Has anyone in this thread who is commenting to hate on Hotz/Comma tried the product or even watched a video of it? I have their device in my car, and I love it. Lots of people in here saying this is doomed to fail and that e2e won’t work seem to not realize that Comma has pretty much already succeeded. Their e2e lateral policy is fantastic, and e2e longitudinal is shipping this year probably. They livestream demos on YouTube and it looks like e2e longitudinal is coming along nicely, here’s a stream from 3 months ago: https://youtu.be/wHoLW9WXOy8
It was well worth it 10 years ago. My extended family almost solely decided to switch to Apple because grandparents who did not speak English and grew up in a poor developing country could all use FaceTime on iPad minis, but no one could figure out how to use Hangouts/Skype/etc.
As a former small-time webhoster, I ran PHP because it was the easiest to run, but that doesn't mean it was the best app platform or the easiest to develop with. Making Ruby or Python or Java hosting was out of reach back then (without Docker and other niceties of today).

This laugh made my morning, thank you. That would have been a pleasure to watch. I in fact agree with Dennet's self-as-effect of language comments if I've interpreted them correctly, but I think it's a small part, and he was even emphasizing physical competence as a way to interpret and develop it, but doesn't appear to want to take the leap into more interesting but maybe dangerous territory.

Perhaps he dodged it because he thought the question about his dog seemed a bit searly.
Followed Bill Gates' footsteps and bought a section of farmland. I grew up in FFA, and knew I wanted to raise beeves, etc since I was young. After a divorce, I pulled the trigger. Software funded beeves.
Oh wow, I need to check if my old HP-UX pizzabox (HP 712) still boots. I'd love to try this if I can track down the files somewhere.

Are you actually making money with the web pages you provided? My understanding is that adsense no longer pays the way it did before.
Well if you want to be good for the environment you also have to consider nitrate emissions and fine particles.

Also, it was my understanding that most of a (ICE) car can be melted and reused, so maybe the mining impact is lower but I don't know what the real world consequences are.
Good weather, seasons (e.g. also cold enough for dairy products with genetic adaptations) and the Gulf Stream. And stealing and plundering the rest of the world of course.
This seems to matter to both of mine, but in different ways - they’re siblings. The male always sleeps in the same spot, from which he can see his food, the living room, and the door. The female sleeps next to me in bed. Like clockwork - I go to bed, she follows, and settles down neatly between the wall and me, and doesn’t move until I get up with dawn. I’m the territory, in the latter case, I think. It isn’t warmth - I sleep with the window open, and when I’m not in bed she sleeps in front of the fire, which is warm all night.
It remains the best option for 3-way merge. For diff, I find myself just reading the raw diff output.

Off the top of my head and in no particular order:

- Super DELETE-heavy workloads. Tombstone cleanup can hurt.

- Complex multidimensional indexes. Things that you'd use multiple semi-overlapping compound indexes on a single table for in a traditional RDBMS.

- Operational pain of operating large Cassandra clusters. Recovering from multi-node failures while under high write load can be nail-biting as you watch the replication progress and the hint expiration "death clock" race for completion.

- Even semi-frequent scans over huge (GBs in size) tables can cause unexpected hiccups in other ongoing CRUD operations. If the scans hit enough nodes/partitions, the impact on other workloads can be pervasive.

- Emulating transactions (with an optimistic lock, full-cluster reads, and a cleanup program that expires interrupted transaction records) at scale can get costly. If you need this, cassandra was probably the wrong choice in the first place, but you asked for limitations and I have seen this one a couple of times.
Looks like this newfangled "political protest" thing is becoming a meme in FLOSS development. Now even VS Code is doing it.
god damn it. if i'd seen this yesterday i probably wouldn't have blown rent on a couple of volcas.
Logistical issues happen all the time. We have to distinguish huge corporation from startup and the in-betweens I'd say as well. About a dozen developers onboarding at the same time (as in the post) also means that it wasn't 'some last minute unexpected hire'.

