In the way correctly-placed periods could represent a dot plot.
You're probably right, but who's going to actually do that? Especially for a 5 second task. Plus, are we going to do that when there is a passenger who can control the phone without endangering anyone?

The notion of pulling over is sane from a logical point of view but absurd from a human point of view.

You can be right and wrong at the same time, this is one of those times. We have to consider how humans will actually act, not what they should do. Make the right decisions easy to do and make the wrong decisions as safe as possible.
> That sounds like a terrible idea, to be fair. (And you don't mean University of Waterloo in Canada?). Isn't University free in Germany?

U of Waterloo co-op program is basically a guaranteed FAANG tier job on graduation if you have any talent, which Marcus obviously has a great deal of. I have never, not once, regretted hiring a Waterloo CS grad. They have an exceptional program.

I got my first programming job at 19 (I started interviewing at 18), and the job description required at least 3 years of experience. I got an interview loop on the basis of sharing the source for some hobby programming I did. From there it was mine to lose. You have a hobby program that is impressing a number of industry professionals already, so if you want to pursue that route I assure you that with perseverance you will get a fulltime position. Whether or not it's wise for you to do so I prefer not to advise you on. I can only say that I "withdrew" from college to work and haven't regretted it since. But those were different times and different circumstances so I have no idea if that's a good idea or not now. And for what it's worth I also have a very high opinion of the mathematically rigorous approach to CS that at least used to be de rigueur at continental universities. So if those programs are still as good as they used to be you might want to consider that too.

With regard to getting that first job: unless you do a co-op program like Waterloo, there is basically no way to get an intro job without not actually meeting the experience requirements. You never see listings saying "No experience necessary!"
I've been down that road but have more or less convinced myself the coffee wasn't the problem. Although I don't drink _all_ that much. Coffee does seem to make it a bit harder to be self-aware, though .. like your energy levels are higher but they leave less time for the kind of boredom that causes you to have thoughts about stuff you've been avoiding thinking about.
It's like they want to go bankrupt.....idiots. I bet some exec struck the deal and walked with a bonus....
That is really cool, but yeah, editing is the hard part. A few years back, I tried my hand at building my own editor with VexFlow as the renderer. As you can imagine it's a really difficult problem and my skills at the time were nowhere near up to the task - although I think I could make a better run at it today.

Still, especially while I'm prototyping, being able to find something pre built would be awesome. I've even thought about trying to do something something WASM with TuxGuitar (no clue whether that would be viable or less work than trying to build it from scratch).

If I get to the point where I feel I need tab editing for my current project, I'll likely wind up integrating Flat.io, which looks like the closest thing to an out of the box solution I've found so far.

I love the idea of being able to embed music notation into Obsidian (or Notion, which I used before Obsidian), it seems so handy.
> approval voting doesn't allow you to express your preferences very well

yes it does, in the aggregate. because the people who approve only X or only Y will statistically have a pretty similar X-vs-Y preference as all other voters (who approved both or neither).

https://medium.com/election-science/expressiveness-6ef8c034b...

and because approval voting uses the preferences it does have more accurately than IRV, it ends up being much more accurate, as measured by voter satisfaction efficiency simulations.

Yep. Not to mention everything now is actively sending constant “metrics” to home base etc.

A set of gymnastic rings for 50USD is a great investment if you can find a good place to use them. I have a set that I take with me to the gym.

Ring dips and push-ups are awesome pushing exercises. Ring dips especially put a lot of load on the chest in way that almost no other exercise does.

Ring pull-ups and rows are great pull exercises. Rings allow you to do a lot of interesting movements and variations on these exercises.

FitnessFAQs on youtube has a lot of good videos on ring exercise form and routines.

> It is surprising that modern browsers innovate so little - for example they do not have a mode that searches only URLs you have previously visited, which would obviously massively help with known item search.

What's worse, they don't have a useful list of those URLs anyway[0], not anymore - both Chrome and Firefox have some ridiculously short and (AFAIK) not configurable window of browsing history. At this point they could do away with the history tab completely, as it's perfectly calibrated to be useless: the links are dropped just as they cross the threshold between "likely still have it open in a tab" and "what was that thing I saw the other day?".

> I am trying to build upper body strength and pull-ups kill me

IMO, the best thing is if you have access to an assisted pull up machine or lat pull down.

