Not understanding the haterade with Minis. I’ve owned mine since 2015 and I’ve had no major issues. The engine is snappy, it handles great in cornering, easy to park, etc etc.
Am I the only one that sees the most important point is missing?

0. Focus on facts in any conversation with or about the person. Keep anything that is not obviously related to work products out of it.

Yes, especially when you both don't like each other but there is willingness on both sides to achieve same or at least similar goal and have productive relationship, keeping emotions and opinions out of it and focusing on just the facts is, in my opinion, the best way to deal with the situation.

Also, don't comment, spread rumors of any kind about the person you don't like. I tell other people "I may not like the person but I don't find it a problem as long as we both want to achieve the same positive goal for the organisation."
Maybe something changed? Subarus used to suffer head gasket failures, and still suffer from this reputation despite the fact that it’s been fixed for nearly two decades.
What a disaster for VW and Mercedes, but it pretty much confirms what everyone here in Germany is saying: reliability has gone downhill, with exception of BMW and Porsche (but it'll cost you), whereas Japan is at the top for ages, with South Korea (Kia, Hyundai) providing a good, cheaper alternative.
Interesting, I thought of the 24 hours as a feature, less so a limitation.

Similar to browser games that give you a new Tower Defense map every 24h, or Wordle and all its variations, or .. "A roguelike a day keeps the Balrog away" (that's the tagline, forgot the actual name).
Americans passed on passenger rail due to more modern inventions like the automobile. Being able to “drive yourself” was the ultimate freedom. Trucking (and the interstate highway system) post WWII made it so trucks can get to every major city without hassle. This was because of the rail system being clogged up and some railroads failing (merger). People are starting to come back around to passenger rail service as more younger adults forgo the traditional driving right of passage. Sun rail in Florida for example. Metro subways. Etc. For longer distances, we have Frontier Airlines which is like the Greyhound Bus of the sky. Tickets are dirt cheap and you get what you pay for. Americans also designed their cities to be driven and not walked so we kinda went all in on “Ford” early.
Off the top of my head, Alteryx is the market leader. It's pretty good but I don't think it supports XML or json (otherwise you could basically build a no-code web app).

The only other one I've tried it MS Power Automate, which is pretty underdeveloped. Lots of opportunities if you want to develop add-ons and extensions but I don't think anyone uses it for anything other than automating SharePoint and Outlook and other things in the MS ecosystem.
It remains to be seen how an 8 year old Tesla fares against an 8 year old Odyssey.
I'm also confused by this. I actually dislike the antsy "what happens next" feeling, because it's a better-than-even shot that the upcoming twist I can feel coming up is just disappointing and not worth the buildup. I'd much rather just know what's going to happen and appreciate the artistry in invoking the buildup, then how the twist is touched on by every other part of the narrative.

I also try not to spoil anything for people, but I will almost always spoil myself as soon as I get any real interest in what's happening, so I'm not distracted away from appreciating the craft of it. [It also means if, e.g. the character that intrigues me the most dies off early, I can just not participate in it.]

For example: The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones is a horror novel, which is alright, but the angle of horror it's taking is $familiar_theme + $native_framework. Knowing this makes me more happy to read the book, not less. Otherwise I see some really dumb opinions, like panning The Only Good Indians for having native american-centric conflict in it... when it is very clear in every jacket, blurb, author bio, etc. about the book screams "this is about native american stuff".

The paradox is that hybrids have MORE potential trouble areas than ICE but less reported trouble.

There seems to be a lot of trust in IFF in this incident, what would stop Iran from reprogramming their F-14's IFF to identify as as civilian aircraft (or if reprogramming isn't feasible, retrofitting a stolen civilian airliner's IFF system into an electronics pod on their F-14, I'm sure the Iranian government wouldn't have any trouble getting an aircraft from Iranian Airlines)?

