That's the way I, an an EV owner, deal with long trips. I would never try to plot a course from charger to charger. That sounds annoying and dangerous. I also highly doubt that charger networks would scale. Right now there are already

Elon Musk is not an engineer. He hasn't built a thing is his entire life. His biggest accomplishment is hitching a ride on the success of Paypal before getting fired for trying to move their infrastructure to Windows (lol). My niece, o

And the once in a blue moon they do have to drive more than 300 miles, they'll need to have a spare car to do it. They'll buy their new shiny very expensive Telsa and still have to keep a gasoline-powered car around. This is a n

Tesla claims a lot of things. Their cars don't even come close to their EPA estimated range, let alone their pre-release marketing. That variant is also expected to release in 2022 and cost $70,000.

Judged by the person who thinks putting cars in tunnels is the solution to urban transit? No thanks. Your average third grader is a more qualified engineer than Elon Musk.

Orange is a shade of brown. We have a great many words for "brown", and "brown" is not named in reference to an object.

I find zero-based indexing more natural. Consider the case of dates. Dates are naturally one-indexed. There is no year zero. This means that the 21st century started in the year 2001. Likewise, the current decade started under a month ago,

As an avid hater of Bitcoin and lover of copyright infringement, I am all for that! It would be great if we could get the MPA and RIAA to kill Bitcoin for us. People would still gamble away their life's savings on other scams, like Amw

There are some stupid laws on the books, but you have picked awful examples. Only one of those laws is something a non-specialist would ever encounter, and that one is common sense. Everyone should know that burning garbage can be dangerous

Go is not a particularly safe tool. It is a simple tool. That isn't the same thing. Sophisticated type systems are designed to improve safety at the expense of adding abstraction.

As someone else noted, I am taking a swing at Go's lack of generics. More to the point, I am criticizing the reason for that. Designing a simple language is fine. I like simple languages a lot. Go was designed not because simple lang

I think Rob Pike's commentary on Go is why I decided to go into research. Google hires kilotons of developers and pays them gigadollars every year, then makes them work in dumbed-down languages because they can't be trusted with p

I've learned to be suspicious of someone's reputation when I don't know what they've done to earn it. Everyone thinks Google employs the best engineers on the planet, but I suspect the reason most people believe that is

That is entirely irrelevant to my point. Apple used its monopoly power to make its users buy an inferior product so that others would have no choice but to adapt. How many of those users, given the option, would choose to buy a machine wi

And HTML5 did not kill off Flash. People kept right on using Flash until Apple sicced millions of angry iPhone users on them. I thank Apple for Flash's demise. I had no love for Flash. What I blame Apple for is treating their custome

When I buy a computer, I want something that makes my life better. I do not want something that deliberately makes my life worse to achieve a strategic goal for Apple Computer. We saw the same thing with Flash. Apple didn't like Flash

My laptop is more secure than any cryptocurrency by a wide margin. The programming and security model of Ethereum is absolutely bonkers, with front-running bots running rampant and "smart" contracts getting their funds siphoned ev

Other people have pointed out that Trump and much of the GOP just launched a coup, so I'll leave that aside. Of course it's different from living under a fascist government. A totalitarian government would send you to a prison cam

As I said, toe to toe. The M1 and the 5950X are both clearly ahead of the Intel parts and they trade first and second place between them. On the aggregate graph (the last one on the page), you can see that the 5950x is ahead on integer work

I find that surprising. I think cryptocurrencies are the worst technology known to man, but avoiding censorship is what they are built for and their only legitimate use case.

Which Thinkpad and which distro? I've always found them reliable, but I've only used ones from about 2012 and have stuck with Ubuntu.

New computer is better than old computer. Shocking. The M1 is a good chip. It is great that we have ARM cores that can go toe-to-toe with Zen 3. It is hardly a revolution and it would not be trivial to scale it to a workstation or server de

But why? This is a private company. Why on Earth would they want to run their internal operations on Ethereum?

No it isn't. Perhaps it was intended to be and perhaps there was an allegorical meaning in earlier drafts, but the films are in fact perfectly straightforward.
