I wasn't defending their supposed use of paper, just pointing out reasons why you might find yourself doing so.

I've also been at quite large companies that need 3-5 days notice to onboard contractors, background checks, etc. Besides, he wants to fire 70% of them... you think people are rushing to help him fire everyone themselves included?
He can hire someone to replace you if he thinks it can succeed. Or continue to work on it on his own without you.

He sounds like he is being a bad person if he's keeping you there against your will or using guilt as a motivator.

You are vague about what your startup is or what the issue is preventing your launch. If it's ready, just launch it on zero budget and see what happens. If you need more money it isn't ready. Can it stay in "zombie mode" without you working on it actively? Why or why not?
Step 3 is problematic. When you push change requests you also need to rebase i.e. put the fixing commits right after the affected commits.

Otherwise, if you only rebase once the PR is complete, then you are likely to stumble upon conflicts due to the order of affected files.

It's a waste of the developer's time either way, not to mention that rebasing i.e. changing history on an (upstream) PR hurts the review experience e.g. comments on lost commits.
It... sounds to me like you're agreeing? What you're describing in the second part of your post is exactly what I mean by supply side inflation. What's your issue with what I said?
This story is very publicly pushing the narrative that Tesla’s software engineers are some elite Ninjas you can helicopter in to pass judgement on the spoiled SF “engineers.”

That image, combined with the image of Musk himself as the no-nonsense get-it-done boss who will call in those ninjas without asking for permission, is very good for $TSLA shareholders.
This is incredible ! But need more time to review !
I don't want touch screens in cars period and I can't stand this trend of using them. I'm finally starting to understand the feelings my grandfather had for anything thing he considered superfluous or inconvenient in a car.
Multiple?

I only see Leah Culver tweeting obscurely. In the next tweet, she responded to Musk's tweet about "comedy is allowed on twitter" that she "just followed order".

Leah Culver is wealthy that she doesn't need a job. She bought the painted lady a few years back for $3m. This could easily be a gag from her.

Your source is absolute bonker.
Elon fan brain is a debilitating condition
They are smart because the feature that inserts them is "smart". "Context-aware quotes" or "smartly inserted quotes" might be more accurate.

A PM somewhere probably thought "smart quotes" sounded neat, and here we are.
The employees are vesting the cashed out value (at $54.20/share) of whatever stock they were vesting as of when the deal closed.

Although SpaceX apparently has vesting stock in a way that keeps the company private. Some of the text messages Elon sent that were published alluded to that.
Because you said so... Or Leah's obscure tweet is the only source.
I believe that "squash & merge" is the most useless possible git forge feature that never makes sense to use except in cases of blatant laziness or incompetence. Its only purpose is to plaster over the mess that people who don't know how to use git well make with their branches, and relying on it is always net negative for the utility of your repository.

The only case where I use "squash & merge" is when I get some trivial merge request from someone who clearly doesn't grok git well and posts tons of fix up commits. When their change would boil down to a single logical commit anyway, then sure, I can click that button instead of asking them to clean up their branch - saving time for both of us. Otherwise, there's absolutely no benefit to it that I can perceive. Every reason that I have ever heard from people using that workflow could be nullified by learning how to use git a bit better, often bringing lots of other benefits to the table.

(there's one exception - "GitHub doesn't handle PR reviews well" is a somewhat valid reason, but that's a perfect excuse to look for alternatives or at least to complain to GitHub to make them finally fix their product; it's not the only forge out there, GitLab deals with branches getting rewritten during review well)
There is a difference with games consoles, in that games do not compete with each other in the same way. Someone might buy Zelda by Nintendo, but also buy a third party RPG. Very few people will pay for Apple Music and Spotify at the same time.

I also see many people saying that they won't install WhatsApp, and will only use iMessage.

As long as Apple competes directly with its own customers the platform will be unfair.
> But at the same time, Java promotes complexity and overengineering

Nothing in Java inherently does that. It's actually improved quite dramatically since Java 8, with many features like records, pattern matching, lambdas, SAMs, etc.
How long before we discover that QR Code based menus were the thin edge to differential pricing based on the customer's profile

GitLab handles it well.
Which engs? Apart from Leah's obscure tweet.

The article is paywalled.

Journalists were pranked just yesterday about twitter engs being laid off.

