I feel this approach merely _accumulates_ breaking changes (breaking in the sense that they break your workflow, not that Firefox fails to start).

When you update Debian to a new release, you suddenly get a huge influx of changes: new Firefox, new DE, new bash, new kernel, new email client, etc. Everything gets updated at once.

It's likely that more than one thing will break your workflow, and you'll spend a significant amount of time dealing with all of those at once.

Arch just spreads that over time. Instead of having to deal with ALL of these things at once every 6 months (or every two years), I deal with tiny changes very often. It's very unlikely that both the kernel AND Firefox will have changes that affect me on the same day.

I also feel it's more sustainable to deal with small change once every couple of weeks, than huge changes twice a year. Arch is stable in that the changes per day ratio is constant over a long period of time, while's Debian is 0 changes for months, and then hundreds of changes at once.
I always was super careful with that stuff. The final send function wasnt unlocked until knew for certain all worked as intended.

It's a very valuable company that's just taken off and for the first time in a long time gives the US an edge in the global auto industry. Shooting it in the wing now, even if it's the legal duty, gives everyone else an advantage. So blind eye it is.

Tesla has no reason to crash and burn but without a real or perceived edge over the competition it wouldn't thrive. And the self driving claim is a hefty part of that edge.

I agree 100%, I'm a product leader at Amazon, and if a meeting goes off the rails we will say "let's take that offline". I even inject things from my background and end it with "let's connect offline". I've even told leaders higher up in my management chain "Let's not solution this here, we can schedule time for that if we agree on next steps". They don't mind, we're all busy, often very excited about what we're reading, and in free-flow feedback mode.

It's easy to get excited and run off topic a bit. Brining it back in actually shows a respect for everyone in the room. Not everyone in the meeting is interested in the random off the rails thread anyway, schedule a follow up and get the meeting back on track.

Indeed. The M1 is the start of Apple Silicon on macOS and what is possible. I'm very bullish on Apple Silicon, however I would not even purchase an M1 machine just yet; Especially an M1 Macbook Pro, just as it is already getting replaced in less than a year.

> Since the last article, Docker has finally come out on this platform and now works flawlessly.

At least you waited and you bought it when the software you needed was stable, unlike the fanatics that jumped in very early and were screaming about how fast it was on launch day, but never mentioned that the software they needed was not ported or ready yet and it doesn't even run on the machine along side with the machine having lots of recovery issues.

I'm not 'waiting' 6 months (since launch) for the developers to port their software to Apple Silicon just for me to do my work. At that point I might as well use my existing Intel machine and then jump onto an M2 machine.

Still plenty of time to wait.
Cool, how "new"/now affordable technology transforms such situations into something manageable!

Is she hearing back from companies initially? If not, she might be applying to the wrong jobs (old, not actually hiring, wrong skills or experience level, etc). She might need to fix up her resume, LinkedIn profile, etc.

Does she have at least one decent looking publicly accessible project? That can help.

She should consider blogging about technical things to demonstrate she can communicate about technical things. 5-10 posts is all you need. That can help.

She should network. Get referred to jobs. Meet people by participating in organizations doing events (online and or in person), volunteering e.g. Code for America. Do informational interviews. Etc.

I like this a lot and I also use this. Comments as a narrative - you may quickly scan the function and read only 'headlines'-type of comments and if they are good, not too verbose, not too sparse, you have all the information needed. Combine it with a bit more descriptive summary at the beginning and and it's a pleasure to read and you immediately know where are the parts of interest. Reading pure code, even with the crazy enterprise style verbose function names is much harder and takes more time you need to waste on parts that in the end don't matter for the case you're looking for
Typically you get that feedback, in a very clear and positive way. I've never felt like someone was putting me down when my doc was not answering the questions.

The goal of a doc is not to show how smart you are. The goal is to expose the truth as "We" know it and expose it to critical feedback to dig deeper, or decide we have enough to make a decision.

A technique I learnt as a kid from my uncle was to mindlessly use physical interaction to “feel” the state of things and learn a habit of doing it all the time. For the example of locking the door, it would be trying to open it and pull/push on the handle right after closing it. This seems to stick far longer in one’s memory.

On the other hand, if it's a scam, Tesla owners should feel scammed.

But as far as I can tell, Tesla owners are absolutely loving the car, even with the many small defects.

Still seems that even though the car doesn't reach the marketing message, it still is one of the best on the market.
Autonomous driving needs to be banned and then it needs to be regulated. I don't think Tesla has as high safety standards as what we are used to.

Even if data showed 0 accidents, I just cannot trust camera's and software with my and others lives.

Thanks for those links; I was about to ask if we could just make new SID chips, but the RetroComp link in particular appears to be the answer “yes”.
Although I haven’t gotten any obviously resurfaced SID chips (something that, for one reason or another, does happen often) the majority of SID chips I’ve gotten off of eBay (sample size <10 for what it’s worth) have been junk; either not working at all, or only partly working.

