do it in exchange of a share of the profit. nothing turns people off like sharing.

what’s really federation on a system that isolates conversations per server? can you reply to a message from one server on another? maybe the main thing would be single account, because even friend lists from multiple accounts could be merged

I think you’re overestimating how much services care about retro-compatibility of clients. Try opening a YouTube video in the iPhone 6 app, you can’t, and not because the video is now incompatible, it’s because the old app has not been updated, and YouTube changed their API, so even if the software doesn’t change, services are not being provided to it. Same will happen to the Tesla app, Navigation, Netflix, everything that relies in external services to work. Sure, the car features will probably still work, but in the case of navigation, for example, even if it uses an offline database of maps and it calculates routes directly on the car’s hardware, new versions of the maps will not be available, or, routes might not be able to be calculated.

I wonder if in the future, installing your own software in the car will become illegal: given that car software can even control transmission, a car manufacturer could argue that it could compromise safety of the vehicle and pedestrians, an unsafe car framework could mean that someone can potentially program the car to accelerate when frontal sensors detect someone, to be a bit extreme, but don’t tell me its impossible.

I agree with every advice given here, I’d just add that you need to be proactive: in some interviews you’ll be given a very lax list of requirements and that means that your capacity for risk assessment is being tested, you need to ask questions so that those very lax requirements slowly become very specific requirements. Risk assessment also play a part when you’re determining scaling, security, and deployment concerns, and you win a lot of points by at least mention them, that’s what is expected of you as an engineer with experience. Maybe you’re interviewing for a junior position and the interviewer will say “don’t worry about that for now”, but what if he’s expecting you to worry and you didn’t?

are you saying that there’s no organized crime in Brazil?

(technically not a planet but) I’m putting my money on Europa, we just have to wait until JUICE does its flyby on '31-'34 and we get to lick those plumes

I foresee a future where a suit like this holds any ground, and we end up with a DRM’d web and a non-DRM web, and all the blogs and news sites go to the DRM’d portion because they’re guaranteed that their ads will show. oh god we’re going back to Tor.

genuinely in the same boat, my phone has been in vibrate since '05

Debian on the servers, Diet-Pi on the SBC’s, all containerized.

Edward Scissorhands.

Don’t know why. And I didn’t even see it for that long, but something about the makeup, music, general ambiance, the scene when he’s offered normal hands, it affected my child self profoundly. To this day, I can’t watch the movie without feeling very anxious. My partner has tried to watch it with me a couple of times and I just can’t.

In Chile there’s this 2000’s telenovela called “Romané” about a group of gypsies that arrive to a town in northern Chile. I personally don’t understand the fascination, but the show took over the collective minds of the population, I guess it was the abundance of quotable moments and the very distinctive speaking patterns of the characters and their personalities, they were memes before we knew what a meme was. You can quote any character in the show and everyone will know what you’re talking about, even young people.

They’re still rerunning the show every couple of years or so, 25 years later, I’m not aware of any other show here that has resonated so much.

Chilean here, we have two classics:

1. Completo (as in “complete”, also known as Dinámico for “dynamic”): Diced tomato, sauerkraut, mashed avocado, chilean american sauce (finely chopped pickled white onions, carrots and pickles) and mayo.
2. Italiano (“italian”): Diced tomato, mashed avocado and mayo.

I’d normally go for the latter and save the former for special occasions.

I think they also want the curated way that apple let’s an application into the app store.

the play store is kinda not very restrictive…

no la dirijo pero siempre son bienvenidos a crear sus comunidades regionales en feddit.cl

True Blood, season 2 IIRC?

I used Skype a lot to call landlines from outside the US, but now I need a replacement, do any of you have recommendations? I’m testing Rebtel, but it isn’t cutting it for me, it connects like 1 out of 5 times.

it’s Cmd+Backspace, and moves the file to the trashcan, it doesn’t delete it

the problem I have worth my robo vacuum is hair, I live with a long haired human and a long haired cat, so the vacuum needs constant maintenance. I normally resort to a broom…

there’s a not so small possibility that development of meat growing tech and patent expression will give us a niche market of not-available-before-for-ethical-reasons meats, like white rhinoceros burgers, cat and dog steaks, human fillets.