Is there a better source? Casey talking to some engs is so vague. Where is the details? Screenshots of emails maybe?

Why is our standard so low when the narrative fits what we like?
https://www.esmagazine.com/articles/83622-heating-with-steam...

It looks like it's efficiency has to do with the fact that it's an entirely passive heating system - it doesn't require any infrastructure except laid pipe to operate.

You can use a voice command to open it.

But that’s only somewhat better.

You can buy S3XY buttons to give yourself a physical button for it.
We keep a clean house, despite having 2 dogs and 3 young children. Ants haven't been a problem for a few years because I worked diligently to keep food in airtight containers, clean up, etc. But, this year, they came in for the water. They moved into our potted plants. It all happened so fast. I had to hire a pest control company to help us because nothing I did made a difference and I was finding them everywhere.
Interesting. I spent a month in San Diego earlier this year, but maybe I didn't go to the right places, or maybe it's because San Diego is conservative relative to some other parts of California.
Honest question, aren’t the front end devs the last people who would be interested to work on SQLITE? Why would they invest time to contribute to a tool that they wouldn’t use?
Honestly the scanned pdf sounds amazing compared to the website they usually have or the forced app install
I felt the same way when I was testing it...then realized it was only 20 a year which is a fantastic price IMO.
"As an aside, static code analyzers are not able to provide the same kind of guarantees rustc does to arbitrary C++."

Yes, and now the question becomes - is this due to hard limitations of the C++ as a language (in the sense that provision of such guarantees is simply impossible for static code analyzers, no matter what), or is it that static code analyzers just didn't provide so far (but can and most likely will)?

I personally recognize and am thankful for Rust's effort to raise general awareness on the safeness aspect. This (awareness rising) would have been indeed hard to do without forcing this safety to the language core design, although I don't see it working well for Rust in the long run (after people will start having quality alternatives and won't have to pay the "safe by default" price that Rust asks of them).
No, but I would tell them to not do their gardening in the public botanical gardens unless they want the demands and responsibility that goes with that.

As for being condescending, I found your comments only considering the volunteer side of open source equally so, and I am a big fan of answering in a tit for tat manner on the internet.

I have met a bunch of artists, and all of them wish to make a living from their art. I have yet to meet one who only wants it to be a hobby.

---
edit: I for got to respond to this

"I'm confused. The vast majority of code on github pretty obviously falls into this category."

And that is obviously causing a lot of friction between the professionals there to do a job and the hobbyists (a person can wear both hats at different times). Both sides would be better off not being on the same platform. My argument is that the hobbyists should get out of the botanical gardens (to keep going with the gardening analogy) and take their stuff to a community garden or home to their front garden.
> My cofounder is telling me if I don't keep working on this startup (using the money out of my cofounder & me's pocket after the company die)

You should establish what that would actually look like. How long would you guys realistically run like that? What would you need to accomplish to make it work? How much time would you have to accomplish your goal?
No, giving a card looks like you are giving your wallet to the waiter and hope that they are honest.
This happens all the time between SpaceX and Tesla. SpaceX is a private company just like Twitter and Elon owns a lower percentage of SpaceX than he does Twitter. There are even people who are on payroll for both companies. For example Charles Kuehmann is VP of Materials Engineering for both Tesla and SpaceX[1].

In 30 seconds, I found that you can do it by using the Google Lens feature, which is a button to the left of your zoom button in your camera app. If you don't want to use that, you can use google lens directly.

Parent comment is an internet classic, when there's only a surface level, stereotypical understanding of a foreign culture, and the assumption that's all there is to it.

Bonus points when the perceived population homogeneity is used as a reason why universal healthcare works "over there" but couldn't possibly work here. It's ignorant and racist as soon as it's given even a cursory examination.
His family wasn’t wealthy, unless you mean well off in the upper middle class sense. His father gave him something like 15k to start his first company.
Credit Karma opting everyone into sharing data with Intuit
Credit Karma is now allowing Intuit (its parent company) to access Credit Karma data. This is an opt-out instead of an opt-in.

Email I received:

> Here at Credit Karma we're always looking for ways to improve your member experience and to ensure that our products and others offered by our parent company, Intuit Inc., work seamlessly together. That's why Credit Karma may allow Intuit access to certain data about your creditworthiness—such as your credit report information—to better personalize your experience, make recommendations and improve products across Intuit's platform.
I bet it'd work a handful of times. The first couple times will be attributed to "those darn computers acting up again."
I use git kraken and you can easily choose individual lines in a file to include.

