800lb is a perfectly normal capacity for anything built on a passenger car platform. Considering the bolt is a subcompact I'd actually say having ~800lb of "OEM approved"[0] capacity actually seems pretty good. I suspect most of that stems from having to build a beefier car to carry around those batteries 100% of the time while not having an unreasonably short service life for suspension components.

In showroom configuration 99.99% of vehicles are only spec'd with tires that barely exceed the GWVR.

That said, with a pneumatic tire you can just air it up higher than the OEM tells you to and you're good for more GVW at the expense of the tire wearing faster. Obviously you need to be reasonable about it but tires are pretty durable even over their stated weight rating as long as you don't run them hot (airing up reduces flex therefore reducing heat).

It will be very interesting to see if they come out in other sizes/capacities. They already make similar tires for off road use but they aren't suitable for road speeds (go figure)

On the other hand, there’s no need to find and pay for parking, and you can be drunk and take public transport.
Microsoft is in the open source game to domimate it. They want to be in a position where you can't realistically run an open source project without their involvement. Their recent moves around github all point in that direction.

IBM has more of a consultancy perspective: they want rheur business customers to pay for services provided on top of existing solutions. And open source platforms make it easier to sell custom extensions.

If you've ever had a cat, you'd known that an indoor cat is just a cat that hasn't snuck out yet. The cats I have now are indoor. Both try to slip out sometimes and one ran off for a few hours. My cats are rather small and where I live there are predators. Had we not found her, her claws could have been what kept her alive.

That's extremely rare, these days. When a conflict is possible, they just drop the new version in the cellar and tell you what to do if you really want to risk shooting yourself in the foot.
Their driver app shows your current speed, and pops up a warning when you exceed the posted limit for the road you're on. Are they seriously trying to tell us they couldn't fire off an API call to report the driver is over the limit at the same time?
With a good public transportation system in place, you don't need to walk further than a few blocks to reach your destination.
Because there is regularly no need for these. You can add num block to any part of the keyboard and switch to it with one key press(Hold or Tap) You can also get separate and programmable num block in addition if you really want it.

iTerm is amazing when using many spaces because of the hotkey overlay.

Projects and project parts are separated via spaces but I never want to have to find the right terminal for a process, instead I use a single window with animations disabled (to show immediately) and excluded from app switcher via settings so that it will only ever show up when i press alt-space no matter which space I'm on.

Together with tabs and native panes it works just great and requires very little setup
I assumed the sidewall had been cut away simply for the marketing images to show what is going on inside. I have no doubt the real thing will have a sidewall.
I think you just treat an error being returned as the value being ignored, which is what 99.9% of go programs do.

As for two nils being returned, I think it's reasonable for a program to run successfully without returning a result. Search for some work to do, return a list of tasks -- if there are none, the list is empty (nil) but there was no problem checking, so there is also no error. I don't see a problem.

As for the compiler checking, try running "func f() (value, error)" like "foo := f()". It blows up. What you do with the error is up to you; all Haskell adds with the Error monad is that it short-circuits to the end of the do {} block with the error value. No different than a Java exception; all of the upsides, all of the downsides.

Regardless, I stand by my original point that if you want to handle runtime errors, Haskell doesn't really add anything over any other language. Semantic has cases that handle errors. So would the program written in any other language.

The author should have just said, "I wrote it in Haskell because I felt like it" instead of making up reasons that simply aren't true.
Also the rental of storage space is booming. Pelican Storage seems to be the biggest operators in this area (at least in EU).
Considering that google has a history of cloaking information via the UI (see purchase history hidden if you have G Suite, but still fully accessible via takeout), and that Google offers advertisers the ability to see if you have visited a particular store even in an indoor mall, I am sure google knows your location more precise than it reports.

Or maybe there's elevation.

Either way, walking is no longer feasible if the distance is more than a couple miles.
If the tire had closed sidewalls, you'd never know someone had the new tires without obtrusive labelling. Open sidewalls market themselves, not only do you see it's a different tire, you see it's an entirely different tire design that's relatively easy to comprehend the benefit of even if you know nothing about them.
It was all decided in Teheran conference in November 1943. WW2 was considered a done deal so Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin met to discuss the future of Europe.

At the time of the conference, Red Army was about to enter Poland.

While Churchill was happy to let Soviets do all the dying, Roosevelt cared about getting them involved in pacific. He wasn't much concerned with the war in Europe.

As soon as it became clear from Stalin that, when it comes to talking about the future of Europe he holds all the leverage, Churchill decided it's necessary to jump on the bandwagon.

