This is a particularly relevant use-case for sure. I think we will see a huge skillset disparity between those of us who grew up driving a regular car versus the incoming generations who will grow up with cars that drive themselves. Whether that ends up being a big deal or not, it’s hard to say.
> I called, and they said they would need to research and I’d have to call back.

This kind of thing is why it's a good reason to record your calls.

For anyone worried about the legality of doing so... are you calling one of those places that states something like "This call will be recorded for training purposes"?

If yes, then you're fine as they've already stated the call is being recorded. :)
Yes. Like a thousand times yes. I learned this lesson as a manager very slowly because I hate being micromanaged.

It made me a bad manager to not have that in my tool kit. There are a lot of people who just want you to tell them exactly what to do.

Mazda 3 is my first and current car since 2013.

Amazing vehicle. Just do basic maintenance (and sometimes not even that) and it continues to work with no issues.

My local dev environment variables are not usually critical (e.g. they are test Stripe secrets, dev-S3 access, etc) So I’ve never really made an effort to keep them secure. They’re just in a plain text .env file.

I like how Debian's machine learning policy says this:

You can’t subscribe to Netflix inside the app.

https://help.netflix.com/en/node/25097/

They’re a so called “reader” app which can send you to an external site to subscribe.

https://developer.apple.com/support/reader-apps/

Other streaming services fall into the same category.

If I recall, and from what I’m now able to find, Netflix didn’t lower their prices when they did that move. And remember they have added ads, are cracking down on password sharing, and prices keep increasing.

So while Apple’s cut is high, let’s not fall into the trap of believing that other big companies are somehow fairer and would totally pass the savings onto us. The overwhelming majority, if suddenly exempt from paying Apple’s cut, would keep charging the same thing and pocket the extra revenue.
Because it saves time and sanity. First, you don't have to deal with endless debates about stupid crap every other code review. Second, local wanna be controlling personalities have less space to nitpick choices of others and other do not have to deal with them.

I’m saying it’s what people want. Very few people complaining about it being undemocratic actually want it to be “more democratic” because that would involve a transfer of power from the member states to the EU.

As margins slim in our industry, which they will, would you rather have management understand the true costs of things or would you rather have over-hiring followed by mass firing?

I already fill out hourly timesheets as I work in legal services and we bill clients by the half hour, albeit just for external purposes.

This isn’t just Taylorism. I’m also describing Activity-Based Costing, a key component in managerial accounting for high complexity services and products with lots of fixed costs.

Most non-VC backed companies engage in such practices.

This if course needs to:

1.) come from the top down. The CEO should be doing the same thing, and

2.) have an incentive structure tied directly to profits and “public” reporting.

Buy-in from the entire organization is required and everyone must be motivated to keep costs under control.

Look at the efficiency of software developers for Formula 1 teams. Any additional costs in that division impacts time spent in the wind chamber, etc, because there is a cap if $190 million per team.

They are motivated to win and their costs are constrained by the format.

Motivation for organizational cost analysis must be shared amongst all employees.
I suppose then the high compensations and prizes for the initiators of such a grand business scam^Widea appear more than justified.
I have no idea why you're downvoted, as this is a proper response.

Many of us are living this hell. It's too expensive to leave the lazy partner, and they know it. So you earn all the money, do 80% of the housework, and raise the children nearly yourself. They watch TikTok and Instagram all day, and your lawyer gives you an estimated price tag of well over a million dollars to escape.

So you make the rational choice to remain in hell until you die, being her personal pack mule forever.
What exactly makes you think it’s a word when it’s clearly an initialism? Do you also write MS-DOS as "Ms-dos" or BBC as "Bbc"? (Or NATO as "Nato", though that one actually has better grounds to be written like that, being an acronym rather than an initialism – in some orthographies acronyms are indeed written like proper nouns.)

I've been somewhat successful to use Ada instead. It has a lot of inconveniences of its own, but compared to C++ it's a language where it's hard to get things to work in any way, but once you get them to work, they are likely to do what you want, whereas in C++ it's easy to get things to compile, but then heaven only knows what that code will do.

Also, Ada has a very decent interop with C. To the point that w/o any prior experience, I needed to use some functions from SQLite that weren't already exposed through Ada, and it was a pretty smooth sailing: very little "glue" code, all code that connected C and Ada was written in Ada.
It's the point where you're no longer an individual contributor. Running a team and keeping people on target is difficult remotely. Consensus is difficult remotely. Feedback is difficult remotely.

