Name me a product that Tesla has sold that did not meet the spec advertised on the buy page with the price? You can’t. What you can do is name cases where Tesla says they aspire to make “X” and er got “Y” by the time we could buy it. The cl

Then why do those cars not come with a standard 100k warranty?

That’s the bar now?

I hate this argument in business. A goal not some metric that has to be met. It’s a goal, an aspiration to do something, not a deadline. Most businesses ran by people who use goals as deadlines fail horridly. This is one thing many of the m

I keep seeing people say this. What are these? Have you seen a hummer or a ford F2 or f350? What about a Lexus LS or GX? Cadillac Escalade or Lincoln Navigator? What about a Camry other than its size specifically is for pedestrians when hit

It’s has nothing to do with being simple and everything to do with wha the database looks like at the end of the day. Some ORMs are better than others but if if you have ever looked at a database created by a ORM it always has weird lookup

Its better than sitting silent and doing nothing. What it does is validate other peoples feelings who feel the same way. And just maybe, that validation will lead to them saying "fuck ORMs" when some junior dev comes in and tries

We now have “senior software engineers” who have written zero lines of production code and are masters of jira and confluence. :/

Me? I compile most of my OS and I would like it faster. I also like being able to compile and game at the same time. Or run many OSs in VMs at the same time.

Are you going to drive me to work everyday after the transaction? The difference is the kids have been spending estate money and have access to all the assets the estate controls. It make no sense that would change because a member of the

You can afford it.

No. It’s a feature. Chaining makes some of the worst unreadable code.

> My issue with the go way of iterators is, you can’t chain them like you would in JavaScrip Because it’s not JavaScript, and that is a good thing.

I can see the reasoning. But the value did not really move. As the estate is family owned. The family did not die, a member of it did.

I don’t believe sharing was all that common. But the difference in your story is voluntary sharing. Once the hunter demands water for meat it becomes an exchange, and is the basis of our capitalist society. Taxes in that system would be mor

Maybe all your secrets should be node locked …

Sure there are more secure ways if you own the code base. But listen you have a mix of those in any system. Consul template can render a config in memory. That is safer. But my gripe is the phrase. The phrase leads to worse situations.

You can also do some nice things with https://github.com/getsops/sops , I store encrypted password and secrets on git with sops, but I also use nix so I have near perfect integration with my services.

Don't use secrets in environment variables, but use this secret in environment variables, but this one gives you access to all secrets. Things like vault which was suggested still requires you to pass the vault token in to your app s

We have a real problem with app stores. The thing is. I like apps needing to display and even better request permissions for resources like the camera, files and clipboard. But that should be the limit. What I don’t want is somebody, anybod

No they did not. They threatened to simply stop offering loans for school. The only way to get them back on board was to make the loans they issue for school was to make it so such loans could survive bankruptcy. Many banks were fine not o

You flew too close to the sun. You can’t argue with a bunch of people who are in debt and learned that playing the victim pays. It’s funny. That everybody is mad at the banks and schools. But the politicians and do good laws passed are wha

No. I am arguing it’s complex because of bad design decisions both in the software and business organization. Everything they do today could be done with under 100 engineers, maybe less.

No. I did not read your comment until now. Not sure how I replied to it. But anyways much of what you are listing is just more stuff that sounds complex or is not needed. It exist because there was money and it was a big bloated organizati

> The complexity of a massive org like the NYT is significantly non trivial. I think that is the point. At face value what they produce, simply should not be that complex. It seems it’s complex for the sake of being a big complex organiz
