Maybe you’re right, maybe you’re not. But if you’re right i think it’s more “investor wishcasting” than developers. It really doesn’t matter what us devs think. Investors and industry leaders have decided that AI development is the way forw

The article says this has been running since 1963 though. The program would’ve been running through the post-war period of economic growth, as well as during the lost decades. It also mentions that it was done to drive sales.

I used to do that too, but now I go to my spam folder and grab the latest phishing email and use the reply-to address. I like the idea of some sales guy following up a lead with a Nigerian scammer, but sadly I’ll never see the email exchang

Yep, I was referring to the license suspension for 6 months though, which is what the earlier post was talking about. What you’re referring to is a license suspension for 3 months.

I'm not the person you replied to, but in a 110 km/h (70 mph) zone you'd get away with just a fine in Australia if caught/pulled over. To lose your license for six months, you'd need to be doing 130+ km/h in an

One problem with the idea of a “standard drink” is that what people typically get at a bar (eg a pint of beer) is actually a fair bit more than a standard drink. It’s unrelated to a typical pour.

Where I live, and it seems in most places in the world, a standard drink is 10g of alcohol. > The definition of what constitutes a standard drink varies very widely between countries,[2] with what each country defines as the amount of pu

I’m just going by the article, which describes it as a “surprise update” that “came out of nowhere”. Am I missing something?

Having an “aged battery” is very different from having a battery that was suddenly ruined by a buggy update that can’t be rolled back though.

This is probably above your paygrade, and definitely outside of your role as an IC. In this case, I'd suggest accepting that it's just your job as a relatively senior engineer to coach more junior people, even if it's the wro

I definitely don’t think they have it easier. They work hard and the stakes are much higher. But what you’re talking about is a person whose job it is to be oncall. It’s the equivalent of an SRE, rather than a SWE. They’re not doing it beca

Pretty sure the Subaru Crosstrek mentioned in the article doesn't have one, but a WRX STI (also marketed as "AWD") has a lockable center diff. I agree with the other comment: if the Parks Service wants locking diffs (or ride