Do warships do any verification beyond reading the IFF ping aside from looking for attack patterns like climbinb/decending, etc, it still seems possible for an attacker to get within missile range while still appearing on radar to be a civilian craft.
From the article:

> Cars, including sedans, hatchbacks, and wagons, remain the most reliable vehicle type, with an average reliability rating of 57 (on a scale of 0 to 100), followed by SUVs (50) and minivans (45). “Sedans have fallen out of favor with consumers, but as a class they are very reliable,” says Jake Fisher, senior director of auto testing at Consumer Reports. “They often have less of the latest technology and features that can cause problems before the bugs are worked out.” Pickup trucks come in last, with an average reliability rating of 41.
I think getting the passengers to flap has a similar physics outcome.

Thanks, this is indeed all I'm looking for.
The linked article differentiates cost of ownership and reliability. An unreliable car can be low-ownership-cost if it's under warranty.
I think XPath would be the XML analog to jq.

It would be cool to be able to use XPath to query JSON. Of course you'd need to come up with a good mapping between JSON nodes and XML nodes.
RAG: retrieval augmented generation
That's a snappy take, but it definitely doesn't feel that way to me as someone who did use mainframes a bit and big shared unix servers(not mainframes) quite a lot at points in my career.

The defining characteristic of the mainframe experience for me is extreme rigidity. Upgrades are practically impossible, scheduling time on the mainframe requires lots of forward planning, notice or having a close relationship with a sysop that you can buy drinks for to get jobs to jump the queue.

Cloud on the other hand brings scaling on demand scale up/scale down for bursty workloads, very quick to experiment with different configurations etc. The exact opposite - flexibility is very much the name of the game.

Shared unix servers (not mainframes) were also very different from cloud in this way but also had the difference that you were always in very noticeable contention for CPU and io with other users, whereas on cloud you are almost always on dedicated resources for your use case. I never really felt contention on mainframe workloads because they are so goddamn slow all the time it's pretty much impossible to tell if you're contended or not.
I feel the same. I mean, if I heard "I want you back so that we can control you better" or "We're afraid you are doing side jobs", I would be probably as mad at them as now, but at least I would feel some respect for them being honest.

I mean, really, why should I feel any loyalty if I know (and they know, too!) I'm lied to?
So we chose to make developer‘s life easier at the cost of inconveniencing the user. I think it should be the other way around
Even in Star Trek it wasn't this horrible. The touch buttons were mostly unchanged and in the same place. See the 'pilot' consoles in the first episode all the way to the last, they are exactly the same. No weird 'modes' or different screens.

It is not too farfetched to assume they had some form of haptic feedback (or something even better). They might as well feel like actual buttons to them.

The real life implementation is far stupider.
I really don't know much about the topic, but if you call this article essentially useless biased trash, it might be useful to explain why?
If you don't think a lot of people don't already optimize for quantity, I have a bridge to sell you.

I do get the point that LLMs make producing crap easier but that's somewhat independent of LLMs being used generally--which is going to happen in any case.
For example the Mach-e has had issues with contactors welding open during heavy usage and charging as the same part was used between the standard and higher performance model.
I wonder if hybrid being more reliable than gasoline cars is simply a function of most of those being Toyota, versus any effect stemming from the car being Hybrid.
Okta isn’t a password manager. It’s an Identity Provider.

I use a password manager because I have multiple devices and a cross platform solution that I can access is a straightforward solution. A local password manager like Keepass is still vulnerable to attack by a compromised system. A well architected password manager is going to not store the decryption keys on their servers and only allow the password vault to be decrypted locally so if they get breached, they would still need to have your master password to gain access to the data. A malicious update could allow them to steal your information but so could a malicious Keepass or OS update.

Using a password manager with a strong password and multifactor authentication is mitigating so many security issues off the bat the new risks it introduces can be small.

Bitwarden has not had any of the problems you listed and can be self hosted.
I guess that most applies to the Prophets, who were warning a sinful nation of impending destruction, but it still seems like an oversimplistic view of the scriptures. Even in the Prophets, God's love and mercy are emphasized many times.

