I had a contractor installing software last week. He was granted full sudo permissions despite having demonstrated a unique set of command line skills. Everything was going fine until I get a text from his manager saying the contractor couldn't SSH in this morning. Turns out he had gotten frustrated with some file/folder permissions in the directory where he was supposed to install the software package. So he simply ran `chmod -R 777 /*`

Needless to say that required a full restore from the previous night's backup since he hadn't snapshotted the VM before beginning his work. He was very angry that he had lost 2 days of work. I was very sympathetic...

Right. You pay 20% of the company's value to avoid some legal fees and SEC scrutiny. And then there's an average net loss for investors.
The introduction of let+ and let* made using monads fairly elegant in my opinion but this is a recent addition so you might have never seen it used. Outside of concurrent code monads are not that common in my experience.
Speaking of which, what's a reasonably cheap solution for a little 10 GBit/s home LAN (Linux)? A 4 port Microtik switch and which cards? Nothing fancy. Just something that won't bottleneck like crazy the PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 x4 lanes NVMe SSDs my machines have. I'd rather go to 10 GBit/s directly instead of 2.5 but I'll go 2.5 if it's really easier/cheaper.
> your historical observations are irrelevant for FSD beta. It's a new system

1. I find it very unlikely that Tesla completely scrapped the previous system to start from scratch for the FSD beta.
2. If they had, that would make me even more suspicious of the new system because that would mean no one would understand its weaknesses yet.

Either way, being most interested in where the previous generation system and other semiautonomous systems have historically failed makes sense.

> it works amazing without markings on the road at all.

I have yet to see any videos of the new system handling poorly marked high speed roads one way or another, but the crash where it tried to veer in to oncoming traffic doesn't provide confidence. All the unmarked/poorly marked roads I've seen so far have been low speed residential/urban, and even there performance has been unpredictable at best. Let's see it on a highway where night time rain has made the markings hard to see. Let's see it when snow covers the road and your only hing or lane

The state of the art is such that it can simultaneously be amazing and terrifying to think that normal people are allowed to "test" it wherever they feel like trying on public roads. What it does with the limited inputs it has is incredible, but at the same time it has dangerous failure modes that do not seem to be predictable even to those who use the system regularly.

My solution is to buy a reliable WiFi Access Point and plug that into the router, and just disable the router’s WiFi. That way I can choose a router for the features I need (or use a small PC if I wanted to do something tricky or needed high performance). I think that would fix the problem with the TP-Link (albeit costing far more).

I use Unifi UAP-AC-LR for the AP, because they are easy to set up from an Android phone, are not expensive, are not flakey, can be mounted in a location to optimise WiFi reception (powered from Ethernet cable by included DC injector), can be easily moved to new ISP or house, don’t require a controller, and they just keep working. Ubiquiti have made some dick moves, but their AP and point-to-point hardware has been solidly reliable and relatively simple to configure.
It's not clear to me.

I picture a bowl of rice, then oysters on top of the rice, and then tomato sauce poured on top of the oysters.

I picture a plate. On one half is oysters, the other half is rice with tomato sauce poured on it.

As someone who would never put tomato sauce on either oysters or rice, either are equally likely.

One reason acquisitions fail is the differing planning cycles of the two companies.

> I'm working on migrating our apps to the parent company's VM launching and deploy platform. Should be fairly straightforward, I think. Unfortunately, the deploy tooling isn't entirely compatible with our app so I ask the team if they can implement $X feature to support our app.

It's probably easier and quicker to change the app to work with their platform. If nothing else, it's going to be much easier to staff the project; your team knows the app.

> The first engineer I talk to doesn't even attempt to answer my question but redirects me to their manager. Ok, that's odd, I think, but whatever.

That's not an unusual response (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20070522-00/?p=26...).

> Manager says sure, just fill out this feature request doc. It's a Google Docs template with 4 (!) pages of required documentation to just explain why I want this feature implemented. It asks for my team name, the motivation, why I can't solve the problem some other way, yada yada...ok, I guess it's good to document your work, so sure. I fill it out and submit it.

This strongly suggests that ad hoc feature requests are or have been an issue for the team. It's also a good way to weed out requests that the requester isn't serious about or has an available alternative.

> No response after two days. Then I get an automated email that their skip level manager has approved the work. Huh? This is followed by an email that the team's eng manager approved the work. Why do two layers of management need to approve work on something they have no knowledge about?

These managers are running interference for their team so they can get work done.

