> The dealer explained that this is a "critical safety feature" that they install on all the vehicles they sell. He then explained that it makes the brake light flash whenever you press the brake pedal. I read about it for 10 minutes, and found there's a legitimate system in use in Europe that detects emergency braking and flashes the brake light. Since that system detects emergency braking and not just pressing the brake pedal, it doesn't go off all the time and actually means something to other drivers.

Good god, slimy sales tactics asides that sounds like complete cargo-culting of the feature making it not just useless for its original purpose but actively misleading.

And I would expect the original feature grew at least in part from the common habit (I don't think it's ever required) of enabling the hazards when reaching an unforeseen obstruction: on many cars these days the hazards will automatically switch on during emergency braking (usually detected via an accelerometer, it tends to come on at the same time as brake assist though I don't think the two are coupled), it's possible that on some the brakes will also flash though I can't remember ever seeing that.

Of course many US cars have red turn signals / hazards, and US standards even allow brakes and turn signals to use the same lights, which is… not sane.
my feeling is I won't trust it until the company takes the liability. Tesla won't so they clearly do not believe it works. Waymo does so I'd consider riding a Wayno car.

To me it's a useless feature for me to have to be ready to correct the car's mistakes. To actually do it is way way more stressful than just driving myself. And, if I ever get comfortable in what the car is doing then I'll stop giving it my full attention which is exactly what your told you're not allowed to do.

I have a feeling that your response, just like OP's is an emotional one, based on experiences you've had in life. In my 50 years on earth, I've witnessed all 4 kinds of marriages.

1. Unhappy couple that stayed together and worked out their problems

2. Unhappy couple that stayed together and remained miserable

3. Unhappy couple that split and are happy with their decision

4. Unhappy couple that split and now regret having done that

You cannot deny that there's beauty in 1, and I think when you made your comment number 2 is probably what was going through your mind.

In any case I did connect with OPs comment, and do think that things have value because they last long. People don't optimize for happiness in life, they optimize for other abstract concepts like fulfillment and purpose etc. Marriage and family can give a great sense of purpose and more fulfillment than any fleeting romance (or selfish decision-making). Life is long and full of ups and downs, marriage (just like religion and children) can serve as a great anchor point.
I liked this tool. Just be sure that if you want to do stuff like transformations on the data that you are migrating that if you don't already know a dialect of lisp that you're going to have to pick that up real fast.

Might be viable if you have time to do that but if not strongly consider writing your own migration scripts in python or whatever you already know.
That reads like obvious sarcasm, but the follow-up comments by same author made me doubt it.

> My reply was less about whether or not it's a good interview question and more about the comments people are making in this thread that the question is completely invalid because only a "fool" would write code like that.

If you ask about how to uppercase a string, certain constructs like []+[], or whether camelCase or PascalCase is superior you will get the people who know the answers to those questions.
Two short comments.

(1) There is no such thing as "artificial scarcity of learning material", there were never better times in that regard. Just look at the many, free, course programs (Coursera, etc), and also the complete (sometimes not quite legal) availability of many textbooks and papers (scihub comes to mind) online. You want to learn something? Never in the history of mankind was there a time with better access.

(2) Have you been to a socialist country? Have you visited Poland in the 80s, or Yugoslavia, etc.? I don't know where you currently live, but it's most likely a huge step down in quality of life for the vast majority of people.
I think the interpretation intended there is that if you hand a representation of a file to a tool, it needs to be immutable.

The representation likely is full of string refs and pointers to the actual data in memory to prevent egregious copying, and the caller of the api should not be able to modify the data structure they receive and accidentally modify the actual file unless they do so through an api intended for it.

Nothing to do with copyright, more that swift-format or your lsp integration should never accidentally modify a file without user initiation.

If I'm not mistaken this is allowed by the US law.
Because not being represented by representatives of the same category (in kind of category: sex, race, social background, wealth...) in democracy diminish your chances that your rights will be defended.

If women aren't part of parliaments, we can't expect women's rights to advance significantly and all people (including men) would greatly benefit from this (better collaboration, more peaceful society).
You don’t need to be condescending. We all know that using dependencies saves time, and it’s not possible to build any practical software without them. An OS is a dependency. A GUI library is a dependency. A database is a dependency.

