We do need common grounds to function as a society, I don’t understand why some people like to look at companies like they are some Gods to us. Roads, railroads, electricity cables, etc are probably a better analogy to this whole ordeal.
It's got about the same features as btrfs, and other new-gen filesystems like ZFS, APFS and ReFS, such as:

- Copy-on-write

- RAID 0/1/5/6 equivalents

- Subvolumes

- Snapshots

- Transparent compression

- Reflinks

- Metadata and data checksuming

- Replication

- Bitrot protection (when used with RAID and checksuming)

And it's supposed to be more though through and well designed than btrfs.

there is plenty of evidence that these amphetamines show very different effects in ADHD vs non ADHD individuals.

this is my first google hit for the search phrase "methylphenidate in non adhd vs adhd"

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3489818/

this is referencing several clinical studies in that vein.

and the search result has several more results, some just clinics which make the well founded claim in simpler terms, others more clinical papers.

I'm sure you find more going to Google scholar with your search.

What is the point of this self-imposed honor when the person at the top is more than happy to play you as the fool?

Musk certainly didn’t act with much honesty or ethics in this deal, do you think he’s done an abrupt about face to suddenly be upstanding? And knowing that, being willingly taken advantage of only enables this poor behavior.

I can see your point if it was some kind of critical infrastructure like a hospital, but for Twitter I personally really couldn't care less.

I have a Mazda 2, touch is disabled as soon as the car starts rolling, but is available at a stop.

I like their rotating joyknob implementation, which can be used without looking nor stretching arms, and integrates well with CarPlay as well. It's so good I skip on touch even when touch would be a good fit.

Even their homegrown UI isn't that bad, which is actually praise given the crap automakers can come up with.

Side node: touch is useful for the passenger though, as reaching to the knob can be annoying for the driver, even at a stop.

The relationship with your manager is the single most important thing regarding work.

If you don't respect your manager or your manager doesn't respect you, it's probably wise to pretend that you're already getting PIP'd.

Today you are angry and motivated, but if you let this continue, you will end up burnt out with an abundance of cynicism and the feeling of defeat. You must protect yourself.

The best revenge is to live a better life.

> OTOH it is a bit fucked up to quit a job especially these days because of an incapable manager and an a$$hole colleague.

This is self talk to prevent yourself from doing what you already know you need to do. It is a false barrier and a prison of your own making.

At a previous job I worked at, the manager said there was official policy on high about the phrase "creating a hostile work environment," and that hearing that phrase invokes mandatory HR process. So if you want to go to your manager and say, "I feel like Mr. google is creating a hostile work environment," you can certainly see how that goes. Harassment is a legal claim, so you will spike anxiety. You can write an e-mail (or keep a contemporaneous journal) if you want paper trail.

Just keep in mind you're basically in the position of launching a sexual harassment claim. I have multiple friends who tried to get sexual harassment addressed, it generally resulted in them being moved teams or let go. If you're not Susan Fowler, the lesson is clear, the squeaky wheel is moved to protect the engine.

I don't like QR code menus, and I don't fit in either of the categories you describe.

I am in no rush, don't need to be anywhere else, and enjoy the time I spend with those accompanying me. And yet, if there was a way to just push a button somewhere and have the food I ordered delivered to my table, I'd love that.

I don't like being asked if the food is to my liking while I'm eating, and I'd like to just push yet another button to pay, without having to deal with waiting for waiters to come to my table.

No, I don't want to look at spreadsheets, but I also don't want to spend any more energy than I have to by making banter with the staff, light hearted or not.

Life is to be lived, but there's more than one way to live it.
Kinda ...

The external dependency of the petrol car is the production of petrol. Huge amounts of global state focus goes on making sure there is a garage near you selling petrol at a "reasonable" price. I mean wars, repression, pipelines that have their own countries and armies, vast ships across oceans, bending millions of people globally to the needs of us users - "the spice must flow" is a very apt phrase.

Something I do not hear much about but must be hitting military thinkers around the world is ... what happens when EV really takes over.

A tesla powered off my roof can take me to the local supermarket but can you drive a main battle tank on Lithium ? How long does the recharge take from solar cells? How do we fly a helicopter when the only people doing fracking are doing it for military?

Who runs a oil refinary just for the US Navy? And what if the US Navy decides not to sell you their oil from the only working refinary?

The impact on mechanised warfare of the change to EV is something I don't hear much about.

The point is that once everyone is in an EV car, your traditional car hits all those problems. At some point the western world will think "phew we can stop paying Saudi and just drive EVs from our solar cells" - and the whole fucking thing collapses. That's somewhere around 75% of cars being EV.

As much as I dont like Elon, I wonder how much of them quit since they couldn't answer those questions.

