   You're absolutely right here - DRS is just a little too short to be useful without a massive pace disparity between the two cars (attacking car is on far better tyres, for example). Hamilton has said that the point where turbulence kic

   It might not be trendy like Markdown or YAML (both of which I like, and have their uses), but to markup text with higher-level semantics (i.e. not relating to formatting) the best option is XML.

   If anyone doesn't want to install `npm` and wants to know what client to use, the Haskell/Stack one is nice. It's pretty snappy and has a sane syntax † and data directory (~/.tldr/). † Unlike `tldr.py`, which requir

   Interesting stuff, but is there a more obnoxious way to tell a story than in a twitter thread? I was hoping that Medium was starting to solve this problem, but clearly not everyone has adopted it.

   I hardly think that Mutter is the be-all and end-all of Wayland compositor performance. I could see Ubunu plumbing a re-moulded Mir back into their distribution further down the line (while keeping the rest of the GNOME environment). I&#x27

    Rustup is very useful for managing toolchains. For someone new to Rust, it's probably best to be familiar with it from the outset.

    I hope it picks up momentum among the broader public - while it can feel like the entirity of HN is on Firefox Nightly, there's a much larger leap to be made in overturning the broadly held 'common sense' view that Chrome is

    I'm aware of the difference, I just don't think it matters here - in either case there's an additional level of indirection when compared to Golang fat binaries.

    In fairness, in this instance 'No' is the interesting answer.

    I appreciate the link - I'm teaching myself about parsers right now and like the rest of HN I like Rust programs ;)

    Interesting. I'll try and find some time to read the source - am interested to see how this is implemented.

    Thank you for the actual answer. Funny how some people are so excited to give an RTFM answer that they forget to read the question. E: turns out this is wrong anyway.

    You've just brushed upon one of the biggest debates in modern motorsport. If you are interested in reading further there's many great opinion pieces on both sides of the fence. Here's one interesting piece written recently by

    If your method does not account for racing drivers pushing the limits then it is not accurate.

    My understanding is that GPS is outlawed for safety reasons. I don't understand why other parameters couldn't also be used though - hence why this failure is so baffling. Further Discussion can be found at /r/Formula1 [1

    Presumably large changes in throttle input (such as lifting off considerably as the mapping expected Alonso to do through the Pouhon corner) - as opposed to small variations in input which the driver would use to keep the car stable and und

    I did not create this account as a throwaway. I just don't have the inclination to comment on HN much and was lurking for a long time until recently. As proof I point you to my Reddit account of the same name which has a great deal of

    This is interesting to hear. I thought Zed's book on C programming was reasonably good but I lost an awful lot of respect for him with his strange and nearly incomprehensible tirades against Python 3.

    Me neither - then I googled her and found that she had died just over a week ago (02/07/17). As sad as this is, it seems that she was a remarkably bright woman who lived a long and fruitful life. It's satisfying that in the s
