That video was clearly faked, I mean it wasn't even faked very well. You can even see how FSD wasn't enabled at one point you can see the car flashing warning signs (but the audio of course was removed so people wouldn't notice). The driver manually over-wrote the system and that behavior is clearly explained in the user-manual and its how the car is supposed to work.

Do you always take internet videos made by literal competitors over the state licensed regulators?
It really is. Sometimes it's useful like 3d-printing (make custom thing), but often it's just like having the right replacement part for something that broke.
Here's some real examples from myself:

Repairs (crotch of my jeans x 10, broken strap on backpack)

Functional modifications (add pocket to jacket, add attachment points to a bag so I can mount it on my bike rack, lined a jacket with some scrap wool material to make it warmer)

Aesthetic modifications - what got me into it in the first place (slim shirts, taper pants, hem pants, replace buttons)

Small custom makes - mostly leather (my wallet, passport holder, kindle slip cover, tote bag)

Large (involved) custom makes - bicycle frame bag, hammock underquilt
Buttons beat touchscreens in cars, and now there’s data to prove it
Agreed, acoustics are SO important. Once I am happy with how the prototype sounds I will update the website with a typing text.
Those giant numbers in a different font from the numbers on the f-keys sure are a choice you made.
Outdoor gear is the perfect onramp for sewing, and it's how I got started!

Function is more important than form outdoors, so compared to say your work clothes it's ok if stitching is messy or fabric doesn't match.

Repairs are an easier way to get started than creating something from scratch, and outdoor stuff breaks. I've fixed and patched lots of holes, replaced a few zippers. Most recently mended the strap on my hiking pole that a critter chewed through overnight.

Gear modification is another ease into sewing. Old gear can be modernised, features can be copied from friends' gear, and gear can be customised to your specific needs. I've added ice axe loops and hip pockets to a pack, made a frame bag the exact size of my mountain bike, added elastic to a drawstring bag that wasn't cinching properly.
The site describes the switches as similar to reds. Linear, no tactile bump, silent.
I look at it differently.

The first step is to prove the process - to the appropriate level of control limits, and then the second step is to optimize the process.

You may say it's "significant", but if you look at it another way, it de-risks both tasks as opposed to doing both at the same time but having much higher risk.

So in my mind, the "significant work" is less relevant, as the derisking is much more important.

It's definitely a convenience over security feature. My personal feeling is that the convenience is worth it in this case, and it's a sensible default.

We use Delphi at work. We've gotten a lot of pressure from customers to move to the web.

However the lack of ways to design non-trivial UIs quickly does not make it seen feasible at the moment.

Then there's the fact that Win32 is like bedrock in terms of stability. We've got forms that's been designed and coded over 15 years ago which still works just as fine as they did back then.

We've got input-heavy UIs, the one I'm working on right now is a single window with >150 input fields including multiple child tables up to levels 3 deep with their own grids. Getting the UI layout done and components connected to the DB will take me a day tops, it'll look great and based on history should work for the next 10+ years. The web seems like such a step back whenever I try it.
It is, minus AOT experience.
What a limited view. Consider Tyre, very close to Beirut. Before Muslim it was Phoenician, Hittite, Egyptian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Canaanite, Persian, Macedonian, Israeli, English, Ottoman, Roman, and now Lebanon. Its had both Eastern and Western Influence (since Alexander). Remember Alexander predates the existence of Islam and Christianity - certainly colonialism. At the time of Beirut's founding its religion was following a god named Baal and Astarte.
You should have a look at Lord of the Rings Online, an MMORPG set in Middle-earth. They have an extraordinary devotion to Tolkien's text. It's worthwhile to Tolkien fans just as a way of visualizing his world, even without the gameplay. It incorporates details that most readers gloss over in reading.

It's an example of how it's possible to be deeply respectful of the material while extending it and exploring it. I have no idea if "Embracer" is going to achieve that or not, but it means I'm going to keep an open mind about it.
The "cash only" businesses in NY are generally cheating on their taxes. A congressman was arrested a few years back for tax fraud on the profits from cash only businesses he owned in the city. His defense was that "this is a well-known common practice in the city".
I hope that encoder's knob is easily removable because it's a large protrusion that will get in the way of slipping the keyboard into narrow spaces. Large coat pockets, outer pockets on backpacks, drawers, bookshelves, ...

