He then goes on to list all the hours of other stuff he does.

So it sounds like his main point is that he doesn’t spend 40 hours per week on pure “hard thinky work”.

I don’t see why that matters. All the other inter-personal and logistical work is also work.

More importantly, he doesn’t mention any of the time outside of work that he spends mulling things over in the back of his mind. That’s also work.
Munro praised the heat pump design in newer Model 3/Ys which are now failing at pretty high rates in dangerously cold conditions. I don't doubt that the design is very clever and efficient, but I wouldn't take Munro's approval as an indication of how reliable a design will be into the future and in extreme (i.e. non-Californian) conditions.

NAT sucks but is harder to misconfigure.

I’ve never accidentally let something through NAT.

But accidentally not configuring a firewall? Everyone does that and has done that and will forever do it.
Gosh, if it's that easy, why hasn't it happened already?

The truth is that's very hard. And if we can't measure it, it's impossible to tell which bias-reducing interventions work.

I get why white people, of which I am one, want to just ignore the problem and hope it goes away. But if there's anything that history demonstrates, it's that sustained power differentials don't just go away on their own. In the US, that's what both our Revolutionary War and our Civil War were about, as well as our civil rights movement. And things like the First Nadir and the Second Nadir show that even hard-won victories like those don't last without upkeep.
I thoroughly enjoyed both, each for what it is.
It's extremely funny how a network with NAT needs hole punching in the firewall and network without NAT sudenly doesn't have firewall at all. Like OK, in 1995 a router would have been a dedicated machine or appliance, but since 2005 anyone can buy a sub $30 device which routes, firewalls, provides a bunch a of (unnecessary) services... but suddenly incapable of firewalling if IPv6 is involved.

It was a long time coming. My stint as a manager helped me to make some great relationships, and I know that I helped a lot of other ICs have great careers, and great personal lives. None of us got rich, and there wasn't a whole lot of crazy (until the last couple of years, when we worked with an American startup, and I couldn't shield my team from the dysfunction).

One of my dreams, was to be in a place, where I could create and craft my own work, without having others take steamers onto it. It's personally gratifying, to know that all the "I could do this better if..." stuff was absolutely right.

These days, I have to keep the scope small, and, still, no one is getting rich, but I am pretty chuffed with what I'm doing.

Can't put a price on that.
That's what surprised me the most in this report - Dacias have a great reputation for reliability! They've got the benefit of 10 years' hindsight on the Renault parts bin.

OK, you're really not making much sense. I mentioned exoplanets because that was a (barely) plausible interpretation of something that was a "hot field in modern astronomy but was barely a thing when JWST began", since the preliminary studies for JWST did happen in the mid-1990s, when exoplanets were first beginning to be found. The actual serious design work, though, was in the early 2000s, when exoplanets were definitely a hot topic.

But if what you really mean is "within the solar system" (which, um, excludes "Tabby's star"), well... "barely a thing when JWST began" is complete nonsense. I mean, studying things within the solar system is something astronomy has been doing for literally thousands of years. (And, no, it hasn't suddenly become "the hot field" in any sense, leaving aside the point that there are multiple things that might be considered "hot fields" at the moment, and that there's never a single "hot field" anyway.)

JWST is perfectly useful for solar-system science: there are about 22 approved Cycle 1 General Observer proposals in that field, including one specifically meant for any "interstellar object" (like 1I/'Oumuamua or 2I/Borisov) that might show up during the first year: https://www.stsci.edu/jwst/phase2-public/2337.pdf

And the second-largest set of Guaranteed Time Observation proposals (proposals from "scientists who helped develop the key hardware and software components or technical and inter-disciplinary knowledge for the observatory"), after "Extra-solar Planets", is "Solar System":

I think "this is the weird phenotype/culture hybrid people treat this person and their family as" is a less backward approach than "here's some pseudoscience to try to disprove that Jews and Aryan ubermenschen are of intermixed ancestry and actually pretty difficult to distinguish physiologically [at least without looking for specific genetic markers we fortunately haven't the technology to identify]", even before we get onto the why is this being looked into question.

Conceding a socially significant category isn't actually very analytically rigorous and might as well be treated as just a label shows more thoughtfulness than inventing a lot of nonsense to try to give it the appearance of rigour.

>The preponderance of evidence favors the idea that Tesla will shrink and the other companies will grow, in the electric market.

