They are not doing anything wrong so I'm not sure why anyone is "accusing" them of something. I've read this post, what they do is clear and makes sense to me. Most of all it preservers "if the student doesn't

No, we don't misunderstand it. 10 lines per day is just rubbish. Here's an example: https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf is code written by 2 people (me and another guy). It's written, document

It won't. When you buy FSD and sell the car, the FSD stays with the car. This is a muddy situation where car was sold back to Tesla, dealer bought it from Tesla and sold to a third party. Dealer claims it bought the car with FSD from T

They don't. According to Tesla that feature was enabled by mistake and never paid for. Whether you believe Tesla, is another matter but it's not like they remove features people paid for.

This bug, the HN thread and how hard it is to fix ( https://bugs.python.org/issue39318 ) is a pretty good argument against exceptions. A code that looks simple and correct has been hiding a very subtle bug because no one unde

Advice from a fellow dev: add a crash handler and set it up for an automatic submission of crash reports (symbolicated callstacks of all threads) via HTTP POST to a server. Better yet, turn it into something that others can use easily by co

The major reason people use threads is to speed up compute intensive tasks. Ideally, pure computation like the one in your example should get a speed up linear to number of threads. 2 threads -> 2x faster. 3 threads -> 3x faster, up t

Go's assembler syntax is inherited from Plan 9 project, which started in late 1980 and first released in 1992. For context, gcc was first released in 1987 i.e. about the same time that Plan 9 started. Go authors didn't attempt to

The argument is not that we should trust Tesla to self-certify. The argument is that they have shipped 3 cars in Europe. All their cars got among the best, if not the best, crash test ratings by every government and non-profit agency that t

Their job is still to sell cars. You can fool some people some of the time but not all people all the time. If people don't buy EV cars because dealerships anti-sell them, that's bad for car makers. Especially in Europe in China,

Here's something that will shock you: this story is false. Based on comments so far most people, even those defending Tesla, accepted the false premise that NHTSA decided to investigate Tesla on its own. That's not what happened.

Here's what this research tells me: demand for transportation is much higher than the current use of transportation. Current use is limited by cost and convenience. Self-driving car is likely to fix both so it'll lead to more use