Bands can work alright (and they're cheap!), but assisted pull ups and/or lat pull down allow you finely tune your progressive overload. The general problem with bands (and spring type resistance in general) is that the non-linear resistance makes it more difficult to judge your progress.

Dinosaurs had their chance and they lost, but I'm slightly terrified of the idea of a crow scaled up to the size of a chimpanzee, and I actually like corvids (though not as much as some).

Terminal Copilot
I'd love to setup a car UI with cherry blue switches throughout.
The 2.1 generation CR-V (2005-2006) was the best car Honda ever made. Physical buttons, switches and levers for everything. Bulletproof engine and manual gearbox. Dead simple to work on, aside from unfortunate oil filter placement. Reasonable fuel economy. Side swing hatch door. Built in picnic table. 6 disc changer with a tape deck.
> Things that aren't covered they've made automatic: lights, wipers, garage door, seat heaters. Things that aren't buttons and aren't automatic voice handles well (ex. "set climate to 72").

For small websites, it may just be an easy and practical technological solution, sparing the need to integrate with third-party services or platforms. I'm not sure why you see it as a negative, but for the merchant it's just another payment gateway. Also, in some countries these payment services might not be so readily available, and Bitcoin might be the only solution for accepting payments globally.

Also, I think it's quite a small group of people who associate Bitcoin with something negative. Some people might relate it to drugs, but that is really based only on the early days of bitcoin use and hasn't been the main use case for years. For 99% of people it's an investment, and some of these also use it for payments whenever it's possible.
Have you seen the water restrictions though? In San Jose you can get fined for washing your car on your driveway.

Both, but I find myself having to learn a new ORM practically every time I switch languages and platforms, or just every 5 years or so because new "better" ones come out. Also, I often do not feel I've every really "learned" the ORM. It doesn't act like my understanding of it, all of the time. Either my laziness, poor documentation, etc.

So I keep coming back to SQL, even if it means rewriting code I've already written. At least with SQL I know exactly what's going on, probably because I have a lot of experience with it. With SQL I can try code out against the database in parallel if needed. It always works exactly as expected. I get the paradigm so I don't have trouble writing it correctly. I don't have confusing bugs related to saving state vs. leaving it in memory. YMMV.
Can't someone 3d-print a 'mold' that you put over your Tesla's screen to give you limited functionality, but provide a rubber/membrane physical interface
Hah, sure! It's out of date in many respects, but I like mine, especially the URL: https://signmaker.dev
Touchscreen designs can be fast. I'd still prefer physical controls because of tactile recognition -- you can find the control without looking, but I ended up choosing a new Volvo over other makes partially because I prefer the simplicity of the interface.

I'd be wary of taking asynchronous actions and making them synchronous. For instance, if you had a list of items each with a delete icon next to it, you don't want to turn deleting three items from click-click-click into click-wait-click-wait-click.

Chrome Dev Tools can simulate added latency as well as restricted bandwidth, so you can plug intercontinental latencies in and see how much a particular site is affected.

The "free" encyclopedia jargon is a myth. Right now, there's an implicit caste system that determine who actually controlled the whole page.

Sorted by the lowest hiearchy :

1. IP edits

2. Registered new user

3. Registered old user, with a mobs of fellow old user, that could enforce anything in the name of "community consensus".

4. Administrator. An ascended registered old user with a mobs of fellow old user "supporter" who vote for them during the election session. They actually wield power to ban user, permanently delete someone contribution, and lock the pages. Abuse of power is rampant so far. There's no balance of power at all to fix this problem except hoping the majority of "good" administrator (and public outcry) finally oust a "bad" administrator.

5. A mobs of administrator. Any infightings inside the administrator circle could be overpowered by the majority mobs of administrator, all again in the name of "community consensus".

Political battle inside Wikipedia is bloody and i've experienced it first hand.

Oh, regarding the level 5 user (a mobs of administator), here's an interesting story :

I can tell we're going to disagree but I love the clean look of the dashboard. As a result of Tesla's product decision I've moved anything I use on a regular basis to the two large consoles. They put the glovebox button at the top of the menu tree and this product decision tradeoff hasn't bothered me.

Since it bothers you, I'm genuinely curious, what do you store in your glovebox other than I'm guessing car registration?