Sure, you can limit them, but you can’t live without them. That’s not theorizing, that’s the whole industry’s collective wisdom.

This isn't really true. It depends on your hardware. My friend has a 3080 and was making $30-$50 a day mining eth. 3080 has a max usage at 750W, and let's say your computer in total is at 1.5KW. Average rate in US is 13 cents/KWh. Don't think Europe is much higher than. Other countries probably less. Also life expectancy decline of mining is highly over exaggerated by GPU companies so people don't buy them second hand.
Tesla still don't have a public FSD. All they have is traffic aware cruise control with lane assist + stop signs. And some other bits and pieces.

SQLite is an absolute powerhouse. Filesystem interop is the best way for it to start proving itself in any codebase. Loading assets for a AAA game straight from disk? You would have a really hard time doing better than SQLite - especially if you have millions+ of unique items to contend with. In many cases, SQLite is faster than the actual file system it resides upon [0].

We use SQLite for nearly 100% of business object persistence in our product today. The performance & scalability arguments fall on some very deaf ears after years of experience optimizing and succeeding with this stack in production.

Corrected the sentence:

"If we view classical logic as based on set theory, then intuitionistic logic would be based on category theory and its related theories."

And regarding the fact that CT is not "needed" for algebraic logic what I say is "category theory and its related theories." where I consider orders related to categories.
I think it's because they try to impress their non-technical friends with flashy colourful and matrix-like terminal windows and come off as hackers when in reality most of them don't even know what a stack overflow is.
I think the problem lies, as usual, with america. These lamp clusters were designed in a European environment where we have brake lights and turn indicators. By the time the design was nearing production it was probably too late to cancel when they realised that some parts of this planet have the boneheaded idea that flashing the red stop light was a good idea. Mini therefore had three options:
1) Sell the global spec in the states, which they can't do because there will be at least one state who thinks its too foreign or "un american".
2) Don't sell in the states, which I guess they could do since this is a factory modification and not part of the standard spec, but now they have a lot of undesirable cars because you can no longer visually distinguish the up-specced car from the basic model.
3) Change the orange bulb for red and sell cars to the boneheaded (and dangerous) american standard of flashing the stop lights.
Even then, the problem is that it's sometimes hard to say whether there is nothing of value in there or whether you just don't get it. At least I read quite a few papers where I knew the information was in there, but it was formulated cryptic enough so that it took me a long time to find out.

> Self driving cars are a nice luxury, especially in city driving, not something that radically improves our world. You get to read your phone instead of paying attention, and the trade-off is someone might get killed. It's like treating a rash with a drug that could give you a heart attack. That's a far cry from, "with this technology something that took days and $$$$ now takes hours and $" as was the case with all the older examples you listed.

This is the opposite of the premise and the conclusion is the total opposite of the goal of self driving cars. A core premise of self driving cars is that they will be far safer than human-driven vehicles. 1.35 million people are killed on roadways every year globally. Saving over a million lives a year means a lot. The technology isn't quite there yet, but it is likely that it will be and the promise is quite real. It's not like Tesla's are killing people at a significantly higher rate than regular drivers with Autopilot - which does not seem to be true [1].

You have two options in this case, tacking on an mssql or general db connect library is asking a lot of a tool made by one guy in lisp.

First is writing your own tool with the connector libraries working fine on windows sql server in the lang of your choice which is great if you have to do transformation on the data for whatever reason while you are importing - the second is dumping from mssql to csv, then loading it in, which is honestly the KISS way to go as long as that is all you need to do.

Best of luck!

This is why your test suite passes, not because of an avoidance of outdated tech or poor practices. You rerun your flaky tests until they pass. That’s bad engineering, and the definition of non-determinism.
You have a very broken idea (just like most equality supporters) about what gender equality is. It should be equal opportunity not equal outcome. The usual argument about having a parliament divided 50/50 is that the population is divided roughly 50/50. But everybody always somehow forgets that even women voters aren't voting for women...

