I'm not sure, all I ever used in my 8 years of writing Ruby every day was RSpec. I was very bought into it but just expressing that once it was gone, I didn't miss it.
I've had this same thought and even direct comment to friends. The answer I've gotten basically every time has been that they send audios because they're driving while they're responding.
Stop Practicing and Start Growing (2016)
Thanks for that 'fact', but that is nearly a generation old.

I guess it could be used as a longitudinal study... But the speed of technology is speeding up (technology is accelerating technology). I can't see this being that useful.

Again, where's the current schools that ban smartphones? That would be much more useful than something 11 years ago. (Yeah, 11 years...)
I really doubt that the FC firmware of an EV is less comolex than the software of an ice control unit.
I don't see how making sure that when something looks and quacks like a duck is actually a duck conflicts with the hacker ethos. The more standardized things are - the easier it is to build something. I love that I can take any combination of DIN parts and suppliers and know they will play nicely. Also there are a lot of standardized higher voltage connectors. this case is incompetence or negligence from manufacturer - and those are against everything hacking is about

I can think of many scenarios in which this can be actually dangerous. Not all roads in the world have a side lane in which you can stop at any time. Driving with a foggy windshield waiting to find the proper lane can be very dangerous.
They exited the consumer market completely. They're still selling Skydio 2 hardware, but now via an enterprise package/pricing. It's a huge bummer: https://www.skydio.com/blog/skydio-to-sunset-consumer-drone-...

If it would come to that, I would just not do it. It would be a peripheral activity anyway, if it's not afforded by my steering wheel or voice controls. So, yes, I would stop to navigate that. Not sure what that would be, in your car? In my car that might be something like planning the charging for the next night, or unexpectedly running out of battery and planning a detour? Very rare.
I didn't notice this in the article, but I wonder if this is only Volkswagen, or if this decision will extend to the rest of VAG.

I'm quite disappointed that the new Porsche models have a load of touch screens. I'm a fan of the Cayenne from 2012 which has an interior full of physical buttons and feels a bit like an airplane cockpit.
This works well for expensive long-running things, but works less well for more short-lived programs, and even for expensive long-running things there may be more considerations than "what's the fastest value?" I intentionally set the default jobs of "make" to "4" rather than "8" because I don't want to utilize my full system when compiling stuff, so I can still use it for other things at a reasonable speed. There's lots of reasons you might want to do this: on a web platform you don't really want to use up all resources by the one expensive thing, but what's "reasonable" and "desired" often differs – often there is no objectively best "optimum setting".
idk who wins, but I'd assume extroverts need a quiet environment to be able to focus as much as anyone else.
I sometimes start audibly breathing with headphones on. Something I never do without them. So I won’t wear them around others when I can avoid it.

That’s aside from tapping I might not realize is making noise with headphones on, or a particular motion in my chair that’s making it squeak and I don’t know it because headphones, et c.
> There's an argument to be made that for something like temperature control with its various modes (heat/vent/cold, strength/temperature, fan speed, which combination of vents), a large touchscreen is actually a far superior interface -- easier to see and more intuitive.

I agree with "easier to see and more intuitive" and I'd use it when parked. But when driving, I don't want to "see", I want tactile feedback on whether I hit a control.
'Fake' Seal Impression of Biblical King Jeroboam Is Authentic
I think the thing that would let me stomach it is 1. Only legally mandating it for consumer devices / sold on the open market / commercial entities manufacturing it, or whatever the sensible way to structure that sentiment is, and 2. USB supports negotiating higher power settings, so you're not artificially limiting what's possible, just enforcing a safe worst case. If you need some USB connector that carries a kW you can theoretically still do that, you just have to not default to putting 100+ volts across the power pins the moment the thing is plugged in.
Neat! Unfortunately at the moment it still ignores cgroups, it's just a wrapper around sched_getaffinity().

> pretty unlikely

you've mastered the art of understatement

> I don't know about you but I prefer something tangible that is physically in my possession

That comes with serious drawbacks, the primary one being exchanging it with other people (1000 miles away for example). You'd be paying a heavy price just so that you're able to physically touch it.
Go is pretty performant, faster than Nerves for sure, I have an old RPB+ from 2014 and some go code on it, works just fine. The Go compiler can target most popular arm platforms by default.
Sigh. This again. Let's assume both SoC here has the same die size.

If Intel shipped 100,000 20A SoC in the first half of 2025. And 1M SoC in total in 2025.

