Are you trolling? The FARS data does call out the same concerns you list, but in a "we can do even better" way. The fatality and accident numbers have absolutely gone down with backup cameras. This reminds me of when my father w

There were some cars with better visibility. I would question the caprice being one, but generally smaller cars did have better visibility. Such that something like a Kia Soul has ok visibility. Still is absolutely nothing compared to us

by taeric 1y ago
We must have driven very different cars. Rear visibility has always been terrible, and rear cameras are a god send.

I'm curious who you are routinely interacting with that they care about your car keys. :D I do think the writing is on the wall for old fashioned keys, though? For one, they don't really give you that much protection. As laugha

I'm sympathetic. Apologetic, even. I can sadly see an easy way to read the tone of my reply as overly condescending. But, to counter with the assumption that I have limited experience with kids is not helping the discourse. It was s

I think a lot of this should have fallen back to liability setting in the laws, then? I feel safe saying cops should not be ticketing people for kids being in the seat wrong. However, I can see your rates going up if you are found to be i

Yeah, I suspected this likely did not hold up to volume constraints. It may have been the highest volume they could hit with all of the other constraints? Put differently, give engineering an unsolvable constraint set, expect engineering t

I'm sympathetic, in that I can easily see a situation where they were given constraints that kind of forced this. Still more than a little eye opening to see it actually built.

I definitely feel a bit lucky that my kids were big enough to be out of car seats by elementary school, already. That said, I thought most were out of needing car seats by the second or third grade? I'm surprised to hear it is at all

Don't make it a battle, is my point? Give them something they can control, if that helps. But, if they can't take a "no" then that is a problem. And not one to be fixed by just avoiding it. Don't get me wrong, I&

What? If you can't tell your kids no without feeling guilty, it actually sounds like you need more places to tell your kids no? If they are whining about it, set the expectation that whining and not accepting a no is, itself, unaccep

Agreed on the uneven distribution. I would posit that this is probably even uneven in the communities, as well? Just because you knew everyone in your block doesn't mean they knew each other that well. Similarly, I expect most kids i

I'm somewhat curious on if these optimizations would all have roughly the same impact if done in other orders? The presentation certainly makes it look like creating a big list of tokens is always the culprit here. Seems somewhat exp

Trust me, it isn't that annoying. Having sea lions that won't stop barking all day is annoying. Coyotes in mating season is obnoxious. A rooster that has decided to not be quiet is annoying. So sure, kids doing kid things can b

Oh, I know that that must be the case for a lot of folks. The movie Trainspotting did a pretty good job communicating some of that. The surprise on my end is usually that new people smoke. Anyone that had already developed the habit, I am

I suspect they didn't know each other that well back in the day, either. We just tell ourselves that they did. When we've lived in apartment complexes, as an easy example, there were a lot of people we didn't know. We just

What happened is that everything turned into playdates? When we were kids, the general direction was GTFO, and don't be late for dinner. Who did you go play with? Whoever was at the park. When you got older, you hopefully had acces

by taeric 1y ago
Certainly, there were plenty of "dude, really?" moments when kids would go over on limits. It is hard not to think we haven't pushed the limits down to zero, though. Granted, using smoking as an example is hilarious to me.

It is downright depressing seeing all of the people pile on regarding the food truck. I can almost understand setting a volume limit on it, if there are some that are going overboard. After all, I'll gripe to my kids for yelling whil

I confess complete bewilderment that Print Shop is still around! It is called out for not being on the main list because it is still selling. Holy crap!

by taeric 1y ago
Reminds me of printing cards at home. Reading, I almost skipped over where this referenced Print Shop, as I didn't recognize the name. Their article for that, https://tedium.co/2016/06/02/the-print-shop

I think the point is having to worry about runaway memory or other bitrot inherent in long running services?

It is sorta late to the party. Common Lisp has similar with regards to how lists are done. Specifically, it is not uncommon to make a static list like `'(1 2 3)`. Doing this, however, has implications on what operations you can do o

by taeric 1y ago
Absolutely! I confess I assumed this was explicitly part of how things were taught. With the "projected" attributes in the index being what you would fit on a card. I'm surprised that so many seem to not have any mental mo

Fair. My push was less on just not leaking memory entirely, and more that it can scale faster. Both using a GC and relying on teardown are essentially punting the problem from the specific request handling code onto something else. It wa

I'd push back on some of this. Specifically, the memory management that is somewhat inherent to how a CGI script works is typically easier to manage than longer life cycle things. You just tear down the entire process; instead of hav

I thought the general view was that leaving the CGI model was not necessarily better for most people? In particular, I know I was at a bigger company that tried and failed many times to replace essentially a CGI model with a JVM based solu

I was on a team once that would add server information to ids. Between that and using the version that has a date on it, it made debugging things MUCH easier. Just plug in the id and tooling could easily determine which logs to look into

I confess I got a pretty good laugh out of seeing this on the same day I saw billboards bragging that "not even WhatsApp can read your messages." Oops.
