Tesla reinvents carmaking allowing die cast underbody of an EV in one piece
The instant consumption of electric cars can be measured as kW which is power, but the overall consumption will more commonly use something like kWh/km which is a force unit (equal to 3600 N); and the ratio between the two is the average speed measured in km/h.

Is this related to the answer of your original question?

[Yes technically you'd more likely see kWh/100km or Wh/km, but the result is a silly unit for speed].
What gives you this certainty?

Prisoners are defacto slaves.

HB1 are defacto slaves.

Outsourcing is defacto slavery.

Working for the same wage everywhere,that barely affords you food and roof with no chance to improve your fate, is slavery.
Slavery is all around you.

A lot of those if-/case-blocks are precisely where I'd put functions :)

If you changed a bunch of those to separate, pure (i.e. side-effect-free) functions it would if nothing else make unit testing a breeze, and then you'd be free to fix bugs in the logic without fear. As it is, if I had a bug in that huge function I'd be really worried about breaking some edge-condition or implied-state 500 lines up etc.
I still prefer the one the right. I'm able to skip entire sections of code, and assume what the function does. Only if I require details do I go deeper.

The comments are metadata, and where function names are tied into the code. One is going to stay up to date. The other isn't.
Dear Lord I hope not.

Imagine Musk getting a hold of this - he would be churning out duplicates of himself by the dozens.

Little, insightful and funny comparison of 16 queries and 6 language models (ChatGPT4, GPT4, Claude-2-100k, Llama-2-70b, PaLM, Pi).
Oh, absolutely, but the approach I mentioned is a little more convenient in some instances and provides a good balance IMO.
When doing symmetric encryption you usually need a nonce or IV, which is also sent to the other party along with the ciphertext and authentication tag. Why does the API for libsodium allow you to specify your own nonce and keeps it separate from the ciphertext? The function crypto_secretbox_easy includes the authentication tag in the ciphertext, but you still have to provide the nonce yourself and it is not included in the ciphertext. Wouldn't it be easier still if the nonce was generated within this function and also added to the ciphertext?
If there are any profits to speak of, then clearly either already enough is spent on R&D or nothing at all.
So your way around is by baking the data into the executable instead?

How good of a ”solution” is that in reality? Like what if you were tasked to decompress multiple different files? Would you bake does into the executable aswell?

Personally, I would count this way around as invalid.

I still have both that impromptu standing desk and a very large sitting desk with ultrawide displays, etc. What I do is to take calls on the standing desk (I typically pace while not speaking or presenting) and code/write on my normal desk.

I may some day move to a permanent sit/stand desk, but I have so much gear and my main desk is so big I have had trouble finding a suitable replacement.
I don't understand your argument. Are you saying we don't have land? Or that we don't need money? Fitting 100 people in the space of 5 cars sounds a lot worse, not better.
Everything you've listed sounds horrible to me. Tight shoulder to shoulder walks smelling each other's farts and bad cooking is a step backwards. If you want that, that's fine, there's plenty of land available to do that with. Go do that. It's obviously not popular or we would be doing that.

I use magit. You want a UI that allows you to easily see the changes in your worktree and add those line by line to the index, if necessary. Of course, you also want it to be easy to add whole files or hunks too, as always going line by line would be insane.

A good commit means a good version. That's what we're doing after all: version control. Every commit you produce should be a valid standalone version of the software. Commits can build on each other, e.g. you can add feature a then subsequently add feature b that depends on feature a, but a maintainer should always be able to only take feature a, there shouldn't be bits of feature b in there, and there shouldn't be fixes for feature a in feature b's commit.

With practice you can learn to make rough commits first then clean them up into proper commits later. For example, there are "end of day" commits and there are fixup commits. Those are both valid uses of git, but you shouldn't be exposing those to your team. You need to rebase them before sending them. A good git user will sow the seeds for a smooth rebase early.
How likely is it that OVH is next?
I was just listening to Scott Galloway's podcast where he suggests if you're a big enough percentage of any market you should be regulated as if you are a monopoly. My opinion is you should not be able to have both sides of the same business (search and ads in the case) in the same company and certainly bundling a flipping ad network/surveillance system in your "free" browser is an astonishing situation. The power Google exert over the Internet is enormous.

