That isn't a "new" model with all of the uncertainty that goes along with it though. Rav4 and CR-V have established reputations, entrenched supply chains, etc... A better comparison would be brand new models, not…
I guess that is fair, but according to this carsalesbase.com site, it isn't even remotely close. Tesla has built/sold more Model 3s in its first year of production than anything else I can find...by a lot. They…
Which models did you look at? I don't remember a lot of models that are new to the market recently. I checked the Mazda CX-3 and the Nissan Leaf, and the Model 3 does appear to have crushed both of those based on first…
"Zero cost abstraction" is like a sarcastic joke at this point in web development. If you pull up performance comparisons for web backends, a lot of the popular ones based on interpreted languages are absolutely abysmal…
Oh absolutely. I have been noticing this is starting to happen with SSDs as well. A lot of modern games run awful on mechanical drives.
I have thought for awhile, and continue to think, that developers avoid "premature" optimization too fiercely. Yes, there are diminishing returns with optimization effort, but too often people interpret "avoid premature…
This is a really good point, I hadn't thought of this before. Because of how many other options there are, the "scarcity" of Bitcoin is only real if there is something that is going to prevent other cryptocurrencies…
To piggy back on something you said: a big issue I noticed recently is that it seems a lot of the websites people use to track this stuff have charts in <other coin> vs. BTC rather than <other coin> vs. USD (or some…
within roughly 5 years or so (very rough guess on my part), all of the available Bitcoin will have been mined. At that point, the mining part of the equation will be moot, leaving only the blockchain infrastructure to…
The Java performance was the most interesting part of the results for me. I'm glad it got some attention. I have been developing the opinion for awhile that, as an industry, we've become far too avoidant of "pre-mature"…
This is a fair point, but most vocational programs last years not months, so that is where the analogy breaks down here. I think "vocational" code schools offering 2-year degrees would be very, very attractive as an…
Also to be fair, learning how to select elements by CSS class is so trivial that it doesn't effectively separate levels of developers. Whether you choose the basic JavaScript version or one from a popular framework, it…
This is exactly what I was thinking. Put into words that are easier on my brain: If the things taxes are being spent on (social programs, shared services, and shared spaces like parks) are significantly better, one…
I imagine that if the service call to verify mock data fails, it should retroactively invalidate all tests based on that mock data, or at least this should be understood to be the case by the people reviewing test…
I have been cringing every time I see/hear the word "disrupt" (in its various forms) for a couple years now. In pretty much all cases, the more often a given person uses that word, the more vapid I come to think they…
"Except digital signing makes the compromised OS totally and utterly useless for other phones." This carries with it the assumption that the digital signing and verification mechanisms are infallible and impervious to…
> If someone doesn't want to be captured, too bad, they shouldn't be throwing photons at you (read: if they want privacy, they shouldn't be in a public location). That is true when it comes to merely being seen, but not…
Not all technology has an equal ability to displace human workers. I'd argue that the most displacing technology is just now being developed. Sure, some technology has a neutral impact on the job market, but some!=all
Hurray Capitalism?
Then, depending on structure, people could assist on the delayed dependency, or devote time to a lower-priority project until they are able to work on the more important one. If neither of these are possible, then it…
I agree, but what I mean is managers trying to govern how employees work rather than how they are managed. There are cases where these are related, but I think most of the time they are separate.
You should have clear, stated goals for deliverables, each deliverable should have a group of people who is responsible for it. Anyone who is is responsible for any deliverables which are delayed should not be working 5…
I think this is something that varies a lot based on the nature of the work. Creative software development/design/engineering is more taxing in a way that precludes almost anyone from being productive at an 80+…
I don't think the assumption that long hours and little vacation maximize profits should be taken for granted, especially in a longer-term time frame. I've seen quite a lot of information in the past few years that…
The data-driven management you're describing is based on the significant assumption that you are able to gather accurate data, and interpret that data accurately. For example, if you are making a management decision…
