The question is how long they can keep taking out more and more debt against the promise of never-ending growth and income from one-time development sales. The answer probably isn't "forever".

Until your comment, I had been using Chat GPT 3.5. Not only is Bing Chat more accurate (GPT 4 based) but it also provides footnotes to allow you to reference the sources for more specific information.

The code snippets tend to be bloated, but no worse than an intern would produce. A quick refactor, adding edge case handling and the code is ready to test and commit.
Nothing went over my head as you seem to think. I'm just commenting on the comment. Whoosh yourself

That seems really long for a single exam. How much time was given?
> And what is the rate per sat produced compared to others?

That feels a bit um... unethical to suggest as a good measure? :(

Along the lines of "we produce more stuff, so cutting corners on worker safety is ok".
It is flipped 180 degrees tho, innit?
The problem specifically is that people like living in cities because that's where all the opportunity is. And cities are still growing.

If that isn't addressed, fine, then that means the only solution is to plan and zone for higher density.

If the qualities that make large metros pleasant places to live are distributed more evenly across the whole of a country, such that places in the "middle of nowhere" are desirable, then the current affordability crisis wouldn't be so dire and we wouldn't need to be forced to make drastic changes in policy.
Yeah, me too. I'm no music expert, but this is what I thought of off the top of my head:

- There is a rule for determining the order in which sharps/flats are added in key signatures, and which keys result. However, the simplest key signature with flats (just one flat) is an exception to the part of the rule that tells you the key.

- Equal temperament is a reasonable approximation to other intonation systems in most cases. The barbershop quarter sound is an exception, because they form those famous chords using just intonation.
> The complaint about the types is just strange and shows a failure in getting Rust out of their head.

I second this a lot. It's very strange to me that the author is complaining about powerful type inference. In my limited experience with ReScript, I've found the type inference to drastically reduce boilerplate while providing the same type safety guarantees as TypeScript. Moreover, your editor or IDE can always tell you what the inferred type is. I am really not sure what I am missing. The author headlines the paragraph with "Where are the types? [sic]" but the types are there! They're inferred and visible in your IDE!

The provided code snippet doesn't really help illustrate the point either, IMO. It will look unfamiliar to those who've never used OCaml before, and to those who have done more than a fizzbuzz in OCaml, it will look okay.
> The only problem I can see with the scenario is that the value on a 'fixer-upper 1950s ranch' is so high that the tax on it is beyond what an 'average working class' fellow or fellowette can reasonably expect to afford.

And even that is pretty hard to find. Even if you assume a worst-case scenario, where a small tract house is now worth $3mil, the standard California property tax on that would be $37,500/yr, or 3,125/mo. That's well below market rent for such a property in any area where a home like that would sell for $3mil. Either live in it, and be happy that you get a below-market Single-Family Home, or rent it out, and easily cover the property taxes and maintenance from the rental income, creating a robust passive income stream. Or sell it! In all these situations, the inheritor is better off, even well off. :D
Well you're no longer "solo" as an entrepreneur. It's like hiring an indefatigable intern to do all the research and lashing together somewhat useful code, solutions, etc.
Typography should be left to the user agent and user style sheet.

Attempts to make sites "pixel perfect" is the worst habit from the print-world that designers brought online with them.
I’m curious, I watched something about how F1 are migrating towards hybrid drive chains, does that change the sound at all?
>Web sites now are applications with lots of interactivity.

You should prefix that with "some", or even "most". But certainly not all of them. There are plenty of static sites still around from yesteryear, and plenty still being made today.
Tesla is probably simply trying to eliminate scalping. One per customer and no reselling is a common way to do so. I'm quite far from Tesla fanboyism, but this seems reasonable to me.
> Now the program has announced the distribution of the grants, and unfortunately for Tesla, it didn’t make the cut and it’s not clear why. Having just moved its headquarters and new factory to the state should have at least levelled the playing field.

But the linked article does explain why: it was first come first served and only around $20 million for the program in Texas, as part of a settlement for dieselgate.

If moving their factory and headquarters into the state gave them higher priority in line wouldn't that be against the settlement terms that created the program? It would be weird for a settlement to have a provision like that.

This is the linked Forbes article that seems to be the earlier source:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/bradtempleton/2022/04/14/teslas...