Policing words that imply criminality is not a way to not be guilty of abusing your market position.

And more importantly: with "normal" computers and OSes, you can just upgrade the operating system to the next version. So even though a computer with Debian from 2008 did not get "15 years of updates", it still runs a current and supported operating system today.

It has only started with this smartphone madness, that you cannot install a stock OS of whatever version you want and are dependent on manufacturer or community for device-specific images.
I'm not sure I'd call Tesla "superior" to the "Big 3"

In most spaces that I tried to ask questions about this topic, when first wondering about the contradictions in this ideology, I was pilloried and sometimes even banned from the space. These were typically leftist political spaces where I was already a participant.

So I listened and learned, and ended up realising that all of this is built upon unfalsifiable beliefs that I have no obligation to accept. Like, a man who calls himself a woman is a woman? Nope, not affirming that nonsense.
You’ll never believe how effective this one weird trick is!
Going further, I'll take a 1000-line shitty code, over split-to-small-functions shitty code. In the long code, all I have to think about is the code. With the functions, I have to pay attention to what calls what, also also because the code is shitty, surely the function names also are, adding two things at the same time to the confusion mix.

Let's be a bit more specific. GM made $8.9 billion last year on $157 billion of revenue, a 5.7% sliver. A large portion of the costs to earn that revenue is labor, and they are asking a 40% increase of those costs, while GM had said 20%. This is a company with $118 billion in debt, which is increasingly going to roll over to much larger interest payments from now on, due to the Fed Funds rate of 5.25%. And they're trying to reinvest those profits into the transition to EV. If they don't do that, they're dead. This is also a company that made profits before going bankrupt just 15 years ago, which our taxes had to pay for. I don't want to see employees out of jobs ("every auto job is a good job" -UAW), nor do I think UAW is entirely well meaning when they've been shown trying to weaken EPA regulations[0] so they can pump out more polluting Camaros and Cadillacs for the past decade while Tesla created EV's.

Subsidies for suburbs go deeper. Spread out houses means longer water pipes, electric lines, transformers, etc., paid and maintained by local governments. You might pay more taxes for owning more land, but nowhere near as much as what you owe your community.

Not if the code makes sense. If the code is well written with elegant abstractions, slim interfaces and decent documentation, you often don't need to bounce around that much. For example how often do you read source code of your language's standard library? I almost never do, I mostly just look at method signatures and maybe read some docs if it's a bit complex or new.

The whole point of interfaces is that you're not supposed to care how a method is implemented, only what it does which is explained by a combination of context, naming and documentation. But a lot of devs don't understand(or care about) this, so they write code that doesn't make sense and then it doesn't matter whether they made it linear or modular. They do things like make a service class where you have to call one method to get some data and then you have to call another to get some other data and then you have to call a third method to get some data that needs to be consolidated with the other two and now what the hell is the point of your service? It exposes all the internal complexity to the outside.

You aren't supposed to force small methods, there's no point having 20 ~5-line functions that are all only called once and do super specific stuff and have to be called in the right order etc. That's not clean code, that's more like cargo cult programming. You are supposed to abstract things appropriately so that they make sense both to new and seasoned team members, are easy to reason about and hide complexity in places where the complexity makes sense.

This is not easy to do but it is possible.

Do you have a specific example of this in mind? It sounds like a really interesting phenomenon.
Lack of domain knowledge usually increases the amount of management you need too.

In software development for example your teams become much larger because you made the wrong decisions by not understanding the scope and requirements, selecting the wrong stack and tools and hiring the wrong people.

So now you need more management all the way from HR to procurement, engineering, support and legal to brute force your way into delivering.

And all these salaries and benefits need to be paid which means now there's less money to hire and retain qualified engineers and to invest in improving your products and services.

Once an organization falls in this cycle is very hard if not impossible to change, it becomes part of the culture.
> If you want full data guarantees, with regular hard drives, you'd be looking at less than 200 transactions per second.

