I'm trying to reason "why the Tesla did stop?", in the second video on TheIntercept website, I can notice a left exit before the point where the Tesla stopped. Something I noticed with Google maps ( I don't have a Tesla, and maybe the navigation system of the Tesla is similar ), is that sometimes thinks tunnels can access the road above them ( in a tunnel near my home Google maps always tells me "turn right" in the middle of the tunnel without understanding that I need to get out of the tunnel first and take the ramp ). With this information I think the navigation system of the Tesla could have been similarly stupid and tried to turn left on a ghost road just to discover there's no road and so decided to stop.

This is just a possible reason, and I'm definitely not suggesting that this is what did happen.

This is Google maps saying "go right" in the middle of a tunnel: https://goo.gl/maps/G89cyQT2APUQuu6g6 ( the two roundabouts are connected by a tunnel )

PS: If you use street view you will see how it was 3 years ago, before the construction of the tunnel

That's a nice way to visualize the value of a gold ring or necklace I think. You have one small piece of that chunk of gold we've found.
Thanks for the comment nielsbosma! I also considered building an Excel-based no-code/low-code platform as a future direction. But I just started this very recently and thought focusing on supporting API first is easier to validate the product idea. Besides, it's solving an actual problem I had when I worked for an insurance company a few years back where the pricing models were creted in Excel, and the devs needed to turn that into APIs, and there wasn't really good solutions at that time (https://github.com/formulajs/formulajs was one, now it seems much better but at that time the number of fucntions it supports were not nearly enough)
To me the advantanges comes when you use some sort of query builder. You can pass your list in code rather than having to write the SQL.
Only half of the subsequent impacts in the Tesla video are the fault of the car who hit the car in front of them. I agree with the police conclusion that vehicles 5, 7, and 8 share fault for unsafe following. Vehicles 2, 3, and 6 do not, despite crashing into the car in front of them (subsequent to being hit from behind). Vehicle 4 I couldn’t develop a clear sense of what happened, but it seems was hit only from behind.
Agreed. I’m confused
Side note to that: The GTX 1650 is actually weaker than the GTX 1060 (benchmarks: https://www.pc-kombo.com/us/benchmark/games/gpu/compare?ids[... ). That it was able to overtake the 1060 is actually a really bad sign for the health of the market. It's also not really affordable, in that it is completely overpriced for the performance it offers.
The 38.5% figure you're using is a mean over the course of a year so you're double counting, and the 40% you've chosen to discount by is an arbitrary fiction, the question is about the value of a "stockpile" and so arbitrarily assuming we can just buy more gas as we please to fill some of it back up begs the question.
The colleagues you describe do not seem that "smart" to me.

Smart in the workplace is not just about technical brilliance and complexity.

It is at least as much about:

1. Being able to work well with others
2. Being able to take into account all constraints (which includes simplicity)

My recommendation would be to help these engineers get some coaching.

Could you maybe use their energy for something else? Try to refocus them by giving them other "important" stuff to work on?

Aret hey competitive? Can you maybe set out daily, weekly and/or monthly goals for them to reach (on tasks you need them to do). If they are that good and they do it all in an houre, cool, let them be free and watch Netflix or something xD

As long as the work is done (which is your goal) all is well...

It's hard to give advice since it is probably one of those "you have to be there to understand it completely", but hopefully some of this jibber-jabber helps.

But at the end of day if they're not a good fit for the work you need them to do, maybe they need to go. Maybe they'll find something their suites them better and maybe you can find people that suit you better.

Long term, everyone is happier.

If you are actively trying to find solutions to improve productivity and nothing works, maybe it's not you, it's them.

If there are still things you haven't tried, try and see what happens.

> which assumes that it is not possible to exceed the speed of light.

That's... No, that's not what General Relativity says at all. The speed of light as universal speed limit is not a postulate, it is a result.

The reason is because going faster than light would break causality, as I mentioned, meaning time travel, and therefore meaning all kinds of paradoxes. That is why it is generally said that FTL travel is impossible; because the consequences of it being possible are absurd.

They actually had comments in JSON but removed them in 2005. That is odd and a bit annoying :-)

You really don't. People who haven't played VR don't seem to understand how easy it is to lose yourself. Your brain quickly adjusts to the lack of peripheral vision, bad graphics, low contrast, etc. and you quickly find yourself leaning on things that aren't really there or hitting walls because you forgot that you've wandered off.
Note that this was changed about a year ago.

