More water plz.

I switched this year to working at a company who uses typescript for backend systems after working as a python dev for 3 years.

It’s not that I hate it, it’s just that TS/JS does not give you anything in terms of built-ins. This testing suite is so fragmented, it’s this ugly thing that I dread working with.

Anyone have advice for repos I can use that have rich testing frameworks? Or books? I’d love to learn to love TS, but it’s not there yet.

I’m down!

Ya System of a Down, and turn it up to 11. Get some c4 pre-workout too.

LIGHT WEIGHT BABY.

We like mushies

Why? MPB works fine for the game. Why waste money?

I’ve been playing COD Warzone on my 2018 MPB 15”, I kept getting stuck at 17-30 FPS, so I slapped a big ol fan on the back of the computer to help circulate the air around it, and on the back cover. Solid 60 FPS now.

Should be sufficient for a while, thermal throttling is a real thing.

We use `pyenv` in order to manage python installations (it helps when you want to test different versions manually installing and managing can be done too but is a pain)

We force the use of `virtualenv` so that within our project we can nuke and rebuild the installed dependencies quickly.

There are multiple requirements.txt files, the first one that used for installation installs the pined version of `pip`, and `setuptools`.

After that additional dependencies are installed (separate file).

One of the senior engineers I used to work with wanted me to checkout `pip compile`. It looks useful.

they just wanted to give us a friendly reminder, its all good :)

Skating hills is tough. The last time I skated SF we went from Colma all the way down into Market then up to the POFA. Great times, def exhausting… hats off to the kids keeping that dream alive.

Why is there such a large difference in salary? Is it exclusive to software?

This work from office thing is really killing travel times in the Bay Area. 237/880 is almost back to pre-pandemic levels, the HOV lanes are making the problems worse.

No radar cruise control, it’s a carburetor, personally I don’t like driving behind people, their not paying attention to the road conditions.

Buck-twenty in a 70s Japanese tin can for me baby.

I was under the assumption that HOV lanes cannot be crossed over (double or single white lines) while carpools are dotted and are open to traffic flowing in and out.

Of course you can only use it as an overtake lane in none-carpool hours, but now that’s not even an option.

I hit a dresser in that lane doing about 90 mph, my buddy said it turned into dust.

Man I really hate the new HOV lanes, there are too many negligent drivers that drive below the speed limit, at least with a carpool lane you could overtake.

It’s simple, “I drink your milkshake, I drink it up.”

This is dope, nice work Kyra!

A Honda Legend has level 3 autonomous driving in Japan I wonder what their setup looks like. Every car that I've been into looking to scrape the controllers and motors out of uses a singular EPAS ECU, but none of them provide any level of automation.

What level of system redundancy do they offer on brakes?

If the electronic power assist steering controller fails during use, the rack falls back to manual mode where the steering is heavy. I wonder if they were collecting data on how many units fell back to the backup unit, and decided it was enough to either not use it, or pay the warranty costs for fixing them. There's really nothing in the EPAS system that can wear out, maybe the motor itself...

FSD is trash, all these Teslas on the road braking to a stop for no reason, driving slow in the fast lane >:( Cut them off the computer wont care.

Oh dude the old Frys electronics in Fremont California had some on display they would randomly discharge when you were browsing around the store it was awesome.

To add on this, consider unis your timezone, i know we are hiring as long as you're in PST, but we have engineers that have moved to CO and down south in the the LA metro. We just hired a gal over in Seattle to do Data Engineering work for us, but we are located outside the SFBay.

If you don't need a large boat of money passed your way, consider working as a staff engineer at a local university, they have less stringent screening on whom to hire, you can find senior engineers that have worked in the private sector for years that have a good information base to tap into, and the work life balance is better.

Look at research institutes/universities in the area, for me that was; UCSC, UCB, Lawrence Berkeley Labs, Stanford...

i want to try the 400z.

I grafted an electric power steering unit into my 240z. It was well worth it, the low speed maneuverability is way easier. I just need to figure out a way to use a speed sensor that will reduce the assist input at speeds higher than 10mph, this should give me the regular rack feeling back in the car.

It feel sketch to drive with a steering column that you put together yourself lmao.

I recall reading somewhere that some animals get fixated on the lights before they get hit. Perhaps flickering the lights at high speed can get their brains to not zero in on the lights and get out of the way.

SFW was truly dedicated to motor sports. There is a nice documentary ‘Williams’ if you’re interested in f1.

It’s the right thing to do from a service prospective, the last design had it built into the top case. I’m sure they hit supply issues with all the keyboard failures on the old model. Are the speakers in the old model removable? If not more topcase constraints ha.

They could build a Bart extension from union city to East Palo Alto. There’s already a track.
