> All I say is that you must relay on externals if A-E are all on the same network as it may go down.

Thankfully, it's not too hard to take advantage of multiple networks in a hybrid/multi-cloud setup nowadays! Though, depending on the necessary access controls and auditing, such a setup might require slightly more work.

You do bring up an excellent point, though, about how it's a serious single point of failure in many systems out there, because personally I've also seen many setups like that (the majority of them, actually): I do suspect that in many cases that is indeed done for ease of use/convenience, even if it may lead to downtime.

Of course, in some cases downtime is acceptable, so I cannot argue that it can also make sense to choose such a simpler setup - for example, for having your own company's applications/monitoring for development environments all on the same network.

Though if this topology is retained at scale, things can get a bit interesting. On a similar note, I recall Bryan Cantrill doing an interesting presentation "Debugging Under Fire: Keep your Head when Systems have Lost their Mind" that talked about restarting their whole data center and the implications of that: https://youtu.be/30jNsCVLpAE
I'm someone else, but I did the same thing 5 years ago.

For me, the most productive environment for writing and reading code is an editor with rich language support. Text editing ergonomics and startup time are completely trivial aspects of the user experience compared to proper language support. Although vim is improving, its plugin system, configuration mechanisms and plugin ecosystem is an afterthought and requires way more fidgeting, setup and hacking to just barely be useful.

When I made the switch, Bram was still vocal about how he regarded the sort of language support plugins I wanted as undesirable or irrelevant, and made no effort to accommodate things like LSP. This has changed, but at this point, it's too late. VS Code supports all the languages I need through a set of plugins it wouldn't even be possible to implement for vim, with no fidgeting required. Although I still love vim's text editing capabilities, they're not nearly enough to tip the scales.

I still use vim for quick text file stuff, and even write commit messages in vim in VS Code's terminal. For actual development though, it'll never be as powerful and low maintenance as VS Code.

Yeah they have Lidars for 10s of 1000s of $ mounted and should be able to go for certain distances without GPS. If a GPS outage was designed as failure mode. But it would perhaps be one of the later items on any engineer‘s priority list since it is so reliable.

The switches "plague" is a very well known issue [0] and it's not reassuring for any potential buyer as you have to return affected devices eventually, DIY replace the switches or hope contact cleaning spray keeps the problem at bay. Despite knowing this I still got an Ergo because, like another poster said, there really wasn't anything like it I found as comfortable (and the many 3D-printable ad hoc designs for further, extreme inclinations were a big incentive).

Easter eggs were always fun and handy to impress your friends.

Thanks to an Easter egg in Photoshop, I got my 2nd job, an entry into the world of the Internet. While waiting for my interview, I did some design of a mosaic of the splash images and the other from the Easter egg. The CEO/Director saw that and asked me how I did the trick. I start the following month.

Not really an Easter egg, but in Windows 3x (I think or WIN95), the startup and shutdown splash screens are just bitmaps (.bmp) and are easily editable in Paint. In the 90s, there was a high-profile computer showcase in our hometown. My friends and I dressed in school uniforms and could quickly get in. As a show-off to my friends, I edited the BMPs in Paint and freaked out the organizers (I backed/copied the originals next to the edited one). My friends think I'm the Hackerman.
I've been seeing 'GP' 'round these parts for a while now. What does it stand for? Grandparent?
I see. But there is a maximum tx power that Bluetooth devices can transmit legally, is it just high tx power or something else?

Regardless, my issue can be solved via software: it's not "always connecting because of high tx power". I have other Bluetooth devices paired and none of them try to connect to other peers when I forcibly disconnect them until I explicitly hit connect or do a power cycle. On the other hand, the Logitech one does, which is literally the single reason for me to ditch it and never recommend a Logitech device to anyone again.
Canary deployments in autonomous vehicles? I’m not sure that only sending 1% of customers to fiery deaths is considered a win.
“as Mac OS Monterey was recently released so all the features may not work currently”

This kind of response makes me very angry. Apple release betas of their OS a good four months in advance of full release. It is unacceptable for big vendors to not have their products working when the final release drops. Does Logitech really want people to walk into a store and buy a brand new device that doesn’t work with the majority of theoretically supported Apple devices?
Absolutely more money. The airlines thing is more the time factor and aggravation factor. Most of UCLA's games were 90 mins to at most 2.5 hours away or so doesn't wear on the athletes. Now 5 or 6 hours each way per trip. More money but more strain on athletes, not just football, but all sports.