Starbucks profit for 2022 was $22 billion. A 7% increase over the prior year. That leaves loads of room for unions to negotiate higher salaries and better benefits before there is any risk of that happening.

And unions tend to not drive companies out of business because then there is no need for the union anymore and no paychecks to take union fees from.
By party members, I obviously meant the nomenklatura and their family.
What we need is some kind of extensible markup language ...
> is that for a long time it was the only viable configuration format

Actually, this is not the case. We had INI format for simple stuff and XML (protected with entire schema) for complex things many years ago, which worked. Yet, we wanted something readable (like INI), but able to express complex types (XML).

I don't think Toml is a viable replacement - for me, it has an INI-level of simplicity with even worst hacks to have nested structures. But, give it time and you'll have another YAML.

But yes, YAML is confusing for edge cases (true/false, quoting), but I'm going to find a powerful replacement that is not XML. Maybe EDN can jump in, but for anything more complex, I'd rather have a Lisp interpreter and structures around than any of mentioned and upcoming formats.

Thinking that JSON is a suitable replacement, imagine writing Ansible or k8s stuff in it; that would be fun ;)
That's sort of my point: It's about the same as our current system here in the west because your "choices" are very limited and the outcomes you get primarily depend on your parents' positions...

It doesn't actually matter what system you are stuck with. It matters whether that system offers you actual opportunities and choices. Both can do that. Both can fail to do that. Right now, we in the west are failing.
Same, I've never really had an issue with walking with the stick. The only thing that really took some adjustment was learning to walk with the stick but turn in person, now it's just second nature.

4 people per week in the USA [1]. GFCI devices would prevent almost all of those. There are a very small number of ways to electrocute yourself even with a GFCI installed, but you are unlikely to find one of those unless you have electrical expertise and are suicidal.

There are a few things that aren't practical to protect with a GFCI, such as high voltage grid power transmission cables. But people killed by those I wouldn't think are included in deaths 'at home'.

https://www.google.com/search?q=passengers+trapped+on+plane

Half a dozen news stories about passengers getting trapped on planes that were sitting on the tarmac from the past 30 days alone.

I'll take being "trapped" on a train that has a cafe car, numerous bathrooms, power outlets, likely cell phone service or wifi, plenty of room to walk around, and considerably more leg room and seat-reclining...over being trapped in a metal tube, crunched into a tiny seat, with a bathroom that probably won't function past a few hours, limited food, no power, and nowhere to get up and walk around.

Not to mention, if you're anywhere near civilization, if push comes to shove: you have at least some possibility of being able to just leave. On a jet airliner in an airport, you are completely trapped.

Federally airlines should be required to deplane passengers after a certain amount of time, or immediately if the plane becomes too hot/cold, runs out of water, or the bathroom stops working....and the flight crew criminally punished if they don't. But that will never happen because of airline industry lobbyists.
There were other advantages to our new approach too: because all the running of the code is happening server side it is both easier and faster.

Easier because you don’t need to have a complete development environment available on the machine that you’re making the change. You can make a quick change in the GitHub web ui on mobile and see the results. This is particularly important in our case as we have some code that depends on specific hardware to run (CUDA), that isn’t just available on any developer machine.

Faster because the server can run the process in parallel across a farm of machines, which will be faster than running locally.
This one liners lead to unreadable configuration.
With tools, the format is not important.
But we did not talk about tools, we talk about that humans can easy read and write a configuration.
I think the reason people might prefer it is because it avoids the startup time. The parent mentioned Photoshop - an already-open Photoshop with no windows can open up a new window instantly, whereas a closed Photoshop will have to go through the whole startup process again.

This, pre-SSDs, used to be a much, much bigger deal. Now it's not as big a deal, but if you've been using Macs for 20 years surely you've felt the difference between opening a window of an already-open app vs opening an app from scratch.

I personally love that I can have all the apps I want permanently open on my Mac, and never have to experience the delay of anything launching. A new window just pops up instantly when I wanna interact with an app. It's great.

The longest delay on a motorway I've ever had (get out of the car, walk the dog, hang around for a couple of hours in 32C degree heat) was a case of a driver of a small car having a heart attack, slamming on the brakes, and getting rear-ended.

