This reminds me of my rant about televisions versus monitors on my 2014 blog entry "4K is for Programmers." https://tiamat.tsotech.com/4k-is-for-programmers

I am in favor of permanent standard time, but failing that, I am super happy with permanent daylight-saving time. Far more important to me is ridding ourselves of the twice-annual insanity of changing clocks. I'd be okay with adopti

Furthermore, although it's for use on the autobahn, it's limited to 37 MPH, further narrowing its use case.

This has become bad enough that operators of personal mail servers are put into no-win situations and generally give up. Either we can concede defeat and relay personal correspondence email through a commercial service or we can just accept

I am surprised by the settings skepticism in this thread. By insisting that preferences/settings are indeed a design failure, many here are missing out on relatively easy user delight wins. I think there is an illusory adversarial re

How about this rewrite: Some users love settings. Yes, it's an exercise for the developer to know their audience and their affinity for settings. As a user of software, I agree with the author: I am generally happier with software th

In the Assertive profile, it can do rolling stops, but only under circumstances where it is very safe, such as four-way stops with no other driving vehicles present.

I think as long as autonomous drive systems are intermingling on regular roads with human drivers, they need to behave like human drivers. Human drivers will get angry with autonomous systems, especially during rush hour, if they adhere st

Indeed. Similarly, we may eventually need to contend with the fact that posted speed limits are, in most jurisdictions that I know, at least 5 to 10 MPH lower than the enforced limit. Virtually all human drivers drive some small amount ove

Rolling stops were only enabled in the "Aggressive" FSD Beta driving profile, one of three available profiles. Several FSD Beta testers used the Aggressive profile in areas where rolling stops are common. They did this because w

I wish they had not used vintage magazine covers for their illustration. By using old covers, I wasn't sure how much of the drabness was caused by the device and how much was attributable to the original image being drab.

I would be very happy with a third option. As an iPhone user, I really am unhappy with iOS, but any time I even briefly entertain the idea of switching to Android, I laugh at the idea. Both options are bad, and I'm stuck with the les

As a former Atari ST user, I admit this is the truth.

That must be why the take rate for FSD Beta is so low.

> Elon Musk is lionized and can do no harm. Criticizing Musk is like criticizing technology itself - a blasphemous act; the believers are undeterred. You must be delusional. Look at this thread, or any thread reporting on Tesla problem

Agreed. Am I crazy that the "before" looks better and more natural to me? The "after" looks like he is illuminated from the side only in a dungeon.

Feels similar to having to say goodbye to Windows Phone. I now use iOS and despite Apple having added some features from Windows Phone in recent versions, I still feel it's years behind where we were.

Agreed. I appreciate the author adding the small effort to briefly describe the idiosyncratic pieces (e.g., Rune) in their unique problem space. So often, writers believe their readers all play in a similar problem space. So they elect to l

Does googlesyndication.com serve anything that is in the user's interest? I've had that domain blocked for several years and don't think I've ever noticed it hindering any experience.

I feel as if engineers at firms that build systems that use open source libraries should campaign internally to create budget line items for paying non-trivial amounts to the maintainers of those libraries. I find it difficult to blame deve

I'm not the same person, but for whatever it's worth, I found it easier to understand Torchlight from your landing page. It has less emphasis on social validation and more on specifically what the software does , which speaks mor

Presumably you are aware that the visualization you see in any retail car is old software, and several iterations behind what the linked video is about (FSD Beta v10). Plus the visualization is quite a bit different (and in many ways simpl

Bear in mind that many younger people grew up with mobile computing first. So they're not as familiar with the "power user" desktop computing behaviors us older people have developed. Not dismissing that Google Docs overlay m
