Google could just not renew their contract with Cognizant
What if Cognizant workers shifted their lifestyles to take advantage of their ability to work from home? Going back to commuting and being pinned down to an office could now require significant, problematic adjustments for them. Also, how many of these workers are relatively recent hires, who have only experience WFH? Maybe that was a nonnegotiable reason why they took that job in the first place.

If Cognizant was still doing WFH in 2023, it must mean that it's worked for them as a company. I can easily see how forcing their workers to come back to the office could steam from shady, union-busting motives.
Was it, by any chance, the apparently innocuous "I seem to be having this tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle," in the Vl'Hurg tongue?
I thought no instance has reliable, complete, cross-fediverse search. I thought no instance shows replies from across the fediverse. I've heard the protocol is too inefficient to support receiving everything.
I only do that because it's stable and reliable. If it wasn't I'd get a power wall or similar.

Instability seems to happen at times of peak demand. Which is notable in that it pretty much never overlaps with times I charge my car.

> All of my environment controls are on buttons and knobs beneath the screen.

Indeed people aren’t complaining about stuff like this. My friend just bought a new Subaru that has 0 buttons. It now takes two presses on the not-very-responsive touch screen to change the power of the seat warmer. Same with all of the other environmental controls. It’s not just less tactile, it’s much slower.

Personally I appreciate having a screen of some sort for music and navigation, but for things that I’ll be changing often while driving such as environmental controls buttons are the way to go.
Did they just take down the whole model?
What do you mean by no one is satisfied with the feel?

I suppose you actually mean it is hard to get a strong majority?

One potential solution would be to make a modular system. You could even “sell” it as a “skinnable” DUI (driver user interface; why didn’t this acronym catch on???)

This is a false dichotomy. Penal labor should be paid.

I think you have a lot to learn about the average commute. Why would people, whose employer made record profits during COVID/WFH, want to spend often hours of their day doing unpaid commuting to an office where the work is exactly the same as it is at their home?
Firefly is over twenty years old at this point, it's no longer a contemporary sci-fi show, and its status as a cult classic is really played out at this point, let it go.

Driving itself is an analog activity. Turn a wheel. Press a pedal. Check a mirror. Glance at a gauge. Judge a distance. No place amongst all that for fiddling with a touch screen. Voice commands may be another matter, however...
There are some good folks on these lists too but yes they do seem to attract a concentration of the narcissistic self-promotional hussle-culture types that are all hype and no substance. Folks more concerned with the appearance of doing something great than actually doing something great. Unfortunately the media falls for these types hook line and sinker hence all the magazine covers, big talks, puff media pieces and other nonsense leading up to their eventual downfall when people figure out what’s really been going on.

Folks should be under no assumptions that some rigorous process goes into making up these lists. Much/most of getting on a list is the result of heavy targeted promotional efforts by folks or “their team” to get on the list hence the oddly high concentration of fraudsters and shysters. People are very serious these days when they say they’d triple check someone just because they appeared on one of these lists given the reputation for the above.
I've seen both in bioinformatics, because the field is so wide now.

1) Bioinformatics as tool-building, algorithm-dev: you're right, you don't need to know much biology there if the problem is defined well.

2) Bioinformatics as a tool to answer biological questions: here I've seen ML-background people really struggle, either developing stuff that's not useful or reinventing-the-wheel-but-now-it's-deep-learning. I've seen ML people present their fancy plant disease image detector which turned out to be pretty good at spotting 'yellow' - very good at training accuracy and benchmarks, does not add anything to what people in the field are doing.

Minor nit, this is probably what you meant but it’s process per _connection_.

Yes, I'd love to have the touch bar as long as still had the function keys. It was not terribly useful, but it was very expedient for stuff like controlling volume.
Don't forget Kubernetes.
It would be best not to change what the buttons do very much. It could add unnecessary levels of confusion. "OK, I think I hit the wrong button, and now I'm not sure what mode the system is in... better look down at the controls while I drive along at 60 MPH."

