You are confounding things here. The actual free and open web is certainly one of the best things ever. But all the app ecosystem we have built on it, the insecure and wasteful universe of web apps, and all the cruft that is created to su

Vimeo and Youtube are two very different things, like a sniper rifle and a machine-gun is. Vimeo is primarily a video hosting service, whereas Youtube is a publishing hub.

And that's why people deride unions. It's a defence mechanism.

I haven't seen one of them advertise online. Online adverts are way different than TV adverts. For one the latter costs way more, if I'm not mistaken. And even if that's not the case, still, those companies have so much mo

Is there a study on the (in)effectiveness of online ad campaigns? Is it or is it not a bubble that drives all this ad publisher to the ad platforms instead of buying ads more directly? I don't know the prices but I can bet buying an

Almost nothing is unusably bad. In VCS space, even SCCS is still better than nothing. CVS is still quite operable, OpenBSD is one of the finest codebases out there and it uses it. I actually agree you that Fossil is not a big improvement

Fossil does solve interesting problems, and has it's practical unique features for some use cases. And even if it didn't, having competition is nice, see clang vs. gcc. I use org mode files for my issues and wiki-like features fo

Tesla has done one really important and useful thing: demonstrate fully electric cars are not only possible, but also feasible. The rest has been a shitshow. They should've focused on range instead. But oh this is one of the compani

The death of a person is not a material to teach things to the public. A better approach would be naming the thing honestly.

You and the other commenter that says the wheel sensor is finicky should somehow contact the investigators (AFAIU that's NTSB). These are really important possibilities that may never be discovered by them.

Yeah, that definitely motivates me :) Thanks!

Thanks. Is having XCode necessary in order to build and publish for iOS (I guess yes)? I don't use apple computers and use linux, so if that's the case I'd need to buy a Mac and XCode to do so, no?

Tesla was one of the best tech I've ever watched happen, up until when they decided to introduce the Autopilot. I guess they found out they can't easily improve on the range, which was the feature, up until this mess of a brand

Nope. The wheel does turn, in videos I've seen, but with this video the problem is that the vehicle moves straight ahead as the yellow wall pops up in front of it, in which case the wheel would not indicate anything too.

I don't know much about cars but I guess the point you're missing is that Tesla is the first (and only) company to market automated driving assistance as Autopilot. My first impression when I heard that first was that the car kne
