Not sure why downvoted, your comment made me smile. I wish to be as chilled parent as you are!
"You don't need to add an external dependency for that"
"You're violating separation of concerns"

I've found that kind of feedback to be useful actually. And when giving similar feedback it is received better with a small change in wording to make it more about the code and not the person. Even if that is the intention the wording does matter. For example:

"An external dependency isn't needed here, try implementing with XYZ instead."
"Split this function into x and y for better separation of concerns"

Removing the "you" removes some resistance to receiving the message .

Does Tesla sell parts? If so, do you need a Tesla tool to program/activate them?

Electronics fail more often than mechanical parts and even today with independent auto shops having access to manufacturers programming software you still have to go to the dealer for some things

I still find myself having the experience of having to unit test trivialities with direct SQL coding, lest I miss a typo, which is a (very basic) thing any ORM or query wrapper will tend to save me from.
I think you are taking a too strong stance on interpretation of those stories by holy books. What stood out to me is the case of Islam twisting Abraham story. Perhaps they were not trying to shame jewish version, but were displeased with depiction of god as "playing games" and chose to present him as "wise observer that intervenes". Just wanted to provide an extra look, but if you have some more proof/info on that interpretation (I am not knowledgeable on the subject) I would love to hear.
Well, I would call that rather disingenuous, because "free trial Slack" is certainly not the default for businesses which actually depend on it, and it's not about search capability at all: it's about retention of data.
> "This change is hard for me to read and understand"

Believe it or not, I consulted at one place where the manager decided I was the problem because I was consistently assessing problem code and team processes in similar ways. She asserted that "everyone else understood", even when they plainly didn't understand but where just going through the motions.

Said manager had a number of other issues as well. Worst gig I can recall having in the last couple of decades.
That's assuming you need the controller to do the exact same thing in the exact same way as the OEM one. But in many cases people are replacing it because they want it to do something different anyway.

And these functions are in many cases quite simple. You replace the controller for the door locks. It operates a solenoid that locks and unlocks the doors. Maybe they no longer function by calling the call center to have them unlock your car, but maybe you don't want that anyway. They still function if you press a button on your key fob.
I must note that the irony of quoting books and articles published by Cambridge University in protest of the allegation of "colonial mansplaining" is not lost on me.

One of the quoted scholars apparently has a runs a research network called "British Colonial Legalities" LOL

Ad hominem issues aside, I don't think "colonial mansplaining" necessarily means you're a white foreigner, not even necessarily a man (it's obvious this is adapted terminology from feminism). It just means you're just parroting the ideology from their (Singapore's) former colonial masters and assuming they don't understand it well enough.

TBH it's quite futile to engage with "your" arguments when all the issues (3 of them?) are already addressed in the long replies by gmerc. The rest that you probably think is unaddressed is just stuff written by somebody else, appealing to "colonial" authorities. When you've been through these "debates" you know how it goes: The western ideology is always correct, and even if theory doesn't work out in the case of authoritarian Singapore, well, they're still wrong for preferring harmless cameras over homeless bums, drunkards, and routine violence. TBH, I'm not sure why somebody would make such a weird choice, but hey, I'm not judging, and frankly speaking, if that's what you prefer, I fail to see how further discussion can be productive.
I am curious, does similar 'mushroom posioning' starts happening in last few years, or does similar incidents happened across last decades?
Both outgoing and incoming SMS used to have charges but (AFAIK) all the major plans now include unlimited SMS. I think the US went to mostly "free" SMS before much of Europe did which probably explains WhatsApp becoming the most common thing. (The only people I use WhatsApp with from the US are international.)
I'm not. I am pointing out that outspoken voices on the right throw out the law and principles when it suits them.
I find it amusing and very telling that the organizations with the most burdensome and unnecessary overhead are always the first to take an interest in developer productivity. A metric which their own structural inefficiencies are in direct opposition to.
Bad managers who want to control instead of empower are the bane of this industry.

Summary: American farming is highly productive and highly unsustainable.