I've been at companies large and small. One time for example I had to sit on a different floor from my team because they did not have space on that floor. This was a huge downtown office tower owned by the company. They had even put in the request for a desk in time for one to be ready and all that. But there just wasn't space and they had to play tetris on the floor plans and move entire teams around floors to make space for me (and some other new guys that didn't sit with the team either but at least on the same floor. This was explained to me right away though and honestly while not great, it was totally fine in that sense. I just sat in a meeting room or in the coffee area or next to someone else at their desk (yes the desks were large enough for that, no all offices are WeWork sized) for some time (basically ignoring my assigned desk) until this resolved.
Phoning home at all is absolutely unacceptable.
I hope you do accept there are physical limits to growth that there is no way get around short of colonizing other planets and that we should at least take care of our mother planet.
I have read a factor is populations that depend on yearly planning, were successful, so areas where winters will kill you was a requirement for this process.

A one man company consulting another would apply the software for commercial purposes. Commercial use is not comtemplated by the license. The one man company should contact me and buy a different license.

>"This is my project, you can use it if you want. If you want a patch added, pay me. If you want support, pay me."

Because if you are an experimenter asking for a patch I could be also interested in, that could help the project in any way, I could consider doing it for free as part of effort required to develop the project.
With 12.5k stars this isn’t new, right? looks great! what’s the business model? any hosted plans?
I fully agree. It seems self evident that Enlightenment principles are superior to the alternatives. Free speech, democracy, the right to dissent and disagree, separation of religion and state. These principles keep the West prosperous as compared to competing ideologies. Totalitarianism, communism, monarchy, etc.; these do not maximise the wellbeing of the population - demonstrably.

It astounds me when I encounter people decrying Western values. Have they not travelled the world? Do they not understand how much worse it can be? No one argues that Enlightenment values are perfect; just that they’re the best we’ve found so far.

The only one I can think of is the decline that started under the Qing.
The article sums up to 'programming is hard', support FOSS devs. Which is hard to find a fault with. The tone is a bit chicken little given that everyone experiences burnout if they have complex jobs that people depend on.

In the end, devs probably need to stop being so easy going. Everyone probably needs to be a little more Linus.
Not reading Hacked News… that’s what they’re doing now.
I’m 34 and I am nowhere near retirement and I do this now.

It's easier to get started when you're young and have the physical stamina and strength to spend a Saturday in the shop. I'm going to go spend my day down there today, as it happens, while the dog supervises!
People should zoom right out and think about the whole RISC-V project.
When our phones have billions of transistors, are we seriously supposed to believe that RISC philosophy still matters.
Personally I greatly prefer the user programmable 68000 family of processors.
The marketing of RISC-V is perhaps the most impressive thing about it.
Each to their own, I can see why giant SSD manufacturers want to use a license free design and share the cost of compiler development.

Yes. I'm on Carbon ads for the first, and I've partnered with NordVPN and ipinfo.io for the second. ~400 USD/month at the moment for nslookup.io. Stats are open: plausible.io/nslookup.io The end game for that site is to partner with a hosting provider or CDN and sell ad space to them exclusively.
Patently false
Both sides are exaggerating.

Some streets do smell like piss at some times. The building superintendents periodically hose off the front sidewalks to wash away the dog urine, especially during the hottest parts of the summer. Especially on nice streets.
Went from opera singer to developer to most recently CTO Solutions Architecture which is more change management and BD strategy than anything else. Enjoying it so far and it’s definitely blowing away my idea of a comfort zone. 37 now, will probably look to do another industry change again around 45-50. I could probably go into performing arts technology or something like woodworking or auto mechanic would be a lot of fun.
What is your typical day? Did you need any certifications etc?
That wasn't colonialism though.
I have read an argument once that China was too peaceful. While every European king or duke spent considerable amount of time on the battlefield China's armies grew weak. Very few Chinese emperors ever died in battle. The Chinese court was maintaining the status quo. They were running an empire.
Countries like Portugal and the Netherlands were creating one.
This is a great suggestion. My manager hates the term "tech debt", because it's too vague and everyone has their own idea of what constitutes tech debt. But what we can enumerate are things like heavily intertwined logic and IO, difficult to follow business logic, poor documentation, long functions, etc.
It can be. It's physically taxing work but that's not a bad thing.

