I have a Dell XPS 15 at work and it's so difficult to install and setup Linux between the M2 SSD drive and the Nvidia Optimus GPU. Would not recommend.

I understand what you're saying but I'm just not sure I'm prepared to wait at a service station for an hour or more to recharge my car.

Today I drove from the south east to the Lake District - a distance of about 400 miles. I made 3 5-10 minute stops en route for food, toilet and one for fuel. I found that once I'd stopped for 10 minutes I just wanted to get going again and get to my destination. I'm really not sure I would be happy hanging around a service on the M6 toll road for 1-2 hours because I needed to recharge my car.

I don't often do long trips, perhaps 2-3x a year, but when I do I really just want to get to my destination as soon as possible.

Having spoken to a number of friends and people I haven’t met on the Facebook groups I was in (theme was all car enthusiasts) - not one of them cared. Their arguments were that Facebook knows everything about them anyway. My flatmate also gave he same opinion when I asked her. I can only assume that the general public just don’t care or feel that they have bigger things to worry about.

I just bought an A6000 mirrorless camera and love it! I’ve had it for a couple of weeks and so far it’s been great. Low light shooting is excellent and 1080p 60FPS video is nice. I don’t care for the integrated WiFi so don’t use it.

I’m not sure I’d agree. The Model S is quite prone to understeer, and it’s not just slight understeer but real unrelenting understeer. I’m not sure how though because there isn’t a lot of weight over the front axle that would cause the nose to push wide so perhaps it’s because of how the suspension is setup. This is quite unlike the BMW M5, for example.

> I turned left on to the main road, and began to move up through the gears. That’s when a car coming towards me flashed its lights. This used to happen to me a lot in the Mini. So much that a couple of years earlier I’d taken it back to BMW to get it checked; yes, my headlights were wrongly adjusted and I had inadvertently been annoying other drivers. So when this driver flashed, I instinctively flashed back: “No, those aren’t my main beams – these are, see?” > The time between my flash and the impact was infinitesimal.

I’m having a hard time understanding the crash as there is so much information absent from the article.

What kind of main road was this? Was it in a town or a A road between two towns? Was it designed for pedestrian usage (there are lots of A roads in the U.K which are not designed for pedestrian usage. These roads are often known as BYPASS roads and are designed to keep motor vehicles out of town centres). Was it street lit? Given the fact that the other driver flashed him I would think not? What was the speed limit? Was it appropriate for the road?

While Coinbase might have scaled their support, it’s also important to highlight than the number of tickets received in the first 3 months of 2018 is nothing compared to that of the end of 2017 (the Bitcoin network fee crisis).

Given the size of the support team now, would Coinbase still get backlogged if we were to have a repeat of that time?

What is the catchment range for new (inexperienced) drivers? 18-25? There are a lot of people who have been driving for a long time who are not good at driving at all and lack all kind of self awareness. For example, following the car in front too close.

Could one look at it more like viewstamped replication rather than traditional consensus?

Sure, he is making 3x now, but there are a lot of people in the U.S who do not have healthcare or fall into real debt financing it.

On a side note, the NHS crisis worries me a lot, but I’m thinking it must be better than no public health care at all, right?

Does a P100D have a gearbox? I thought it was single speed. It also has a mountain of torque and power.

What I find odd is how does a car with 400PS and almost 700NM of torque max out at 124mph? In comparison a Jaguar F-Pace 3.0, which has 375PS and 430NM torque will max out at (limited) top speed of 155MPH.

The iPace weights just 300KG more than the F-Pace, so it’s not down to extra weight alone.

The weight is substantial. The Lithium-ion packs in the Model S, for example, weighs over 500KG. One of the largest engines in a current production car, the Dodge 8.4L V10, is 42% lighter. Smaller turbo petrols weigh just a fraction of that.

(I am comparing just the weights of the power plants, not the power plant + drivetrain which would include gearboxes, differentials and electric motors).

I saw a horrific case the other week where an internal recruiter cut and paste the feedback from an engineer verbatim. The candidate received feedback which said and I quote “You’d have to be a madman to have used X in 2017”.

We use a monorepo at our place of work and it’s great, so far. We also use govendor to manage external dependencies in the monorepo. We are rigorous about keeping packages up to date so have never had to run v1 and v2 of a package at the same time.
