Does anyone know how software updates are tested for such autonomous driving software ? Is there a possibility for this driver's video to be added to a regression suite and tested, or can they take the data from his car and build a reg

It would appear that a large part of the problem is the person's finances are in such bad order, they cannot afford to buy the diapers in bulk. Could the local church or community organisation not buy the nappies in the bulk and then

Did you read the biography? This point is specifically addressed by the author and the author also refused Musk the control he wanted e.g. in terms of a right of reply to all points in the book. Some of the book is very vivid in its portray

I used to be one of the people who poked fun at Musk and suggested people short Tesla stock (as the valuation is crazy compared to the production and penetration numbers). But I am no longer that person. I read his biography (Elon Musk: Te

I know a lot of the comments are saying what a bad example. And how trivial it is. But it’s a clear illustration of Apple’s lack of attention to detail now. I dare say there was a time when Apple would never have published such an advert. L

If you’re setting deadlines of forty minutes then I suggest you’re losing good candidates, who like to assess a problem and think through a solution first. It’s just creating pressure. Unless your code exercises are takes on these fizzbuzz

I am guessing fizzbuzz or something similar. I was applied for a job and got asked to do an n queens programming task. It was for a commodity trading firm. I told them no thanks. When I set code exercises I craft them myself and make them a

I don’t like the timeboxing aspect. It’s putting pressure on the candidate. I don’t know why the website says there is less pressure when it’s time limited. Do you have a study or other evidence to support this claim? For code exercises I

I tried loading this on mobile safari and it looks ridiculous. The last cell of the table is very narrow and the text piles up vertically. For a company like Google the mess they make of how their pages display on mobiles is astonishing.

I really do not think this statement is true. AFAIK the limits are in place to limit fraud (if someone has skimmed or stolen your card) and to prevent theft (someone mugging you as you withdraw a huge amount of cash). If what you are saying

Is there an online reading club for tech articles and books?

Completely agree. Adding a proper primary key e.g. from a sequence involves very little extra overhead and protects against this. Asking them to drop the constraint in the future sounds a bit silly as that may mean two members get deleted w

Me too. He may well have valid points but, as someone who has written mission critical software systems in Java, this destroys the credibility of the article for me.

It's surely a story of successful corporate culture ? Maybe Amazon just have a very clear focus, driven by Bezos.

I have worked on a project with hundreds of people on it. But if I take the calculator example where you can’t add numbers together properly because of the animation lag, I doubt that more than one or two developers built that. Someone shou

I would have expected someone working at Apple who should be getting paid a high salary and writing software that is used by millions of people to have huge pride in their work. This means testing what they deliver in isolation and on integ

I don’t think COBOL does force you to mix concerns. You could create sub modules / services which you call from a main program to do things like file writing or database reading. Java doesn’t also say you have to separate concerns. You

There’s an excellent app called BabyConnect that we used for this with our daughter. Of course eventually we (like most parents I believe) learned to relax and not obsessively record sleep, feeds and nappies. My friends who have more than o

Yes. But it’s cumbersome. With a plus model I can swipe left one handed. I need two hands to swipe down from the top.

This is where the alarm would be a grey colour instead of green? I missed alarms this way too in iOS 10. It’s worked so far in iOS 11. A shocking bug. I reported it to apple on twitter. Instead of saying yes we’re incompetent, they wanted t

The lack of attention to detail by Apple recently e.g. code reviews, in house testing is clearly too low. I have seen too many software failures recently from this company. Like photos freezing on my new iMac (before High Sierra), numerous