It could be a middle ground kind of thing. The cars have to trust something. For position you have GPS + some interpolation based on your movement sensors + some buildings/streets and maps (also unreliable since construction etc changes a lot, a lot of buildings and intersections look the same, etc).

Computers are very far away from understanding where they are from context alone. Hell most humans don't know where they are. So if you have a short GPS outage they will be able to continue navigating due to other sensors, but the longer the GPS outage/issues persist the more unlikely it is that they still know where they are.

There should definitely be a safety to drive to the side of the road and wait though.
Senators don't choose the judges, they just allow or reject them.

> I'm contextualizing this opinion through a legal lens, pointing to what it really does. From now on, Congress will have to pass laws (e.g. Do Their Jobs) to pass environmental legislation

No, it doesn't mean that. The Major Question doctrine only even comes into play on its own terms if (1) Congress has, in fact, passed a law, and (2) the matter addressed by the law is entirely withing Congress Constitutional power, and (3) an executive agency is acting entirely in accord with the law passed by Congress.

Despite the name "MacBook Pro", this isn't the same lineage as the 14" MBP, remember. For years, there have basically been two lines of MBPs -- the 13"/15" line with four USB-C ports that later became the 14"/16" line, and the 13"-only line that always had just two USB-C ports, more limited CPUs, and a variety of other limitations. The move to Apple Silicon has weirdly made this distinction even more stark: now the 14"/16" line has the new design language and new internals (and ports), while the 13" one, despite being one of the first M2-based laptops, retains the old design language, very similar internals going back to the Intel days, and the same two USB-C ports. Also, with the move to the M1 (and now the M2), there's virtually no reason to buy these over the MacBook Air. The Air has MagSafe, a better camera, a better display, better speakers, a better microphone, a better webcam. This low-end "Pro" has, uh, the Touch Bar. And a fan. (Which seems like it may not help the thermals.)

From all appearances, this laptop exists solely to hit a price point with the name "Pro", primarily to appease enterprise customers that won't buy Macs that don't have the "Pro" badging. I would't be surprised if the M2-based Airs, which move the Air to the new design, actually have better thermals despite being fanless.

The most likely thing to do is to open up your browser and fuzz your brain on whatever internet distraction you like.

The smarter thing to do is literally anything that gets you out of your chair. Your body needed the break long before you’re brain succumbed to whatever fatigue.

Now that you have the freedom of remote work, I strongly suggest that you do not let that habit continue.

Europe heatwave breaks multiple June records
Our understanding of the greenhouse effect dates back to the 19th century.

Section 202(a)(1) is pretty explicit that the law does not limit the pollutants under the low to those known to the legislative body[1]:

> The Administrator shall by regulation prescribe (and from time to time revise) in accordance with the provisions of this section, standards applicable to the emission of any air pollutant from any class or classes of new motor vehicles or new motor vehicle engines, which in his judgment cause, or contribute to, air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.

Edit: In other words: even if we could show that Congress was unaware of CO2's effect on the environment, it simply doesn't matter. The Act empowers the EPA to identify and address the pollutants.

How are you distributing your product?

It could be that you (and your now demoralised team) have spent too much time building, not enough time selling. This is normal if the core team are engineers, we all default to what we are good at and enjoy doing. The sad part is though, distribution is far more important than production. In my experience, it is close to impossible to recover a team that has mentally 'checked out'. If they are critical to project, it could be the journey for this product is over.

You hate the cruelty of farming animals for food, but you support the cruelty of farming vegetables for food

Probably because they think one is worse than the other. I think flipping somebody off and hitting them in the face is both not very nice, but I think one of them is much more impolite. Moral judgements come in degrees. Is this novel information for you?

That said, maybe they're also trying to minimise the impact of the plant based foods they eat? I'm sure you don't, why go halfsies and all, so that thought probably never crossed your mind.

You believe that eating animals is morally wrong, but you want to pretend that you're eating animals, at the expense of non-animals?

No, they like the taste. They're not pretending to eat meat. People who drink diet coke don't pretend to drink non-diet coke. They're drinking another coke flavored beverage.
I caution anyone reading this to not take this summary at face value. If you're interested, you should read the linked threads for yourself. I'd say you can leave out that someone followed up on some technical detail three years later, but you be the judge.

