I disagree, it read more like a stream of thought on why public transport and walking sucks, followed up with why car driving is great, a short aside on how bicycle riding isn't even an option because it's dangerous, finished up by telling the readers "please do not @ me on this or any other point in this article"

I strongly agree with his conclusion about funding transit as loss-leaders. But take serious issue with the line "We also should retrofit proper separated cycle lanes into existing streets wherever this can be accommodated alongside existing traffic" - If you're couching such a goal as "we can't affect current vehicle traffic", you're not very serious about getting a functional bike network. Bike routes will only ever be as safe as their most dangerous leg.

> I don't use a car, but don't think that all car owners are arseholes, maybe 5% are?

Agree with you here, 5% of all road users (whether they be drivers, cyclists, or pedestrians) will be jerks, and unfortunately they are the ones who tend to be the most memorable - but 95% of people are just trying to get from A to B safely and efficiently.
There was was also a 'stop ahead' sign that FSD seemed to completely ignore. Very dangerous to accelerate into that blind corner given the warning sign.
FSD uses both maps and vision to detect stop signs. This can happen when the stop sign is both obscured by a curve and not present in the map.

Would be interesting to know how old the intersection is. I'm guessing the stop sign was added or moved recently.

The obvious fix is to detect the "Stop Ahead" sign. Hard to defend FSD, they really need to add that functionality.

Their bigoted mindset dismissed how the indigenous people did things because they saw themselves as better than them. It absolutely was racist. And stupid.
Today's DC electric components use such advanced electronics (like IGBT) that Edison would find very alien.
Each of the features provided by the above apps would also require an app to be installed for Windows, too. Not sure how this can be leveled as an OSX criticism.

Yeah I have eight pages of apps and widgets and forgot how to go to the app library until their comment got me to google it. Weirdly it’s worse to use the more you presumably need to because you have so many apps.
Power over Ethernet can't do 100W. The 802.3bt supports 51W (Type 3) or 71W (Type 2). PoE uses pretty small currents, Type 4 is 960mA.

Also, PoE does have significant loss over longer distances. It isn't a problem with low power devices but would be a huge issue for higher power. It is almost certainly more efficient to send power as 120V AC and convert to USB-C.

The alternative is outlets with USB-C ports, or power strips with USB-C.

Places that use 12V/48V DC have much thicker cables. They also have shorter lengths on RV, boat, or cabin.
That was my thought as well, it would be nice if someone more knowledgeable came and explained us why it's stupid/doesn't work
same with C#
There's a related idea in Haskell, usually considered a memory safe language. You can write a program in Haskell that directly mutates memory, or does IO operations, freely, anywhere in the code. This violates functional purity and the compiler cannot offer its usual promises; your program may very well segfault from a bug in such code. But sometimes you just have to, perhaps to implement an algorithm efficiently.

Still, it is discouraged; both culturally in the language community, and discouraged through the subtle prodding of the language itself (such as everything being typed "IO", or the slightly ominous "unsafe" in the "unsafePerformIO".) Very often, the amount of code that must truly live in IO can be reduced to a few dozen lines, if that. That code is crucial to get right -- it's where the actual sequence of computation and external effects are handled. Such isolation allows the rest of the code to not have to worry about those matters.

30 years ago, I said "When Moore's law finally stops, we will go back and clean up all the kludges we committed to over the decades." Then I realized that was how we would know that Moore's law was dead - when we started cleaning up our mess.

I'm sorry to say we are there. Just after Mr. Moore himself died, his law died.

So you want to replace the cost of an inverter with the cost of a battery?

That seems like a bad trade-off to me. Batteries live 5 years? Inverters live 20+.

Inverters are also cheaper than batteries. I'm not seeing any advantage to your idea.

The worst this ever got, we had a multi-step form for data input (or as the old farts used to call it, a 'wizard'). Someone added a new requirement that meant that we went from needing data from section 3 to populate section 4, to also needing data from section 4 to populate section 3. I eventually had to draw them a diagram because they couldn't see what the problem was.

In the end we had to both soften the requirement and rearrange the 2 sections, possibly into 3.
> There is so much low hanging fruit in programming language design and nobody is picking it up

(waves) Author here! I wrote this article about some improvements to C++, but I also made a whole programming language [0] using a lot of these weird techniques. So not quite nobody!

