>> You are spot on. I am not stopping him from doing that. This makes me feel much better. Thanks.

If you want to go this route, letting them move on while you do something else, you have a major consideration. You own a giant chunk, maybe even a majority, of the equity. That can make it hard for them to be motivated, hard for them to make legal decisions, hard to get investments, etc. Consider selling (or giving if you really think it is worthless) enough to the partner you are leaving behind so that they can succeed. Or just make it easy to dilute you (I assume it's a tax question which is better).

If you do, feel free to make it fair to you as well. Maybe you get to use some code in another project in a dual-use situation? Maybe your cofounder vests the chance to buy your stock over a few years so he doesn't just cut you out and then pocket everything as it dissolves? Retain a fair amount of equity for the work you already did.
Hi anaganisk,
Thanks for your comment,
I just mentioned fronted devs as an example but I'm not sure why you consider them as the last people?
This is magical thinking. Eventually those people burn out.
>But honestly, in 2022 it's kind of up to you to know how to scan a QR code, the same way you're expected to know how to type a domain name into a web browser.

Why? I've literally never been in a situation where I've had to scan a QR code. I do mean never.

What benefit does a system like this provide when it's always clunkier than just having a physical object?

On an unrelated note, isn't this why all the scan-this-QR-code ads fall flat? Because it takes a lot of extra effort to actually "check out more info"?
As an actual TSLA stock owner, I'm ok with this. It's a pretty trivial amount of work in the grand schema of things and it will probably be compensated to Tesla in some way.
This is a variation on the "splitting cake" - one child cuts the cake, the other has first pick.
Hi Aeolun,
Thanks for your comment.
Cheap divorce?

cash is the normal tipping mechanism, universally accepted all around the world.
I agree. It's much better to just have all of the key info inline. If I look at the commit history of a file, there's going to be such a mess of irrelevant commit messages to the issue I'm looking at that it's hardly worth spending the time trying to find if the info is there.
> About 80% of office workers do a full 40 hour week.

avearges are averages.

The average hours worked per week in the U.S. was 38.7 hours as of 2021. Men worked an average of 40.5 hours per week

so comparing a salary in US using hour rates, can lead to a very different result in Sweden.
Slight criticism of capitalism == dedicated against capitalism?
All pickups I've seen have reverse lights built into the third brake light which is behind the cab above the bed.

And with that it makes sense as a safety feature - if the only way to turn those on is go into reverse, people would be tempted to throw the truck in reverse and leave the parking brake on while they jump in the back to look for something. Unfortunately it seems not all of them are locked out as I've seen trucks driving on the freeway with the reverse lights on.
Agree that they change buttons and UI too often, this should be a more gradual process, or they should offer a choice to move to new UI.

They do ask if you want to update now or wait + tell you that the car won’t be available for x amount of minutes.
> and far better than handing my credit card to a server to get lost or cloned.

Holy heck! People do still give their credit cards to strangers to dissapear with? I last saw that in the 90's (Europe).
I don't think the code review involves counting the lines. A reviewer can distinguish hundreds of lines of boilerplate from a non-trivial few lines change.
Less cars on the road solves traffic jams. Not more roads.
Traffic jams are insane, we see a single person sitting alone in a 3+ ton box idling his time and instead of seeing how absurd it is, we want to make bigger roads for more almost empty boxes.
Nuts.
The solution to traffic jams is excellent public transportation and last mile mobility. Not more roads and definitely not tunnels.
And updates could totally be cancellable... Nearly every device has an "A" and "B" firmware stored, and therefore if you need to drive away during an update they could just stop the update and reboot every device back to the old firmware that's already stored and you'd be good to drive in 10 seconds.
> Okay, if you think having dinner while talking about cancer research is bribery, let me find you an even more bare bones example.

wait

Didn't you go from lobbying (getting a dinner specifically to discuss and convince):

> Lets say a lobbyist for a nonprofit cancer research group has dinner with a representative and lobbies him to vote for increased cancer research at this dinner. Is this bribery?

to having dinner and talking cancer research en passant:

> having dinner while talking about cancer research

With that being said, these matters are supposed to be debated on a parliament's floor and an elected parliament member should have his stance about cancer research in his program, that's what he sold/promised to people who voted for them.
You can do lots of crazy tricks.

Have a menu where you have to scroll horizontally to see the prices and then set them higher based on how indifferent the customer seems to be to look at them.

Have each table have a different qr code and then raise the prices if it's a large group on the premise that auditing will be more challenging.