Maybe I'm biased. My old car has a great UI. No touchscreen, just a panel of physical knobs and buttons for media and climate control. The phone integration could be better, but that would really just mean a place to put my phone (without clipping it onto a vent) and a stereo that lets me play/pause/skip songs on my phone using the car's physical media controls.
I miss those end-game animations in Solitaire! If you can bring those back to life it's truly perfect.
Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Google hires contractors for the very reason it’s easy to stop using them if needed - they dont actually work for Google itself, but either through a temp agency or as an independent contractor.

So who is the union negotiating with? Their agency? Or as a B2B relationship with Google?

And yeah, it’s in the article “Those workers opted to drop Google from their petition.”

So they wont bargain with Google, so what stops Google from ditching the contractor agency and getting another? Nothing i assume.
Yeah seems like physical controls for input, screen for output is the sweet spot.
Isn't the argument that those forums are much better designed than Mastodon. From the other recent HN article on mastodon, where the author writes their own server, the protocol seems horribly innefficient.
As a developer that needs to use Kerberos for authentication between hosted services, I can say that Kerberos is simply awful to debug. When you have a failed login (refuse to auth), it is so hard for the _average_ developer to debug. We have pages and pages of cookbook solutions to various problems. Some issues are purely due to Kerberos complexity, and other issues are due to each programming language and their implementation of Kerberos. Most developers have no idea how SPNEGO works (Kerberos auth over HTTPS). I spend a lot of time on these issues, and I only have a surface understanding of SPNEGO. Oh yeah, and there are many subtle issues of Microsoft Active Directory (AD) vs MIT Kerberos.

There's an assumption that 30 under 30 means "here are 30 vetted folks under 30" instead of "here are 30 people with less than 10 years experience lapping veterans, take note" -- and that note is either a techtnonic shift in an industry the old guard is asleep on, or... something else.

Given the incident rate, maybe there's a more profound shift in our society. I hate the term post-truth, but maybe financiers are either more gullible, or more willing to look the other way? Nah, it's just the cheap money and the end of it will fix this up in a jiffy.

If you were hired while working remotely, and were doing your job, how is mandatory RTO reasonable? Mandatory RTO is uncompensated time for the employer in the form of commute hours. It's paying for gas. It's mandatory child care payments for people with children.

I have yet to hear of a single mandatory RTO policy that compensated people or that provided any compensation at all for any of the incurred time or financial costs that mandatory RTO forces onto employees. If you were doing your job effectively without having to be in the office, mandatory RTO is unreasonable. If you were originally hired under remote work conditions, it's also a clear change to the employment conditions you agreed to.

Mandatory RTO costs me between 12 and 15 hours of time and around $70 in gas, and that's only 3 days a week. So these aren't irrelevant sums of time or money, especially given that these are contractors at the low end of the pay scale.

I think mazdas all donthis and always have. They had touchscreens for abwhile and then went back to buttons around a non touch screen.
> Its just bad UI, companies in the past tested their products and solicited feedback before casting it in stone.

I think touch screen has changed the landscape. The rapid development of touch user interfaces has put a tremendous pressure on car companies with time to market needs and they somehow got misled into thinking that they can do the same with "we can fix it in the software" mentality. Wish it was that easy.
It'll be interesting to see how Android Auto / Apple Car Play adopt physical controls, if at all. I guess at a basic level a rotary encoder could emulate a "tab" key when rotated and an "enter" key when pushed (keyboard support already exists in the mobile OS, of course). Until then, at least they have great voice input.
I have a CH32V203 that I'll probably add support for, along with the 307 or whatever else I can get access to easily.
Except you can't really replace it.
You need to keep BOTH for the good old internet to work.
Fortunately the wiper speed changes itself automatically, and contrary to what you may have been told by the internet, there is a hardware button that with one click brings the controls to where they can be operated without looking once you get the muscle memory. Before you get the muscle memory? Just leave them on auto. I mean, your kid is yelling. Also, auto emergency braking is fantastic.
It seems carmakers have situated themselves fairly comfortably regarding liability. If a car hits someone in "the road" the victim immediately becomes a "jay walker" and it's their fault. Otherwise the driver made a mistake. Otherwise the DOT is at fault. It's nearly impossible to blame automakers for the damage their products do.