This terrified my wife and I so much that we packed and moved almost 1k miles away. My son was taking 8th grade classes in 7th grade. That was a fight in itself with the school system we moved away from. He’s now in 8th grade taking all high school AP/Honors classes. He’s set to graduate high school with his associates and if he keeps it up he’ll have a bachelors by 20. The old school system there was nothing of the sort in place and we’re not talking about a small town. We’re talking about a million plus population area.

We should be doing everything we can to embrace and encourage children to excel. Not reduce every student’s education down to bullshit.

Edit:
We couldn’t afford to move but we HAD to. We sacrificed, we saved, we went without. It was rough and the living conditions weren’t the best to start but we were forced. We couldn’t sit idly by and watch our son become another statistic.
$0.02 per click is not cheap for your own name, and this protection is more like protection in the mafia sense of the term.
It was the turn of the century. Internet streaming radio was the new thing. You needed an expensive server to host it ($100+/month). I was a teenager with no money that wanted to run an internet radio station.

So I figured out how to hack together a perl CGI script that statelessly ran a stream, so I could put it on a cheap webhost ($5/month). One script to receive data and write it to temporary files, and the other to stream it to listeners, stitching together the temporary files, and deleting old ones as needed, etc. I had to learn to think about concurrency, locking, etc. I abused the fact that renaming a file is atomic :-)

So yeah, being a kid and being able to get something that normally costs $100 for only $5 was an amazing motivator
This is a great little device for repair of backpacks, heavy duty cordura materials, etc. It's not really suitable for making anything from scratch, but for those without sewing machines it's far superior to just needle and thread.

Similarly, Windows Forms[1] still exists and is still being developed. Yeah, it was "deprecated" by Microsoft[2], but it's since been "un-deprecated".

Windows Forms is C# and borrows heavily from Delphi's Rapid Application Development (RAD) style.

They are still alternatives… with different pros and cons, the price being one of them.

But the Fairphone is not an alternative to the Librem 5 and the PinePhone, and those are not alternatives to the Fairphone. They target different things.
Out of interest, do you see that work increasing linearly with your number of customers?
For something trivial and cross platform: Tcl with Tk or Python with wxpython.

Java with Swing does still exist and works too.

It's harder (IMO) to "scale" a Tcl/Tk or wxpython project though as there aren't great built-in patterns and especially with wxpython, the API is a bit clunk and boilerplate heavy.

For a bigger project that you don't need to be cross-platform, you can still make a Windows Forms C# project in Visual Studio. It still works pretty well even, although Visual Studio seems to get slower and farther from this use case each year.
I love it, from what I see. I will definitely be an early buyer (US version...).

I wish we could all have a real conversation about key layouts, though. The layout with the less reachable left shift and right enter/return is just dumb. It's like putting the door lock control on the outside of your car door so you have to roll the window down to reach out and unlock the door. In place of where the door lock belongs, they put the hood release lever. Obviously that would be a really stupid design since we need to unlock the door much more than we need to open the hood. And that's how I feel about the tradeoffs between the US and US International layouts.

The tilda and backtick key is much less used than the shift key, so robbing reachable space from shift to put that less needed key is absurd. So is pushing squeezing the return key out of reach of the right pinky. Someone who was not a touch typist designed this, and they should be made to pay for the guaranteed loss in productivity that comes from using it.

Sorry for the rant. But really, I wish this could be resolved. It sucks that I cannot walk into an Apple store in Europe and get one with "good" US keyboard. (You can still order US layout in Europe.)
Still fairs better than anything Microsoft has done with C++ tooling for GUI development.
Ah, so it is just how things work. Strange argument on context of womens liberation in my opinion.
ah the GUI designers from Borland, light years ahead of everything else... it just worked and looked nice (compared to Microsoft shitshow that was Visual Studio back then), was very easy to learn and its the only thing in software I've seen in 20 years which deserved the title RAD.
A lot of mechanical keyboards look incredible but once they arrive in the mail they're complete garbage when it comes to tactile feedback and general feel and usability of the keys. I'd say that's 80% of what makes a good keyboard. Crossing my fingers on this one (well at least until the keyboard arrives and need them to type on it).

