Not exactly my point. I meant to say: I think the quality varies both per factory and over time. There's a lot of complexity in industrial production. From the outside it looks like there's only the classic and the revamped design

I also believe the amount of panel gaps varies a lot per factory.

Same experience with my 2022 Model Y: Have yet not had a single problem for two years. Surely the problem lies in a high variance in the production of later models. Like when you visit a stellar restaurant and come back years later to reali

There is something beautiful about global, mutable state: Your program must be really small and scoped for this to make sense. Also, kudos for providing so many corner cases to avoid that are non-trivial to formulate. It feels like one of t

I somehow ended up doing the same. Probably as a result of too many failed heroic attempts at modifying read-only code in one big go. Now any heroic modification of code comes in a series of incontroversial, isolated and testably idempotent

Yes, but you'd have to invite each interviewer by their GitHub handle. An unlisted repository would be one that is public to those who know the URL.

The watermarks are both PDF metadata and slight variation in wording. The metaphor of a watermark indeed falls short, and it should perhaps be called fingerprinting.

NixOS suffers a little from rapid upstream changes like Arch. You can pin nixpkgs and bump when you feel like it (or when a version of something isn’t recent enough), which is great. However, bumping every three months always renders my con

On a roadtrip ten years back we chose to navigate by map and compass, and avoid highways. With sat nav I don't even try to read the exit signs; I just follow the blue line. It takes me 10-20 drives somewhere before I have the muscle me

I use LLMs as a translation tool, and make sure to generate JSON flashcards. Sometimes it is more important to get a point across in another language than it is to learn that language. Computers being automatable, you can use it to create a

I assume you disagree with there being such a thing as "responsible AI use", because besides that, I completely agree with everything you write, including my own experience of "spot wrong answers, but feel becoming lazy"

Projects are personal projects, or at least projects in which you did a distinguishable effort. They don't have to be public to the whole world, you can have links that are only in your resume. But if they're on GitHub, they have

I can't speak for job interviewing, but having recently completed 3rd-semester trade-school oral exams in Java programming: It is really important to watch people code. Anyone can fake an abstract overview.

I use LLMs to shorten my verbose email writing style. It’s AI anti-slop and I presume people like it.

Thank you for the elaborate explanation. I understand the definition of real-time. I just don't understand why you need an operating system, compared to building a real-time firmware application with a runtime that contains a scheduler

Some years into Rust firmware with no classic RTOS experience: I get the feeling that embedded async Rust is a little like an RTOS library toolkit. Why do you need an OS abstraction when you can handcraft an embedded async runtime? Componen
