how is that any different from geofencing. The goal of an AV should be a car that can drive in any country/road. Not just fancy smart roads in western countries

Model 3 is still the best electric car for most people. Its just too expensive now but so are others. No one else has a battery thats as efficient, the charging network, convenience features like key card, integrated navigation (although CarPlay/Android Auto are good too), the handling is much sportier, they hold their resale value, and no dealerships.

Tesla is so overvalued only because of their claims of self driving. Musk utters a lot of bs but he's right that without this Tesla is doomed.

They have a big head start, but other car companies are now investing much more in battery tech etc and will quickly catch up. Not to mention Tesla's have terrible build quality, they have a lot of shady business practices like overcounting sales, reusing sold parts etc which came out in the recent leak.

Thing like the 4860 battery which were so hyped turn out to be not that much better. FSD is years away. Stop selling vaporware.

What they need to focus on is things they innovated on like OTA updates, integrated systems, no dealerships etc.

Is fish usable for a web/nodejs developer working with the usual libs in the JS ecosystem such as React/Webpack as well as usual github projects?

By that I mean any scripts included in these projects. I have seen only a few scripts though.

I've gone down the rabbit hole with zshrc/bashrc customization, there are endless options and gists and pages and its a never ending rabbit hole.

In the end I realized a well configured toolkit is enough for 99.99% of people, and there are an endless number of those as well. I use zsh-quickstart-kit which is updated often and has good speed and amazing features. You get all the fish features AFAIK and more with no risk of scripts breaking and it was a 1min install.

For non devs who don't need to script I'd recommend fish and there are distros that default to it now.

Ive worshiped at the altar style over substance and looks over usability at all cost.

The fact that Apple basically threw out all his 'innovations' for the new Macs speaks volumes.

One of the most over rated, over hyped and of course over paid tech person ever.

I moved from C# to the NodeJs/JS/React world a while ago, when React was fairly new as well.

I like JS as a language and the enormous progress thats been made in the JS ecosystem from the wild west days back then. But I have to say my most productive and enjoyable dev experience was with VS, C#, ReSharper etc.

Magical intellisense and real refactoring across millions of LOCs and multiple assemblies, all kinds of tools, visual designers, powerful 3rd party toolkits (anyone remember Infragistics), amazing docs. And of course now it'd be much better I'm sure.

they are meaningless to oem's and manufacturers as well since they cant buy an M1 and build a system around it.

are you trying to troll?

Thinkpads are notoriously well made. 'shitty plastic' is ultra durable. Macs are great if you are ok being locked into the Apple ecosystem

Have you used Atom, Sublime etc? VS Code is far better than them, and its an actual IDE. I don't know how much you work in JS but VSC is the defacto choice for everyone and has a million extensions while still being fast. If you don't work in that area then its understandable but you really shouldn't comment on it in that case. Its not competing with VS for instance.

Microsoft buying Github was the best thing that could've happened to Github/open source in general.

Screw the people who still spread MS FUD. I cannot think of any other company, certainly not FB/Goog (Amzn has nothing in this space and no interest outside paid AWS services) that would've done anything close to what MS have done.

Everything is better, tons of things are now free, integration has improved, there's full transparency. It helps that MS's own tools like VSCode, VS online etc are best in class by some margin and used by everyone.

there is ZERO benefit to users of soldering an SSD or any other part. Its done purely for profit.

Stop conflating the issue with backups, the 2 have nothing to do with each other. Even if you take regular backups you can and will lose critical data when any $5 part on your $3-4k machine goes bad.

Amazing how far people will go to defend Apple.

this is like telling someone that if they lose their keys, or if a light bulb inside their house goes bad, they will lose their house and all their possessions, and then say 'you should insure everything you own'.

Its a ridiculous decision by Apple made purely for profit

the motivation for soldered everything is profit margins and the ripoff prices for upgrades.

Not security. There is no additional security here

why? its the exact same cpu arch they've had since M1 was announced. Things are better but not 100% and there's no reason to assume they will magically get fixed

strange definition of crazy cheap. esp since we dont know how well it compares yet

one more thing ... https://store.apple.com/xc/product/MM6F3AM/A

why are the new models fatter, wider and heavier than the old ones?

https://support.apple.com/kb/SP809?locale=en_US https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-14-and-16/specs/

shouldn't it be the other way around with the integrated chips, thinner screen etc etc?

touchbar was actually nice

Am I the only one who like the TouchBar? It was fast, useful and configurable and I rarely use Fn keys anyway, nothing in MacOS uses them.

also people's badges stopped working and they were unable to get physical access to sites.

how are they 'interjecting' themselves? They run a massively popular dns service as well as many other sites, and they are simply reporting on what happened and why people who use their dns etc might have had outages. In addition to being a very detailed and well written article on the whole incident. Not really sure what you are driving at.

I miss BYTE. Growing up in a country where we didn't have much resources and certainly no money to actually own a computer, but the school library did have a subscription to a few mags. BYTE was amazing.

Is there any mirror? I'd rather not put more strain on his server. And are there archives of other mags like Dr.Dobbs?

The US will never have a high speed train, or any mass transit. This country is run by corps and nothing that helps people will get approved. Whatever rail corridors exist are being cut and the big corps are trying to get rich off of the next big thing - EV regulations.

Is anyone surprised? Apple is one of the most vengeful and anti-competition companies ever and their goal is to lock consumers into their ecosystem and rip them off, and god help any company that tries to get in the way.

They are a bully and can act this way because Epic to them is meaningless. Theres only a handful of companies who can actually threaten Apple with their same medicine at this point, and unfortunately this means consumers suffer.

I'd love to use WSL2 but the longstanding issue with slow I/O between WSL <-> NTFS host is a dealbreaker. It basically means you have to keep all your data inside ext4 in Linux and that defeats the whole point - e.g. you can't keep your code, or files you download etc in Windows.

With WSL you can keep all data in NTFS, have near native speeds but you can't run a bunch of Linux cmdline tools.

I don't know if they can solve it, its basically sending data across the network, But this is the last barrier to a great Linux on Windows.

I didn't mean to imply you can learn it in a few days, but you can certainly learn the basic design principles and overall approach, and its pretty consistent across all the k8s products.

But you are posing a similar false dichotomy. k8s isn't some massive intractable beast that needs an army of consultants to run and maintain. It can run small loads just fine as well.

Anyone can leann k8s basic principles in a day or 2. And managing a cluster is arguably easier than managing a typical bunch of EX2 instances+ALB etc that almost everyone uses.

k8s also has the advantage of ubiquity. If I had to manage a bunch of containers on a cluster with > 10 nodes, I'd pick k8s over swarm/nomad etc.

Your argument is 'k8s isn't a good choice for anyone except Google-scale' and I don't think thats true at all.

IMO the complexity of k8s tends to be overstated. Of course its a vast and complex system, but its also incredibly well documented and based on simple design principles. The reason people have such a hard time with it is -

- deploying k8s on bare metal is not easy. It was never really designed for this and to be fair Google has a vested interest in making you use GCP. EKS is nothing more than cobbled together scripts and you still need to do a lot of manual work

- k8s introduces a ton of terminology and new concepts (pods/service/deployment/ingress) not to mention the whole host of addons built on top like Istio.

It shouldn't take any decent dev more than a couple days to install minikube/k3s or use a cloud provider, play around and get comfortable with k8s.

may be OT, but how do you subscribe to these trade feeds, is there a unified service or do you need to do it individually for each source, and how much does it cost approximately ?

I'm guessing if you put all this data into Kinesis or message queues it would end up costing quite a bit more.
