Good point actually. I guess the maximum 8 driving hours per day works well if they can find a rest point near a charging station.

I'd imagine trucks would still be diesel, so it'd probably make sense just to remove some of the pumps and replace them with rapid chargers. I doubt the fuel stations themselves will disappear, just cater to a different market. OT

I have a couple of points, not really sure if they should be in one post or not, but whatever. Firstly, if you take what's written at face value, it seems there's a serious logic error in the OOM killer. If it genuinely counts sha

Lots of people are commenting on how unique it was to have a software based disk interface instead of stand alone hardware. And in a sense that is true, but also not. Around that time there were various iterations of floppy controllers, eac

Or instead, they could just continue the simple route of taxing companies via corporation tax and dividend tax without having to worry about ownership at all.

Cutting wages is legally problematic in many jurisdictions, but certainly there's a case for reducing bonus payments by the reward amount paid to others if your code was later found to be at fault and it looked like negligence that cau

I agree, but having a cap that is "the lesser of 15% of your base salary or $50K per year" means that people are going to start trading authorship of the rewards when they're anywhere close to this. Like others have said, I t

I have no intention to twist anything. I'm just saying that we only have their side of the story to say that that's what happened. They are the only source for what they claim the cops said or that they weren't asked to leave

I can't edit it now as it was posted more than 2 hours ago, but good spot. "anerobic exercise and aerobic exercise" should have read "anerobic exercise compared to anaerobic exercise".

I'm a rendering engineer and have used this term frequently. It's actually a very common technique in rendering to not always be able to easily fill in the gaps, that we frequently deliberately introduce an extra frame of latency,

I don't particularly want to argue, but even if they were invited, if they were asked to leave it would still be trespassing. We also only have their word for it that that's what they told the cops. Maybe it's true, maybe it&

> The fat loss is simple energy expenditure. But it's not, unless there is a calorie deficit. If you do aerobic exercise, almost all the energy comes from burning fat. Because your body will have used very little glucose, you'r

Exactly, I'm not sure what benefits hardware attestation offers to the government. Sure, it's potentially useful for the customer that they can trust their keys are secure on their device, but it kind of misses the point. It shoul

The problem with "price per typical-sized RAM chip as sold at the time" is not so much that it's subjective, but you'd get artificial spikes in the data. For me, the key take home from the graph as stands is that price p

Bad typesetting just indicates poor editing, not slop IMHO. I guessed after about a second of thought that this actually meant 10^6. If I had to guess how this happened, somebody just wrote their prose in Word with the 6 in superscript and

Their implementation must surely be wrong anyway (caveat: I've not looked at the code) if they're worrying about leap years for year 0 / 1BC. Leap years didn't exist prior to AD 45, and then leap centuries were added fro

\n is ^J (ctrl-J) so there's some logic there, but I wonder if something has been lost in the message. I'd guess it either displays ^J or an inverse-colour J, rather than just a plain lowercase j. Also possible that the j is a red
