Depends what you mean by competitive. Generally speaking reference counting offers better memory efficiency and more deterministic performance than tracing. These are usually desirable traits for mobile apps and games, and in many cases ser

Vapor looks like the best so far but it's still early days. In theory it has the potential to be extremely fast and memory efficient, but for example they only just got a couple TechEmpower benchmarks up a couple days ago and they rank

Two years ago there was an Autopark accident that made the news. Tesla blamed the driver -- very effectively.[1] But if you look closely, it likely was due to an unexpected OTA change in behavior combined with poor UI design. In the acciden

That's overly simplistic. If women or minorities see women and minorities doing well at companies, they are more likely to apply to them. If you want to break the pattern it makes sense for companies to take the initiative. Look at wha

IMHO the best readily available commercial kimchi is Sinto Gourmet. Spicy napa cabbage and radish versions. You can get it at Whole Foods in SF. (Yes, yes, not as good as homemade.. but it's very good.)

Yes I have been to Barcelona, but I think you misunderstood my point. The article is about a public space known as a regular gathering spot, not a one-off concert or party. That regularity is what makes it similar to a venue.

You raise a good point, but it's important to note that many families, especially working class families, will continue renting in cities. Many do not even have enough savings to cover a $400 emergency expense yet alone a down payment

Possibly there's a simpler solution. A few years ago San Francisco passed a law requiring developers to notify potential residents if there is a nearby music venue, and also protecting those venues from nuisance lawsuits.[1] Perhaps th

You’re conflating two systems. Tesla rolled out Collision Avoidance Assist and Autopilot around the same time. Collision avoidance is undoubtably a great feature that’s contributed to a decline in accident rates. That’s primarily what helps

Exactly: you get that benefit with adaptive cruise control. What autopilot adds is autosteer. What’s the benefit there that doesn’t violate TOS? You are supposed to keep your hands on the wheel and pay full attention just the same.