Probably I will get tons of downvotes, but there is this strange myth here (and on reddit) that there are no incompetent programmers.

> I wouldn't say that the reason people in the UK haven't got air conditioning is because it's "bloody cold". Rather, it's because it's simply never bloody hot.

That used to be the case, but it went over 40°C this summer and four out of the top five hottest days on record happened in the last three years. A lot of the people I know in the UK wished their had air con this year.

I very much appreciated the nuance of the detailing clarification.

the "never" makes it sound like "never will you ever", not like "while you have symptoms and need treatment for..."
This is a gem (emphasis mine):

"The touch-screen-actuated glove box is terrible because it’s one of those examples where carmakers have found that they have the technology to do something, so they do it, without considering literally anything about what they’ve done. Did anybody want this? At all? It takes something that has never been a problem, opening a glove box, and added cost and complexity to the construction, and added time and inconvenience to the process. No problem is solved, but a fuckload of new problems are introduced."

Here's the gist: carmakers, as many other businesses -this can apply to pretty much every product-, need more bullet points to be shown in advertising, so they use technology to add every possible feature, including those that are technically useless but still could add points of failure because of their bare existence. I think there's no way out until people is taught how this works very early in their life, and I mean children at school, so they can use their wallets when time comes. I can't see this coming anytime soon, however, as our economy totally embraces advertising the useless.
Some Tesla engineers will be better than Twitter engineers and vice versa, but the Tesla engineers aren't there as a bastion of better software engineering.

They're a "trusted" external party that Elon can use to get an unbiased assessment of what's going on internally at twitter and get a better picture of what's valuable and what's not. If you ask a senior engineer at Twitter the same questions you'll get a very different set of answers, not necessarily wrong answers but a different perspective. Unless Elon's an idiot he'll be doing both.
We go to restaurant with friends, not for social interaction with waiters, I don't miss the human-contact experience at all. I don't know why it is part of experience of restaurant, I am interested in food, and chatting with friends. I don't care about the service, except the speed of the service. Additional bonus of the app is that it has pictures of everything you order, and also you can order at your own pace. The restaurant owner don't have time to entertain you, they are selling at a reasonable price which doesn't including entertaining you, and you don't tip them in China as well.
The radial coordinate on ACF images is the temporal coordinate. Each circular slice encodes one FFT frame. Although I'm hardly a novice in making sense of spectrograms, I don't find them visually appealing: they are just schematic representation of sound to the eye.

Your comment basically sums up the entire goal and strategy of this exercise - it's surprising how many smart people here seem to have missed the point, gone down rabbit holes about how you can't traverse functions on printed paper, etc etc.

It's about identifying the most extreme offenders and pushing out people like the GP who will rage quit without severance.

Isn’t this a self-contradiction?
You can't compare such a recent company, to others that were well established for decades. It means nothing.

I believe the criticism comes from the volatility of the company.
The thought of the glovebox becoming a DLC like the BMW heated seats is hilarious.
Finally someone had to say this!! For me an allure of eating out is not just the food but the whole experience of it and ogling over the menu card is a big part of that.

Imho, if 10-15 year old electric cars have that kind of degradation then the switch to electric cars has been a huge failure. We have a huge opportunity to increase the service life of electric cars, among other things, to offset the higher initial environmental cost.
I had a lock on the glove box on a used car. The lock was broken and it was difficult to open it so I never even bothered to use it. This has always led to awkward moments at borders.
Probably for US there is a market, but here in Europe restaurants mostly have a facebook page and that's it. They mostly don't really have an online presence and they don't really care either. That's what high taxes do, penalizing high achievers so ultimately every service 'stops' at a good-enough level.

This is what failure is like, there’s a lot of surface area and sometimes it’s things you never thought of worrying about.

I would bet the cause coming down to minor manufacturing defects and testing that was “too good” at plugging things in not accounting for sloppy end user assembly.

Combined with good old inadequate safety margins.
It is a stupid action. We do the code review all the time, but we do review the commits on Github. It is unreasonable to print it on the paper. I believe it is just a marketing tactic of Elon.
Totally agree.

It’s this same mentality that cause companies not to understand the true concept of agile development.

Failing successfully and learning with these failures is better than creating artificial success.

It’s this fear of hearing “no” or seeing their hypothesis is false that causes most of the waste in product development.
Not sure how useful that would be considering the fire has probably already started.
> and think they know better than the original creators.

This. Gmail freely warps the email standards when they feel like it. If AMP is a "standard" (I haven't checked) it's a standard that only Goo uses.
You are right of course, but that 50+ billion transistor design is mostly copy-pasted from a small number of blocks.

