I tend to agree. Usually you want as fast as possible. Sometimes you don't though. E.g. Kythe (kythe.io) was designed so that its individual language indexers run with a main driver binary written in Go, and then a subprocess binary w

I mean, yea? CA has the highest real poverty rate (SPM) in the whole country. Some of that won't translate as well to road quality due to the fixed cost portion of road repair (because the OPM rate isn't the highest (though still

CA also has the highest real poverty rate in the country (SPM) I think GP's point about funding public transit is reasonable - a huge chunk of Californians can't afford an EV right now given that the cheapest one on the market is

They taught us this in fencing as a side discussion (like during a break). Apparently it isn't true, as other commenters pointed out. The button side of jackets thing is true though, except usually also told wrong. We're often t

Staircases too. There's one of the more respected instructors up near here in northern Oregon who does civilian tactical training stuff. Which is not my cup of tea, but it is interesting listening to the guy rant. He has what appear

I'm explicitly not buying an EV yet because there are no massive savings on gas where I am for the amount I drive. My current car cost like $12k used, and at the time a comparable electric used car would have been like $23k (and would