It consumes large amounts of resources that can't be sustained. It dumps large amount of chemical and animal waste into the environment in a manner that can't be sustained.

Modern farming is kinda like plastics --- everybody wants cheap stuff but it's only cheap if you ignore the long term costs --- like when it starts polluting human breast milk and gets fed to your babies.

Copy and paste was the reason I remember being bandied around inside MS at the time. I made the point that I was sure they could figure out cut and paste before we could figure out everything else. Other phones like O2 had capacitive touch but you couldn’t design a whole interface around it as it was very expensive and hardly anyone had it. Apple went in big and got it to price point people could afford. It saw it as clearly game changing, but being young and nieve I overestimated the ability for other companies to effectively compete even when they could see a model of what works.
Leaving data uncollected is just leaving money on the table. It's far better to steal peoples data and flog it off. Making a product and selling it for a fair price is very 20th century.

Once you take some distance from the subjects and gaze upon the production of these 'academics' you start to notice that their entire corpus is circumreferential with hardly any references going in from the outside other than to point out the fallacies of those 'studies'. The entirety of '-studies' subjects lives inside a world of its own where self-proclaimed 'experts' in self-invented 'fields' produce 'studies' which are then referenced by other 'academics' in their own 'studies'. This has created a vast corpus of nonsense [1] which is cited by activist-politicians as 'scientific proof' of the validity of their endeavours. Most of these '-studies' might as well have been produced by LLMs and it is not hard to predict someone will train a model to come up with new 'studies' to prove this point.

There’s a bridge near where I live, identified as “Farm Rd”. It looks like any other bridge over the interstate but I’d never heard of that road before. Generally any road around here that would warrant a bridge over the interstate is one I’d have heard of. One day I looked satellite images of it and on one end it immediately ends in a grassy field, and the other side is, unsurprisingly, what looks like a working farm.

My guess is when the interstate was built it bisected private farmland and the bridge was built so the landowner could still access the rest of their property. There’s no “going” around any other way for many miles.

I always wondered how I could find out for sure and this article gave me some ideas on how to even begin searching.

A lot of people in this thread point at motivation or mental health issues. The issue is likely not so complicated.

You have forgotten how to focus. We live in a world where we are constantly distracted. This is forced on us. The apps we use compete over our attention, our workplace expects quick replies over Slack, our free time is always accompanied by a smart phone pushing us notifications.

These effects are getting stronger. Technology evolves new attention taking techniques. Our remote work culture expects faster replies as you are, in theory, always at your desk.

You can address this focus deficiency, but it isn't easy. Put your phone always on Do Not Disturb. Use site blocking extensions to limit time wasters (yes, even Hacker News). Stop being so responsive at work.

The first few weeks will hurt. You won't instantly be able to focus, and you will feel less productive due to the lower response time. But after some time, you will be able to do work others cannot. You can complete the big work you are struggling to right now. Relearn how to focus.

Their S60 phones were based on Symbian and had a web browser based on WebCore and JavaScriptCore at the end of 2005. By all accounts they were good, hackable, general-purpose mobile devices.

Then Steven Elop left Microsoft to become Nokia CEO; decided to move everything to Windows Phone; publicly pointed out everything was on fire; crashed the stock price by 85%; sold Nokia to Microsoft at a massive discount; and then finally rejoined Microsoft. If it wasn’t an act of corporate sabotage designed to obtain Microsoft an established phone vendor subsidiary at a fraction of its cost, then it’s hard to see how he could have done a better job on purpose.
> When apple went to the telcos all jobs had to do was ask "do you want access to our millions of ipod users?" and he got his way

That's actually not true, all of the telcos rejected the pitch except AT&T. There was considerable risk in it from their perspective, because Apple wanted total control over the user experience: no carrier logos on the handset, no carrier logos in the operating system, no preinstalled carrier software.

Talking about flow state and estimates? The red flag just gets bigger. You are asking me to show you that Santa is not real.