> Finally, after many rounds of arguing about why this needs to be done in the first place (ahem: you told us to migrate to your platform, and it literally does not work for our app), they quote us a delivery timeline of end of Q1 in 2022.

Most development teams have a backlog; I'd be concerned about the work quality of one that didn't.

> At this point I am in absolute shock. This should take no more than a few days to implement.

The change might take a few days but the team already has a backlog of WIP (work in progress) (http://www.leanmanufacture.net/leanterms/wip.aspx). The time to completion is based on the other tasks in the queue. If the migration needs to happen sooner then that's between your manager and the manager of the other team.

> So I reach out to the manager and ask what is going on. This is a simple task, I said. Why does it take an entire quarter for your team to deliver? He doesn't have an answer.

Every task is simple when you aren't the one doing it.

This was a bad move tactically; calling him out is not going to get you the results you want.

> I tell him I'm happy to fix the issue myself, if they link me to the relevant codebase. "It shouldn't be too hard to dig in and submit a patch," I think to myself. He says he cannot give me access to the codebase for compliance reasons, and that only members of his team have R/W on that repo. What???

Maybe they don't want to support bespoke features for your app. You can check in the code and be done but they're stuck supporting the change forever.

Because if I already have $10,000 to put as collateral, to get a $10,000 loan to buy a $10,000 car, it means I didn't have a need for borrowing funds to begin with. I can go straight to buying the car without borrowing money. Whereas if I need to borrow the funds, I won't be able to get the loan because I don't have the 100% collateral required.
Those "rare issues" were also caused by a culture of prioritizing profit and speed of development over safety and training. More of those "rare issues" popped up months later.
In one of his books, Jared Diamond recounted how, on a research trip to New Guinea's rain-forests, he found that his native guides would not, under any circumstances, make camp under a tree. They were afraid of being crushed by falling trees in the night.

Diamond reasoned that the odds of a tree falling on you in any given night are virtually nil. The odds of a tree falling on Diamond during the few weeks he was in the field were also pretty small. However, the odds of a tree falling on somebody who camped under trees every night all their life was rather significant.

Death by coconut is similar. If you walk near coconut trees occasionally, you have nothing to worry about. You might not want to hang a hammock under a coconut tree in your backyard though.
I'm probably not going to add a whole lot more than what's already been written here, but pragmatically; if the deploy tooling isn't compatible with your app, and that tooling needs to support other apps as well, why not make changes at your end? It's a simple task right? Is it somehow enormously complex at your end?

What you should do, is realise you are no longer alone. You're not a small team at the fore-front anymore, you're part of a whole company of teams now and like it or not, these teams, whatever divisions they fall under and the company as a whole have deadlines and budgets. Someone looked at your request and plotted time. Does that not work? Find another solution. Don't complain about how its a small feature and you could fix it yourself easily, it isn't and you won't. Instead of arguing, being shocked and complaining about how insane it is, take a step back, talk to these people and try to understand how and why this company works the way it does. If after that it still doesn't work for you, you can always leave, but I'd honestly suggest you try to find a few people who can guide you around a bit instead of acting like the mistreated outsider, the only one who suffers there is you.
while the comment above is a complete lunacy, it's very easy to point out that:

* Chips need a power source. If it was easy to find one inside the human body, we wouldn't have so much hassle replacing batteries in heart pacemakers and other implants.

* Sending/receiving radio waves requires antennae of certain physical sizes. Something that can go through a needle wouldn't really make it.

Making these arguments is harder than pressing the "flag" button, but that's the only way of actually reducing the division in our society rather than furthering it.
Why are we comparing the number of deaths in a first world country (Japan) vs a third world country (India). Isn’t it obvious that poorer countries would have higher death rates? Is it really so complex?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to start a flamewar and I didn't think that posting comments was frowned upon. It's just something I'm passionate about and felt was being misconstrued by people.

Can you clarify where I broke the site guidelines? I don't believe that I've personally attacked anyone but that feels like a subjective measure so I'd like to be clear on what you consider a personal attack (in this thread specifically). I don't feel like calling someone out for mischaracterizing what I'm saying or flat-out being dishonest about what I've said is a personal attack but, if it is considered that by the admins, then I'll stop doing that. If it's something else, then I'd like to be aware of it so I can check myself in the future.

I'm reading the guidelines now and will try to take the intended spirit. I don't want to get banned but I also don't want discussion to be surface-level and I get that there's a fine line there.