Some numbers show in there that it gets cheaper the more stations are in one place (N-plex), and Tesla's applications had the highest at 17-plexes of chargers.

They also mention a 20% limit on electrical service upgrades, though I don't know if that would effect the 17-plex differently, or if it was already in a place with enough service, if they overprovision.
They will probably invest more in places where people can't afford the list price of $1300 a month.
This is another situation where you can put anything you want in a contract, even if it is blatantly unenforceable. This is why contracts have severability clauses.
Yeah, like all the old American companies went through that process... Ford and GE come to mind. It's a good way to externalize some risks like labor and capital investment, and ramp faster by delegating some optimizations to natural contractor competition. There's a clear cost when it comes to all-up cost and velocity of innovation of tightly-integrated components.
Curious to know what the most common source of this would be? Does having an indoor only cat put you at a higher risk?
Because of people like you most likely. There are so many reasons why young people are discouraged or plainly afraid to do things nowadays. They're being told they can't do X or Y because it's too complicated. They're also brutally judged when they show off something.

So yeah, being able to spend 6 month building such a nice piece of code is awesome and admirable, BUT ALSO being able to pull it off at this age is another accomplishment that should be applauded.

Let's support our young generation, don't do the same mistake than your older generation and don't be mad because you weren't receiving the same amount of support at his age.
A Work-Horse and Its Tools
So if the max request could be 70%, does that necessarily mean that Tesla is asking for all 70%? It seems like it would be a natural think to request the most free money possible, but it could done intentionally to obfuscate the actual costs (as unlikely as that might be).

Also, one has to wonder why the others are charging so much. I know less than nothing about other companies involved. Does Tesla sale the chargers at a loss intentionally? Are the others just so out of touch? Are the others just grifters?
Correctional Officer is the job that requires the least amount of work of any job I have ever encountered. You literally do nothing the entire day. If your facility is cool you can just play Angry Birds on your phone or desktop all day, or read a book if they're not that cool. You can get infinity overtime at double or triple pay.

Plus, you get the added bonus of making the lives of everyone around you as miserable as you desire.
Terrible Discord-like idea of username plus 2-digit extension! First, 2-digits is not enough. How many Johns are out there? What's the point of having just 100 Johns? Either make it unique or not without hardcoding this numerical extension madness!
Its installed in a way cable is just long enough to charge Rivian truck and no other vehicle.
As you get more comfortable with functional programming, the type signatures tend to get more complex for sophisticated code. Those "nasty generics" become reliable friends.

For example, since functions are first-class objects, they are often passed around as parameters to other "higher-order" functions. Explicitly declaring the types of all these functions is tedious at best, and confusing at worst.
There's no legal recourse for them but they can 100% prevent you from buying a new Tesla ever again.

Yes, it sure would be a shame if, I dunno, some execs at Experian were to experience some of the same issues that so many others have - due to the existence and ... 'management' of their own business ...

Why, going through such trials, ex opere operantis, might just sour a 'true believer' in the "invisible hand" on the whole novus ordo seclorum.*

Hahahhahahaha! Urghk, briefly part-swallowed my tongue from laughter, excuse me...

Skip the marathons - they only boost your ego at the expense of your lifespan... as, in addition, you waste productive life... just runing.
Why a lawsuit?

Here’s a better question. Is Tesla leveraging their market cap and cash reserves to capture a monopoly position on chargers? I’d want to make sure that market competitiveness is a thing. Otherwise you have a company that turns its behavior on all fronts into rent seeking.
The answer is that those with the ability did not find it sufficiently annoying. You can motivate them with a carrot next time by finding one of the people and paying them to fix it.
That looks correctly installed to me.

It's designed for Rivian cars and you wouldn't want the cable to be on the ground for no reason.

I'm interested, which part of this is unenforceable in the states (as an Australian)? It's quite a common clause, although not for cars and consumer goods, for competition reason.
Walmart is a smaller competitor to amazon in online retail. You are confused and need to review the comments in this thread.
If they haven't really been, then NAT wouldn't be working either, that's the point I'm making. NAT requires connection tracking to function, because NAT is actually an extra step on top of a basic stateful firewall, and the mapping part isn't the part that provides security, it is the connection tracking part.
Market dynamics and all that. If I buy a car, it’s mine and I can do whatever I want to it at my own consequence.