There's a bunch of clever executions without even basic profiling.
Leaving aside the question of whether touchscreens make sense inside a car at all, I’m not sure how a control to open the glove box which is not situated on the actual glove box help? I mean, you probably opened the glove box to put something in or take something out. Once it is open, you would almost certainly physically reach inside it.
seen how the sausage is made, etc.
In this case, it would be your new boss asking to make a short presentation of your work, and he has trusted software devs who can smell bs a mile away.
If there was no obsession with registrations, it wouldn't have been a problem at all.

For the menu no app is needed, the places I go always open a web page menu(provided by a service specialising in this particular niche).

The payment could be completed through things like Apple Pay, per table basis. So you scan a QR code, it instantly opens a session for you and you can start ordering things and once you are done you close the session by paying through some payment processor.

Also, the technology to open apps with temporary sessions without installing the app exist both on iOS and Android but for some reason it never got popular.
Yes I am wondering if those are specific to Qualcomm. And we wont know until all the details are given. But from the POV of ARM, Qualcomm got Nuvia's license which was favourable to Startup, and Server Market. Qualcomm intend to use it on PC and Smartphone. Obviously ARM think the terms would be different but Qualcomm disagree.

The original article and other media keeps painting it as some sort of revenge for not allowing Nvidia buying ARM. I dont even see how the two comes together when regulations and other parties are at play as well.
Hi Toastal,
Exactly, PostgREST is one of the best ones out there.
My Pixel 3a also scans QR codes.
> without acknowledging the amount of good he has put forth.

and what that would be , exactly? Come on, list the good.
Presumably OP could warn the cop before opening the glove box that they have a gun there, so that the cop expects it instead of being startled by it.
I think it has something to do with "Memory Palace". You solve the same or similar problem in different contexts. There is something similar and something different about the problem in all these different contexts. While seeing the different parts you also see the similar parts and can see how those are connected other by the dissimilar parts.

It is like seeing a 3 dimensional object from multiple viewpoint. Some things change some stay the same. You understand and thus remember the thing better because you know it's "essence", what is the same about it always.
Toyota is alright. I've got a recent RAV4 without any of this nonsense.
The company just buys back the shares. It’s essentially a cash bonus.
Or a simpler setup would be a smoke detector that turns off a power strip when triggered.

Kind of like some 3d printers have.
I agree, but I do think that's kind of an imaginary enemy. I don't know that anyone said "All I do exclusively all year is fix trivial bugs in hacky or minimal ways". Probably what anyone does is a bit of this, a bit of new code writing, and a bit of new feature stuff.

That's essentially what I do. Sometimes bugs are quite mentally demanding to resolve, but a couple weeks of that begins to get really draining, so I try and move onto something more on the implementation side for a bit.
Hi Bbkane,
Thanks for your recommendations, I'll check it out!

There are many services that provide nice web menus for the restaurants to use with QR Codes. The terrible state of any restaurant menu would be only because the restaurant is not aware of the service and the service providers failed to market their product to them.
Let’s assume you have a strategy for the next 3 months. You identified / endivisioned a need in the market and came up with a reasonable solution; you locked in the budget, you allocated the resources. How many times are you going to change these in the 3 months?
I find this take to be totally
opposite to my way of thinking.

Surely doing things for fun is the most important part of life? That is, if you don’t enjoy doing something then doing that something is a much bigger waste of time than doing something you genuinely enjoy.

Are you suggesting the OP would be better off doing something boring or annoying or something he dislikes? Would you suggest to your children that they should do a job or work in a field they don’t enjoy?

The world is moved forward by people following their passions and interests, and I would argue that the OP is likely to advance his life AND career much faster by pursuing his passions than doing something he dislikes.
And the US leans southeast, also, all of Florida is south of California.
Just because some people's incentives are altruistic doesn't mean they don't act on incentives.

Most of us believes there's more to be done than people want to do out of their own good will, and that some things nobody will want to do without an incentive. (I bet garbage truck workers don't do it from being good people).

You might have the privilege of enjoying what you work for. So maybe take some time to realize that you're the outlier here.

By the way, your so called "democratic accountability" is up for sale by your media, and their so called projects are incredibly corrupt because they were bought. If you took some time to understand economism, maybe you'll realize why your Congress budget bills look like they do.
Angle grinders are surprisingly bad at cutting some materials. Thick plastics that become all melted and sticky and then catch fire are one of those.
Projects like Soul are a REST API wrapper around databases to allow devs easily start their projects without being so much concerned about doing backend stuff.
Pain is not suffering. Pain is a sensation. Suffering is the mental resistance to it that we add on ourselves, making our experience worse than necessary. Suffering is optional.
GM also has electronic primary door release mechanisms in their vehicles. So if the car has no power, you can’t open the doors from inside.

