And every sensor you add is additional cost, not just upfront, but maintenance for ever .

The problem is that they run close enough together that any failures rapidly cascade until suddenly your whole network is a half hour late as it grinds to a halt...

What matters is being 100x faster than python, not 5x slower than C++ or 2x slower than Java. Performant enough that IO (or network) rather than CPU is the bottleneck (in my limited experience). Personally I just far prefer to work in a GCe

Yes, and those "sensors" have very limited precision. There's only one every several hundred yards.

Complex isn't the same thing as hard. The rust syntax often times looks like a cat walked across the keyboard.

You can't assume those things in a subway, either. GPS doesn't work underground.

More predictable maybe, but also way more intensive (only 30-60 seconds between trains, vs rural freight where many lines only see one or two trains per DAY, or even per week.

This is ridiculous conspiracy. A few thousand people in a city of millions is not a dominant voting bloc.

Yeah, there were times, even running a fairly busy site, that the bots would outnumber user traffic 10:1 or more, and the bots loved to endlessly troll through things like archive indexs that could be computationally (db) expensive. At one

That's easy to say when it's your bot, but I've been on the other side to know that the problem isn't your bot, it's the 9000 other ones just like it, none of which will deliver traffic anywhere close to the resourc

They were illegal up until quasi recently… mid 90s IIRC. I believe it was right around the time of Viagra - probably not a coincidence.

Sysco is probably pretty close if you ignore the extremes of the market.

No, no, and no. Different controls with different t shapes, operated in different ways, of different number, different size, and very different positions. One is down almost on the floor, and well rearward, the other is at stomach height an

More like 30 seconds. Just throttling an already running engine up from idle (which is quite a bit above zero throttle in most respects) takes seconds.

> The comparison might be loose, but the problem is similar to releasing a browser. Do you prevent users from accessing websites you think are malicious or illegal? Or do you delegate that responsibility? I might liken the situation more

One of my big beefs with modern UI is two-state controls where it's impossible to determine what the current state actually is. Like a button that says "Music Off" where it's unclear if that means the music is CURRENTLY

Almost all games include large amounts of licensed code. Without the source to that what good does having the source for the game matter? Or the server?

I don't understand the idea that imposing some sort of infinite future obligation on an organization that can be easily made to not exist can possibly be viable. Frankly I think this whole "movement" is kinda dumb and deeply

Mozilla seems to be infected by upper management that feels a need to justify ever spiraling salaries.

Eh? Plenty of cults like Jehivahs Witnesses that are exploitive as hell.

I find attitudes like this simply bizzare. nothing about rust is 'easy' no matter how much it's fans insist it so. Just the syntax is miserable punctuation soup to start with.

I worked at a small group of local dallies doing IT/Dev stuff about 15 years ago. Just the struggles we had dealing with very basic login/password with a large fraction of our userbase... Also, a subscription was much more valuab

Because a bag of parts isn’t a functioning device, and things like labor and customer support cost money? Things like a “nice case” can only be done affordably when you’re stamping out tens of thousands of the things.

The one thing that grinds my gears is how they made it mandatory for lock page widgets. I don’t need my smart lights faceid protected when I’m trying to turn them on in the middle of the night

That is absolutely a social construct and not a language feature. You can override “private” members just fine with a simple assignment.

Yes, exactly. A snake is mostly bones and digestive tract. Almost no fat (they’re ambush predators and only eat every few weeks typically).

Yes, there’s still not much meat on them, and it’s not meats want to eat. Carnivore meat tends to be extremely gamey.

There is very little meat on a snake.

How is Uber subcontracting a ride out to waymo really any different from subcontracting out to a gig worker? It's not an Uber employee or an Uber owned or maintained car in either case.

I almost always have headphones (or passive earmuffs) on so conversation isn't really an issue - but the number of rideshare cars with multiple warning lights on (Tire pressure, etc) is really rather alarming.
