What about it?

It is purely because of the lack of static addressing. Probably an entire country's GDP-worth of SaaS products are essentially nothing more than providing basically a proxy to other devices that have to have apps installed to speak the

Mainly during roadworks where temporary signage and barriers are put in place that override road markings. Maybe it's different in the UK (where I'm from) but it's pretty commonplace here, and would be really weird to indicat

I'm in the UK, to be fair, but it is common here when doing roadworks on a motorway to close one side of the motorway and set up cones which guide traffic onto the other side to share the "wrong" side of the motorway lanes (d

My comment was a bit misleading, sorry. I do indicate when passing cyclists. I read your comment as suggesting that the assumption lane assist makes is OK because one should always indicate when crossing a lane marking (which is not always

There's a causation fallacy at work here. To infer that autopilot is safer according to these stats you would have to control for far too may confounding factors. For example, the majority of crashes occur in rural and urban settings.

There are a lot of cases where you pass a line without indicating though. There are also a lot of cases where a line ease off to the side in a turn-off that would guide the lane assisted vehicle off the road. Just do a google search for the

I have actually been in a car crash that was caused by the lane-assist feature in the Rivian R1S. It misread the proximity of the concrete K-rails on each side and jerked the steering wheel into the wrong lane. The correction of the driver

I can't say I disagree with anything here, it is well reasoned. I do have a knee-jerk reaction when I see any outright refusal to provide known information. I see this kind of thing as a sort of war of attrition, whereby 10 years down

I get what you're saying, and you're right - I definitely set up a straw man there. That said, employing a bit of imagination it's easy to see how the increasing number of safety rails on AI combined with a cultural shift a

It is nuts to me that people defend this. Imagine reading a book on C# and the chapter on low level memory techniques just said "I won't tell you how to do this because it's dangerous." "It's better and safer f

To be honest, you can get quite a lot of mileage out of EXPLAIN by focusing on which indices the plan selected (or did not select). For this reason it's really worth understanding your indices and what value they add (or remove!).

Consciousness is unique, because it gives rise to the problems of qualia. None of the other examples face this issue. A.k.a. "Why is there a "likeness" of subjective experience?" and "why am I me and not somebody el

It is easy to represent a graph in Postgres using edge and node tables. For the use case we have, it is more performant to query such a setup for many millions of relationships vs using the big names in graph databases. You just need a litt

This desire can sometimes be so strong that people insist on truly wacky decisions. I have before demonstrated that Postgres performs perfectly well (and in fact exceeds) compared with a niche graph database, and heard some very strange rea

If you have a link to the other similar ones that would be useful.

Not sure if this is the point you're making, but that is probably due to "Edward Cullen" of Twilight.

I somehow was _immensely lucky_ to have joined a company that IPO'd shortly after joining. As a mid level engineer I sold my shares for literally $140,000 after tax, in total (as in, from selling all of my vested shares as they vested)

Yes, although The Egg ultimately presumes separation of consciousness at some "higher level" given that there is a dialogue between such consciousnesses. My greater sense of loneliness comes from a sense that the very premise of a

I sometimes wonder if we are all basically the same conscious, threading through all of the "antennae" of life one after another. But I find this idea painful because it is tantamount to an immense cosmic loneliness.

If you haven't read any Douglas Hofstadter, do so at the earliest opportunity.

Clojure is just fantastic for this kind of thing. You can really tell Rich Hickey and the wider community has spent a lot of time thinking about developer problems and actually fixing them with sensible tooling.

Honestly, fair enough. I probably misread your tone!

X years in tech and you haven't Y. Pick any X and Y that maximises your ability to feel superior, I suppose.

FWIW, we also get non-stop cookie permission banners and often just straight-up denied access to certain services that don't want to have to jump through the hoops.

True, in which case it might be even more painful: imagine ending a year long epic to consolidate user account logic only to have to reverse it.

This must have been a painful engineering effort that I bet absolutely consumed the backlogs of at least tens of teams. Usually business assumptions about user accounts have their tendrils deep into the architecture and services that presum
