   I was at KubeCon, and had a similar experience. Lots of engineers excites about all the technical possibilities, and less discussion of developer productivity. It reminds me a little of in the 00's everyone thought their company should

   I did some chess boxing once as part of a stag (batchelor?) party for a fellow jiu-jitsuka. It was great fun, and folks take it seriously. We were embarrassingly bad at chess by comparison (and pretty ropey at the boxing too).

   The author addresses this very point, highlighting that the chart is simplified from a more detailed work.

   I hope everyone is safe. Please, America: sort it out. Politics aside, it hurts to see this stuff happening again and again so needlessly.

    > Tesla's autopilot is only something like single camera image recognition It absolutely is. Even the AP 2.0/2.5 hardware only uses one camera at the moment.

    > Tesla should have detailed maps of this big roads Their imminent software update adds exactly that. They took their navigation data in house because the atuff they used before wasn't detailed enough.

    I'm danged if I'd let it get so close to disaster if I was recreating this. One tug of the steering wheel in the wrong direction is enough for me to assert myself and get the car to cancel Autopilot.

    Autopilot is following the strong white line to the left, which is what the simple system is designed to do. It (currently) follows road markings, and/or the car in front. That's it, and that's why you don't leave it una

    One does not buy something as expensive as a Model X without reading all the words on thr configurator page. Said with experience. This is not a whimsical purchasing decision.

    Genuine question: how many HN readers log on to boxes with user accounts that belong to humans, where some state may have been mutated? My experience of the last five years is so heavily weighted to (effectively) immutable infrastructure th

    It was 2005. The web was a different place back then. Although it's a bit earlier, ICQ used monotonically increasing user IDs as its addressing mechanism.

    I used to teach jiu-jitsu to an Iraqi Kurd asylum seeker in London. Despite his own people being gassed, he preferred Saddam. If you kept on the right side of the powers-that-be, you could run businesses and have a life. This is in contrast

    One of our engineers, Paddy Steed, wrote a series of articles on how we each use a Yubikey for SSH, UTF 2FA, and access to 1Password on shared machines when we pair-program. The SSH key is generated on the Yubikey, so it never touches your

    As someone who remembers the usability horrors of the 90s as wr stumbled our way to figuring out what worked, I think the author is misidentifying the issue. Websites work just fine now - the issue is Amazon having an economy of scale and b

    If an enterprise adopts a technology that allows them to go faster, but doesn't change any of their processes to make them go faster, they have effectively thrown money down the drain. I'm sick of seeing tech companies eagerly swi

    Also, countries like Norway manage to generate most of their electricity from renewables. Just because most countries don't doesn't mean it's impossible.

    A typical article decrying EVs on the assumption that nothing will change. If every house ends up with a solar array and an equivalent of a Tesla Powerwall (other brands are available) then there won't be massive demand on the grid. Yo

    PHP was originally called Personal Home Page Tools. Perhaps people should consider that before building large and complex systems using it.

    Used Renault Zoes are exceptionally cheap in the UK. £69/month battery lease, and then about £2k for the car.
