Elon?

Buy all your engineers an arduino kit with sensors and blinkylights and motors.

I would love this.

I mean, it's basically what my job is (write code to make hw do blinky stuff - gross simplification, but yeah...) anyway, but I would find getting that to be really cool. Of course, my SO would just see it as yet more HW taking up residence here (I'm remote and my company sends me all sorts of HW that I need).

Maybe that depends on if the rightful owner deducted the stolen items from their taxes.

Why does anyone think it's OK to pay less on money you made with money you have?

The venn diagram of people who make the rules overlaps with those who benefit.

"As the company grew, the founders wanted everyone to experience different parts of the product so we could get closer to all our audiences and understand how the product works," a DoorDash spokesperson said

Does that mean delivery persons get to be an engineer or a CEO for a day?

This is not a good thing. I have an old phone I put my sim in when I go fishing, boating, beach, etc.

Apple keeps making it very difficult for me to want to keep purchasing their products.

"Sorry Fred, you meet, even exceed, all of our expectations for the position, however you prefer to stay too long, so fuck right off."

Seriously? This is absurd.

Look at nearly every 12v car or boat battery. You don't see those being replaced every 3-5 years.

Yes, yes you do. All the time.

Home Depot can rent you a truck for 4 hours with a CC, DL and a handshake. In/out in less than 10 min.

Renting a car can be this easy. It just isn't.

Or it might just be some nerdy tech that a very small percent of people in the tech community feel the need to try and convince others that it is the future. It is not.

And no, seeing clearly is not a value. It is a necessity.

Value? No, they're a medical device that I have to wear.

No. I'm not going to put one of those on my fucking head just to use a computer. I'm NOT. I already dislike wearing glasses (and contacts, etc).

To think people are going to do this in mass, it's just stupid thinking.

Edit: Okay drive-by downvoter(s), I get it, The above didn't "add" anything to the discussion. But you know what, this has been discussed and THE MASSES AREN'T GOING TO WEAR THAT SHIT.

Is there a shortage of polyglots?

Yeah, you have the average programmer who spends so much time worrying about what FE framework to use, then you have the programmers at the level of the two you mention who just put out so many working projects. All the cargo culting most devs do is just waste.

Of course, but I am positive plenty of "look at me" types will drive around with it[0]. And I'm sure you know that, too.

[0] If possible. I don't see where they explicitly say you can't.

How can I get banned? This sounds great!

Is this legal? Seems a great way to distract other drivers.

Nobody is making $300k as a junior engineer. And certainly not getting promoted to senior engineer within a year on top of that. Stop talking out of your ass.

>Well I do know someone who pulls that as a junior but he also has a PhD in inverse kinematics simulation and that job was really needed.

This is the problem with using words like nobody, always, etc. Someone will usually (see what I did there?) come along with one single piece of anecdata and think the original statement is invalid.

Yup. This looks awful — and is error prone and slow and probably wins some kind of award for being unPythonic — but it works. And I wrote it and I can read it. We can improve tomorrow.

That's the key takeaway. Write it once to get it working and understand how to solve the problem, then write it better.

"Hence plan to throw one away; you will, anyhow." - Fred Brooks

I get a Magic Leap One vibe from this company. Promises, promises, promises, then reality doesn't quite meet expectations.

My SO and I are pretty frugal. We both are "jeans and t-shirts" kind of people. I bulk buy t-shirts so they're like $3US each, for example. I do have a polo or two for occasions. We are both senior eng and we live on less than one income. We give away most of the other income because that brings us joy. Our home is paid for (as are our vehicles, etc - we are completely debt free), but we continue to pay a mortgage, car payment, etc. to ourselves so that we are constantly saving for the next one. This helps keep our spending in check because every single dollar has a job. We don't want for anything really because "stuff" just weighs us down; it's a burden. That being said, we aren't extreme. We both love to read, so we never deny ourselves the books we want to read. We love traveling, so we don't deny ourselves that either. But what we don't do is buy a Porsche because Ted down the road bought one. If that's how he wants to spend his money, that's his business, but we don't desire those things.

Does OTA not work where you're at?

I dislike the notch as much as the next guy, but they started with a 16:10 display and actually ADDED pixels on top around the camera. In this case, you're not losing ANY pixels due to the notch. Videos should play just fine given that most are 16:9 or wider.

personal

Uh, hell no. You should have business accounts.

Personal and business never mix.

As someone who does OK, but lives in reality (not the bay area), I feel a revolution coming.

I keep telling people something has to give soon. The pressures at the fault line are rising.

I kind of hate looking at Go code containing generics.

Pretty much any mainstream language that supports generics is shit to read. (And I love to read code.)

True. But I meant it more in the context of the discussion. Her implication is that she wishes to continue trading stocks instead of parking her money someplace safe while in office. Why? What is the point? Does she not have enough? Is it sport? I'm not saying people should not get wealthy, but she could park it and easily still get $10M a year.

I mean she's worth over $100 million...

I don't get it. Is it just sport at this point?

Wouldn't this mean that it is NOT a free market? If she is somehow privy to information that I'm not and laws don't seem to be able to touch politicians, then I just don't see how this can be a free market.

I am willing to bet part of the issue is the targeting for this app.

Then why can't Apple just fucking say that? Why all the stupid drama?
