But the bottleneck to Teslas becoming popular enough to make a dent in the carbon emissions (however popular that is) is not the price, it's the production rate. My guess is that, as with so many Silicon Valley ventures, their value is

It's naive to think western liberal cultural change is a one-way street. This is the kind of thing that comes in waves. Just look at the radical transformation of the pre-colonial Kingdom of Buganda into present-day Uganda with its sod

I have nothing against Knausgaard's work. I think it would be better if they actually did name it "Mein Kampf" in Germany, as well as started naming their kids "Adolf" again, because all these dead Nazis currently e

And nothing will ever be written in private, everything will be filed in a central location. As training material for the speech recognition systems of course, surely nobody would do anything sinister with the data.

I have this with all languages I get into. I get the urge to radically adopt whatever patterns seem to be idiomatic for the language, whether that's sensible or not. I tend to judge beginner friendliness of a language by how strong tha

Why would you want to introduce the extra complexity of IPC just because your GC sucks and can't handle the heap size that you need? Besides, processes are a ham fisted way to get around the PDP-11's limited address space and shou

It is highly relevant because we in industry are the ones who actually have to work with and scale all these needlessly slow piece of shit language implementations. Implementations that get a pass because nobody can be bothered to have this

What about CNC milled gun files? Seems like a much bigger threat since mills capable of producing reliable firearms are probably orders of magnitude cheaper and far more ubiquitous than the necessary 3D printers. And of course thugs sell co
