That is a really cool solution. Thanks for the explanation! I took a much more... um... naive path lol.

That’s not the same. Beeper mini uses reverse engineering, beeper just uses Mac minis sitting in a datacenter somewhere.

Not really a thing. Google is trying to make it seem like there is, but I’ve never met a single person that has ever cared.

Ruby

My goodness I struggled today. https://github.com/snowe2010/advent-of-code/blob/master/ruby_aoc/2023/day03/day03.rb

This seems good all around.

Anything you use on your computer to help you complete a job. Docker, ripgrep, IntelliJ, graalvm, javac, cargo, Zulip, etc. Thinking that tools are just contained to be what comes bundled with your os is a weird take to me.

Someone or a company engaged in the software development process is a software developer. If the software development process includes these things then those taking part in the development process are called developers. The next line marks the confusion you see with the term developers.

This is just absolutely false, and I'm sorry, I just don't want to continue to argue this. Good luck.

Many other studies have said the opposite of what CR says, so not sure it's worth what it looks like. They're also considering non-dangerous recalls as a failure, for example the slow acceleration in eco mode on the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (which I considered a fantastic feature) would be a "problem" under the consumer reports methodology.

Tesla was considered absolute bottom of the pack in a Which? report https://www.autonoid.com/which-ev-owners-survey-ranks-tesla-bottom-for-reliability/ and https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-least-reliable-ev-brand-uk-survey-2022-3, with 2/5ths of Teslas having major problems and 1 in 20 failing to start! How in the world did CR get the complete opposite data and actually recommend a car that could fail to start.

Clearly there's something wrong with how all of these reliability surveys are occurring, if they're getting completely opposite data.

tesla 3rd from bottom in reliability while Kia and Hyundai are at the top

What is very clear from looking at all these surveys is that American brands are absolutely terrible for reliability. Every single one of the surveys ranks American cars far below European or Asian cars, with many incredibly dangerous recalls for things like failure to start, losing power while driving, airbags failing to deploy or deploying at the wrong time (like when a child is in the seat), loose subframe bolts, and tesla has had so many that it's not even worth sourcing them at this point. just go look up all the dangerous tesla recalls.

My wife works on reservations. I haven't heard of any of the tribes she works with being fine with being called Native American. They have their own government organization called the Bureau of Indian Affairs, it seems pretty clear that they prefer that term.

You misread that.

is a person or company engaged in a software development process, including research, design, programming, testing, and other facets of creating computer software

does not mean software testers are developers, it means that software development includes testing, and a person that does software development might be involved in all of the above.

Notice how the next sentence includes no such title that would be confused with a person that isn't writing code.

Other job titles for people with similar meanings include programmer, software analyst, or software engineer.

It’s a many cultures thing. My point was it’s an earth religions thing, not a dnd religions thing

doesn’t really meet their last requirement