And so the outcome of the Teheran conference was the "Operation overlord" (aka D-day)

To clear any doubts about the significance of Soviet contribution all that needs to be done is go wikipedia and look at the size of the battles in East Europe and compare the to the D-day.

Normandy landings don't even make it to top 10 in terms of the size. Germany was operating with 1 million+ soldiers in multiple battles compared to 50,000 including untrained and underquipped teenagers and seniors allies faced in Normandy.

Moscow, Stalingrad, Kursk, Rzhev, Kharkow, Leningrad, etc. were mostly 10x larger in size and personnel. 90% of German army was killed in the East front.

The fact that most western people don't even know what was the major turning point in the WW2 and think it's the D-day, would leave most of those generations speechless.

Soviets and East Europeans (Yugoslavia liberated itself, Polish army took the Monte Cassino, the largest battle of Allies) won the war. Allies helped, then made a lot of movies about it.

I'm a programmer and geek myself, and heck, even toyed with the idea of having open-source alternative to GSuite. But reading the title I too thought it's an alternative to Google search. Reading your first para cleared it up though. Just a heads up.
Driving cost more and then you have the parking problem. There are ups and downs to both alternatives.
Very interesting article, thanks !

As much as I dislike the actions of USSR at the time of WWII (I'm Polish), they should take much more credit for defeating Nazis.
This doesn't change the fact, that they should also take much more blame for having started the war right next to the Nazis, in the first place, as well for what they did after the war.
Would I be correct in saying you just encapsulated the monad state type `this` in an identity `that` by creating a monad transformer out of `understand`?
// So in places where road space is the bottleneck, we expect driving speed to be similar to the speed of the alternative mode.

Doesn't this mean, that the real "battle" between the public transportation and cars, should be based on a better experience ?

And since driving a car in traffic, everyday, is a negative experience and will stay so until autonomous driving - in theory, we could create the right public experience, that will win over most drivers ?

And so, why haven't we done that ?

I wonder if there is replacement for plastic used in keyboards. Ergonomic design is cool and all, but have you tried typing on something which feels natural and eco-friendly? I personally would expect Apple to come up with such a product as they've already used other green materials in cables. But it would definitely be nice if these keyboard producers put some emphasis on environment-friendliness.
Good for you. The temperature you generate while walking and the amount you sweat is not dependent on fitness level.
This type of comment really make me think humanity peaked a few decades ago. When did we all became lazy snowflakes that can't handle any kind of hardships ? Humanity spent millions of year hunting shit in the woods and eating raw meat to end with what? People who can't walk in the sun or work in an office that doesn't have AC.

Walking in the sun is too much effort and makes you sweat ? Buy sunscreen, bring an extra t shirt and stop making excuse. Sweat is a perfectly normal response to heat, your body knows how to deal with it. God damn it, some kids in africa run 10km to go to school every day while eating 5 time less food than you and they probably complain less.

Rain is a viable excuse for burning fossil fuel and moving 2 tons of steel to transport a 80kg meat bag ?

Unless you're disabled or commute 30+km a day you're better off with good gear and an electric bike. It's cheaper, better for your health, better for local and global pollution, &c. ICE vehicles have nothing to do in city centers. Good public transport + a fleet of government owned electric taxies would solve every issues.
To past generations of Americans, cars represented freedom. Cars transcended race, bringing together car-lovers of all kinds in various ways. (Go to a car show and see.) This can even be seen in the movie 'Cars', one of my favorite movies.

But I think those days are passing. Today's teens don't have the same interest, at least not in huge numbers. I hope something similar takes the place cars have had in American culture.

The average commuter won't carry huge luggage around. But they might spend the time reading or working out they are sitting in a train/metro compartment. And they exercise when using the bicycle, meaning they will be healthier and have reduced health issues and cost. Bicycles are also much less costly and environmentally friendly, don't pollute, are less likely to have accidents (except with cars), ... But infrastructure is much cheaper and easier to maintain then that for cars. Cars on the other hand block the roads not just for each other, but also for public transport, trucks, emergency vehicles, ... They produce co2 and microparticles, take up valuable space when parked, etc. Overall cars have huge externalities.

So no, cars are not the best means of transport just because you can carry lots of stuff which you usually don't carry...

It seems fast enough for simple file serving, but if all you want is modify some of nginx's behavior I'd probably look to openresty or nginxcript instead.

Homebrew installs it’s own ruby when necessary.
The Golden Scale: A Collection of Norwegian Folktales
I should have elaborated on my flippant closing comment, given that several people have referenced it (or, better yet, just not made it-- little good ever comes from flippant comments).

