Developers should prototype software before polishing it. This rule aims to prevent developers from spending too much time for marginal gains.
Not everything needs to be the best, most optimized way to do something.
We're constantly automating away boring tasks at work with Python and they're all 'good enough' to finish and move on to the next problem. We *could* do them in C but it'd be marginally faster with longer development time.
Maybe he was selling old tools that IBM was trying to retire / migrate from.
Based on how many places I've seen it in industry he could have been shilling for IBM ClearCase, or "IBM Jazz" (who the hell came up with that platform name?).
I can see how commission for them easily adds up while being a technical debt burden on everyone.
Or he could have been shilling IBM ClearCase and IBM DOORS / DOORS NG. Based on how terrible it is to use it has to be extremely expensive. Our salesmen pushing IBM Jazz SCM didn't know how to add a file to version control in his demo of IBM Jazz. But my idiot management bought it anyway.
The older the manager the harder it was to convince them that this fancy thing called "Git" was starting to get used everywhere in industry. IBM salesmen would *never* lie to us.
So he could have been 'worst performing' per some new metric on how many new services they were selling and earn the 'biggest bonus' off of some outdated commission structure where pushing a shitty tool onto poor developers./No, not bitter at all.
I went trolling this weekend about immigrants stealing our jobs coming from famine and war. All of the responses, on both sides were yelling and only one person pointed out that I pointed to their native tongues, Irish and German.
I grew up on the internet (we got dialup when I was 15), we were always 'anonymous' as we could be. Mainly making up stupid 15 year old-eqsue usernames.
The problem with a lot of people is that they never update those usernames. I've found the real person connected to a Reddit comment because their username was the same they had attached to Facebook, SoundCloud and a bunch of other sites.
I actually went back to facebook, under 2 pseudonyms completely disconnected from anyone I know because sadly thats where a lot of 'forums' are for stuff like 3D printers and such because it has the lowest cost of entry.
Uber has always been a company that takes shortcuts and ignores rules/laws
Based on the previous articles it sounds like they completely ignored doing MIL/SIL/HIL testing. Every issue they had should have been caught by ISO26262 requirements and traceability.
I grew up on TNG and DS9 because it was about the 'future'. Both series had a good balance of soap opera in space and technobable. TNG brought us the Borg. Voyager the Delta quadrant. DS9 the changlings and the wormhole. And then they went and started redoing established history. Stop overwriting canon so that we can see "Kirk" on screen.
I want to see what happens after DS9. Something set as far ahead of DS9 as TNG was ahead of TOS.
Get some tech consultants and map out some future tech. Get out beyond the quadrants of the Milky Way. Make up some new aliens, in the future. It makes no sense to say "eh, in the past we had these aliens but they somehow don't exist anymore by time TOS, TNG, DS9 and VOY do".
There's so much existing IP that there should be no shortage of material. Borg, Cardassians or Changlings part of the Federation? Federation disbanded? Mirror universe travel 'normal' as interstellar travel? (Without being Sliders).
Time it right and you can still do cameos like Scotty in TNG (even if you screw up the episode so much that you have them beaming through a shield). The DS9, TNG and VOY crews should still be mostly alive, especially Data and the Doctor.
At this point they're just going to set a series in 2028 and call it 'ultrapre-history Federation'.
The technology is there. Tesla rushed to market to be 'first'. I went to school with grad students that did 'driver assist' for companies like VW and Benz. They had better technology in 2012 than Tesla has now.
The thing is the German companies are very conservative. The TUV has strict standards.
The Germans knew ISO26262 was coming and have prepared. American companies are running saying the sky is falling because, like usual, they waited until the last minute. That's at 'conservative' American companies. I can't imagine the shitshow firestorm that is Tesla Engineering.
I'm really curious, if there are any Tesla or ex-Tesla engineers out there:
What are they using for requirements Management? IBM DOORS, DOORS NG, Other?
What are they using for calibration Management? AVL CRETA, Vector vCDM, Other?
What compiler for their ECM are they using? GHS, diab, gcc, llvm?
What architecture are your ECMs? ARM, PPC, Renesas, Infineon?
If it's PPC, what logo is on the chip? Motorola, Freescale, NXP, ST?
What ASIL level does the TUV consider "Auto Pilot"

No jails?
C++, compiled Perl.
Having an actual Model M is pointless unless you want to feel superior to other mechanical keyboardists.
My keyboard is a ~$40 no-name with 'blue' keys. It works just fine. It has a white backlight for dungeon coding sessions.
Excellent job taking averages and making it look like it will work.
Well, that means for half of the population it will.
Some people still own horses for recreation, sport, etc. No one took away all the horses. But for the average population the car worked better.
I can't speak for anyone else but my last remote position was at $65/hr.

Read my username.
Read the username of the person you're confusing me for.
Compare.
It's like with Slashdot. You can 'earn' credibility by actually posting good content.
Uniden's downfall was that he cheated the system to get himself started.
AWildSketchAppears, shittymorph, are all novelty accounts that became Reddit popular without being tied to a real human.
In a lot of subreddits there are 'credible' users like /r/askhistorians or /r/askscience.
But if you're expecting someone famous to show up to /r/pics to refute something as himself, don't count on it.
The art of trolling is lost.

I honestly couldn't tell you any password I have or have had ever.
My first passwords were muscle memory. It was a pattern I learned on the keyboard.
Now I use a one way hash to generate a custom password per username/site.
sha256(password+0100010001010011+slashdot.org) = AA9BA292D020183DCAAB6FD6F546FD56EED5E46F686DE29C58EE819DCADC197E
Good luck getting me to remember that or transcribe it correct over the phone.
Multiple. TTS & STT can be run entirely locally.

How in the world did this make it to production without SIL/MIL/HIL testing?
dSpace sells HIL benches specifically to test ADAS

CAN is a lot more robust and tolerant of noise. It also allows longer cable runs. IIRC SPI is meant for short distance only.
Breaking it into a lot of tiny different services with one purpose. There's way too much overlap in between parts of some branches right now.
Privatize it. Like everything else. If it's good for telecommunications, water, and other services then it's just fine for the military.
I completely forgot this happened and moved on in today's news cycle.
Until they pulled this. Man are they stupid.
Companies are so desperate for workers they're paying people through training.

How many cases go undiagnosed because of the difficulty in just seeing a doctor?
A cell phone picture of any problem areas twice a week should give the CNN more than enough data.
And this is why healthcare in the US is so expensive.
Who cares? I want an accurate fast cheap diagnosis. Not a happy ending massage.
censorship isn't the answer.
Valve should just rebrand it to 'America Simulator'. Make the health packs DLCs and add more bibles.
