> How do you know when a Waymo vehicle is receiving guidance from remote support?

If it calls back for guidance like that, I'm sure there'd have to be a noticeable delay where the car stops and waits for a response. It's going to take at least 10-30s for a human to context switch into the car's situation and input the guidance, probably longer.

To get a faster response from a human, the human would have to be continuously engaged with the car's driving task.

I went to one of those Disney vacation home pitches and the sale pitch was very convincing.

You've just paid about $10K for your ONE Disney vacation for your family of four. For just a little bit more, you could come to Disney as many times as you'd like, stay in your own modern condo and and have park perks. It essentially "pays for itself" if you take two or more full Disney vacations each year.

The sales pitch for any timeshare is similar. For slightly more than the cost of 1 trip, you could have 2+ trips (just pay for airfare!).
I'm trying to imagine time when I would want my car to be connected to the internet. Hard to come up with, other than remote locking, that's it for me. Not sure that's worth the attack surface.

What I do find useful is the car having "cellular connectivity" to make emergency calls. But that doesn't require internet connectivity.

Im against rent control in general, but agree that there are material differences in implementation.

For context, Argentina has had 50% inflation at the time rent control went into place, and inflation had increased to 250% in 2024. The rent control required 3 year contracts in Argentine currency only.

In my opinion, this was essentially a speed run of the effects of other rent control laws which limit rent increases to rates below inflation.

A better analogy is a tapestry. Developers are like weavers, threading designs line by line on a substrate. Some task like "add a leaf to this flower's stem" can be done incrementally, but others like "move the flower one inch up" require unweaving the whole design and rebuilding it from scratch.

I think most of these solutions are "fine" for their stated goals, but the problem is that bookkeeping is tedious. And that's what Jira (or insert ticket system of your choice here) exposes, the tediousness of the task of keeping proper book of your work.

You want to know what's being done, what needs to be done, who's working on what, where they are, what branches or repos are related to that work, how long will it take, etc. And someone's got to write that down, someone's got to keep that up.

There are ways to get things to talk to each other to automate some things, but at the end of the day, you gotta enter the data. It's a lot like the "blockchain" in that regard. The issue has hardly ever been the tools around asset management, the issue is about getting reliable data into the system.

Bookkeeping also takes time from actual development. So estimating how long something takes and recording that estimate makes that task take even longer.
Unconfigured JIRA which the vast majority of JIRA users are subjected to sucks.

I had to eat my shoe on Jira, railed on it for 10y easy.

Once you find a workflow requirement complex enough, very few things can do what JIRA does, including configurability.

Hiring a senior experienced JIRA consultant made a huge difference.

Other options look nice until complexity explodes.

> You can connect to Redis over a local socket, no network overhead.

I think at some point we need to stop and think about the problem, and if an idea makes sense.

Even Redis has a disclaimer in their docs on how SQLite is faster due to the way it does not require network calls. The docs also explain how it's an apples-to-oranges comparison.

D (and Pascal) implement it by adding and additional parameter to the function called the "static link". (The stack pointer is the "dynamic link".) The static link points to the stack frame of the function it is lexically nested inside. The compiler accesses the variables by offsets to the static link.
There are ideologues and there are pragmatists. Partisans are, to varying degrees, ideologues who see the world not as it is but how it must be based upon their presuppositions.

After scanning the Azure and AWS pricing pages and calculators for comparably speced Azure Manged SQL and Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL instances, AWS's RDS comes out at about 1/3 the price of Azure Managed SQL.

This matches my experience with deployments on AWS and Azure. Both are managed db instances, but Azure's is consistently more expensive for comparable offerings on AWS or GCP.

I'd like to point out this is propaganda. The only source is actually a report[1] from January this year, that's where the line, "Buenos Aires saw a doubling of available rental units, and rental prices have stabilized" comes from.

Unfortunately, words often lose their meaning. For example, Democracy. As in the "Deutsche Demokratische Republik", or East Germany as it was. You can put any name on anything. You can call a tyranny democracy. Does that mean Democracy is bad, or does it just mean some people either don't understand it. Democracy is a system of interaction. Agile is a system of interaction. And one could say that Jira is to Agile as the GDR was to democracy. It is designed to sell, right?

