As someone who rode fixed gear (“no gears”) in Edinburgh for many years, I can assure you it’s absolutely possible, and wouldn’t take an average person that long to get fit enough to do it either. I’d actually argue Glasgow city centre has

Docker compose doesn’t get the love it deserves. The most recent versions even dropped requirement to specify the schema version, it’s a beautifully compact way now to describe services and their relationships. I have used docker-compose fo

In my experience it's close to impossible to register something like an F150 in California without using a commercial registration. A quick google suggests this experience is widespread. I don't think I have ever seen a F150/

If you are a server side web app, the migration process from legacy net Framework app to net 5/6 has gotten _a lot_ easier in past few years. The biggest barrier for most in my experience has been getting through the project file (*.cs

It generally always works in practice. Common real-world example is “External GPUs” connecting via thunderbolt: these are actually just generic PCI express 4x slots on a cable (4x is max throughout thunderbolt 3 achieves, can’t remember wha

This! Having been down the home-rolled router rathole several times with PFSense etc, you often need a vastly more powerful generic CPU to match the performance of the dedicated NPUs in even entry-level dedicated networking gear, something

I think there is still value in the comparison, but you are absolutely correct. Any comparison must include this huge caveat - the Mac had a third party software ecosystem for over 20 years, well before OS X or a Mac App Store came along. T

Even if you can get them cheaply the length limits on non-“active” thunderbolt 4 cables make them a poor choice as a universal replacement for a usb c cable in many cases. Unless you have active cabling (hundreds of dollars or more typicall

I really enjoy Maher's writing on video games, beyond his obvious talent as a writer I think he tries to evaluate the games he writes about in a time-period sensitive way. I also share his dislike for some of the more absurd puzzles fr

VR/AR is such a new paradigm for interacting with computers I think that its inevitable companies will make many failures before finding the apps and hardware that clicks with customers. In 2017, we had only had mainstream non-beta VR

It's true it was the standard on early Japanese electric stuff (the Leaf mainly), but it's a bit of an exaggeration to say Chademo was some kind of industry standard 10 years ago. Chademo itself is a creation of Japanese auto-make

But how can you steal an idea that is already widely available for sale from others in the marketplace? Your assertion they "completely stole someone's idea/design" is equally theoretical here. If I purchase a washing ma

This is the actual reason the "Other OS" support was pulled. The other speculation in here is pretty funny. It was also pretty limited for many purposes - you couldn't access the GPU at all reducing total system memory to 256

Do you think a company is obligated to purchase every idea an employee cold sells them? It strikes me as incredibly unlikely in 2016 Delta management at some level weren't aware of the concept of workplace messaging software. Besides t

You can spin that both ways - a company Delta sized may want to partner with a company who have track record in providing support and services to a Delta sized firm, vs a pilot's side project... For Delta, long term support they can co

No expert, and yes I agree it might be a sharp practice if they substantially lead him to believe they would deal with him, but is this not the purpose patents serve? The app as described in this article at least is incredibly generic - I&#

Of course, I didn’t disagree. OP suggests they are being sold at cost.

I’m more surprised there are people out there who think Tesla would by design offer after sales parts “at cost” or a loss personally!

Update: reread the article, customer has the 50kWh rear wheel drive car. That means he’s been offered a battery at 320 bucks per kWh - at that price, of course tesla are profiting from the sale. If you have the 75 kWh car the bill is presum

If you force a team of talented people to go into perpetual “maintenance mode” for a product many of them will want to quit (understandably!). At any rate, a new UI generates interest in an OS the way few other features will, so while it an

Have you seen a hydrogen pump in real life? While yes, it can be faster than a 20 minute fast charge, it is a significantly more complex process than gasoline - it doesn’t just pour out the end of a hose as a stable liquid. I actually think

While this was much more true maybe 10 to 20 years ago, at least 28 days plus the approx 9 US public holidays is the minimum you should expect in a reasonable US SWE position. Many places offer better. Of course there isn’t the same level o

10.0 was effectively a beta OS, which was probably why Apple felt compelled at that time to offer the 10.1 update for as close to free as they could to those who had suffered through the developer previews. 10.1 still had plenty of issues t

You can’t begin to understand anti-trust law in US without looking at the extensive body of case law too - like any common law system, just reading the statute doesn’t tell you the whole story.

I think it’s pretty ridiculous to think something more complex than doom isn’t needed in a game simulating a vast number of systems like GTA, yes. Bugs and issues increase with complexity, surprise! Doom is gloriously simple by today’s stan

The tutorials provided by VPS providers like Digital Ocean are a pretty good way to learn how to setup a VPN or any other common webservice yourself. They have a pretty well maintained library: https://www.digitalocean.com/c