Sorry again. I'll do better in the future.
I'd argue the 4th Amendment gives you a right to privacy from the government.
Yes, encryption is not banned, but e2e encryption is.

e2e encryption with a gov decryption key is not e2e.
Usually a lack of hardware acceleration support is a problem on the wired side, where a lot of consumer routers rely on NAT offload in the Ethernet switch, without which a cheap MIPS core cannot offer good WAN to LAN throughput. WiFi NICs are quite self-contained these days with their own complicated firmware, to the extent that it is often hard to move enough of the processing back to the CPU even when you want to (such as to do smarter airtime scheduling than the proprietary firmware that runs on the NIC).
But ALL-CAPS SCIENCE TERM is such a cool aesthetic, like STELLARWIND.
Forward secrecy protects against obtaining keys in the future, not against breaking the encryption.
For me personally, I'd pay $99-$149 flat plus paid updates if I liked it. But I know what they say about asking your potential customers what they're willing to pay ;)
I didn't say anything about Tesla, I dont care about Tesla. The word was "Autopilot" and the claim was that people interpret the word wrong. There is zero evidence that this is the case. I've never talked to anyone who doesn't know what the word means and no one ever expressed that it means "drives/flies without a human". Not even Tesla said that. The "Full Self-Driving Capability" that they promised and never delivered was not named "Autopilot" yet people keep bring up that "misleading" word as the reason why people crash cars. It makes no sense.
Not quite, I've learned it by looking at MDN and some other samples. Maybe I'll write up a tutorial for others.

You're presenting one way of running, "a large code base in production" as if it's the only way.

It's not.

The other way is to deploy frequently, accept some amount of bugginess, and build your systems to deal with it appropriately.

Running and maintaining a large code base is not the huge technical challenge it once was, but unfortunately the relics of the past remain, and force everyone to do things their way, lest their hard-won knowledge becomes obsolete.
Mikrotik makes a 4xSFP+ switch and Ubiquiti makes a 4x10GBase-T switch. The Mikrotik one can take SFP+ copper transceivers, so it allows you to mix and match twisted pair and fiber optics if you need it. Asus makes a pair of Aquantia (now Marvell) 10G PCIe x4 cards, one with SFP+ and the other with 1/2.5/5/10G Base-T. Other vendors have similar cards in PCIe x4 and Thunderbolt 2/3 formats.
You can install DAWN and get band-steering and controlled migration between multiple APs.

> We had set lifetime storage for 10 years, and have clarified it on our website to prevent it from being misleading.

If you say it's lifetime and then have to explain it as being 10 years, it's still misleading. Just take out the word 'lifetime'.

The chances of me trusting a technology company, especially a startup, especially especially one doing anything on blockchain, to provide a lifetime service is effectively zero. Annual pricing is fine; if you want to go crazy offer two or three years.

What's the environmental cost? Cork trees are grown, not wildcrafted. Do they use an absurd amount of water? Do they not provide habitat?

Gpg4win 4.0.0 Released
PCIe 2.0 cards (such as ConnectX 3) are $30 used on ebay.

The modern versions (ie: ConnectX 6) are much more expensive of course, but the older hardware might do better with FreeBSD / Linux anyway. Of course, your mileage may vary so do some research before buying (or buy for $30 and hope for the best).

You'll also either want Optical Transceivers + Fiber, or Active Fiber (aka: Fiber that has transceivers soldered onto them already), or DAC (direct-attach copper, the cheapest but only works over small distances).

Optical Transceivers + Fiber is the most flexible of course, different transceivers are spec'd for different wires and different costs though, so it gets a bit complicated.

Active Fiber and DACs are is probably easiest, but if you buy a 10m cable but need like 12m, you need to buy a new cable + transceiver combo (rather than just purchasing a bunch of different fiber lengths).

Length and cost is the big difference from Active Fiber and DAC, but otherwise are very similar in use. You plug the modules into the SFP+ port, hope its compatible and let them rip.

Assuming the concerns are accurate, wouldn't this have a very simple solution?

5g has a very short range, about ~1000 feet. So the solution, to be very cautious, is easy: just don't put a 5g tower within 1500-2000 feet of an airport.

That aside, I'm highly skeptical of these concerns: for years pretty much all electronics were forced to be turned off for unfounded concerns. I remember having to turn off my CD Walkman on plane. Suffice it to say that in the 90's it has no wireless capabilities of any sort at all.