And who really cares about Agile? It is a name for a system of interaction in software product development. Just a name. The question is whether there is something better. It is easy to say Jira sucks and Agile sucks. The questions are a) is there a better system of software product development and b) are there good tools that help you implement that system?

And perhaps the other question is WHY? Why is democracy supposed to work? Why is Agile supposed to work?

With the amount of debt they have, they don't really have a choice.

That said, thanks to the efforts of Meta and others, open-source AI running on your desktop is moving along at quite a pace. I can generate images superior to what is available via DALL-E/Meta/ChatGPT, and more or less completely uncensored, thanks to running FLUX.1[dev] locally (albeit slower) on the https://drawthings.ai/ app, and I can do language model work locally that gets very close to approaching, in some cases surpassing, GPT4o (albeit slower), on my M1 Macbook Pro (also uncensored, if that's what you want), and now thanks to Llama 3.2 I can also process images locally.

The only remaining things left are a good substitute for ElevenLabs' still-amazing ability to create realistic voice models of people based on a sample, voice input, multimodal interactive voice chat (i.e. Advanced Voice), more easily accessible function-calling running locally (regarding web requests, you might be able to block OpenAI, but can't block curl running from my house!), and o1-style chain-of-thought reasoning, but I think we have enough clues about how the latter works that we should see something any day now to compete with it.

(going on a tangent for a minute...)

I really want a whole-house computer that runs locally and is in charge of everything, responds like an LLM to voice commands in any voice I want (recognizing who is speaking as well), knows a bunch of things about me, has a personality I can customize like OpenAI's "custom instructions", and executes whatever functions I give it access to (searching the web, running code it's written, etc.), plus can stick to schedules. I'd be happy to pay a small licensing fee for the use of someone's voice.

> Let's be honest, the vast, vast, vast majority or students are only there because they believe they need to tick a box when job searching.

Maybe they -actually- need to tick that box and it doesn’t matter to employers how it’s ticked, just that it is ticked. For some reason, academics and educators really seem to hate the reality that most people go to university not to get a well rounded education, and not for personal enrichment, but because employer gatekeepers require it.

If employers stopped requiring a college degree, I bet college enrollment would drop 90%.
That assumes that software tools will start increasing in quality at some point.

Reality suggests the opposite is more likely to happen, and people will look back on tools today as 'things were better back then'.

I was a newly hired Director of Engineering a company that drank the Kool-Aid of Agile and had an independent team of Scrummasters who just facilitated morning stand-ups. They had no project management responsibilities, so I kept asking what do they do all day after the morning stand-up and no one could answer me. I got severe pushback that they should take on any set of greater responsibilities.

I founded several new teams at that company and was approached by the head of the Scrummasters to integrate with their process. I flatly said no, I don't need your services, I've been running teams for 20 years and I'm good. It became this huge blowup that went all the way up the chain of execs until a compromise was reached - I had to accept Scrummasters for my teams but I could direct them to do nothing except basic JIRA ticket shuffling.

Fast forward a few years, I've left that place, but my teams became the centerpieces of the company and all new teams are now modeled after them. The Scrummaster team was cut in half.

The best part is my team structure is closer to the spirit of Agile with self-organizing teams empowered to operate how best suits them and the Scrummaster team was forcing rigid ceremonies that were at best time consuming and at worst completely useless.

It looks like Matt is using the WordPress non-profit to attack a competitor. Additionally, he cut off services to that competitor with the clear intent of disrupting their service and customers and talks about trademark infringement, despite their use of the trademark clearly being covered by their very own guidelines, and, to literally add insult to injury, he describes the situation in very emotional language.

It's not like I don't see Matts side, but the way he is acting is extremely unprofessional and looks like a temper tantrum. WPEngine might be a large business, but so is Automattic and this kind of scorched earth-approach is hard to support.

imo: In Europe, almost every significant issue has layers of legislation designed to protect large industries and corporations. These laws often prioritize corporate interests over solving real societal problems. I would argue that more freedom for startups to innovate in spaces like Pharma, Industry, Resource Efficiency, Public services... would benefit society as a whole. However, this requires two key things: 1) substantial investment $$$, and 2) navigating through the mentioned layers of bureaucracy and "protective" (protecting who) laws.

For me, again my opinion, It’s been really frustrating trying to find investment for some MVPs, only to have ideas shut down by these barriers.