Living where you're remodeling at the same time is stressful.
The Austrian monarchy was heavily involved with colonialism via Spain. However, even nations that didn't directly go out and colonize benefited because the wealth that was taken from abroad was often spent back in Europe buying food, crafts, and services. The sheer amount of it also led to innovations in state institutions and financial instruments/strategies.
Moreover, the notion that their tactics were more “furious” and “brutal” than those employed by other societies seems to be based solely on claims made by those other societies.
>How do Committees Invent?

In many different ways throughout this seminal paper, he seems to be saying they don't.

An important enough question raised by Conway's Law to merit the title of the piece.

"To the extent that an organization is not completely flexible in its communication structure, that organization will stamp out an image of itself in every design it produces."

"The larger an organization is, the less flexibility it has and the more pronounced is the phenomenon."

Or maybe he is saying good luck, you've got me and pleading for help.

"philosophy promises to unearth basic questions about value of resources and techniques of communication which will need to be answered before our system-building technology can proceed with confidence."

in his final sentence.
iMessages’ big advantage is sending and receiving full quality images/video. My WhatsApp groups that all had iPhones switched to iMessage groups as a result.

Best use case is at a wedding or event or on vacation when you want to share pictures/video with others. Simplest mechanism is to send it to them via iMessage.
I wasn't sure so I googled it. You are talking about some kind of cattle ranching?

Comma has really good safety code. ISO26262 compliant, and they use MISRA C guidelines. Hotz talks about safety in the comma.ai discord server all the time, and frequently berates people for requesting unsafe features or making unsafe forks of openpilot. Afaik, comma auto-bans devices from using their servers if they detect that you’re running a fork that’s removed safety restrictions. It’s safe.
If you allow the question, what long-term goals and general growth (goals) did you set yourself to come to this choice?
Not a switch per se, because I still work on IT related stuff, but I started a bakery and a retail store (two separate businesses).

I hired a chef and a manager to do the work professionally, and I pay for wages, rent, material, etc. But I get to learn the immense efforts it takes for a brownie to be on a table, for a cake to bring a smile to face, and a cheesecake to melt in the mouth. It was a fresh experience, and I really like the change of pace it brought. We have been experimenting with waffles, brownie flavors, cheese cakes, etc. It feels like buying a new domain every day!
> Nobody has any right to expect labor from an unpaid person.

I'm very grateful for OSS projects and maintainers but this is an interesting question: is doing something for free a free pass for false promises (advertising)? If I commit to help someone for free I then have a responsibility to show up. If an OSS developer advertise their projects as production ready then they have a responsibility to honor what is promised. Otherwise it should be stated plainly that the project should not be used in production ("This is a hobby project, use it at your own risks"). Sure it's less attractive and can be incompatible with success and resume building, but it's not possible to have it both way.
When I first stumbled on a senior engineer browsing HN at my very first internship, I assumed it was a hut for developers. However, the more I've browsed this place over the years, the more I realize the community is much, much larger than that. There are some very insightful people from many industries contributing to this site.
> You have to pretend that all worker wages are inherently exploitation (that the business to worker relationship is always structured on worker exploitation), to believe that every rich nation primarily got there via exploitation.

Merely that exploitation is more common than a fair trade where both parties can afford to walk away.

How often is it historically that a person can quit on the spot without fear of becoming homeless?

A quick search finds this article that suggests that in US today 40% of people have negative net worth: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2016/02/the-costs-of-...

Exploitation is not a good source of wealth for the country, of course. For people working minimum wage jobs their time would be more efficiently spent on education. But it's a great way to accumulate wealth that exists anyway.
What is it you do in the industry?
> even when government officials learn about plots to overthrow an autocrat, they may not share that knowledge. This is known as the “vacuum effect”

This paragraph seems strange to me. Wouldn’t the one who shines light on a plan to kill the autocrat be highly rewarded? Googling the “vacuum effect” doesn’t yield results that explain this effect further.

Other than that, interesting read, the distortion of information the autocrat receives seems logical.
Stress and sitting at a desk all day kill just as effectively as gypsum dust.

