    I don't know much about other Musk companies. But if you claim that SpaceX isn't the leading Space company by a huge margin , or that their execution is somehow behind any other sp…

    Why rewriting it in js help with maintenance? This is not a snarky question, I'm genuinely curious since I personally have no problem coming back to old clojure code.

    Plenty of ventures back by big names end up dead. Even when Amazon or GM themselves execute a new product, it's no where near a guaranteed success... Tesla has products and paying …

    Metric ton sounds redundant to me. Does the US have the notion of a "imperial ton"? (1000lbs?)

    In my experience, not a lot of developers manage to organize their thoughts well enough to write them down. Maybe you manage to work with only people who can write down their thoug…

    Do you have examples of such proper landfill, as well as their cost vs capacity? It sounds awfully expensive for a trash stock pile.

    It's incredible how you trivialize SpaceX achievements. I get it that you probably hate Elon Musk for whatever reason. But you should really calibrate your bias filter.

    Statistically, I move every three year so far. I do have a lot of stuff though, last time it took half a shipping container for everything. If I extend your logics for my case, I s…

    If there is only one thing I can complain about vim/vi, it's the esc key. The key is too far away to reach easily. It is most accessible with the little finger, which is our weakne…

    A great thing about Macbook Pro is their high resell value. I plan to sell my 2014 MBP when I get this. I'd lose around 20-30% for one year of utilisation, good enough for me.

    Never say never. I love my MBP but the Surface Note has me salivating. If it works well then I'll sell the MBP. OneNote with pen is just amazing. Coupled with the detachable high q…

    I've been living here for 7 years, worked for 3 different companies. I suppose I have a bit more anecdotes than your dozen of times. There are places are people don't seem to do an…

    Can you give us some examples? I can't fathom how someone who cannot understand the math formula can understand the code.
