It hit a tree at like 70-80mph - no car is going to have doors that work properly after the entire frame is deformed like that, it’s not about the handles
Yea AirPods transparency is great, but Shockz is another level. It’s even better than the ray bans because other people can’t hear the audio, and way more comfortable than any in-ear ones.
Sadly (or not, depending on your bent, I don't mind it at all), their latest versions feature a back firing driver that pairs with the bone conduction, I assume because that was the only way to get better sound quality. You can, however, still throw it in bone conduction only mode.
Yeah, when I started I actually had no intention of doing a chat app, but it was a good way to learn how it works. Eventual goal with this is a sort of hybrid notes app. Not an llm bolted into Notes, either, but kind of a mix. Find myself using the llm app as a knowledge repo and it’s just not built for that. I’ll post a TestFlight link later if you want to try it out.
The areas with higher rates of left handedness on the map seem to correlate to the more progressive areas where you’d expect parents and teachers to not discourage it. Was kind of surprised they didn’t mention that, given they started with that anecdote.
To the people downvoting labster's comment: He's making a joke about left-handedness being referred to as "sinister" due to the Latin origins (apparently this may originate from how Romans wore their togas). He's not saying that teachers are making children any less evil.
Yeah, if you think about it, this is a "discrimination" deeply enbedded in pretty much every language - or at least languages with European roots, not sure about others: "right" always has positive connotations (being right, human rights, words like "dexterity" etc.) while "left" has negative ones (not as often, but often enough, like the "sinister" mentioned by the other comment).
I often wonder if it would be best for English to lose grammatical gender entirely. Encoding assumptions about gender is leading to endless debates about pronouns which other languages avoid entirely.
it shows a few definitions of "sinister" in Latin that seem contradictory. "left", "perverse/bad", but "auspicious" for Romans, while "inauspicious" for Greeks. And a Proto-Indo-European source which is positive.
The PIE source is positive, because it was applied as a euphemism in Latin to what would have been laevus (cf. Greek λαιός), from the PIE word for "left." The Greeks, too, preferred euphemism to the direct term for "left": the much more common term ἀριστερά ("left") is a constrastive/comparative derived from ἄριστος, "best," so it means the "bester side."
Yeah, the side of the political spectrum associated with the color red in the US (which is actually used for the other side in pretty much all of the rest of the world AFAIK) is usually referred to as "right-wing", so they of course think that nothing having to do with left can be good...
My brother is left-handed, but he was forced to write right-handed at school. He was smacked hard on his hand with a ruler if he was caught using his left hand.
Whether you like Tesla or not: this blog post is a perfect example of how clickbait headlines twist things around. Nobody reads anymore - if you made it down to the nitty gritty of each actual example, it’s painfully obvious that many have almost nothing to do with the self driving software at all, other than how humans can interact with it to screw it all up. There’s:
- A drunk driver doing 100 in a 45 (by pressing down on the pedal) through a yellow light
- A driver who “didn’t see the motorcyclist” because he was looking at his PHONE, but who had the go pedal pressed down at 95-100% for as many as 10 seconds after hitting him, to the point where witnesses say the front wheels were spinning while up in the air
- Others with no detail- not the authors fault but from the ones we have, clearly there are often circumstances which would require more analysis before coming to this conclusion
Agree with others here that you should check out Sales, Sales Eng, or Product roles. You can make quite a bit more money than a lot of engineers if you do well with sales, particularly as someone who deeply understands tech that they're selling.
Military experience could actually be somewhat relevant for sales, and the courageous kind of attitude ("I'll perform well and make it work regardless") is pretty much the main requirement.
Starting in Sales Eng could be a good way to get to know a particular Sales team and get them to know you, quickly see what its really like to be a seller, and then potentially work your way into a Sales role. Constantly being in the room to see how lots of different sellers work is like getting paid to do sales training, if it turns out to be interesting to you.
When it comes to school, even if the tuition is free, you're still investing a lot of time and effort. For someone who already knows how to program and has meaningful real-life people/leadership experience, my suggestion would just be to be realistic about what you want to do, what you really want to get out of school, and whether or not it's really necessary. Don't know about you, but I know people who seem to fall into the trap of making that kind of decision as a punt on making any real decisions.
Being able to show a bachelor's degree is unfortunately still a big deal for a lot of hiring managers, but "going to school" is also not really a binary decision; there are ways to very quickly test out of a ton of classes and get a bachelor's degree from a lesser known school, if the key rationale would be to just stamp your card. Also keep in mind that typically, Sales and Software Eng are two of the best examples of roles where being self-educated/naturally talented makes it very easy for everyone to overlook the lack of a degree... if you turn out to be kind of a natural fit in sales, AND already know how to program... having a degree probably isn't make or break for you. Learning and giving yourself room to explore can be very satisfying in its own way, but that could also just be stuff you get paid to do in a new role.
Happens to me quite often with searching for apps on iOS, it almost seems perfectly timed to switch the icon you’re tapping on right as you’re tapping it
