> Sigh, another article focusing on Tesla battery fires when it is a common failure mode to most of not all EVs.

The question is, why can these fires happen? It's one thing if a pack goes on a thermal runaway after mechanical damage, such as after a collision or when a building collapses on a car. But ordinary water ingress? Why don't battery packs have waterproof seals and high-current transistors that only provide power to the battery pack's port when requested to do so by the car's ECU?

In case that these are easy to fix (or at least, cheap to integrate parts) construction deficits, car makers should absolutely be held accountable.
The internal ECC of DDR5 is not good enough. Its only purpose is to restore the reliability of DDR5 to the level of DDR4, despite having smaller cells and higher throughput.

The only useful ECC for the user is the one computed in the memory controller inside the CPU, stored in the DRAM and verified after returning to the memory controller.

This allows the CPU to be aware of any error and it also corrects or detects the errors caused by electrical noise on the PCB traces or by bad memory sockets, not only those caused by bit flips inside the memory cells.
how can you even police that? is there security monitoring this or something?

what about hybrid electrics that use li-on. what about ebikes?
The enterprise culture is why I left. C# + Visual Studio remains the most productive combo I’ve worked with, though. I just can’t see myself going back, due to the culture. Also, I’m a VIM and Linux guy now, and hope to never run Windows again. .NET was not a first class experience in VIM the last time I tried.
General steps -

1. First, disassociate. Most of the time, rejection is about the subject (doing the rejection) being closed to something new rather than some notion of the object (of the rejection) being undesirable.

2. Gain confidence in the object. Understand that the object has its own merits. The object isn't undesirable, rather, you're looking for subjects who appreciate what the object has to offer. That a given subject doesn't appreciate the object, has no bearing on the object. Move on and find other potential subjects.

3. As potential subjects polarize and reject the object for reasons that are to be expected - because the object is what it is, and does not attempt to be what is not - recognize rejection as an affirmation of the object's qualities.

Most of the loop between (2) and (3) is about improving the clarity of communication, such that subjects do not make mistaken rejections, either because (a) the values of the object are not clear to the subjects or (b) the unsuitability of the subject is not clear to the object.

> actions informed by their software

Yes, informed. The output of this software, and Zillow's algorithms, is only information that still needs to be applied to the real world ("the market"). The algorithms just provide information that wasn't as easy to access before.

It's like saying that Google is responsible for higher rents/prices because it allows landlords/homeowners to easily access and analyze market data. I don't think so.

> in practice it seems that the most effective ways to obtain massive amounts of wealth contain fair amounts of corruption, fraud and swindle.

I don't think this is true. It may make for a comfortable story to tell ourselves, but I think if we examine the data, it would show that the most effective way to obtain - and maintain - massive amounts of wealth involves a lot of hard work, producing value, and yes, even a fair helping of luck.

> There isn't a single billionaire in history that hasn't been eventually revealed to have done terrible things to gain, keep or increase their wealth, most of which could be argued to bring more harm to the society than the value that was brought in the first place.

This seems more like observation bias to me. Could you not also say that a mugger or drug dealer has done terrible things to gain, keep or increase their wealth? I can understand there is a common desire to hold wealthy people to higher moral standards than "normal" people - but that seems both unrealistic and ethically misguided. I'm not saying they should have no accountability, only that we should recognise that if given the opportunity, most people would behave the same or worse.

Further, I wouldn't necessarily concede that the assertion that all or most billionaires have done terrible things to gain, keep or increase their wealth is true. Certainly some have, but most have not. I think it's also worth recognising that wealthy people have an entire set of problems that is not often discussed - they are constant targets of fraudsters and con artists. Think how that might affect one's outlook and interactions.

It's not politics, but economics. Near textbook perfect price discrimination (market segmentation) by a profit-maximizing quasi-monopoly (Intel) to extract the maximum surplus out of consumers.

