dewski··on MacBook Pro with i9 chip is throttled due to thermal issues, claims YouTuber
The Executive team had nothing to do with the Memoji’s. It was probably someone from marketing or their web team. Why even bring that up? It doesn’t help your argument at all.
dewski··on Stripe Home
I'm not sure why my advice should be ignored. I run an on-call rotation at GitHub and could definitely be a customer. One of their examples regards Splunk and PagerDuty, both of which we utilize and know the learning curve is up there anything to reduce the time needed to respond to an incident would be great.

At first glance you could make a case this may be a product from Stripe. When I am evaluating a product and it doesn't showcase a lot of creativity I have a hard time taking it serious or recommending it to colleagues. I'd also imagine most of the audience they are marketing to _has_ heard of Stripe.

For more constructive criticism, the landing page is full of skeleton UI and it's hard to imagine what I will get out of the integrations. I realize it's a mockup, but I'd imagine you already know what would be in those boxes. Instead of the 3 gray boxes, show me as a user what I will see. Is it a summary of the integration? Is it an individual issue or pull request? Is it the most recent activity for that integration?

I'm also not a huge fan of the letter spacing site wide, I think removing it looks like an immediate vast improvement when removed.

dewski··on Stripe Home
Your homepage and app design looks very inspired by Stripe. If I was to evaluate your product, my initial reaction wouldn't be great. I think coming up with unique creative would do your product wonders.

Wish you the best of luck in your product!

dewski··on Tesla issues strongest statement yet blaming driver for deadly crash
Sure they do, it isn’t enabled 100% of the time. It only enables it when it has the confidence it can perform its task. There are plenty of times where it wouldn’t be available to me for various reasons, either road conditions or weather conditions.
dewski··on Tesla issues strongest statement yet blaming driver for deadly crash
I think it’s a fine example when applied to 7 different times. That’s past a reasonable amount of times to place your trust in a system at that point. You’re just self inflicting pain if you do the same thing over and over again and expect different results.
dewski··on Tesla issues strongest statement yet blaming driver for deadly crash
Nowhere do I say there is no problem so I’m not sure why you’re quoting that. I acknowledge there may be a problem since he shouldn’t have been using autopilot on that known problematic strip of road.
dewski··on Tesla issues strongest statement yet blaming driver for deadly crash
Nobody was forcing him to use the feature if he knew it wasn’t working as intended on that particular stretch of road. My issue with your statements are you’re shifting 110% of the blame to Tesla when that isn’t remotely the case.
dewski··on Tesla issues strongest statement yet blaming driver for deadly crash
Based on his complaints I don’t see how we can infer it gave him added security which would warrant continued use. If I knew a tool I used around the house wasn’t working completely as advertised I wouldn’t continue using the feature that wasn’t working for me.

As a beta user of bank software where clicking transfer money ended up sending twice as much, wouldn’t it be my fault if I did it 7 more times when I acknowledged its behavior even if it wasn’t as advertised?

I realize my examples are hard to compare to this specific situation, but the software is opt in and is littered with disclaimers because it’s not a level 3+ autonomous vehicle.

dewski··on Tesla issues strongest statement yet blaming driver for deadly crash
You can't just blanket say everything is irrelevant because it doesn't fit your narrative. If he reported the system wasn't working, why would he continue using it especially in a known problematic area?
dewski··on Tesla’s Musk Takes Charge of Model 3 Production as Problems Persist
Why aren't you convinced they ever plan to sell a base model? They've been very clear when in their production schedule they would ship the base model. It makes sense to get the production nailed down with all possible options then scale back for basic models then to start basic and go through production pains making more complex models.
dewski··on Tesla’s Musk Takes Charge of Model 3 Production as Problems Persist
This article feels a bit over reaching to meet the current narrative that Tesla is failing. As someone who has owned a Tesla, I'd much rather they ramp when they are ready to ramp than skip steps just to hit their targets. QA is a very important step that they have to get right.
dewski··on Reddit 1.0 source code
You may find varying answers depending on who you're asking and if they have any experience with Lisp.