Whether I agree or disagree this doesn't have anything to do with governments legislating that Google pay the largest media companies some money for linking. I absolutely see value in a healthy media system but massive companies owned by billionaires paying each other would not fit that definition for me.
This sort of business doesn’t have to immediately realize a profit they just have to expand their base of customer and dig their claws deeper into their customers core infrastructure. Once they do that they can exploit their customers for years before they’l be able to escape. Since they are frequently going to be competing in “lowest bidder wins” competitions they’re be foolhardy to try and make a profit up front honestly, counter-intuitively it would be lighting money on fire. This is also a product with pretty substantial benefits from scale, as Okta gets bigger more things integrate with them so they’re easy to integrate with so they get bigger…

I’m just wondering who in the industry is still stupid enough to stick their neck out for Okta? Why are they getting new customers? Why not go with the other devil you know your cloud provider to offer mostly the same services? What is Okta offering when they seem relatively incompetent compared to the competition that often offers their products for cheaper up front?
I'm partial to "Chief O'Brien Suffers: Vol XXXVII: This time He's in Mind Prison", pretty twisted episode.

Just to clarify what I meant, it's the regulatory aspect. The FDA wouldn't even accept a new drug application for the indication of "longevity" or "lifespan" or anything like that. It wasn't considered a valid target / disease.
Honestly, it's hard to say, since I think I'd get tired of just about anything if I did it for too long/without any changes. Zelda Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are pretty close to me (and I played the former on/off for like 5 years), and I'll always probably be able to play a multiplayer game like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but a bit of variety will always be necessary.
I am not denigrating the benchmark game in this comment, I am saying that the paper does not convincingly make the argument for its thesis. I know you are proud of your work. You yourself encourage people to understand exactly what the benchmark game is and is not. Suggesting that it is representative of all programs is something that you yourself literally have in the FAQ: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

> We are profoundly uninterested in claims that these measurements, of a few tiny programs, somehow define the relative performance of programming languages aka "Which programming language is fastest."

Just because I do not think that using the Benchmark Game is a good idea to demonstrate their thesis does not think that I do not think the Benchmark Game is bad.

Additionally,

If XML tools aren't open enough for certain needs, then sure, I get it. But it's tragic to see highly-engineered, pro solutions just die out because younger devs don't like the learning challenge or because business owners are cheapskates.

Local backup strategies are often terrible and untested, if they even exist. While no service is infallible, 1Password and others seem a lot less likely to be lost/stolen/destroyed than a personal laptop.

I'm not sure why you're rolling Okta in here, but Okta can a completely different thing depending on what you're referring to.

Single sign-on (with something like Okta) makes it so that a user doesn't need to manage a dozen passwords and enables an organization to limit access of a user's account if needed.

If you use an app with Okta SWA, you (as the admin) can create a password for users so your users don't have the responsibility of making a strong password. But this is only for stuff that can't use OIDC/SAML.

Ideally you'd use Okta with OIDC/SAML with your applications so your individual users won't have static credentials, and in this case, there isn't really a parallel here to some software you'd run locally.
This is brilliant.

Are considering crowdsourcing the data from more people? It looks fun, and could save me time in the future, so I think this could be worth doing
I'm pretty sure you could do this using hardware performance counters, but I never actually tried, so I might be wrong
Don't use linuxserver images. My feeling is they were done by someone who doesn't understand docker very well. Frequent use of supervisor, lack of logs on stdout, weird automagic config approach.

It may feel convenient if someone did homelab without docker, but will bite you in the long run.
There are well-defined accounting rules for that, which also applies for joint-ventures, holdings and any holding structure.

In a way, we should be thrilled that the perception is that in-office work is better: less outsourcing. If i can work remove from Indiana, I can work remote from India.

I'm very surprised that the takeaway from COVID wasn't just to have people work remotely from the lowest-wage countries in the world.
No, but they do have some collabs together
i don't think it's weird, reputation is one of the whole reasons for the existence of brands. If an ICE brand is willing to put their reputation on the line to bring an EV to market, that means something different than if they were to market their EVs under a new brand name.
They have partnerships like on the FRS/BRZ and Toyota owns I think a 20% stake but separate companies.

Well, yes but then also newcomers to car design world make tons of design mistakes that seems clever at the start but do bite back later.

