I just jumped on the .NET Core gravy train after 6+ years of Ruby on Rails development. I feel so productive and confident working with .NET. Ill be riding this rollercoaster with you for a while!
Honestly -- I think you will be disappointed. The market wrecked everyone who was trying to buy. I live in a town of 70k and I got priced out of my own neighborhood -- and I make good money. Just because it is a small town, doesn't mean you are going to get bottom of the barrel prices. For example, a 3000sqft home in my area goes for $515k and you have to bring extra money to closing to be even competitive. The areas with smaller homes are _less_ than desirable to be in so don't think you will be getting a good deal there because you are just as likely to get robbed in your front yard.
I haven't really fully thought it out. But you could maybe use the microphone to detect crying (if the baby is conscious). There is an internal camera that might help as well to detect movement but may be a bit more difficult with rear facing car seats. I wonder if the weight sensor that triggers the seat belt warnings is sensitive enough to detect a baseline weight of the car seat and the weight of a child.
I wish Tesla would have focused more on using the CV technology to strengthen its collision avoidance and safety systems which is lacking. There was a lot of emphasis on marketing the FSD but I think FSD would have been a byproduct of a robust and reliable collision avoidance system. I don't care about FSD -- I care about getting my family to where we are going safely! Tesla should warn me if I am about to run a stop light or stop sign. It would also be nice to have an infant protection system that detects children locked in vehicles and takes action to protect them from overheating -- which seems plausible based on the hardware inside my 2021 Model Y.
My heart goes out to you and your family. If you aren’t already participating in cognitive behavioral therapy on a weekly basis then I would start there. You can’t be effective in fighting this if you can’t even take care of yourself. I understand and respect your cynicism but I highly doubt the goal of this company is to kill more children and you need to accept the fact that this was a human error made by one man. Is the company’s response shitty? Absolutely. No amount of money will bring your child back and you will have to carry this pain for the rest of your life. However, the pain is not insurmountable and can be curtailed through therapy which will make you better equipped to handle it. You have to lead by example and pick yourself up and get through this for you, your spouse and any other family members who were impacted by this.
Unnecessary tech in kitchen appliances. Ovens, dishwashers and washer/dryers. I spend most of my time battling the user interface or dealing with obscure bugs.
I am sorry but this is incredibly misleading. Just because there are a few cosmetic issues in manufacturing doesn't mean it is not a reliable vehicle. I own two, Model Y and Model 3, and they are the best and most reliable vehicles I have ever owned.
This is likely misleading because most school shooting statistics include shootings that are school adjacent and not the tragic story from situations like sandy hook or colombine .
When you reach the top of the App Store you develop a new set of problems. One of those problems is copy cat developers who basically just copy app ideas in the hopes of stealing some of your users. It started with my users reporting about bugs that didn’t make any sense with odd screenshots and non-existent features. I look into it and the fake version of my app with almost an identical app icon, app name and with my name as the author. Apple was basically useless when trying to help me resolve this issue as it was a violation of my trademark. The only thing Apple can do is put you in contact with the email addresses registered to the other developers account. One day, my wife received a threatening phone call. How they got my wife’s number I have no clue. The other person on the phone call said I stole their Minecraft skin app. I told them it wasn’t me and that the same people stole my app, my name and about 30 other apps including theirs. Well these other developers didn’t believe me so they copied my app and tried to steal my users. How do I know this? Well they setup a new LLC to steal my app idea. I wouldn’t have found this out if they had not forgotten to change the name of the business in the privacy policy they copied from their original business name they contacted me at. Their new business that stole my app had some guy who pretended to be a lawyer but when I googled his name and saw his LinkedIn account he also worked at the original company that contacted my wife. That’s the short of it. Basically I caught them red handed, presented all my evidence to Apple and they were handled and pulled down the copy of my app. All the while, the people that stole both of our apps operated unhindered. Apple did nothing with that particular case that I could remember. I wish I was making this all up but it pushed me into some deep suicidal ideation because at the time I was dealing with PTSD from military service and my father passing away. 2017 was rough.
Agreed. I built an app that was in the Top 5 to Top 10 paid business apps on the Apple App Store for about a year. It causes so much drama with copy cat developers from the the south east pacific. I had people steal my name on the App Store and other victims of these copy cats start to turn on each other because they all think they are stealing ideas from one another. It is absolutely bonkers.
This is great. I definitely consider myself a solopreneur and hope to get back to being self-employed. The burnout after my first one took years to recover from… I probably wouldn’t have burned out if it was a web project instead of an iOS project
I am a man and I haven’t seen anything like this in my workplace but I can say I have been sexual harassed by several women at two of my old jobs. So statistically, if men are less likely to be targeted then it must be happening. So even though I haven’t seen it outside my own experience, it’s scary to think how much of it is likely happening behind the scenes. I say this as a father of two daughters and husband to a woman who was physically assaulted by her former boss.
The problem is the militarization of the American police force. I have been on countless raids in both Iraq and Afghanistan and very rarely did we ever do “no-knock” type raids. Most of the time we just surround the compound, throw a banger in the front lawn and ask for the occupants to exit the building. Most of the time they did. So if “no-knock” raids weren’t the status quo in a war zone than it shouldn’t be the standard in American suburbs. This isn’t Fallujah…
Yeah you would have to if you want to keep Windows on both machines. Just because someone buys a new laptop doesn’t make the old one obsolete. I usually just give my old laptops away for free to those in need of it.
> The broader question is, how can a company expect to retain employees/contractors if the only work available is the same tedium over a long period of time, and no way to change that?
A job is a means to an end -- nothing more. If you are one of the lucky few that truly enjoy their 9-5 then count your blessings. For the rest of us, we cannot rely on our career to live a fulfilling life. Depression and mental health are not to be taken lightly and often lead to declining work performance. Accept that a job is just that -- a job. Encourage your colleagues who may be down in the dumps to stimulate their spirits outside of work and hopefully the rest will follow.
