Yeah of course, SpaceX would be stupid to not use the resources NASA will make available for them. Honestly, NASA would probably much rather be out of the business of building rockets, so they can focus on the next generation of space exper

Yeah. It is great that Nasa and the US military paved the way, like has happened before (The internet, etc). SpaceX feels like a new era of spaceflight, harnessing so much of the potential that US government created in the previous era.

Propulsive landing is really hard, see the failure montage from Spacex as they iteratively worked on it. SpaceX also had a very strong incentive to develop the tech, since they are a commercial launch provider and could make more money. All

Probably the efficiency of a milk route, you can do more of a traveling salesman walk. Rather than a one order to one driver, which is probably substantially less efficient. Amazon/Wholefoods doing more of a scheduled delivery might b

Working from a separate country isn't usually allowed based on the labor laws of that country, since you are still paying your taxes to your home country while using the infrastructure of another. You can certainly do it, but your comp

All nighters are extreme and an unsustainable idea, I learned as much in college. But I do sometimes put in long hours (maybe for a week or two at most) to push through a project I really enjoy, solving a problem for the company that is tec

Hey, Minivans are great! Those bad boys fit an astounding amount of cargo, are easy to drive, and most are insanely reliable. You'd better just bit the bullet lol. --Edit: Plus cops never pull you over

Honestly, coming to Rust from C/C++ is/was a breath of fresh air. I work mostly in C++ for my day job, and with Rust I spend so much less time thinking about the implementation because the compiler will check for me. With C++ I&#x

Right tool for the job should also take into account the experience of the devs you have at your disposal. For an omniscient Dev, is Rust the best tool for the job? Unsure. But for them with already significant rust experience? Sounds like

They did just approve a 600 million dollar construction package to rework market. A protected bikelane and new sidewalks will help a lot, but it takes time. Enforcement in general is for sure still a huge issue in the city.

I get what you're going for, American cities are very car centric. But do you have any sources for those strong claims like GM blackmailing people?

Folsom street in the Mission District of SF has one at 15mph. Perfect if you are on a bike. Keeps the average speed of drivers down in the residential areas, and if you know the timing is at 15mph, you might as well just cruise.

Yeah, there are some pretty solid crates coming up. Obviously Tokio as a runtime, Rayon for parallel iterators,and the whole Async Std crate. Rayon is a good example of a crate that helps add concurrency without much headache for embarrass

Can't say enough good things about Magit, it is astounding how much better it is than other version control software built into IDEs. Magit feels like it expands what I can do with git, rather than other IDEs dramatically limit what g

Lol WebEx is always the weakspot. Push to talk by default would be a nice add.

That old adage, the best code is the code not written. Programs have to solve a problem to be worth anything.

Yeah, it may be a decent tradeoff for those who don't want the increased effort of entering 2-factors. Password + key. For those who don't trust the fingerprint reader that much, it does upgrade you to effectively 3 factors; pass

Yeah I would like this for a yubikey I leave plugged into a machine, like my desktop at work. That way I don't have to fish the one I carry on my keyring out of my pocket and remember to bring it home.

I suppose for sites that only allow one, you can store their backup codes in bitwarden behind you multi-key service. Still annoying.

Maybe we could consider Craftsmanship in this sense to be the dedication to building a good business. Ideally, the CEO/Founder wouldn't be the most skilled artisan in any one thing in their company, but would be an artisan of int

That was my experience even as a kid hunting deer. Sitting in one spot in the woods for a whole day (predawn to dusk) really changes the woods as the animals forget about you. Bringing a book helped as well to stave off complete boredom. Bu

The primary reason for the original creation of 'letters patent' is to prevent all of human knowledge from being hidden behind trade secrets. We can debate how long, or in what form patents should be granted. There are many ineffi

The language is still 'fairly new'. I'd rather the lang team let popular things cook as a 3rd party package for awhile until a good default solution shakes out. For instance hashbrown was just pulled into the stdlib. Some pe
