> If programmers writes that check, yes. Same applies to a unit test. C++ compiler gonna verify that thing automatically, no extra work required, neither initially, not over the lifetime of the project.

Yes. Programmers have to write these checks, that's all about what a well structured and maintained codebase is about. They have to write many checks no matter what the language, because missing initializers is one tiny little aspect of things you might want to check for.

> I prefer when a freshly cloned repository builds without any extra tools on a freshly installed computer, with either F7 in the correct version of Visual Studio, or something like cmake ../ && make in Linux shell, after installing the required dependencies from the official package repository of that Linux. In my experience, custom tools are often a pain in the long run.

I didn't suggest otherwise, I was talking about editing and searching scripts and commands.

> The paradigm is orthogonal to programming languages.

Right, C can do it. As I said in the beginning, I don't like the OOP features of C++ because they're clunky inflexible and hardly any benefit in terms of easier syntax.

> I think OOP is merely a high-level design pattern where objects keeping their private state only accessible/modifiable by calling methods of these objects.

No "OOP" is definitely considered to be language features too.
Tesla finances and number of EV produced have already proven everything that needed to be proven.

Unless you want to argue this recall is gone have some massive impact on their finances its pretty much non issue. And arguing that would of course be nonsense.
Oh I see, well, I got EE perf review, and my TC increased -2.0% taking inflation into account. So don't worry too much. I would try to figure out if is you, and improve, or if is the environment you work on, and start interviewing right away.
This is a good question, and one that I've been thinking a lot about as well. I think the problem is that

A) there's a LOT more people using computers now than ever before, and

B) the entry point into "computing" has lowered, which means that users come to a piece of software with a wide range of expectations of both what it should do, and how it should do it, and

C) the complexity matrix of the form factors that people expect to use software has also grown in size, and

D) software grows in complexity in response to the needs of the users (B) and the devices it runs on (C)

E) tack onto the above is that you really have to handle N+10 things nowadays to have a proper piece of software (ie. i10n, security, UX, performance, etc.)

It's a bit of a cop out to just blame complexity, but it's almost impossible to have a small team write a (sufficiently complicated) program that does all the above, but companies want single-software solutions (runs on everything for everyone from new users to veterans) and users also expect it. So as a result, developers are overworked, users complain the software doesn't do what they expect (often for good reasons), and devs often end up resenting users because despite their best intentions, it's simply not possible (a lot of the time) to make something that satisfies everyone.
Also, caching pages that shouldn't be cached.

Because there are lots of things the Tesla does that nothing else does in the same way, or the overall package of other vehicles (price, features, functionality, intangibles, whatever) doesn't match for that particular buyer.

I'm constantly amazed that otherwise intelligent people latch on to a single "factual" reason that proves they must be correct about a matter of opinion, particularly when their experience set is often objectively less relevant. To wit: presumably the parent has owned numerous other cars in addition to the Teslas.
Yikes, the guy has reached the pinnacle of success and then had his fall from grace by age 35. Wonder what the rest of his life will be like.

Hammerspoon has been really helpful in tiling windows with my keyboard and adding keybings like "jump to application". Also, there are a lot of useful plugins that add even more functionality like a fuzzy searchable clipboard history.
In the most recent case, I was actually hired as a non-coding high level tech consultant, to help hire and oversee a tech team, at a very chaotic but fast growing startup. For various reasons, we had to go most of 6 months with only 1 hire, when we had initially planned to hire 10 engineers. So I was forced to step in and start coding, because the team was desperately short of coding talent.

The startup is hopefully going to hire a real teach team early next year.

My typical consulting is something I talk about here:

If human rights are fundamental consequences of human nature, is there some way to list them?

It seems to me the whole notion is a valuable but entirely human construction, ripe for debate about what counts and what does not.
It depends. If you need a major part of the body replaces, delays can be long. However, many repairs that the mobile service can do are much better.
I buy Huawei, at least the money goes to people who have half a stake at making conditions better (but just half, let's not kid ourselves).
I have the shots. People who don’t are being either political or dogmatic or whatever and a few have legit reasons. But They aren’t the only ones whose beliefs are affected by politics where politics should not be part of the equation. This is an example to show its very political on both sides.
Better question, why not use whatever hash is fastest on the system in question? We're talking about a RNG here -- it's not like we need to make sure that two different systems produce the same random numbers!
True. The curse of familiarity. I love Ruby though, in its own right. Even though I dream of simpler and more predictable virtues.
I cede the point. It's incredibly frustrating because the harm done is minuscule in comparison to the unsafe business practices exposed. The toxic data hoarder will skate, the messenger will be shot, and the public will continue to be victimized by black hats exploiting toxic data stockpiles.
RISC-V appears to be implementing vector in preference to SIMD.

