It's interesting to read how many comments here underestimate the sophistication and expertise of mechanics and car thieves, and, all of the poor suggestions to overcome theft. This despite the userbase being technical.

I wonder if there's a mechanics forum somewhere in which posters are confidently proposing Caesar ciphers and so on.
The most premium model is not for farmers, it's for suburbanites who like to imagine all the projects they want to work on. Likewise, the top-line ICE F-150 isn't for farmers, or you'd be complaining about how the 2023 top-line ICE costs about $85k (according to ford.com)

The existence of that overpriced ersatz luxury work vehicle doesn't stop farmers from buying more reasonably priced, less luxurious versions, and the "Platinum" F-150 Lightning won't stop farmers from getting the more reasonably priced version of that either.

A side note about Wix:

A couple of years back, I was choosing between Squarespace and Wix to replace a Wordpress site for a “brochure” website that was a huge PITA to update. When I looked at Squarespace, they provided no way to restore the site from a backup after some inadvertent change by an end user. Of course I ended up with Wix, but I am still baffled by the popularity of Squarespace given this ridiculous limitation.
I don’t think Ford HQ is that stupid. Dealer inventories are up quite a bit.

A nuclear power plant control software hopefully isn't connected to external systems, but fully isolated.

And yes, upgrading that is a full blown project.

It is very different from a "living" software environment with ongoing development processes.
I'll give you that I misread bullet 2, so the total is a little over 31k. But grants that fund salaries for predoctoral scholars don't just fund the salary itself, they also cover the additional funds listed on that page. You can't partially fund a trainee on a grant. In any case, this wildly misses the forest for the trees - 1.2 mil in grants does not cover 6 years of salary plus research costs for 2 trainees and 2 professors full stop.
Sure, but it still goes against the grain of the language. You could write a similar article explaining why everyone who thinks C doesn't have automatic memory management are wrong. Opaque structs are relatively annoying to work with especially if sibling modules in the same package have good reasons to manipulate the private parts directly. It is not nearly as convenient as it is in a language with better support for encapsulation (e.g Java). Most of the C code I write do not encapsulate anything. It's not worth the bother. Especially not when unit-testing for which encapsulation would force you to write lots of redundant getters and setters just for the unit tests themselves. My view is that you simply shouldn't use C if you need encapsulation.
Fun fact, on Princess Mononoke, Steve Alpert and the director of the English dub had to fight Miramax executives who kept trying to screw up Neil Gaiman's English script.

As someone who interviewed for a role last year, they're mostly migrated to Java / Python for backend services, some Go getting introduced as well. And half of my interviewers were working remotely from Spain / France / UK / etc.
I do not currently live in a dense city; I'm in the burbs.

I'm aware that this is a squeaky wheel situation, but I asked a question on a local group about a laundromat that's getting torn down - of the (last check) 38 comments on my post, approximately 5 have to do with my question, and the rest are people worrying about parking spaces if/when a small apartment building replaces it.

The disconnect you're missing here is that a max-spec F-150 is a luxury vehicle, not a working vehicle, and the Lightning is a sidegrade to that with other perks.
I'd start with the example of implementing the fastest reduction you possibly can. Pretty much all complexity in every kernel used in ML extends from this concept (reductions with addition).

I think Ford might be scared of the cult-like culture that has been created around Tesla and/or Elon Musk.

I'm not sure it's entirely clear what the Cybertruck means for Tesla or the car industry, but it's obviously not a minor event in this landscape.

Especially after so much speculation on whether or not this truck would ever become a production car.
No, I meant to ask how Oracle is going to ensure that they deliver 10s of thousands RPM packages to be sufficiently compatible with those that RHEL ships (following the rhelgate or whatever we should call it).
Agreed, much like Java turned out to be the next evolution of Java. Python is the the 'good enough at everything + huge ecosystem' language that you can't replace no matter how much cooler the concurrency paradigm.
In my experience most farmers have solar panels and spend thousands per month on fuel. The thought of "free fuel" will have farmers salivating.

Also, they're heavily self-reliant, so reducing their dependencies on regular fuel deliveries will also be highly appealing.
It turns out you have to abstract put the gun to the head of humanity form them to realize that pulling the trigger is a bad idea.

