I love QR code menus. My husband (who has terrible vision) also loves it, because he can zoom in and actually read them himself.

If you're lucky any specials of the day will also be on it, instead of having to scan the entire restaurant for hastily written signs. And in some restaurants things that are out of stock will be marked so on the website.
Thin Plastic/insulator may wear faster than metal - not that it should not also be used. Again socket design is a no true scotsman - recessing the socket (https://www.legrand.com/ecatalogue/media/catalog/product/cac...) could be claimed to fix the issue for all of them, but that does not disallow flat sockets or male to male. An alternative is to have the ground shaped as the circular conductor acting as the (plastic) insulator surrounding one or both terminals.
I share the feeling, however I would point out C++23 as the last version, I think the ecosystem will still make it that far, afterwards is as you point out.

Still, look at Fortran, Cobol, C, as examples of 50 - 60 old languages that aren't leaving us anytime soon.
The thing about Amazon is that they have proven that they are willing to operate at a loss for as long as it takes to destroy their competition and take a monopoly on the market (diapers.com, etc.)

Not sure about reliability of battery swapping. First thing is that one needs now 2 batteries per car while one battery is being charged somewhere. It’s technically hard problem to connect and disconnect 1000s of cycles coolant lines and thick wires to the very bulky and heavy object. While it works nicely in the demos with new cars it brings huge problems in the reality after couple years.
Our WireGuard mode is entirely user space and works on all operating systems mitmproxy runs on. :)
Isn’t this actually supported as „axis titles“? https://chartscss.org/components/axes/#axis-title
I‘d pick neither and just let the system in possession of data send with the event only the part of data it owns (i.e. something in between fat and thin). Saves API call back, the body doesn’t have to be fully deserialized, so no format coupling, the rest can be fetched from other services on demand (coherent state though is not guaranteed, but that’s usually not critical with well designed bounded contexts).
I don’t think it’s about the hemispheres, but about outsourcing. The developers I know who work for outsourcing companies are the less skilled devs I know. Also the pay is lower and the conditions are worse. Zero incentives to become better at your job. Working for a product company is a game changer.
A united Arabia was never on the cards in the post Ottoman era - British and French imperial interests would never allow it. Consequent efforts to unify the arab nations created by British / French have also been thwarted, not in the interests of the West to see Arab unity
Maybe because there’s a bug in your statements. You use “no bugs” and “less bugs” to describe the same point.

For small projects I just have all the errors emailed to my inbox, along with the user id.

I then use luckyorange so I can review what the user was doing on the UI to trigger the error.
My old car has a navigation thing that pops up out of the dashboard. It's not a touchscreen: all control of that is by a four-way button plus a confirm and an exit button on the back of the steering wheel.

The new car has a big flashy touchscreen, but there's no way to interact with it without taking a hand off the wheel and looking down below the dashboard line.

I don't know why they can't at least add button-based navigation to the UI.
More interestingly, modern ASICs run their logic at something like 1V (I don't know the exact voltage of this particular one of course), so the current going into the actual chip (after voltage downconversion on the board) is hundreds of amperes.
Sadly, I grew up in the era of 'Stranger Danger' (this may be a uniquely UK thing, I'm not sure) which advocated entirely the opposite and, imo, discouraged an entire generation from interacting with those they didn't already know.

Comments like this make me wonder just how divergent peoples outlook on life are.

I’m with the guy you responded too, making a billionaire lose money is way funnier and interesting.

But even in a normal company, I never really understood this loyalty/ethics thing.

To me, it makes sense to do the very, very bear minimum and “steal” as much time as possible. So you can use it for your self.

A job is you selling time to someone else. It’s simply incomprehensible to me someone would willingly give extra of their time. Equally not attempted to claw back as much as their time as possible.

I suppose there’s an element of game theory, there are points in time where it’s worth to go that extra mile to achieve something that will put you in a better position, but those are the exceptions not the rule.