Granted, because of regulatory requirements there is STILL A MANUAL RELEASE… on the floor, near the chassis sill (and might be driver-seat only). So you save money going to electronic releases, but still have to put a manual one in anyways.

The glovebox is merely annoying (though I can think of edge case situations where it could lead to your death), but with the door release, there are documented instances where it HAS led to someone’s death: https://jalopnik.com/texas-man-and-his-dog-die-after-getting...
It's hard for people to understand because it's not all-or-nothing. There are plenty of "bred to be violent" dogs that will go their entire lives without doing so. People see that as proof that there's no increased risk, but that's not how statistics works.
About your middle paragraph: note that ASCII doesn't have left and right quotes; at 0x60 it has GRAVE ACCENT ` (not a left quote), and at 0x27 it has APOSTROPHE ' (not a right quote). Unfortunately for many years, fonts and terminals (like the SAIL ones you mentioned) continued to encourage abusing these characters as symmetric left- and right-quotes (as they were in some character sets pre-ASCII and even an early version of ASCII), despite their updated definitions.

See Markus Kahn's page at https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/quotes.html which explains it well. (Also: the one-page documentation (plus one page implementation) of the LaTeX “upquote” package: http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/upquote/upquote... )
Yeah,both CarPlay and Android Auto have wireless support these days.

You can buy wireless CarPlay/Auto USB dongles for cars that only support cable.

Their problem was using Go in first place, but since they didn't want to add a language to their knowledge pool, they went on with this "solution".

And we all know how fat Go binaries tend to be.
>If you care about the product you work on

I don't care about the products I work on. I don't own the product, I don't work for an NGO willing to change the world and the product would probably won't revolutionize the industry.

The product's only purpose is to make some people rich. And I don't care for it.

What I care about is being paid, learning, advancing my career and not being bored to death while I work.

So I do quality work because of that. I don't enjoy fixing bugs (some people do), so if I can avoid fixing bugs, I'm happier. I also try to ship as least bugs as possible and I test my code before pushing it. The code has to pass an QA cycle so I will fix my bugs if any. But if some bug is coming from production I'd rather pass on it and take on a feature instead.
Imagine if you printed off your code and ended up with only a few pages of paper you’d fee pretty silly and may quit from embarrassment

Just a thought nothing to back up this claim
“Objection, Your Honor. The question assumes facts not in evidence.”

Neither my comment nor the comment to which I was replying made any claim about the reliability of Elon’s statements, my beliefs on that subject, or the effects of Elon’s actions on my beliefs.
You can also just turn them off completely. IIRC Android also does it by default. It's one of the first things I look for on a new device, along with disabling haptic feedback and stupid sound effects.
> Fraud on credit cards from theft or merchants incorrectly billing is also far more protected in the US than in most any European country, and probably most other countries as well.

It’s a common comment from Americans, but is misleading at the very least.

I have never even heard of a fraudulent transaction that was not reversed almost immediately, and I have been living in 3 EU countries (well, one of them ex-EU now). The procedure is: call the bank, notify them, they suspend the card and send you a new one (usually for free once a year or so, for about €20 after that). Usually they call you before you notice it; they are very good at spotting this.

It’s the same thing for card-present fraud: you have some time to declare your card lost or stolen, and all the transactions after the time you lost it are reversed. Your liability is €50 for the transactions that happened before you called them, and nothing afterwards.

I am willing to believe that consumer protection is better in the US for some specific aspects, but I am yet to see relevant examples.
good luck might be the most important part :)
It may sound strange but UX is main reason why I drive mazda. I have no other requirements (besides basic safety).
I very recently reacted the same copy/pasted code that was in in 7 files, each one had 6 touch points of 5 lines each, and the touch points were 50-300 lines as part. Would be a lot of paper for what had been a 30 minute exercise. I cantquite how to picture going over that diff on paper. The time wasted doing so seems sad, as do the natural resource waste (which tends to make me think the guy got into electric cars because it was cool and had an open market opportunity rather than ecological reasons - but that is a very random aside)
I keep seeing people say that Musk had little to do with SpaceX's technical side, and I wonder where this meme (in the original Dawkins sense of the word) is coming from.

