value of the debt instruments was around 72 cents per USD. But, it being around 4-5 years ago, I only have vague memories and hearsay.
Maybe too short, but also Covid-19 isn't really just one disease anymore, but rather a family of strains.

Just yesterday the news had an article about how a national level soccer player for Sweden who had been infected previously in the past managed to get infected again and infect parts of the team.

The player in question had been infected about a year ago initially (before the British strain was found) and with the British strain now being the main one in Sweden I don't think it's a far fetch to say that re-infections of a different strain is actually quite likely once a certain amount of time has passed.
Well, that's the strategy right? We can't cut our addiction to oil in one go, it would kill us. So we make oil more and more expensive, and in parallel we take that money and help get alternative energies to where they need to be.

So I agree that it would have made more ecological sense to say "sure, build your pipeline, but we'll take a steadily increasing cut for every gallon that goes through it, and we're going to spend it on developing solar/hydro/nuclear"

If the pipeline is still profitable, great! The net environmental impact will be positive. If not... tant pis
I didn't have any burning sensation. More like a sort of tingling discomfort, and the "shortness of breath" feeling where I'm breathing normally but it doesn't feel like you're getting the normal amount of oxygen from each breath?

Also I never really had that much of a cough. Just a mild, intermittent dry cough.

It didn't help that graphics on the PC were absolutely terrible. IBM's monochrome monitor was beautiful, but text only. Their color graphics card had one of the worst interfaces you could imagine short of setting pixels one-by-one over, say, a serial port.

The PC world would have been a far more interesting scene if IBM had consulted with or purchased technology from someone like Atari or Commodore.

Don't get me started on audio.

IBM really blew it. Arguably, we're lucky they did, given the market opportunities that they created as a result.
It got too big. It's the internets default forum, it's actually a testament to the subreddit model that it actually has been able to keep growing without completely going to shit. I know there's people who think it has but there's still plenty of value in subreddits which have a defined purpose and moderate accordingly.

In the contrary. Somebody always owns it, at least in our economic system. If I had bought/leased a new iPhone I couldn't have bought as many Apple shares during the dip last year. And I could afford to buy during a pandemic because I have no rent to pay.

Genuinely curious: why haven’t you helped him try to get these bugs and issues resolved?
Creative professionals gained immensely through Apple's approach. If I'm a music producer, a film maker, a writer, a graphic designer, and so on, I gain immensely from a computer that just works 99% of the time. I don't need or want to spend time on thinking what's the best set of drivers I should install, or worrying about all the dependencies of this new open source program with no hint of UX-design I've just installed.
And yet, anything that isn't exactly that is often dismissed as lower class by people who have learned that over years and years, and don't seem to understand that there's an entire world of good people who just want to apply their curiosity at a different level.
That is, in my opinion, a limited world view. In my experience, it also does not happen both ways. People that can't do that (but maybe can master film coloring post-processing -- I invite you to give a stab at that, if you dare) have enormous respect of the low level tinkerers. The opposite is very often not through.
efficacy sure, but we can maximize safety while also negating environmental impact through heavy taxation directed to alternative energy projects
VW ships 3M cars per year, let's say a car is used 1h per day. Given all cars are used in this subscription model, we look at $765M MRR, or almost $10B per year, which is already about 10% of their current revenue.

Given that autonomous vehicles do not suck time out of the user's budget, they might even be used more. At 3h/day, we already at $30B yearly revenue - almost half of what they made in 2020.

And software has marginal costs, so once you got over the investment (they recruit developers extremely heavily in Germany right now), you are looking at a more than comfortable income stream.

Not sure about you, but I literally see the level of dopamine floating on the VW management floors right now.

That said, I hope I never need a personal car in my life.

> due to the business clinging on to legacy systems and refusing to invest in new ones

This is a massive generalisation and one that I don't think is as clear cut as you make it sound. Most businesses in my experience would happily replace a horrible hard-to-maintain legacy system if...

* It could be done for a reasonable cost
* It wouldn't take ages to do or at least they know how long
* They knew how to find the right product amongst thousands of sales people telling them to use theirs
* They could find a reliable way to migrate to the new system
* They weren't heavily regulated and knew they were on the hook for millions in compensation if they get something wrong

I think a bigger reason is that the software engineering industry is only just starting to form a formal trade where quality is assured by agreed processes and you are more likely to get consistency across suppliers closer to medicine and law. At the moment, there are no agreed worldwide regulations for software, there are no requirements for software engineers regarding experience/qualification and many other reasons.

If we can solve some of those, or at least get close, then we help derisk businesses who want to stay competitive but are currently too scared to!
Hey everyone - OP here,

Over the last few months I've been helping my friends prepare for interviews at FAANG, since I was fortunate enough to receive offers when I applied myself a few years ago.

They've found my mocks really helpful in improving their technique, but when it comes to finding more people to do interviews with online they've really struggled - people they're partnered up with on existing platforms are often at a completely different level and can't test them like a real interviewer would.

