They are designed in Sweden but Polestar (along with Volvo) is now owned by Geeley, a Chinese company.
Yes — the Wikipedia article that I linked says so as well. But Polestar is headquartered in Sweden, and the cars are designed by Swedes in Sweden. It’s a Swedish brand.

You can buy a Polestar I think.
Polestar is Swedish. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polestar

The work days are long and the macOS versions are short.
Is it just me or does Snow Leopard feel like 4-5 years ago? I've been using macOS since the original X (10.0.0) was released. This is what getting old (40) feels like... Paired with a pandemic, Catalina feels like yesterday.

Cheetah 10.0 2001
It’s not just you — something happened with me where I mentally checked out from the MacOS train after Lion. The versions from Mavericks and up are “those newfangled versions with their silly names”. And Mavericks is 10 years old! Maybe it was the RDF wearing off.
leaky abstractions and all aside, the coroutine code is unreadable to me after clean looking commands. :|
yes, new Java(new Java(1), new ...) is bad, and asynchronous programming paradigms are usually fitting for robotics, but abstractions are good.
Coroutines are an abstraction though.
Something that coroutines made a big impact on for us was testing. Multi-step integration tests became a breeze. With state machines, each test would need its own FSM, and callbacks would make the flow hard to read.

> "managers" have been the least important part of any team, and had the least impact on success or failure
I'd disagree...I think it can be difficult to see what the manager brings in when a team is good and runs well enough. It's a lot more obvious when you get a bad manager: the team stagnates, loses focus, valuable members will quit (there's the saying "employees don't quit their jobs, they quit their bosses"), recruiting also becomes harder.
There's too much to discuss in one comment, but managers that don't seem to be doing much while the team members are killing it are a precious breed and worth their weight in gold. An alternative way to look at it: they don't need to brag about being important, and have at least enough grasp of what their team does to not be standing in the way.
Great teams self-manage. Managers and management generally exist to ensure a baseline, but they can’t really do much more. In a strong team, everyone displays leadership properties, and they typically don’t listen to non-technical management.
