Sure! If I'm completely honest I am quite happy for people to identify however they like. I have no preference or agenda whatsoever. It's not something I give a huge amount of thou…

It depends. If we're talking about someone's "sex" then I'd say their gentials. If we're talking about their gender then I think it could quite easily mean to be how they personall…

I would love to, I'm not sure we will have the Model 3 in the U.K for quite some time still. I'll give it a go when they're available and hopefully report back on a future article!…

Of course, ICE powertrains have lots of moving parts, but the comparison that EV cars are simple is just not an accurate representation of EV cars. There are fewer moving parts, I …

I'd like to refute the point about brakes. A lot of it is based on the driver, not just the vehicle. I've driven a manual all my life. I don't really enjoy automatics, and I've got…

As far as I understand the current state of EVs, EVs have eliminated the engine and it's ancillaries. However, EVs still have CV joints, differentials (dependent on the car, Tesla …

I'm concerned like this a quite a blanket statement. Are all EVs that much simpler? There are simple EV drivetrains and there are complex EV drivetrains. Not all EV drivetrains are…

I would presume electric drive trains are quite complex. You'd have independent electric motors on at least 2, perhaps all 4 wheels. You have to redesign entire platforms to fit ba…

I don't understand why you're being downvoted, this sounds a like perfectly reasonable comment.

Toyota have traditionally built their reputation of quality by conservativly adopting new technology, especially when it comes to drivetrains. I'm not aware of any Toyota vehicles …

Does Steve need an ad to remind him that he likes the BMW 3 series? No doubt one of the first steps he took after his promotion was look up the prices, or finance offers on BMW 3 s…

It could slice on bytes and return a slice of bytes since the String type is a wrapper over Vec .

TIL! I'm still learning Rust so it's good to learn this now! Thanks!

One thing I don't like about Rust is how taking a slice of a string can cause a runtime panic if the start or end of the slice ends up intersecting a multi-byte UTF-8 char. I would…

I treat my phones the same, and I thought "I'll never drop this", until you do. Both times I've dropped the phone getting in or out of the car. First time it landed face first on t…

That may be so, but the fact is that I can't buy a new 64GB iPhone 7. The trouble with a glass back is that it can still shatter when dropped even if it has a case on it.

I don't want a 7 because it comes in either 32GB or 256GB, no 64GB or 128GB. I don't want an 8 because I don't want a phone with a glass back. iPhone SE was perfect. Metal all roun…

But I don't want an iPhone 7 or an 8. And it makes no sense that Apple sell both the 7 and the 8. Apple should make a phone like the SE which is made for the low-mid market, not ju…

Maybe just delete your email account? It geniunely sounds like you don't need one.

This is complete nonsense.
