Good, we can go paperless and minimize human contact and viral exposure with digital paperwork and authorization systems and intercoms. No need to roll down the windows and let the climate controlled air get dirty and hot/cold.
I wonder what those reasons were such that they couldn't be stated openly and instead they needed some unrelated pretext to sack him?
They don't claim to outperform fixed-tile or SAT on that KPI. They claim to reduce upfront cost of installation, construction time, and general project risk.

> Cost-per-mile is cheaper from electricity than from diesel

Depends where.

> and it's expected to have lower maintenance costs too

That's theory. Compare maintenance costs of a Tesla and any hybrid Toyota.
What the designers/engineers want (convenience, ease of use) is often sidelined in favor of making money (keeping mfg costs low, dealing with supply chain issues)
I expect that they are getting lower output per acre, but in places where land is cheap and as solar panels continue to get cheaper, the money saved on building the support structures could be worth those losses.
First, they are banking on the fact that solar doesn't need a lot of repair and maintenance in general, and their design decreases some of the stresses that racked solar panels encounter. I imagine they are also over-sizing the system, and adding remote disconnects so they can disable a certain number of panels and still meet the contract.

And then when repair is needed, they just walk on it[1]. Seriously. I'm very curious as to what these pads they mention are like - big foam snow shoes, or walkways they rollout along a seam?

As guy who has very similar background just like you: there is very little in Rust that will benefit your straight away. On the other side, you are going to learn a lot about low level details associated with systems programming (mostly influenced by C++ in case you are learning Rust).

For me the biggest win with Rust is the performance that I can get out of it, which is irrelevant in most cases. If you work on a problem that requires extreme single node performance then you can learn Rust instead of learning C++. This is probably less than 10% of the use cases people use programming languages for. As far as teaching juniors: I had great success with Python, yet, a lot of foot-gun situations. With Rust I am not good enough to mentor our junior devs, so we learn together. It goes very slowly.
They do technically have coat hangers in back but they pop out.
No, they're not.

The #FediBlock hashtag can be used by anyone - it's literally just a hashtag - and it's up to folks (mainly admins) monitoring that hashtag to investigate and (if it appears to be necessary) take action.

There are no global blocklists, and even the concept of shared blocklists isn't accepted by many, although there are quite a few Known Bad instances that a lot of admins block.
Considering that the original lead for the project was also the lead for the Cascadia, I don't think its fair to say that they lacked people with industry knowledge.
This seems to be a trend with the latest Telsa future products. They don't seem to be engineered for the actual user, but engineered for marketing to people that wont use them.

The Cybertruck is another example of this.
All of these factors can have the infrastructure updated to the 21st century. We don't need coins for tolls, or paperwork.

This is naive. If you don't try, you never know for sure : )

But that easy retort aside, there are many creators, who live off of donations. And as a matter of fact, it also cannot be correct, because I count myself as "people" too and donated to several projects/creators.
This makes for a great writing prompt. In some ways, you're describing the Warhammer 40k universe. The people of that world don't necessarily "reject" technology, but any understanding of it is lost, and things are maintained through ancient relics; the meaning behind which is completely unknown. It's a great fiction premise.

All panels collect dust, but this setup is much more challenging to clean (and to generally service, i.e to replace a faulty panel)
If you collapse both of these into saying internet-based information, then yes we do if we want advancements to continue to skyrocket like it has in the last 30 years.
True, but I don't think police are as worried about long-haul truckers behaving well, versus someone in a civilian car. The trucker needs to keep their CDL, and they do trucking professionally.
And Steve said, "Let there be borrowing," and there was borrowing. And Steve saw that the borrowing was good.”. Tongue-in-cheek. My guess is that your experience and skills perhaps can’t be projected on to the average developer.
Korg always seem to have been a bit pragmatic with using ready-made hardware where other manufacturers go at great lengths to come up with their own solution.

Look at the inside of this Korg M3: https://www.personal-view.com/talks/uploads/FileUpload/37/98...

It seems like the operating system comes on an SD card (makes upgrades easy, I guess), and the power supply looks like a standard laptop power supply.
working now thanks
The project was originally lead by the former lead of the Cascadia program.
I just can't say I personally had that experience. I'll admit to sampling bias on this one.

I am glad it is generally working out all around for most though!
Maybe 'designed in the Bay Area'. If you take a look at a map you'll notice that California has significant mountain ranges and shares a border with Mexico.
The Model 3 today is alright. Would be significantly better with auto presenting door handles, a normal latch for the glovebox, an infrared sensor for rain, and the option to use old school cruise control.

The thought that they might do something silly like a yoke and "automatic" gear selection in the Model 3 is a bit horrifying. That will push away a lot of the regular folks who just want their car to be a car. Hell, I'd like to be able to turn OFF autopilot on my model 3 altogether, because I'd happily give up lane keeping just for the ability to use old-school cruise control.
>How could it be a mistake if this was public information?