Making some money sure, but developing nations are not great consumer markets and BigCo isn’t making a big chunk of its profit there. It ought to be possible for BigCo to be made to accept the loss of a market they probably would neglect anyway (especially pharma) in exchange for R&D funding to give legal clearance for other organizations to serve those populations.

Rust is keeping macOS Arm as Tier 2 as well, mostly not because of lack of interest but because CI platforms can’t support all the demand for Arm builds. MacStadium, Azure, AWS and others keep adding extra capacity but the build queues are still too long.

So you either promote Arm Mac as tier 1, but now every PR takes extra hours to get merged, or you keep it at tier 2 for now and only build on Arm, say, once a day. Rust developers choose the later, because with their commit traffic they can’t afford such delays.

As the build machines capacity increases arm macOS will be promoted to Tier 1. Don’t read too much into tiers. Tier 2 is still pretty well supported from a language user perspective. Julia situation is pretty much the same.

I'm guessing it will be an expensive keyboard. As such, HN is probably the best market because we will be the early adopters, and our colleagues will see our awesome new thing and perhaps also want one.

Dropbox is a very useful thing for most people, and it's not expensive. That's a very different scenario than this keyboard+HN.
I'm curious about how this is handled in the Linux world.

For example, how does Debian handle this? Debian has testing, then it freezes and it moves to stable.

- Debian 9 (Buster) was released in July 2019 [1]
- Debian 9 is LTS supported until June 30, 2024 [2]

Looking, it seems 12.0 was released in December 11, 2018 [3]. From a note on the Wikipedia page,

> The timeline shows that the span of a single release generation of FreeBSD lasts around 5 years

So comparing against Debian looks like a fair comparison.

Accounts vary, but the chip shortage looks like it will end up costing the auto industry ~~$10 billion in profits. If any major automaker could "just build a fab" - in the sense of "the physics & engineering of ~90nm chip manufacture are pretty simple & cheap, so $250M and 6 months will get us a good-enough fab", then at least one automaker (or A-list supplier) would have done so. If a new fab paid for itself 10X or more before the backlog cleared - no sane CFO would much care whether it was worth keeping open after that.

(Edit: Yes, trying to read things in a different way - "weird quantum artefacts" at 3nm have nothing whatever to do with the automakers' problems.)

(Edit2: Here is the point which I was originally trying to make: "Chip manufacturing, even at 3nm x ~30 = ~90nm, is still extremely difficult. That fact is a big part of why the automakers did not attempt chip manufacturing, even at ~90nm.")

The effort, run from the mid-1950s through to the late 70s by a unit in London that was part of the Foreign Office, was focused on cold war enemies such as the Soviet Union and China, leftwing liberation groups and leaders that the UK saw as threats to its interests

The campaign also sought to mobilise Muslims against Moscow, promoting greater religious conservatism and radical ideas. To appear authentic, documents encouraged hatred of Israel.

Recently declassified British government documents reveal hundreds of extensive and costly operations.
Yeah, this is for a home connection.
a rather old opinion: the race for thinness in Apple design has been over for, like, 3-5 years now? They hit a local maxima and also learned when they went too far. Now products, like MacBook Pros and iPad Pros, are returning to a bit more of their "ideal" sizes.
They key is who is offering the higher price and is there a pattern. A company with a dominant market position can use the resources that flows from said dominance to keep out competitors.

It was nearby. The class of NeXTSTEP, Win2k, SGI, and aspects of the Amiga/MacOS9 around the turn of the century are some of the best computing interfaces ever made.

Intuitive, direct, consistent, easy to learn & use. Labels concise. Apps respected system themes with the exception of a few "skinz" media players, and they were even customizable! Gentlemen, we have the technology.

I'd prefer one of these with the addition of modern niceties like menu search. Mate is close, but it is slowly rotting via GTK3/4 from the bottom up. I.e. the Disks app on a 4k monitor is a mess.
No, because people will expect to send emails to other people who do not use your system, and also get emails from them.

Email is already a protocol, you are creating a different system.

> Jarrett Walker, who’s a transportation planner, talks about how the problem here is not a technological one, but a geometric one. We only have so much space in our communities in our cities. A new technology doesn’t change that.