A good example of this might be the lack of intuitive feedback regarding headlights. More and more, dash lights stay on despite exterior lights being off, giving the driver the impression that everything is normal. IIRC several countries including Canada are moving to require exterior lights to be on at all times now, but it boggles my mind that such a simple to understand phenomenon with so many straightforward solutions has to be solved through regulation instead of the automakers just, you know… doing better.

Still, despite a clear design defect and recognition by regulator agencies, no litigation is likely to occur.

Brazil judge orders temporary suspension of Telegram
I completely agree. What I want 99% of the time is basically a Javadoc showing the methods, the inputs, and the outputs, and all of the types. And if there's a short summary and an example as supplemental material, that's great.

Unfortunately, developers seem to think their contrived examples are a stand-in for actually documenting the methods. I deal with a lot of Javascript libraries like this and it drives me insane.
Lay the blame on the buyer. These things get focus group tested out the wazoo. They don’t care as much about the actual user experience but they sure do care about what the buyer thinks about it at the time of purchase. Unfortunately these touchscreens look incredibly slick and hyper modern in the show room, even if their usability sucks. I can’t deny that the first time that I saw the Tesla touchscreen I was super impressed and thought it looked sexy.

Yes. If that's the kind of immigrants you're bringing in. But most often I hear this argument used by people who want to justify bringing in a very different type.

> strapping on types to eternity.

You can write TS that way. Most people who write a lot of typescript don't though. Instead of describing JavaScript's inherent limitlessness, you can deliberately reduce the size of the infinity within any given context.

Your app just knows what values it's going to get out of a function. Your IDE happily suggests the exact right set of property names to make a function work right.

You're not really working alone because you're going to be integrating with external libraries and APIs. Many of them include typescript support because it takes the guesswork out of working with them.
Biggest pain point in adoption are lazy ISPs who actively resist the transition. Once it's mandated, like in India or China, transition happens very quickly.
It's the first result, and has a landing page with all the information you need. Maybe you should really Google that first.

Asking intelligent questions, but doing some of the legwork yourself would get better results in my experience. Wasting people's time by asking them with 0 context provided (so they know your level of expertise) often gets them to repeat to you what could have been discovered in 30 seconds. You waste your time. You waste their time. It's a selfish thing to do.
I'm not familiar with that interface, but I suspect it would have similar issues with timing tolerances as just bit-banging gpios.

My 2020 Mazda has a touchscreen (that weirdly only accepts input below 10km/h, sorry passengers), but pretty much all the important controls are available as tactile buttons / knobs. The heads-up display is also nice for checking your speed without taking your eyes off the road
https://amiunique.org/ is fun thing to look at.

Thankfully getting MAC of router or other similar network stuff would be hard from browser.
In both cases it's a cost/finance reason. "Smart" TVs can profit from selling customer data and touch screen cars save some cost over tactile interfaces.
There's a single URL for OIDC IdPs too. It's not supported in every web app for the same reason SAML isn't: it's a two-way exchange to set up, not a one-way exchange. In OIDC (OAuth 2) you need to register a client first. In SAML you need to register a Service Provider first. Only after you've done those steps will you be able to plug the magic configuration in and have it work.

SAML is too limited to compete with OIDC/OAuth2 on the web, but it's got some advantages for enterprise authentication, so it won't be going anywhere.

I think you can go more detailed on that and say physical controls for common, quick inputs especially ones people use while they are driving and you don't want them to look down for.

Touch screen is fine for setup screens, extra info, fine tuning stuff etc.

FWIW I've never had an issue with the wheel in my CX5. I don't use the touchscreen at all, even at low speeds.
I feel like it should be feasible to add a motor that gives tactile feedback by resisting turning by a little bit (e.g. for discrete power/volume level values within the allowed range) or a lotta bit (e.g. for the boundaries of said range).

Re: multi-functional sliders, I do know that motorized sliders exist in the pro audio space (e.g. to be able to program presets on mixers and such); shouldn't be too hard to adapt them to multiple functions (probably with some sort of indicator on or adjacent to the slider to show the function being manipulated).
