    Wonder if they will ever fix upload progress using XHR, pretty annoying to not be able show accurate progress to the user when using larger chunk sizes: https://bugs.webkit.org/sho…

    MSSQL can handle 32k open connections no need to run a pooler in front of it, can PG do 32k connections and a process for each? MSSQL shares cached query plans between connections …

    Interesting I have definitely used the distinction between null and empty string quite a bit in MSSQL and matches most programming languages. Another issue that used to exist was O…

    Each PG connection being a whole process does not scale like MSSQL that uses a thread per connection which has a max of 32k per instance. There are no need for connection poolers i…

    I also miss clustered indexes, datetimeoffest, plan caching and query hints from MSSQL.

    I don't agree, a relational database is not required to have a particular storage engine or format, that is an implementation detail. There are other relational databases that have…

    The machine is easily overridable by disabling FSD... Modern cars will auto brake if sensors detect what it thinks is an imminent collision regardless of accelerator position: http…

    Sorry the difference between 70mph and 15mph is a 20x difference in kinetic energy completely different outcomes.

    Moving off a railroad track at what maybe 15mph max is very different than doing 70mph down a cut de sac double the posted speed limit. I am not saying FSD should prevent any forwa…

    I guess that seems ridiculous to me. I could understand if its some sort of government regulation, but if you want to ram a house or anything else or go double the posted speed lim…

    Comment #48666232

    That is the current public information if it is true is only the driver at fault? What are the alternatives? FSD on and no driver input? FSD off and driver rammed house without ass…

    Comment #48666218

    Why does the FSD blindly accept accelerator input in the face of a dead end cul de sac with much lower speed limit? Is this some sort of regulation? I have driven normal cars that …

    Comment #48666013

    So my understanding is the telemetry shows the FSD was on and driver held the accelerator down the whole time and the car did 70+ mph into the home. Tesla proponents say it’s the d…

    Why EAC3 compressed audio instead of uncompressed PCM in Dolby MAT like an Apple TV? E-ARC has the bandwidth for 32 channel/object uncompressed Atmos no need to do EAC3 compression…

    These are typically LFP batteries that already have significantly longer cycle life and are a much more stable chemistry than the NCA / NCM cells in normally found in western cars.…

    I understand what a differential probe does, what I don't understand is why they are so expensive. Again one can get a whole USB differential scope for the same price or less. Seem…

    Why are differential probes so expensive and why don't more scopes just have differential port built in? For about $300 you can buy a Tiepie differential usb scope: https://www.tie…
