they mentioned revenue sharing in the keynote, and I'm eager to find out how that is going to work. There isn't much money in the $20/month subscription to go around to very many other developers

I think there must be a cost-per-kwh where big trucks just get big batteries, and fast chargers get fast enough to push them. but we don’t seem to have hit that yet

EVs are getting so much cheaper so fast that they'll overtake ICE and hybrid sales soon... but vehicle stock in the US turns over slowly I've seen predictions that at some point it'll be cheaper to get a new EV than to even k

do people still watch live TV? I’m only exposed it to when I stay in hotels and it seems to only be Seinfeld reruns and Shark Tank

do compilers like gcc support stack traces now?

even the Saudis will eventually find it cheaper to use solar

we need to get better at it, a lot of reforestation projects fail to successfully establish a new population of trees

I think you’re assuming a lot about the nature of intelligence. GPT is growing fast, but we have no real idea how big/deep the gap is between it and the human mind

that seems silly

what's the screen refresh time like on this? I have a small e-ink display that I got from Adafruit and it takes 10+ seconds to redraw

are there multiple languages that have this exact relationship concept? because if it’s in a single language or family of languages, the idea that it can be translates into something generic seems questionable

honestly I want to be like you but I never figured out the toolchain to flash an ESP8266 over USB without the Arduino environment

Raspberry Pi has found enough use in industry that it’s gotten hard for hobbyists to find boards. Maybe someone convinced Arduino that there are commercial applications

honestly if this is what makes literate programming happen, I think it’s a win

this an ancient debate, but in practice there is no difference

that’s fascinating and to me, because as a vim user since 1998, I haven’t really consciously noticed it changing much. If I tried running a version from 20+ years ago, today, would it still work on a modern O/S ? Are there modern vim f

it’s basically always reasonable to insult someone’s code because we are computer programmers and we know what we have done

how long do we expect these things to hold value?