That sounds like an anecdote from the time before SSDs.

> "setting this parameter to off does not create any risk of database inconsistency: an operating system or database crash might result in some recent allegedly-committed transactions being lost, but the database state will be just the same as if those transactions had been aborted cleanly. "

If your application is told that the transactions were committed, but your DB actually hasn't, you got a problem, methinks.

While there is a glyph like that there's no nice way to access it. There is no font feature to enable slashedzero by default and slashedzero is not mapped to U+0030 U+FE00 (Unicode's standard variant for an explicit slashed zero). Instead it's only accessible using the private use codepoint U+E007 and then typically doesn't get copied as a regular zero.

But more generally the font has an empty GSUB table which would be used for such substitutions. I'm wondering if the cockpit display maybe misses support for that and that's why they tried not to use it for anything.
Functions have never been about simply being called different places.

Honda's latest EV: A rideable suitcase
The experience of Tesla clearly shows that this is a completely inaccurate picture of what motivates R&D. For decades big automakers took steady profits but declined to spend much on R&D, preferring to make incremental refinements to a conventional product. When they were challenged by an efficient upstart with an innovative product, the threat to their steady profits suddenly made them decide that they were prepared to spend on R&D.
The claim was that fido protocol is better than totp protocol no matter where you store keys. Your claim is that hardware key storage is difficult, but it doesn't differentiate between protocols: if you lost a device with hardware totp keys, you're not in a better position than if you lost a device with hardware fido keys.

Tell me you have never worked with hardware suppliers without telling me you have never worked with hardware suppliers.

Imagine that the part you want (given the constraints, etc.) has maybe two suppliers. You pick one of them and use them in your product. Then they drop support and you pull this stunt. What do you think will happen? People will storm the company with pitchforks and they'll quietly release their full source code and promise to never do that ever again?

No, what's actually going to happen is you're going to write a blog post, Hacker News is going to be like "yeah I worked with that supplier once, never again" and the average consumer is going to be like "who is this company?" and it will be forgotten by next week. Your reverse engineered drivers, which you of course spent millions of dollars on hiring top-tier engineers to make, will ship and the company will immediately sue you for infringement. Maybe if you did a very careful job you might be able to claim some sort of interoperatability defense and win the case years from now. Before then the court will grant an injunction preventing the sale of your device.

There's no need to tell the supplier that you will never work with them again. You've ruined the relationship already. And the other supplier? They probably won't work with you either, because they're doing the same thing and would like to keep doing it, thank you very much. Oh, you think you're Google so people will care about your business? They're selling 10x the volume to Samsung for their smart fridges. And now you get to I guess create an entire division to create a Bluetooth chip from scratch. By the way leadership wants to ship Pixel 9 on time so can you please have it ready by December? And it needs to support all the latest features because it would truly suck if Apple shipped Bluetooth 6.5 support before we did.
I agree with this sentiment, but I’ve always wondered about a person’s face or appearance and how that might correlate to other traits.

I think we could all agree that a person’s face might indicate ‘shiftiness’ or ‘meanness’ and that there is a decent probability that you’d be right in your assessment.

Has there ever been studies that correlate face types with personality traits?

Tight housing didn't solve that. In fact, everywhere there's a homeless camp happens to be right where there is tight housing. Because the corporations building your dream community of prison block housing is still charging a lot for it. It's not creating more housing for the poor. That's just what the developers' marketing agency told you. Housing shortages have nothing to do with land shortages. They have everything to do with banking and mental healthcare.

Back in college I took a class in Prolog.

We had to implement a Sudoku solver and at some point I got stuck.
I was trying to bring over my imperative programming mindset, I had written a solver in Java before and I tried to port over the Java code to Prolog, which did not work at all.

So at some point I started over, and wrote some simple Prolog code to check if the Sudoku is valid.
Then I realized that I could also run these predicates to solve the Sudoku, and I completed the solver in under 10 lines.

It was a real eureka moment, Prolog is very powerful, but criminally underused in practice, fortunately I had the opportunity to work with Datalog and OWL.
