He is clearly an idiot if he can't open that front but claims he is technically skilled enough to work on HV. That doesn't work together. Either you are able to do some basic mechanical and thinking work (in which case you can easily open the front) or you can't figure it out - in which case you really should not be poking around in there.

You literally just have to remove a plastic cover. If you can't figure that out there are many youtube videos showing you how to do this. If you are too dumb to figure that out, then you shouldn't be under there.

Note that "you have to simply disconnect the battery" - is not as simple as you make it sound. I think they even pulled the window washer fluid out from under there.

Anyways, the outrage over this is totally ridiculous and folks who can't figure out how to open this hood - yes, probably idiots.

There is a new sort of thing - "learned helplessness" is maybe a good term? It's like critical thinking skills are disengaged. I'm reminded of small children who sort of flop around even when the thing they want is right there for them to grab. If folks would engage critical thinking skills a bit more I think a lot of these issues would diminish in terms of being barriers AND you might also understand why a company selling a luxury car to owners who in most cases do NONE of their own servicing might take this approach.

Yup, use mixed trails at the park. Cyclists are the worst. I actually have to stop myself from extrapolating that bias and just hating cyclists generally (most are cool).

Not only do they hog the whole road for cars, but then they want to wiz by walkers. I've been yelled at. There was almost a fight once. This boomer jerk could see me for miles ahead, but decided he didn't want to moderate his speed and yell at me instead.

Many cyclists have the attitude that they can do anything, drive at any speed anywhere, and the whole world should just move out of the way for them. It's super infuriating. I do think the park could use some bike only trails, but that's not what they went with.

Also, I repeatedly get annoying comments about walking/running on "the wrong side of the road", however that's simply good pedestrian etiquette (walkers go against the faster traffic). I do make an exception for hills, because that seems much safer; what kind of idiot crashes their bike going UP hill :)

Maybe I'm out of the loop and there's different rules at the park. I know I do listen to music constantly, which can be problematic, and am more careful now... but I see oblivious cyclists on the road all the time. It's annoying, but I never considered that I should just be able to drive however I please, run them off the road, and yell at them.

I just slow down and scoot by them when it's safe. Cyclists should do the same. Get over yourself.
None of the old Soviet states are having a good time right now. I bet no one is enjoying the situation more than Putin.
>Aren't you contracting yourself? If software is easy why do you produce a half-assed solution?

That's why it's easy. Finding a formal theory for software organization is hard so it hasn't been done yet. We make do with design patterns and many of those patterns are outright mistakes.

As it stands without "Computer scientists" establishing a formal theory on this... Software engineering is a shot in the dark and therefore easy.

>I can also build a half-assed airplane. It will crash often, not do what I wanted,

An airplane can only crash once. And when it crashes, people die. That's why no airplane is ever half-assed. Building an airplane is hard because of these requirements. Building software is easy because the requirements ALLOW for it to be half assed. Does my OS crash once a day? Still somewhat useable... Does my plane crash once a day? Holy shit.

>Edit: It would be more correct to say it like this: Creating software is hard and poorly understood at the moment. Even worse, people writing software are not trained well. But since the expectations of our customers are low (compared to the expectations we have to, for example, an airplane), the market tolerates this.

Hence why Software engineering is one of the easiest engineering disciplines out there.

>Edit 2: By the way, I agree with most of what you have written about the industry moving in circles, half-assed solutions, using patterns and frameworks without any deeper understanding. But that's actually proving that software engineering IS hard. (or maybe it's easy but nobody cares)

I would argue that this is more, computer science is hard rather than software engineering. The development of new techniques and greater understanding is the domain of science and academia. Engineering is about solving existing problems with existing techniques. Software engineering as it stands is easy.

Usually when something is targeted at beginners it was written by a beginner or intermediate person who hasn't yet realized how much better they can understand the $THING.

I think there is a cultural misapprehension of what these tidbits of knowledge we share with one another should be seen as.. It's usually framed as something the person who wrote it knows and that the person who reads it should learn.. and that's kinda what is happening, but everything I wrote after the ".." to try and pinpoint how to shift this framing is not going to get across. Maybe in a real conversation..

Loved this article, thanks for sharing!
It's a good read if only for seeing how science works, how we establish sufficient evidence to support a hypothesis and how real scientists actually change their minds when presented with sufficient evidence to the contrary of their current point of view.

Well, if instead of making a lot of effort in hiding your names you just didn't, you wouldn't use a name like that.

Every single person that connects to any of your networks (very likely the sandboxed mobile one too) can find that name. Basically no place hides it internally. There is very little difference between disclosing it to thousands of the people that care the most about you and disclosing it to everybody on the world.