Not judging you, I’m glad people like you are out there. My life is better due to people like you and I am thankful for that. But, yeah, I guess I’m just fascinated at the differences in outlook.
UK sockets are fused (in the general case) - only the circuits and plugs are.

Also, of all the standards, it seems to me that UK plugs are the easiest to be sure are fully plugged in?
Words change; terminology changes; language changes. It is the way of things.

In that sense I think "straight quotes" are fine too, although “smart quotes” arguably look a bit nicer, but that's a matter of personal taste IMO.

I was wondering where you'd get that from, and then I remembered that you're probably american so your baseline is only 1800W, in which case... yeah that's true. If you're installing a really powerful PC in the US you probably want either a dedicated circuit or a 20A circuit (or both).

Touché. That's a great comment and I've upvoted you for it!

That makes as much as saying "they were people, not welders!" They were people, but most of us are people. The (not very) interesting thing is that they were people who were walking lamps.
Depends on how many GPUs are in the PC. Circa 2011 I had quad-Radeon 6970 machines pulling ~1000w each from 1200 watt power supplies, measured with a kill-a-watt.

Those machines ran 24/7 for at least 36 months before I had to start servicing stuff like GPU fans and heat sinks.

This stuff can be designed NOT to melt the dang 6 pin 12v rail
Not really, since the sharia-based Islamic Court Union that briefly established control over the Mogadishu region in 2006 in between the "Transitional Federal Government" periods was separate both conceptually and geographically from somewhat-secular Somali clan law in Somaliland/Puntland that Van Notten wrote about.

(And much as there's a certain school of thought that's determined to make literally everything about the USA, I suspect the 30,000 Ethopian troops invading in support of the TFG had more impact on the ICU's collapse - and subsequent assimiliation into the new government - than anything the CIA or Bush government did)

If you split salt into sodium and chlorine, and use the sodium for batteries, what do you do with the chlorine?
Now you can automate your status updates
> Isn't lithium mineral the main cost in building these batteries?

No, and I have no idea why anyone would think that. Raw material costs are generally not that significant, most costs in manufacturing come from labor and capital.

The lithium in a $15000 75kWh battery pack costs around $1600 at current prices. There is a lot of room for the price to fall even with rising raw material costs, as manufacturing gets more efficient and capacity is built out.

And also, rising raw material prices will cause production to expand, which will eventually push prices back down.

I'm definitely pro-EV. As soon as it's practical for us I'll get one. However, I do worry that there are so many dimensions to optimising EV batteries (degradation, fast charge / discharge, stability, temperature tolerance, weight, cubic volume and price) that we might not be able to find anything that really changes the game. By which I mean a doubling of capacity, so 200kwh easily in a car, by my maths that's what we need to keep a light van (3.5t say) busy for a whole shift. Or in my case to tow a caravan 300 miles.
No, but Go doesn't use a JIT anyway.
After a while you realize it's a lot more productive to throw customer acquisition and business models around rather than product ideas.
> Blames are easy. There's zero need to try to keep your tree "looking nice".

I don't care about how the tree looks like. But I do care about keeping the number of commits low _because_ it makes blames easier.

> In the future when I'm hunting down a problem I almost never care about what feature or fix this was a part of - e.g. the PR - I care entirely about the context of the developers mind when he committed that specific line of code.

I've mostly made the opposite experience. Many developers don't have the knowledge or confidence to use "amend" etc. consciously, so it leads to a mass of useless "fix error", "forgot something", "add tests" and "implement PR reviews" commits. This makes blame more difficult. I also agree: sometimes a squashed commit message doesn't help me understand the code of line I'm blaming. But not having squashed the commit mostly wouldn't help me anyway. Instead, I try to avoid this problem beforehand, by making sure that the PR itself contains all the information (via PR description and/or code comments). Recently I've reviewed a "Fix scrollbar" PR. The "what" is clear. The "why" (= "it's broken") _sounds_ sufficient, but I was missing information like "how exactly is it broken" and "why does this change fix it". That's the kind of stuff I might blame in a year from now, and now it's part of the Git history.
It’s interesting how many people swore this was impossible.
Tablet ordering has been common in Japan for years. Usually they're bolted to the table with a locked charging cable.
Realised I should have provided some reference (and too late to edit my initial post). On an en-Intl Mac keyboard:

“ = option + [

” = option + shift + [

‘ = option + ]

’ = option + shift + ]

There’s a few others I use regularly as well:

… = option + ;

– (en dash) = option + -

— (em dash) = option + shift + -

Then there’s a bunch of accent meta keys, so you can use option + c for façade, option + e, e for fiancé, and option + u, i for naïve.
Yes 100%. This reminds me of bees or fireflies. They have algorithms that individuals follow which can cause the collective to behave in a certain way. We should definitely create something like that.

You can't rely on spoken signals, mainly because of other noise and broken phone effect. Something like raising your hands and crossing them could work. People who are close to the crush will quickly agree and raise their hands, so it's unlikely that one troll could make a false alarm since you would need maybe ~30 or so people to get the signal started. This signal could propagate through a huge crowd in just a minute or two.

Initially I thought about drones with arrows and loudspeakers but it seems a bit too niche of a usecase to have a swarm of drones for. Also doesn't quite work in all conditions.

I had a lot of mini crush experiences in primary school. Students holding doors for fun and everyone trying to push through. People jumping on top of each other and making human piles. I think these are all good experiences to understand how crowds work, even at small scales. I think schools could teach this kind of protocol and practice it. It's also important that this doesn't cause a mass panic and a stampede so drills are necessary.
It already makes much more sense the ICE cars. And we had those for a long time.
It looks really nice, but may I ask why it's a Chrome extension? Seems to me that one of the habit people might try to kick is "goofing around on the internet", so adding the habit tracker to the browser is counter productive.

Still it looks awesome.

I mean, yeah? If I personally started launching ships to orbit and landing them, I would gain a lot of relevance too.

The point is, somehow SpaceX is able to do things Blue can’t. Combined with Tesla being able to do things other automakers can’t, it seems there’s a common factor.
Your car doesn't have to know about the "chemistry" of your battery. It just needs to know specifics about voltages and power draw and temperatures. This is what drivers do.

This is like suggesting that my computer can't go from AMD to nvidia because they would need to know deep specifics about AMD's proprietary chips to support them. But that's what drivers are for!
How many people do you think would join a Twitter clone founded by a sore loser from the dregs of the old company?

None, and no. I appreciate the chuckle though.
Lots of Apple ads in there. One for Power Macintosh and one for Messagepad 2000 (that I had never heard of / or I forgot about it).

Also, the ads tell a story of a consumer world that has changed since then. From professional life focused (back then) to indulgence and quick consumption focused now. Maybe WIRED knew their audience back then, and have a wider one on the internet now..
After a certain level of wealth, most assets are financial and liquid cash becomes a vanishingly small part of total wealth.

Article says: "Talking to strangers can teach you things, deepen you, make you a better citizen, a better thinker, and a better person. It's a good way to live. But it's more than that. In a rapidly changing, infinitely complex, furiously polarised world, it's a way to survive."

"The study participants who interacted when buying their coffee reported feeling a stronger sense of belonging and an improved mood than those who didn't talk to the stranger."
I know many people who are much better travelled than I am but lack any real knowledge of the countries they have visited.

In larger companies this is rarely your decision to make and in three different issue tracker migrations I've seen the team responsible for maintaining the issue tracker instead to keep the old tracker in a read only state until they either have to renew the vendor contract or make security updates, at which point the issues go down the drain. This may all have happened before you joined, so it's not likely you could have done the migration yourself (and the security team may have disabled generating API keys which automated migration tools need, anyway)
The bit you seem to be missing is the events are the source of truth, not the databases.

Lose your database? Roll up all the events. Got a lot of them? Take snapshots and then roll up from the last trusted snapshot.

In true event sourced systems, the databases and stateful systems are artefacts that can be thrown away and rebuilt. The event log is the actual “true” database.

