… OK?

Most people would design a very similar app if asked to design a weather app. Due diligence would be looking at existing apps in the space and making a decision on how much you want to deviate from the norm.

I once had to make an EPG for a TV app. EPGs are the channel schedules on any cable box interface.

It was stupidly complicated getting the navigation down solid. Took a long time. My boss asked at the end “this is great. Can we patent anything from it?”

Uh, no. Anyone with the same problem (navigating multiple channel schedules at once via arrow keys) is going to come up with something similar.

Same with weather apps. And Apple even has guidelines on app layouts for scrolling vs drilling down nested pages.

Seems like the AI did exactly what a human would do.

He continued to pay her after he took office. It wasn’t a one time payment, apparently.

The hush money wasn’t illegal. It was the source of the money that was illegal. He illegally paid her with campaign money.

But I believe the concern, and the entire reason prosecutors are allowing the delay, is that all evidence from the time Trump was president has become “privileged” and now may need to be individually approved as admissible.

This evidence was signing hush money checks while he was president, apparently.

This is the key problem that seems to be getting buried everywhere

The big challenge has been that humanitarian convoys have stopped carrying the aid from the pier’s storage area further into Gaza, to get it into civilian hands, because they have come under attack.

If we’re not worrying about the cost of the pier, which I don’t think the Left is at all, then it’s really not about the storms and the maintenance that’s needed to keep it operational.

The problem is Isreal is still functionally blocking the aid from reaching the people.

So why spend so many resources on this pier and put your people at risk, when distribution of the delivered aid is blockaded the same as the land aid.

It’s weird that they don’t really address the biggest reason Googles algorithm is worse now. The rampant exploitation of SEO.

Bad actors abuse the system in an attempt to be the first result, regardless of relevancy. It’s harder for Google to sift the chaff out than it used to be, because they’re flooded with content claiming to be related to the search keys.

The SEC won’t get additional funding, so they’ll necessarily have to let all but the highest priority cases go because they don’t have enough resources to take everything to court.

This is exactly what the Republicans want. It’s exactly what they did to IRS. Create more work for them and starve them at the same time, so that their corporate puppetmasters can get away with whatever they want, and the few times they do get taken to court, they can throw their big team of lawyers at it, drag it out, and make it not worth pursuing.

This is by design. This is their goal. And I’m certain that SCOTUS colluded with the lower courts to deliver this case to them with a bow tie.

Oh don’t worry, they’ll reverse this decision if the Republicans get control again.

Precedent only matters when it affirms their goal. Even if it’s their own precedent, they will find some paper thin excuse to change it.

And yes, I’m aware they’ll need a new case to reach them before they can overturn anything. That’s why the conservative SCOTUS members actively collude with the conservative groups that cherry pick / manufacture cases to take to court and then push up the appeals courts so they eventually reach the SCOTUS.

Yeah, but I don’t think EVs have spark plugs to smash and use to break the windows. Checkmate.

Yeah, that’s fucking stupid, and requires the electronics to not be damaged in whatever emergency situation you’ve found yourself in to require this external battery override solution.

My wife’s EV has a tiny key that comes out of the dongle, and has a tiny hidden keyhole under the handle.

I had to Google to find it, but it’s sufficient if power is out. It’s a mechanical lock mechanism like cars have had for a century. As it should be.

Most expensive early access beta with pre-order ever. Tesla is the EA of cars.

I mean, distributing it isn’t a small feat. Plus you need to manage subscriptions, billings, CMS, a front end to navigate the content, etc.

That’s no small amount of work, even if they used out of the box solutions for many layers.

“But I’m one of the good slave owners! Look how much they like being my slave!”

If a typical storm causes rampant flooding, maybe it would behoove you to invest in infrastructure and tighten building codes.

You know, the job of local government.

Fuck Elon, and to a lesser extend, Tesla and all. But this seems like yet another user error on several accounts. I thought “autopilot” was only supposed to be used on freeways. And obviously assisted by a human who should have seen a fucking parked cop car coming and intercede anyway.

But that said, fuck Elon and his deceptive naming of a fucking primitive tech that’s really only good at staying in a lane at speed under ideal conditions.

Don’t undervalue yourself

I’m gonna reduce that. Shareholders don’t give a shit about working hours. They just care about revenue and expenses.

This is purely a management issue. Upper management might insist on these metrics as a way to crack down on productivity. In my personal experience as a dev, middle management doesn’t give about metrics unless someone (upper management) forces them to. Because at the end of the day, its just a pain in the ass hounding subordinates about trivial shit if theyre actually performing where it matters. So anecdotally, I will say this seems to exclusively come from upper management. But I’m sure people have different experiences.

The problem is that upper management is usually so divorced from the real day to day problems that the easy win they can take to their superiors is stupid shit like apm metrics.

But middle aged dad bods are back in our (relative to category) prime, baby!

I mean, I’d like guns to be inaccessible (legally) to raging alcoholics too. You’re right that a crackhead and alcoholic can both be very destructive. But that doesn’t mean I want crackheads to have guns just because an alcoholic without a felony can own one.