It's sad, but its very true. I also stopped worrying and love the bomb, and I'm willing to justify the US nuclear bomb usages on many grounds, namely that even after they were dropped, Japan almost did a military coup against their own emperor to keep the war going. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ky%C5%ABj%C5%8D_incident

I'd add ELN/LIMS in the same category. At first they just look like some CRUD app, but each uses a slightly different data model, different plugin system and (often outdated) scripting language built-in the system.
I am one of these engineers, but I consider the "cowboy style" a weakness and bad habit and would never ever judge another engineer over using a debugger.
Honestly, I just want a hard fork of CPython with a few different design decisions and cleaning up of stdlib to support them:

* Attributes are no longer dynamic, __slots__-like behavior for everything by default

* GIL no more

* Base off of Pypy for JIT speed

* Real lambdas (I like how Lobster does this)

* Maybe make type annotations required (but with inference)

Python's syntax is so close to nearly perfect (if you don't mind tab-delimited code, I've gotten used to it)

I think it would go over better than people fear. If you do what you can to make the core language fast enough, C extension stop being as relevant. Right now, the Python ecosystem is absolutely held back by the FFI hell that it's stuck in.
I don't have thoughts about anime, but generally dislike movie dubs as they distance me further from the original intent. I don't want another team's reinterpretation of the movie to completely replace the original expression.

So, I'd only really like a dub if it was a multilingual sound track produced by an original, multilingual team. That should include the original director, writers, and (preferably) actors and producers. To me, the original creative team needs enough fluency to review the alternate language work and keep it from diverging. Otherwise, it's about as satisfying as reading a Cliff's Notes summary of a novel instead of the actual novel.

I'd also often prefer subtitle translations if they try to hew closer to the original language including temporality. I'd rather read slightly tortured English subtitles to deliver translated parts of speech in roughly the same order they are being spoken in the original language, exposing a bit of the original language's grammar and remaining correlated with the actor's tone and timing.
> In 2009, tons of college kids were still getting in Amazon

Clearly, "tons" of kids getting into 1 company (out of several thousand just public ones), is a great indicator.

Just for reference, I actually lived through the 11% unemployment out of college. The market for fresh grads was absolutely brutal. A good 20-30% of my cohort never recovered and never broke into higher-paying white collar jobs and still works in jobs that don't require a college degree.

It was so bad, that the fresh grads of those years coined the term "lost generation". Millions of fresh grads just couldn't break into adulting for several years.

I have a friend whose only reasonable option to commute to/from work is uber/lyft. He spends more each month on that than I do on my car loan. He can't afford to make a downpayment for a car loan of his own, because he is spending that money on uber/lyft. This is a vicious and familiar cycle in America.

And the root cause of NIMBYism is the public goods dilemma. Everyone would benefit if more housing were built, but nobody wants more built near their land.

The solution is not as simple as "Just stop electing NIMBYs!" because NIMBYism is a Nash equilibrium.
In the UK we build houses without enough parking and the whole area becomes horrendous. The idea I get from reading about US "pro housing" people is that if you don't provide parking, people will still have a car and still park.

In reality in the UK every patch of open space, including pavements (sidewalks) become car storage facilities. housing estates with 4 bed houses with just 1 car parking space (plus a garage which nobody users to store a car) end up with 1 or 2 cars parked on the pavement in addition to the drive, houses in towns converted to HMOs (house of multiple occupancy, because professionals can't really afford a 1 bed flat in the UK) with 4 adults in mean 4 cars parked on the roads.
I actually thought the trackpad was better with an actual physical click. To me the versions immediately prior to making it a stationary piece of glass was basically the best trackpad I've ever used in my life. It's disappointing how no other laptop manufacturer comes even close. I approach every single new laptop like "okay, is this finally the one that even compares?" and EVERY TIME I am like "wow, yup, it's been this many years and still not even close"...
I've also heard of teams that shut down the mainframe for an hour during a time change. It's an easy way to avoid application issues for a small amount of downtime.
I've seen that breakdown before and have skimmed it but didn't really find an analytical breakdown of why style X is better/worse than style Y for person Z very useful. Tools preferences are to personal and varying. It really depends on how it meshes with your style and the only way to really test that is to try it out.
In general, if you're proud of being "ad blocker-proof", you're probably the villain.
>excellent build quality

I keep hearing this, also for phones, and people usually associate it with certain materials.

