These comments are weird. Everybody is stretching the truth to some degree but these claims are pretty bold.

No question this is coming. But I think the current car manufacturers are very well positioned to ride that wave. I don’t see much room for startups there.

Manufacturing is understood and still hard because you have to execute well every day. With software once you are done it’s easy to replicate. Guess why the phone market is donated by hardware manufacturers? Because it’s hard to produce a p

If a majority of the population used a rocket daily then the numbers would be different. The number of people killed per space flight is probably a little higher than the number if people killed per drive in a car.

Dream on. Cars aren’t software.

Same with depressing literature. When I am in depressed mood then listening/reading depressing material gives me peace. When you have depression you generally don’t get much acceptance so it’s nice to be allowed to be as you are and no

Facebook has me as “African American cultural affiliated” but when you look at me you would think that I am a white middle aged male. Maybe they know more about us than we do? :)

I don’t think that distinction is helpful in this context.

Does anyone know why they don't update the built-in apps more frequently? Paint, Notepad, Wordpad and others are pretty much remnants from the Win95 days. On some controlled machines it would be a godsend if Windows had a better built

The content of the $$ is a string so it can be anything including invalid variable names or unknown variables. There is nothing the compiler can do. In C it's totally deterministic.

I think if PHP is the only language you know this pattern probably feels extremely elegant. The JS guys also like to do stuff like this.

It's not a great practice but super common. I have seen code like $i = "j": $$i = 3; WTF?

When you think about how dynamic PHP is wouldn't you pretty much end up with the source code and a PHP Interpreter baked together into a binary?

Retrospectives are great if they actually lead to change. Unfortunately that’s often not the case. The same issues keep coming up repeatedly and soon the retrospective is just another chore. I would love to see retrospectives where managers

Only a small percentage of prisons are private so I don’t believe this plays much of a role. In the end US society just likes to punish people and to be “tough”.