So I decided to build something to help! https://mockme.io

The key idea with mockme is that instead of being matched with someone randomly, we use your LeetCode rating, previous experience (verified by LinkedIn) and other info to find a partner who can challenge you as a real interviewer would.

Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, questions or any other comments Oh - and signup if you'd like to join the beta!
Hi. Is there any public information on what you guys are doing with your cathode production?
Because we also need sophisticated, powerful internet communications devices that contain our personal data, private photos and video, social media information, etc, etc and that we also rely on for a huge range of creative tasks.

These are not the right tools to also have completely exposed with no security or guard rails, where we can easily open up or broadcast everything to the world.

You can have your cake and eat it too, there are devices available that work just how you want, but that doesn't mean every device has to work that way. It certainly doesn't mean that my device has to work that way, just because you want it to.
Also, how can it be surprising that a brain-related phenomenon is not well understood?

I mean, I can think of a few brain-related questions with no good answers:

- What is consciousness and how does a brain become conscious?

- How and why is one specific consciousness attached to one specific brain (& body)? Why am I controlling my body and not yours?

The EU has one of those "ideas" websites where people can post and vote on proposals. (Of course, most proposals are going to go nowhere, but maybe it will put the idea in the head of some bureaucrat somewhere.)

I remember back in my DOS days as a kid tinkering with autoexec.bat, himem and all that just to get an addition 10Kb or memory to run a game.

Now, with Windows in particular, they're slowly removing my ability to dick about and do what I want.

The defaults are all pretty much set to "we know best" and you have to jump through more and more hoops to disable stuff (Windows update, I'm looking at you!).

I'm moving to Linux (again) at the end of the month (got uni exams coming up... want to get them out the way). Had issues with it in the past but I will try and live with them this time as I want my freedom back.
Exactly this. My brother only played games on our C64 and Amiga, while I did nothing but program on it.

When the pipeline is working perfectly that may be true, but if it is spilling upstream of you and polluting your groundwater with hydrocarbons and you don't know until it's started to cause health issues because monitoring a long pipeline is hard...you might feel differently then.

The long tail risk is just higher when it comes to a pipeline.
The "lisp" section seems to conflate "object graphs" and object-oriented programming. It talks about classes while talking about garbage collection and before mentioning "object-oriented".
Lisps, Haskell and ML have different model than the other languages in the list and don't have classes, objects are usually arrays of pointers with no special fields. Also, hash tables are usually implemented inside the language.

You, yes. But do your superiors think the same? Usually it goes - "well, read if you must, but better do some real work". Unfortunately.
How on earth is the headline making a mistake?

Here's some excerpts:

Fastly, the cloud-computing company responsible for the issues, said the bug had been triggered when one of its customers had changed their settings.

Fastly senior engineering executive Nick Rockwell said: "This outage was broad and severe - and we're truly sorry for the impact to our customers and everyone who relies on them."

But a customer quite legitimately changing their settings had exposed a bug in a software update issued to customers in mid-May, causing "85% of our network to return errors", it said.

The headline accurately portrays the story given the limit on headlines.
Yes, its hard to tell the exact algorithmic underpinnings of production models that Google uses but you have to assume that although they have some done some impressive strides in fields that isn't immediately profitable (AlphaGo, AlphaFold...) they also continuously push new research in things that are obviously of interest for Google and Alphabet- especially in text-to-speech, speech-to-text, information-retrieval etc.

The doodle has character. The corporate illustration looks like it's either a component of an extremely generic free landing page template, or the product of a very jaded, overworked designer churning out rehashed versions of the same pastel vectors they took from an image stock site 5 times a day.

The rest of the bullets in the article are overused rules blindly followed over the years to ensure no website is differentiable from the last.

Above-the-fold is such a well-known myth it's been used for decades now by middle-managers with 5-minutes-reading-wikipedia design experience to bully designers and developers alike into cramming as much content into an artificial letterbox as possible.

The UTC abbreviation was made as a compromise between french and english[1] rather than bloody-mindedness from any one nation. This was back in the day when such compromises could be reached without rancour.

Really interesting project, will check it out!
I agree with you, in fact.

The issue is that the fact they decided to impose a single language to all the country is another example of the nationalism I was talking about. Deciding to erradicate existing languages and cultures for nationalistic reasons. That is cultural genocide. It's not unlikely of what Chinese are doing.

You can contrast this with the case of Switzerland or India where you see you can have a strong cohesion and feeling of belonging to the cpuntry without needing to erradicate significant parts of your own culture.
Just hit me that it'd be quite interesting given the advances in ML to see how well a computervision based system could be able to evaluate jumps,etc from these sports. Once skeleton-detection is in, then a ML system given historical scores matching relative bone positions(with some adjustments for era proficiency, athlete physiology,etc) should be able to be fairly accurate in giving unbiased scores and be able to flag abberations in human judging.
Fastly isn’t exactly small, and their status page was updated continuously throughout the incident.
