That's an interesting analogy and it has two sides. A skilled player might hide a lot of technical debt without even realizing it. An unskilled one might see a lot of it that doesn't even exist.

I suspect that they help in getting past the prescreening filters in HR departments. I'm not sure that they do much beyond that, though.

And compilers are effectively a rudimentary form of test. They are not sufficient, nor necessary but they do validate some basic assumptions about the code.

If they were selling ads themselves that might make sense. But since they were planning to rely on the platform for ad revenue, I'd think they'd want to know others revenue experiences first. Ad revenue and eyeballs don't cor

Does it really matter? Why switch just for view numbers without a revenue model?

Technically he says a large #, not most. But I think its still a problem with the article, as what is a "large #"? And even within that subset, there are interesting variations. Some of the local apartments have "free" c

The headline was the controversial bit. The bit at the end is the "water is wet" news that a more expensive to purchase car is in fact more expensive to purchase. If you've ever added up your fuel costs for a year, this concl

I think the issue is that HN doesn't allow blurbs on link stories. A section like that doesn't make sense for a project that is targeted at an audience that already knows the basic jargon. OTOH, a HN post will reach a much wider a

Oh, that is an interesting project. I've been tempted to do something similar with an older Miata, especially after seeing a pretty decent conversion of one using Leaf packs. The RX-8 would be much more complex, IMO, but I bet it would

Honestly, price to sales alone is a joke of a metric for a growing business. Tesla revenue will likely double within the next 24 months (with quarterly trends clearly showing that towards the end of the year). That would put them at 1.9 P&#

I think that you are close, but its more like Tesla is Apple now and the rest of the industry is trying to be Android. Where Tesla dominates the US with a proprietary charging network, others are slowing inching (or millimetering?) forward

As an owner of a few Mazdas, I am also biased, but that gives me a similar opinion to the article. Trimming torque intentionally is really not consistent with Mazda's past behavior. Emulating slower cars shouldn't be a thing at a

Its funny you mention the RX series. I think an RX-8 like car with an electric drivetrain would actually be a lot of fun. It would weigh a few hundred pounds more, but the increase in torque and the low CG would mostly make up for it.

Bluntly, this is why companies have email "retention"[1] policies. Lots of products have internal emails about all the scary things that can (and will) go wrong. Its hard to put them into context, but if things do go wrong they wi

This is what gets overlooked in these stories. Most failures have at least a few of these. But if the same investigation happened with successful aircraft, they'd likely find a lot of the same things. "Employee at X mocks regulato

Again, I was comparing to the Rivian. I'm not convinced that the sail sides on the CT are appreciably higher than the Rivian over only the rear 4.5 feet. The Rivian is not a more practical vehicle by any stretch of the imagination.

The issue is that the comparison is to the Rivian which only has a 4.5 ft bed. The rear 4.5 feet of the Cybertruck isn't too hard to access, its the front 2 feet that is problematic. The rivian doesn't have that feature.

Tesla has said that they are willing to do so, just not for free. I also get the impression that they don't want every slow-charging electric vehicle to have access to their network, and I honestly can't blame them. They have capa

I'm not from anywhere close to Cape Cod, and I was really confused at the comments for a while. I generally read the comments first, and I was wondering what someone could have done with Pentium chips and RAM latencies to cause some di

This line would be funnier if you dropped the word engine. I am not aware of another Boeing product where an incorrect sensor caused an "engine" stall.

Honestly, after all the reshuffling and shenanigans around Reach, sharenow, etc, this seems pretty predictable. They never seemed to have a real strategy or goal beyond hoping to ride some PR wave.

I used it twice while in Seattle and was surprised by how dirty both vehicles were. I suspect that wasn't helping them any.

To be fair, I think most incoming freshmen at my university barely knew what a file was back in the mid 90s. None knew anything about UNIX or Linux. Things are at least mildly better now.

I still think it is my camera, even if I chose a camera that is dependent upon third party services. I've had similar frustrations with them, though. The Ring doorbell is so slow to respond that it borders on uselessness for certain ta
