We own a Model Y and now subscribe to FSD. The car is basically done and I sort of see why Tesla isn’t bothering

From the point of view of a developer looking to differentiate themselves. The instinct is to look for generalizations, abstractions, composability, but as Boris says, these just get subsumed into the latest model RL. So what expertise is l

There’s really not much to specialize in and differentiate yourself. All this harness customization is fleeting. Remember prompt engineering?

It’s been my experience as of recently. I point it at an issue tracker and ask it to investigate, write a test to reproduce the problem and plan a fix together. There’s lots of hand holding from me but it saves me a lot of work and I’ve bee

I worked with XSLT almost from the beginning of my career and it was a blessing in disguise. Shoutout to Michael Kay.

Often, the clients of legacy code are old too, and are hard coded to access it. I've done this, but on a private branch, with a single merge to trunk in the end. Starting with complex integration tests, new interfaces were gradually de

I’ve been using an air quality monitor and a few HEPA air purifiers around the house for years. It’s affordable and effective.

I don’t even read Bloomberg and NYT links anymore, just head straight to the discussion and see if this is something I need to get bothered about.

That’s an exaggeration. Oakland is actually a nice place. My observation is that, in the eyes of progressives, working class folks and politicians, the city government and services are first a source of jobs, and services are secondary.

California protections against balance/surprise medical billing are not enforceable when an employee is covered by a "self-insured" or "self-funded" employer plan. California doesn't regulate that plan, and als

These laws don't apply to employees covered by employer self-funded plans, which are predominant. California can't enforce them in most cases.

Maybe the author of Socket.io and Zeit.co just happens to work on integration problems?

You should try it. I switched interest based ads off on Google a few times, and also tried using YouTube while logged out. It’s pure trash. When you opt out of interest based ads you actually opt in to their inventory of worst content imagi

I'm hopeful that some of this will fade once the Java 9 module system becomes available.

If I write testable code, coverage comes naturally and I don't worry about it. I do think it's misguided to focus on coverage. To me unit testing is a development tool. I write my class inside a test suite and extract it when read

I wanted to join their previous Line effort, but re-read my insurance policy and found it falls under prohibited commercial driving. The terms now encompass any participation in online ride-coordinating services. Government needs to step in

It's always at the "bottom", but the bottom changes, which requires changing the grip to reach the control, which triggers another rotation and so on.

I guess any sort of trouble with the iPhone is an extremely minor thing in the grand scheme of things. What to do about it? I can't presume to know what they tested and rejected, but screen orientation control needs to be independent o

by sivanmz 11y ago
No, the point is precisely that the bottom of the screen also changes with the orientation.

I wish something was done about rotation lock for reading in bed. Activating it from Control Center, which itself changes orientation, is maddening.

First time I tried chess on my phone. Fat finger is a usability problem with irreversible consequences. I had to abandon a game. Maybe drag and drop is not the best interaction model here.

Ugh. There was a time AdBlock made pleas for donations for this mom and pop operation that won't sell out, and I donated.

Oakland police is severely understaffed, by about a half of what a city of this size would require.

by sivanmz 11y ago
Witnesses calling the police can't reliably locate the source of the gunfire. Wind, hills and buildings carry, echo and deflect the source beyond any hope. That's why a triangulating system like this is essential.

One persistent source of ambiguity is the arrow from the controller to the view. I've seen so many implementations that take this to mean that in response to a user action the controller modifies the model and updates the view, rather
