> I think this is explained by the fact that most business logic is dry

I don't think that business logic is dry per se. The problem in my opinion rather is that in other parts of the software project, there is much more openness with respect to

- trying out new things in new ways

- making the code more elegant

- seeking abstractions

- ...

than in the business logic area.

Believe me: for the kind of business logic that I see at work, I could immediately see ways in which the (non-trivial) business logic could be made much more elegant by using clever mathematical ideas, but suggesting such ideas to other colleagues or the bosses is like talking to a brick wall.

This has been done: surveying ~600 movements since 1900, researchers found those that used violence were successful about 25% of the time, while non-violent movements were successful over 40% of the time:

Further: movements that used violence, and happened to be successful, also were much more likely to become authoritative themselves, while non-violent movements were more likely to be non-authoritative.

FWIW, I've found the VW group software for traffic sign recognition significantly more accurate than BMW, and I like the lane assist, it's far less intrusive than other implementations I've driven. (I'm not including lane centering - I can't stand lane centering.)

(I base this mostly on comparing driving my Skoda Superb 2019 and a BMW 5-series touring estate rental with luxury trim on the same roads, a mix of city, urban and autobahn.)

I can't believe how much hyped Tesla keeps being, especially in the stock markets.

I've seen enough EVs to conclude that Tesla does not make better cars than other automakers, at all. Nobody needs an EV that accelerates more than a Porsche 911, those are vanity pointless metrics.

It's conduct is also terrible and customer service plain infuriating.

This is a very US-centric view, where public subsidies for tennis courts exist. In Germany for example, there's no such thing as a public tennis court, as far as I can tell.
So they start the article with describing one case of technical failure. Then they state: "Jain is one of tens of thousands of Tesla owners who have experienced premature failures of suspension or steering parts." In what time frame? "The chronic failures ... date back at least seven years." Okay, now I'd be interested: How does this number compare to other automotive companies relative to the time frame observed?

That’s very similar to my experience except docking was just too hard. No matter how carefully I tried to match the rotation, 99 times out of 100 I crashed. I still don’t really understand why! So I just stayed around the starting point, which was a shame but still quite fun.

You should read the description of the accident:

“Over the next few days the resulting man-made sinkhole swallowed up the oil rig, 11 barges, a tugboat, 35 hectares of land and part of a house. A canal that drained the lake into the Gulf of Mexico began flowing backwards as the water level fell, briefly creating the tallest waterfall in Louisiana, while muddy geysers erupted from mine shafts. Somehow, all 50 people working in the mine managed to get out ahead of the rising floodwaters.”

The famous Hashima island (also called "Battleship island") in Japan near Nagasaki was an undersea coal mine - the network of tunnels even connected to another mining island nearby.

I don't think they ever had problems with flooding from the sea, but it was certainly dangerous enough to work there due to regular mining and industrial hazards. Also apparently it was very hot and humid in the mine.
I've driven 3 as rentals (2 Model 3s, 1 Model Y) and they all had issues. They all made a ton of noise on the highway (my 15 year old SUV makes less noise at higher speeds), cameras would randomly go completely out, screen would become unresponsive, etc.

Unrelated to reliability, I'm also not a fan of everything being controlled from a touchscreen. My wife wants one after driving a rental, but I think she too has fallen for the gimmicks.
We can certainly do a number on a lot of the big names though.
The DSA has already been passed and there are no "prohibited" services (the digital service coordinator can under some special circumstances request a limited suspension of service in a member state but not a permanent if I'm not missing something.).

Now I do think the DSA goes to far in many aspects (with some good provisions sprinkled in there) and I'm hoping it will not do to much damage.

As for what one can do I'm not sure, VPNs are great and will continue to have a market I expect ;) (We probably ought to vote in better people as MePs as well...)

The lack of rear wiper is standart for most sedans.

I haven't noticed that until I tried to turn on the rear wiper in a car of a friend. Now all I can see on the road is the lack of wipers on sedans. Keep checking for wipers all the time, like an obsession and most sedans don't have it. It's probably not super dangerous, the sedan's shape allows for the airflow to flow along and clean it.

The business logic has to live somewhere, and it makes sense to me to start thinking of everything in terms of PL/pgSQL if you're building with Supabase, which I'm thinking of doing.

I suppose I would like to have the problem of having so many users that my app begins to get bogged down, so I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

The RLS stuff seems like a bonus that I can choose to use if I want to, and I was happy not having it before, so I'm planning to be careful about actually activating it in any projects going forward -- it would have to be a use-case that I thoroughly understand.
> Pass in a function that gives you the data you need

That's basically dependency injection but on a per-method basis. I'd see this as an anti pattern because it makes function calling _way_ more complex and error-prone.

Small anecdote, I tried scrolling three different ways on a laptop. Two finger scroll, scroll bar on the right, and holding the middle red button and putting pressure on the trackpoint. the third appeared smoother than the other two.