Vector math units don't seem to be a fad from the age of Cray, and the RISC-V criticism appears to be that SIMD is too much of a niche specialization for a general purpose processor.

> They are. They are held to higher standards than any of their conpetitors.

Are they, though?

I don't see people claiming that "crowded dorms without flush toilets and food sometimes crawling with worms" is totally fine if the plant makes Samsung or off-brand smartphones. What I'm seeing is a luxury brand on the defensive because their customer base learned that the workers making Apple's luxury products not only have been enduring "crowded dorms without flush toilets and food sometimes crawling with worms" but also tainted food that causes mass health issues.

What really boggles the mind is that these sub-human working conditions seem to cause downtime in their plants, which ultimately means it costs them money. But somehow even that is not enough to convince them to treat workers as if they are human beings.

I recently went back to Linux after using MacOS for seemingly ever.

I’m on Ubuntu LTS with ZFS and i3 and while I miss the amazing hardware of my 2020 MacBook (non M1) I just love the flexibility of the Linux setup: package management is a first class thing, containers are too; Magnet was nice but it’s no i3. And overall things just work which is really nice.

I do miss airdrop and access to messages and other aspects of the apple ecosystem that I enjoy from lock-in but I’m happy for now and going to keep at it.
Most high security and high value websites, like cryptocurrency exchanges, do. There is less risk of being SIM swapped and attacked on low value website, as there is nothing for criminals to gain.
This sounds like parts of the US has a problem with checks and a lack of good, digital bank services.

I can transfer money and pay my bills with my phone. I can even transfer money to people not having the same bank as I have. I did it today, it took 30s or so and the recipient could immediately see the money on her phone. Where I live we also tend to use cards a LOT. I can pay in almost any store with my debit card and the money is drawn from my bank account right away. It was decades since I've saw a check.

Not just SUVs. The visibility out of the rear of my Model 3 is almost as bad as the rear of my BMW X5 SUV. The trunk is so high, you cannot see the headlights of a following passenger car until it's some distance behind.

It's not just Tesla, visibility across all cars is getting worse over time, as manufacturers are pushed by crash test standards to improve performance in a crash against another vehicle or stationary object, to the detriment of the ability to avoid a crash (visibility, weight/handling, etc), and at the cost of humans and animals NOT in a big heavy motorized box.
I also do something similar and it's great for me.

I download a few (10 at most) articles a day with MarkDownload and create an ePub.

I either read them on a reMarkable during daytime or a Kobo HD if in bed (I prefer the backlight to an actual light on eInk).

What I like is the artifical limit on the amount to read. It stops me engaging in the infinite scroll trap of tablets and I find reading on a eInk quite relaxing, unlike other displays.
It's prudent to decline a gift if one doesn't really have the circumstance to accept it responsibly. As in the case of a puppy. Or an offered position. (Eg. if someone shows up at your doorstep and gifts you a military rank and accepting that would make people to expect you to go and lead them in battle.)

But a car is not a liability. They can sell it. It won't "go bad like a puppy" if it just sits in a garage.

Ocado was originally an AutoStore client and then copied AutoStore's warehouse automation solution.

Based on the timeline of events, they basically copied AutoStore. I'm actually curious what the next lawsuits will bring, but i don't think it's going to be in favor for Ocado.

There was already a preliminary result and while Ocado says it's a win, i think that's a deceiving statement if you actually care to read it.

> The Norwegian company claimed in U.S. filings that Ocado infringed four patents for the robotic systems. The judge found that, while Ocado used technology covered by three of the patents, those claims failed to fulfill requirements of clearly describing the invention in a way that others can understand.

We'll see how it goes.
>Maybe because they don't apply?

And why didn't they apply? Software is one of the best careers in the world. Maybe they are getting lost along the way earlier in the pipeline because tech is pseudonomyous with the the kind of people who like to talk about things like DeepCreamPy. Maybe they walk into that freshman CS class and see 30 other dudes that fit this profile and give them creepy unwanted attention and they drop it and switch to biology. There's a serious "dudes club" problem with this industry and this just feels like an expression of that.
No it doesn't. It's academic research and not actual malware. Technique is also useless.
Seemed less like Idiocracy (smart comedy pointing out a real issue in a funny way) and much more like Dr Strangelove - a nihilistic crazy comedy showing how the way the system is setup is dooming us all.

