Even the simplest of projects have these engineering challenges, but people cannot see the forest for the trees when it comes to maintenance. Since I did not enter the industry wit…

Ah cool to see this on HN! I'm taking a numerical calc class right now and it's nice to get some historical context around something you're studying. I'd recommend checking out som…

- What is it? - What does it do? - Why does it do that? This could all easily fit in the top-level comments of a main() function or the help text of a CLI app. - What is the API? T…

The code, tests and comments convey what actual business rules are implemented. While documentation is someone's non-precise natural language expression of what (to the best of the…

Read the article. The emissions are net negative for the EV until you put 20K miles on it, due to the added emissions of producing the battery. After that the fossil fuel engine be…

Is it a bold claim? On that account, do you lean more towards flat earth theory?

What if you could seed probes, like the Breakthrough Starshot probes, with synthetic life that, upon reaching their destination, would develop into humanoids that would explore for…
