I worked in the industry and I feel the same. For existing car companies the question is if they have somebody with enough power to shift the resources in the right direction. For newer companies they are already heading in the right direct

So the real problem is that the system is not divided in small and independent chunks of code. Or, we didn't hire an achitect. Or, we just fixed all the small things without any consideration of how they affect the whole system. Someth

Yep. I've seen some documentary where they said that in a very sunny region of Spain it was too expensive to put solar panels on your own roof due to taxes. The large companies made sure it was not feasible for home owners to do so.

Cool idea. The main drawback is that the train still has to push the air in front of it so it's no better than a regular train. I think this is the main advantage of hyperloop. Air drag is significant over 40km/h.

One can draw 30 objects in Trial mode. Pretty nice. I might have it on my computer for years and never have a use for it. But if I have it I might learn it and find a use for it.

As far as casual user is concerned, it didn't. Large corporations instead enjoy a very nice free ride (all the servers).

Well as with everything it depends: If you just started out (less than two weeks, 4 days/week) then it will make you more awake. If you passed this point then there is enough fatigue accumulated that your body just wants to rest/s

I don't want to change it, I like it. Plus they added the possibility to add other email accounts and so on. It just that they had a good product and now with the rewrite the product is not as good which you would expect to get from a

I'm a long time user of Yahoo Mail. The problems started to appear just when they tried to keep up with the new technology (I read that they use React). Up to that point everything was good. Now, when I load the web mail client, someti

It took me two years to really apreciate the flexibility and the new life. Either that or two years to undo the harm the salarymen life did to me. I'm not sure but it gets way better.

You and me but this is not what it gets picked usually. Everybody wants fast and cheap because these are the only things that any person (even an unqualified one) can judge. Also they only think about now. They don't realize that cheap

If you have problem sleeping do this: there will be some times when you will sleep better. What you have to do is go back 3-7 days and see what you did in those days and do more of that regularly.

The API maps and google.com/maps are different products. Maybe they reuse some code but they do not have the same features. On google.com/maps if you search for a teritory (like a country) you will get a red border arround that te

This is how Chrome pushes out other browsers: first you make a browser that is fast in some aspect. Then you build an app that takes advantage of that aspect. In this case Chrome can handle a lot of events and Google Maps generate a lot of

I think it works best with programming because you write your ideas in code and the compiler will quickly tell you that your idea is wrong, and you can't be mad at it because it is not a person. Now if a colleague tells you that you ha

Relax. I've seen code written with/for the newest technologies and it's mostly crap. Just like you don't have time to learn it, most people don't. But everybody is happy, including the client, because they have this

To be efficient you need to find the right balance between work and life. Too little work, you are lazy, too much work, the quality of your work drops to the point you could work very little (as time) and have the same result. Also this bal

What one can do is reset your body. Consume your own grown stuff and only drink spring water, from a real spring, and see the effect on yourself for 4-6 months. The problem is that there are a lot of people that grew in urban areas and they
