   His point is that by modulating the throttle you can move the weight of the chassis around. Doing so affects how the vehicle steers. The statement is a bit exaggerated but nonetheless based on facts. It all depends on the car you are drivin

   Have you ever driven a FWD car really fast? Using your brakes while turning is useful to transfer the weight and avoid understeer.

   I've learned to avoid such services and outright hire somebody to help with project administration. Its easier and less costly. This person would help with sales, marketing, proposals, etc. Mind you, "freelancing" is a busine

   Absolutely. Porsche's own Cayman shows what the 911 should be (although in a bit smaller package). But purists demand the 911 to only be updated, not re-designed. It is their halo car and won't change it. Still, even though the de

   That's my point. I'm being supplied as a lead for investing time learning something that I will not be able to use in any potential position. Why should I do it? I'm genuinely interested in understanding this because it might

    @patio11: Why should I "play" this and not blog about programming? I still have to go through the usual technical interview when applying for a job. What's my incentive? I'm trying to find a reason to spend time learning

    There are multiple options available. Mostly depends on what you would be interested in doing. Shoot me an email (address in profile) if you'd like some help figuring it out (I'm in robotics).

    Honest != being a dick. You can be honest whilst respecting the other person. Being a dick just shows that you are a dick.

    Here is another side of the coin. Some ideas might seem silly. In fact, some actually are! But let's say a couple of them make it and turn a profit. Did the idea change the world? Maybe a little. If that much. Here is the kicker: The i

    Serious question: How are the opinions of a couple of internet commenter an attack on ambition, hard work, and potential success? I mean, big successes are treated the same way! Trolls will he trolls. Never mind the website.

    Does it matter what I think? YC has grown without me, and to be honest, I would probably make it worse. They've funded crap products before. I mean, that's their whole approach. Even airbnb was crap when the founders started. They

    As Seen on TV is a product line of crap that sells millions of dollars every year. Even without being compelling.

    I'll make sure to revisit Clojure again, thank you. Any specific recommendation as to where to start looking?

    Me too. Stumbling upon a webring while randomly traveling through geocities and then spending hours discovering. I would email the webmasters directly with questions and they'd answer. Oh and perl. Getting lost in perl webrings without

    I did this to help others get setup quickly with Phaser. Its super simple and saves you about an hour of tweaking around with things. Just jump right into the coding. Hope it helps in any way!

    Make sure to check out Tiled , a level editor. It works great with phaser. Easy to use and learn. Free.

    Agree with you. Government work has not been very popular with programmers. Working for "the man" is not something that is generally sought after. Ideals are strong in this young industry. Dunno if they should try and work as a st

    Absolutely. For example, I'd imagine that teams that participate in major events/series lock down their systems to avoid another team from sabotaging them. The competition is fierce and everybody is looking for an advantage. I&#x2

    Car nut here: Your assumption is correct. The system is not air gapped. Even racing control systems suffer from this (except some really expensive ones, although they use commonly sourced sensors with various form of shielding).
