Except the analogue to your ISP for your example is UPS and they are far less (if at all?) responsible for the content of packages they deliver.

Wait for the other person to do so willingly seems kinda good advice in many areas.
Yeah, I see a bleak future ahead. Guess that's life, after all.
Or just a system prompt "log where all the info comes from"...
The baker case I think was about the cake, thus having to produce "reprehensible" art. Editorial work (steam selecting what games to promote) is Sth I strongly think is their right to choose. But having a transaction run through your network? That's on the other side of the spectrum, way closer to the "no gay customer" situation. If they'd at least pretend it's because of, idk, higher card fraud rates...

After it commited some unrelated files and telling it to fix it.
Am enough of a dev to look up some dangling heads, thankfully
The real enemy is QA. Don't want it misbehaving during a virtual test flight.
I have a few colleagues who like the way they work and would prefer everything to stay the way it is. Such "skilled artisans" might be on the way out, replaced by "Ai factory" mass production.
Sure, they could just be kicked out and replaced. But they worked with the company, in some case for a decade plus. Giving them a fair picture of what seems to be down the road is the very least I'd expect of a company treating it's workers as more than just replaceable cogwheels.
Back then, for those interested: the monitor file sharing networks, download a tiny bit of data from you (uploading is the expensive part in Germany) to prove you upload, go to a judge who will force you ISP to give them the contact, send you an Abmahnung, requesting an Unterlassungserklärung and cash (500 damages, 500 lawyer cost). We just sent a modified "we are not doing damages" letter and ignored any future communication from them. There was more to scare us, but they did not follow through with a lawsuit. Oh and ofc I made sure that no further upload could be detected. Yes there were rulings back then holding the connection-owner legally responsible
a) The drive to change has to come from inside. I've seen quite a few people being sent to the online/gaming addiction group. Usually, they only come once.
b) Changing one self is hard generally. But here we got quite a bit of... idk, lets call it "damage". So many missing skills, confidence. So many bad, deeply ingrained habits. So many thoughts to avoid & distract from. And still no idea what will make me content.
c) I'm wondering quite often if not starting that journey would have been the better choice. If i could have found a way to stay happy. One motivator for me was the disdain for what i'd become, so no way back now. Now it'd be great to only disdain that past me ...
Yes, and that has to be safely possible. From my reading, the article has no problems with remote operators giving command. The truck just also needs the ability to both safely execute them and come to some safe state by itself if necessary commands don't arrive [in time].
The interesting question is how complicated those safe states are to realize. Just hitting the breaks on a freeway seems hardly acceptable. Generally, this being harder than for cars in cities is a core conclusion of the article.
More like not necessary anymore, since birthrates tend do decline by themself in more afluent countries, once sex is decoupled from reproduction and children are not the primary retirement plan anymore. "Helping poor countries" is just easier to sell than "We must make them stop having babies".
But yeah, quite a lot of hype and red flags. My favorite from the website: "Rama is programmed entirely with a Java API – no custom languages or DSLs." And when you look at the example BankTransferModule.java: > .ifTrue("isSuccess", Block.localTransform("$$funds", Path.key("toUserId").nullToVal(0).term(Ops.PLUS, "*amt")))
Yeah, it's probably fair to call that a DSL, even if entirly java.
Anyway, hope to get the chance to work with event based systems one day and who knows, maybe it will be Rama.
But how can those stores effectively compete while being controlled by the same entity? The EU breaking up Apple into separate companies for each "store" because of this argument would be pretty funny, though.
Disagree. Well, maybe still acceptable if the software is small / limited to a single paper. Having worked on a code base the people writing it learned programming on that job, guessing their intention is like archeology. And each iteration tended to add some complicated interdependence. Or like when int errorCode came from other, overlapping error ranges.
A part of the "new" code base is exactly as described by TFA. Including most interfaces having only one implementation. But while annoying, I am more able to work on it without things breaking...
Those common charger EU rules pushing USB-C via the Radio Equipment Directive are actually only for the device, and even a specific list of types. But in briefing document [2] (made for RED change last year) mentions:
> a separate initiative on the eco-design for the external power supply (EPS) would harmonise the EPS-side receptacle and the communication protocol.
So "EPS" is what we are looking for and they use some eco laws to regulate them. [1] gives an overview and links COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2019/1782. And again, it only applies to a specific set of devices, with power tools not being listed. Doubt those fall under "Other toys, leisure and sports equipment"^^
Back to that EPS initiative... from my understanding, it [3] seems to be still "Planned for Third quarter 2023". Feedback period ended in May 2022, ofc.
The department seems to have vacant spot [4] for an expert, btw :)

Btw Spotify, if you want me to "agree" to your price hike, asking over and over again with the same threat of probably downgrade me to the free version is just stupid. I might simply resubscribe then. Or just try some different service that shows me some respect, instead of attempting to get a miss-click out of me.
Probably a good idea anyway, both to get out of my current bubble but also see what value/$ competitors offer.

Obviously there are many unknowns in factors like hardware reliability or fuel consumption.
