If you noticed, the article talked about aerodynamics in terms of frontal area and side fairings - on other words, the parts of the tractor interacting with the airstream. The trailer's leading edge is, well, a large, flat, un-aerody

10% fuel savings only matters if you never have to think about maintenance costs. Same with the replacement cost for tires, although to me the tire efficiency is a bigger multiplier since they aren't replaced as often as the fuel tanks

C# is definitely more flexible than Go, which is by design on both sides. Not an argument for one or the other. Go's restrictiveness can be seen as a benefit, C#'s flexibility can be seen as a time waster. > ...or even a new la

I think you read my previous comment as an argument against what I was replying to. I was actually agreeing with them and acknowledging they have a great point.

I think you're confusing what an OS provides with the concept of configuration maintenance, esp "plug and play." Or to make my point more clearly, all the configuration you listed still must be done for an OS by something o

I think this is the biggest argument for an OS. The OS is a virtual Nanny or representative of yourself. It does what you would do if you could control the machine: provide security for data, keep code from running through fences, and ensur

Anarchy isn't the only solution, but it makes a great knee-jerk reaction when trust fails. Probably the more valued (ie, safety, food, etc) the more the radical the reaction, I would guess.