As someone who doesn't, the HTML example is 100% easier to read in my opinion coming from a Rails developer. You don't have to go against the grain to get the output you desire, you can just write it as it is intended to be rendered.

dewski··on Ask HN: Not feeling it from the CEO. What can I do? (equity split)
I've never heard of a CTO having more equity than the CEO. Do you think you're being slightly unreasonable in your expectations? 50/50 feels quite generous after they raised the round of funding.
dewski··on Elon Musk: SpaceX and Tesla almost went bankrupt in 2008
There isn't a lot of substance in the article to back up the clickbait title. A lot of the concern about Tesla and Space X were from quotes referencing the state of the companies almost 10 years ago.
dewski··on Amazon will launch its own delivery service to compete with FedEx, UPS
When I see a delivery coming from Amazon I know I won’t get it until 5-6PM or even later. UPS or FedEx have found a way to get it here by 10AM.

It often results in delivery delays as well, FedEx and UPS deliveries for Amazon orders are rarely late.

Maybe it’s due to more drivers and trucks, but so far I’m not a fan of Amazons delivery and would pay more not to use it.

dewski··on SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy successfully launches
You have to send something to test the feasibility of reaching Mars.
dewski··on Allstate uses social media to check claims
I would hate to have to go through the effort to try and sue my insurance company to get this information.
dewski··on Dear Apple, please fix notifications
This article feels more like an ad for where the author works.
dewski··on Show HN: A New, Clean Geolocation API
I live in a well known city of almost 300k people and it can't locate my city and the lat/lon is the center of the US.
dewski··on How I recovered cryptocurrency from a broken laptop
I’m on 2 weeks waiting for Coinbase to unlock my account, no response yet. My Authy was on an iPhone 7, and when I upgraded to the iPhone X I didn’t think much about it, but “multiple devices” was disabled so I couldn’t retrieve my account anymore.
dewski··on The purpose of Tesla is not to make money
Tesla didn't contract them to make TesLab.

> HFC co-founders Ben Schippers and Will Schenk are both Tesla owners and wanted to levelup their driving experience, pushing the limits of the data being collected to help solve typical ownership problems that Tesla itself had not yet addressed and add a bit of fun.

Where is your source?

dewski··on An ex-trucker has some questions about the Tesla Semi
You don’t think Tesla evaluated LIDAR at all? I’m sure they did preliminary tests to confirm or deny what they could and couldn’t do with it.

Considering every car produced by Tesla in the last two years has Autopilot, I think their pipeline is pretty great at gathering data for every car and performing tests against the data they gather.

dewski··on Show HN: Dffer – Get notified when a website changes
I built exactly this once, was fun to set and forget and look back on it in a few months. It calculated the diff and you could see obvious spikes when big changes were rolled out. You saw a lot of big spikes on say Apple.com when new products were announced or marketed, whereas Reddit.com was always changing and couldn't detect any meaningful patterns.

It also had ffmpeg in the backend that would create a timelapse for you on demand. I built it when we rolled out our some rebranding/homepage changes on GitHub.com and nobody really knew off the top of our heads when exactly the last time we updated it was. Git only tracked code changes, no visual changes.

It was originally built on top of http://www.paulhammond.org/webkit2png/

dewski··on SpaceX successfully launches and recovers second Falcon 9 in 48 hours
As someone who read the book, do you know which parts he refuted?
dewski··on Tesla Autopilot
That isn't present tense, by saying "All Tesla vehicles produced in our factory" means today and going forward.
dewski··on GitHub announcements: Marketplace, Apps and GraphQL API
We've been developing on GraphQL internally for the past year, releasing our public preview on September 14th of last year: https://githubengineering.com/the-github-graphql-api/

All new features at GitHub are now developed with GraphQL first which means integrators will have access to the same API that we built the feature on once it ships.

If you want to learn more, one of our engineers just spoke at GraphQL Europe yesterday detailing our experiences with GraphQL thus far, here are his slides: https://speakerdeck.com/bswinnerton/launching-githubs-public...

dewski··on Amazon guts affiliate program, cuts fees for electronics in half
I was accepted and was selling for 3-4 weeks, up to $400 in fees then randomly they shut down the account without a concrete reason. Said I violated terms but have been silent in trying to communicate so I can resolve any issues. :(
dewski··on Tesla Software Update 8.0
Ah that makes sense, I thought he meant for a Tesla.