Choosing this depends a lot on your language, its ecosystem, and your application's own ecosystem (if your app shares a database, ORMs aren't necessarily out of the question, but have a lot more hurdles to overcome).

In Python using the Django ORM lights up all sorts of great features in the Django Framework because its automated admin and automated CRUD views feed off the ORM's information and it's often silly not to use Django's ORM for how much free productivity it can buy you. But then if you aren't using Django with Python you've got far more choices of ORMs and maybe fewer reasons to use one or another.

In C#, I'm a massive fan of LINQ. I think recent versions of EF (Entity Framework) have been rock solid and do everything that I need to do. (Early versions EF that supported LINQ got some (deserved) bad reputations for its query transformer sometimes doing surprising things. As someone who had to debug many of them, I knew that pain directly. Ever since the "reboot" (EF Core 1.0), EF has had a very good, very "no magic" query transformer that doesn't do anything you don't ask it to do. I do mean it greatly when I say that recent versions have been rock solid.) With LINQ (in either of its forms) I almost never feel like I need to write a query directly in SQL (and most of what is left are fun rare things like MERGE statements) and LINQ offers somethings that writing in SQL can't. Type safety is obviously the big one for why you should want to choose an ORM in the first place. But there are also small things where I think LINQ ergonomics are actually better than their raw SQL equivalents (things like WHERE versus HAVING when writing GROUP BY logic).

I've also worked on massive shared database "microservice architectures" where everything needed to be "Native SQL" and not just "Native SQL" but hand tuned micro-apps written in T-SQL (or equivalents) to insure data integrity and overall performance of the entire ecosystem. I don't really recommend architecting applications that way, but I do know they exist for all sorts of reasons and have had cases where any ORM involvement made things more difficult. (That said, in C# modern EF support for type safe calls of stored procedures and views is pretty great and I'd probably still use that today rather than building hand-managed ADO.NET wrappers like I used to have to in those days even if most of the actual ORM parts and query transformation tools were left unused.)

Ask two developers and you'll sometimes get five different answers. There's a lot of personal preference here, mixed with all sorts of experiences from all sorts of ORMs. There are so many ORMs to choose from out there and most answers about one don't apply to others, and with EF as an obvious example even the same ORM can have massively different reputations in different eras of its lifespan.
Do you mind if I ask if the car you most interact with has touch or physical controls?
That's another nice alternative, I don't remember the exact reasons on why I ended up with the backdoor approach.
> because they did deliberately target people like them

No, they didn't. The IRS has no idea if a person is lefist, conservative, or anything in the middle.

There were multiple investigations into the IRS targeting political groups (not people!) applying for tax exempt status using keywords like "tea party." Those investigations found that groups across the political spectrum were targeted, not just conservative ones.
> is even in the right mode so the button is there at all.

This is actually really important, and it's something that even physical button-based systems can get wrong. Modal interfaces require careful thought because they change things out from under the user, making them unpredictable. Obviously, not all modal interfaces are bad (nobody would suggest that forward and reverse shouldn't use the same accelerator pedal), but in cars, most of them are terrible.

It's why those old radios with 15 buttons and 7 dials are a cinch to use, but the newer radios that hide everything behind menus are terrible. Even something as simple as bass/mid/treble/balance/fader/volume/tuner are an absolute pain to use when you have to click a button to switch between modes, and those features might as well not exist due to how hard they are to operate. I've tried tweaking them while driving in some newer cars and it's always a terrible experience, but my current 20-year-old car has 7 separate dials for those functions, and I twiddle them all the time without even thinking about it.
Whatever removes React is the way to go, it's the most poorly thought of library out there.

This would be a lot of fun for most seasoned engineers. Tbh I'd rather enter a 15 year old code base written by a single person (who is still contactable and available) than a 15 year old code base written by hundreds of people, some of whom have died, moved on, or are others unreachable, and the inevitable bad patterns being followed thanks in part to Conway's law. A monolith made by a single dev is likely in my opinion to be much more approachable.
I hadn't heard of this book before, but I appreciate this from the wiki article:

"As a potential solution, Graeber suggests universal basic income, a livable benefit paid to all, without qualification, which would let people work at their leisure."

I think the 'without qualification' part is really important, so that there is no incentive NOT to work, and no stigma attached to receiving the money. Just give it to everybody and otherwise leave them alone.