A little late to the party, but my biggest regret is not making choices earlier in life. Always had many interests. In high school I did many extra extracurricular activities, I was programming at a local software company, I played piano in a band, I took guitar lessons because wanted to be a rock guitarist, started 3 studies in university, etc etc. It caused a lot of stress, and I never was really good at any of these.

Everyone always says you have to think about your what you want to do in life, but equally important is what not to spend time on. You can't have it all. If you want everything you end up with nothing.

Although I'm doing fine at the moment I see old friend having advanced further in their careers, due to focus, less stress and becoming really good at something. I kind of regret not giving my life direction in the past, choosing something and go for it.
> That works well for about two weeks until users figure out how to exploit this. They form groups that agree to coordinate to report content. Now reports become lower signal than before, but still somewhat useful. We use the reports, but try to limit exploitation.

What about human employees reviewing users reports, especially randomly picked samples from those that resulted in successful takedowns. If the content was found to be sound under the rules, penalise the reporters. Suspend their ability to make reports (probably in the form of silently ignoring them).

Ie some human moderation should still be done at this scale, but using a combo of random sampling and system-flagged-suspicious.

>To characterize the US invasion of Afghanistan as “unbridled aggression” is a gross misrepresentation to the point of being a sign of unreasonable partisanship

Americans are not typically aware of it (this is relevant to what I said about our provocations being downplayed), but the Taliban offered to hand UBL over if we supplied evidence of his guilt and put him on trial in a neutral country.

Meanwhile, if you take your righteous indignation about what I said about Afghanistan you will have a template of a rough idea of how the average Russian feels about Ukraine. Were you born in Russia your views would probably align.

> Does an unworthy Wikipedia bio page somehow harm anybody (aside from the hosting cost itself)?

Wikipedia is a massive repository of information. The more useless, irrelevant information is added to it, the harder it becomes to find relevant information, and to manage the repository as a whole. It's a pretty simple concept.

My first experience with the term “digital gardening” was in this adult swim commercial for “For Profit Online University”. In that context digital gardeners were basically people given jobs on Mechanical Turk. Ive used the term with my friends over the last decade to describe any sort of endless digital grind-like toil. New crypto games come to mind. (So does Animal Crossing…)

> Objects in higher orbits are slower than objects at lower altitudes

You are right. My point still stands. On collision debris might have significantly different velocities than the original objects thus have different orbits.

> One satellite smashing into another would not add sufficient energy to the debris to alter its speed significantly.

I think that's completely dependant on the mass of the specific particle of debris. The smaller the particle, the larger possible speed change attainable in a messy collision.

I'd really prefer that there was some scientific study simulating possible results of impact between two SpaceX satellites. Because there's non-zero chance of that happening. For example if there are some errors during the deployment of new batch.
No sleeping parents or children have been killed by an EV fire in a garage.

Bad logic like that (painting a picture instead of citing data) is precisely why people flip out about sub-noise signals like this (four cars burned in the course of a huge regional hurricane that destroyed whole tracts of suburban homes).
But I think the point should be to get at least a taste of either end of every one of those continuums, so that you get a broad overview of what kinds of problems are well suited to different sets of tradeoffs. For another silly example, see the difference between rust’s collect and using generators in Python. Same end result with very different semantics.

Without this, there’s a risk that the “learning” is just tunneling in on your own pre-existing prejudices (insert hammer-nail metaphor here).
It’s true, but it’s not like other markets where someone can choose not to buy and additional sellers can come in, to make sure that prices are in some ways tied to costs. Here, everybody has to live somewhere, so by default you have a “naked short” position on housing. Efficient price discovery here is performing a short squeeze and finding the point of “maximum you can afford to pay without going broke”, which is only possible to reach with price collusion.

> France is a democracy, you don't need to be in the governement to have an influence.

Real influence is when a party is part of the government, has ministers, etc. Like the greens in Germany.

Just see the difference renewable energy for electricity production in France is at 20%. In Germany it's currently at around 50%.

If the 'greens' had any influence in France, this influence is not very visible in the results.