The main difference from both is that Don’t Look Up is completely implausible. Also, it isn’t very funny. But I guess people are eager to overlook that if it validates their political biases.

Anyway, since Idiocracy couldn’t be made today due to the PC crowd yelling "eugenics", it is in a way a modern replacement, made straight for the woke crowd with pronouns in their Twitter bio.
The industry term is "mobile manipulator". For example the Google X robot for Everyday Robots, which I helped work on for a while, is such a robot.

This seems like BS unless you just an extreme outlier among extreme. Tesla Quality problems were never with their battery or impact safety. In fact the rank best in class in pretty much ever safety rating in pretty much every country.

I have been following Tesla for a long time and every single 'Tesla catches on fire for no reason' story turned out to be non-sense.

A Tesla catching on fire 'spontaneously' would have made some news and 3 would for sure. Please show sources where and when this happened.

And there are plenty of incidents where parked gas cars catch fire, there have been recalls about that.

> And I don't understand how does LN centralize the chain.

It takes transactions temporarily off-chain making them more vulnerable to attack. Lightning Network is a system where the blockchain congestion is eased up by doing fewer things directly on the chain. It's also had a nontrivial number of privacy issues, some of them solvable but at least a few only solvable by expecting people to make lots of pools, which drives up transaction cost again, which kind of defeats the point. That decreased privacy guarantee feeds into fears about centralization and censorship.

The irony behind all of this is that systems like Lightning and even Bitcoin itself are kind of ripe for censorship. The blockchain maintains your entire transaction history immutably in public, and the only thing protecting you from having all of that leaked is if you use pseudonyms or mixers (again, increasing transaction fees and congestion) to transact on it. But then when you start reporting that stuff on taxes... it just becomes way easier than it should be to track people.

This is also something coming up a lot with NFTs, it turns out that censorship and centralization is about more than where your database gets stored, it's also about which exchanges will work with you and who will haul you into court.

> So they are beneficial only to a subset of artists, not all of them. I can live with that.

Right, but I think the point is still that the rest of us aren't fine with y'all spending the equivalent of an entire worldwide entertainment industry's worth of power just to benefit an extremely tiny subset of the population, and that we see that as a very different outcome from decentralized finance.

You can bring up Bitcoin's benefits if you want, but it's not being used as a currency though by most people. It's not a financial system, it's a decentralized asset that people are speculating about. And maybe that is subjectively valuable to you, but it's not serving as a currency for most people, and maybe it's not good for a tiny subgroup to argue that their interests should be given equal resource budgets to activities that are accessible and useful to the majority of the world?

If the majority of the world was using Bitcoin, we might be having a different conversation, and we could potentially argue about whether the benefits of a decentralized financial system outweigh the downsides. But you don't have a dencentralized financial system, you have a set of assets that are being taxed as assets by the IRS, and that aren't really benefiting most of the world outside of some speculators.
I’d be curious to see this, could you link to some examples? Cheers.
Comments like that make Libertarianism a disgrace.

Libertarianism is an attractive framework for initial thinking, but if you think anythign through, you wind up re-inventing something like the systems we have. What's left are the people who refuse to think it through because they are too attached to the "philosophy" that justifies them acting like an entitled ass in the name of "individual liberty". The result is comments like this.

Amethyst has some quirks, and you need to restart it at least once a day. But releases are fairly frequent and I use it daily. I really like it. I've been using alacritty with tmux because I don't need all the bells and whistles in iterm2. macos mostly has bsd versions of command line tools which tend to lack a lot of features, so `brew install coreutils gsed` gives you sane versions of these tools at the cost of having to prefix everything with `g`. But good enough.
There was a big blue Yaskawa robot arm sitting in the entry hall in Google X for a while that they used to do this kind of thing with some years ago.

Glad to see it is finally going somewhere, it seemed like a neat system.

The essay is definitely resonates with me in so many ways, and the whole idea of foundations as a charity structure not a development/company structure was both new and quite profound.

Software is everywhere. A 5 USD gadget dies because the software is shit? Nobody cares. (The ewaste is bad still.) An 1 USD app has bugs? Meh.

We have liability regulations for the actual things that use software. (And in some cases too much and in some cases too little. See healthcare, medical devices, FDA on one end, and Boeing and the MCAS fuckup on the other end.)

One reason Amazon got sooo big is that they do have a consumer protection regulation. (The return everything no questions asked policy. Of course they also have a fucking big problem with scams, and they are too hostile with merchants, because they are a fucking de facto monopoly, and are not forced to work much on those problems or "metrics".)
