Which would be much easier if only we had a static page generator generator generator!

I love them both as well. Edit: read the prequel first, imo.

It seems a bit odd that they credit the Golden Gate Bridge picture, but not the other two pictures that they use as example content images. I looked through the whole thing but couldn't find any relevant citation. Interesting read thou

Hard to take an argument that includes the phrase "you're just stupid" seriously.

C++ has a type system. I suppose then that your implication is that it's not a 'good' type system. What would you pick instead?

I have the same model, totally agree! I think 2013 15" rMBP was the pinnacle of apple laptop design.

Interesting point. I suppose that decisive perfectionism is the goal then. This is definitely more difficult when the scale increases, and the time between deciding the path and seeing the results increases. I've been working on a proj

I wouldn't be surprised if software engineering tends to attract perfectionists. Writing code requires a very high level of specificity - you have to think about all the ways that your code might not be perfect or there will inevitably

I'm not sure that the ability to make a vacuum is our primary bottleneck to making a Hyperloop on Mars.

This. My mom's BMW has a really useful navigation display on the HUD. It also shows your speed. These two things mean you basically never have to look down from the window. Definitely comes in handy, especially in stressful driving sce

When I click the link in the footer now, it directs to the homepage. The /technology page is still 404.

Seems to make sense that while attempting to start a venture knowing there's a significant risk of failure, one might want to have a separate stable income stream.

Let's not forget about tabs v spaces though

Presumably, they're implying that loss prevention is functionally equivalent to earning income, w.r.t. the bottom line.

The introduction of self-driving cars would definitely displace a large number of jobs - especially truck drivers - but this is not exactly a new trend. Technological unemployment has been affecting the job distribution for hundreds of year

I'm a bit surprised that the SAT was such an important metric for them. In my opinion it doesn't do that great of a job of characterizing intelligence.

Yeah I really don't understand this move. Looks like I'll stick with my iPhone SE until it dies and never "upgrade".

I do this too! I write most prose in sublime. It gives me spell check, word count, handy text folding features, and tons of other useful features without the distractions of thinking about styling. If necessary, I paste dump it into Pages&#

I'm not sure of the specifics, but I think it's fancier than the $8000 unit you're referring to. The vpl-16 only has 16 vertical channels. The next up has 32 vertical channels and costs closer to 30k. The biggest one with 64

I find it interesting that they didn't notice the overloading for so long. Also that it took so long to roll back. Given that they reportedly roll out twice a day, it seems like identifying a rollback target would be fairly quick.

I understand Apples standard secrecy policies, but in developing a self driving car it feels highly counter-productive. It's hard to test software and gather data in the real world while simultaneously keeping everything under wraps.

I'm not convinced your math is accurate. I'm definitely not an expert, but I also don't think the money would just disappear into the void - presumably it would continue to cycle through the economy.

How so?

Ah that makes more sense. Thanks for the link!

Is this sarcastic, or are you actually implying that most people would not run away from someone firing a weapon?

What leads you to believe this? Do you also think that good hackers don't drink?

Quite understandable. That is a very impressively close fit!

That is an incredibly disorienting photo