Which is awesome!!!
This is not a good article. It makes an extrapolation that's not justified. Tesla made 4 separate grant applications. Two of them included "17 activities" and requested $500,000 as eligible reimbursements. Two of them included "9 activities" for around $375,000.

This makes one project have a ratio of "$30,000 reimbursement request per charger." The other has a ratio of "$41,000 reimbursement request per charger." So there's two very different rates based on circumstances that are not in the published table.

This is a one time program using settlement money. You're only going to get 60% to 70% of the funding through the program. It's not clear what Tesla's goal was here or if these program numbers truly reflect a wholesale price of the charger for them.
My contention is that not only web-designers, but everyone who uses a word processor should get at least baseline training in typography and layout. It should be a short high-school course. The basic rules are not that hard.

It's possible to make decent looking documents in Microsoft Word / Libre Office / Abiword / whatever, but people with no idea what they're doing (and no idea that they have no idea what they're doing) easily create monstrous abominations that communicate nothing beyond "unprofessional" and scream "I have the aesthetic taste of a 3 year old".
> they can 100% prevent you from buying a new Tesla ever again.

Probably in the US. In some other countries, it's illegal to refuse a sale, if you're a store (online or offline). A buyer comes, a sale happens.
Which arguments did you find puzzling? Everything seemed pretty relevant to me
The people who provide most of the value generally have options and will leave. At least this has beeny experience.
Not technically impossible, Canonical seems to really want others to use it. Maybe it could be spun off into a separate Snap foundation.

For me personally, I don't actually have to deal with any distros except Pi OS an Ubuntu and can pretty much ignore them, so I might be a bit biased.
I would hazard that this means closures that can capture (shared) state. In Rust, a closure’s data must either be moved into the closure or outlive the closure (dangling pointers etc etc). In most other languages, GC allows closures to keep a handle to any data at all.

I think for all the criminals that are going to be released back into society at some point, recidivism should be at the top of our mind, not punishment.

If you can stop them from doing it again by locking them up in comfort for 10 years instead of discomfort for 20, then that is what we should do (assuming that doesn’t cause more people to do it in the first place).
Having spent 10 years locked up with criminals I cannot think of a single one who made more money than if they had taken a legit job. Especially bad if you factor in the years behind bars.

I remember one 19-year-old kid crying in the bullpens one day. They'd just offered him 34 years. His cousin persuaded him to come rob a 7-11 with him. When they get there cousin hands him an AK47 and says "point this at the cashier while I grab the money". Kid had never touched a gun before. Accidentally pulls the trigger and fires a shot past the cashier's head into the wall. I asked him how much him and his cousin got. $1800.
Huh, interesting. I feel like there are three parts to this:

- You can't sell unless Tesla agrees you can, this seems unreasonable.

- Tesla has a sort of right of first refusal on sales, at a pre-defined selling price, this seems like an interesting/reasonable attempt at preventing scalping.

- The defined selling price is your purchase price less $0.25/mile, less wear and tear, less cost to repair the vehicle to "Tesla's Used Vehicle Cosmetic and Mechanical Standards". This seems to be unreasonably double dipping on deprecation.
Participating in this conversation, particularly as he has been, seems very short-sighted of him.

All of his defensive comments are fair game whenever he ends up eligible for probation, parole, or whatever. And they will be used against him.
Yeah, in the US you can be refused service unless you're protected class.
It's probably a violation of the First Sale Doctrine, which is well established in US law.

From experience, appetite mostly goes away, and when I do get hungry it doesn’t take much to fill me up. My wife basically eats almost nothing, but I find I still need to eat a small amount several times a day.

I do tend to eat more candy tho than I did on other diets - several times a week I will get the feelings of low blood sugar, and a few bites usually fixes that without affecting weight loss.
I feel like I can buy things while agreeing to a contract that constrains what I do with them. Don't you?
Agreed. Reading/watching this stuff reminded me of my experience visiting Morocco a few years ago. We travelled through the Atlas mountains and into the desert regions bordering the Sahara and then into the Sahara itself. I was struck by how everywhere we went, you could see signs of how people had tried to extract water from what appeared to be an utterly arid environment, whereas back home in Ontario, everywhere you look there is infrastructure designed to manage large amounts of it. Our biggest water-related problem is that we often have too much of it, a problem that seemed scarcely imaginable over there.

