Maybe a hundred miles if I'm lucky. Lithium iron phosphate isn't as good as, say, modern Tesla batteries in terms of energy density, but they're a good choice for conversions because they're much less likely to catch on fire if something goes wrong.

I could get better range with more batteries, but I also didn't want to increase the total weight of the vehicle by more than a few hundred pounds, just to stay within design tolerances.

(The RX-8 is about 3,000 pounds normally, which is pretty light for that sort of car. A Miata would probably be an even better choice, as it's around 2,000 pounds. It's hard to find newer Miatas for a reasonable price, though. RX-8's can be had pretty cheap because the rotary engine is easy to destroy if you don't maintain it properly and even in the best case usually needs to be rebuilt every 100,000 miles or so to replace worn apex seals. So, there are a lot of used RX-8's on the market that need engine work.)
I'm not, sadly.
Controlled by a nonprofit, and taxed as a nonprofit, but IKEA is very much a for profit operation. The company structure is pretty complicated as stated in your link. Wikipedia has a nice overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKEA#Corporate_structure
Another thought: those workers and their companies could contribute to changing the situation in Silicon Valley and the rest of California: https://cayimby.org/

Portland gets too expensive for some other family, who move to Boise, Idaho. And so on...
The app in question had thousands of connected components, so that was a huge bottleneck for them. For many apps it doesn't matter.

The app that Recoil was originally extracted from has an extremely complex set of state and interdependent derived processes -- also heavily hooked into and modified by third-party plugins. This type of complexity is exactly what Recoil was designed to handle.

Thanks for your kind words.
That looks really fun, thank you. I'm going to check this out.. maybe in a VM :D.

It's amazing how the software industry has managed to insulate itself from any kind of serious liability when it comes to the dumpster fire that is security and privacy.

As somebody else explained, if he had showed up to vote against it the amendment almost certainly would have still failed by 1 vote. The party whips would have just required one of the other "no"s to switch. The reality is that party leadership controls exactly what gets voted on and when, and to a large extent predetermines who is allowed to vote yes and no. The rest is just theater.

> Money in/out this month was about 80%/target, so they may pull a rabbit out of a hat.

During the middle of a worldwide lockdown? The only explanation I can imagine is a substantial decrease in operating costs due to disuse, but that doesn't strike me as enough to offset the cost of rent.

What am I missing here?
There's no bold option here - what is your solution for emphasis?
I’ve seen videos on Twitter of the Shopify CEO saying that Ruby’s performance literally doesn’t matter to them. That it’s easy enough to scale it horizontally and the benefits outweigh the cost.
Yeah that was my first thought too -- lots of Scandinavians in the Wisconsin-Minnesota area, lots of snow, etc.
Pedantry aside, we've reached a point in our industry where we can do a lot with horizontal scalability.

I mean, every programmer who funnels through university understands map reduce, and that helps on multi-core threading up to system job running.

But there is a limit, usually in the persistence and caching layers. What you'll find is that those "large scale deployments" are going to have a -lot- of internal cache systems and I can pretty much guarantee that the services running those caches and persistence will not be written in ruby.

You can make anything* scale, but how many CPU cycles you need to burn to get the functionality you want is a matter for the finance department.

If you're running in a lossy business, you can bet that those CPU cycles will begin to cost more than developer velocity is worth, because servers are an eternal and ongoing cost.

On the flip side if you make more money than the infra+devs cost, then nobody is going to hound you for wasting 2x 3x the cost. Because "it's the cost of doing business" is easier to justify when you're cash positive.
You would (should?) have a well defined schema with MongoDB. I know some people see this as one of the values of it, but personally it's not why I use it.

It uses the same drawing primitives as PDF, but it certainly isn’t built around the PDF specification, which is enormous.

To give a few examples, there is no JavaScript interpreter in Quartz (https://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html), nor does it have 3D graphics rendering built in (https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/displaying-3d-models-p...), or a Flash engine (https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/flash-player-needed-ac... this has bee removed from the Acrobat install, but used to ship with it)

To support PDFs fully, all of that would have to be implemented on top of Quartz.

