It was a big source of internal pride when I was at Microsoft. As far as tech companies go, Satya’s version of Microsoft really does give a damn about people, including it’s employees. Great place to work.

Are you up for explaining these gists? We use nix extensively at work and yet I’m having trouble wrapping my head around these. Node dependencies have been a thorn in our nixification of some packages, C / C++ has come easily.

We nixify all in-house development packages at work, it isn’t that bad once you get the hang of it, and comes with an awesome amount of ‘just works’ when integrating packages on custom devices down the road.

Do you employ others within your LLC? If not, how do you drum up clients / contracts? Would it have been possible to drum up some contracts at lower hour amounts while still working full-time?

Which do you prefer? I’ve been rocking the Bose QC35 II’s for years but am wondering if in-ear solutions can compete now for commuting on foot (metro, buses, etc.)

Most HN folks interested in hacking on an AR platform will be happy to know there’s a far more capable open source software and hardware platform:

100 deg FOV, as many functions / connectivity features as a HoloLens 2, now that’s awesome. You can bypass the virtue signaling, limited app ecosystem, and high price tag and build whatever you’d like.

Don’t take it too literally, the point is YTD is still positive and 1YR charts are ridiculously in the green, beyond any bull’s dream not too long ago

This is a beautiful point of view…. Now I’d like to meet some Amish people.

Apple TV doesn’t have speakers. The device sending audio digitally to another device (an actual TV or sound bar in this case) wouldn’t need one, the device driving the speakers would need one.

Not necessarily, but for the best effects yes. You can use head related transfer functions (HRTFs) to simulate spatial audio with just one driver per ear. Granted the effects aren’t as significant as multi-driver setups, I was able to get a convincing spatial audio demo working with in-ear devices for an Audio Tech course project back in school.

It sounds like a genuinely good idea for movies, but only for VR, right? How often do you turn your head while watching a regular movie?

I have heard promising things about fecal matter transplants for situations such as this, hopefully one of those procedures can heal you soon.

While I totally agree, the US in turn enables people like Musk to do… well, whatever it is Elon does…. more readily than other countries. Entrepreneurship is hard and especially so if your system of governance isn’t onboard with it.

Thank you! This was really fascinating.

Learned C in a class as a first year undergrad, it was great!

As for rebates: my point was there was a time and likely will be another where the sticker price drops significantly.

As for maintenance: after having owned and worked on multiple ICE cars and now a model 3, the maintenance is night and day.. way less frequent with a model 3, and way fewer consumable parts.

As for fuel cost: I didn’t realize you were pitching a hybrid Camry, my discussion was comparing to pure ICE vehicles, haven’t looked at hybrid costs. I spend about 1/3rd in fuel costs and drive often so it added up very quickly.

As for depreciation: that appears to be a generic calculator, and you entered something above $40k for a model 3 which is just under $40k rn without rebates, which obviously exist and shouldn’t be ignored. Look around online, it is widely known that certain vehicles hold their value over time better than others, typically Jeep Wranglers, some trucks, popular mod platforms, all teslas that don’t have a salvage title. This is speaking from experience shopping for the aforementioned vehicles and being a car guy. Generic depreciation calculators are useful for tax purposes, not projecting consumer resale value.

Anyways, this doesn’t even take into effect that the m3 is awesome compared to a Prius / Camry. there’s a middle ground between our opinions, but the model 3 is more affordable than people think.

That’s exactly what is being pitched! Sounds pretty great to me. Just move auth upstream, like eduroam/ cellular. Doesn’t preclude people from making their own separate access points, but would make doing so antiquated for most people.

This is the way.

COBRA is what I’ve seen people use when away from work, sometimes benefits continue for a few months.

This is what a lot of folks are missing- real estate investment returns aren’t necessarily higher than other vehicles but the leverage is awesome.

Do you have any tips on vetting property managers, or an appropriate going rate for such work?

Perhaps “arrogance” was a better word for the OP to let you to chew on? Can you vet that definition for us too?

Not at all. The engineering at Tesla makes a civic / Prius look like a child’s toy.. I brought up the tax rebates because ‘cost of ownership’ was the metric discussed, and taxes are certainly involved with that for any EV since the gov incentivized ownership.

The max rebate was ~7k if you lived in California and were on the first wave of federal credits I think? And the difference between a model 3 and a civic / Prius is way more than 7k, although that is subjective. Cost of ownership is objective.

Using a JIRA board, I suppose. Investigating issues would only be one facet of the job, other examples could be building optimizations for the low-level stack, evaluating upcoming releases, etc.

A friend of mine working down at Boca Chica on the starship says elon is there multiple times a week, and heavily involved. It’s well documented that he has been heavily involved at the engineering level in the past so I don’t see why he’d step back now.

Just curious, do you have numbers to support this?

If you purchased a model 3 with both state and federal rebates a year or two ago, in a number of states the short range RWD model was the sticker price of a nice civic. And Biden has frequently floated massive tax breaks for EV purchases to come….

The maintenance is extremely infrequent and cost of travel per mile is cheap for electric, like an order of magnitude cheaper than a typical consumer car, not sure about a Prius.

Depreciation is definitely in teslas favor- the cars hold their value incredibly well compared to most every other vehicle…

Responds to accusations of self-righteousness via a self-righteous pedantic critique. Too bad you can’t use the clown emoji on HN ;)

Love it. Could be fun to toss up a WEP ‘secured’ SSID in an untrusted DMZ VLAN that has doesn’t have filtering. Figuring out how to use the aircrack suite on an ancient thinkpad to bust an SSID was what really got me interested in computers as a kid.

After having been at KSC and working around Muskrats, almost being one of them myself, this is also the impression I took away. Kind of like IB for the tech industry.
