Right? Though the march of enlightenment is eternal, suffrage is not bourne but rather embraced. Through bright corridors stream draughts of fairies, otherworldly. Phonetics lies, asunder.

This seems like some kind of holy grail to me, and frankly quite useful for development. Got some library you want to use? Feed it into the documentator! Need to integrate with some firmware that nobody cared to document? Feed it into the d

Self-driving cars should be mimicking only the "best" drivers. If you qualify "best" as something like "lowest lateral g-forces on passengers" then you end up with a very comfortable drive that absolutely break

It is neither obvious, nor possible. There are zero real world drivers that actually follow all the laws. Do you think that people are just all bad? Or is there maybe a higher level principle at play here?

The responsibility for following the law is still on the driver. If I'm responsible, then I can choose to have the car break the law on my behalf, and accept the consequences.

There's a difference between legal and enforced. Going over the speed limit is not legal, but no officer will pull you over at +1, unless you piss them off for some other reason, like by being black in a white community, for example. R

The only value a recruiter brings to me these days is someone to practice light interview skills with when I'm feeling like I need a reminder that I can still do it.

Hopefully the crank doesn't snap off. I've seen that, too. It is also possible for the door handle mechanism to fracture. Sorry for your trauma. Upside down in water is generally a very difficult scenario to survive, no matter wha

Right! If this "dumb car" aesthetic is really such a hit, then there are a lot of cars from the 90's that are ready to buy and plenty of shops that are eager to overhaul your old clunker into a hot new legendary UI of a car!

Dumb cars aren't more expensive to produce. And EVs don't have to be "tech". It's just that is what people want.

That's a bit much. Not everyone has the aptitude for good, calm driving. That might make them excel in other areas of life, just not at driving safely in traffic. Has humanity failed because we provided them transportation? No, but we

Back in 2010 this was reasonable. Now? Anti-spam functions have become quite the specialty, with DNS and email strongly intertwined. And that's all on top of the already significant burdens to run a non-relay hacker-proof server. There

You won't be the first, or the last, to wonder this. There are people who have dedicated entire lives to it. Look into post quantum cryptography if you're interested to know about one of the big trains heading our way.

Cryptanalysis is a pretty robust area of research. There are in fact a lot of cryptanalysts that know CPUs quite deeply. Certain organizations spend a great deal of money to make it so. If vulnerabilities are found we learn from them and ad
