> There is apparently absolutely no additional labor, no additional material, nothing to distinguish a P90 from a P60 except for a software lock.

Oh come on, don't take this to a ridiculous extreme.

I'm pretty sure this logic would say that if a store has a loss-leader then they should sell everything at a negative 20 percent profit margin.

Hell, even without software locks, if they want to sell half the stock at one price and half the stock at a different price that's fine.
> Would you describe Ford as being composed of thousands of brilliant engineers?

Absolutely.

I've seen people believe that creating a browser is no big deal, can you imagine developing, manufacturing, compliance certification, marketing and distribution of actual vehicles, planet-scale?
Two reasons.

First, even if you perfectly know your suitability for the job, it's (perhaps unfortunately) true that interviewing itself is a skill you can improve at. Feedback is in general a great way to improve faster at things, so I think it's natural to want to know why you were rejected.

Second, if you were rejected for a reason out of your control that would inform what types of jobs you apply for in the future, so also useful knowledge.

I agree in the end that you should accept that you're not going to get much feedback, but it's totally reasonable to want it.
The thing up for debate is whether or not the advertisement, advertising their new payment method, is an advertisement?
Browser zoom kinda works. But yeah, adding better zoom/pan is in my backlog.

You sure are brave to take on a 40x40 =)
If it has Alienware parts, then: yes.

Do you think that Dell should remotely access you computer and artificially nobble it?
Why use analogies at all?

Tesla replaced a 60 with a 90, the owner now has a 90.

They list it as a 90 when selling it.

The new owner gets hit with the update to turn it back into a 60.

New owner is pissed at old owner, when they should be pissed at tesla.
Then if you're hiring entry-level employees, you need to be prepared to accept a naive and unrealistic plan. If they have a plan that sounds like an experienced person's plan, maybe they did their homework and got lucky, maybe they know somebody and got interview coaching, but it's unlikely that their destiny from birth was exactly your job opening.
Honda Pilot!
I think most people don't care about (whether out of time-induced apathy or unfortunate agreement) who Ford was much like how they don't care much about who founded VW or why. Coming from Detroit, it was always frustrating how whitewashed his history got.
This doesn't really match my experience for my own career or as a manager. Plenty of great engineers don't have a plan beyond "learn and get better," including those that have traditionally-successful careers (e.g. director+ at top tech company).

I'd expect that to matter more if you're, say, trying to be a founder - I can see that benefitting from intentional planning. But for careers at big companies, "learn and get better" seems good enough (and if that qualifies as a plan, I don't think I've worked with anyone that doesn't have a plan).
Nice, 8M USD for seed in the current market climate is not bad.
And this is why I won’t buy a Tesla.
>The conflict began on 2 April, when Argentina invaded and occupied the Falkland Islands, followed by the invasion of South Georgia the next day.

I work for a non-tech company as a solo full stack dev.

I have been able to interview with fortune 500 companies and get offers.

I have been getting contacted by recruiters from hot startups, Microsoft, Google, AWS, Amazon and Meta.

I am not sure if I'm stupid but I really don't know how "no experience" can be better than wrong experience. There is always things you learn, better negotiation tactics, your value to a business, and all the mistakes you have made.

This sounds like, "if you don't work for these tech companies, you are doing programming wrong". There are many ways to be successful and this POV is toxic imo.

Edit: I would love to hear what the wrong experience is.
Somebody looked at elevators and thought, "This is perfect: everything that moves should be an elevator!"

But the whole world would need to be in a straight line. "This is perfect: we'll make everybody live in a line!"

And, not realize that elevators move in a straight line because they hang on a cable. If you lay it on its side, it becomes a train, and can go anywhere the tracks bend to.
> So sorry, there is no ransoming. Just a bit of old fashioned fraud, and not on the part of Tesla.

Actually, it's just a bit of old fashioned stupidity on the part of Tesla (or, at least, on the part of one of Tesla's employees).

They made the mistake when the car was owned by someone else (in fact, two someone elses ago). It would cost them basically nothing to just leave it alone, and instead they've gained a huge pile of ill will -- not only for the current owner of the car, but an internet's worth of customers and potential customers. And saying they will "fix" what they "fixed" for $4500 just makes them look even more like jerks.

Really bad move on Tesla's part.

Ironically, most analogies that I've seen compare other things to cars. This is one of those cases where it's the other way around.

>Nah, a best guess estimate is better than no estimate at all.

Only if it's more-or-less accurate on average. It can't possibly be the case that a highly inaccurate estimate is better than no estimate. If you don't know, you don't know, and you should plan on that basis, not on the basis of a made up estimate.
The problem I have is Tesla even having the ability to do something like that. The idea of car manufacturers having remote access to my car to enable and disable features is a very scary proposition.

It’s adds another point of failure to something your life can sometimes depend on, imagine if you’re in a cyber truck on a backroad trail and Tesla finds out the last owner didn’t pay for 4WD, you could easily get stranded.