The construction presented uses modern design elements that are barely 50 years old. While surely sturdy, it's still speculative. Europe has loads of original construction from the 11th and 12th century, offering valid and proven examples to study.
You are probably in the minority. The two largest groups that together seem to form the vast majority are those who abhor this behaviour and don't do it themselves, and those who know that they shouldn't do this, welcome people being fined for it, know that it is a cause of a lot of unnecessary hardship, enjoy watching this guy's Youtube channel, and yet can't actually resist grabbing their smartphone when it plings despite being in the driver's seat. It's a global dopamine addiction.

It's one thing to recognize two words have the same root, and mean the same thing, and something completely different to take a letter from one and stick it in the middle of the other one where it is never pronounced.

It's the same thing as debt and doubt. And, now there are people trying to pronounce that letter just because they see it in the word.
Reducing points of failure in general is a good idea too. Single points of failure are especially bad, but most major errors are the confluence of multiple things going wrong that while alone would be bad, but together make for an absolute disaster.

I think for the first case there is a ‘wrap in if-else’ refactoring in Webstorm/Intellij, but I rarely use it.

My blind spot indicator in my car has 100% prevented me from merging when I shouldn't, though I can't say with certainty how often. I'm a little embarrassed to say, too, that I've been honked at in the past for merging when I shouldn't. I think twice in 20 years, but still. I have no reason to think those incidents couldn't have been severe.

No one is 100% sure what's surrounding them at any time, plain and simple.

This is one argument I see for autonomous driving which actually seems valid to me. Those vehicles will be able to see far more than a human facing forward with a few mirrors. At the moment I think the problem is that the human can make far more sense from what they see, though.

Jef Raskin in The Humane Interface complained about that very problem.

He designed a whole user interaction paradigm to solve it, so that the system would always be in a state where your typed text would be registered, right there.

It goes well with the aphorism and commandment that "user input is sacred", which all current user interfaces disregard big time.

There is no better way to scare away customers than to provide them with even less control over what is theirs, especially with something as personal as over who rents out their homes. It takes gall and hopefully this encourages more competitors to enter the market - seeing that AirBNB doesn’t have the greatest reputation as it is anyway.

The more you hide information from someone, the more their red flags start going up. Many people are already wary of using AirBNB as a property owner, but now? “You will rent to who we say you rent to and you have little to no say in it even though it’s your own.” No thanks.

I've only once used metaclasses but I think it was pretty nifty. The use case was with Python and Gtk+ (both version 2), if you had your UI in a glade file you could define a corresponding class, and it would automatically create members for all your named widgets. It made it a bit like coding in VB:

class MainWindow(gtk.Window):
__metaclass__ = MetaDescribedUI("MainWindow.ui")

def __init__(self):
# now you can use e.g. self.lvFiles or self.btnOK
pass

Although writing it now I could probably do it differently without metaclasses.
I used to cycle all the time, and the only times a stationary car endangered me was when the driver failed to check before opening their door. That's my problem here - this guy isn't catching drivers on phones while moving.
They make "slick" versions of their bags without the molle strips, but the 1000D or 500D fabric is overkill for most. The one external pocket can be hard to dig into if the bag is packed full.
I feel like the two different definitions of "imply" (formal vs colloquial) make "correlation doesn't imply causation" simultaneously true and false. On one hand, correlation doesn't necessarily demonstrate causation, but on the other hand (like the comment says) it does suggest fertile ground for research.
The irrationality comes from the fact that I end up with exactly the same text file no matter what. My edit path (directed graph of atomic edits that arrive at the new file) can go many ways to the same result, but I find myself hating one path, and liking another. Even in the "good" path results in more keystrokes during editing. When I save my changes to git or svn or whatever, the new file will be the same regardless of edit path taken to create it. But during the editing operations, I had a nagging pull to make sure the characters I changed were from the copy.
I am not sure why this is downvoted, because this is what happened in Iran, the islamists took advantage of the 1979's revolution.
However you put it, [to a classical observer] the wave function still "collapses" after a measurement. This is most famously seen by adding a detector inside one of the slits for the double-slit experiment: the original wave function is not consistent with the experiment, you have to update the wave function after the interaction (or lack of interaction) with the detector.

Sure, in MWI the wave function of the universe never collapses, but something similar still happens for "parts" of the universal wave function.

That's great to hear! I'd only heard secondhand, so I updated my comment to reflect this detail.

Also I found https://bettertls.com publishes details about which TLS features are supported on different platforms over time, and it appears that the latest test in Dec 2021 shows most platforms support name constraints.

With that roadblock evaporated, I think this would be the perfect solution to a lot of organization- and homelab-level certificate woes. I'd really like to hear from a domain expert on how feasible it would be to automate for free public certs, ACME-style.
He can figure out how to open it. That's not the issue. The issue is the car telling that you're not allowed to do it that's the issue. I can't think of a car telling me that I don't have the permission to repair it before.