FWIW, my takeaway was the exact opposite. How the original async authors were treated was a disgrace. It showed, to me, that there were deep problems with the vim dev community. Forking off neovim was the best thing that could happen. I'm so glad someone had the energy to do so.

That said, I'm super grateful for Brams work on vim. It was my tool of choice for many years.

> Tesla has also bet on massive scale from the beginning

According to the article being discussed, GM and Ford will have more scale in 2025. I think Volkswagen and at least on Chinese company likely will have, too.

The article also claims that Tesla stopped betting on scale (“Tesla didn't take greater advantage of the free money it could have gotten, raise much more, open capacity faster, grow much faster and shut the door. He didn't. He didn't move fast enough. He didn't recognize what was going on in the market. He had tremendous hubris that they would never catch him, they would never be able to do what he's doing, and they're doing it.”)

Exactly this is my guess too. Literally everyone is seeing these very obvious spam comments everywhere. Have a few people monitor comment sections manually and then maybe one guy who goes over the spam ones and come up with a regex-like matching rule to detect these and move them to the "potential spam" section of the creator's dashboard. It's gonna be whack-a-mole but it's rather responsive. I get it, they want to automate everything, but evidently that only gets you so far, your model will never be at 100%, and we didn't even get to false positives yet.
> Ask not what your company can do for you, but what you can do for your company!

I once had a CEO literally drop that line in to an email, after berating the dev team for failing to hit an impossible deadline, that he'd pulled forwards over the vehement objections of the VP of Development.

It was the most utterly bizarre, and divorced from reality, email I think I've ever seen from leadership.

Rather than "completely" maybe it would have been more correct to say "widely". The idea of global warming basically started in the late 60s with a very few scientists talking about it.

Rediscovering old previously discredited scientific papers from the late 19th and early 20th century doesn't make it date all the way back to then.
It's not commandeering the electricity sector, it's regulating air pollution. This is not carte Blanche, it was laid out in great detail through the executive authority and extensively documented to be within the authority of the EPA.

However, some politicians didn't like this outcome. They didn't have the votes, so they are legislating from the bench.

There's no other way to view this. What you call "commandeering" is exactly the same as all the other regulations, like sulphuric oxide for acid rain. It's just that some people have politics that takes precedence over the possible scientific outcomes.
(Giving you the benefit of the doubt that you're being genuine, even with my apparently fried brain) That's certainly a possible future if the right tightens their grip on society too much, we could experience some brain drain as those with the ability to leave do so, but it would be a tiny minority of people. We saw some signs of that during Trump's tenure, mostly scientists and academics not wanting to study or go to conferences here.
Depends on the product. I found my early adopters within my close network of friends and colleagues and in my neighbourhood. Dont hesitate to reach out and keep in touch , find them wherever you can. One good way to reach out which almost always worked in my case was taking some time out for discussion on your idea and then gently asking them if they can use it and give you some feedback.

This is "the donkey hung the man, not the executor yoking the donkey" logic. We have overwhelming evidence that CO2 emissions are a primary efficient cause for climate change, which we have overwhelming reason to believe will directly harm the lives and welfare of billions.

It doesn't matter that we won't die of CO2 asphyxiation itself, because neither the CAA nor common sense establishes that standard.

He popped into my mind at random last night, and I remember thinking "It's been so long since he uploaded anything" and being hit by a little bit of dread. My friends going back as far as high school and I are extremely saddened by the news. We had so many great hours watching his content together - it was always a big event. We've split all across the globe, but we'd get together online and watch his latest uploaded together whenever something came out.

Much like when TotalBiscuit passed away when I was young (he seemed so old then, and now I'm almost his age!), I'm suddenly struck by thoughts about how I'm spending my time, and how none of us are guaranteed a long time here on earth. So many of us spend so much time planning for the future, slogging through work to buy that house, etc., and it's good to remember - though I dearly wish the reminders didn't have to come in such a shocking fashion - that you should enjoy some of the time you have now, just in case you don't get more later.

Disagree. It’s easy to see how far FSD has progressed, there’s lots of videos to document how far it’s gone from then and today. It’s also not easy to say they’ve reached the point of diminishing returns (which generally takes a massive amount of data to hit, even GPT3 has not hit it) as it’s not clear how much of FSD is powered by heuristic based code and what is NNs. Judging by some of the discussions there’s still a significant amount of C/C++ code in the loop that could be improved by moving them to NNs.
