It is a misconception that mainstay Linux distributions have any sort of hardware or software incompatibility (aside from Mac- or Windows-only targeted software). That said, you ar…

I managed to break the tool by inputting some infeasible inputs and then changing them again several times, and then refreshing the page.

Don't bother with hybrids if all of the shortcomings are covered with gasoline. A good EV or a good gasoline car are both better than a hybrid, so what is the point? Who wants to b…

They include scripts to check code quality. Perhaps those should be set up with a pre-commit git hook to ensure they get used.

This is not splitting hairs! These are basic facts. The whole idea behind Tesla and Solar City is to have solar power generation and electric cars. 100% clean and renewable, and th…

Well, it shouldn't drive you nuts. That implies that the truth drives you nuts. WW2 didn't look great before the USA stepped in. World wide innovation has been driven by the USA in…

Despite your erroneous reply, you still hit 4th most upvoted comment thanks to the pro-open source sentiment here.

Facebook, Google, Amazon, and every other huge company are huge because of their monopolies. Tesla would be making a massive mistake to not start walling in their garden.

To prove that Vim is faster than a graphical editor as well, I might make a WebM where I edit two identical files, one with notepad++ and one with Vim. Would you appreciate that? I…

I have replied to the other commenting wondering about Vim but I will say it here as well: Learning to get fast with Vim is incredibly rewarding. It is tough to memorize everything…

> it just doesn't make sense to me. Here's how to think of Vim that will make sense. Suppose you have two identical codebases that each need to have the same 200 lines changed. Fun…

During development, I have to check the browser's inspector periodically to see what my console.log()'s are saying. This leads to having two browser windows open: The browser and t…

> what is it that I could say that you would listen to? I am looking to build a single-page app that communicates with a server several times per second. The idea is to have some p…

For you to have such a strong opinion on so many topics, you must know the in's and out's of Systems Administration. Would you consider writing tutorials or a blog about best pract…

It is important that tech growth continues for a long time. I am very concerned that ad-based revenue will not sustain forever. We need more physical goods and more faith in techno…

> it's sold as a camera on your face Exactly why comparisons to google glass miss the point. Totally different products and userbases

Yeah and you know what userbase that is? Product hungry 15 year olds whose identity is tied to superficial shit just like this. Apple should have taught us something: People do not…

You say 'realistically' but you're speculating that they are losing appeal and that they won't try and sell another product. The only thing to realize is they have a $100+ device t…

If Snapchat is able to sell this product to only 5% of their 150M userbase that's 7.5M * $130 = 1B in revenue. Then they diversify their future product line somehow and keep sellin…

These glasses are going to be a huge hit thanks to their style. The main userbase of snapchat are product-hungy 12-25 year olds without much conviction; they'll jump at the chance …

At this point, your baseless bias against Tesla should be clear to yourself. If you can take this revelation with humility, that you have been advocating against the exact thing th…

That is totally a reasonable thing to suggest, and examining it brings to light the importance of Tesla. Government is like Thor's hammer. If you can wield it, you wield tremendous…

>"only superhumans who work 80 hour weeks can accomplish great things" is not the kind of effect I want on society. We have enough of that as it is. We need less of it, not more. I…

still want to? just write something in this simple app i'm serving and I'll check it out. deppth.me/tasks afterwards, go back and check to see if I left a reply.

Thanks for the response. Elon definitely is not a fluke like you imply. He is not the best eng but it is his relentless work ethic (read: no other timesink in his life at all) that…
