Milk in glass bottles. Meat is wrapped in paper. Eggs go in a a paper carton. Cheese is tricky, most markets still wrap cut cheese in plastic, so I have to buy it from an actual ch…

There is no one command. You'd have to do it with a shell pipeline.

The outcome kinda depends on how you want to count the Linux kernel.

If your organization lacks the ability to enforce good practices, train engineers how to behave, and otherwise acculturate people to your ways then there is no particular style of …

I currently work at a company with a monorepo where they generate artifacts like protocol buffers libraries for Go and python, and check in those artifacts. That's not the way Goog…

If you want the gist of it just look at any project that has been exported from Google internals to github, I'll point to the moderately sized https://github.com/google/certificate…

You can definitely inspect the changes that have been integrated into a perforce branch with filelog and changes, it's not worth pointing out exactly how, you can find examples onl…

Why do you dislike perforce? I’ve used them all and git is the worst, in my opinion, of the ones that aren’t dead and buried (like cvs). Perforce is my fave. Internal research at g…

The article discusses it: "On a typical workday, they commit 16,000 changes to the codebase, and another 24,000 changes are committed by automated systems. " That was years ago tho…

We can just procedurally generate the comments at this point. On the one hand you need some initial comments along the lines of "I only ever use terrible tools and I just don't see…

It's 2020 and we still don't have the bike lane back.

Actually, hours after this trucker blew up the freeway, caltrans was on the streets of oakland grinding up a bike lane to make an extra lane for cars, no public input required. “Di…

Nobody in NPR's audience knows how big a kilometer or square km is.

The article does not support your conclusion. It may be that you just have to press the pedal more to get a given amount of torque.

EV design is totally different from ICE design in this regard. EV design is all about how to avoid shorting the battery across the motor. ICE UX mirrors a physical process: the thr…

That's probably just an illusion with respect to electric motorcycles. All high-performance motorcycles have way more than enough torque to overwhelm the traction of their one litt…

It does, yes. I always drive my electric Honda in its "eco mode", which only changes the response to throttle position. I get noticeably more range in that mode. In the "sport mode…

Every EV is "artificially slower" than it could be and the response to driver inputs is a totally arbitrary design decision.

Well in 1994 a CD-R without a buffer was neither cheap nor low-end. It was the only thing you could get, cost as much as a car, and was bigger than a laser printer.

BeOS didn't have a lot of stuff. For example networking. Big gap.

Not to disagree much but when Be was going around the country doing their "demo days" on the bebox nobody had a DVD player in their computer. DVD wasn't even on the market until af…

I've worked at companies where I had to take annual hour-long training sessions about not saying stuff like this in discoverable communications.

The tradeoff was the throughput of your compilation was terrible. BeOS wasn't magic, it just prioritized the UI over all else. That's not advanced, it's just one possible choice. M…

I perceived the error but I left it there so someone could gratify their pedantry. Congrats.