Then where the fuck are they? Because Tesla's right here. I've had two Teslas in my garage for the past five years. About once a month I take a look at the latest EVs coming out, looking for something that compares to what Tesla is offers. Fucking nothing. Slow acceleration, dated infotainment, slow charging, shitty range, ugly as fuck, or have never shipped a car at volume. Often a combination of several of these.

I'm a simple man. I want something that goes fast, charges fast, has a big battery and looks cool. Nobody has all of these except Tesla, because those other companies are run by old fucks who think pumping out the same car with marginally different styling, a computer from 2005 and the rechargeable battery from the RC car I got for Christmas in 6th grade is what people want. Or maybe that's all they can muster, I don't know, but the bottom line is that everyone else's EVs suck ass.

I'm not a Tesla cheerleader. I hope the legacy carmakers get their act together. But I'm not hopeful. I've been disappointed too many times by these bullshit "concept" cars they trot out at car shows and then implement precisely none of the things that made that concept cool.

As for the quality issues? I have two Teslas in my garage. I'm rich. When one is in the shop, I just drive the other. It's not that hard.
There is also a trick to compile your own program without optimizations, but optimize all dependencies.

I too had the "Un-optimized Rust code is slow!" experience when I started out, because my first project required PNG encoding and decoding, and the png crate was incredibly slow without optimizations.

But it's typical for C and C++ to be un-optimized at the level of `main`, but calling into heavily-optimized system libraries like ffmpeg.

Your TTFB is pretty darn high for some reason, maybe a server side caching issue? Loading should be effectively instant otherwise, good job getting all critical assets inlined.

You could also mark the company images as `loading="lazy"` – though you may intentionally be eagerly loading all of those now.
That's exactly what it is. There is always a proxy, which negates part of the argument, but is a very useful tool in transitioning over the next 2 other decades at least... the way this is going.

Then one would think someone else has exploited such an obvious(?) market opportunity. (BTW, I deliberately didn't write "with a T-branch for the audio jack" or similar, because the stem of the T should obviously be the male USB-C going up into the phone, so the audio and the incoming USB-C go out to the sides. Then you can still stand the phone upright on top of them.)
Re: why Postgres, two common answers:

1. For anyone whose stack is currently a simple three-tier architecture that currently has Postgres and nothing else in the DB tier, adding anything else would incur 100+% operational complexification (e.g. now you have to figure out how to do backups for two stateful components.) Far more than 100%, even, if they get the Postgres DB "for free" as part of a virtual LAMP-stack appliance, or built into the base offering of some PaaS service, and currently don't need to do any ops work as the framework/platform handles their DB's care and feeding for them. (Ideally, such setups would do the same with a built-in MQ as well — but sadly, that's much rarer.)

2. You can be clever with a job queue that’s in your DB, by making “taking the job” and “doing the queries that comprise the job” part of the same atomic transaction, such that a ROLLBACK due to a constraint validation error in "the queries that comprise the job" will also implicitly “put back” the job immediately (even if the worker crashed in response to seeing the error.)
> Tesla, the stock, is currently priced as if it will never face competition.

That is completely false. Have you actually looked at the annalists who cover Tesla? Every single one includes a huge amount of completion coming online.

Have ever even looked at those models? Can you sight what models you are basing your 'analysis' on and can you explain what they are getting wrong.

> The fact is that the market will soon be flooded with excellent electric cars from Toyota, Mercedes, BMW and more.

'flooded' is a nice and vague and meaningless concept. We actually have a understanding of how much lithium there is and will be for the next few years. The ramp up continues to follow typical trends.

You wont magically have a 15x increase in EV sales, no matter if every OEM announces 500 new models over the next 5 years.

People predicted the same thing literally every year since 2016. I remember last year, people were all about how VW is gone leave Tesla in the dust and how VW can just spit out millions of EV. Because they know how to make cars and Tesla doesn't.

But even VW, it actually took quite a few years and huge investment are still around 450k BEV globally. Tesla added around 450k BEV this year.

All those companies you mention will fact the same issues that VW did. They want magically just 5x their BEV production in a year. Its just not in the cards (unless maybe you are starting from a tiny base of a few cars like Toyota) if you understand the battery and battery materials industry.

Your analysis also contradicts even the CEO of VW who said that catching Tesla in BEV sales by 2025 will be very difficult for them. And VW is a few years into this, Toyota has barley even started.