TSMC shipped 50M of N2 SoC to Apple all in 2nd half 2025 ( Because of iPhone Pro )

In case anyone is wondering, back-side power ( or PowerVia ) is on roadmap for TSMC 14A. So technically Intel has technological leadership on 20A.

If we assume 20A and N2 are density equivalent. Which one is leading? Which one is better? ( So to speak ) And that is ignoring cost. And I said cost, not price of the node.

A lot of these information and debate are completely missing context. And then I am certain Intel fans will have their field day on HN, Reddit, Twitter, Anandtech, and possibly many other hardware forums which I no longer bother going to.

And the last bit.

>“Intel used to be the conservative one,” says Dan Hutcheson, vice chair of TechInsights. Previously, TSMC was more aggressive in its risk-taking, and the company more frequently missed the mark. Now, the situation has flipped,

That is just complete BS.

Edit: And just after I posted this, I read [1] TSMC announced their Chairman Mark Liu to retire next year. Another legend retiring. He was probably as important as Morris Chang in TSMC's success. Sigh.

Sure, let’s blame the phones rather than decades worth of misappropriation of school funds, budget cuts, and teachers caught in a myriad of politics. I’m born in the 90s and my kids are now school age. You have to even bring your own damn tissue boxes! Kids can’t even say their favorite show is Peppa Pig cause of one gay couple in the show and other parents are somehow offended. It’s insane.
> How is it future proof?

They’re infinitely modifiable in software.

If you’re doing a model refresh and want to add a button, you change a few lines of code instead of redesigning the dashboard and sourcing parts and adjusting the assembly process and updating the engineering documents and maintenance and repair manuals and…
I would agree there is an issue there with the term being diluted to the point of almost meaningless and how licensure should address that problem. However if they were to use another term, that term would likely get co-opted and diluted as it would be a coveted term (the reason it got diluted in the first place as it had accrued perceived public value and trust).

I will take small issue with your second statement - there is a difference between those two programs at Uwaterloo:

Mainly comp sci you have a lot of spare time and have a lot of electives and more flexibility in your coursework. Computer engineering you have a specific regime of classes that you need to go through - specifically in physics, circuits, math, chemistry. It the SE program has a higher bar to get into it as a function of its program size being smaller. Both have benefits and drawbacks but I wouldn't call a comp sci major a professional engineer unless they passed the PE. There is a component of physical sciences in the engineering program.

My personal take is that professional engineering - has an element of understanding the physical environment and the mathematics that we have used to build civilization (such as physics, math, circuits and chemistry) and you have an oath to public safety above private motivations.
I was there 6 times and got sick 6 times after. The mask is a good idea. The weather was shitty every single time i was there.

There are some good talks, but i find it to be overcrowded and if you dont get a seat in the morning in a devroom and stay there the whole day then you spend your day wandering from one at-capacity devroom to the next.
Spend $40k on a new car, but they've saved a few bucks on some real buttons.

I'm sure someone made the decision and said "I've just saved $10m by slashing our BOM by $50".
Can we please first analyze the problem before we call for regulation? Are touch screens really causing accidents or are they just inconvenient?

I hate touch screen controls in cars for things that are adjusted during driving like everyone else here. But please let’s not go for a default of „the state has to allow it“ for all new inventions - as dumb as they may be.
I did not lose any value to theta decay. When the split announced the stock popped, my calls moved in the money. I got the maximum value for my calls with the least amount of risk. Obviously no one knew when the split was going to happen.
The quadplexes have to age and trickledown to being boring housing stock; around here the apartments and quads are going for about the same as older stand-alones and only a bit cheaper than new stand-alones. And when you factor in the usual HOA cost the payment ends up being the same.
100%. How is this not basic common sense. How did we get to this point?
Plus there’s 240V in Paraguay. I travel with cheap universal adapters and never have any problems.
> What they did here was remove that restriction and loan out an unlimited number of simultaneous copies of a given book

Again: no; that's not what this appeal or the article is about. What Publisher's Weekly is reporting on here is their controlled digital lending program and the court's decision that found that was illegal—not the "National Emergency Library".

I wasn’t invited to the party, I was invited to move in to the house; and now I’m getting blamed for the lack of chairs when really we have enough room and money to literally install a nice comfy chair for every human on the planet.
Let's not pretend that we are something special, and we need to focus so much more than other creative workers.