However it’s a lot easier for a remodeler to put on a P100 mask.

It surely is my limitation, but I have a hard time of visualizing uses for these tools other than interfacing them to ML models (which is not a very compelling use case in my opinion). What other cool things have been done with programmatic music tools?
Please don't miss understand, i do agree with you. In an ideal world one should be able to reason with others, people should care about their surroundings and the society that they are a part of.

However, in the world that we live in you also need to keep in mind that we want to get things done. In my experience things such as eminent domain are only used after quite a while of failed negotiations.

The simple truth is that we expect our institutions and governments to get things done. We want them to eventually build a road, not argue with people for years on end whether or not they should sell their property. In many jurisdictions around the world eminent domain or similar is also tied to court proceedings, making it truly the last option.

The current status quo is a compromise nobody is happy with:

* People expect governments to actually get thing done
* Some people cannot be reasoned with in a timeframe that is acceptable to society

So they came up with the easiest solution: Negotiate with them until it's clear they won't budge or it takes too long, then force it your way.

If there was a way to get everyone to see reason in a reasonable timespan we might not need the status quo. However, as of right now nobody around the world has achieved that. If anyone manages to do so then we might be able to get rid of things like eminent domain, but until that's the case we are stuck with it, for better or worse.
Egypt required yearly planning based on the flooding of the nile I believe. Very hard to farm on floodplains if you aren't really planning ahead.
When it comes to landscape design, I think Death Stranding is head and shoulders above every game that ever existed - both in visual design and realism. As is appropriate, it is a walking simulator.

In Elden ring you often find sudden drops and cliffs, 10 acher lakes that are ancle deep, etc. In Death stranding the rivers have realistic depths and current that pushes on you and knocks you off your feet, mountains are realistic instead of random cliffs that wouldn't hold up to gravity, etc.

Interestingly both games are lead by japanese dudes and both are about a calamity that brings the dead back to life.

Contrast Dark Soulds and Death Stranding with a typical zombie game, the basic idea is the same, but how imaginatively it is developed!

Starbucks Plans to Ditch Disposable Cups by 2025
>Paying 2x-4x for some piece of land is still waaaaaaaay cheaper for society than drowning in decades-long quagmire while infrastructure falls apart everywhere.

Eminent domain is not only used to acquire owner occupied homes for infrastructure. In some cities it is used to purchase poorly maintained properties from slumlords.

Landlords get what rent they can and don't invest anything in upgrades because they know they can cash out with the city government or public land bank. Promising to pay 2-4x may make the problem worse.

If a building is nearly fully depreciated, and has $0 building value, and the landlord invested closed to $0 in maintaining it, but the land is worth $200K, why should they get 4x whatever they claim the gamed comparables are and $800K from the public for doing nothing?

Maybe 150% of the building replacement cost for owner occupied homes makes sense, but ideally absentee investors holding depreciated properties and vacant lots wouldn't get paid a dime for the land value.
Crypto is useless outside black market, illegal activities. I can't find any use cases which money issued by gov can't cover but crypto can. Basically it's an re-invented wheel, like so many new programming languages which are interesting but not necessary.
I know that’s not true. I live in a remotish town of ~50,000. With ag and retirement as the primary backbone. A couple months ago, someone on HN’er responded to one of my comments, and we’ve hung out a few times. I actually came here to see if he’s posted since he pivoted to real estate. I’m still in tech.

I'm not sure if you're looking for stories of moving away from tech, software, or just development, but I did the latter.

I started as a web developer, but I realized that my favorite part of the job wasn't building new pages/apps but helping my colleagues when they ran into roadblocks. I got a reputation as a problem-solver and people would come to me with their thorniest bugs or browser compatibility issues and I loved it - the detective work of investigating and diagnosing the issues, the creative solutions to work around browser limitations, and the satisfaction of helping people achieve their goals.

Then I met a product support engineer at my friend's startup and heard about that role, and realized it was an entire job made of what I loved most about my previous jobs. I joined the team and was on it for years, and have been working in technical support for software products ever since (about twelve years now). I still build websites as a hobby, but I wouldn't want to do it for a job anymore. I'm very happy in product support.