Still managed to get myself a working dual SID configuration with one 6581 and one 8580. But even That is obviously not ideal, since you can’t do cool stereo SID with that, at least if you want to it sound good. I thought maybe it would be OK, but a lot of tracks really need one or the other, the filters are usually pretty mucked up on one or the other. But you know, beggars can’t be choosers. Maybe I could do a stereo setup with one SwinSID.

Even though I didn’t grow up with a C64 though, man, nothing really beats the real thing when it comes to SID. It’s a shame it’s so damn challenging to emulate.

Both "fusor" and "muon-catalyzed fusion" are 'cold' fusion techniques, and although the energy returns are 'abysmal' and 'bad' respectively, they are both real-life fusion techniques that do not rely on the conventional high-temperature high-pressure reactors.

Until we go back to understanding that morality is not an Overton Window that shifts with the tides of whatever discourse is currently dominating the headlines, but rather a fixed set of behaviours that have stood the test of time for millenia, then we are all just shooting the breeze.

It's precisely because morality is viewed as fluid that the world is in the mess it's in. And yes, it's in a mess, after all, it's when a nation forgets God, that tyrants forge their chains

> That's more like "do janitors believe that with hard work they will be better off in five years’ time"

Do you believe that working really hard as a janitor for 5 years is going to have any meaningful impact on your life compared to working really hard as a lawyer for 5 years?

What kind of career trajectory do you see for a janitor over 5 to 10 years?

If you are unfortunate to get very few opportunities in life, to the point where the best work you can get is a janitor, how is hard work going to suddenly change anything?

It's not going to give you money or time to get a degree or something significant to change your job prospects. So unless you get lucky, then no amount of hard work is going to help you.

And it is equally unlikely that starting their own business will help, because most businesses fail within the first 5 years.
Flies are small... you'd need a lot of light, multiple angles and good cameras/lenses to decently illuminate the flies, which has the problem that all the light will only attract more flies.
I was puzzled by the responses of therapists finding out about this. I guess as an engineer I’m always thinking of a quick practical solution. I would set up a camera where the dryer is. Taking the dryer itself is of course much better and simpler. What I find absolutely dumb is to skip these immediate remedies and instead trying to medicate someone off the bat.

There is some nuance thats being lost here.

The reason, at least in the Norwegian article is "big fast car that Norwegians are not used to" and not auto pilot at least.

As a comparison my former car, a Toyota Avensis, was 175 cm wide. My model X is 220 wide or something. That's almost half a meter more. Have yet to crash it though :)

EVs in general have higher crash rate, most likely due to the instant torque.
In my opinion there are two approaches to the idea of a function

Some use it as a method to separate code into independent, concise blocks that represent a singe step in a larger algorithm. Do one thing and do it well.

The other is code reuse, if a function is not reused in other places why create it at all? That's the reason for preferring comments rather than fragmenting code into add_vertical_scrollbar() functions. It's easier to read from top to bottom instead of jumping all over the place
I think a tax lawyer would have to answer this, and that it probably depends on the country.

In my country, I (even if "I" means a company) can receive a business gift with a maximum value of 42eur, twice per tax year from one company - everything above that is taxed.

Let's say i did some work for a local store and charged them 2000eur for my work. To do my work, I had 1000eur of expenses. I pay tax on 1000eur difference. With eg. 20% income tax, I'd have 800eur of profit. (yes, a bit simplified, I know)

Then they decide to give me a 200eur coupon for their store and give it to me (to my company), and this is counted towards my income (2200eur now). If i actually need stuff from their store, I use it, so now I earned 2200eur gross, spent a 200eur coupon in their store and 800eur anywhere, I have 1200eur of profits, and even after tax I earn more than I did before - with 20% income tax, I'd have 960eur of profit in cash form.

On the other hand, if I don't need their services, and can't sell the coupon to someone else, the situation is different. I still got 2200eur of income (2k+200eur coupon), spent 1000eur in other stores, get taxed on the 1200eur, technically still have 960eur of profit, but 200 of those are in a form of a worthless coupon, and only 760 in cash - so their usless coupon is actually costing me 40eur.
1. Don't allow other people to control your feelings.

Isn't that a lot like curing depression by saying "why don't you just stop being depressed?" Different people are wired differently and humans are on the whole really bad at consciously controlling their psychological state.

You even said in the previous post that crying and being sad is OK in some situations (like when a loved one died). Why didn't you choose to control your feelings and not be sad then?
> Until we go back to understanding that morality is [...] a fixed set of behaviours that have stood the test of time for millenia

You mean like how today it's still considered moral to own slaves, to execute criminals, to deny women rights that men have, etc? Like that?
It destroys at least one team’s morale and increases attrition directly. If a company cares only about results and has a good supply line of employees like for FAANG companies have, it might work. But for most companies, it would only lead to implosion.
Right, but my two backup generators are not competing, the example seems inappropriate
Actually I have often pushed a meeting with a simple "The document is not ready".

