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 thought to really.

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 personally identify.

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 agree. The architecture itself is simpler too, I agree. But

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 to the point now where I've pretty

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 runs an open differential), independent suspension - al

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 the same. This also applies to ICE. Most ICE drivetrai

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 batteries, ensure the batteries and the drivetrain have a

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 sold in the U.K that have a turbocharger, except the Su

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 series, perhaps create a spec and then talk to his partner ab

It could slice on bytes and return a slice of bytes since the String type is a wrapper over Vec<u8>.

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 prefer it if this feature didn't exist at all rat

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 the garage floor and shattered the screen

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.

by throw0u1t 8y ago
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 round, small, affordable, powerful.

by throw0u1t 8y ago
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 just discount its old models.

What algorithm questions did they ask?

You're talking about the Drop trait? I'm learning Rust coming from Go. It looks cool, but it also concerns me how most data structures in the stdlib use unsafe blocks to defeat the borrow checker. This is not the point of Rust, I

The article is a complete puff piece. There is no substance to it whatsoever.

It depends on the home. I use 2.4GHz and disable 5GHz because it causes a lot of issues. The latest issue I have is where the phone I'm writing this on keeps switching from 2.4 to 5GHz when in the bedroom. However, when it switches fro

You'll need to explain it more than that. How was the Apple Airport slow? What kind of diagnostics did you do? What does the Google WiFi do different that makes it work so much better?

I know people like to hate on errors as values as in Go, but I think exceptions are worse when it comes to unexpected side effects and this is a prime example!

I spent the last year living 30 minutes walk from work in Central London. Neither the 4 mile walk through congested, diesel-fumed London or the small, expensive flat with single glazed windows did make me happier. I now live 30 miles outsid