And I feel like with all this connectivity to the manufacturer, we will start to see “acceptable use cases” for your cars. For the vast majority of people they won’t notice but a gearhead will get in and head to the track to find out he can’t drive there because he doesn’t have the “track package subscription” or an off-roader realizing he can’t take his jeep off road because if didn’t come with an “off pavement subscription”. Your truck won’t be able to move when hooked up to a trailer because it doesn’t have a “tow package”. Eventually you’re going to be doing something and want to do something with your car and realize you can’t, not because it’s incapable, but because it was told not to by someone else.

I promise you there will be scams abound with hackers selling base model cars as fully loaded ones then reverting everything after the fact. A few are going to die in off-roading situations where the car just refused to move or had critical features disabled through software, and we’re going to relish the days where the only subscription was to your heated seats. And all these subscriptions are going to make Adobe look like a saint with their subscriptions.
Looking at how to structure a rust web development app
On 1. now I wonder what is the optimal width for this type of city in place it is build. If we are thinking of protection from things like sand storms or other effects. As at somepoint the walls stop covering what is on other side of them. Unless we are talking about old-school fortications.
Don't forget the fact that he has to pay for the electricity cost of hauling around what is probably a hundred pounds of battery he can't use.
I think the comparison is just old, it used to be accurate.

- Cloudflare Workers now supports WebSocket.

- Cloudflare Workers now supports strongly-consistent storage / ACID transactions with Durable Objects.

- Cloudflare Workers is becoming open source, but not there yet (I am refactoring the code for this as we speak): https://twitter.com/KentonVarda/status/1523666343412654081

(Disclosure: I'm the tech lead for Cloudflare Workers.)
Stories like this and BMW selling microtransactions makes me hate technology. I remember being disgusted when the horse armor DLC was released and now that type of monetization is everywhere in gaming. These stories of car manufacturers locking you out of hardware you paid for with software is the horse armor DLC of the future for cars.
Ha, you joke, but now that I think about it, I know at least 4 people who have done this.

One was quite exceptional.

I don't know about present availability of any of them.

I have left a company and worked there a few years later for more money. (However, I wasn't salaried, I was contract both times)

Thinking further, I also know two people who have left the company I worked for and had a change of heart - but were not able to be hired back.
I haven't heard of petrol buses before, you probably mean diesel or CNG. Petrol is what Americans and Canadians commonly call gasoline, which is generally used in smaller vehicles than buses or trucks, which generally burn diesel instead. Petrol is a lot more dangerous than diesel because petrol fumes are explosively flammable, while diesel is relatively nonvolatile.
What systems are those? Windows doesn’t allow you to do that by default unless you’re an admin.
Similarly, I used to cover school books in brown paper and then over the top of that with sticky-backed plastic, which turn stuck Doreen only on the insides of the cover. Because it wasn't actually attached to the outside of the cover like just the plastic would be, and it would not tear like only brown paper (the actual required method) it formed an incredibly tough, slightly cushioned protective layer. Only my books came back at the end of the year without dog eared covers and dented spine ends.

You want to send to jail everyone who distracts you and breaks your flow ?
This seems extreme to me. Maybe you can take less extreme actions to avoid this, like putting your devices in "do not disturb" mode while you need to work.
But now, your choices are among legacy car makers and their dealer networks...

Are you assuming that this is news to the naysayers? Or maybe the naysayers are fully-informed, and they still say, "I'd rather deal with a traditional dealer than buy a Tesla"? Because that's what this naysayer is saying: better to deal with the devil I know...
No, it's about culture and proximity. There is a huge hunger problem in America. I give to my local food bank. It's not because I'm pro my state and anti all the others.

We are talking about Russian literature because it is part of our culture, unlike Afghani literature.

Attempts at weaponizing compassion are disgusting.
Yeah, I think we are thinking similarly here. I've seen some cases where FSD was lost where it was absolutely dealer negligence.

The bad thing is that Tesla sometimes takes a really long time with these "audits". Its hard when the customer only finds out what the dealer did after months of ownership.
So, 2 owners got extra range for a couple of years. This was to their benefit.

It should be considered a gift from Tesla, since Tesla made the mistake.

If Tesla withdraws the gift then they should also pay for the mistake, somehow.
No it's not. Russia has cut supply to Europe, that's a fact. That they have some leaks doesn't change that they're not letting through enough even for summertime.
> Just to be clear, IMO if Tesla swaps a battery under warranty with a larger one because they don't have the right one, and they don't software lock it before it leaves the service center... well, that's on them. They can't play takebacksies years later, remotely, with no warning.

This is a really funny thing to say because they can and did. Should be clear that Tesla will do whatever they want.
Funny, I was gonna say the same thing. But I also remembered GitHub now has built-in CI (Actions).

Right on, I always thought a CRDT SQLite database would be awesome. I thought about looking at the session extension[1] to handle the merges but I didn't get very far into it.

Feel free to ping me at benbjohnson@yahoo.com if you want to chat WAL & journaling. I think it'd be difficult to implement CRDT at the journal level since it's all physical pages. Merging data in pages is going to sometimes cause splits and that'll be hairy to deal with.