Not to pile on, but the government releases info by mistake all the time. Even simple things like doing a crappy job redacting court filings. It's just people doing this stuff, and people make mistakes all.the.time.

But... you'd rather charge every time you use it? And what if you run out of energy in the middle of a trip?

What makes you think that electric cars don't need tune-ups?
Starting with Fsharp that has a gazillion libraries (usually pretty good quality ones) and it has much more advanced features from the ML tree than Rust (like |> for example).

Rust's error handling might be great for people who are used to exception based error handling but it is a joke compare to railway oriented programming in Fsharp or any ML lang that supports |>.
For the life of me, I can't fathom the EV obsession with touchscreens.

Why?! I can understand one touchscreen for complex functions, but at least retain buttons for core functions. No one wants to tap five different screens to control the AC direction or wiper blades.
I don't think letting an adult drive an Uber around is like letting a 10 year old work a coal mine.

I argued this law is a bad one, and your defending it by arguing that we should have labor laws. I agree, I just think this law is a bad one.

> This is a choice by the company. It isn't a requirement of the regulation. I'm not sure why 100% of the blame goes to the regulation and not the company that is actively adopting antiworker practices in response to legislation preventing them from continuing their previous antiworker practices.

Should we instead blame the companies for being profit seeking? Should we enact laws not based on their consequences in the real world but instead based on the hypothetical world where all companies are run by mother Teresa?

And this law does not make all workers better off. It makes some better off and other worse off. It takes away 70+% of flexible schedule jobs to increase the # of w-2 benefit jobs by what ~3%.
Musk says Twitter deleting 1.5B inactive accounts to free up handles
Just like the gun debate in the US, the speed limit debate in Germany has at its core nothing to do with rational arguments. It is about perceived restriction, limiting personal freedom, and potentially taking away a right people are used to.
My Model 3 has coat hanger hooks in it. Maybe only older or specific ones lack them?
>"Typical speedups over Python are on the order of 10-100x or more, on a single thread. Codon's performance is typically on par with (and sometimes better than) that of C/C++"

Nice! A super-fast compiler LLVM compiler for Python! Well done!

You know, if Python is one of the world's most popular languages, and it was originally implemented as a dynamic and interpreted language (but fast compilers can be written for it, as evinced by Codon!) -- then maybe it would make sense to take languages that were implemented as compilers -- and re-implement them as dynamic interpreted languages!

Oh sure -- that would slow them down by 10x to 100x!

But, even though that would be the case -- the dynamic interpreted versions of the previous compiled-only language -- might be a whole lot more beginner friendly!

In other words, typically in dynamic interpreted languages -- a beginner can use a REPL loop or other device -- to make realtime changes to a program as it is running -- something that is usually impossible with a compiled language...

The possibilities for easy logging, debugging, and introspection of a program -- are typically greater/easier -- in interpreted dynamic languages...

Oh sure, someone can do all of those things in compiled languages too -- but typically the additional set-up to accomplish them is more involved and nuanced -- beginners typically can't do those things easily!

So, I think when I think about programming languages from this point forward -- I'm going to think about them as having "two halves":

One half which is a compiled version.

And another half -- which is a dynamic interpreted version...

Usually when a new programming language is created in world, it is created either as a compiled language or as a dynamic interpreted language -- but never both at the same time!

Usually it takes the work of a third party to port a given language from one domain to the other, usually from dynamic interpreted to compiled, but sometimes (as is sometimes the case with scripting languages derived from compiled languages), sometimes in the reverse!

Point is: There are benefits to be derived from each paradigm, both dynamic interpreted and compiled!

So why do we currently look at/think about -- most computer languages -- as either one or the other?

I'm going to be looking at all computer languages as potentially both, from this point forward...

> Yeah sure. Lets also emphasize that regulation makes these bad behaviors less likely, ok?

In theory it should, but in practice they don't: FTX was licensed and regulated, as were JP Moran, Duetshe Bank, Goldman Sachs et al. who were being audited by the major 3 rating's agencies and were all rating their investments tripe A despite being filled with NINJA loans, who they had simultaneously bet against in order to profit from their invertible failure (CDS). All of whih led to an economic collapse which we never recovered from and still deal wit to this day.

I wish that regulation alone was the way to deter these things, but all it does is lead to more entrenched regulatory capture which leads to less competition to the incumbents. And before you start with, well SV funds disruptors let me remind you how Sequoia was one of the biggest backers of FTX/SBF.

Again, if taken to it's logical conclusion regulation alone doesn't do what it states it will do, all it does is create more moats that must be guarded by various gate-keepers ebabled by regulations who only let those with the right connections, academic credentials, family connections in thus further enforcing the kleptocratic-aristocratic way of doing things and thus 'business as usual' remains with only a thin veneer of governance is applied.

