Avoiding overheat conditions is something the vehicle engineering needs to deal with. Teslas solve this problem with liquid cooling and the motor controllers use temperature sensors in the motor core to determine if the currents are too gre

Similar to how a car accident is interesting, perhaps. My wife checked out the site just to see if it was really that bad. She concluded it was. No doubt many installed it for the same reason.

Because the text motions, once learned, are extremely powerful and will cause your relationship to textual data to fundamentally change. All while avoiding wrist injury, because some critical keys (f, t, g, j, q) are so lettered due to the

Then you will never learn vim. Which is fine, not everyone needs to be a vim ninja.

My approach is to just use all the tools. I use clumsy IDEs when I really need powerful debugging. I use vim when I need powerful editing/macros. Sometimes I do code browsing with ctags. Sometimes I do code browsing with Eclipse. There

It does, actually. But you have to precede the command with <num>G to go to the correct line.

Yup, I wish all text fields had a vi mode.

I certainly didn't claim it was "fair". I stated that developers are going to coalesce around a small number of providers in a similar space. They clearly have a dominant position now. Their disruption won't come from ph

Because Apple and Google produced viable platforms that people want. Microsoft, Blackberry, and Palm all attempted to do something similar, and the market didn't coalesce around their offerings. Even Amazon tried with kindle/fire.

Phones do in fact allow this, the difference is that it doesn't scale up in a 1:many relationship, and the phone users are not incentivized to use the phone more for this purpose over, say, calling their mom.

One should always be aware of where one's money is coming from, otherwise one doesn't know who holds leverage over one's future cash flow. Bitcoin is not special in that regard, it's just another instrument for transmitt

Facebook does some moderation, but really it's curation that drives engagement.

It seems clear that interests can be very aligned where users are paying for their product. It is only when services are "free" where alignment is an issue.

The thing is... who else would decide? Isn't it the function of the state to make decisions based on information that is not available to the general public?

Because I've already done this for so many other people that I'm exhausted. Go f*cking read the speech yourself. What did he think would happen when he asked his supporters to "talk to their representatives" literally as

Also, there are more white people than black people. So? Black people are something like 5x more likely to be arrested in a traffic stop. It's not the same at all.

The moment your personal project becomes an open source project with you as the maintainer, there will be process. Manually making releases without any process gets real tiring, real fast.

Of course the phone is not the only key.

No, the phone stays in your pocket. You walk up to the car and open it, gloves or no gloves. It's great.

How do you imagine that authoritarians get going? Hint: It requires a horde of angry hillbillies, every time.

No phone-as-key? I'd pay $14k just for that. It's life changing.

While there’s a valid point to be made about expecting cyclists to behave, one also needs to consider that the vast majority of infrastructure in the US is for cars. Lights often don’t respond for cyclists, for example. If you were driving

Break it up into small units and resell the commercial space to businesses and offices that can actually make money? This is the kind of thing real estate managers are great at so no worries. Some will rot but my bet is most will be resold

It is highly likely that these fungi don't grow unassisted. They aren't likely to colonize in your wiring, for example, without significant help and ideal conditions, such as a great deal of starting spores all over the wiring and

I'm really enjoying the new generation of battery powered lawn tools. From chainsaws to leafblowers to lawnmowers, li-ion is taking over. I won't miss the mess and cheapo carbs and tricks like shipping products without a simple fu
