   It's self-driving cars that will finally make people feel safe walking to get places again. Electric cars will make that choice more pleasant for reasons of sound and smell. I agree, the trend is toward unwinding the prisoner's di

   The Go runtime is still being optimized. For instance we found that the upgrade to Go 1.2 made a big difference for some of our performance tests. So it's nice to get surprises like that but also shows that the ecosystem is still young

   I was just in a budget meeting for the local (Portland, OR) transportation department and asked them if they knew whether when an individual switches from a car to a bike, how much does that impact their budget? They didn't really have

    I spent the holidays building a four screen admin UI with lots of fast moving tables and lists, and React was able to work with me from who-cares spaghetti all the way to clean enough to hand-off to a team, all without missing a beat or imp

    Maybe where you live but here the city makes big strides and on nice days easily 20% of the dropoffs in our preschool are by bike.

    Would you be able to take in all the sites and sounds around you on a nature hike, say you are going birdwatching or something, just as well with a foam hat on? If you can see your helmet at all then that's part of your peripheral visi

    I don't want to dwell on the negative, but a big reason I don't wear a helmet is because I think they send the message that what I'm doing is dangerous when it's exactly the opposite. And that message is part of the whol

    Our family does without a car and I take my daughter to school or pick her up in my cargo e-bike. Neither my wife or I wear helmets as speeds are slow around here and there are plenty of other family bikers. I think my daughter is safer whe

    Thanks for posting this. I'm not a physicist but I do enjoy reading about new explanations that simplify things. It wasn't clear from the article if this is all theory, or if there was some actual experimental use of electric fiel

    Work on stuff that matters. If you get demotivated then maybe it means you realized the thing you we working on doesn't matter as much as you thought. So you pivot and work on something that keeps you motivated.

    We use it because we have user programmable callbacks, and JavaScript provides a well-known sandboxed language. Otto makes it really easy to expose native functionality to JS.

    I saw a few intelligent commentaries about this who agreed it was a great IPO for Facebook. The way I think about it, they floated it like a wet sponge, something you can only do if you are confident and taking the long view.
