Just because you can make steering, braking, and acceleration changes to the car does not mean you are “in control”. The software makes such aggressive decisions that it can become impossible to react, causing massive additional danger to others, such as was the case in the recent crash.

If that’s the case then something is wrong with their data. They say that 3.78% is the individual income tax “burden” on personal income in California and that is just not true unless they are doing some sort of average across the population. The income tax rate in California can be as high as ~13%

I've heard of examples that increased it, but only like +0.2 on 1.7 replacement rate. Nothing substantial enough to actually reverse the trend.

And yet you still won't be fully protected. Seems to me there's lots of vaxx regret from the double dosed, when they find out about omicron.

I'll check if you post in a few months. Otherwise, thank you for your contribution to science. In the mean time, don't recommend taking up competitive soccer.
You are downvoted, but I think you make an important point - just because results cant be replicated, doesnt mean its not science. As long as someone keeps investigating the results, showing that they dont work and why, its still science - we learn from mistakes (which is the essence of the scientific method). It stops being science when we just accept any results that are being published and turn them into dogma.

Is this the bureaucracy defense? I need to be certified, have 30 years experience, and do a 10,000 page analysis before I can have a "legitimate" opinion.
Yes, and one of the ways "documented here" is "Create a Pull Request"!

How is creating PRs going to get us "faster progress" when the very complaint from OP is that PRs are left to rot? And some PRs as simple as 1-line critical bugfixes that have been rotting for over 3 months? See, e.g., https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/issues/3665#issuecomment...

Shouldn't open PRs be prioritized over open issues anyway? Folks have put in the effort to not just complain about, but to FIX the bugs, and they are ignored.
You mean 1990's C++.
If we're talking modern .NET ( 6 for example ) you have 4 options,
let's assume a simple hello world without third party dependencies:

1. Build it runtime dependent: ( which requires the NET 6 runtime to be pre installed ) on your computer in order to be able to run:
You get a single exe file.

2. Build it self contained: You get a directory with a bunch of dlls and one exe
But no runtime needs to be installed on the target computer

3. Build it self contained + single exe: You a get a single exe that embeds all those dlls and unpacks them in memory ( since net 6, in net 5 it would copy them to a temp directory )

4. Build it using AOT Mode: You get a single, statically linked exe.
This is probably the closest to a standard Rust (statically linked) build.
However AOT mode is not yet official and requires some fiddling still, but should become stable for NET 7 next year.
And you loose out on some features obviously like runtime code generation
I am aware it devalues the currency, it is the least morally hazardous way though.

It is inevitable that the longer people live during their non working years and the more top heavy the population pyramid becomes, that there will be less for future generations’ during their younger years.
IIRC it's just stored on someone's Dell Inspiron that they've got laying around in an office. Might be outdated info, but it's really nothing special if memory serves.
I replied to the same argument in a different comment. There is literally a thousand ways to do it.

Eg

- Post on twitter/facebook
- pay for a proprietary stack
- pay for an open source stack (donate)
- print stuff and hand them out in person (half joking, but you get the point i hope)
When a protest involves deliberate, nonviolent violations of law, it is better described as civil disobedience. If you engage in civil disobedience, you should be prepared to face the consequences, and argue why the law is bad to a judge. Civil rights activists have known this for centuries.
Surely then the responsibility lies with the people who decided to use this apparently incompetent work in their infrastructure?

If I release terrible software with a license that expressly has no warranty and someone uses it, surely that's on them?
It's not obvious that putting in this legalese covers you if you otherwise promote it as working software and invite people to use it, and details would depend on jurisdiction.
I think it’s a problem, but don’t think funding is a good solution. If funding was good, then commercial products would serve the purpose.

I think a better approach is to encourage more smart developers contributing time. And if companies find an individual or a percent of a person’s time on a project that’s actually funding. But it’s very different from trying to replicate direct funds.

> Unlike grocery store rice, which just smells starchy, the Carolina Gold filled the room with a nutty, earthy aroma that had me craving white rice more than I've ever craved it before. Biting into my first spoonful, I could feel the firm texture of each and every grain in my mouth. It had the satisfying bite Shields told me about, the nuttiness, even a floral quality I hadn't quite expected. Yes, it was exactly what I wanted rice to taste like.

There are probably plenty of reasons why wealthier families attend prestigious private schools even if tuition were free, perhaps the most conspicuous being the high profile bribery scandals.
Female literacy is very strongly associated with falling birth rates. The Taliban probably knew why they wanted to keep Afghan girls illiterate (or Boko Haram in Nigeria) - more young warriors in the future.

