> There's also nothing wrong with engineers who program exclusively to collect a paycheck and aren't actually passionate about their work. I believe this is an inevitable side effect of the accessibility of programming today.

I only agree if the person who lacks passion can actually do the job and has experience. The trouble with programming computers is that you cannot get sloppy with the implementation details or design decisions. It is absolutely not a field accessible to people who guess too much and code by coincidence.

Often those details are also overlooked at the project planning level so it's unfair to everyone else who has to pick up their slack. It's already bad enough that the people in charge usually don't understand the project very well.
> I used to be all pro-civilization, science, research and expansion into space, etc. in the Star Trek sense, but I've increasingly recognized the natural selection aspects of this and the apparently inherent incompatibility with liberty.

Oh, that. I too have a gnawing feeling that progress of technology and civilization is fundamentally incompatible with individual autonomy. At the very least, because to the extent new advancement put more of potentially destructive power in the hands of individuals, the more control the civilization needs over said individuals, in order to protect itself from any of such individuals going rogue and using their power destructively. That's one thought, I have couple more like this, and they all add up to "progress and civilization, or personal autonomy, pick one".

British construction has bad reputation in general. They put carpets in the toilets.
It's perfectly fine for the Mac's primary use case these days: a thin client into a real computer for performing actual work.

We should congratulate Apple for building the world's sexiest VT100 and Wyse WinTerm in one box.

now they can't :)

> I can't imagine that they are requiring vendors to provide factory manuals and full technical information for free, for example.

Why can't you imagine that? It doesn't cost them anything, and the car belongs to the owner, not them.
That’s not what I said at all but is certainly a much easier goalpost to defend.

You still haven’t provided a source for that claim of yours. If you consider the other comment as fact to the point where you corrected it, then yours is just as much.

Also, next time, maybe keep track of the people you are replying to.

>> The company had been under scrutiny following an incident in early October when one of its cars struck a pedestrian that had just been hit by another. The first car threw the pedestrian into path of the Cruise autonomous vehicle. After striking the pedestrian, the Cruise AV attempted to pull off to side of the road to avoid causing an obstruction.

Wow, what wording…

Once again, this was a hit and run by a human driver who has still not been held accountable.

This is my theory with respect to hearing voices from downstairs. It only takes the tiniest little air gap to make a huge difference and I can tell there is one somewhere.

I'm not sure about the problem with direct contact with walls/ceilings, though. I suspect this is more down to the construction and the walls/ceiling being directly attached to the concrete shell, or something.

Than why are you making political arguments?
Depends on what sort of performance you're optimizing for, does it not?
It's just a clickbait title, article is actually positive in tone.
And those people shouldn't be in executive roles, even in smaller organizations. Being able to mentor people is a basic management skill and is why blindly making engineers into dev managers based on seniority is idiotic. If you have someone incapable of mentoring people unilaterally making those decisions without a counterpart that can, that's not a problem with the stack-- that's a problem with management that will manifest itself in countless other ways.
Why on Earth would it need that? It's supposed to enable integrating your car and your phone. Surely that should mean local network connection.
I was a bit surprised about their choice of example app. With tour guide/info you need to be re-assured the information you're giving is correct. But asking LLM's to write it for you is a recipe for hallucinations. I built Summer AI to do audio tour guides using old fashioned web scraping and then piping the output through LLM's just to summarize and even then use a couple of extra steps to ensure factual accuracy.

During testing I found any other approach would always inevitably make stuff up.

Not trying to disparage this work. I think it's great that you can build such a thing so quickly. But I wouldn't rely on the info these LLM's provide.

If you're self-generating from gas you'd otherwise just release to the air, your generation costs aren't changing from the spike in markets you're not even participating in. You're not buying the gas, you're getting it directly from the ground.