If it wasn't SBF that did this it would have been Blythe Masters, who was ousted from JPM for her failure to corner the food commodities market via derivatives, or one of her cronies as she and her cohort entered the
crypto space in 2014 or so.
Even if you dont't use Facebook at all, you can still be tracked by Facebook as lots of website you visit may contain trackers from it.

So the plain fact is you get tracked by Facebook even if you are not a Facebook user. The info collected by those trackers might not be enough to identify you, but still good enough to feed tailored ads to you.
Lot of these are good points but I think we would really need to have the guy actually test one of the Tesla trucks to know. The center position thing, for example, does sound shitty. But how do we know that the driver could not simply lean to the side temporarily to reach out the window? That seems like it would not be THAT hard.

The tablets though I agree - it is ridiculous that all Tesla vehicles rely on them so heavily. If that tablet breaks you now have a fairly useless vehicle. Just lazy design at this point and dangerous. What they really need is the Saab night mode design - that was super cool!

Australian. I've heard it since I was a kid. No offence intended to those who haven't heard it at all.

It's so familiar to me that there's no thinking twice about it's use in a blog title.

I'm also sure there are more cultural phrases and terminologies that I'm not familiar with than the number I am familiar with, but the usage of them on the internet wouldn't offend me or make me feel like I was on the outer.

My bank is also where I also get home, auto, and life insurance. I actually go out of my way and get auto loans from them even when the dealer offers lower interest rates. Because the bank has been good to me over a 30 year period. Yes, I have been a customer that long.
Electricity cost is much higher in the US and almost 10 times more expensive in Europe.

Also, a diesel engine can easily run millions of miles, I don't believe a battery's efficiency would hold even few hundred thousands. Teslas don't at least and degrade around 10% every 100k miles, with most dying before hitting 400k.

Like everything those calculations seem always based on best case scenarios and ignore that batteries are super expensive and degrade at each cycle.

It's meant in the sense of "coerced into working." Eg if you don't have a viable alternative to working, did you choose work freely? Everyone using this comparison from that time period knows it's an extreme metaphor and is using it at least partially for the shock value of the comparison, to jar people into seeing the everyday pressures in a different way.

They aren't comparing the conditions of slavery to the conditions of wage labor, just that the force that compels a proletarian worker to work is on the same continuum with the force that compels a slave to work.
If anything it reminds me of all the arguments on slashdot when iPhone was announced that it would never take off because full touchscreen phones without a physical keyboard were a gimmick.

In many cases they can. With the Tesla Semi they can replace some subset of trucks as well.
That's hilarious. Okay, go tell every warehouse and factory with a loading dock out there that their systems are out of date and they need to use RFID for everything. And if they don't -- well, we won't send this truck to your facility!

A little bit of humility when it comes to appreciating how sectors of the economy you have zero experience with would go a long way.
I use that to get the markdown in the list of PRs assigned to me, then I use fzf (fuzzy finder) to choose between them with Glow for the previewing. I think I tried previewing the PR with GH and because it would fetch each PR description anew it wasn't good for arrowing between the PRs like I wanted.
I do not know, but I am not changing strategy.

This year, just like I did for the past 10, I invested all my paycheck savings into VTI/VXUS despite suffering 6 figures unrealized losses from them. I plan on doing the same next year, and for as long as I am employed/have disposable income. Every spare dollar I find, outside of my emergency fund, gets immediately invested.

Heck, even most of what Microsoft designs/builds/releases is after-the-fact mind boggling un-user-friendly, and they are mostly working on their own and hugely deployed products with many years of real world experience already under their belt. And they still screw it up regularly! I don't readily know what one would call this phenomenon. Is it as serious as technical cancer? Dementia? If feels like a disease that is spreading to so many companies rather far, and fast.
Perhaps the good news is that it should result in more competition, I think. Tall growth getting hit with beetles, ideally leaving behind fertile ground for something else?

That they're going to put the yoke on the Model 3/Y and remove the gear stalk. Like they did on the Model S.
Not to be patronizing but it sounds like you don't have much experience with work boots or jobs that actually need them. If a driver spends their time going between relatively clean locations then yes, it's a relatively trivial complaint. The problem is that's often not the case: If they have to visit remote, heavy industrial, or some types of farm locations their boots will constantly end up caked in mud, random chemicals, or various biological debris. As someone who has dealt with all of the above, I find the complaint about door placement to be every bit as big a deal as having to get out of the seat at guardhouses.

That sounds intriguing. Can you talk about some success (and failures)?
I watched the yoke thing pretty closely. The positives that I've heard all center around the turn signals. Apparently a lot of people get used to them and actually like the touch buttons! A surprising number prefer them! TBH, this kind of shocked me, but watching them use it makes it make sense.

The horn button gets universally negative reviews. The yoke shape itself is more mixed, but I don't think I've run into anyone who'd prefer it over a round one. It more mixed between "I hate it" and "its ok". :)