Still, I can see why very few people do it. It's a massive undertaking. Even if one is fortunate enough to be able to spend the thousands of hours it takes to make a language, there's only a 0.0001% chance a particular language will even have a chance to make it into the mainstream. In other words, a glorious, glorious fool's errand.

One basically needs to be insane to embark on such an endeavor. But hey, turquoise bicycle shoe fins actualize radishes greenly!

Indeed :)

Makes me appreciate the explicit copy() and ref semantics in Rust.

Although I bet in most cases such a method gets inlined so it doesn't matter.
I'm just talking about DC inside the home. To the meter it should still be AC, then pushed into a battery bank. The house should only use the battery bank (i.e. different battery packs that are dedicated for different parts of the house - like the breaker box - the battery packs exchange power between each other and the grid as needed.

This way DC -> DC fast charging could be a thing, also my DC -> DC oven could pull a lot more Amps and pre-heat very quickly.

Inputs:

- Solar Panels -> Battery Bank

- Grid <-Inverter-> Battery Bank

Outputs:

- Battery Bank -> Washing Machine

- Battery Bank -> Lights

- Battery Bank -> Induction Stove

- Battery Bank -> USC-C to charge devices (my devices could charge so fast!)
Portable panels are almost never used in a way such that the carbon emissions it took to make them are offset. Things like how many hours they are used, poor exposure and curtailment from the use of batteries all slash the useful electricity they produce.

For almost all people they are only appropriate when you are off-grid.
It is definitely an area in which Elixir excels. My personal feeling, however, at this advanced age of late 30s, is that I just can't do dynamically typed languages for large projects anymore. A statically typed Elixir would be a dream I think. There is https://gleam.run/, but I don't know how mature it is.

I did over 120 combined interviews/phone screens/take home tests,etc for about 55 different companies between 2020-2022. Imo, unless it is for a big tech company, interviewing is just not worth it. Sadly I get too nervous to even try out for any of the big tech companies. Plus I'm white and in my 40's. Companies now really want people out of high school/code camp that can program in python or javascript and pay $25 an hour. If a smallish company is handing out take home tests they are only to waste your time. Most of the companies I interviewed for were looking for 3-5 new devs. In some extreme cases I was told they were looking for 10-30 devs in the next 3 months. Here we are nearly 2 years later and I browse the company linkedin page and the employees listed are still the same ones. They never hired anyone. I depleted my $60k life savings in my 18 months of unemployment. If it wasn't for my faith in a "God" and my family, I would have just killed myself via a stent of extreme drug use and homelessness. I haven't drank or smoked since high school. I did get a couple of brief contract jobs but was quickly fired/laid off. But that little bit of money on top of the stimulus payments are what got me into 2023. Then found a backend dev job for a porn site. There was no interview, I was the only one that applied. I now work with the worst code and the laziest people. But it is the coolest team. There are no "PC' police or HR nazis here. Money pours in. I work like 10 hours a week and feel like I'm in heaven.

Oh, but onto your questions. So yes it is frustrating. And as far as feedback. I stopped asking for feedback because it was always maligned. Nobody will really know why you didn't get hired, remember, these companies aren't really hiring unless you are young and cheap. In most cases my feedback sounded like it was almost for someone else. Like "needed more linux experience (I haven't touched a windows or mac OS since 2005). Or my favorite, after talking about a data warehouse I built to house 5TB of data and 15 billion rows, and all the different schemas I migrated through, their reason was they wanted someone with "more database experience".
Yes. Double yellow lines mean something. They are there for a reason. That guy is a jerk.
“They seemed more aggressive/playful when we were sailing at speed. Once we slowed down they also started to be less aggressive in their attacks”

This is an interesting detail. It definitely supports the leading theories, that either they’re playing (chasing fast moving things is more fun) or reacting defensively after the pod experienced a ship collision.

Orcas are afraid of literally nothing. They can eat great white sharks and blue whale calves. The only solution here is probably to explore something as a nonlethal deterrent, like spikes on hulls/rudders or an underwater klaxon.

I clicked straight on the first example of a real website that uses it, and, surprisingly, I really like it: https://soulextract.com

Normally I'm a "no nonsense" kind of guy for the web, actually preferring plain text as much as possible, but for creative/artistic stuff, it's different. It reminds me a bit of the extravagant flash sites of the early 2000s. Playful, and all the whimsy is part of it.

I even like the sounds this website makes. You'd think it would be cheese, but here it just works?