Yep. Technology can't solve the inherent space inefficiencies. The flaws are baked in from the premise.

Any improvement in the car is effectively an exercise in continuing to do the wrong thing, but better. It doesn't matter if it's electric or self driving, there are still so many core flaws.
>>Like, it's not unusual for the state to make more in sales tax from an order than we're taking in margin

>Is that supposed to be notable or surprising?

Well, specifically, I was responding to the absurd claim that someone "resells to the government for double the price".

But more generally, yes, I think it's pretty surprising that the government should get a greater cut of the sale than we, the sellers, do. Is there some way that the state and local government is creating more value, or contributing more to the transaction, than we are?
The trouble with that image isn't that it is low quality but that it is creepy.

The feeling I get from it is that this is a place where you get sexually harassed by somebody with no legs and in the next room over a pedophile is grooming kids. It's a predictable reaction to those dead eyes. (e.g. it's a common "code" in anime that a pedophile character is drawn with dead eyes)

There is a second order of creepiness in that this is chosen as a promotional image. I do know there will be another Zuckerberg interview where he complains about how he his "misunderstood", but it's not clear to me if this a result of Zuckerberg being surrounded by "Yes Men" or if Zuckerberg gets this feedback but is so devoid of empathy that he can't hear it. Those dead eyes tell the story.
The main reason TDD hasn't caught on is there's no evidence it makes a big difference in the grand scheme of things. You can't operationalize it at scale either. There is no metric or objective test that you can run code through that will give you a number in [0, 1] that tells you the TDDness of the code. So if you decide to use TDD in your business, you can't tell the degree of compliance with the initiative or correlation with any business metrics you care about. The customers can't tell if the product was developed with TDD.

Short of looking over every developer's shoulder, how do you actually know the extent to which TDD is being practiced as prescribed? (red, green, refactor) Code review? How do you validate your code reviewer's ability to identify TDD code? What if someone submits working tested code; but, you smell it's not TDD, what then? Tell them to pretend they didn't write it and start over with the correct process? What part of the development process to you start to practice it? Do you make the R&D people do it? Do you make the prototypers do it? What if the prototype got shipped into production?

Because of all this, even if the programmers really do write good TDD code, the business people still can't trust you, they still have to QA test all your stuff. Because they can't measure TDD, they have no idea when you are doing it. Maybe you did TDD for the last release; but, are starting to slip? Who knows, just QA the product anyways.

I like his characterization of TDD as a technique. That's exactly what it is, a tool you use when the situation calls for it. It's a fantastic technique when you need it.
The other side of this is that card only businesses de facto discriminate (not in an illegal way, of course) against people who don't have/can't get cards. Not being able to buy a cup of coffee from one particular coffee shop might not seem like a big deal, but it sends a signal as to who is/isn't wanted in the shop. Further, if it becomes a trend and all coffee shops go card only, spreading to other business like grocery stores, etc., then it starts to be a problem.
Where I come from, unit-test-driven-development tends to be a waste of resources. The interfaces will change so much during development that anything you write initially is guaranteed to be torn up. The one exception is if you're writing an interface that crosses teams; for "ship your org chart" reasons, we not only can, but must assume that interface is stable enough to mock and test against (and a knife-fight is necessary if it isn't).

However, getting the client to agree that their design feature is satisfied by a specific set of steps, then writing software that satisfies that request, is a form of test-driven-development and I support it.
Sure, but that would be a very different kind of investment than the risk capital / venture capital investing in a startup. A stable and profitable company can (and often will) raise capital by loans, bonds, IPO or normal stock sale to investors outside of startupland on quite different terms and conditions.

And, crucially, a stable and a profitable company doesn't need investment even if it would benefit from it, it wouldn't fizzle out without investment or (obviously) it actually isn't stable or profitable.

I'm not sure any language, book, class etc. creates the empowerment. I work in several languages and frameworks, and I don't feel any more powerful than when I was working with Unix and K&R. I think it's deeper than that -- software is its own universe -- you run that universe within the limits set by logic. Hardware is similar but you have to buy things and they can die and they're not easily repaired. Software is "zero-cost" if you don't count your time and effort (!!) compared to other realms.