For most folks buying a car these days, if they choose EV its not due to environmental concerns, not primarily or secondarily, at least I don't know single one person among EV owners. They just want a reliable car, and 130 years of fine tuning combustion engines can end up more reliable in say 15 years than shiny unproven electric design (single case 1 but I can provide such - my previous bmw e46 vs tesla model s of my colleague, or model 3 of another colleague).
great, now what are the applications and how will this be commercialized into a torment nexus?
I think a more interesting application of this process is to attempt to find easier, safer, more reliable, or more efficient methods of producing or processing existing materials.

See: the more or less accidental rediscovery of room temperature polyester/PET recycling (including separation from blended fabrics without damaging the cotton) using CO2 as a catalyst.

There exist quite a few cases of very simple solutions to very difficult problems where the start and end products are already known, but we just don't know how to effectively get from A to B without causing certain undesirable side-effects.
> and they lagged years behind everyone else on selling electric cars

I thought part of that was that they were big believers in hydrogen?
> Pickup trucks come in last, with an average reliability rating of 41

That surprises me because I've browsed a lot of use vehicles and it seems to me like pickups can go to way higher miles than cars. I see a lot of them still run fine with 150,000+ miles

Maybe the owners are more willing to pay for major repairs though since getting a new one is so expensive?
Matter of time until someone hacks Meta's glasses to cheat on tests.
Yeah there’s certainly a temptation there if you’re into working in cars. Alongside your tuning/hooning remark - some cars certainly attract a particular kind of audience, although if it was really hoards, they would have probably released an STI variant for the new body :(
There is reasonable debate to be had on marginal tax rates, the correct rate of international aid to provide to whichever nation needs it today, the size of our military, and things like that.

There is very little room for debate on issues like book-banning, withholding rights from the LGBTQ community (civil marriage, healthcare), or most of the other issues the GOP uses as wedge issues.

Then there are issues where compromise should be possible, and the left largely wants compromise, but the GOP refuses. Abortion and guns come to mind. The GOP is currently hellbent on banning the former outright and ensuring easy access to the latter. Most of the political left would be happy with some reasonable compromise on both (and in fact, we had what most of the nation felt was a reasonable compromise on abortion until very recently).
It isn't just about electric planes: Rolls-Royce were trying to be G.E. and failing.

Rolls-Royce said it would cut 2,500 management and administration jobs.

Did Rolls-Royce think they were a VC/incubator for inventions with multi-decade payoffs? Tough market.

Rolls-Royce continue to develop for the nuclear power market - I'm guessing driven by government/military money. Compare to GE Hitachi: https://www.gevernova.com/nuclear

> As is the case with sending things to Mars there is a window every two years.

This is very simple to deal with.

(a) If it's unmanned, rush and launch on-time but don't fault the engineer for mistakes made by rushing. If it doesn't work everyone accept that as a consequence of rushing.

(b) If it's manned, wait until the next launch window and prioritize safety. Period.

Star Trek TNG is one morality play after another. It's pretty useful morality, too.

That it was made by immoral or amoral people is secondary to that usefulness.
For you, yes. For most of my team, they're required to RTO, and they do it. Only a few people (myself included) were allowed to stay full remote, and we were told it's because we're the most productive members and also have shown no "decrease in presence" while WFH.
Port Orchard has some in the 400-500 range, but the ferry commute isn't ideal.
I'd read that hybrids had better reliability than ICE cars, but from a glance at this data it might just be an artefact of high reliability manufacturers being overrepresented in this market.

> don't see how 'Tesla' is not top of the list here

Tesla owners love their cars. This means they tend to overlook issues others might find unacceptable. If my car just refused to drive until I restarted it a few times, that would be a catastrophic fuckup. But I’ve seen Tesla owners shrug that away.

Which is fine! There have always been legendary cars with notorious maintenance issues. But base reliability matters to most, and it matters to track that neutrally.
Even when pattern matching is your only tool and you have seen only positive outcomes of humans beings shot out of cannons, you will still not want to shoot people out of cannons. Because it matches so many negative patterns. You learned that explosions are bad, cannons are bad, weapons in general are bad, loud bangs are bad, people flying through the air are bad etc.

So this is not an example of pattern matching being insufficient to avoid danger.
I think it's just commitment to the process at this point.

The hard bit isn't the process per se, it's executing the process when it would otherwise be easier not to.
