Yes. The biggest benefit is very low ground footprint and highly predictable traffic flow. A few articles discuss it as a reasonable form of mass transit. http://urbanland.uli.org/infrastructure-transit/public-trans...

One thing to note about your third pro (removing boilerplate type safety) is that if other code outside your TypeScript ecosystem starts calling your code, the lack of checks could hurt them.

They probably wrote it at work or on a company machine or discussed it on company time, all of which can make it company property. (Read up on moonlighting.)

Fair point. I wanted to clarify the difference since "built on Atom" has a different meaning to me than "using the GitHub Electron shell". The first sounds like an extension to Atom and the second sounds like a whole new

I didn't see a mention of Musk's tweet, which labeled the YouTube video as "slow motion". That will make a difference (though likely just a scalar?) in the calculations.

I'm not familiar with the ASM.js spec[0] to know how hard it would be, but I am curious to know if there would be a perf improvement if you could get it to run in that mode. Nice write-up! [0] http://asmjs.org/spec&#x2F

They're small but if you took Amazon's warehouse layout and Kiva robots, you'd get an incredible storage density. Coupled with lockers, pre-stocked with Amazon's top products, and staffed by one or two people, you'd

Fascinating report! Are there any indicators that can reliably indicate usage of a CSS preprocessor? If so, what preprocessors are used and which ones? (Could property ordering, presence of hacks/comments, misspellings, prefixes, or so

I can't believe they weren't already reporting that. If I was an advertiser, I'd want to know how many people were skipping my ad and their demographics so I could stop targeting that segment -- or change my ads to reach that

Great example is to look at Microsoft.com and see a bunch of tiny "MS" prefixed libraries that probably only exist on their web properties.

I assume to get the accuracy down. Once they prove they can hit that target reliably, they'll be trusted to try over land (where missing can have much bigger consequences).

I run two 1080p monitors in portrait on my desk at work. It's unreal how many interfaces assume you're widescreen: images are cut off abruptly after they scale to the width of the screen, horizontal scrollbars appear as default wi

I'm not sure the folks in Visual Studio are representative of all of MS though. Being a business unit where our customers are developers, the PMs have to also be developers. I'd be surprised to find PMs in WP or Xbox writing as mu

I have it but on Windows with no scaling. I paid around $500. 39" is a bit large for a single monitor, in my opinion, since looking towards the corners or edges becomes such a long look. 30hz for the 4K is annoying but livable.

(FYI, the scale used in parent's is 1 is best, 11 is worst. Confused me for a bit.) [Edit - Ignore me. I guess you can't recall rejected candidates.] In your final example though, because you had now interviewed all the candidates

This looks like a way to beta test the drivers with enthusiasts who would likely have an Xbox One controller already. People who don't have one yet likely wouldn't go buy one to try early drivers, so it seems reasonable to reach o
