The article says: "According to J.D. Power's survey, Tesla's initial quality score is 250 PP100, a feat which makes even Audi and Land Rover seem reliable by comparison." Yet, Audi has 225 problems per 100 cars and land

Exactly, for example for cases under 40 y/o: South Korea: 5539, deaths = 5 = 0.09% Switzerland: 8874, deaths = 5 = 0.05% Italy: 37139, deaths = 84 = 0.22% Netherlands: 8207, deaths = 14 = 0.17% This is from wikipedia for the respective

In my country the breakdown for excess deaths is: 15 - 44 = 27 45 - 64 = 589 75 - 84 = 1356 85 + = 1761 If you are under 40 your risk of dying seems to be very very low.

I don't think for most people dying is the scary outcome, like you say it's very very unlikely for a healthy young person. But what is the odds that you survive but then require kidney transplant or lung transplant or have leave I

In my CSYS Computing Course in high school in the UK we used C. It was very very basic stuff though. Still, I was able to basically walk through my first year at Uni (which was exclusively C programming) with almost zero effort.

The adult equivalent of giving a kid a gold star for getting all his exercise questions correct. I've worked at a place where this sort of thing happened, giving team mates cards. It's embarrassing.

I can't keep up with what words you should and shouldn't use but "females" in this context does sound a bit odd. I wouldn't ask how many males do you work with, I would just way "how many men do you work with.&

I worked in a place where if you commented your code you would fail the code-review. I had a mate who worked at a place where the code once it was checked in was ran through a processor that deleted comments!

If you don't like to see the comments hide them in your IDE. Most decent IDES let you set the background and foreground colours based on the code. i.e. I have comments for type /* */ and // set to be grey on a sligh

Jeez Do you use source control? YES Can you make a build in one step? NO Do you make daily builds? NO Do you have a bug database? NO Do you fix bugs before writing new code? NO Do you have an up-to-date schedule? NO Do you have a spec? NO,

I love clojure the language but hate the tooling. Also a lack of documentation was always a problem, especially around clojure script. I also don't like smug community. When you say about the lack of documentation and get told that

This article is written like these flaws in javascript are just a quirky feature. No, they are an embarrassment. They don't make the language cool or interesting, they aren't tricks. They are logically incoherent nonsense.
