> Many new cars have speed limit sign recognition built in and they will display the current limit on the dashboard

Tesla Model 3 has this feature and, while autopilot is engaged, will decrease the speed of the car when the speed limit decreases.

This response echoes my sentiment. I've been coding for 20+ years and have found that literally writing the code becomes a smaller and smaller portion of my day-to-day as my career moves forward. The solution design, guidance for less-experienced team members, pull-request reviews, solution design with customers/partners, etc. becomes a larger portion of my daily responsibilities.

> When people hear autopilot, they think...

Sounds like a problem with people.

It doesn't matter where you live or where the company is based... afaik, the determining factor is where the company stores data. In other words, if they have servers in the EU, they are bound by GDPR.

iirc the last time i used a switch was to create a static factory method to instantiate objects. the static class had a static method that took an enum as input. the return type was an abstract base class. the method switched off of the enum, new'd up the type - did some common initialization - and returned the new object to the caller. this approach keeps your "creation" logic in one place.

I disagree. The attacks are becoming more sophisticated and fool the most seasoned techies. Additionally, when I ask "Baby boomers" if they understand phishing, they oftentimes say yes but then have trouble explaining what it is or how it is executed.

I don't think this is an innovation but more of an evolution of an already existing process.

>> ”The Walmart app was built to make shopping faster and easier,”

I have to get wallet from pocket, open it, take out card and swipe - 4 actions.

OR

I have to take phone from pocket, unlock it by tapping the screen 6 times (dont mess up), opening the app(, maybe navigating to the scanner), then scanning - 4+ actions.

That is neither faster nor, in my opinion, easier.

Where's the benefit for me (as a consumer) with these electronic payment systems?
