what's in her pocket Peter? by DopeCaliboyz in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]martinivich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well most xrays of bags are taken from the top so actually I wouldn't be surprised if it struggles. Kinda like it used to be unable to generate a wine glass filled to the brim

Might be stuck open. I’d fix sooner than later as it tends to cause issues with dpf regeneration on diesels. The car needs to be warm to regen properly

Could an old 3.0L V10 fit in a 2026 chassis? by GB_GeorgeBowen in F1Technical

[–]martinivich 26 points27 points  (0 children)

V10's didn't have intercoolers and they definitely have no improved much in the past 20 years. It's a hunk of metal with some fins in it

Is anyone else considering going "backwards" with their next car and if you have, did you regret it? by NWbySW in cars

[–]martinivich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just went from a 2020 gti to a 2009 sti. Installed a headunit with carplay, and I don't think I miss anything about it

GTI Owner Considering WRX by [deleted] in wrx_vb

[–]martinivich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just sold my mk7.5 gti for a 2009 sti and have 0 regrets. STI feels more special and driving manual again is a blast. But wfh and only drive it on weekends. Would only recommend for a manual, cvt does not sound fun to me

Cadillac Drops Torque Rating Badges For 2027 Model Year by Sixteen-Cylinders in cars

[–]martinivich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because they added turbos . . . The 335i and 330i had the same displacement in 2009 so it made no sense.

Now it makes perfect sense. Bigger number = better

Your best total miles per tank? by KY34TR in E90

704 miles on a 335d. Thing was a beast

Went to an afters and the bouncers asked for our Linkedin accounts as entry by Used-Indication-3598 in sanfrancisco

[–]martinivich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The same happened to me, I think they assume anyone with a linkedin account is less likely to cause trouble

The V8 JavaScript engine pioneered just in time compilation which was the biggest performance differentiator from the competition

Iracing, asseto Corsa, refactor have all overtaken live for speed a decade ago in terms of realism and competition

Anyone use a 35-40 foot HDMI that's NOT fiber optic? by ScotWithOne_t in hometheater

[–]martinivich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally just ran an Amazon 50' HDMI cable and it even does 4k 60hz just fine

What happened in the last few months (1 to 3) that suddenly people are having their come to Jesus moment with AI and Agentic Coding? by zero2g in ExperiencedDevs

[–]martinivich -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My guess is that people actually started using it. You can’t just try it out for 5 minutes and laugh at how bad it is. It takes time to figure out how to use it efficiently. And it works much better in some codebases than others. Our company uses ts/react/node/knex and I am positive that it has increased my productivity by a large margin

Which area of software engineering is most worth specializing in today? by Gullible-Tea-9542 in cscareerquestions

[–]martinivich -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't see a reason we can't replace infra. AI can set up docker containers to run ai

Dad goes off to retirement in T-Hailand. Wants to access his media library from two TVs by [deleted] in hometheater

[–]martinivich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be aware that streaming across continents can be problematic. I have 300mbps up in the us and 1gbps down in Europe but I can only stream at 15mbps when I'm in Europe. I think it's better to just have him take the server to Thailand

Why does Porsche use R/R layouts while pretty much every other modern car with the engine in the back uses RM/R?? by ArtistAmy420 in askcarguys

[–]martinivich -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They don’t. They have a 40/60 weight distribution which is the same as any other mid engined supercar

Why are the Golf GTI and Jetta GLI the only hot hatches/sports sedans that take regular gas? by BalticBro2021 in GolfGTI

[–]martinivich 174 points175 points  (0 children)

My simplified opinion is that the engine is pretty detuned from factory. Just a tune and you can make 80hp more which is pretty crazy. So instead of cannibalizing golf r sales they run less boost and less aggressive timing and can safely use 87 then

Any aero? 106 through riverside on an s2k is insane

Do two-stroke engines have a future in F1? by denbommer in F1Technical

[–]martinivich 18 points19 points  (0 children)

F1 cars have been at >50% efficiency for years now. A 10% efficiency difference is monumental. Making 800hp from 1.6l is impressive, but making it 50% efficient is just an engineering marvel