If you have a water well on site, does a drought far away change the cost for you to get water from the ground? One could argue you're not realizing the gains in the market by bringing your water to sale and losing out on opportunity, but those are theoretical dollars you're losing. Your actual costs stayed the same.

i'm not sure you fully read my comment.

my example posted is an example of how business interests are relevant to how livable the planet is for humans.

and then my quote is almost word for word what they said in the article.

their quote: "It seems the regulation in New Mexico has had an impact without hurting business"

my paraphrase: "yeah it seems like New Mexico doin real good with more laws"

They need to provide much, much much more proof because as regulation can have net negative affect then the burden is on them.

Why do people want their garage door to be connected to the internet?
You see, a note may not prevent amazon drivers from doing what they do, but they lose their moral ground. Now they can be shouted at if they rang a doorbell or tried to use a code for a garage door.

No more anything like this "I sometimes get delivery drivers getting pissed off at me (for some reason) that the code doesn't work. You can cut into any their speech with "English, m****r, do you read it?".
Horse shit.

What Apple wants to happen is for you to eat into your soldered SSD's endurance (TBW) through virtual memory swapping out RAM to your storage volume so that you Buy More Stuff.

I investigated my unexpectedly high disk writes and made a few changes, disabled some MacOS services, disabled write-caching for video in Firefox etc and this reduced my write volume by tens of gigabytes per day. By this point I think I'd written 50TB of the drives TBW in a year which was significant/

This is particularly relevant if you use a mac with a soldered SSD, because when you approach endurance ratings the drive will probably fail spectacularly and your computer will unrepairable by reasonable means.
Linear streaming is central to PlutoTV, which has been around for a while and is available on many platforms.

It’s not really for people “that don’t grok Netflix or Hulu”. That’s one reason, I suppose, but the stronger reasons are:

1. Licensing and cost nonsense that none of us care about.

2. Channel surfing is an entirely different way to engage with low-attention content and has its own place. You may not “grok it” yourself, but the gist is that it greatly reduces the analysis paralysis of picking movies and episodes and doesn’t make you feel like you’re sitting down to watch something from start to finish. You just surf around and leave something and let it play. The lack of control is intentional and positive, and it can be a great avenue for discovery in a world where every on-demand front page has been lost to poor algorithm recommendations.

It's funny there's a spate of complaints about how fees have crept up to the point that AirBnB is not longer a deal, all the municipalities that have ruled against allowing them to operate outside hotel regulations and yet they also announced a massive increase in revenue in profits.

I personally don't get this business at all. Staying in a stranger's house is even more disconcerting that renting out a house to strangers. I'm mind-boggled at home much business they get.
I would put Sony in my second category above. High quality TVs, and a price to match.

The fact they use Google gives me pause. My last TV was a Sony with Google and it was slow as dirt (Sony’s fault, since fixed on newer models). And it was a great TV otherwise. But I don’t trust Google not to find a way to shove ads in later.
Relevant book released last week: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-little-book-of-al...

I just began reading it with my 10yo daughter. The beginning discusses how Fermi raised the important question "where are they?", and we just started on how the Drake equation provides a set of smaller, more obtainable questions to answer.
Simple fix. Any platform that sells targeted ads has to provide an option to completely disable ads for the amount that platform makes in ad revenue from an average customer.
Not a concern for AirBnB hosts and the like, because once they let the bad guy into their house, it's game over anyway.

However, one thing that is interesting is when you get a loaner car from the dealership, and not only is there a valid Homelink recording, but the nav system still shows the start and end points for the last trip(s) the previous person took. Bonus if their phone's contact list is still there.

Always use the vehicle handover function whenever turning in a rental or loaner car, folks.
Surprised that the article never brushed on The Lean Start-up style “validated learning”.

AFAIK Jigsaw solves a different problem. The transitive dep will still be found on the module path.
Interesting take. I think it's even bigger than that. After social media hiatus (think Cabridge Analytica and Instagram for teen mental health) and then Crypto imploding people became a lot more sceptical towards digital technology automatically make the world a better place.

We have some experience now how technology created a lot more problems where we rushed into solutions without thinking of the consequences. It's experience based technoscepticism.