> Where we all used to roll our collective eyes at "conspiracy theories" like the faked moon landing, now its what "the mainstream media doesn't want you to hear" and you have to "think for yourself" by researching random youtube videos.. even when it's being widely covered in the same media.

It's hard to take the mainstream media seriously anymore, after they spent years pushing their own preferred debunked conspiracy theories. And that doesn't necessarily mean random videos on the Internet are preferable either. Really it's just sad. Our basis for understanding and believing "facts" has evaporated. It's an epistemological dilemma. There are no facts anymore, just "alternative facts," narratives, and a choose-your-own-reality mindset pushed both by postmodernists and individuals commonly dismissed as the "far right."
The beauty is we get to decide and choose every day - even you do!

The sound of a Ferrari V12 is a big part of its charm.

I drive an old 72 Dodge. Many people re-engine them with a modern engine, but I like the sound, feel, and balkiness of the old engines. Other people do, too, as when I took it to a car show it would draw a crowd when I'd start the engine :-)
That does not sound like a good solution to the problem of powerful bad actors using social media to spread conflict and misinformation. In fact, it is not a solution at all. I don't understand this attitude of defeatism. Clearly how things are is bad. We should explore solutions. Is that too radical for you? Asking private companies to discern between nonsense of good facts is something that is commonly done with all publications - newspapers, magazines, TV, radio. This is nothing new. Healthy moderation has always been a key part of civil discourse - and FB's moderation is utter garbage. The solution? Demand they moderate less bad.

I think part of that is that the UI and control system has standardized on a mostly similar set of features with somewhat standardized mechanics. They've iterated over the last twenty years towards what is likely the peak (or at least a local maxima) of what you can do with a mouse/keyboard or controller (and controllers are generally normalizing as well, except for small differentiators). I.e. there's only so much control over your physical space you can have with a mouse and keyboard while still allowing good character movement, so there are limitations on what can easily be done.

On the other hand, VR based games are wildly experimenting and iterating because the control interface is so different (while at the same time fairly intuitive in that it maps to our reality better). Superhot in VR (which I have on the Quest) definitely doesn't feel like the same game from the last 25 years. Half-Life Alyx is supposed to be an amazing experience (I haven't had a chance to try it yet, and I won't for a long time likely), but that's not supposed to be because it looks so much better, but because it offers a wildly different and new experience.

So, if you're tired of feeling like you're playing the same old games, try VR. The Quest is probably the cheapest way into this space, but it's not actually cheap at $400, and it will gate you from a lot of the premier experiences available if you have a powerful PC with a good graphics card and VR headset that can interact with it (which the Quest can also do with a cable, so you aren't locked to Quest games, although maybe not at quite the visual quality of some other headsets).
They just had a laid-off recently, and still not profitable given how much $$$ they have burnt over the years. I am not sure if you wanna work there.

My concern is the moment when the question arises: "what else can we do with all this data co's are sending us" besides form a relationship with that co?

At your scale, it's not much of an issue yet. But at larger scale, like SS or with what Social Cap's Capital-as-a-Service program was trying to do, founders are freely contributing their co's data to unknown investment algorithms, in exchange for ??. .ie a honeypot.

That's not really different from how it is now (giving your data away to VCs). But rather than solving the asymmetry problems between founder / investor, my concern with any kind of VC platform model is that asymmetry will be magnified at scale.

(All that said, I think Trailhead is a great approach to invert the standard process based on how things stand today.)

The issue I have with it is that you can find yourself with an empty battery when you need your car the most.

Not as much a problem if you also have a gas car, something that many people recommend if you have an EV. Many families have two cars anyways.

But otherwise, maybe if with a mode that lets you use just a small part of the battery capacity. For example keep at least 50% charge, do not charge over 75%, use the 50%-75% range as a buffer. Lithium batteries last a while when used in that limited range, full charges and full discharges is what tends to wear them out. And on a Tesla, 50% is still plenty of range.
Yup, I think the only renewable that competes is geothermal.

Does that mean a single battery could be reused for a second car when the first car is worn out?
On the bright side though, you can move to a location that has more space at a lower cost. As more people do so, you should also expect to see more restaurants, coffee shops, etc. open up outside of the highest density areas.