Obviously you can get push back if you do it too often, however nobody wants to join a bad doc read meeting, they'd rather you get a bit more time to work out the issues in the doc.

Often times the issues are cross team, you need to get alignment with partner teams before you join the meeting, or if you can't you write a "hotly debated topics" section with the partner team and just go for it. There is a balance, you should not spend too much time driving for alignment, but you would be better served to come to the meeting showing both sides are talking and understand the point and counter-point.

I couldn't agree more with your points.

In my case, gaming was response to depression. I would play immersive or competitive games.

Those would 100% hijack my brain so it couldn't focus on anything else. I especially love RTS games as they demand more attention that you have. Inadvertently making all your problems 'go away' (for a time).
No, actually I completely glossed over the 'sit up' part of that definition. My choice of 'stay sat down' as an example was a complete coincidence.

What I meant was just that it's another example of seemingly ungrammatical 'stay <verb in simple past>', but one that's in reasonably common modern usage, and thus that the meaning of 'woke' in 'the stay woke ball' is in the 'to stay up revelling' usage, not (merely, obviously it's necessary) 'wake up and stay in that state' usage.
As a Tesla owner I've grown pretty bitter with the car after 2 years. For $40k my auto wipers don't even work, Spotify playback is buggy, and I'm stuck with Tesla's shitty navigation instead of a sane alternative like Waze. I don't even have waypoints for planning trips, which are especially important for electric cars. In his hubris, Elon has outright rejected CarPlay - while doing absolutely nothing to improve the built in software.

Tesla's stated range on the website is basically a complete lie. I can only safely budget ~160 miles, even though my SR+ was sold advertising ~240 miles. The interior quality is pretty terrible for the price and I have to pay Tesla to enable rear seat heating which my $40k car already has installed.

I think Tesla will lose a not-insignificant amount of current owners when it's time to upgrade. A lot of us are sick of Tesla spending finances on adding worthless videogames when there are still serious shortcomings with the software. I am personally waiting for prices on the Audi e-tron GT to come down a bit, or for Porsche to release an electrified 718. The only issue is charging infrastructure, which Tesla absolutely dominates.

Yeah, but this is a very US-centric view. China is (arguably) far ahead of US both in EV technology in general and Tesla specifically. It's hard to separate personality cult of Elon Musk from Tesla, but for many outside US, there's absolutely nothing special about Tesla except for the valuation part.
English tax dollars pay for an unfathomably large amount of money preserving antiquity, much of which was flat out stolen from other nations or came on the backs of slaves.

The whole “give one inbred family billions of dollars per year to maintain their long-since-neutered monarchy” scam always impresses me. As if the Trump family convinced tax payers to give his family a couple of billion dollars every year for the hell of it.

The most common approach I've seen is lift & shift to a VM and possibly some devops pixie dust on top to adopt golden image deployments.

My perspective is limited and evidence anecdotal but I've seen only one on-prem to serverless "migration" project so far and that was a complete rewrite. The original codebase was ~20 years old, had a tight dependency on an expensive proprietary database and a variety of scalability issues so it would have needed thorough rearchitecting anyway. A more common pattern is to do the lift & shift and incrementally either create new services or migrate existing ones to serverless where it makes sense (the strangler pattern).
I remember reading from a Googler somewhere that exactly how Google Pay was built. Several regions were asked to build Google Pay product and finally the version built for India by Singapore team won so Google made that as the default version to everyone. And I guess many from original US Pay team quit or went to other projects or something like that.

How do you find out whether a user reports you as spam? Wouldn’t that require some sort of feedback from Google, Microsoft, etc?
I'm honestly not sure whether there's really a good excuse to invent a format that's immediately incompatible with all GraphQL tooling out there, which would need to be converted. After all, debugging and logging tools could still display these.

It also conveniently leaves out automatic persisted queries which would replace queries with hashes, or regular persisted queries, where we'd have a limited set of allowed queries on the server-side that it accepts.

I think ultimately when I think of sending GET requests for GraphQL, I'm immediately more worried about the URL length limit. The risk being that at some point in the future we may run over this limit and get into a lot of unexpected trouble.

Also, this article assumes that you can only stringify GraphQL a single way, with spaces. However a not as commonly known detail in the spec is that any commas are treated the same as whitespaces. Hence, this is a valid query:

{item(id:4){id,name,author(id:4){id,name}}

Which isn't far off from reading a complex query string IMO, works with any existing GraphQL API via GET if the API already accepts GET requests, and isn't a special format that'll need to be learned supporting the full syntax.
You're talking about the word's usage as a verb (the past tense of "wake", ie "I woke this morning"), the article mentions its usage as an adjective ("to be woke").
