Consumer Reports agrees: Tesla is the least reliable American car, by maintenance cost. Reports are that if anything substantial needs fixing , it it cheaper to discard the car and buy another one used. What the US public chooses to buy is,

Hydrogen will be important, just not necessarily for personal vehicles. But it still could be, if battery cost bottoms out. A hydrogen/fuel cell car weighs much less than a battery car, or even an ICE car. Making H2 at home may end

The impact of Willowdale discovering you are gay and ejecting you is limited specifically because they (I assume) don't maintain a blacklist in coordination with Springfield.

There is zero value in refcounting for tree node lifetimes. DAGs, only sometimes. Graphs are rarely as general as textbooks usually imply, although it is easy to find (e.g. geographical) examples that are. Fully manual memory management has

Discord can automate it; and their membership is worldwide, encompassing a radically wider network effect. Ejection from Willowdale Odd Fellows does not keep you out of Springfield Odd Fellows.

Runtime assistance coupled via the type system is fully as legitimate as GC. Your example with "up" pointers in a pointer-linked tree (or DAG) structure is very easily handled that way. General graphs are, as I noted, better handl

Hundreds of millions did! MS apologists always astonish me. Even extreme IE bugginess was to try to defend their installed-app business.

I am suggesting making on a new, less volatile platform, and announcing via a burner Discord account.

No, he is just very often egregiously wrong, but in ways that we have become desensitized enough to find often hard to tease out. Usually the Howler may be traced via his inclination to treat whatever he did while at Microsoft as inherent

Dextromethorphan is available over-the-counter in the US and, I believe, most places. A single dose of ketamine was discovered a couple of years back to provide a complete remission for weeks, for some varieties of depression including some

The people you need to communicate with are not on Matrix or Mastodon. "Private" clubs and golf courses banning only Jewish and black people are not allowed anymore, for reasons.

A burner account, used just to announce a new platform?

Slightly off topic, but the US FDA has just approved an analog of the miraculous ketamine depression treatment. Basically you can chug a 4oz /100 ml of dextromethorphan (US brand "Delsym") for the same effect, a couple of w

Sometimes do, sometimes don't. It all depends on politics. Some people have opinions on how much court "activism" should be allowed, but they reliably flip the script when one of their pet topics shows up. People used to insi

You are in luck: ML, Haskell, and C++ all support powerful type systems. Rust's has been growing in power, coming from behind. Its recent addition of an analog to C++'s numeric template arguments was a big improvement. Meanwhile,

If you thought I was hustling something -oriented design, you missed the point. And, if you think that a type system can be no help with some family of data structures, it can only because you are unfamiliar with powerful type systems. Rus

Billg did way, way more than meet Epstein a few times. We have records of Epstein directing Gates to send money to people. Clearly Epstein's primary business was extortion, with a sideline in sex slavery to generate leads for his extor

Even moreso: Microsoft actively retarded development in the field. Before Microsoft, if it didn't work, you sent it back and demanded a refund. Crashing was plenty reason to demand and get a refund. It was Microsoft that got people to

The point is that the bug appears in many programs, particularly C and C-like whatever, and, apparently, Google programs. You could try to claim they are in all programs, but your selection-bias slip is showing. Programs they are not in
