Sending telemetry _poorly_ can get expensive. A good client can aggregate, even compress locally, and publish telemetry in batches. Let's not rule out telemetry entirely because of bad implementations.

I'd say the moral of the story here is that Microsoft and HP just write shitty software.

Ideally some of that data can be aggregated and acted upon locally to the car computer, so that once an arbitrary car manufacturer closes shop, you can still retain the value provided by that telemetry.

Sending it off to their servers and having them manually call you up is nice, but I'd hate for that to suddenly go away because of some business that is outside of your control as a consumer.

I disagree that telemetry is inherently bad. As product engineers, telemetry is often our only visibility into whether or not a system is functioning healthily. How else can you detect difficult-to-spot bugs in production?

Probably the latter. I can't imagine why they'd willingly advertise people not being interested.

Python is pretty great for rapidly putting together prototypes. You ever give that a shot?

I find it... funny that a core reason they're citing as a reason Intel is better than M1 is that "it can play a bigger library of games".

Great, you made an x86 chip, that's not inherently a reason that your chip is better. Once most software is written for ARM then you will fall by the wayside.

I don't see why you'd keep 3.5 around

They signed deals with Postmates and Caviar and now they can't ship features that will render those businesses irrelevant.

Good riddance! The fact that we're still supporting Python 2 at all in 2021 is madness.

I think shutting down the internet and kicking violent insurrectionists off of a social media platform are two different issues. Twitter is not the internet.

You're either being willfully ignorant, or arguing in bad faith.

Calling for your people to all organize outside of the capitol building, claiming that the election was fraudulent without providing evidence, and then telling the active terrorists "we love you" should be sufficient evidence for you.

Why isn't there an Amazon but with local fulfillment? Local merchants can flag that they're selling certain items on said marketplace, but to users they're transparently browsing a single cohesive marketplace a la Amazon.

I think that a fully localized Amazon would keep much of the convenience that customers love, but would remove the capitalist bottleneck in Seattle.

What company would simply hire you freelance once you're already full time? It sounds like a bizarre notion to me but admittedly I'm relatively green (6 years in industry) and have only worked a handful of gigs.

Why do you use two? I'm a noob.

Precisely this. You're not locked into a platform on PC / MacOS. On consoles you are. On Apple phones you are.

I wonder what could have caused such a behavior? What were this person's motives?

I used to have 2 male dogs that would go to town on each other, so dogs definitely can be homosexual, but it's probably just pansexuality more than homosexuality.

I think they'd care about sales rather than their stock price. The stock price will bounce back, and with the game being on sale, I'd imagine many players will just hold off until patches come through. They probably made more money launching as is than they would have if they had just waited.

I do enjoy the new Jira UI a lot more than the old one, but yes it is definitely slower and is missing some key features (hotkeys for editing specific ticket fields please!).

Things have been improved with the recent addition of pinned ticket fields, but they still have a long way to go.

For those too lazy to read the article, it's 91% faster in 2020 as compared to 2019.

What would you be writing software for if it wasn't a production service?

Except for Overwatch, RIP. Also Diablo 3 has always run terribly on MacOS. Pretty much only WoW runs decently. Maybe Starcraft 2 used to be okay but it since became way worse.

It's a start, but I still won't be able to eat a "meal" there due to their usage of beef fat in their french fries.

Winter in SF can be pretty rough, but if they throw in some heat lamps or something, I may be okay with it post-pandemic.

You could have spent the 2 minutes to google this https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge

(it works on macOS)

Facebook is not your average workplace. If your platform is profiting off of active political misinformation, you have an obligation to not only discuss these issues, but solve them. If you determine that you can't solve them, it's time to stop accepting the money.

Hey, have you ever heard of cookies?

Seriously. My partners school was saying they will open this week (on top of COVID, of all things) if the AQI is not in the red. The sensor they're using is indoor. This website is actively doing harm with these configurations, granted, so is the school administration.

COVID is bringing out the worst in all parts of our society. It has been such a stressful time, and I am someone who has some financial security. I can't imagine how tough things are on the average American right now.

Stay strong everybody. We will make it out of this.

What did people in wheelchairs do before these rideshare apps were around?

People like you are what keep me coming back to sites like this. Thank you for actually reading the paper and discussing reality with us.