Where the hell do you live and/or shop where a suitable office chair costs $1000?
Super agree with this. I have a wife, twin 7 y/o boys, and an infant. I would so much rather not have to deal with the commute and office BS on a regular basis.

The time that I previously spent on commuting can now be redirected towards spending time with my family, straightening the house, doing yard work, getting groceries, working on personal projects, reading, exercising, etc.

Even with normally short commute, I find myself saving 1-1.5 hrs daily. It doesn't sound like a lot, but when your margin for time is already SO tight, it can make a big difference.

In the short term there would be nothing to fill that role, except maybe, for some, the fear of your peers leaving you behind.

A generation later, society will have gained a fuller sense of the need for discipline, self motivation, and personal responsibility in any individual who wants to succeed at life. And so there will be many more people in the world trying to cultivate those virtues. It might turn out to be a great benefit to the human race as a result.

Simulation best practices for building safety critical autonomous systems
Isn't dialectical materialism an attempt at finding laws of history? I've always understood it as a sort of evolutionary biology for social science. This article mentions Marx, but only as a guy who had an idea of a communist society?

Right after mentioning Marx the author states:
> The idea that such progress was inevitable was sharply derailed by the genocides and totalitarianism of the mid-20th century...

Dialectical materialism (while not infallible) is not derailed by genocides and totalitarianism but rather predicts such events, as well as things like imperialism, colonialism, and recessions / depressions cycles.

I, personally, think it can easily become reductive to push everything into dialectical materialism, and many people have added onto Marx's analysis. But if you're going to try and nail down some laws around history I think it might be a good idea to read about thinkers in the past who have already tried to answer the question.
Sure, and to be clear, when I say “it will be” that it’s little more than a guess on my part.

Google has enough project churn internally that services and programs do stand a good chance of getting replaced, though. There’s plenty of history.
Key quotes:

"In order to save our users’ batteries and data plans, and provide them with a good experience on the web, Chrome will limit the resources a display ad can use before the user interacts with the ad. When an ad reaches its limit, the ad's frame will navigate to an error page, informing the user that the ad has used too many resources."

"Chrome is setting the thresholds to 4MB of network data or 15 seconds of CPU usage in any 30 second period, or 60 seconds of total CPU usage. While only 0.3% of ads exceed this threshold today, they account for 27% of network data used by ads and 28% of all ad CPU usage."
Sure. But that doesn't make the quote correct.

I first try to explain the problem, and then potential solutions, to either a beta user or someone non-technical. I'm lucky to have a very patient wife regularly fill this role.

If the solution is trivial and can be completed in an hour, I'll just code it from there.

If I think it'll take a day or more, I'll write down both the problem, and potential solutions, along with pros and cons for each approach, with the focus on trying to justify my actions to Future Me.

If I think multiple people are going to want to know how it ticks, I'll write a design doc and share it with some beta users.

I've found it to be frustratingly common that when I skip this process I will code the first solution that comes to me. This frequently is neither the simplest to implement nor the most efficient approach.
It gets even worse if you want to have your own w/d in a building that isn't 100 years old.
Even before the current situation, both "sides" (and I realize many/most are not really firmly on a side) tended to feel a need to argue their case.

People who like remote work don't want execs to hear the "teams are more productive in an office" theme so many times they pull people back into the office. Which has happened in a number of cases.

On the flip side, people who really want their team all together in an office either because they think it's more productive or because they just like having their team physically with them, don't like the idea of a new normal in which many of their teammates only come in a day or so per week.

Is anyone else tired of having all these "updaters" installed by default, running perpetually in the background? I just want to run your application. I do not want to run (as root!) your marketing puppy that begs me to update to the next version every three days. I wish there was a way to opt out of them. Or even better, have the OS treat them as malware and block them before they even get installed.

Some applications do a check on start-up to see if there is a new version available. This is a lot better. Why isn't this good enough for Adobe?
Not only does this approach help you determine what the backend actually needs to do/acquire, it has the added bonus of getting product teams to iron out critical business logic (which masquerades itself as the frontend) while you transition to backend work.

This is a huge timesaver, because if product decides to change the frontend, you haven't committed huge resources to the backend. Building software front-to-back helps people agree on what needs to get built.
