C++/CX came out in 2011. The C++14 constexpr stuff didn't make it into Clang and gcc until last year.

In the case of Tesla you mean? One look at the Lotus Elise and you'll see they weren't exactly going for aerodynamics. Tesla barely survived the launch, so it wasn't going to happen back then. This is one of those "in hi

They do: even pedestrian looking Audis and Mazdas from a few years ago beat this retrofit by quite some margin. And the Tesla Model S is 0.24.

Since you're asking a math question the answer is "yes of course." However having owned an Elise and driven a Tesla Roadster I will confirm that strapping the equivalent in weight of an entire F1 car in batteries to the botto

My Audi A6 has a Cd of 0.26. Comparing it to F1 makes no sense. They're open wheel.

The tradeoff on a FFT is time vs frequency. So you can have either accurate time data or accurate frequency information. If two notes cross a time window you're going to get the note in between. But if you shrink the time, then you don

Agree, with caveats: in the context of vocal tuning there's often a desired note that represents the melody. And objectively there's often a note that a musician intended to play. Even if the instrument and signal path cooperate t

So, so many words. But you can stop reading right here: "The track was from a CD and therefore suffers from compression issues. That is, some of the frequencies may be missing due to the method employed to fit everything on the CD&quot

For those old timers who did distributed systems work there's not that much new under the sun. I look at something like this and say "ah, a quirky and somewhat dangerous cache layer." What's different is bloggers promoti

It's hard to imagine someone who wouldn't be turned off by the tone of this article. Kicker is the quote at the end: "If you are in a typical enterprise then maybe you are lucky and already doing most of this." I went lo

Matt, I appreciate you reaching out. Especially since you're a long-established contributor to the world of tech using your real name and I'm using a week-old moniker representing a Mexican food product. Some history: I'm som

Muni bond interest is interest dividend income; has nothing to do with capital gains or AMT or whatever else you Googled. I lived in California and received 1099-DIV -- have you? For a Googler making a big salary, that's 39.6% Federal

Matt Cutts bought federal tax-free and California muni (also tax free for him) bonds. The point of my speaking up was pointing out how odd, narrow, and narrowly-specific his recommendations are. You've now added your voice to the choru

Worldwide bond market is $82 trillion. Larger than the entire stock market. Meanwhile "Retric" on HN says bonds are pointless. Hmm.

Getting the same return on a bond investment as a stock investment is not the goal. Diversification into fixed income reduces risk (specifically volatility) which is important when you need the money at a predicted date. See this link, prov

Schwab is also aggressively pricing their ETFs vs Vanguard, beating them in many cases. Not worth switching, but "Vanguard is Best" isn't the rule either.

The tone is far too authoritative given the narrow experience of the author. Reading an Googler's quickie blogpost investment guide isn't the path to financial independence. It's barely the bot-filled advice of /r/p

Reasons for "why" not often discussed: 1) Vista consumed the top systems devs at Microsoft for seven years 2) the IE team wasn't "disbanded" so much as loyal to management at Microsoft that was discarded (Brad Silve

There was no "conviction" (it's not a criminal case) - the judge's findings of fact centered on 1) monopoly & monopolistic behavior and 2) "tying" - specifically saying that a browser was a part of the oper

This too is a narrow view. Another way to look at it is that people were building apps in the browser and they needed to do real stuff. Browser apps needed to talk to devices, legacy systems, card readers, EEPROM programmers, medical imager

Microsoft tied browser development to OS development. After Windows XP (Oct 2001) they didn't release an OS until Vista (Jan 2007). Things far, far more important to Microsoft's overall strategy than HTML parsing stalled during th
