Not only that but like, if your child touches the screen in your car have you committed a crime? Using a smart fridge is verboten- speaking to the house's Alexa? Straight to jail.

It was initially purchased as a vehicle to drive customers to Amazon's DVD sales business. I think it's monetized itself pretty well since then, though.

I work in film, not software engineering, but I've heard lots of shade thrown on React for a long time, mostly for this reason- messy code. The question I have is, does React somehow encourage or enable code that is messier than in oth

>I'd throw in the manual gearbox AKA the 4 speed transmission I mentioned :) But yes, the vibration, sound, and feel of the incredibly simple (as in stripped down, not unsophisticated) mechanics around you all very much contribute t

But this is a thread about modifying 50-70 year old cars with electric drivetrains. There are so few of these cars on the road anymore that I think very little progress is to be made on emissions levels by converting them to electric, espec

wtf are you talking about? I drive one of these cars every day (that I need to drive, which isn’t that often really) without leaded gasoline. It’s the punchy little m10 motor, 4 speed transmission, and incredibly low curb weight that make t

As an antique BMW enthusiast, I know some people that have swapped electric motors in to 2002s and 2000 CSLs and they said it was actually a pretty disappointing experience. You lose the vintage driving experience entirely.

The wife just bought an Air and it’s incredibly light. Not as thin as they used to be but shockingly light still!

Yup. Around 2005 my 83 year old grandpa decided he wanted to learn how to use a computer. I told him to just get a Mac- it’s a little more expensive but the user experience is unparalleled, and the Genius Bar offers (do they still?) classes

Yeah, I was a pirate as a kid. I said “give me a place where I can pay to have legal access to everything and I will.” Then Netflix came along and introduced streaming. I was happy. It began to fragment a bit, I could live with that. Now it

This is my position with this stuff. It became part of the LLM loop because it’s used a lot- it’s used a lot because it’s effective. Now we’re going to stop using effective rhetorical methods because they imply AI, even if we know we’re not

The claim was that “nobody” is doing this. It’s weird to split hairs on whether or not the own the car. Who cares if you’re napping in a driverless vehicle on the way to work?

Ah I see. Funny enough I consider myself more of a dinosaur or originalist- the PC was idealized as a device for individuals to write their own programs for their personal use. The issue before is that coding is not only difficult and time-

This is where I’m at. I’ve always been a computer tinkerer but a novice coder at best. I work in the film industry, so I don’t need to know how to code. Where I’m at when building personal applications for my home / life is: does the