Show HN: Check if you're vulnerable to an egregious case of log4shell
If there is one thing that really sums up the concerns about the deployment of experimental self driving technology on public roads, it is the quote that "in the future Telsa FSD will become safe enough for me" juxtaposed against the reality that pedestrians today are already forced to place their lives in its hands.
I see the argument, but I don't think driver control/supervision is actually the crux of the issue. If Firestone had a completely new tire technology that was mostly ok but had an elevated risk of spontaneously blowing out, I would not be happy if they were doing their beta testing in public roads regardless of who was driving.

The technology being tested seems half baked and not yet ready for testing on a public roads. At the very least, their approach to software updates does not seem like its being sufficiently tested before deployment. This video[1] linked in another thread is an example of what I mean.

That stuff that you've consumed wasn't free, those hobbyists paid for it out of the pocket. Sure, some can afford to do this to this day, but this doesn't scale. Nowadays internet is too populous and expectations are set too high for this to keep working.
Decred has ASICs available, and (hardware) miners are usually the largest fixed cost for miners, so Decred miners do have a fairly large interest in keeping the price high at least in the medium-term of their hardware’s lifetime. Unless other cryptos of similar size are also using BLAKE-256 as their hash algorithm.

The incentive could be as simple as ssllabs not handing out an A or A+ score if your site doesn't support encrypted hello. I've heard of several huge companies that base the security rating of their websites in part in getting a good score on the ssllabs test, so they and their vendors would need to move once the test changes.

I don't think it's healthy to rely on an arbitrary test like that for your company contracts, but it's what's happening. Once the feature is stable in server and client software, I'm sure it'll become part of the test and many big companies with complicated contracts will rush to implement it.

There are some companies that I expect will be early adopters, namely companies that are sensitive in nature. Porn, specific medical websites, you name it. With proxied DoH and encrypted SNI you can set up a connection to a website privately and securely without ever naming it in plain text. If that website runs behind a big cloud host like Cloudflare, there's no way for your ISP or any other passively spying company to know what you're up to.

The government is a very different credit risk to a student. More likely to default -> higher interest rate.

I hate to be that old foggy but, aren’t websites just getting worse and bloated with JS crap?

I’ve had a couple websites I use daily for work just get flashy new interfaces which causes 1/3 to 1/2 second delays in the interface which used to not exist, previously they just had normal page load delays.

For example, SalesForce Lightning, their UI overhaul. Old UI is mainly just flat HTML with some loading on fields. New UI doesn’t have as many page loads it seems but wherever you navigate to takes far longer to load because of api calls or just baaad JS.

Slow for the user, slow for the server. It's almost like the people who push website technology are the same one selling you servers. Hate it and want to go back.

Learning the appropriate driving style for a neighborhood / city seems like one of the easier AI problems for Tesla to solve.
Using what you know is not only valid choice and you can build a successful startup while learning at the same time [1]. Using what you know might be a valid choice when you are much more excited with the business itself rather than building the product, but I think it’s rarely the case for developers who want to try enterpreneurship.

CPU load is not CPU usage. Load is basically “number of processes waiting to be scheduled to run”. If load=cpu count then you can’t schedule more processes, your system runs at maximum capacity (although it might mean that the cores wait on some IO).

This is not clear from the footage.
CDDL wasn't deliberately designed to be incompatible with GPL - that's one person's off-hand remark at one conference. Simultaneously we know that teams that insisted against GPLv3 expected that CDDL code will be compatible with GPLv2 projects like linux.
Why would you expect men to want children more than women do, and force that choice upon them? That's not what men strive to, usually, in our experience.

Societal pressure may exist but, since society consists of men and women, you still need to explain their motivation. To me, it is a mystery-ish.
It would allow career diversification, though. Maybe there's a bit part going in Sly Stallone's 'Expendables 3194'?
I use Windows Terminal these days so I have the same copy/paste behaviour in WSL, remote SSH and cmd. Ctrl + C when highlighting text to copy, Ctrl + V to paste.
Agility has nothing to do with software quality.

Remember project management triangle: time, scope, quality.

The more time you put into development or testing, the less bugs you may find.

The less scopes you push into the application, the less bugs you may get.

In agile, you need to decide the least scope with the least time to develop an acceptable quality of working product. New changes introduce a new complexity to the software, and devs need time to formulate the right complexity. You need to make a balance between time or scope, or the complexity of the software will produce either less testable or less readable codes, which leads to more buggy app.

