    I think we should ban all billboards. We deserve as a species to have spaces where we are not being advertised to.

    Could we also consider just not connecting critical systems to the internet at large? No reason, for example, for the Jaguar assembly line to depend on an internet connection.

    I mean, I also don't know Bun and Vite. I've at least seen React. You should probably just explain the whole stack.

    Answer's in the article. There is a screen behind the wheel for the speedometer, odometer, etc. The backup cam displays there.

    This is amazing. I hope it succeeds. If I had any use for a truck I'd be lining up to buy one. They make one in a compact sedan or hatchback form factor and I am in. Heck, even bet…

    I feel like once a language is standardized (or reaches 1.0), that's it. You're done. No more changes. You wanna make improvements? Try out some new ideas? Fine, do that in a new l…

    There's a special place in hell for orgs that do this. Google has been doing the same thing with Android. IIRC Apple at least has always been fairly clear and consistent with what …

    I wonder, does it just let you draw pictures based on the as-advertised color and resolution limitations, or does it take into account clever programming tricks that can increase t…

    Having worked professionally with both C++ and Objective-C[0], I greatly prefer the latter. I'm not in love with either of them, but Objective-C feels so clean and well-thought out…

    > Also a 19,000 line C++ program(this is tiny) does not take 45 minutes unless something is seriously broken Agreed, 45 minutes is insane. In my experience, and this does depend on…

    I think end-users should always be empowered to be cavalier with their own cybersecurity. Organizations managing the data of others, however, should be held to a higher standard. I…

    I think we're basically describing the same thing. Asking a software engineering process to be the same as a physical engineering process is not realistic. A PE for SEs would look …

    How is creating a professional certification a technical solution? This sounds like a people solution to a people problem.

    I feel like requiring software "engineers" to be actual capital E Engineers would fix a lot of problems in our industry. You can't build even a small bridge without a PE, because w…

    It's not about visual quality so much as the complete inability of Atari to understand that people's taste in games had moved on. In 1986, Super Mario Bros was still hottest game i…

    Well, there was the Amiga, but in all fairness it was first conceived as a game console and then worked into a computer.

    It's fiction, but the NEAL Stephenson novel Anathem explored this idea.
