My faulty memory is the only source - looks like I was remembering that he became CEO in 2008. The Wikipedia article for the model S says they began design in 2007.

The days when it was exciting to see a Tesla model S seem like a distant memory now. Elon wasn't even at Tesla when they started the model S design. The US EV tax credit had not begun, and Obama was still just the junior senator from I

I wondered for a while why I got so many ads targeted towards seniors when I made my facebook account as a kid. Then I remembered my birth year was set to 1905. I guess I should let the Guinness World Records know that their listing for old

For those like me wondering what in this syllabus they should be looking at, the key bit is the required reading in the middle of the second page: "Plato, excerpts from Symposium" instead of just "Plato's Symposium"

Talking about "concern for secondary effects like autism" legitimizes the theory, whether you wanted to or not; that's why the person you responded to got annoyed.

Someone replied to that post "notice how fast everything is to launch", but did Visual Basic really start up that fast back in the day? I'm old enough to have used XP as a kid, and I remember the languorous boot times, but I

This feels like prolog, although I don't remember much about prolog apart from writing about 3 lines to get a CS degree. What puts this apart from prolog? (And are there, you know, reasons for using the language?)

Welcome to Earth. Some countries use different unit systems. (Some even use a hodge podge of multiple systems!) Please enjoy your stay.

It would be annoying for me to use paper with such strange dimensions. 8.5 x 11, 11 x 17, etc are much easier measurements for me to remember. The root 2 thing with European paper is pleasing though.

I think it's probably a mop that spreads odors instead of getting rid of them.

Fun to mess around with. The qwerty keyboard maps nicely (for the default tuning you gave anyway). I found I wanted to be able to hold a chord on the keyboard and play a melody with the mouse, but the system only responds to either the keyb

If you agree with the above comment, doesn't that make you an atheist, not agnostic?

Already supported by Democrats. Are you talking about abortion? Pro choice folks usually don't think of having an abortion as murder.

I love the use of emoji in that animated scene! I would never have guessed; I only found out from looking at the raw HTML.

Considering the marquee tag works in basically all browsers [1], has anyone here actually found a good, unironic use for it in today's world of crazy CSS animations? [1]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs&#x

It's too damn small. Firefox automatically scales it up to 12px (as does Chrome I think), and even then I zoom in to 130% to get the font to 15.6px. On the home page the text that tells you who the poster is, how many upvotes and comme

Considering Hacker News thinks font-size:9pt is acceptable for body text in 2025, don't hold your breath.

That story rang a bell, and I was about to comment about 112 redirecting to 911 (precisely because 112 was easier to dial), then realized I had commented the same thing a year ago when I first saw the post
