>Object oriented programming, polymorphism in particular, is essential to nearly any large, complex software system. Without it, decoupling different system components is difficult. (Update in 2017: I no longer agree with this statement.)

The author doesn't seem to elaborate on this. I was taught OOP in university and then promptly learned that it's frowned upon in performance sensitive code, which is my main interest in programming.

(And that it apparently doesn't even achieve its stated goal of making the code easier to understand -- I've certainly had the experience of wading through a deep inheritance hierarchy (or call stack) looking for the "actual code that actually runs"...)

I'd love to hear an elaboration on that idea (OOP is essential for decoupling components) and its counterargument (decoupling can apparently be done just fine without OOP?).
Yeah sure. That why their is constant derailment.
I don't know what isn't believable about a suspension issue leading to an accident which causes a five figure repair bill.

It's so sad we made a society where kids like this exist.

The article is in a UK publication, written by someone living in the UK, working for a UK charity, about homelessness in the UK. Obviously, America is the problem, exclusively so, they being the only humans on the planet that look for scapegoats, 'others' and marginalized people to look down on.

Yes, and for the most cynical of reasons: the fireball and dirt-digging go with r^3, but the people killed and infrastructure destroyed go with r^2, and the purpose of a nuclear weapon isn't to light a fireball and dig dirt.

Agreed, a big device doesn't really alter the balance of power, which is why both the Americans and Soviets abandoned the path of bigger and bigger devices by 1962, leaving lots of engineering possibilities on the table to instead focus on miniaturization.

I think maybe your problem was starting the conversation with the form custodian. Their job is the form. They understand the form. They like the form.

I think you have to go up a level to have a chance of those conversations going anywhere. Someone with a little more perspective can go “oh yeah, shoot, good point that concern is OBE we really don’t need to be using that form.”

I have mixed feelings about this quote because I do not like when life writers write high-level statements such as this.

Whoever they employ to collect and charge the scooters loves to line them up on the ramp to the crosswalk of a major intersection near me. It makes it impossible for the disabled people in the neighborhood to cross the street safely. So passersby will throw them all into the gutter. Then they become a road hazard.

Say what you will, this behavior is from an employee, and is thus the direct responsibility of the company, who does not care at all.

When you escalate from being a nuisance to outright endangering people, there needs to be consequences.
Very good point. "DEI" as commonly practiced is nothing more than the soft bigotry of low expectations, enshrined as official company policy. The outcomes are pretty much what you'd expect: Divisive, Exclusionary and Inequitable.

Not sure I understand that particular hill for dying on. If they aren't legally required to give you a choice, they're just going to be tracking you unconditionally.
Totally agree with that. I remember reading an article years ago that was talking about how YouTube actually didn't have a ton of runway left before Google bought them - the hosting costs were going to kill them, and they needed someone like Google with their unique expertise at handling massive infrastructure scale (and probably only Google at that time had that experience) to join with.

So I'm not saying 100% of acquisitions are shit storms, but so often when you see these old stalwarts buy new, innovative startups, everyone is scared their products will go to shit. Just look at the giant collective sigh of release when the Figma deal fell through.
Yep, definitely. I called it out as an option because of firsthand experience and because 90+% of HS grads are definitely qualified.

Body work is expensive. Even more expensive when claimed through insurance. That said, it's possible the repair is expensive because the supply for parts is still quite limited.
Since it's not clear from the article, this occurred in England.

Most states in the US have implied warranties for such defects and you should 100% talk to an attorney (or, more likely, your insurance will) if such a defect occurs to you. Here is the California "lemon law" summarized:

https://www.severson.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/The-Cali...

But, essentially, if it's within one year of purchase (inside the state) the manufacturer is responsible for any defects, damage or loss attributed to the vehicle outside the owner/operator's responsibility (e.g. an accident with another vehicle, neglect, etc).

What's even worse than that is that the only allergy medicine that was really effective for me is no longer manufactured at all, because one of the ingredients was pseudoephedrine. Once these stupid regulations came into effect, sales of it plummeted to the point where it was no longer worth making it.

For years, I had friends in other countries buy it and mail it to me, but that's no longer an option at all.
Tesla isn’t exactly known for using high quality parts.

Is it expensive because it is Tesla?

Or there isn’t many repair shops available? Or knowledge for repairing is well hidden and combined with the previous.
Your argument, if I understand it correctly, is that the constraints can be implemented in the application layer more efficiently - either in dev time or CPU time - than it can be in the DB layer. Why is that so, and under what circumstances?

We don't all do dev ops here 8)

My little firm have just lifted and shifted a customer's hardware from someone else's computer room (data centre is too grand) and plopped it down in ours. Downtime was roughly six hours which includes two hours driving, unracking, loading, unloading and racking.

Then there was a flurry of network knitting ... oh they've tagged the bloody VLAN instead of untagging it on what are effectively access ports and don't need to be trunks or hybrid. lol, lose 20 mins. I wasn't allowed to look at the "source" switch's config and might (emogi: looking up and whistling) have assumed a few things ...

We did spend quite a long time trying to work out what the customer might have failed to tell us because we hadn't asked the right questions.

... so I plug my laptop into the NIC in question on the Hyper-V box and run up Wireshark ... fuck (dot 1Q tag) ... run back upstairs to my PC and reconfigure the port to hybrid with tagged VLAN 100 instead of access on VLAN 100. A better solution would be a trunk with PVID on the naughty VLAN and tagged v100. I chose the former to make it stand out.

The naughty VLAN thing is similar to a discard VLAN but the traffic is not discarded but instead gets logged. We should never see traffic on the naughty VLAN. If we do its a miss-configuration or something nasty.