For the majority of work of an average programmer in an average corporation, deep focus is highly overrated.
Crossing the border with $40k cash in the 1950s would be the equivalent to $450k cash in 2023 dollars. Sounds like they got that bit wrong or there’s more to the story.
Technology for sure made me dumber. I used to always know the date, could perform mental mathematics quite nicely, and remember things pretty easily. Ask me what day of the month it is and I'll have to check my phone.

I hate that about myself - I'm too reliant.

Why not both?

Do you really believe that you can close your eyes and touch the "Start" button on a windows machine at arms length every time? Try it throughout your day. I doubt it.

The tactile feedback is important to know that you're making the adjustment you want, and to help you find the right control input.
None.

Stuff like the post you are replying to is common "good luck with insurance" trope. Insurance protects you from stupidity, errors, and negligence. It doesn't protect you from fraud or intentional malice, but using an uncertified device is not fraud.

Note that after an accident related to personal stupidity or error, an insurance company could decide you are too risky to further insure, or that the cost for your insurance should increase dramatically. But they can't deny a claim.

All of this is of course a significant summary, but insurance won't (can't?) deny a claim linked to an uncertified electrical device in normal circumstances.
Agreed, the VW approach here looks pretty good. It might even have fewer physical controls than the id.4?
American football is literally a chess match. It's an orchestarted sport where scheme's are major components of the game. bill belichick (coach for New England) invented a type of coverage (pattern-match) that took professional football coordinators 20 years to understand but once they did it altered how the game is played and took away sections of the field. Once you understand what they're doing Football is an incredibly complex sport compared to Basketball, Hockey and Soccer (pure sports).
Reminds on Rich Hickey ranting about touch screens in cars [1] in Design in Practice:

> We do not have feature X" is never a valid problem statement. If you need proof of this you only need to look at a modern car which has a touch screen where no one said, "I need to slide my finger on some random piece of glass to a precise point to set my blower in my car while I am driving." No one has ever said that, right? But somebody did say, "We need touch screens because young people will never buy our cars." This is what happens when you are not talking about the problem.

I don't think students care about group achievement tests. These aren't college entrance exams. I went to a top 1% school system and literally the only people who cared about those tests were the teachers and administrators, but we still scored very high on them.

Most will have been people on their phone. In fact, I would suspect that number to be much higher. Since people lie about being on the phone.

As, apparently, nor can this fanfic writer, with their parody of a pen-name.

Just for a laugh: JRRT would be 131 if he were still alive. He published 45 books; he wasn't slacking.

His son Christopher, whom I met once, spent his whole adult life editing together his late father's works, and would have been 100 next year... and he nearly made it.

Parsons was once in a band called the Flying Burrito Brothers, and each member had their own Nudie suit. Rolling Stone ran a story not too long ago about one of them that had been lost [0]. Though it is somewhat odd to imagine the short number of years Parsons might have been a client given he died at 26.

Interesting. I don't think I've ever knowingly encountered heat expansion of the bed itself affecting the prints.

I print on glass and only occasionally have to do anything about bed leveling. No need to pry or pull and mess up the leveling when all you have to do is just wait a few minutes for the print to cool and it pops right off. Never printed ABS on glass though, so I can't say if it works as well for that. Autoleveling would be cool, but I have very little interest in it because I haven't needed it and it seems like an added point of failure.
How so? The camaraderie that companies try to enforce on their low lever employees with this kind of manipulation is nothing but a ruse.

Why do you think that a whole team of people should be responsible for the inability of some? I have empathy for individual people that start their careers and struggle, but I also believe that if you apply for a job, you should be qualified to do it independently.
>> simply having a standard won’t immediately qualify the language for those industries. There is only a tenuous link between having a standard and qualifying the language for industrial use.

Not having a language standard disqualifies Rust.

The Verge's favorite books from 2023
On a personal level, I think of this trend toward making everything detached from physicality as digital Gnosticism. But context is also important. On a phone or tablet where you want ultimate flexibility from the device, touchscreens make sense. In a vehicle, you want each button / switch to do one thing with an immediate and direct impact on physical reality.
Is there any personal story behind this tool? I'm curious why one would write their own version of widely available `time` utility.
I think if we constantly interrupt each other, we should very critically ask ourselves if that's the proper way forward. Often people physically being there is used as a "crutch" or a "band aid" to bad onboarding practices and big knowledge gaps. I am tired of people seeing their team drowning, distracted, noise, responding to the same question 31040041 times and then simply saying: "well, I need to be there in person to help Josh, he just started". While that's a good team spirit, you gotta look beyond that. There are things you can do to make it easy for yourselves and the new starters.

