Tell me you haven't looked at Java in 15 years without telling me. Given that the vast majority of non-GC language code does a terrible job of managing memory, it's not difficult at all for the JVM to win out on efficient, reli

Top market? I'm pretty sure that's China. Speaking of bookkeeping tricks: Kneecapping renewable energy (wind), cancelling the EV future in the US, and then starting a war in the strait of hormuz will someday be acknowledged as the

So an EV is not for you! You just might be one of the unlucky 1% for whom that is true. Congratulate yourself on visiting nature while simultaneously messing it up. And enjoy the fuel prices.

Cite your own sources that they're not. And maybe try to avoid the ten year old nonsense that's frequently floated as "evidence". On recalls -- like the one that said that individual icons have to be slightly bigger ? Y

This is the right answer. AI writing code for you? Then spend that time understanding what it is writing and the fundamentals behind it. Does it work? How does it work? If you can't answer those questions, you should think carefully

Can create security risk "if you're not careful?" The security risk is created if you're careful or not. The best you can do is reduce the size of the fresh attack surface you're creating. https://infisic

Pinyin converts reading into a vocabulary exercise. China might decide to Pinyin all the things.

We're close to the tenth year of the era of Trump, so a decade of reputational loss has already taken place. It's the tenth year of leadership by men who should be home yelling at televisions and cheating on golf courses, not lead

Delete a decryption key. Good luck! I'll see you at the end of time. Break your control plane, and you can't stop the propagation of poison. Propagate the wrong trust bundle... everywhere. Also, it's not about the delete com

What's with the "outdated" adjective? There's nothing in the US market even remotely close to the X. Every other EV is a slapdash pile of hoobajoobs and knobs that can't even drive itself. Source: 45000 miles in a b

The S is faster than any other Tesla. Non-plaid S and X are much faster than non P 3 and Y. Your main point is highly valid. Why does any manufacturer bother to make anything better than a Camry? Because it makes money, of course.

Someone who owns a BMW 5 series isn't going to switch down to a new model of the 3 series. The X makes the 3 and Y feel like go karts (that are slow). The S is a missile. Fun, but not for me. The other way of looking at this: The X is

I love FSD and I know it well. I probably wouldn't feel super comfortable in a Tesla taxi. I've seen too much.

Sure. And selling the most popular car on the planet is a failure? Didn't the US government put ~$80b into rescuing GM etc, years ago? Subsidies bootstrapped the EV industry. Stupid policies mean walking away from the investment, cedin

I would. Someone in the market for a presumably profitable BMW 5 or 7 series isn't going to stay with BMW and drive a 3 series. Yearly sales of model X have been comparable to the 5 series, at least until last year when musk's pol

Tuning matters! After my daughter complained about how the toms on her new drums sounded like crap, I bought a Tune-Bot (drum tuner), asked Gemini to help me make her toms sound like Dirty Loops, and got busy. A few hours later, she pronoun

Neil Stephenson is predicting way too much of the future. Tenses are hard. Again: Stephenson predicted way too much of the present.

You forgot to bring your pump, spotter, and nail-tipped bat. If you had those I'm sure you would have been able to fight your way through and have your go juice in no more than 15 minutes.

This is a reasonable take. Perfect security isn't a thing. Hardware/Software engineers are in the business of making compromise harder, but eyes are wide open about "perfection". Confidential Computing is evolving, and i

Once, when I was a child, I remember the carefully engineered smoke stacks in Sudbury Ontario spilling out acrid smoke sideways, and then straight down into the town. Back then, Sudbury looked like Mars.

It makes me think that we need more representations of humans on and in our cities, to remind us about who they are for. We can shift a small amount of architectural scale towards the human.

This is actually rather beautiful to look at, covering a full day/night cycle. Well done.

How far are you going to haul that dirt? Trucks think only trucks can tow. I tow a 24 foot boat with an Audi Q7. Reasonably frequently, truck guys say something like "You tow that, with THAT?" Uh, yeah. 7700 pound tow capacity (ne

It didn't move the needle for you. For other people, they're going to be thinking "some other company is going to get one of the most effective and impactful performance engineers on the planet".