As far as disconnecting the battery, I agree that on many EVs it's needlessly complicated to know that the HV circuit is de-energized and to put it in that state. That's the fault of the manufacturer, and it shouldn't be acceptable.
What is behind your thinking that plastic won’t last? Plastic is estimated to take 1000 years to decompose in landfills. Obviously it did not exist millennia ago, but I wouldn’t write it off as not future proof.

>So yes, I would love to live in a world where people got tickets for jaywalking on an empty street. Because that would encourage us all to respect laws, and would also encourage reform of laws that aren't working.

I'd love to live in that world. Because that world would exist for a week at best before jaywalking stopped be a crime, speed limits went up by 20 across the board and stop lights and signs gained all sorts of complex rules allowing drivers and cyclists to not actually stop in many cases (and all sorts of other laws regarding other issues would be revised similarly). The laws would be changed to reflect how people actually live and that would make dolts who conflate legality with morality a much smaller problem for society. We have procedural mechanisms to make it harder silly laws from being passed. Authoritarians are far less of a danger to people when they have to force their shenanigans through those processes than they are when they simply need to convince enforcement to target this or that issue.
Yeah, they should call it PS Virtua and rerelease Virtua Fighter.
Kurs interface is a list of values that you want all to move towards zero, it gives me an `int axes[] // x,y,z,Rx,Ry,Rz`. In SpaceX interface I'd have to `for axis in axes: axis_value = getObjectLocation(axis, screen).getValue()` and that's a ton of overhead.
It's rare to find people reifying these subtle subjective aspects of UI design so clearly. Transience is a deep problem in UI design. Everything from accidentally kicking out the cord and losing your (unsaved) work, to accidentally copying a selection and clobbering the previous contents of the clipboard (that you still also want to paste again too.) Modal dialogs, modes in general, un-undoable changes of all kinds. It's kind of like our UIs are video games in the sense that they are harder to use than they should be. Video games have to have some sort of challenge or they get boring, eh?
> One-bagging is also a poor choice for business travel, since you likely want a smaller computer bag so you don't have to use your much larger "one bag" as your office bag.

I just keep a very small shoulder bag inside my one-bag that fits my Macbook and acts as a walk-around. In travel mode, it's used to compartmentalize. Likewise, my wife has a small ~15L daypack inside her one-bag that is empty and rolled-up in travel mode.

No wheels is also great for sprinting to be the first to the border patrol line :D
AWS Lambda Powertools for TypeScript (Beta release)
Alternative if you're flying: two bags:

1) A small backpack for anything fragile that goes under the seat in front of you.

2) A SOFT sided duffel for your clothes. Take than m-f'er and cram it into the overhead bin. It'll fit in the smallest crevice between two rollaboards with enough force.

For minimum clothing volume, pack one set of outer garments (optional if you're wearing them on the flight, which I presume you are. Maybe throw a jacket in instead if you need it) and a daily change of socks and undergarments.

Jeans and a fleece and n days worth of undergarments and socks is super efficient. If you can get away with wearing sandals, you need only one pair of socks (for airport security. I have no desire to go barefoot in the airport).

Edited to add: undergarments meaning something for your bottom half and a t-shirt you can wear without something over it. And bras if you wear them, obviously.

Actually, if you're going to a conference and feel sporting, skip the T-shirts and trust you can get them as swag as needed.
Thanks.

I've been reading about innumeracy and lame press coverage my entire adult life. Ditto how to lie with stats, charts, maps.

Clearly, shaming and scolding from the sidelines hasn't compelled anyone to improve.

It's almost as though there's another force at work, silently undermining reason, relentlessly overwhelming rational discourse. Like some nefarious hidden incentive structures which reward attention getting over honest discourse. But every time I've broached the topic, I get ridiculed. (One actual quote is "sweaty, paranoid kook". True story.)

Since I just yell at the TV and shriek at the newspaper, which helps no one, I've mostly opted out.

I'm eager for any and all notions, no matter how blue sky, for how to do better. Because I'm completely fresh out of ideas. And exhausted.
Looking at the demand side, I feel that there are not that many new jobs created, not even by a long shot. So mostly everyone is shuffling their chairs, and getting a raise. Employers lose here.

If I am right, I'm curious to know why this is happening now. The pandemic should have something to say: people would prefer remote jobs now that most companies have been forced to allow for that job model. But is this enough?
In my opinion, as someone who worked a short time in perl, perl is so much harder to learn, especially comming from other programing languages (which most data scientists learn if they started from a degree in computer science/engineering)

One of the main issues I have with perl is the `there is more than one way to do it` slogan, which, for me, means that each person what writes perl, writes practically a different language. This make the bar of starting a new project much higher, even if you have use perl before.
Yeah; I never learned to solve rubicks cubes for exactly that reason - what’s the point of memorising a solved algorithm that only works on this one problem anyway?

But plenty of algorithmic ideas are broadly applicable and useful. Eg, b-trees, bloom filters and priority queues have some wild uses across a host of problems. Those tools strike my fancy.
