I'm a "pro" and I really love to have resource usage graphs continuously visible, so I can know at a glance what my computer is doing, why it's taking a while, if something is doing something it shouldn't in the background, or if there's a glaring bug with code I'm writing.
There is still often an "Auto Hold" feature that will engage the brake when the vehicle comes to a complete stop. My EV can have auto hold engaged while not being in the single pedal drive. I have this in my ICE as well, but it doesn't seem as smooth overall, so I don't end up using it much.

It is still not quite the same experience though, as the ICE will just keep rolling at low speeds forever without actually ever coming to a stop until you press the brake. Auto hold will only engage when the vehicle actually stops. For my EV, when I get off the accelerator pedal it'll come to a complete stop on its own and then hold itself there.

Other than turning on my EV, most trips don't involve me touching the brake pedal at all.
> If he had written any decisions correctly, no one would disagree with him.

This is absurd, and only a complete partisan could write something like this. There is absolutely no point in discussing anything with you, because you literally are unable to concede that your side can ever be wrong. This attitude is extremely corrosive to peaceful coexistence: when more people understand that for you, the only “correct” court decisions are the ones that go according to your preferences, why would they want continue to participate in the rule of law? The whole point here is to solve disagreements by appeal to shared rules and procedures. If you are unable to concede that rules and procedures can ever result in an outcome that is against your preferences, you’re effectively telling people that you do not care one damn about these. Why should then anyone else? This will cause the judiciary to devolve into pure partisanship, with some latin words sprinkled on top.

"making small talk and sharing personal life experiences"

It sounds odd to me to combine these concepts in the same sentence. Sharing personal life experiences is arguable a necessary part of building deep friendships, and it's often a vulnerable and intimate act. Small talk is none of that, if not the opposite.

Time for a new operating system (if we didn't already hit that mark with the 2013 NSA leaks).

Apple, Google, Samsung, Huawei: they all exist at the pleasure of the state. Please ignore their glitzy PR-laden presentations about protecting people's privacy and upholding human rights. They will sell you out in a second if it's convenient.

On the mobile side of things, we need, at the barest minimum:

- a web based OS with granular permissions for any application that needs to access hardware APIs (just like a web browser)

- a general-purpose mobile SOC that hasn't hitched its wagon to Samsung/Apple/Huawei orders.

- FairPhone style modular, user replaceable parts, and to encourage an interest in self-repair.

- no native-app lock-ins. it's not 2007, the majority of apps people use run fine on a mobile web browser.

- significant efforts to fund tech literacy. More than a billion people have smartphones as their first computing device. They don't have the benefit of past knowledge, so they simply accept the locked-down nature of smartphones without question. Meanwhile in 2011, we could openly port Windows Phone 7, Android OS and the original Windows Mobile 6.5 on the same phone.

[https://www.ralstoninst.com/npt-female-quick-test-adapters]

“They seal due to the "out of roundness principle" which means that the male stretches the female fitting until there is so much force that the connection can hold pressure. One of the challenges with this design is that if you connect stainless steel to stainless steel then over-tightening or poor lubrication can cause gauling and damage to the threads. Thread sealant is needed to seal but only 2 turns of thread sealant is required. ”

And [https://brennaninc.com/brennan-university-old/fittings-101-n...]

“ NPT connections rely on thread deformation- a metal to metal sealing design where the threads of the connectors themselves form together. This design is ideal for single assembly applications and not recommended where connections will be assembled and disassembled frequently due to wear on the threads from deformation.”

I think you’re running across SEO spam. The bane of the internet. However, it is really commonly misunderstood, and I’ve heard all sorts of folks repeat it.

The thread sealant is to lubricate, and can help slightly in low pressure scenarios (like typical gas which is about 1/2PSI or 10-12 WC inches), but it’s to allow the fitting to work, not the primary sealing mechanism.

It’s not hard to do some back of the envelope calculations either and see that has to be true in many situations because the yield strength of PTFE tape or thread sealant (even when cured) is so low. It can’t hold on 100 PSI if it was what was doing the sealing.

Brass, Iron, Stainless? Piece of cake.

That said, there are thread sealants that do indeed provide high strength gas tight seals, loctite makes one for sure.

But it shouldn’t be necessary and isn’t generally in the plumbing aisle.

You can test out the lubrication effect yourself. It’s really obvious in brass, black iron, galvanized, and stainless fittings.

The standard ‘torque guidance’ for NPT fittings, is tighten to hand-tight, then do 2-3 turns.

Try it first without anything (with fittings you won’t mind losing), and the galling and friction is terrible. Often it’s impossible to do 2-3 turns, and hence it will leak. All the force is taken up with the friction on the threads. It may be impossible to undo due to the galling/cold welding.

