my ASUS router uses the 1.0.0 branch so it shouldn't be vulnerable to this bug


If RC Monster trucks can have replaceable battery packs, I imagine board vibration more than moisture has to be pretty severe to warrant permanent connections.


RC Monster trucks don't have people standing on them. Thus the force exerted through their wheels is far smaller.

Also they don't need to maintain ground clearance.


If nearly all of their beta testers didn't need replacible battery, then why add the complexity?


If I recall correctly, Tesla had difficulty designing a transmission at first go and they are in the car business.

So I guess the point is, apparently persistence counts for something.


If this is the real deal, then why not ship common language VMs (in asm.js) with the browser? Then you don't need to worry about 200k at all and all code can run in the browser? I mean, if google is shipping NaCL and Dart VMs, why not? Updates could ship with browser updates, or you can still load your own rolled version if you like.


Hmm, you could avoid some downloads by basically populating the browser cache by default with some common libraries, like jQuery, and maybe a Lua VM if that catches on, yeah. But this would be totally different from shipping a nonstandard VM, since there is no violation of the standards process if you are basically just optimizing away first downloads of common JS libraries. It does have the cost of increasing the initial browser download though, which is perhaps why this isn't already done (also things like jQuery have many versions which makes things harder).

Note however that Google has not actually shipped NaCl or Dart. (NaCl technically ships in Chrome, but is disabled on the web by default, it is only usable in the Chrome Store.) So currently no browser is shipping a new nonstandard VM - which is good, because if a major browser did that it could fragment the web.


FYI, current mobile browser caches are very weak and unreliable. For instance, iOS clears all cached data just by exiting Safari. Android is also in a similar situation (unpredictable and can't explain).

I guess it is caused by the storage limitations. We can't rely on the mobile browser cache, at least for now.


How about going into STEM to understand how the world works a little better?

Would you rather have a society full of too many engineers or that of too many lawyers?


Isn't it the torque curve that's smooth for electric motors and not power?


That's funny, I said the exact opposite to my friends comparing this piece to Gladwell.


agreed. Totally misleading


does 20 ms latency cut it?


Maybe now I can add my own "replace" button in the Find Dialog of TextMate 2. The only button there for me is "replace all"

Does anyone else have that issue?


I haven't used TM2 since it was first released however if its like TM1 'Replace' only appears on the single file find (cmd+f) and is not available on the find in project (shift+cmd+f) dialog.


In the Find in Project (in TM1, I've not used 2), just cmd-click to select the found instances you want to replace, and the Replace All button because Replace Selected