I don't particularly care about conservation. I find the hubris humankind has repeatedly demonstrated to be supremely odious, though. The repeatedly-demonstrated attitude of putting ourselves outside of nature, saying "Oh, but this time our actions won't have unintended consequences...", fills me with white-hot rage.

I recognize that hindsight makes bad decisions seem self-evidently bad. I can't help thinking that some historically bad decisions must have seemed bad at the time, too, yet we made them anyway.

Maybe our evolutionary progeny will be imbued with an intuition that speaks to the complex behavior that arises out of dynamical systems. Maybe they'll innately understand that they're inside the systems they want to influence, and not apart from them. Maybe they'll have sufficiently long lifetimes to skew their thinking away from short term gains. Maybe they won't exhibit the willful ignorance and motivated reasoning that we do. Maybe they'll just be less stupid.

Aside: Your retort of saying, effectively, "kill yourself" followed by "Yeah, but I don't really mean that" does seem a little gauche. I suppose, taken in kind with my flippant statement, it's not so out-of-place, but I do wish that the whole "kill yourself" meme hadn't ever made its way into Internet discourse.

Indeed. Many historians cite the opening of another front in the Pacific theater by the Soviets as the primary cause for the Japanese surrender (although this is a hotly debated issue).

5 min hackjob that saves my day every day:

# `note foobar` opens vim on a timestamped foobar file within a folder
# `note` just opens the same folder in netrw
# also, using tpope/vim-vinegar and liberal use of `-` to go back and forth
function note() (
local title="$1"
local timestamp="$(date +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z)"
local dir="${HOME}/Dropbox/Notes"

mkdir -p "${dir}"
cd "${dir}"
if [[ -n $1 ]]; then
exec vim "$timestamp-$title.md"
else
exec vim .

)
I'm not sure any given event has to be a symposium on the war in it's entirety.

The Soviets sacrificed a great deal, as did many nation's and individuals. They also received a lot of support. I'm not sure an accounting of all that is required for remembering those who fought a specific battle.

Let alone something like "well the outcome was already decided....." when we talk about the sacrifices people made.
That's how modern trackballs work. Optical mice are cheaper to produce and more reliable than those with balls, and trackballs are the same in that regard.
we are discussing uber here, parking is not generally a consideration here.

as pointed out, the reason that cars being shown to be slower than walking in many cases is moot because cars provide benefits which more than offset.
1. Weather protection
2. Cargo transportation
3. Ease of movement for the disabled
4. Additional safety for those toting along small children
5. Some level of protection/isolation from others

The argument in favor of bicycling in lieu of cars falls prey to the same reasons. There are pro and cons so we must always fairly assess them before standing up and declaring one method worse than another. In fact none ever are all the time

I presume you don't do family shopping (easily 30kg), or +-gazillion of other use cases that your 'solutions' don't cover and would make people's lives measurably worse and more stressful. If I have to carry all my load for weekend adventures to car that is parked 300-500m away I end up properly sweaty even in coldest winter day, and sometimes its just not possible. And I work out hard on average 6-7 times per week.

I love walking, sometimes spend hours on long walks since I live in a very pretty place but forcing everybody to adhere to your own vision of car-less cities without offering a proper alternative (not those you mention in this thread, they are far from enough)... sucks.

"Although it is acknowledged that the initial prototype automotive Tweel tires did demonstrate flaws with regard to noise and high speed vibration[5] and produced 5 percent more friction compared to a radial tire,[3] these early issues were resolved in subsequent prototypes, and current automotive Tweel prototype products have been shown to be well behaved and reliable."

I didn't intend to group all ads together, but rather speak broadly of the aggregate effect of advertisers. No question there are predatory ads.

I would say though that publishers can and should exercise editorial control over ads & analytics in their apps... even if they are using 3rd parties. What tends to happen is that they choose NOT to in all but the most egregious cases (and even then...), because of the impact on their bottom line.

Blowouts are only specifically called out as being dangerous because they tend to happen without highly obvious warning, require the user to take action to prevent them from causing other problems, and happen at highway speed.

Any situation that happens rarely and requires the average Joe to take action is going to be "dangerous" at scale because some people are inevitably gonna panic and screw it up.

Blowouts are something people feel they are not in control of so they fear it more than they should.
I wonder why the small spacebar never caught on in the mainstream.

Homebrew is not perfect though - it doesn't handle multi-versions (e.g. 3.7 and 3.8 running in parallel), which were working fine with Apple's Framework mechanism.
