I've found it's less addictive on my phone than on my laptop. I can dip in skim a couple of articles and dip back out. On my laptop it's easier to up vote and comment so I get more involved. I also then spend more time readin

I treat HN like nicotine patches. It's still addictive but much better than the alternatives. I came across HN just because the HN bot on Twitter had the most interesting links in my feed.

Given the far reaching importance of the Turing test, it's amazing how readable and understandable the paper is.

I found Zeal to be of some use as you can download a ton of documentation for offline use.

Even if you just buy a pizza base and then add the toppings yourself you end up with a better pizza than take out. I'd rather experiment with the toppings rather than the pizza dough making. This works even better with my 4yo daughter.

One of the main points of design patterns is composition over inheritance. Composition is also a major part of functional programming.

IBM have been what seems like this bureaucratic monstrosity ever since the started. But that was back in the 60s. I appreciate their perseverance if nothing else. If you look at the fate of companies like Nokia, IBM has some how managed to

Kudos to Chocolatey on Windows, they immediately updated their Git package [0] to v2.14.1, so a simple `choco upgrade -y git` gets me up to date. If only life on Windows had always been this hassle free. [0]: https://chocolatey.o

The extended range model 3 is 310 miles. You go there, charge it up whilst you're white water rafting and then drive back.

Going vegetarian is what I did, for moral reasons primarily, but it has lots of health benefits. Assuming that you want to do it properly, that is you want to replace meat with various vegetables, nuts, and beans etc that provide protein yo

I kind of hope not. As bgarbiak points out [0], there's other things that we start talking about once the pollution of fossil fuels is out the way. Also once people have electric cars the incentive to have solar panels on your roof bec

How does that work? I always assumed that they were still using the disc brakes but harnessing that somehow to recharge the battery

by icc97 9y ago
My main point was the loose coupling and getting off the hook from fossil fuels. I shouldn't have made the point about city pollution as it just diluted the main point. Nevertheless, the brake discs won't be any worse in electric

ST3 is awesome, I switched from that to Vim. But not because I was unhappy with ST3, just because the only way to learn Vim is to dive in and use only Vim. I too didn't notice any latency in ST3 and I've spent a lot of time trying

This mirrors one of the things that I 'feel' about using Vim, that I commented about a few months ago [0]. It just feels faster than using something like Atom / Visual Code, it's hard to explain in other terms, but this

Andrew Ng also talks about why he chose Octave in the courses. So it was definitely always part of a debate.

Electric cars are the real world example of loose coupling. Once your car is electric the source of the electricity can change (from Coal -> Gas -> Solar) and you don't have to change your car even slightly. So it doesn't ma

Recursion is hard, but it is a fundamentally great tool. If I talk to someone who doesn't understand programming, they can usually understand the if and for statements that you might find in food recipes or in legal contracts. But almo

Certainly the voice recognition is impressive. All the regular things I asked Google Assistant were recognised almost perfectly. Andrew Ng talked about the difference between 95% accuracy and 97% accuracy being the massive difference. Googl

The leaf is still ugly unfortunately, but in all other accounts it seems to be a great car. This is one of the main differentiators that I've seen with Teslas, they actually make electric cars that look better than petrol cars, not fre

I certainly hope so, BMW seems to be the only major car company that looks to be the engaged in actually making electric cars that don't suck.

I don't suppose you have any insight on why BMW thought that it would be ok to make such an ugly car of the i3? The i8 is a fantasic looking car, and along with the Model S was the first Hybrid / Electric car that actually looked