Agreed 100%. I've a homelab, ntop traffic monitoring and considering forcing my son's mobile device (10 years old and about to receive his first mobile device for Christmas) to go via my home network via VPN and I'm still not sure I really want to do this... He could still come across content via friends devices. My wife and I are trying to figure out a conversation/teaching method to keep his mind healthy (in terms of sex/porn) as he progresses through his childhood into teens. It's a stressful minefield; but we don't want to be overly intrusive and figuring out a balance is not an easy task. I'm certainly not going to rely on the law to cover parenting issue. A child feeling that he can have healthy, open and honest conversations with parents on these issues is critical.

This has gotten so far from the point of the original comment, which is that the software of VW and others is often worse. You’re not getting many buttons and nobs in those either, and the few you do don’t work all that well as they’re fake (capacitive) buttons now. You’ll be relying on the software UI for the bulk of the creature comforts of the car - not just stuff that can be replaced by CarPlay.
Thank you InvaderFizz, tbh, I follow this pricing model from some similar products, all of them charge for pageviews. And we don't charge customers based on their usage directly, we just ask them to upgrade plans politely if they have exceeded the limitations, it's fine if it's a one time traffic spike. Again, thank you so much for your valuable feedback!

Tesla has historically been pretty quick to release "we looked at the telemetry and the driver did X Y and Z" when they think it absolves them. In a car only driven 115 miles before the suspension fell apart, it a) should take some pretty extreme driving to cause that in such a short time and b) be pretty obvious in the telemetry.
Regulations can and will eventually change. A lot of air force pilots are being trained up drones, it isn’t unprecedented that they would put their skills to work in the civilian sector later.
Not really. `import type` just means that this import is guaranteed to be removed when compiling to JS. TS already fully erases types during compilation, and this is just a way to guarantee that the imports of types are guaranteed to be erased as well.

E.g. for `import { SomeType } from "backend-server"`, you don't want to include your entire server code in the frontend just because you imported the response type of some JSON API. `import type` neatly solves this issue, and it even enforces that you can't import anything but types from your backend.

I also want to state that TS already removes regular `import`s that only import types. `import type` is mostly used to help bundlers. https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/release-notes/t...

But be careful because the output is not guaranteed. Which means you have to take care to provide the schema and what you're trying to do within the context window, and validate the output. There is a non-trivial overhead to this.

I have an ioniq 5 as well and recently drove a 2023 model 3. It had some nice features but overall reaffirmed my decision not to buy a Tesla when I bought the Ioniq 5.

The braking algorithm for the adaptive cruise control on the M3 was not nearly as good as my Ioniq 5.

False alarms for collisions, times to "TAKE CONTROL NOW" were massively increased over my I5. I have essentially no false alarms on the I5.

Thr driver attention monitor seems based on steering wheel deflection vs torque. Extremely often it decided my hands were not resisting it enough on the steering and commanded me to move the wheel slightly. Except the force required to do so enough to satisfy it was very near the force needed for it to automatically disengage. It was also enough force for the car to noticably swerve in the lane and the passengers to notice.

My I5 just needs a slight jiggle on the wheel. It still false alarms, thinking my hands were not on the wheel when they were, but massively reduced from the Model 3.

Then there was the time that I unbuckled my seatbelt to take off my jacket. The Model 3 had an absolute meltdown. Screaming alarms, autosteer disengaged immediately. It was a WTF moment compared to my I5.

Any time the lane would widen to accommodate an upcoming exit, the model 3 would move to the right to stay centered in what it thought were it's lane markings. Very dangerous. My I5 doesn't do this, it will stay going straight and alert you if it loses confidence in its ability to identify the lane.

The only thing the autosteer did better than my I5 was navigating curves. I think this is because the system in the I5 is limited to the turn rate it can command, and anything more than a gradual curve exceeds that. It will disengage and run you into the guardrail or ditch, if you are not payjng attention.

Many times I got a "corrective action applied for your safety" in the model 3 and never could figure out what was actually done or what the danger it was avoiding was. Many times it mistook parking lot line markings as obstacles.

Most advice about programming is about writing code, but we rarely ever consciously consider how to improve at reading code. One way to do that is to read more code.

If you read really good code, and I mean really read it, like a book, and absorb it, then you will improve so much.

This kind of improvement is the most impactful, because you also spend most of your time as a programmer reading code than writing new code.

Also, if you become good at reading code, then you don't need documentation.

They work with different paradigms. Notesnook is an Evernote clone with some twists.

It understands Markdown formatting cues, with some more flair (color, tables, etc.), however it needs a different way of thinking.

I used them for a brief period of time while I got weary of bugs in Evernote's publicly shared notes' formatting. However, I love Evernote for what it is.

At the end, my technical notes, and digital garden is moving to Obsidian, but all the private notes are staying in Evernote. Why? 1) I collaborate there. 2) ENEX is a very nice XML format which you can convert to anything. 3) GPS tagged notes are nice when combined with collaboration for me.

So they're different tools, and work differently. They do not fill each-other's places, either. Evernote is more of a note-based mobile and connected office. Obsidian is a documentation and knowledge management powerhouse.