If there was a space based defense system, where would these items orbit? If it's a kinetic weapon, can something launched from geosync reach the target to cover the distance in time? Since most of the ICBMs would be coming over the pole, where else could you park your satellites that would be in position to defend against incoming missiles? Polar orbits are not stationary, so would you need a constant fleet of them over head like a Starlink constellation? Lost of questions that I've just never really slowed down to think about the logistics instead of just the old school "lasers are cool! pew pew pew!" that I thought about as kid when Ronnie Raygun was in office.

Regardless of whether it's legally enforceable or not, any legal challenges will take longer to litigate than the intended anti-scalping effect over the coming year.

Until it goes through the courts, they will likely refuse the transfer of Cybertruck ownership between Tesla accounts...which is surmountable but annoying enough to discourage certain buyers.
It is a red heart on my phone.
>Decode is 4 wide, but that only matters for code not sourced from the uOp cache (which is quite large).

Yes, but decode is what we're talking about.

uOp cache is clever, but as any cache it is costly (power, area) and necessary only because x86 decode is very hard.
Right, not so much for purposes mentioned in the article, but still valuable for reefs and navigation.
"default = 100 [requests per second]"

How many new TCP connections per second.

Is this a "scraper" or a "crawler".

It appears to accept a "starting URL" and to follow links.

Opening many TCP connections is arguably still a reason why website operators try to prevent crawling (except from Googlebot IPs). As for scraping, it can be done with a single TCP connection. Perhaps "developers" instead opt to use many TCP connections and then complain when they get blocked.
I don’t know anyone who is ignoring their culpability. There has been an enormous amount of litigation against pharmaceutical companies in relation to opioids, resulting in tens of billions of dollars in settlements.
Interactivity is important if interactivity is important, and should be given the attention it deserves, but JavaScript people have always wanted to believe it's always more important than the fundamentals of text-based information, which I'd argue it rarely surpasses in importance.

People like to conveniently forget that even if you're building a richly interactive thing that's better described as an application, all your buttons, labels, chart legends, street names, links, table data cells, blog posts, confirmation boxes, error messages, form fields, comment threads, settings screens, profile names, notifications, product specs, and many more components are going to be text, and should be treated as the venerable vehicle for information that text is. Sometimes it isn't as important as other aspects, but a great foundation in typography will allow for someone to produce great results with less resources.
On the subject of implicit assumptions (like linear trajectories transform to linear trajectories), it has always struck me that there is another assumption: if A sees B at speed v, then B sees A at the same speed v.

FWIW this isn’t totally unprecedented among exotic cars — Ferrari has / had slightly different wording but largely the same impact in their Right of Refusal docs, a quick google reveals others finding similar clauses with different exotic car brands.

If they wanted to eliminate scalping then can just enforce purchase limits.

This does not seem reasonable or legal at all.
This is a very nice job. Please don't mind the jealous commenters telling you condescendingly that it's barely "good enough", if you wouldn't told them your age they wouldn't have told you that.

It's actually an impressive piece of software and you can be proud about it. I love your coding style and I wish everybody could code with the same amount of dedication than you do, I can see your efforts through each line of your source code.

If you like low level stuff, I encourage you to follow the path I did at your age, that is learning computer security. Specially reverse engineering. There are computer security challenges called "CTF" or "hacking skills challenges" [1].

If you weren't aware about them, they're filled with brilliant and very curious young people as you are. You could meet some and start wonderful projects you'd be proud of all your life. Generally speaking, I'd encourage you to find peers and start doing bigger things together, even though that being said, this is only an advice from a 32 years old dude that recognize himself through you, and what is the most important thing is to do what you prefer the most. Trust yourself you'll go far !

PS : if that is relevant, don't be worried about school. Focus on yourself and learn about your mental health. Many people developing an uncommon skill at young age may feel isolated, misunderstood, secluded, etc. Please make sure to be conscious about it and if that is relevant to you and if you need it, please seek help from a therapist, there's no shame about it at all. I'm purely speaking from experience without knowing anything about you, I'm just telling you what I wish someone could told me earlier.