No, but you're supposed to understand that most of the people on HN aren't going to be dedicated against capitalism. I don't make much myself but I can figure that much out. SV is a capitalists wet dream.
If they don't want people to customize the way they view content, they shouldn't put it on the web. Nobody is forcing them to use HTML.
Who says that they are? Presumably Musk, Twitter and Tesla all have accountants who will ensure that everything is above board.

Tesla shareholders are also free to fire Musk if they don’t like the way he runs the company.
Musk has reportedly ordered layoffs across Twitter
Leaving aside the maximum potential upside of a lawsuit (Musk writes a check to Tesla for... $100k?), it's entirely possible that Musk asked them to take a personal day, or that they had already worked 40 hours that week, or similar. After all, I can see a trusted TSLA engineer seeing a way to get a promotion being transferred to TWTR treating it as an "interview" half-day and going unpaid.
I worked for several years at a company that was known for its use of agile. I had my critiques, but overall was a fan. Then I moved on to a much larger company and heard of SAFE, and my initial reaction was "isn't SAFE axiomatically an oxymoron?". Subsequent experience at that large company reinforced that initial impression.

It's GitHub you want to complain about. git handles that perfectly well.

>even if it is an obvious part of the anatomy.

If it is so obvious then why is it common to hear that a significant portion of the other half of the population can't seem to find it? Maybe we need some sexual geography lessons in our schools. AIS, Anatomic Information Systems. Maybe some contoured maps of anatomically correct nudes for middle school and/or high school age kids so they don't get lost on the way to make the most of prom night.

Just kidding. I saw that sentence scrap and had to ask.
This is it. I lived in China for a decade and only started seeing the WeChat menus for everything only in the last couple of years I was there. It was SO convenient and easy to use. Much nicer than trying to flip through a physical menu, flag down a waiter, have them write down my order, etc.

But I imagine it would suck if I had to open a different UI every single time. The UI I used was tried and true, efficient, and user-friendly, could depend on it working well no matter where I went.
Interestingly, the logic of mapping of two single quotes into a double quote was not built into TeX; rather, the metadata in each of the standard fonts simply used the ligature mechanism to handle it, just as they would specify that "f" followed by "t" should turn into the single-character "ft" ligature.

It's a shame that ASCII (and its visual representation on terminals from most manufacturers) has a wonderfully slanty left-quote character, but the right-quote character is typically shown as vertical. This makes TeX input files that contain quotations look kind of yucky, which is all the more galling as the original SAIL terminals had symmetric quotes, so everything looked beautiful there (never mind also having proper uparrow and downarrow characters to indicate superscript and subscript, rather than the ugly caret and underscore characters that we're all stuck with in ASCII-land TeX).

I keep both on my network running on two different raspberry pis.

AdGuard Home is a lot cleaner to use. In particular it makes it much easier to control routing for queries by domain and supports forwarding over DNS over TLS, DoH, and DoQ natively. SSL support is a breeze. This means that my ISP can see the IP addresses of hosts but not their domain names unless they get aggressive with snooping. The single binary and clean configuration is nice.

PiHole seems to have a better landing page for analytics out of the box. It also works a little better for configuration for some devices.

I’ll likely retire PiHole in favor of AdGuard Home the next time the SD card dies on that Pi.

My preferred configuration is using some fairly invasive scripts to redirect all outbound DNS except to NextDNS. I’ve got blocklists for DoH hosts because I can’t just block port 443. AdGuard then routes to one of two different backends: for local domains it routes to CoreDNS that gets the hosts from my UDM-Pro to give everything nice hostnames. Everything else goes out via DNS over TLS to NextDNS. On PiHole it’s a little more complicated as it can’t directly forward with DNS over TLS.

It’s amazing how many semi-hostile devices this found on my network (looking at you Samsung TV and devices that hard code in Google’s DNS). It also reminds me of how terrible the internet is when I don’t have these protections.
Web applications on iOS can't currently send push notifications, which are basically required for a messenger app.
> Why the hell would I need to download and install the restaurant's app for that and trust it with my payment details?

