I use grocy for chore /task management. Then home assistant to put it on a dashboard that looks nice. I’m not totally happy but it is the best I’ve found.

It is the ecconomy, stupid. I realize junior engineers have never before had a recession affect them so this seems new and eifferent to them. However as a senior I’ve seen several and every single time there are articles about how this time is difierent and the jobs are never coming back. I also know it sucks to be someone who is affected, but in a few years this will be a memory.

not that ai changes nothing, but thingsialways change. The world recovers and moves on.

You can appeal - but appeals are rarely agreed to. An appeal isn’t about the facts in most cases - it is about was the law correctly applied and if so is the law constitutional.

I’m working on a button to push when we feed the cats per my wife’s request. It doesn’t do anything when push because she can’t figure out why she wants the button

That is a question I’n trying to answer. Until I know what ai can do I can’t have a valid opinion.

That can help - but ai reviews still miss a lot of bad code. Still a first pass - if the ai finds something it is rarely wrong - so fix things the ai finds before you bother others, or justify why the ai is wrong. But if all you do is an ai review of ai code you get garbage

I’m writing code because it is often faster than explaining to the ai how to do it. I’m spending this month seeing what ai can do - it ranges from saving me a lot of tedious effort to making a large mess to clean up

I’ve been writting a lot of code with ai - for every half hour the ai needs to write the code I need a full week to revise it into good code. If you don’t do that hard work the ai is going to overwhelm the reviewers with garbage

I find ai can turn out code fast - but then I spend a week or more turning it into good code and so the time saved isn’t near as much. I’d be embarressd to call it my own and as a professional can’t allow garbage-

Wood breathes. You will need something watertight lining the inside. Paint is not enough. 8mm plastic is my first thought - but many plastics also allow moisture through and I’m not sure what is safe. An epoxy finish on the inside might work. But getting a continious layer could be a pain.

I can do anything in any Turing complete language. However some languages provide some nice syntax advantages, or are less error prone. If you are need to do OOP C++ is a better choice than C because the syntax is much better than the mess needed in C. (D or Ada come to mind as better choices than C++ - you might have your own opinion)

I’m blind without my glasses. I’ve thought about surgery but I’m wear ansi safety glasses anyway - I know what it is like to go to the bathroom without my glasses - that is okay in the middle of the night - but I have no interest in my whole life being like that so I’m protecting my eyes as best I can.

You are not wrong - but the point is there is value here, are just not getting it to the right people.

All spying needs to be owned by the person who owns the car. GM or however might have data, but it needs to not be accessible by them except by my agreement. Do I want my dealer to know when I need an oil change - maybe (depends on if I trust my dealer), or maybe I want my independent mechanic to know this, or maybe I change my own oil and want only me to know.

There are useful things about internet connections and phone home. Maybe not for you, but for many.

For company vehicles when the car is due for an oil change the mechanics should be informed not the driver. Likewise the company should be able to track where their cars are and when they are driving (and restrict them from driving outside of their territory). For things like snow plows the company needs to track where they have plowed already.

When it is cold it is nice to tell the car to start warming up 5 minutes before you get into it. For electric cars that are currently plugged in this is important as it lets you spend grid energy to warm up the car instead of range.

It is also useful to have up to date maps on the car - there are things a built in system can do that android auto / apple carplay cannot do. Though you have to drive a lot for this to be worth it. (My car as GM’s onstar and no android auto - I don’t pay for it, but I could see in a 10 minute test drive how onstar is better if you are driving the car for hours every day - since I mostly work from home or bike it isn’t worth it, but I can see how it is better despite not being better)

But there needs to be a non-charge option for things like remote start.

Arms and legs allowed in are still really bad. You can’t run fast in snow, and you are more likely to trip.

In some cases. However most often when there is a stack trace it is because something I didn’t expect happened - I can’t tell you how we got there or how to correct it because if I knew I would have just had the code do that in the first place. If the error is something the user did though I’d expect a clean error message.

What broke? If it was a GNU ism that wouldn’t work on *BSD either, than it is your own stupid fault. There are other linux distros that also don’t use the gnu core utils that would break things do.

Note that those are minimums. The pilots I know try to be well above the minimums as a personal rule. Landing without fuel is something they practice in the simulator, not something they ever want to try in real world conditions.

Unions work depending on how ‘in it together’ you feel.

If you resent the people standing around doing nothing they start to fail. If you resent the people who do worse work than you for the same pay they start to fail. note that on an assembly line the above isn’t possible in the first place - which is why they work great there. (Bus drivers and police are also not really measureable like that)