Lubricating Oil on the threads? No issues, and you can tighten with no leaks unless the fitting is damaged or messed up.

Use tape or pipe dope? Usually even better than the lubricating oil, and minor damage won’t cause nuisance leaks which may require too much force otherwise.

Thin brass fittings and stainless steel are especially bad without some kind of lubricant. The brass even makes a shrieking sound, and is susceptible to cracking.
That’s an overly reductive to prove a biased point. Typical users do not have the same motivations as programmers. The market for connected devices does not have to conform to your expectations.

It’s really exhausting pointing out how your argument would effectively force others to produce what satisfies your sensibilities and to protect what you feel is sacrosanct.

Programming is “just math”. I don’t need an 8088 to prove its adding, subtracting, comparing memory addresses. All the cognitive structure and literalness of the past has nothing to do with software and everything to do with hardware engineering.

That the industry has not clung to your nostalgic ideal does not mean there is a tyrannical conspiracy. It means the industry evolved.

Perhaps you’re just on the wrong career path?

We get to design the UI ourselves, but we use MahApps[1] to make WPF look Metro-ish (which sort of pushes you into a certain direction). Our product is for engineers and scientists who tend to be very opinionated. We do our best, but we end up redesigning based on feedback now and then. We don't have many users, so we don't mind bending over backwards for them.

I will say that the constant feedback is how that they love how "modern" our application looks compared to our main competitor. So I try to never ignore the power of that perception, even if it is just a bias.

This isn’t in contrast to Android. That’s just a matter of usability.

I encourage young software engineers to seriously look at Mainframe development as a possible career path. Currently there is an aging knowledge base that needs to be replaced. Also, that world lends itself more to continually leveling up (i.e. experience matters more) than the typical development world where technologies change so fast.

On the down side it's much harder to bootstrap an environment for doing side projects on the mainframe. The hercules emulator makes it possible locally but it's a pain [0]. However, I think IBM provides sandox's for people to mess around with and all that requires is some minimal sign up and a TN3270 terminal emulator.

This is actually very untrue in my experience.

Unsolicited personal opinion/anecdote incoming:

As someone who started writing C with very little understanding of how the underlying hardware worked (or, indeed, programming in general), I support and disagree with parts of this comment at the same time.

On one hand, I support the notion that programming well (in any language) requires knowledge of hardware architectures.

On the other hand, I disagree that people should not be "allowed to write a line of C" before they have that understanding.

I started writing C early on in my programming career (having already dropped out of "Introduction to Computer Hardware"), and I'll admit, it was tough. I probably would have had an easier time if I had taken a year to study x86, win32 internals and graphics pipelines. That said, I was interested in learning to program graphics, so that's what I did, and I learned a tremendous amount while doing it. It was probably the long way round, but if the goal was learning, "just doing it" was an effective strategy.

What I'm trying to say here is that for people that would drop out of "Introduction to Computer Hardware", learning C is actually an extremely good supplement for learning about underlying hardware architectures because, in the long run, you have no choice if you want to be good at it.
A "good predictor" doesn't need 100% accuracy.
Old school webmasters (perhaps this is redundant phrasing) know that's okay. Back in the day, you'd say "I'll put your animated gif on my site for $500 per month" and if you had a networking forum Cisco or whoever would happily pay that secure in the knowledge that your viewers were in the market for their product.

Lesson: target the content, not the viewer. You know the general demographics of who is engaging positively with the tweet, and you show ads relevant to that group. A small fraction of the viewers need to be logged in for that to work.
> Why would anyone spend $1000 on a computer from Apple if it’s not what they want?

Because marketing.

Then again, maybe the truth is that what people really want isn't the best tool for the job but the best-marketed tool for the job, and they spend their money accordingly.
Aha, very nice. This is generalizable too: to get a fair dN from a randomization source with any number of unfair outcomes, do sets of N randomizations until you get a set that's exactly 1 of something and N-1 of something else, and the position of the unique one gives the ultimate result. (This requires N > 2, since for N=2 you can't tell which was the 1-of and which was the N-1.)

From the employer side it's like being a consumer shopping for reliable goods, such as clothing or appliances. You don't want something suspiciously cheap but you also know the marginal gains at the high end are probably minimal or maybe even negative. What you really want is to find a brand you trust at a deep discount from a reputable seller.

Brands go on sale to move excess inventory or to try to convert skeptical shoppers into becoming loyal to the brand later on at full price. However for better or worse there's no way for a job seeker to put themselves temporarily on sale. You can't work at a discount without devaluing yourself. This is important to understand because it means that it's not entirely about job seekers simply accepting lower pay.
When you work on software available globally, it's very normal to deploy or roll out features region-by-region. This seems par for the course.
