Chinese cars, some with lead-acid batteries, some with lithium-ion. The price of the car is mainly determined by the batteries it holds. The rest of the car is usually cheaply made. Some cheaper ones feel like they don't have any shock

The $8,000 price I quoted is after heavy subsidies. I imagine that used Nissan Leaf price is also after subsidies. If electric cars become mainstream I wonder what will happen with subsidies.

I can't believe he's comparing a $70,000 electric car to a huge bucket labeled "old-fashioned gasoline cars". Of course the $70,000 car is better in almost every way. I've driven a lot of electric cars in the $5,000

What about using the Tiled map editor? [1] Maybe your project could support features of maps created in Tiled out of the box. 1. http://www.mapeditor.org/

I like how this is aimed at beginners (non-programmers). Although I don't think it's really possible for a complete neophyte to pick up this project and make something, it seems like it could become a part of an even more basic co

It's a well-done site. I had to go back and look carefully to even notice that the views in the eyepieces were not rendered in proper perspective.

I wish there was more information about the kind of data corruption caused by Attic. Is there a related issue here? [1] 1. https://github.com/jborg/attic/search?q=corrupt&type=Issues&...

That kind of consideration is synonymous with "give us more money" in my book. For developers who are willing to develop for iOS but don't use Macs, why not give them a bone and let them develop on a VM? Apple still makes mon

I didn't expect anything but a multiplayer proxy. If it was truly an emulator in 77 lines it must be horribly obfuscated.

Why assume he's rich? Maybe living in the mountains is cheap. Maybe he saved before moving there. There is some choice between working/consuming less and working/consuming more. He's advocating the former.

Isn't Genuino unique enough? And it's a clever play on the original name (genuine with an -uino suffix like the original).

Wouldn't the sale of the property by the city offset the cost of reconfiguring the infrastructure? It seems even likely to make a profit considering property values.

Can't see who's playing. Is it a recording or some sort of MIDI performance?

Yes, when I saw the git example I immediately thought of magit for Emacs which can also jump around files and commits from within git results.

I'm concerned about what Even's actual business model might be. It's hard to imagine that it doesn't involve somehow skimming a portion of the salaries they manage. Even if it's a tiny percentage, it seems like it w

Sounds like a win-win to me. You can drop in on people who welcome interruptions and others can get their work done.

I think we all use code to make things. However, not caring about the code can spell disaster for the thing we're making. In the case of Minecraft it appears the code is good enough but I wonder how many more features would exist if it

For anyone looking for an answer, I found a good guide: http://slicingpie.com/ The author has a couple of books on the subject as well as videos and slideshows. It works for any type of business. It's a pretty comprehe

I just started using git-annex to backup my photos to Amazon Glacier. It's really powerful in that it allows you to specify the minimum number of backup copies, whether or not to "trust" a remote repo, and can automatically s

I ran it against a deploy script generated by Mina [1]. Only a few deprecation warnings and notes about using find instead of ls to better handle non-alphanumeric filenames. I've learned a lot about error handling by reading Mina-gener

The dual digit displays are probably simply encased LEDs but it would be nice if there was a way to expose the inside of those too. Aesthetically they seem out of place.

Overall I'm very pleased with my Nexus 4 after two years of use. I've also used Apple devices and I've had my share of issues, some of which I consider far worse. Here are some problems I've encountered with the iPad Air
