  • Interns do but should not get the level of write access that makes a durable change impacting all customers. Deadlock a server or even wipe SQL tables, this is an outage. Break a customer’s configuration, send the wrong client’s paperwork, again small scale problem you can deal with. Interns don’t change company policy.

    I think it’s a more foundational architecture question: why do you push builds to all customers at once without gating it by SOMETHING that positively confirms the exact OTA update package has been validated? The absolute simplest thing I can think of is pushing to 1 random car and waiting for the post-install self tests to pass before pushing to everyone else. Maybe there’s actually no release automation?? But then you make it safe a different way. It’s just defensive coding practice, I’m not even a CS degree but learned on the job something always breaks so you generally account for the expectation that everything will fail by making a fail-safe just so the failure is not spectacular. Nothing fancy, just enough mitigation to keep the fuck up from eating into your weekend if it happens on a Friday.



  • I agree porn addiction has been around for a long time, but it’s very different not that we’re reaching a point in time where people who are expected to be adults and functional in their mid 20’s grew up in a world of ubiquitous Internet access and had smart phones.

    So while porn addiction existed since photography, this is the first time we get to see the effect of population-wide unrestricted access to these things from a very young age.

    It’s actually probably better now with parent-child account management and the like, which didn’t exist at all 15-20 years ago. Also 15-20 years ago CSAM, death imagery, real rape and mutilation videos were all on the front pages of openly accessible .com’s anyone could visit.

    TBH I’m totally on a tangent here about Netflix’s writing teams having their own stories in mind and butchering books instead of picking different books to base shows on. In my example the book series was overwhelming from Gerhalt’s POV with arcs that were written from Ciris POV, and a little flash back for background here and there. The Netflix series started true to the books, and the last release had a completely different story and feel with Gerhalt being a supporting character. Wheel of time is a great female led book series (with similar elements) and is a good show so far, my point is Netflix’s writers whose names we don’t know and who are churning out scripts are just are no match for a renowned author’s best known series, and I have zero faith in their ability to transform an existing story into something better. I don’t watch enough Netflix series to give you a statistical analysis, but in the ones I’ve seen they were just throwing tropes in which is not the same as being allies.

    I think people are more annoyed because Netflix’s tendencies lately are more like putting a gay character in a series based on a book where the character was sexually active and definitely straight. I’m really thinking about the last season of Witcher which took this to the extreme, that changed the protagonists and plot of a very good book transforming the series into something quite different only for the sake of fitting a politically desirable mold.







  • Ah yes that’s where their development resources for all the last 5 years went: fucking up the paid experience with minor tweaks and fucking up the free experience with major tweaks.

    I pay for this shit for my whole family and don’t know a service with anywhere near the same library, I’d jump ship in a heartbeat to a service with both a complete music library and a first-class podcast listening experience for web/PC users.