If you watch the EverydayAstronaut interviews with Musk it shows that he has a deep understanding of the engineering tradeoffs and design reasons for many components of the rocket, and in fact is being quite careful with what he can share due to not wanting to leak company secrets. In fact, some of the questions that were asked in the earlier interview were re-referenced in a later interview as having been considered and leading to design changes.

I think Musk is a smart engineering type who sees finance, PR, politics etc as just another engineering problem, with all the pros and cons that creates. He's had a ton of success in hard-tech fields just by not being an idiotic pointy-haired-boss in a world where finance and political people are repeatedly being put in charge of projects and companies whose tech they don't understand. This doesn't mean he is likeable, or someone you'd want to have a beer with, or moral, or anything else. But it does mean he is capable of managing a tech company better than most, if we use the success of the company as our capable-of-managing-a-company metric.
Investors in that economy were far from being rational. We're talking SoftBank here. It's dumb money when interest rates are zero.
which serve as a cleaner source of energy than oil or coal to over 1,500 buildings.

What does this even mean? Cleaner than burning coal or oil inside a building? In NYC that steam is still generated by fossil fuels. Steam is not a source of energy at all; it's a transfer medium.
Right. I use F-Droid and have Google stuff turned off. I do have an app, Binary Eye, that can scan QR codes, UPC codes, Code 39, etc. But it doesn't have permission to launch a browser. I have to paste the code into Fennec. I need to do this maybe twice a year.

I've never seen QR codes in restaurants in Silicon Valley.
If you've been on the internet for a while, you've probably heard that iOS devices have far less memory than their Android counterparts. The main reason this works without problems is that the OS team is very, very conservative with letting people use memory. That this works is a testament to iOS's strategy of scaling up from the bottom rather than just throwing resources at a technical problem.
I don't want to scan QR codes. I want to talk to people.
Tesla is literally a unicorn in the car industry, in terms of stock valuations, that is. If that isn't verifiable I don't know what else is.
why the non-sequitur?
Do you need to print code for that? You can just look at your PR history instead.

Also, if you print code, it will contain other people's code because it is likely not only you who code on those files...

This story is really too stupid for everyone involved.

It is not even good nor efficient for the reviewers. It is like the reviewers are also punished.

Too stupid to be true.

Friends, if we were all evil, this would work seamlessly.

The only outstanding item: what do we name the fee? Keep in mind names already taken are service fee, small order fee, heavy order fee, pickup fee + dropoff fee, Chicago fee (regardless of city), and the anti-fee "customer happiness refund".
Do you know how that can be done? Based on the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jx-gl6K2zQw it looks like only the display path can be edited (not the domain).
Hi didip,
Yeah, You're completely right, obviously rqlite is a very mature project and the comparison does not make any sense at this point!
I think physical menus are an opportunity to make your restaurant memorable. QR code menus lean toward commodity.
> Just look back 3 month and assess how many of the things that happened were predictable (keeping in mind the fact that hindsight is 20/20).

The company I work for hasn’t changed a single procedure or milestone. Neither have my clients. I am also not talking about predicting the world, but of predicting an internal kitchen.

This is just n = 1 but I’ve never seen a company that does it’s strategic planning in detached 2 week sprints.

If anything, if any sort of coherence exists I’d say that the previous sprint, the current sprint and the next sprint should have an understandable connection, and then we are already talking about a month and a half.

> I wager every company in the world was affected by the world wide changes right now.

Affected? Perhaps. Derailed? Not so much.

> Those who cling to plans are at disadvantage against those who have the ability to quickly adapt to the change.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but I’d trust and would like to work, more, for a company that doesn’t flap in the wind.

No one in the industry expects stability like in the waterfall days, but to expect a company to change / adapt their strategy in less than a financial quarter is just marketingspeak in my opinion.
Most glove boxes don't have large panes of glass? The sound of a broken window to get in will also motivate a thief to not stick around messing with a glovebox very long. Maybe leave something worth running off with in the center console as a deflection.

What do you mean by automatic memory management here?

(I misspoke a bit with "Rust doesn't have GC", it does have opt in basic GC in the form of ref counting, but it's not used much because a headline feature of Rust is code without GC and I guess libs with interfaces requiring GC would be considered uncool)
I agree with it. There a rare subspecies of developers who enjoy fixing bugs. The more rare and obscure, the better. Maybe they derive the same kind of pleasure as a police detective solving a hard case.

I do believe they should be princely rewarded and I would hope there would be more of these people as this will allow us the people who enjoy building concentrate on it.

I believe there was a thread on HN two days ago of a guy who enjoys fixing bugs asking how he can make a business out of it. Chapeau to him!
