“You can never go home again.”

Neat, how long till we find out they did something insane like all use the same key or are all running a web server that allows access to the gas and brakes directly without authentication?

Edit: to be clear, no issue with the goal of more electric vehicles. But Kia is having some real deep seated quality issues the last… 13 years according to my insurance agent. They won’t even touch a Kia without factory installed push button ignition since 2011. Then there’s the whole “we’re leaking all your data and access to your car thing”

I live with some ducks. They’re pretty great. They give me eggs now, and poop. So. Much. Poop.

I’ve been writing c my whole career. If you are interested in kernel/driver development or firmware development you’re on the right track. But once you have one language down it’s a lot easier to pick up others.

At the beginning of your career I would worry less about theory and reading specs and worry more about design patterns, understanding computer architecture, and practicing writing code.

Not only does this bullshit backfire spectacularly sometimes resulting in our current political climate. It also results in the “not frothing at the mouth” style of reactionaries to flee to the only other viable alternative, dragging the Overton window further right.

At best this asshole is a moron, accidentally damaging the people he thinks he’s trying to help. At worst this asshole is an asshole who’s fine with dragging the country further into a right-wing shit hole because his team wins now and he gets his treats no matter what.

I didn’t even always add oil afterwards. I just wash it then stick it on the stove on low to dry it while I unload and reload the dishwasher or whatever.

My wife does hate that I’m fine with my cast iron living in the stove though.

I’ve tried it for even some boiler plate code a few times. I’ve had to end up rewriting it every time.

It makes mistakes like Junior engineers, but it doesn’t make them in the same way that junior engineers do, which means that as a senior engineer it takes me significantly more effort to review. It also makes mistakes that humans don’t, which is even weirder to catch in review.

Room for living? Living-Room, you might say?

Man, TomTom had some kickass ones. Vader was on mine for too long.

The American Legal System? Believe it or not, also Hamas.

“Neat.”

Abracadabra… Allakhazam!

This flag has fringe on it, therefore all proceedings are null and void due to the fact that we are on land and not at sea, ipso facto, post mortem, carpe diem, and allahu akhbar.

“Please stop resisting. Kindly stop resisting. Customer, please stop resisting. It will all be over soon.”

Ha! That’s wild. You can literally just buy it at the farm store in town here.

I’m sure it’s far cheaper there too.

When you have separate teams that design everything and never talk to anyone else because “our design is modular and can be used anywhere that fits these x basic requirements” you never have a conversation about the overall product design and usability in context.

It is the result of shitty engineering processes that are optimizing on a small scale. It sacrifices the end product in the name of savings on a single component.

Same brainworms that will cut R&D to post a profit this quarter but completely wiped out long term competitiveness. Pretty much everything terrible about modern life is explained by rampant unregulated capitalism.

That’s certainly… An opinion.

There’s always something at least a little off about anybody who earns a PhD.

I’ve met a lot of them, and some of them are good at hiding it, but it’s always something…

Might be. I remember them being marketed as “no return rentals”

I startled my dogs laughing at that last bit.

Last time I dealt with Matlab much was like fifteen years ago when I was helping some people using it for quick interpretation of data. We just kept finding bugs that caused calculation errors (which they fixed pretty quickly TBF) and it was so much slower than any other general programming language we tried. It could be way better now, I wouldn’t know, I haven’t had call to use it since… A circuit simulation class?

In all reality it’s fine for what it does, just like every other language. It’s another tool in the box that’s most useful for a certain set of problems.

Matlab shouldn’t, in my opinion, be used to construct a GUI, or generally be used for any sort of production code. Perfectly fine as a research tool though.

But I digress, my overall point is a meaningless semantic joke. The only people who will get bent out of shape about splitting hairs between “scripting” and “programming” are all people who belong in this community.
