Patch-perfect commits are an idealistic goal. The truth is that, as already mentioned, many of those typos and “dirty” commits can be the source of bugs that you’re looking for. Hiding them hides the history.
Memory use. Even though threads / processes are “cheap” right now, it wasn’t the case in the past and they are still quite far from the couple-of-kbs per connection needed in async servers. You’re not getting a million paralel processes processing requests any time soon.
Having commits that do not build represents the history more accurately. It could very well be a “fix” to some build error that silently introduces an issue, that context is lost when you squash.
Could you please? I barely read the article. My opinion is based on a strong dislike for this kind of remote kill switch. I made my argument several times but you simply ignore it, and go on to repeat why you think it’s fine and everybody would be fine with it if only this evil article hadn’t been published!
There is zero service being provided. It increases the cost and complexity of the device for the lender’s own and sole benefit. Who the fuck wants to pause their airbag subscription? I really can’t understand how you can see this as customer friendly, unless you work for them.
And that’s ok. You can take it or leave it, but don’t try to disqualify me because “I’ve been manipulated”. That’s incredibly dishonest and of course will be taken personally. I suggest you learn to disagree without resorting to personal attacks.
Why is it more lenient than other financing plans? That makes no sense. This could literally be a traditional lease with no cloud syncing bs involved, at a cheaper cost.
You’re accusing me of being manipulated but I have no horse in this race. You think this is a sexy idea for risk management in lending, I just find the idea abhorrent, that’s all. You’re falling into the modern polarization trap, we just don’t seem to share the same values re. privacy & property rights.
Not looking forward to the day my car airbag stops functioning because a collection agency is after me, or I’ve been targeted by the government, or they just decide to refuse service because I said something awful on Twitter. That’s our dystopian reality right now.
> ensure the buyer that accidental injury/death is not possible unless they’re not paying
Exactly. You don’t seem to get it.
Is there a service being provided via this remote functionality? No. It’s only purpose is to “ensure” people are paying. It’s purely an insurance mechanism for their financing.
The fact it has done before doesn’t make it good, or change the argument. You may think nothing of it, but most people don’t want this kind of invasive tracking and do find it dystopian. This specific case is much worse - in the worst interpretation possible, the threat of death or injury (deactivating the airbag) is being used as a motivator to lower default rates.
Financing is dealt with by a bank, the seller is fully paid and has no business messing with your property afterwards. It’s a better model for all parties involved, unless you think saving a few % is worth having your personal items tracked by the manufacturer forever. I don’t.
> Like millions and millions of people, I have a mortgage and a car payment and a credit card
That’s not the strange part. Volkswagen cannot deactivate your car if you stop paying - it’s the banks problem. Same with your house. There are legal mechanisms to kick you out or recover property, but none of them involve a subscription and remote deactivation. Imagine your front door stops opening if you miss a payment.
If it was financing, lack of payment would just use collections like every other financial product. It’s a solved problem, your problem is with the bank and not the product manufacturer. They are acting like a lender and insurer (for themselves) at the same time.
It’a a strange pay-for-non-existent-service scheme designed to artificially reduce MSRP, while using fear to reduce their risk. On a personal safety device. It’s disgusting.
I think you missed the main part: the dataset is not in memory. This is not SQLite-in-the-browser but using a virtual file system over HTTP. Neither of those alternatives do anything similar.
Strongly recommend reading the book - they had tons of accountability as critical projects were handed to them on tight deadlines. Yes, working on cool stuff, but delivering at an extremely high level.
All of them, the hassle is just going to an authorized service provider. Most of the time the entire device is replaced but do you care? The end result is even better.
I don’t see when you’d need to understand what an EndpointSlice is, unless running k8s itself. The concept does not leak through any of the pod management interfaces.
