Buck and monorepo is a disaster (there). A bunch of people from Google forced that stuff down everyone's throat. Concerns and real life problems were simply discarded. Another solution in search of a problem. Not invented here at the e

IntelliJ is a good example, it does not have latency.

Running IntelliJ on a Macbook with Dell U2718Q every day and right now. Usually 2-3-4 large projects open. No issues.

Amazon is useless for high end outdoor gear. Not just gear even, but clothing. If something is available, it is often past years models, odd colors, sizes and the prices are non-competitive.

Java's insistence on using one class to one file, naming files with class names and placing everything in a class is extremely helpful in industrial software engineering. When you pile up devs with different backgrounds, some bright, s

Any OS w/o a POSIX interface is probably a non-starter at this point. Anything POSIX is arguably UNIX. This said, who cares about the kernel? Android is not about the kernel. There are 100x more difficult problems up the stack than the

Who cares, really? Windows is mostly used in the offices, and at that, the places too cheap to afford Macs. The home user and all semi-advanced tech companies have long switched off Windows. Windows is irrelevant at this point.

Stellarium is one of those apps that is capable of bringing a powerful new Macbook Pro to its knees. It's a great app, but the quality (at least on Mac) is complete crap. There's no QA, apparently. The recent versions on Mac have

"You see, back in 1994 Facebook hadn't yet invented the Internet, so if you wanted to go online and let your computer transfer viruses to and from other computers, you had to use one of the many private networks." Wrong, the

Another failure mode of the American capitalism model. Not an employee, no benefits, no retirement, no job security, disposable. If enough suckers get become contractors, maybe we can finally get universal healthcare and a stronger social s

Right west of Henries is a very remote place. Yes, agreed.

by diebir 8y ago
Equaling remoteness with being a designated wilderness is not the best way to find the most remote spots. Get on Tarantula Mesa or Upper Stevens Canyon in Utah. It is not a wilderness, but a National Monument (the one shrunk by the orange p

How do you justify commuting in a car with poor crash ratings? Leaf is a small (tiny) car from a relatively low rated manufacturer. I understand that somebody may not be worried about dying in a car accident, but the problem really is being

Because, like, it's a death wish? Riding bike in a city environment in US us very very dangerous.

My personal ask for the language designers is somewhat similar, but not quite this (it seems). I'd like to have either the language support for builders or setters where after creation an object becomes immutable. The options we have r

As usual, the republicans work against the will and simply against the American people. The environment, the Internet, the economy. Just vote the SOBs out next time around, please.

Riding a bike in the US (cities) is a good way to die. It's silly dangerous.

Yeah damn idiots broke ifconfig so it already misses some interfaces. Just say no to this insanity.

We have not had a good snow year since 2011 or so. The upside is that maybe Lake Powell will finally dry out. Too many people, too many farms and ranchers. Desert was not meant for people, it will expel them. Good. The needs to be wild agai

Interestingly, the picture shows that the car seems to have tried to avoid the collision by moving to the right. Of course, every human drivers with experience knows that you pass pedestrians behind, not ahead. The Artificial Intelligence o

Oracle, I have a proposition for you. Why don't you release Java and then curl up and die? There is not a reason for you to exist. Your mojo was 20 years ago, why prolong the agony. Save us all trouble and go home.

Is this going to be inherent and unavoidable for the machine learning based self driving cars? Perhaps self driving is never going to become a reality, just because of the problems like this (unless/until the road infrastructure suppor

Not necessarily "filtration" but rather "treatment". There are a number of various chemical treatments that can be used. For clear water I use MSR water treatment tablets (chlorine dioxide?), for seriously muddy and dirt

For one, the package management in Python sucks so bad it's not funny. This alone is a reason enough for me to never touch Python again.

Meh. Mac OS X package management is irreparably broken to begin with. There is a "package manager" but... it only knows how to install, not remove packages. Then the software vendors are divided as to whether the software should b