When I was running a windows machine, I kept reinstalling MS Office 2000. Why? It was snappy and did everything I need it to do. MS Office is now a 2GB install, when 20 years ago it was 100MB.

Of course there are plenty of new features, but I don't use them.
This should apply to all products. Have a framework or a library? Show me some examples, use cases, demos of what it can do and how it does it.

FPGAs will never be mainstream for replacing CPUs or GPUs: the performance overhead of an FPGA compared to dedicated silicon is huge and not going down, regardless of how open or closed they are. FPGAs have their uses in niches, but I don't think they'll ever be something the average user has in their device, and certainly they won't be the only thing in there. Anyone wishing to disrupt the way mainstream compute is done will need to make silicon, and competitive silicon (thankfully, this is more accessable than it ever has been thanks to the fabs no longer being vertically integrated with chip design companies, but it's still a very large barrier to entry). Someone with the resources to do it making a 100,000 core machine would be interesting, but I doubt the results will be very good (see greenarrays).

similarly, genetic algorithms are not actually very good. The only advantage of them is they can kinda work for a wide variety of wonky problems, but there's almost always a better option, usually one which is way better than a GA.
Good luck halting all small craft boating in the Strait of Gibraltar.

As a consume I might be able to read the standard freely, but I have no interest in buying all the electronic test bench equipment necessary to, for instance, verify that the USB-C charger I bought is fully compliant. However I’d be happy to pay an extra dollar or so to have a trusted third party do so.

To put my money where my mouth is, I only buy certified “made for iPhone”/“certified Magsafe compatible” accessories now and have had a much better experience than I did before.

The redirect behavior gives users the false impression that the old organization name is still permanently associated with them. Making that the actual behavior seems like the easy solution here.

If GitHub is concerned with people burning through names, they could either limit the number of changes before you have to reach out to support or limit the redirect behavior to just the last two org names.
I get the impression avoiding take homes is becoming standard advice. I hang out in a few communities of engineers (alumni groups etc.) and it's gotten to the point that many people see requiring a take home as a red flag. Not just because of how companies abuse it, but because if basically everyone the company has hired put up with a take home there's a strong chance you don't hire good engineers.
I saw an interview he gave for a news channel where he said he was having difficulty processing the death of his friend, who was on the submarine. So my read is that he's genuinely distraught. Remember that he's just as human as the rest of us, not a soulless corporate entity. He does have real feelings about things.

> Also, because the instructions included an "npm install" command for the dependency, the attacker's code would achieve arbitrary code execution on the devices of unsuspecting users.

This is debatable. If the owner unpublishes their old releases, then the npm install would simply fail and the package reference string is burned forever. I don't like the implication this post makes that other package managers don't require code execution to install, or that npm is somehow more vulnerable.

> Registry data is immutable, meaning once published, a package cannot change. We do this for reasons of security and stability of the users who depend on those packages. So if you've ever published a package called "bob" at version 1.1.0, no other package can ever be published with that name at that version. This is true even if that package is unpublished.

https://docs.npmjs.com/policies/unpublish

https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v9/commands/npm-unpublish

To hijack an npm package is to exploit sloppy code review somewhere in the dependency tree. The registry has nothing to do with this.

Being aware of this policy, requiring maintainers to review all changes to "package-lock.json", and keeping this lock file in your repo ("npm-shrinkwrap.json" for releases) entirely mitigates this.

https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v9/configuring-npm/package-lock-j...

It's also important to regularly run npm audit on all releases and unpublish if vulnerabilities are found in the dependency tree of that lock file. It's better to break someone's build and leave a note that they need to upgrade than be part of the problem. Even further, npm audit reports are shown to the end user after an npm install so they can decide for themselves in the event the maintainers haven't unpublished yet (or ever).

https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v9/commands/npm-audit
Anything with a motor will get a lot more expensive. AC motors are dirt cheap.

Also safety is harder on DC. For one the relays must be made much larger to withstand the nasty arcing. Arc extinguishing is much harder too.

Efficiency is a toss up. On one hand, rectifiers are very efficient and you could get by with one rectifier instead of many. On the other, they're not 100% efficient and the voltages are much lower -> more copper.

Reliability wont be as good. Rectifiers go all the time (think PC's CPU), there's no comparable failure component in the AC home.

Overall the idea has merit, mainly because the most home loads are DC nowadays anyway. But your AC, washer, fridge, garage opener, pool pump, furnace blower, refrigerator, dryer and dishwasher will not be pleased.
