A very long time ago I had internet (but not cable tv service) with Comcast. It was generally mediocre reliability, but it's the only option we had. At some point, the service just up and went out entirely. For approximately two months

There are all sorts of examples of this in the real world, because it's often not feasible to group everything you'd like into a single transaction. As a trivial example, consider any interaction with a third party. Once you'

I had the same reaction as GP, thanks for the explanation! I don't think the original DA games hold up too well nowadays, but they were good at the time and still provide me with fond memories.

Yep, 1300mi isn't easy. (I said 700mi was). You're correct, for me, it's mostly been non-stop interstate travel on a lot of midwest/western interstates.

Might be me. I've semi-routinely made day trips of 1300mi, and I've done a few out-west road trips that involved long bouts of driving. I'm not happy with FSD yet, but Autopilot is excellent and really helps with driver fatig

Why the skepticism? It's pretty obvious from the car and supercharger stats that this is trivial to accomplish. I had an easy 700mi day trip years ago in my m3p and the range and chargers are better nowadays.

Right, it's not currently balanced well, and the massive amount of nerfing in the last patch was to work to address that. Thankfully, it looks like they realized the patch was bad. They just announced in their fireside chat that they w

I can see glimpses of what they were going for with online multiplayer in D4. There's some fun there, but I think it's currently a net negative. It forces them to balance tightly, but I don't need D4 to be perfectly balanced

It's an option on the plaid direct from Tesla. It is literally the definition of stock and is exactly what the record at Nurburgring was set with.

The plaid isn't top of class at cornering, but the idea that it can only do straightaways is a dated view based on pre-track-package days. See my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36575033

That exact same person recently released a video saying he needed to apologize to Tesla. (His words not mine). https://youtu.be/ot8zw9UKdgY The gist is that he originally thought his concerns about the plaid couldn't b

EVs are probably in a better position than most ICE vehicles in that situation. You won't consume fuel while at a dead stop in the traffic jams. You'll have peak efficiency when moving at low speeds in the traffic jams. You'l

To say that the plaid is only fast in a straight line is a bit of an exaggeration. It's top 50 (production cars) on Nurburgring, for example - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_N%C3%BCrburgring_Nor...

They're comparing compressed text vs compressed binary, apples to apples. While text compresses amazingly well, binaries aren't 100% entropic themselves. They usually also benefit from compression. For example, the defacto "e

What region are you speaking of? AFAIK, any car marketed in the US to do over 115mph (of which there are many), will do over 115mph.

I believe thinking about it as "offline vs online" obscures what's actually difficult about offline operation. It's not storage or ownership of data that's difficult, it's conflict resolution. The longer you&#x

If you're executing 10M flag tests per document, something has gone very horribly awry. If you discover production code that is doing this, send the maintainers a PR.

Feature creep definitely bloats and slows software in meaningful ways, but it's not via checking feature flags. In the worst case, a feature test would be a cache miss, requiring a read from main memory. That's somewhere in the ba
