Contrasts with "Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight." - Bill Gates

You just won that thread. Congratulations.

Asterix is nice - that's just scratching the surface of Belgian/French cartoon though. In the same vein, I'd recommend you to dive into the work of masters like Franquin, I really …

Thank you - this is quite a find. I remember banging my head against the limitations of the HIRES mode and eventually doing everything in text mode with redefined characters - I wa…

> Let schools set and enforce their own policies. Most already were (my son's school was.) > It seems to me that the main result of having an actual legal ban is that teachers are …

Agreed - and it's been proven (citation needed) that a low calorie diet prolonges life. But here we are, needing to consume more energy because we do things (good, bad, useless or …

Which source did you use for Babylon Sisters?

And people ask me why I read HN comments. Thank you for that explanations!

Ah - well, Tesla found a way to make EV sexy and I'm sure they have very ambitious goals. I'm just hoping that what's next steps down a bit from the luxurious (at least to me) inte…

I'm fortunate enough (no pun) to be willing to spend money on an EV and I just don't find what I want. I understand Tesla had to produce vehicles like these to make people realize …

Alas not yet.

I'm not exactly implying that buying a car to show off and assert status is reprehensible. Have I touched a nerve? Anyways - I'm just saying that I hope EV manufacturer move up (or…

Nice but still not what I need. I need a long range electric car whose interior I won't be afraid to damage from time to time. I need something that moves me, my family and my stuf…

Raising the price of gas in the mid 70s made it possible to get very sober vehicles, so this might work as well. Of course, it's far enough in the future that it can be canceled an…

Same here - not a the same level though :-) Undisclosed location from the European Alps - I've always worked remotely, even when my company HQs were in Sunnyvale and I was living a…

I work for the big G. and I work from home. There's a couple hundred employees that work full time from home, a minuscule amount in comparison to the work force. I travel to the of…

50 and coding. There's nothing more satisfactory that carefully crafted code. Or maybe just releasing something and mostly never looking back because it. just. works.