Why? I'd rather have a light plastic laptop/phone that works well, is light, and survives a few hits than an overpriced piece of fashion. Bonus points for phones with cracked backs because glass "feels more valuable".

Of course I understand the value of e.g. good hinges, keyboards etc., but pretty sure that's not what people are generally referring to.
Overall unemployment or are you looking at tech specific numbers? Anecdotally I just went through the hardest job search of my career, and many people I know have either just gone through the same or still are. I don't have numbers to it up, but it certainly feels like a rough time to be looking to me.
Telco wiring is decaying here in Western PA; signal quality and reliability gets worse every year. Customer service is nonexistent, "why won't you switch to VOIP/4G?"
So how do you detect the latest drivers or are you installing the MS drivers offered via the windows update process or trawling the manufacturers website hoping to have the right region release?

And once drivers are downloaded and new features are introduced, how do you secure those new features?

Default installing the latest drivers doesnt lead to automatic security, and if I want to eliminate bloatware I can just by the LTSB enterprise version of windows.

There is a lot of work there, which is why I ask.
That needs citation, too.
They don't have to and shouldn't, but it's convenient. That's the parent's point ("to make writing unit tests less painful").
I wouldn't be so hasty to say it is obvious (parent made no claims about calories).

Many top chess players have considered themselves athletes, and if you've ever tried to calculate under pressure at a board for a few hours, I'm sure you'll agree it is an exhausting activity. Fischer engaged in athletic training when preparing for tournaments, for example, to aid in maintaining mental focus (he wasn't unique).

It would be silly to say that 2400 Elo indicates you can run a four-minute mile, or that calculating 6-ply in a closed position burns the same calories as running a block. If the claim is 2400 Elo tend to have similar vascular flow in the brain to people who engage in aerobic exercise or something of that nature -- maybe?
Simple web browsers stopped working everywhere (android, windows) because the web moved on : root certificate lists, cipher lists, web standards.

I’ve had old tablets and windows installations stop working (as well as macs and ios) for that reason. A new Firefox installations on Windows and Mac got the web working for a while more.

Company portal I agree, but LinkedIn? What if the recruiter reaches out to you and asks you to apply?

Do you count that as a waste of time? In my experience, those have a much higher rate of response.
Correct. Most F-150s are toys. My family were die hard, dyed in the wool union Ford guys, but they finally, begrudgingly, had to switch to Toyota in the 2000s because they 1) couldn't afford Ford trucks (even bare bones ones) 2) were clearly designed for weekend toy pursuits and not real work (everything switched to electric actuation and control panels, carpeted interiors) 3) were too tall for even a tall man to reach in and grab something out of the bed from the side and 4) had a lower ground clearance than the older trucks even though they sat up higher.
I'm sorry but neither of those trim packages are out of reach for middle class, and especially if bought used, within reach of "working class" people, whatever that means as there is no fixed definition.

Trucks have shot up dramatically in price in the past few years, however.
Yeah, it does drive me crazy using laptops without a TrackPoint. It is REALLY convenient and quick to use. Daily-driving an X230 and it's just so low-friction to work with.
Conversely, 4 of my 5 employers in the last ~20 years in this industry have been through my network. I'm still I interviewing, but the process has been relatively painless for me otherwise, especially in the face of anecdotes like the GP and the OP.
That only suggests you were reaching further than your grasp. To stretch the metaphore, knowledge is the strength of one's grasp and the edge of the wheel is the hardest to hold on to. Most start further in, where things are known and easier to grasp - gradually making their way to the edge over a decade(s) long journey. This goes for nearly all research fields.

Ideas are cheap and typically wrong. Proof is the only thing that matters. I am certain some human has already stated the right idea to unify QM and GR, but so what?
I used to badmouth the MBAs at tech companies to no end, that they don't get it, just do management planning porn, aren't around for the consequences, favor sounding good over being substantive, and generally could all be fired.

I then realized later that leadership and getting a large group of humans to work on a common goal is very difficult.