Things like this make me indifferent. I bought a Model 3 last year, and it's by far the best car I've ever owned. I love it.

spirited away is amazing because of the chihiro's journey through the fantastical world of the kami, where she has to contend with not only her own present but generations past and all their virtue and vice. it's about the ever-present struggle to place oneself in a world built upon tradition and deference. this is a common theme in east asian tv and film, but miyazaki explores it in such an enveloping and actually rather gentle way, filled with symbolism and mysticism. the film's representation of coming of age seems to be external (overcoming spirits), but it's all about the girl's coming to terms with herself in relation to her parents and everyone who came before them. it's a blip in her life externally but internally, everything has changed. chihiro transforms in that little blip.

I personally wouldn't share code written for anyone other than myself as part of a hiring process.

However, my understanding is that it is very common for code samples from current or former employers to be shared in interviews.

There's an unsaid understanding that it is not technically allowed, but I've also yet to hear that it has interfered with a potential hire.

I don't have a lot of data points on this, so if anyone else with experience doing hiring at SV unicorns can chime in, I am curious.
Interesting, thanks for the links. Looking at them, though, it would appear that the two "paths" being interfered differ in length on the order of the separation between the two telescopes -- i.e. meters or kilometers -- rather than astronomical distances. Using the speed of light, this corresponds to a difference in flight time of the light on the order of nanoseconds or seconds. I can imagine how the light traversing the two paths could remain unmolested by stray random, environmental phase shifts during such short times (necessary if you want them to interfere). On the other hand, the double images in the photo would have a difference in flight times of years? But, again, I don't really understand precisely what the astronomer was referring to, or have proper intuition for the conditions of space through which astronomical photons travel...
That could inadvertently sweep up popular labor of love projects with almost no revenue, like hobbyist communities or fan sites and so on.

A billion in topline revenue should do the trick. Once you hit that level you have to provide individualized human support. You're allowed to charge money for the support but it has to be available to anyone willing to pay at least a modest fee to communicate with a real person.

If you don't like it fuck you, you have a billion dollars get the fuck over it.
Thank you, I guess I'll switch.

This is an excellent business model! Its the complete rejection of "Right of first sale" and the entire concept of ownership. Its an inversion of communism where instead of the state owning something and forcing you to rent it, a corporation does.

Its incredibly profitable for the ruling class. Too bad you aren't in it.
I don't think Ford's doing them direct. They did tell dealerships they couldn't raise their prices.

I have never seen anything remotely to your ideal.

Did you forget how competitive and cut throat the world is? You don't sell, you don't eat. Sales is a race to the bottom, a competitor will eat you alive by undercutting or over-promising just the right amount to win the deal.
I have seen very few people contesting his election. It’s the snipers shooting at crowds and sending the army to the Maidan square that people really objected to. Also, his cosying up with Putin and showing the finger to the EU. And corruption.
Sorry to hear! First, know that it's a numbers game, and your energy is better spent preparing for your next interview than wondering about this one. Second, talk to your peers. If you know someone who works at the kind of company you're applying to, they can tell you the vast majority of things that will make a difference. If you haven't, do a mock interview with one of them. That will reveal if there are any giant red flags, and those are the only things you should be worried about. Good luck!
It's been 7 years since Google rebranded and everyone still calls it Google.
"Unfortunately, this only works because the abstraction handles it well. You can't really do custom things with file descriptors, so the amount of useful things you can do by treating sockets as files is quite limited"

In general, most code has a clear initialization step where it sets up everything it wants to set up, then you can pass it to something that only expects a io.Reader/io.Writer and it can operate. I have a couple of places where one way of getting something does an HTTP request, but another way opens an S3 file for writing, and yet another way opens a local disk file. Each of them has their own completely peculiar associated configuration and errors to deal with, but once I've got the stream cleanly I pass of an io.WriteCloser to the target "payload" function.

If you're doing super intense socket stuff you may need to grow the interface, or even just plain code against sockets directly. But most application-level stuff, even complicated stuff like "Maybe I'm submitting a form and maybe I'm writing to S3 and maybe I'm writing to disk and maybe I'm writing to a multiplexed socket and maybe I'm doing more than one of these things at once" can be cleanly broken into a "initialize the io.Reader/io.Writer, however complicated it may be" phase and a "use the io.Reader/io.Writer in another function that doesn't have to worry about the other details" phase. It is also highly advantageous to be able to pass a memory buffer to the latter function to test it without having to also try to figure out how to fake up a socket or a file or whatever.

People don't write applications that accept either files or sockets because in most languages there is one impediment or another to the process; a system that almost makes file-like objects share an interface but in practice not really, libraries that force you to pass them strings rather than file-like objects, etc. While it isn't attributable to Go qua Go, by getting it right in the standard library early Go legitimately is really good at this sort of thing, more because the standard library set the tone for the rest of the ecosystem than because of any unique language features. I hear Rust is good too, which I can easily believe. Every time I try to use Python to do this, I'm just saddened; it ought to work, it ought to be easy, but something always goes wrong.

40 year old building that criminally ignored maintenance. I wouldn't cite that as a cautionary tale on building cheap. Multi-tenant buildings should always have a bigger regulatory burden than single family. However, building a single family home should have most regulatory burdens removed and let homeowners take responsibility for choosing their own tradeoffs.
