Overall, it is shoddy writing. A pet peeve of mine is on display: "The victim suffered critical injuries but died after reaching the hospital." The use of "but" here is confusing. It's the wrong conjunction. The aut

In straight dollars, perhaps yes. But the new servers don't show up and spend 3 to 6 months before accomplishing anything meaningful, don't require sick time which can cause the optimizations to slip, and don't take 3 months

Perhaps not. I also don't want some cops to be the ones on patrol, out of fear that they might act on strong biases. But I also wouldn't excuse them for pulling someone over and immediately opening fire with intent to kill in orde

Scrum as a concept doesn't matter. Agile as a thing doesn't matter. Team structure doesn't matter. All that matters is who has authority and the business both enforcing that authority and also making sure that authority is be

The reality is that in order to make the technology safe, you need to be able to expose it to the conditions under which it will operate. To me, this is not the issue. The issue is whether companies have the requisite technology in place to

Based on personal experience, yes if an AV is susceptible to a problem, then all of them are susceptible on at least the same software and hardware configuration. This is the same in every safety-critical field. The comment is a bit naive t

Typesanitizer, I just want to note that I'm not downvoting you. I found nothing objectionable about your comment. I'm unsure what the expectation is here. I'm allowed to say we had a poor experience, you should be allowed to

I don't want to go into specifics. The problems we encountered were that they could not rewrite the targets in our build system for the automated refactoring, and any missing include path at all would cause the clang-based tooling they

We hired 2 junior developers for maybe 20K more total, in total compensation, than their original quote. But you (and child) comment made me realize that I don't remember the terms of the proposal, whether it was per year or for 2 year

Their support in the demo period sucked, their complex C++ support was lacking, they didn't integrate into modern C++ build systems well, and their prices were insane. They kept trying to push this "campaign" feature on us, w

Yeah, everything you're writing is just coming off as projection. Let's part ways, you have no insights to add, only ugly accusations of people you've never met.

I didn't flag it. I'm not improperly judging anything. I have lived this for too long. "No good reason" is a fantasy. There is "no good reason" other than the real world standing in the way, which is an economi

Perhaps not everyone knows what AUTOSAR is. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AUTOSAR . Think: automotive brake controllers, that type of shit. It is safety critical. My point isn't that the rules apply universally,

Ever write against AUTOSAR? Vendors will implement full state machines in the preprocessor. Generated code will include the same header 2 or 3 times, because each time through, the state machine has changed and different code is exposed. I

Thinly-veiled racism? You are conflating geopolitics and economics that could concern someone who could end up being affected by such a trend (which the poster isn't, as they said later) with racism. Is someone in a given country suppo

Thank you for the well-written and polite reply. You taught me that the residence times are the big problem, and for all of the arguments and discussion generated through the years on this, I have never once heard this.

Hmm, most of that passes the smell test to me, thanks. The part that doesn't: I'm admittedly looking only at my Urban area, but traffic is much less than it was. I still commute to the office, and it just isn't what it used t

In most of 2020, and large parts of 2021, the U.S. economy tanked, along with a substantial number of active road users, air travelers, manufacturing services, logistics, etc. Even today in my not-quite-urban living area, the traffic seems

Nah. Nobody complaints when you invent words or phrases to add clarity, but most academic papers are NOT doing this. It's an academic circle-j** where all the authors play the same game to try to fit in with each other. And in this res
