The Model X shares 60% of its parts with the Model S. I believe that, critically, the "sled" (battery tray and motors) are shared between the two.

I think the final paragraph sums it up, although the author seems to miss the point: >The thrill and rush of possibly winning started to wear off after about the twentieth losing ticket. Each card had a couple of “Life” symbols on them,

I had a professor who used a similar concept of fostering active discussion and debate within the classroom, except he did it for every lecture. He would present a concept, then ask us a series of questions about it. Students would first th

What the ops team isn't telling them (DevOps only goes so far) is that there's a cron job on each node which periodically bounces the Chronos processes (and its 50 dependencies) in order to mitigate memory leaks.

Not curl, but I did something similar for a particularly dramatic death scene in a MUD 15 years or so ago. The hardest part was shutting up all of the normal MUD chatter that the players get (OOC chat and the like).

Couldn't it also just be clock skew on a host or local datacenter which set off a chain reaction? I mean, I know that traders are probably pretty anal about accurate clocks, but mistakes do happen.

As others have mentioned, Sudoku is a rather crowded market. Still, your take on it looked interesting so I clicked over to the Play store intending to install it. I then saw that your app wants the "phone status and identity" privilege, wh

Depends on what you do. The company I work for does outsourced datacenter operations and application monitoring. Our site and our blog absolutely must be up at all times, period. If one of our blog posts made it to the front page of HN or r

The GNOME 3 "Displays" app is pretty good. You can toggle mirrored, external screen to the left or right by just dragging, etc. It isn't quite as slick as the one shown in the video, but it's certainly functional and easy to use.

It likely depends on what you're doing as well. For programmers who spend most of their time editing source code and working on a small number of development machines it makes sense to put some effort into customizations to optimize workflo

It's true that the distro's packages can often be out of date: particularly with "Enterprise" releases like RHEL/CentOS. That doesn't mean that one shouldn't use the package manager, though. Building custom packages to backport updates and

As a sysadmin pip and its ilk annoy me as well, although for a reason which is not mentioned in the article: It creates an entire package management system which is not the distribution's package manager . Ruby's gems tick me off for the s