Once you design around that, your objections melt away.

And if you think this is some faddish trend, this is how finance has worked since the invention of book keeping and how your databases under your stateful services are working under the hood.

The problem is what used to be a 1 in 100 occurance is now 1 in 10 thanks to climate change. The market had a change, and caused this - the externalities of the market driven process which drove carbon emissions over the last 150 years (and one that Texas specifically benefitted massively from) were not borne by those that benefited.
As always, it depends. Yay engineering and trade-offs.

Hey just remember: both is always an option if you're consumers disagree. Thin stream from the consumers who don't trust the fat data, fat stream for the event log and other consumers that prefer it.
The weirdest of the many, many crazy takes is that using TSLA people to review TWTR code is a "conflict of interest". As obviously stupid and blatantly "I'm going to us a phrase that I've heard but don't understand" as that is, I've seen multiple people make this claim.
This is great advice, surprised I don’t hear the time vs attention argument more.
That's taking action to prevent errors of the same kind. My, poorly expressed, point was that all forensic analysis needs to be held to a defined and agreed quality standard. And both quality assurance and quality control should be applied to such things to ensure that the standard is met.

Gasoline is not in itself an incendiary bomb, it has a specific meaning:

— it burns for a long time
- it resists suppression

If you want gasoline to meet the definition you have to make napalm out of it.
2 batteries per car is assuming everyone is charging at the same time. In reality there are people driving their cars while batteries are being charged and new batteries being built. The batteries charge time efficiency over time also plays a role as infrastructure scales.

I wouldn't be surprised if we will see this tech in the US soon. Especially after we get back to a somewhat normal business environment with China. Next election I hope. Consumers win when they have more choice.
Sure. When was the last time you had to store gasoline in your residence though? Do you have to manage fuel storage on your person to power devices? Does Amazon have to send you a box with petrol in it when you order a laptop? There is infrastructure around petrol and designated places to contain it and dispense it. We don't have that yet with battery power. Most people just ignore the X with the trash can on the device and dump batteries in the garbage. I don't know about you, but people where I live have to go out of their way to find a place to drop off their old batteries responsibly, and I think I am the only person I know who does.
So now the maintainer must follow the order of the crow. What if the proposals are not in the maintainer vision or just bad? Can s/he fork the project? Is the DAO going to sue?

It looks like an idea for one time funding. That pays the bills the first years luckily. The second year the 90% of the users will be already in the DAO. Is everyone going to pay again? Are the new 10% going to pay more to compensate the small number? Are the new shares proportional to the money?

There are many applications that try to act as a shopping cart and a kind of cloud electronic cash register for the restaurant. Which sounds like a great idea. But in many places, especially during the (QR-code menu) pandemic, I came across to some QR codes, requiring you to download an application. Unfortunately, the application itself is just a PDF viewer with built-in ads. You still call the waiter to order, you still use POS to pay. Nothing has changed in the process of ordering food but I installed a really shitty PDF viewer with ads at the bottom and the top of the menu, also before and after every interaction. Immediately left the restaurant but still. Why all the hassle?
Thank you for helping me recognize that the hellhole I'd previously worked in in my first software dev job out of college was a SAFe gig. I'd referred to it a lot as "weaponized agile" (which I believe it is), but somehow I hadn't connected the dots of my middle manager casually mentioning safe to the inane, almost preschooler level of sticker-award-insult that strips away developers abilities to, well, do what they've spent their career learning to do and instead "gives them the ability" to "pick their own team names (and we can name our epics in a theme! :") )" (insert gratuitous "yay"s, clapping, and suggestions of how fun it will be).

This helps paint a lot of things in retrospect a lot more clearly. As you can see, I am still intensely salty about this experience many years later. >:')
I don't need to rideshare, but still do, just for the conversations with random strangers.

Sadly it appears that for girls, ridesharing can be creepy if you do it without a boyfriend. This is not only anecdata from friends and familly: the app i use made a change a few years ago to propose "girls only" rideshare. Which is sad, but fair.