Is it not already several orders of magnitude better? The average human only drives a few thousand miles a year and experiences a varying amount of accidents during that time. FSD drives millions if not billions of miles a year, and lifetime accidents are still in double or low triple digits since being released in 2012 (I think). A far cry from 6 million per year.

I'm a taillight enthusiast, but, I must say, it never even occurred to me that these look like an arrow, even after watching the gif.

It's much less awful than the Mini Clubman, which, like so many new vehicles, have decided to install brake lights and signals IN THE BUMPER. My understanding is there's an EU (?) regulation that taillights must be visible when the trunk/hatch is open; eg, for roadside emergencies where you are broken down but are getting things out of the back, your lights must still be visible.

Manufacturers have designed around this by having taillights that go up with the hatch, but still have brake/signal/various lights way down in the bumper. So you'll be driving behind a vehicle, seeing its normal taillights lit up with the headlights, but when they go to brake or signal, segments 2 feet lower come on. The visibility of this 'solution' is far worse than using lights up high. Yes, we have the center-mounted high stop light, but this is a step in the wrong direction, and makes turn signals less visible than ever.

Also, my standard rant, ban red turn signals. They should always and forever be amber, which gets rid of a ton of confusion due to pulsing brake lights.

Maybe public common repository shouldn't be used as a dumping ground for every random guy learning how to make their first script.

Some people can go up to 28khz: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_range#Humans

> Under ideal laboratory conditions, humans can hear sound as low as 12 Hz[11] and as high as 28 kHz

It's just a fraction of an octave over 22khz, but that probably explains why some people swear that 96khz sources sound better than the CD.

Related: When I ripped my DVD-A collection, (I like music in surround,) I downsampled everything to 48khz, 16-bit. Later, if I played the original 96khz version, I did notice a slight crispness to the music. It's anecdotal, and I thought it was placebo effect, until I came across the above link.

Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code

For helping realize that in all the books telling me how to write good code, explaining language constructs, and working as a software developer, none of them ever made it clear to me that programmers spend less than half their time writing new code from scratch. For showing me that programming involves revising and improving far more than opening up an editor to a new file in an empty repo.
Funny you chose to say jpeg, because jpegxl is just on it's way to getting big. If you're dealing with a lot of images the savings are probably big enough to warrant an update.

What a waste. They should've at least left 1 or 2 for getting a basic display output, instead of bundling it with a discrete gpu.
Influencer is such a silly term. Some youtuber get s bunch of folk as fans so suddenly think they're somehow relevant to others. If everybody has this view then you have an ocean of folk who are trying to convince each other that they are somehow relevant. Meanwhile for most people life moves on but these influencers sound like they'll need to keep trying to reclaim their 15 mins of fame. I'm bored of the term already.
Within healthy communities the need for meaningful human interaction is spread out among the community and not placed solely on your spouse. Therefore, I suggest a large driver of marital loneliness arises because marriage is not capable, on its own, of solving loneliness. Loneliness roughly means a lack of meaningful relationships. Communities offer the opportunities for various levels of connection from close friends to casual acquaintances while connecting all the individuals to each other (i.e. you have your close friends but everyone also knows each other). Furthermore, healthy communities create a dynamic environment where new relationships form spontaneously as the individuals grow and change (e.g. the former acquaintance marries your sister and now you become close friends, you have a kid and get to know the other parents in the community better, etc).

In this way, communities and marriage form a symbiotic relationship. Stable marriages become the bedrock of a community, as family provide the most stable structure for the community. However, strong communities also provide a dynamism and support that reduce the burden on marriage to provide a fulfilling life to those within it.

However, meaningful communities have been almost entirely eroded by the acids of modern life: increased mobility (communities, like all relationships, require time), car reliant infrastructure, declining religious participation, and economies built on individual consumption all make it harder to build, find, and belong to communities. And with the decline of communities, the sense of belonging and meaning that once was spread out over a largely stable group now falls to a single individual - your spouse.

In fact, one could argue that the increase in marital breakdown observed during the 20th century is itself a second-order effect of the breakdown of communities in that same time frame. Even the liberalization of the divorce laws could, arguably, be framed as a response to a trend already in motion rather than kickstarting it from out of nowhere.