If the agile approach seemed to be cause of it, then the agile process must have been conducted improperly.
Who is Maurizio Morandi? He seems to have come up with a significant number of the most devious packings.
From what I remember from previous posts by dang: It's living on a single dedicated server with some hosting company (I think you can look up the IP to figure out which) - at least a while ago the code also was single-core, not sure if that is still the case. (in the past it used cloudflare for caching, but hasn't in a few years)
Cannot agree more. I have used like 20 Native UI Toolkits ( MFC,WxWidgets,QT, WinForms, WPF, VCL, Android, Jetpack, SwiftUi, GTK, and the list goes on ) i have even written one myself ( for in game uis )

I still cannot comprehed how we ended up with the shitshow that is CSS/HTML.
Even Javascript nowadays is a workable language ( or otherwise typescript ) WebAssembly is great... but the actual UI Layer with the DOM and CSS .... just a nightmare

Every time i have to work on something a bit more complex on the browser, i ponder of writing my own UI Toolkit based on Canvas/WebGL or WebGPU and just draw everything myself
Hmmm.. this seems like a very grey area in hiring practices and competition. Almost impossible to do anything about it… sucks for small companies.

Genuinely curious how common borrowing money for university is in Europe. A lot of people here in the states are under the impression - myself included - that education is more or less free of charge over there.

No, but you presented a false dichotomy.
The question is whether overall the technology makes Tesla drivers more safe. They’ve shown data that drivers with the autopilot features enabled are safer than those who do not have it on.

While you can dispute the data, it’s not as simple as “car makes one type of mistake”, “feature should be banned”.
There is no one best answer for all use cases. Pick one that you like well enough to try, add some validation code into its events, and see how it goes.

FWIW, if you are talking about thousands of rows (or millions), it would be best to paginate, filter, and search on the server, with your grid just being a rendering widget. Doing it that way also makes your grid widget fairly replaceable, so choosing one should not be a blocking decision to starting to code it up.
Have you ever tried mobaxterm? I was a putty person as well until I was put on to moba.
I'm sorry, I was really into the whole Deliberate practice thing and then I read this and thought "Oh no, did I have it all wrong?"

So I read the book he quoted - "Source of Power". And you know what? It has a tremendous overlap with Deliberate Practice.

The proponents of Deliberate Practice never claim to "just do it over and over" - you have to have background knowledge, a teacher/coach, etc... the tacit knowledge. Part of it is given to you and part of it is something that you're put into a position to experience for yourself.

It seems the "divide" is overstated.
Thats... debatable. A core principle of science is to be able to test and verify your theory. Which means it must be empirical and reproducible (if you can test then so can I, and if we have different results - then theory is wrong and needs to change, or the tests were wrong, etc). If its not - it borders belief, which is not science (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science#Verifiability ).
> if I already have a profitable mine, I doubt I'd have much incentive to invite others to share ownership of that mine

"Profit" isn't binary, it's an amount of capital that may or may not be enough to invest in things that are likely to increase your profits even more. If you need extra capital to increase your profits, would you as the owner rather wait 20 years and pay for the investments yourself, or share the profits right now and take less risk?

Shares aren't a scam, it's just a pitch for investing. It's a risk/reward presentation that investors can choose to buy if they want. When companies issue shares they're saying "we could use some more money, have a look at our business and if it makes sense, buy some". There's nothing remotely dubious about it, and there are many legitimate situations where a company requires more capital despite being profitable.
It's a page full of charts made from government data. It doesn't have any ads at all.
Right, so your solution to avoid relying on an open source library for your company's success is to use an open source adapter to rely on another open source library. It seems to the unenlightened like you're still depending on an open source library for your success, you've just changed which one?

Shuffling the deck chairs around is one solution, I suppose. If all the deck chair makers get fed up, what then?
What's Up with Blockchain Tech and Video Games?
Not everyone is optimizing for the maximum amount of dollars they can squeeze out of an hour of work. Plenty of people would be happy to make less, e.g. a dual-income couple, someone right out of college who needs resume experience, someone who's semi-retired and likes to work with kids, someone who doesn't exactly need the money but wants the benefits, and so on.

Think about what you are saying: you are impressed that a driver assistance system is almost safe enough for you to use. That is not impressive. That is Tesla failing to meet the absolute minimum bar necessary to even deploy this kind of stuff in the first place. Imagine if Ford or GM were putting out systems like this… heads would be rolling. But since it’s Elon doing it, somehow it’s okay and makes his company worth a trillion dollars. Madness.