Agree.

As a developer, there's a huge difference between those two :
- working on something where, outside of your peers, you can only interact with a project manager who doesn't have a clue about what they are doing and are asking for features that are clearly dark patterns in the hope of making more money
- working on something where you interact directly with the end users, knowing their issues/needs, and trying to find ways to help them while keeping management happy

Sure, the _why_ can be important (I would not work on something designed to harm directly anyone) but the _who_ is what matter the most IMHO.
Knowing that you are working to help people is where the meaningfulness relies.
Don't care if those people are people with special need, doctors and greedy lawyers.
Column orientation is extremely important for query + storage efficiency.
Furthermore, you need a distributed query engine (Athena, Bigquery etc.) and they all support parquet.
Was Flattr big in the US? It was a "future big thing" in my part of Europe for a while, driven by discussions in Blogs and experiments with using it for bigger projects, iirc. It seemed like it never achieved much success of leaving that bubble though. After a while I never noticed it again. I thought about it recently when noticing that a gaming journalist used Steady for his incomes, and Patreon would be the other service to mention.

Looking at the timeline though, it confuses me that this was only 14 years ago. But no, that lines up with how old my own blog is. Feels far away! The web was a different place back then, and Flattr a part of that past, with a slightly different version of the future than the future we got.

I am 38 and more or less in the same shoes, but strangely, I don’t feel like this. Maybe what helps is setting goals. True, I spend mostly time at work and with my family, but for example I have a small goal of making a microcontroller-driven toy for my younger son (I am an electronics engineer). So every day I spend time working on it. I also have time left for reading my fantasy books and even spend time with my wife. On the rare occasions when I/we meet new people I avoid talking about work. I try everyday stuff (boring or not, boring is just a social construct) and/or books. If it doesn’t work, I don’t give a dime if the person found me boring or not. :) Maybe this comes with the years. When I were single and without too many obligations, the only different thing from now was that I was traveling and hiking a lot. Now with the family we try at least 1 time in every 2-3 months. This really recharges my batteries and removes the social anxieties.
2D markers that use color to encode extra bits of information do exist actually, see for example http://josephdegol.com/docs/ChromaTag_ICCV17_Paper.pdf. So it's not a bad idea. But as other commenters mentioned, for this application it might not be a good fit if the researchers are limited to using black and white cameras (understandably - there's a hardware tradeoff to capturing color information in terms of speed and resolution). More generally, color information is harder to capture robustly under varying illumination conditions, not to mention the accuracy of color printing, so these color markers haven't really caught on to my knowledge.

My notes review involves me reading through an entire notebook after filling its pages and then writing a traditional index of important keywords on the last few pages.

These are the benefits:

1. The act of reading-through and indexing serves as a good and deep review session in itself. Forces you to think about what's important.

2. The long interval from inception to review helps me discover and filter out what's truly important and worthy of review, and also relieves me of the pressure of feeling like I need to constantly review and play with and occupy myself with my notes.

3. The index itself continues to serve as a useful lookup tool whenever I need to find something.

---

As these are physical notebooks with hundreds of pages, my review sessions are few and far between, but rigorous. It may take 1-3 months to fill a notebook and then a few hours to read through and index it.

As I'm doing my read-through, I often encounter things that I either can't remember or deem unimportant. These things don't get indexed. Only the important bits. What constitutes important is whatever I feel like at the time. If it piqued my interest enough to write it down two months ago and also piques it now, then it's worthy to be indexed.

Truly important and interesting things don't ever vacate your mind. They'll likely return to you almost naturally over the course of days, weeks, months, years after you've encountered them, even without deliberate review.

So even if I've forgotten many details of something I've notated, I can recall bits of it here and there, and if I want to read the details, that's where the index comes in: I just look up in the index of my notebooks the keywords I can recall, then I can easily find the full relevant sections on the appropriate pages.

Beware - all the notes & note-taking apps and methodologies and crap are largely just a waste of time. They become anti-productive "tool games" [1], born out of procrastination [2].

This is very unfortunate and surprising, goes to show that even after 14 years Flattr didn't find any market.
