Wait they actually stopped producing cars for this? I guess nobody was buying them, otherwise that's insane.

Same's scheduled to happen with the Falcon being wound down for Starship.

Also nuts at this point. Though the latter is good for everyone else as it forces development of alternatives.


That's way less nuts. They've proven Starship can get to orbit so it's already viable for payloads. And it has a much larger payload capacity than Falcon 9. They've also recovered a booster. So realistically they can use it in disposable mode now, reusable booster in ~1 year (at which point it is better than Falcon 9) and maybe fully reusable in 5 years.

Compared to humanoid robots where we might be 10-30 years away from having something that works well.


> They've proven Starship can get to orbit so it's already viable for payloads.

That proof is due on Monday. The fact it's the future tense is why this is nuts.

> Compared to humanoid robots where we might be 10-30 years away from having something that works well

Software, I agree. The hardware may very well already be achievable, provided they are remote controlled, which could already be economically useful depending on the price tag.


> Software, I agree. The hardware may very well already be achievable

Yeah of course software. That's the hard part. Look at driverless cars - we've had the hardware for it since the 70s.


I don't understand what you think is so objectionable about that quote. It's one of the least mental things he's said.

You've never made a minor mistake during a presentation? (I await your confident "no".)


I'd say he crossed the line when he openly supported ethnic cleansing via remigration. I.e. deporting legal citizens that aren't the right race. If you don't think that's racist I don't know what it would take...

Before that I'd have said he was on the edge, but now it's pretty clear cut.


Where did he openly support "ethnic cleansing via remigration"?

Googling, I can find this:

https://x.com/dhh/status/1997275678555951451

Which refers to this:

https://www.bt.dk/samfund/brandfarligt-ny-maaling-viser-mass...

Both of these have a different definition of "remigration" than what you are using:

- deporting foreign nationals, not legal citizens

- deporting those foreign nationals if they have been convicted of a crime.

- nothing whatsoever to do with race, everything to do with (a) citizen status and (b) legally proven criminal behavior.

So: what you describe would be racist. What the article talks about that DHH was referring to clearly is not.

And please don't start with "dog whistle".

If you're going to accuse people of things, it does need to be them doing those things, not you interpreting.

If you can present clear evidence of him supporting actual ethnic cleansing, so not something that you somehow interpret as being equivalent, I am with you.


Literally the first result for "DHH remigration"

https://world.hey.com/dhh/three-sacred-cows-that-must-die-so...

> Because the sacred cow here is not just that mass migration must stop going forward. It's also that millions who are already in Europe must go. Remigration has gone from a fringe concept to the mainstream discourse in record time on account of that realization.


Yes, and?

Says nothing about (a) race or (b) citizens.

On the other hand, he specifically writes about "hard problems like cultural integration between wildly different ways of living."

So culture, not race.

So exactly as I wrote: he talks about non-citizens and you turn it into "race".

Who is the racist?


> Remigration is a far-right concept referring to the ethnic cleansing via mass deportation of non-white minority populations, especially immigrants and sometimes including native-born citizens, to their place of racial ancestry.

He is very clearly talking about race.

There's no issue with acknowledging that cultural integration between different races can cause issues, nor is it unreasonable to limit immigration on that basis. It's completely insane to deport people who are now legal residents based on their race.

Obviously he's not going to say "blacks go home". He's too smart for that, come on.


No he's not talking about race.

You are.

And he's not talking about deporting citizens.

You are.


Is it legal citizens that aren't the right race, or is it legal citizens that were previously foreign nationals?

I'm lost... are you trying to argue that it would be ok for naturalized citizens of a country to be forcibly removed from the country where they hold citizenship if that country decides that they're the "wrong" race? On what planet is that ok?

1. Whether that is OK or not is unrelated to the question of whether it is racist to revoke citizenship on non-racial grounds. Which it clearly is not. (The "...the wrong race" is purely you).

2. As far as I can see, the position that DHH referred to did not apply to naturalized citizens, but to foreigners. So non-citizens.

3. As far as I know, most countries currently have laws on the books that can result in citizenship being revoked. As an example, countries that don't allow dual citizenship will take your citizenship away if you become citizen of another country. Germany and many other countries will take your citizenship away if you lied on your application and it only comes out later. Terror and treason are also common reasons.

4. Some counties (India for example) will even take your (naturalized) citizenship away if you are out of country long enough.


I'm not saying it would be okay, I'm just saying it wouldn't be racist.

50% is a pretty damn good response rate! I wouldn't complain about that.

It's not surprising about LinkedIn. They've made applying for jobs too easy so there's too much noise. I wouldn't bother applying for jobs there. LinkedIn is great for recruiters though - just put some effort into your profile, set it to "looking for work", and then reply to interesting recruiter spam. That's how I got my last 3 jobs.


extremely good, my stats have been generally 5-10% response rate for just screenings in the course of over 4 times when i was looking for new roles. each time sent anywhere between 200 - 400 applications. and that's just for calls to get to recruiter or hiring manager

You mean “Open to Work”? If yes, did you turn on the green ring around your profile pic?

Yeah exactly. I don't know what the green ring is so.. no!

I dunno if setting the time counts as fixing...

sure it does. the mechanism was no longer functioning properly. and its a repair even moreso considering the unknown nature of the system.

sometimes you get paid because you know things, sometimes you get paid because you know how to figure things out.


Yeah I repair old cameras these days. The amount of cameras I've fixed by just poking at random stuff until it unjams is surprisingly high. Even more so the number I've "fixed" by just replacing the batteries.

You obviously can't get proof. But there are enough stylistic tells to confidently say that AI was substantially involved in writing this. It's annoying to read. That's enough to dislike AI writing IMO.

I wonder if they'll add a `locate_template_safe()` function to "fix" it. :D

> Adding (or removing) a lane does not even remotely have a direct correlation to maximum traffic flow.

Of course it does. What an obviously stupid thing to say. You think a 4 lane motorway doesn't allow more traffic flow than a single lane country road?


Are they going to fix all the bad defaults in Git 3.0?

For reference, what would you say those bad defaults are? (I would like to know if I should consider changing my configuration)

There is a post[1] on the gitbutler blog where they collect a subset of defaults that allegedly git core developers use. It's where I got most of my config from.

[1] https://blog.gitbutler.com/how-git-core-devs-configure-git


Here are a few:

1. Git push should default to --force-with-lease --force-if-includes.

2. push.autoSetupRemote should be enabled by default.

3. The default conflict style should be zdiff3.

4. diff.submodule should be 'log' by default (gives much nicer submodule diffs).

5. Submodule updates / clones should be recursive by default. (There is a setting for this but I can't remember it.)


Also would be nice:

receive.denyCurrentBranch should be updateInstead by default (or at the very least mentioned in the help message, rather than it recommending ignore or warn or refuse, none of which do what is wanted)


> 3. The default conflict style should be zdiff3.

This one always baffled me. The default conflictstyle is so hard to read it's almost useless. Using diff3 is mandatory.

I hadn't heard of zdiff3, I'll give it a shot.


rerere should be on

Yeah Astra has decompiled binaries for me without even asking. I just asked like "is there a way to do this?" and it went ahead and disassembled it, found some undocumented APIs, figured out how they worked and gave me sample code to call them.

I think you probably just have to frame things right and get it in the mood (i.e. don't ask straight up at the start of the context).