The car ended up half it's length.
Pedantic, obsessive coders are the worst to work with. I'm guessing they also lack social skills and awareness. I agree with your examples, KISS and code should be clear and easy to read, think about others who have to pick up your work in the future.

I worked with a guy like this on the last contract I worked, ended up resenting him, really poor social skills and would just obsessively code all day. Another older guy would get lost on a refactoring project for months and then the manager asked me to review it, he's spent so long just refactoring and moving stuff around but it added no functional benefit, that's a lot of time and money to the business lost.

You can set engineering guidelines, PEP8, or enforce code rules via CI pipelines, at least then if they become pedantic you can just refer to the rules.

Ultimately I think it's a combination of introversion, obsessiveness, lack of experience in coding for others, being pedantic and social skills.

Well yeah. We use Mermaid all the time and it's great bc it gets source controlled/CI like everything else.
Crashed at a intersection into the driver in front of me. Started driving, and i looked wethere there was traffic coming from the left, the other driver in front of me stopped for no reason. Still my fault, but in some situations, with multiple dangers, you rely heavily on the people behaving predictable.
Formal verification of not having such fatal bugs would allow a real-time system without reliance of backups to not screw up, but still of course having logs/rollbacks for (human) input actions to cope with mistakes.

It's just that production software essentially never used formal verification to a sufficient extend.
Some concrete policies (I know the type):

- focus on very specific examples. "We did this (here's the code from the git repo N years ago) and that's how it went wrong".

- if examples don't present themselves, sometimes it's worth letting people do "over complexity mistakes" and let themselves get burned, if you can afford it.

- in such cases lay out simple criteria for success and failure, like "it's going to take too long" or "it's going to be too complex to modify". Write them down, in private, then pull out when it blows up (not necessarily to be an A-hole, just being able to quote the discussion gives you much more credibility in a post mortem).

- Sometimes a bit of "it's too clever for me" works, depending on how humble you're feeling...

But ultimately KISS works because it works, which is hard to see without reference to practical code.
-- not only does it stop suddenly - applies break - signals into a new lane - changes lane into new lane - breaks hard - well actually - if you watch the video frame by frame - it starts to initiate a left hand turn for lane change before it even signals - if a driver did this to me - sure i hit them --

The issue isn't smarts, it's arrogance and the only way to tame that is to make it clear the impact of their arrogance.

Demonstrate the complexity and its cost and why it isn't smart.

Show why a lack of consistency isn't smart.

Show why adding work that doesn't align with goals isn't smart.

> yaml is a superset of json

This is oft-repeated, but incorrect claim:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30052633
JSON is arguably much worse for usage in Git. Have fun matching braces in the default diff tools out in the wild.

YAML is the much better alternative with similar semantics to JSON. The numeric issues still hold true though.
Lot of smart people are convinced they can think a bad idea into a good one.
I think they're referring to the offence "Death by dangerous driving" and it now can carry a life sentence[1], but you would really have to be doing something exceptionally bad to get a life sentence - it would have to be deliberate, likely a repeat offence, and have other aggravating factors for that sentence. Real sentencing in the UK is very lenient- famously an American woman killed a teenage motorcyclist when she was driving on the wrong side of the road, claimed diplomatic immunity and fled the country, she eventually returned to the UK to be sentenced to... 8 months in prison suspended sentence.

I've been using Elk for the last few weeks, it's really good and a brilliant example of how to build a performant PWA. I prefer it to the standard client and the others I have tried. It "feels native" despite being written in JS with Vue.

It's incredible what they have achieved in such a short about of time, the first commit was November 13th. It's a testament to both the people building it but also the tools they are using, Vue.js and Nuxt.

A number of the developers are core team members of Vue and Nuxt so it is the perfect codebase to study for inspiration and direction on how to use them.

Not at all stupid. I'm sure people are already using ChatGPT to generate unit tests. There are limits, of course, given that (for now) it doesn't have the full context of your code, but it's definitely capable of generating tests for pure functions that are named well and don't require too much outside context. Some projects have tons of these.
Those are not "too smart" engineers. Those are "too dumb" engineers, with a will to prove that they are not that dumb to the rest of the company, or themselves.
