Why not? VBA is confusing and outdated. If they ported macros to JS I think a lot more people would be comfortable with it. In the same vein being able to stay in Excel's formula language instead of teaching yourself VBA seems a lot mo

It would be much more likely for Tesla to start a Formula E team, since F1 uses gas.

This...is entirely the point OP is making. You get more brain power to watch out for the semi jackknifing into you, the car switching lanes without signaling, the truck about to lose a bucket or chair from its bed. This is stuff you may no

FWIW my bank uses 2FA and it works with Plaid. Plaid has a working 2FA authorization process, they might just not have implemented with every portal yet.

We are sending helicopters for evacuation. In fact, we are literally sending the same ones: the helicopter linked below also performed evac in Saigon. https://www.helis.com/database/cn/8983/

The FAA is not a workers protection agency. That's OSHA and as far as I'm aware SpaceX does not have a (public) problem with them. The FAA is in charge of regulating airspace. SpaceX's fight with them is about determining how

Using open source code and tools doesn't work if you don't know how to code. Paying someone else to do the work for you is no different from the current model and makes you dependent on their company leadership and business model.

I think our fundamental disconnect is that you see a world in which all software is unique, special, and does completely different things. I see a world where every website I use has the same stupid follow button that does the same stupid t

Because modern coding is still too low level to allow quick development of full blown applications. It would be really annoying if you had to tell a Subway employee behind the counter how to use their hands to pick up ingredients, how many

No, because programming wraps around the instruction-based model that processors use to execute programs. When you elevator pitch a product, you don't give them a list of instructions the product carries out, you tell them what the pro

Declarative goal based development. You type in English what you want the application to do, and some developer tool generates thousands of variants (maybe through a genetic algorithm?) until you reach a design and functionality you're

I've tried Vim before, and I want to love it, but I never found myself able to enjoy using it as much as VS Code. I know I can probably replicate all the functionality I need with plugins, but at that point it feels like switching for

Yeah...but at the same time, it's not like normal people are going to know about it, certainly nobody would bring it up in a corporate environment or risk outing themselves as some kind of weirdo, so it's probably fine? It's

Does it need to be commercially relevant? I mean, to me it's just kind of cool...and isn't that a good enough reason to pursue it?