For example, the RTX 4090 has 16,384 cores, so you have to divide 50+ billion by that number. Then inside every core you have lots of similar repetition, etc.

The biggest challenge is to create a die that size with little to no defects, which is of course the foundry's achievement.
> The use case there for containers is both obvious and compelling, and his comment shows that he has zero understanding of the space.

I think this is more reflective of you, than him.

The technologies he's discussing drive (often in a poor, bloated way) most containers, and are the underlying components. Learning to self host with containers is fine until you want to customise beyond the ENV variables, or fix a bug and not have to wait on the maintainer, etc, etc.

Containerisation _is_ a recent tech, and it sticking around in the future _is_ debatable. I'm old enough to recall Red Hat (not EL)/Fedora kickstart being the thing that will never be replaced.

The thing that likely won't go away is the underlying infrastructure (nginx, apache, etc) that are worth knowing if you self host.
Comparing their personal lives is also interesting - Crichton, married 5 times, Grisham married once.

Not morally judging someone for getting divorced, but I suspect such an ambitious life (Crichton) left little room for personal relationships.
So the developers from Tesla are engineers, but the devs from Twitter are just "workers". So is also "on-site code evaluation". Interesting word choice from the Post, whose owner is a known critic/competitor of Musk.

So you've defined "incentive" to mean anything which causes someone to decide to do something, including altruism.

Making it impossible - by definition - for anyone to do something without incentive.

Making the term a catch-all term-of-the-art, with a meaning quite different from the general meaning of "incentive".

(Eg, the general term "incentive pay" is meaningless using the economism definition since all pay is incentive.)

> some things nobody will want to do without an incentive

By your definition, "out of their own good will" is an altruistic incentive, so of course it's impossible for someone to do this without incentive - you've defined it to be impossible.

The problem with economism is how this technical definition gets confused with the general definition. I think you just did that.

> I bet garbage truck workers don't do it from being good people

That's .... a really sad view you have there of garbage truck workers. And of people.

Literally no one is saying there are enough people like David Sedaris, who picks up rubbish as a hobby, to meet the garbage hauling needs.

But if "incentive" includes altruism, then we know some garbage truck workers are partially incentivized by the public health role they play as sanitation workers, and the pride they get from helping keep the street clean. (Source: my cousin's husband was a garbage truck worker.)

The problem is when economism reduces everything to strictly financial measures.

It is a subjective matter anyway. I love menu with pictures, digital menu is very good, you can see what you are getting, even some descriptions if the menu is designed very well. Much better than the one page menu small restaurant offers. And you don't have to talk to anyone, meaning you don't have to rush because people are waiting, no need to hold your hand in air for very long, trying to catch the eyes of a waiter.
Exactly… it was published that many engineers at Twitter haven’t been doing anything useful/sitting around for a long time now. Time to cut the fat.

I'm a noob to this. Basic question: Why can't you just send SQL queries to the database, instead of needing to learn an HTTP-based API with lots of verbs? Seems like needless indirection.
This reminds me of the black fax campaigns back in the 90's.

Basically they were Denial of Service, because the objective was to send endless pages of black pages through fax so you would either use up their ink, or burn out their thermopaper heating thing, depending on their fax technology at the time.

Doesn't work or even matter today. But it was an expensive attack in the 90's.
Then just exchange the ssh-server with one in the ports, compile it with wolfssl, openssl-(devel?), libressl or mbed TLS, whatever you want. The stuff in base is meant to be compatible and as slim as possible (for example the kerberos-server in base).

Or define the runtime options from the base-ssh-server in rc.conf (that's what i normally do):

sshd_enable="YES"

sshd_dsa_enable="NO"

sshd_ecdsa_enable="NO"

sshd_ed25519_enable="YES"

sshd_rsa_enable="NO"

If you want RSA=YES then you probably/maybe want to delete all moduli less then 4096.

Can I just put it out there how wild it is that so many people immediately assume people get ADHD diagnosis’s because they want to recreationally take stimulants rather than like, they have an issue they want treated.

It’s a lot easier, and to an extent cheaper, to purchase black market drugs. Yet people are always sceptical when people say they have an ADHD diagnosis, as if they’re just a meth fiend who wants a socially accepted reason to get high all day.

This line of thinking falls apart pretty quickly once you realise that ADHD isn’t socially accepted, as demonstrated by these kinds of comments you get whenever someone talks about it.

The drive train of an electric car will probably last much longer than a complex combustion engine.

Add to that, that you pay much less per kilometer/mile for the electricity than you pay for gasoline/diesel.

The battery might be the weak point currently, but with faster charging (already today you can charge 80% full in 30 minutes) it will be a non-issue. You could then live with lower capacity batteries. And as battery prices go down you could most likely in 10 years replace your battery for much less than today.
