I think the fact that the human didn’t intervene means that no, human eye can’t see further in these conditions. There’s more to eyesight than maximum possible sensitivity and no the driver’s night vision is not going to be particularly goo

That is your interpretation of shopping carts in web stores. Other people add things to their cart as they need to replace eg: items in the stationery cupboard, then checkout once a week. Some people use the cart as a form of Wishlist, or a

Human vision is the problem here, not bad drivers. Are you going to accuse pilots of being bad at their jobs when they can't fly a plane while a laser is pointed in their eyes?

My complaint isn't about build times, it's about dark repositories which aren't just mirrors of offical repositories but also contain home-grown packages such as "Company X custom VirtualBox Ubuntu box for VMWare" w

I wish I had the time to sit down for a bourbon and a chat with you but in order to earn my $26k salary I have to repeatedly unearth these ancient systems, divine how they were supposed to work, repair them to a state where they don't

I guarantee they are not aware of the ramifications of what they wrote. They live in the now, following the contemporary paradigm. I live in the five years future where the propeller head rock star programmer has moved to greener pastures (

Building an internal repository of any kind is not hard at all for you today . For me, five years after you left the company it’s a pain the arse because all your code refers to this repository that doesn’t exist, the one with the custom p

Where are the electric cars from all the traditional manufacturers? Lucid and Rivian are starting to roll out production vehicles after years of failing to deliver more than vapour and promises. Solar roof has been deployed and you can read

Games being played on the screen in front of the driver is not a good idea, it’s just another distraction with motion and blinking lights that even the most disciplined driver can’t ignore.

I am not sure why you are attributing motive to me when I am simply pointing out the flaws in an anti-masker’s supposed supporting evidence.

The Danish study is self reported with no policing of wearing a mask correctly at appropriate times and always using clean masks (not reusing masks from day to day). > Inconclusive results, missing data, variable adherence, patient-repor

A cart needs to be designed, tested and built before you get the horse to pull it. For there to be a horse and cart the cart necessarily needs to exist before the horse can pull it. What is really going to bake your noodle is that there is

The car tells you "please keep your hands on the wheel". It then proceeds to nag you if you don't put enough torque on the wheel, and then brings the car to a halt in the middle of the road. Please don't propagate myths