This is why Apple’s “App Clips” functionality is so great. You get a small app-like piece of functionality that you’re not installing or keeping, it works while you’re at the restaurant, then you check out with Apple Pay (or equivalent) so you don’t have to input payment details and don’t have to worry about usable payment details being stored by a potentially-insecure website.
Social media influencers in neurosurgery on Twitter
The idea of "switching" from Python to Rust is strange. They aren't really used for the same tasks. Rust is an alternative to C, C++, and to some extent Swift and Golang. And a very good one.
Well most of them (including TFA) are talking about multiple hobby projects. If you've got 5 or so hobby projects, that can start to be a bit much.
This exactly. Bypassing sandbox should be like installing software from tarball as opposed to package managers: possible but pretty much discouraged, an “escape hatch” of sorts.
> the merge commits are the only ones without any information

Huh? Merge commits usually have a high-level MR description included in their commit message.
Bit of a non-sequitur, but the easiest way to implement such a speed limiter is to make it such that the car won't accelerate when over the limited speed (and either warn the driver or reduce power gradually so it slows down gently) without manual intervention, rather than jamming on the brakes

They would have to sign NDAs at the very least.
> Our goal should be to make things better first and then to make money second

While I would rather live in that world, you don't seem to have described America, corporate laws or capitalism. In fact, TSLA should be listed as a public benefit company if that's the case.
The control plane software took years to develop and I think the vendors wanted to charge a fortune for it (comparable to MPLS or Metro Ethernet licenses) but it didn't provide that kind of value. SPB was more telco-ish while data center vendors favored TRILL; this standards war didn't help the situation. By the time SPB/TRILL would have been ready, people had already moved on to hypervisor VXLAN over a plain IP underlay.
Twitter does some cutting edge ai research, they are unique (just like meta and google and some other firms) in that the challenges they face at the scale they do are unique, and need unique solutions. If you think "social media algos" are a) not cutting edge or b)all Twitter does technically, then you are incredibly misinformed. It's not just Twitter, Google and Meta are also doing incredible research in AI and are among the biggest contributers at any platform you choose (conference papers, libraries, datasets, architectures)
I'm surprised at all the hate for QR code menus, and QR codes in general, here of all places. Most of the complaints seem to reduce to "QR codes don't work well enough" or "I'm not used to them, therefore they're bad."

Sure, QR codes aren't perfect. They'll either get better or they'll die/get replaced. That's the way technology works: we try a lot of things, and some of them work.
This is a great feature for a leased car, or a car rented out through the manufacturer. This is not for someone who owns the car.

That seems like an incredibly dumb decision. They do realize that RISC-V is right around the corner, and could quickly end much of the ARM chip market if licensing deals are this onerous?

I’m not sure if they developed them themselves, but the alloys SpaceX uses in the pre burners in the raptor engines are really advanced and likely have not been known (in the US) before. They have to be able to withstand pure (nearly) oxygen gas at very high temperatures and pressures. I wouldn’t be surprised if these super specialize alloys were developed by spacex.

The Soviets figured it out during the end of the space race and US engineers basically assumed they were lying bc they thought the metallurgy was impossible.
As a lowly employee in a giant hotel that is part of a massive global company, I have to say I dislike QR codes (and the micros POS). We had an issue where menu changes were not updated automatically on the QR codes, allowing guests to order things they can no longer order. Further, when orders from QR codes went to printers in the kitchen, either parts of the order were missing, and/or the guest was able to write in certain requests, without being sure we even carried the product.

I'm sure QR codes work great in some circumstances, but they didn't in this instance.
> absolute statements

In case you haven't noticed, I started the whole comment with "I believe" ;) I'm clearly not an almighty source of all truth; that's just my impression after 15 years of experience with git and many projects using it with various workflows.
In my experience, this only works if you have a small team of great engineers. Once you have 50+ people of various skill levels making contributions to the codebase, you'll start seeing your git history littered with variants of "fix", "fix 2", "fix broken CI test" and on and on...

For me, the PR is the context I can use when trying to find an issue.
Sifting through many hundreds of commits per day is painful. Sifting through tens of PRs per day is not great, but is much more manageable...

Bonus points for the menu PDF file being hundreds of megabytes because it's their high res file for the printing company. Double bonus if their restaurant is a mobile service dead zone.