The idea the other group is doing nothing is usually a perception (or a lack of perspective, lack of empathy, and maybe arrogance), usually.
> My father disconnected the distributor (correct word?) and took a piece of it with him.

Yes, my dad was used to removing the rotor from the distributor (small piece, easy to pop off and unless the thief just happens to have the correct model handy, the car can't run) back in the 60s (maybe he did it earlier).

I'm pretty sure some form of this has been popular for just about as long cars have had an electrical system.
That works on older cars, on newer cars they will run like shit if they are constantly killed. The ecu likes to learn things, the transmission ecu, the radio, all your settings. A knife switch on the fuel pump or starter would be better.
A bit of a bad analogy as, in water, the sodium and chloride are not bound together; rather, the ions are separately distributed throughout and wouldn't have the same density that they would have in a dry, crystal, ionically bound form.

You'd need sound drivers to operate the sound chip. The small PC speaker that's easy to access is also very bad at rendering speech. Playing some music seems like an excellent solution.

Oh weird... I can't believe no one wants to pay MORE for a truck that does less and does it worse than it's ICE counterpart.
There were all kinds of competing legends about Homer back in ancient times. Many cities claimed that he had once lived there. And there was even an ancient legend that both the Iliad and Odyssey were written by a woman named Phantasia, said to have been the daughter of Nicarchus who lived in Memphis. She supposedly left the texts of the two epic poems in the library of Memphis where Homer found them and then took credit for them as his own. This legend was brought to Samuel Butler's attention following the publication of his theory, but he insisted he hadn't been aware of it.

My fully functional ThinkPad plays a tune on every boot. The tune means "BIOS Password Required". Then, two tones rising mean, "Password Accepted".

I had to explain it to my mother the other week over the phone.

A few weeks ago, I was boarding a bus with a brand-new mobile fare; I scanned the QR and it turned green and beeped, I guess twice or something, and the operator summons me back and he goes, "it has to beep once", so I shrugged, scanned again, got 3 beeps and a green light, message says, "already scanned" and I asked the operator "what does that mean?" and he didn't know.

Come in, C-3PO, where could he be?
A) Cool.

B) Glad to see I'm not the only one using ThinkPads and MacBooks.
Folks flag anything here that has even a hint of a not-left-wing sensibility. I consider being flagged to be a badge of honor, because it means the OP ruffled the feathers of birds who really need their feathers ruffled.
Depends on use case. I do more than what I originally posted. I do pull a trailer with a small tractor on it frequently and move a lot more stuff than normal people do. Renting a truck would be more of a hassle for this type of work than for me to just pay the premium and own the thing out right.

> I could rent this truck every weekend for 30 years for the same price as a giant truck.

That assumes the price never increases for 30 years.
Yeah a brighter screen would be awesome. i misunderstood that the m1pro would be a huge step up in brightness from the m1air but it’s just as borderline in direct sunlight
> This was good

Was it though? It seems like a lot of "ends justify the means" from hindsight. Were all the dark patterns that Google used to insure Chrome dominance enough to justify the ends of "stop IE stagnation"? In the exact same time period Firefox did really well on word-of-mouth. It didn't need dark patterns, and ultimately lost to Chrome's dark patterns and it is harder to argue that that wasn't at least somewhat evil by that point because I think it is a lot harder to argue that the ends of "defeat Firefox" justify those means. I think it is getting harder and harder to justify that Chrome did all those evil things, whether or not you think that Chrome itself is evil.
It's not a bad pointing device, that's the thing. I can use a Mac with a trackpad for pretty much anything, including image editing. It's precise, doesn't do ghost clicks/taps, and it's BIG

I never found a non-Mac with a trackpad I could use _at all_. I always need a mouse to use my windows laptop...
That's what the ACAB crowd unironically believes.
You're not wrong. They pulled the A ports way too early. I upgrade more aggressively than a normal user (though less than a real cutting-edge enthusiast) and have only recently passed the 50/50 mark for devices in semi-regular use that use A vs C. A-terminated cords are still at least as popular on devices on store shelves, as C. This, years after Apple made a hard transition.

If they'd at least brought the rest of their line-up over at the same time, that'd help sell me on that having been a good idea. But no, have to carry at least two types of charging cable when traveling, still, even with an all-Apple set of equipment.