A "very senior dev" will not be handing out "1 hour" estimates to a product team. An hour of what? Billable hours? Wall-clock time? It's just not the right framing. You will notice a good senior dev will be incredibly cautious about any commitment and not hand out "ego estimates" like one hour. They will make commitments that they can keep and it will be terms of releases.

They will have experienced a decade of "one hour jobs" that have exploded so they know that even the error bars on a slam dunk 1 hour of butt-in-seat time means it's not a 1 hour estimate. An hour of butt-in-seat coding time is not a 1 hour of employee time - they've got that training course, those interviews, they need to support that thing, oh the presentation, the intern to look after. That feature you are copying? What is it copy-paste or some refactor generalisation? Measure that shit in weeks. Oh and there are 6 feature branches overlapping that area already. You also have a policy to improve the tech debt of this crusty code. There is also the documentation, training material, translations, the test suite, code review, the issue tracker... But hey, you can do it, you are x10, you boot up your machine and... your IDE is crashing because of some security update. Doesn't count in that one hour eh?!

That's not even the main issue, odds are the first over the shoulder demo of this new feature will be just the start of eliciting the real requirements.
> EVs could be a gigantic step down in complexity but that doesn’t benefit their manufacturers. It would risk making them a commodity that can be assembled from parts like an old school PC.

But the step down in complexity also makes it easier to become a manufacturer, and as battery costs come down this is likely to happen.

At which point a startup with no other way to distinguish themselves can start selling highly repairable electric cars. Customers figure out that these have a lower ownership cost (whether or not they do the repairs themselves) and start preferring them. The incumbents then follow suit or lose the market.

The main reason this doesn't happen for phones is that the market is so consolidated. The main SoCs are made by only a small handful of companies who don't publish documentation, and producing a competitive one is capital-intensive because of the constraints of the form factor. But even there it may not be permanent -- what's going to happen to phones once there is a fully-documented RISC-V SoC on the market that has tolerable performance and power consumption?
This is an excellent demo of what htmx can do to a web skeptic like myself. Everything just works as you’d expect!

> The underlying concept here is that religious-like faith/belief has a utilitarian value regardless of the actual truth or verifiability of religious claims

As far as I can tell, this is not what the paper is claiming at all.

It draws a clear distinction between religious belief and a different kind of spirituality emerging from scientific thinking.

The point seems closer to: the utilitarian benefits that religious people gain from their beliefs can also be gained from a spiritual outlook on science, which requires no religious beliefs or blind faith in anything.

This view is completely compatible with scientific progress, and is not rooted in anything other than a kind of recognition that regardless of the progress that science makes towards labeling things, awe and wonder are always on tap, available, and benefit the scientific endeavor itself.

Put more simply: getting excited about the work that you do tends to make you better at doing that work, and leads to a happier life in general.
> Spotify is actually a pretty good example of this, they've been steadily removing context for a while. It's gotten to where it's impossible to see more than 5 items at a time in a lot of their views.

Spotify is a weird one: I'd gladly pay 2x (maybe 5x?) Spotify's price simply as a database of music files licensed for my own personal consumption, provided I get to use my own Spotify client software because I don't want their Chromium-based UI[1] (for context, I'm still using Winamp). But Spotify aren't listening: they donn't want my money unless they get to control the UX, but I want to control my own UX, and even though I'm prepared to pay a premium to compensate them for their loss of access to my desktop they aren't interested.

Kinda reminds me of when Twitter Blue first launched: it still contained ads, and didn't come with any kind of Twitter API access to allow third-party clients. It's the worst of both worlds. It's definitely a part of platform-enshittification, but the frustrating part is that it's just unnecessarily harming the business via reputational-harm and poor power-user UX, and worst of all: leaving money on the table.

Then you need to adjust from there to figure out what will get the company to bite.

I also don't know your circumstances outside of work. If you're 1099'ing it, how are you paying for health insurance and self-employment taxes? Do you have a family to support or are you single and/or living with your parents?

All of that matters and makes trying to gauge FT-vs-1099 compensation in the market a little hard.