As well as that, we have customers for whom Chrimbo is anything up to 50% of annual turnover. Their systems tend to be treated in the same way as yours.
my version of this for the dev tools market https://www.latent.space/i/137474557/the-foundation-model-op...

> Most experienced devtool investors know that devtool markets usually come in threes: three parts of a stool that individually make sense, but collectively start jostling for the limited budget (and funding) available in their larger category (and will eventually be guided by their market to build or buy each others’ features in the process)

> For frontend/JAMstack devs, this was a three way battle between startups building metaframeworks, cloud infra, and content management systems, and various combinations of each. Arguably round 1 won by Nextjs/Vercel and Contentful. In data engineering, a similar battle ensued between data catalogs, semantic layers, and business intelligence, though we are still in very early days of category collapse. Even in fintech, you see Deel/Rippling/Ramp/Brex building each other’s features as fast as they can between the trio of contractor, payroll, and corporate spending products.

Those two things are not the same.
Quality is so suspect on Teslas. The worst panel gaps on a new car in 30 years is indicative of under-emphasis on quality control. That mentality doesn't only get applied to body panels, but everything like brake and suspension components too.

Then on top of it, they are very customer hostile if you are doing anything other than buying or praising their cars. So it'll break on you, and they'll make you foot the bill.

The amount of time I spend doing things costs me opportunities to earn money. So, minimizing time spent performing a single accounting action by writing a letter, while systematically "inefficient" is actually the most efficient financial decision I can make for myself. I am uninterested beyond that.

The USPS maintains a pretty wide network of collection boxes. In a city you'd be hard pressed to not find one very close to you and most large apartment buildings have their own mail drops. There doesn't seem to be any "privileged" access issues here.

Point is.. the differences are so small.. that the decision is going to be made by subjective preference in most cases, and trying to suggest that there's an objectively correct solution is easily disproved.
I often call bullshit out when I see it with little regard to the consequences, because it just goes against every fiber of my being - but when I call it out, I try to show evidence as to how it's bullshit, and if possible a better way to approach a problem said bullshit is trying to solve. That way I don't just tell people I don't like something, I also present evidence as to why and potentially a solution. Seems like people are more inclined to see your POV this way and not feel attacked.

I would ask those same questions about cousins. The funeral one seems irrelevant/circumstantial, but the others imply a person who is willing and able to make personal sacrifices for another person. I'm fortunate to have many of friends who meet those criteria, and maybe one cousin that does.

I'd also say that though friendships tend to be very homogenous by age when we're young, that can change considerably as we get older. But because longevity is one of the key factors in any relationship, most of my closest friends are +/- 3 years of me. And in support of your point, it's often when we're young and mostly have young friends that we need support, and those friends are not likely to be in a great position to help.

EDIT: I actually did get help from friends' parents as a kid! As well as an adult "family friend". Those types of connections shouldn't be overlooked.
> Ordinary neurotypical drivers act "unexpectedly" on the road all the time.

"all the time" means it is not unexpected. Humans do mistakes and omissions that you've subconsciously learned that humans do, so you can adjust to deal with that.

The difficulty with AI is that it behaves like a completely alien being, making errors that are alien and unpredictable to a human driver.

Ads in the streets fund surprisingly little.

I've spent energy and time finding out how much my local govt got from these ads and learned three things. They don't want to tell, because it's embarrassing small amounts. They don't really know the exact numbers. Many ads on "public spaces" fund private or corporate coffers rather than municipality.

>Americans hate the iMessage experience

No. They love the iMessage experience and iMessage inertia means that people without iPhones have to negotiate to get people to use something else. It's not even necessarily malicious or obvious, but it does happen. I was a little hurt when I realized I had been left out of certain group communications that were happening over iMessage when I didn't have an iPhone.

>but for some reason they refuse to use any of the numerous free alternatives?

I guess you could say that, but it's more that the inertia pulls them back to iMessage. I'd try to get people to use Signal/Telegram/Whatsapp/Messenger and at some point, they'd stop checking those apps and I'd have to send them a regular SMS. I was the only person they were checking the app for, so any lapse in our communication could result in forgetting to check the app (and even having it get automatically offloaded).

It's also kind of like being the only vegan in a group of meat eaters. They just get invited to less dinner parties when people don't want to go somewhere that accommodates the vegan's diet. That creates a social rift even if it's not obvious.

In the US, the lemon law would have protected the buyer (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon_law) I don’t see that here so I guess they were not in the US. In any case it is unconscionable for Tesla to shift the cost and headache to the buyer in this scenario, and also stupid. The brand continues to suffer and is going to be the butt of jokes pretty soon if they keep this up.
Oh sorry, but the linked article makes no mention of that and since the repair was priced in dollar I assumed it must have been in the US. Serves me right, I guess, for believing anything businessinsider says without triple checking.
This post is a list of common sense advice (I heard them all before), and there’s probably no correlation between them and success (except for “the right connections”, in the first item). You can follow this advice top to bottom and still fail spectacularly every time. But when people succeed, they retell the story - almost always random, like the sudden success of chatgpt - into an act of sheer will, where their intellect played a central role on beating the odds. As history shows us again and again, it’s usually revisionism

(Or maybe I’m just bitter, having shut down my startup today)
The perpetually long waits on Tesla parts is especially grating because they are the sole supplier of parts. They have enough parts to not have a wait, but not if they want to hit their production targets. Tesla as a company has chosen to make people wait months for parts that would take under a week with any other brand.
Those aren't Tesla dealers, those are Tesla stores.

Most (all other?) car manufacturers sell in the US via independently owned dealerships. Tesla sells directly to customers (where I am, at least) and they've had problems in some states because they have laws that prohibit direct sales by manufacturers.