> And this is in the year 2022. It's only going to get worse and worse from here on out, as the big companies bring their whole networks to bear. Even

Yeah so bad for Tesla that they are gone make all the profits from car servicing and that they can gain all the profits from raising prices rather then the dealers absorbing that margin. I sure Tesla hates that.

> The preponderance of evidence favors the idea that Tesla will shrink and the other companies will grow, in the electric market.

Please show some of that evidence. Because the actual real existing evidence is that Tesla has been growing incredibly fast. Tesla own guidance, expectation by analysts and various demand estimations is that Tesla will continue to grow at similar speeds in 2022.

Tesla has 2 new huge factories coming online right now. So in your estimation despite 2 new production facilities they will sell less cars in the future? When will this happen in your opinion. Please tell me how many cars you assume they will produce in 2023 and then you can honestly go back an check if you were right.

How accurate were your predictions about Tesla over the last 5 years? Did you expect them to grow as they did? If not, have you changed any of your opinions?
> I'm sure your direct reports have a lot of opinions on that setup that they'll never reveal.

That struct wouldn't actually have been in the original game. The idiomatic C analogue would be static variables inside functions, or (occasionally) global variables, but that wouldn't make it a memory-accurate reimplementation.

I think the game code proper starts around line 670, but still, there's quite a lot of emulator code interspersed with the game logic after that point. (Multiple-line functions for something that would've been a single memory read in the original game.)
Well that got them to the market leader position in EVs with a trillion dollar market cap, so it's been a good strategy so far.

That doesn't add up. No one pays for a full inspection and TÜV on top because no one expects a 3 year old car to fail it. It's not just slightly inflated either, 10% is twice of the average and the problems seem concentrated around suspension, a part that isn't expected to fail until much, much later in the car lifecycle - hardly the result of average wear and tear.

> This will be a contested opinion, but I believe full anonymity allows people to become the worst version of themselves.

> On a higher level pov, anonymity allows some of the most toxic and damaging ideas to brew and fester.

You mention Twitter, but haven’t mentioned Facebook. That anonymity makes people to become or expose the worst version of themselves — or that anonymity allows some of the most toxic and damaging ideas to brew and fester — isn’t necessarily completely true. On Facebook, people use their real names, post personal photos (including participation in local events), their location, etc., and there’s still a huge amount of toxic ideas from these same non-anonymous people that brew there and are allowed to (because that makes the company more money).

I don’t disagree that anonymity allows people to be more honest in expressing themselves without filters. It’s one of the best things that happened with the Internet. But completely banning or not allowing anonymity isn’t the solution that some may immediately reach out for when faced with some social problems. Usually the people who dislike anonymity and want to eliminate it (I’m not saying it’s you) are those in power or want to be in power. And they don’t like it when people can organize outside their surveillance view.

My kid had a "computer science" class in 9th grade. They covered bits and bytes, discussed what files are, and then talked in the abstract about data compression so they know at a basic level why a wave file is so much bigger than mp3. They did get to some coding, but they covered a lot of basics that form the trunk of the tree. Most adults don't understand things in that way.

It's like teaching biology so people have a rudimentary idea of viruses and don't think vaccines have 5g tracking. Or so teenagers understand reproduction and don't think ridiculous things about how one gets pregnant.

Or how about chemistry, so people understand why con-trails form.

Some feedback from our transition:

- automated tests are the pre-req of feature flags. kindly make sure that you have good test coverage. otherwise the team loses confidence in code & feature flags which defeats the whole purpose.

- as part of code review guidelines we added one major feedback item: can this PR be merged right now? why not? what can be done to merge it right away? as part of a cultural shift the code reviewers played a critical role. they kept engineers on the their toes at all times.

- feature flags should be part of user stories. in many cases you can't expect engineers to add a feature flag at the end of implementation. the product team should know this at the time of writing user stories.

- as mentioned in many other comments try to clean up code after feature flags become stale. otherwise the code (and respective automated test cases) becomes a huge mess.

- in our case we decided the granularity of feature flags (per-user, per-customer, per-region, per-server etc). we started with per-customer and went from there. worked out fine for us.

- feature flags have major two benefits: "release often, release small" & "decouple releases with big launches". please make sure to instill this in your team every day. mindset changes takes repetition and emphasis. if at anytime you feel that you are not achieving any of these please take a step back and figure out why.