Of course, people are responsible for their own productivity, but there is also such a thing as a team. And the team itself will benefit if people are less disruptive of each other.

My point is that teams should retrospect aggressively on where they spend their time, and if they find that lots of their time is spent on answering questions to onboarders or big knowledge gaps between one another, they should do something about it.

I won't waste space here outlining what can be done, but there ARE things that can be done. Do those things, and then the argument that you:

A) "must" be in the office to do good collaborative work

B) and you "have" to ask 5 min questions all the time

loses any validity and becomes just corporate laziness and bad management.
Cube farms aren't really much better for programming work than true open-plan offices.

The article is about the split between "office with door" and "not that", not specifically open-plan offices, so talking about cube farms is absolutely valid.
Practically speaking, no. It would be huge news in the legal field if some court allowed it, and the decision would certainly be appealed and overturned.
I'm not sure if the 2013 comment is true or not but I think it's in relation to this (from the article):

>For the past few years, parents, researchers, and the news media have paid closer attention to the relationship between teenagers’ phone use and their mental health. Researchers such as Jonathan Haidt and Jean Twenge have shown that various measures of student well-being began a sharp decline around 2012 throughout the West, just as smartphones and social media emerged as the attentional centerpiece of teenage life. Some have even suggested that smartphone use is so corrosive, it’s systematically reducing student achievement.
Systemic problems require systemic solutions. For over a decade now we’ve seen a steady supply of blog articles, studies (e.g. https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/07/in-open-offices-work...), and choruses of comment threads all agreeing that coders do not like open offices. Yet all of this is empty sentiment because managements don’t seem to care; they might not even notice. Now, a union might not be the solution to this. I already mentioned alternatives. Maybe there should just be more general participation in the ACM/IEEE and give it lobbying power. But the principle is that some sort of collective action seems to be in order, because there’s collective disgruntlement, yet the issue is still unaddressed.
Favorite office setup as a programmer - was early 2000's.

First key feature - 50% of the exterior building walls was windows, the other 50% had offices.

Second key feature - cubicle design. It was staggered duets of cubes. Great for privacy... and at best made it easy to turn around and talk to 2 other people if needed. Best of all... each cube had a full window instead of your classic wall. And these windows would all allign so that you could see straight out to the outside if you wanted. You had privacy - but still daylight.

Most "cube farms" I see are a sea of interior cubes completely surrounded by wall of exterior offices. That's depressing. Or we see an open office concept where everyone has light but 0 privacy which is hard for concentration.

This particular design that I got to work in circa 2002-2005 was delightful at least for me (and then we moved offices and that design sadly didn't carry over).

I miss well designed cubes.

Is there a strong argument that both of these are not equivalent?

In many important aspects of life, failure to produce results takes precedence over such a distinction.
I think the point is that Tesla was not always a gamble. If Warren buffet can invest in ZOOM but calls Tesla speculation is clearly a sign of missing the mark. Tesla was setting the bar for electric vehicles well before 2022. It’s okay to say your favorite investor doesn’t always get his picks right.
The touch screen should be positioned such that the navigator can use it. If there is no navigator then the driver should have to pull over and stop to get at the screen. This also means all the controls currently on a touchscreen that the driver does need are moved to something physical.

I often and traveling with my wife, and get annoyed that I cannot some options because we are in motion - my wife is driving so there is nothing unsafe about me using the touchscreen. (when I drive I try to avoid looking at the infotainment - there is nothing on it that I need but it is still a distracting hazard)
> Self-hosting with a dynamic IP seems difficult if not impossible

You just need something on your network that monitors your IP and updates your DNS when your home IP changes. "Dynamic DNS Update Client" yields results in Google that will be a good start to understanding.

> There are some dynamic DNS services but that kinda defeats the self-hosted part.

No, selfhosting at home doesn't mean you have to host a public DNS server. You will definitely need some external DNS pointing to your home network. There are multiple free providers.
> Or is the yoke on a Tesla so sensitive that you don't turn it far enough round for it to be an issue?

That seems to be the intended direction longer term. Cybertruck is designed with drive by wire and very sensitive steering at low speed. I have some doubts about it, but if it works well, it may eventually end up in the other cars too.
> Kids can’t even say their favorite show is Peppa Pig cause of one gay couple

But that phones are a huge distraction devices isn't particularly controversial; this has been observed internationally, and also in contexts outside of education.

That there are also other issues with education is a separate thing.
