A user might not know to look for that sort of thing. That's why we rely on regulators, safety standards, etc. I didn't even know what "immobilizer" meant in this context before hearing about the issue with Kia and Hyund

No, it's day trading and picking stocks which is betting against wall street firms, obviously that's not the way to go. But that's not all of investing. If you are diversified and tune a portfolio for risk, it's more lik

I've played a bit with weggli, it's pretty useful for "grepping" an entire codebase for patterns (for example, to search for antipatterns in a codebase) Perhaps more capable but also more complex is clang-query: https:&

Yeah it's definitely a balance--the big company-wide meetings can be good for context but could also be too broad in scope. On a couple occasions I've enjoyed medium-sized informal get-togethers with my team, and I can sort of pic

I would think if you depend on data stored in a container being persistent, it's an indication you really should be mounting a volume to the container and persisting the data there. Then container restarts won't matter. Best pract

I completely agree--in my day-to-day, I'm very much in my head about the problem at hand. I respect folks who can keep the long-term vision in their sights while applying that to short-term decisions which will help in the future. Some

Pretty sure they meant Guix the OS not the package manager. The OS uses GNU Shepherd. Of course if you install the package manager on another OS, you get whatever that OS chose for an init system.

It's possible this is including many misclassified listings (e.g. hourly paid internships). Additionally, I've seen some listings for higher level jobs for absurdly low salaries ($19,000) which I can only imagine are typos. I wond

For what it's worth, with many Hugo themes, it is possible to add a "Disqus" (or other provider) comment section to posts by simply adding a token to the static site's config file. See: https://gohugo.io/

I think you're being downvoted because the imprecision you speak of is a result of: consumer GPS receivers having a limited polling rate, limited precision, and only using one GPS frequency. You can't extrapolate the limitations o

Your assumption seems to be that if: 1) an existing language has finite utility 2) a language where any string is a valid program has no utility , that it must be true that utility decreases with the unconstrained-ness of a language (and th

I agree with other comments suggestions: - Use the app, see what is slow from a subjective UX perspective - Profile your code, find hotspots - Use system monitoring to determine if there are any hardware/network bottlenecks One thing I

Phones probably don't interfere with medical equipment--patients use phones all the time with no issues. Not to mention most medical equipment is subject not only to the usual FCC electronics regulations on electromagnetic interference

I think this is what they were saying--pre-tax refers to traditional, post-tax to roth. Only traditional ira/401k reduces the marginal tax rate. So the decision to go for traditional or roth depends on how you expect your tax bracket t

If I don't publish my private SSH keys for all to see, am I being deceptive? No, I am protecting my interests. While I do prefer to know when Apple is acting in bad faith, this blanket statement is a weird one to make.

This got me interested so I brushed off my notes from grad school--GPS predecessors like the US Navy's Timation first used quartz oscillators, then graduated to atomic clocks in orbit. However, even now ground station atomic clocks iss

I just tested this with a private repo and confirmed: currently if you search for text that appears only in old commits and was removed, I see nothing show up in the search. I would like to search not only for text in the latest state of th

In the US, you can do engineering work without having a PE, no licensing required, and any degree requirements are usually imposed by the company not regulations. There are only some things that require a PE. Source: I studied EE, did not g

Every now and then Gravity shows up on hn and it always makes me smile--a couple years ago I added some built-in array methods as one of my first forays into compilers and I had a lot of fun with it. Probably my first "real" OSS c

Likewise, anyone that sells investing advice. Most make their money off of the service, not off of applying their knowledge, which really tells you their knowledge isn't worth much.

We have all been "idiots" at some point. Gatekeeping is how you kill a field by removing all the beginners who might one day produce the next big development.

And even cheaper is Amazon Lightsail starting at $3.50/mo, pretty hard to beat. I think for the amount of time spent managing a server and DNS things at home, these options may be more desirable.

The point is that the SATs don't measure intelligence. "not intelligent enough to do well on the SATs" is harsh. And if anything I think it would go the other way--it's common to get a subpar grade on the SAT even if you

There are "Dynamic DNS" services with a small daemon you install on your server that continuously update the DNS address so it remains online even if your ISP changes your IP on you. https://account.dyn.com/ http

My first co-op in 2016 was 6 months at Desktop Metal. They're worth at least $1.5B (Forbes article from 2019). I got the co-op through school--Northeastern has a well established co-op program and they have lots of connections to compa

I never really used it, but I did make some contributions to the language. In looking through some of the ecosystem, it seemed like the library ecosystem left a bit to be desired, but the standard library does show promise. I think its exte

I had the pleasure of contributing to Gravity a few years ago. I added builtin filter, map, reduce, reverse, and sort functions and tests to the array types. Marco was very receptive to my additions, and it felt very welcoming to newcomers.

There are also HSA plans, which are not "use it or lose it", but require high deductible insurance plans. I consider the two options targeting two entirely different audiences. If you have high or very predictable medical costs, y