If social media could can polarize countries, imagine what a readily available reasoning engine can do.
Can't you, and shouldn't you, just add appropriate comment / annotation to tell the linter to ignore the next line? That way you make it clear to others reading the code that you know what's going on.
Actually, loosely-coupled microservices improve testability, too. And improve it by far if we're comparing with monoliths (where tight coupling is considered a "feature").

One of the troubling practices is tightly-coupled containerized services, though, which only gives us all of the problems of microservices at the same time as we have all of the problems of monoliths.
> the _SAME_ people

It's never "the same people".
this is an interesting point.

I would say live coding opens many possibilities, for example this one:

```

a: sin 440 >> mul 0.1

b: sin 441 >> mul 0.1

```

and you can use a loop to create 100 sine oscillators with random frequency

it's totally different from a physical synth

also there are tons of variation in terms of "patterns" for sequencing

just a unique feeling
What you describe is price, not value. Things may be priced high but have little value, such as in cases of asset speculation. Things can be priced low but have great value, such as the value of human relationships, knowledge, etc.

I think being able to spot where these diverge is really important to understanding the world and where we should spend our limited time on it.

Gig workers quite possibly don't, or at least it's a significant effort for them to.
This reminds me of the time I made counterstrike skins based on me and my friends. Seemed like a fun idea, and at first it looked great, but once we started killing each other in game, it quickly felt very ghoulish.

What happens when a new feature holds up the certification process for some reason? There are only two possible options, and they both suck:

1. Stay on the last certified version until everything is certified.

2. Incorporate the parts that can be certified.
> so I just use SMS

Get out of this 3rd world country *smug_face*

Honestly I do remember when I used the SMS lately - a once this year to contact a person whose contact was relayed to me through 3rd party. As soon as we confirmed what we are those who we are we moved on to Telegram. In the retrospect I should had just added his number to the address book and I would had seen what he is available on Telegram from the start, but I was in quite stressed state at that moment (hence the need to contact him, but that's the other story). But before that? Don't have an idea.

But overall people here just outright tell you on what platform they prefer to talk[0] from the start so you know it and your 'I need to ask people to install...' sounds... quite weird. Between all the people and different social media there is always at least WhatsApp or Telegram what everyone have.[2]

Another reason people have these apps is what they:

a) work; sure SMS do work, but sending a photo? Video? No way

b) priceless - sure, you pay for the traffic plan, but you pay for it anyway and it's extremely common now for providers to even give out a 'free' traffic for messengers. SMS still do cost money (at least for the crossprovider messages) and MMS... let's forget what MMS even existed. They are ugly and cost a ton. I'm not even sure young people, like younger than 25 even know what MMS is.

c) all messengers provide a way to conveniently send photos, voice messages (UGH!), video messages and place voice and video calls. All the things which are unavailable with SMS.

Honestly, after moving to 3G and further SMS doesn't even make sense - they are emulated on all levels and no longer a physical protocol. You can replace it with POEM (plain old email messaging) and it would be better on all occasions[1]

So yes, using SMS as anything is just another pointless American thing, along with price tags without tax and gaps under toilet stalls. Everyone else moved on because it's better. But because "it's the way" they "need it"(tm) and hence are quite defensive of anything what can even remotely change the status quo.

[0] and Instagram doesn't use the phone numbers, so adding to the phone book wouldn't help with autodiscover?

[1] hey, remember sms2email gateways? Email2sms?

[2] and amusingly enough I don't think most of people even knows what iMessage is, because even on iPhones they do use other messenger apps.
The fact that any special interest can buy influence on commercial television shows has absolutely zero bearing on whether or not public health officials have been truthful or not.

A microservice architecture is a good way to solve the problem with the monolith. The problem is the word mikro. It should have a better name. If it was called "boundary architecture" or similar it would make people stop creating to small pieces. One team should not manage 15 services.
I'm fascinated by how many examples of this kind of issue there seem to be. Seems like the kind of thing that should be fairly obvious in code review, or should be caught by unit tests.

Or rather - we know that people produce this kind of thing "on order" and we still don't think that banning the posession of this material is going to stop the actual crimes behind them being commited. Why is this any different?
