The OP says it was just a random collection of thoughts rather than an article. He's going to turn them into a proper blog post.

Regardless of whether your correct or not, this is still a disrespectful comment. Nevertheless, he's referring to Ada Lovelace's comments from 1843 and saying they weren't understood for ~100 years i.e. 1940s. That pre-dates

You could buy a Tesla semi and throw away the trailer. Or better yet - use the trailer as a garage to drive around your black model S.

Wow talk about memory usage expansion: Gmail vintage (0.8 MiB) -> Gmail (158 MiB) -> Inbox (215 MiB) I feel a desire to switch back to the original HTML version - credit to Google for keeping it going. Here's the handy support pa

I've just updated the table header to reflect that it's MiB - plus its sorted now. Interesting to see is Google Inbox at the top vs Gmail (vintage) at the bottom

I guess that its MB, I've created a PR with the list reformatted as a table with the MB column right-aligned so the data is more scannable: https://github.com/ianchanning/your-web-app-is-bloated/tree/...

> Note syncing, mobile and desktop. This gets a bit harder. The dropbox text editor works 'ok'. It's not great, but it's clean enough that I can edit my markdown notes and they'll be synced with dropbox.

Yeah I prefer ripgrep with a bunch of markdown files.

The regular Model S fits 7 with kids. It must be a fairly major cash saving having an electric car when dealing with so many kids. Colleagues of mine were paying more than 100 euros in fuel a week for large SUVs.

I'd rather have the enjoyment of being able to think in normal English speak rather than Yoda speak just to fix one edge case that appeared decades after they came up with the syntax.

Yes true, but a half million miles will do and I'd rather spend the time in a Tesla.

I'm still writing some notes in Evernote on my mobile, but on desktop I've just switched to markdown notes in a Dropbox folder. I have a vim plugin now that generates a html preview as I type. I think markdown is the most future p

My hope is that the competition will force the force Tesla to make it easier for 3rd party mechanics to make repairs. Mercedes is more experienced in building cars that last for a long time. The C-Class is known for being able to drive up t

It is an issue with resale value. But I drive about 12k miles per year, and the battery should last 500k miles. My last ICE car survived maybe 120k miles before being a write off. There's a good possibility that I'll only need to

Perhaps as Musk gets further down the road of actually being a car manufacturer his thoughts will change, but he should welcome this. He gave out the patents freely so that more competition would come, he wants the electric car market as a

Interesting, thanks for the link. Your comments don't seem to answer the question of cars having their lights on making it harder to spot motorcycles. At night time cars will have lights on anyway, so I think it comes down to if cars h

I bow to your experience, but I can see how technical manuals similar to recipe books could definitely benefit from notes that say "this did/didn't work because...". If you've got rubbish colleagues, then yes you&#x

I very much like the idea of passing down notes through the generations. Much better than one of those Patek Phillipe watches. There's lots of discussions I never had with my dad, mostly cause it's too awkward but private notes in

It's still just politics. If you've got nuclear waste not having a plan is the worst option. There's never going to be a perfect place to store waste because you have to store it for such a long period of time. The French enc

My dad bought a 22ft ketch rig for £28k and sold it about 6 years later for around £22k. It was in good condition, certainly nothing threadbare, but no luxury either. He had it around my late teen years, some of the best memories of my chil

It's not just the face, I always aim for eye contact. But also as they say in the article it's about judging risk. If the face is towards you you're very unlikely to be in the peripheral vision, so there is a good chance the

From what I understand, in the US, there is a coherent plan for nuclear waste disposal in Nevada. It's just politics that is stopping it.