> I do agree that those tremendous renewable investments went poorly though.

The investments in nuclear went much worse: half of the reactor fleet is offline and more than a hundred billion Euros is needed for this fleet just to keep it running and replace some of these aging reactors. No wonder EDF is nationalized, with huge debt and billions of more needed - a normal company would already be bankrupt.

> Renewable companies won't last 20 years without investments (that's the full lifetime of solar and wind turbines anyways...) and forced to sell electricity below production cost to their competitors.

Renewables are currently the cheapest source of electricity and its getting cheaper.

Nuclear is only getting more expensive. See the French nuclear power plant in UK (Hinkley Point C), which a very expensive way to produce electricity. Delayed. Cost increases.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/may/20/hinkley-poin...

The new cost increases are paid by the French tax payer.
It is also far, far more likely that an uncorrected bit flip happens outside the relatively small portion of time the kernel spends in filesystem code. This is not a ZFS-specific problem by any means.

If the headline said "EVs" instead of "Teslas" it would get less clicks.
Local metro put in a light rail line years ago through an area with the expectation that it would re-invigorate those neighborhoods and cause more housing to be built. For years, there was very little movement; existing rents and land values along the line were too low for anyone to bother building additional dense housing. This failure, among others, became a talking point among those who have tried to stall building additional lines.

Now, with the metro in an acute housing crunch, rents have gone up enough that investors are finally building more housing along the light rail line. What are they building? Small, chic apartments geared towards young people. It's not really the sort of thing that fosters strong communities, as anyone who wants to start a family is unlikely to stay there long term.

There's really only two outcomes I see: housing prices stabilize at marginally affordable at best, or the "character" they are trying to go for disappears not long after the housing bubble pops, and the area becomes blighted.

All of this is to say that there are market-driven price floors on housing that aren't easy to shift. The "just build housing" mantra might be over-estimating the extent to which people are willing to accept prices going down. There's better ways to make money elsewhere for the people you expect to do the building and management after a certain point.
No if the place burns down and there's an EV of any kind in there then they don't pay out. Covers explicitly eBikes and hybrids as well.

NHS vendor won’t say if patient data was stolen during ransomware attack
Seems like it’s real easy for them to assert something very like monopoly or cartel-like price manipulations on behalf of landlords without even doing so deliberately. Once enough people use your product it’s easy to make a claim like “raises average rent by X%” and have it be a self-fulfilling prophecy simply by virtue of tweaking the algorithm to favor increases regardless of market fundamentals and competition.
Fast file synchronization and network forwarding for remote development
Stars are important but not the only metric I rely upon.

Time of latest commit, number of open issues, forks, and pull requests, and number of contributors are important as well. The level of documentation is also important.

I use a lot of open source packages because often times I don’t want to spend a few hours rebuilding the wheel, like building a client library for something. If I find some that meets my criteria, I can be solving actual problems sooner.

When something doesn’t exist or is supported, it’s important to contribute either by raising an issue or filing a PR.

Work with your garage door open
To be frank you've already committed the classic blunder of developer initiated startups. You built before you sold. Now there's no telling if what you built is what anyone wants.

IMHO, and extrapolating a lot here it's very unlikely you will get any sale based off your MVP. It's unlikely that you've hit the right market fit without first having found customer #1.

So I'd back up a step and find someone with the problem you're trying to solve. Offer the deal of a custom built solution to meet their need. Once that's built and validated that it actually solves the problem then start selling to others.
It's worth pointing out that we managed to make cars for over a hundred years that didn't go even a little bit on fire if you got them wet.

I agree with your sentiment about REPL's, but there are two use cases where they're very useful.

1. When you need to explore behavior.

For example, C# has slicing syntax now. MyString[..15]. What happens when the string is only 8 characters long? Lets hit the REPL and find out.

2. Poking at systems using the same code as the rest of the codebase. For example, RoR. Being able to load up the RoR framework and poke at the ActiveRecord objects can be hugely helpful for tracking down an issue.
