After street lighting was upgraded to more energy-effective LEDs there's surplus capacity. Making every pole available for slow overnight charging does not mean to "completely revamp entire neighborhoods". The possibility to sell the electricity might even become attractive for municipality or utility.

Also, parking is going to be overhauled anyway, after decades of cars occupying every nook and cranny, there's a strong push to free the streets.
> But Parler _didn't even try_ any of these less drastic measures. They could have properly moderated, or if that's not possible because they were growing so fast they could have limited posts from new users, or added moderation bots, or could have blanket-banned the most problematic subgroups. They didn't do these things.

IIRC, Parler billed itself as an unmoderated "free speech" space [1]. IIRC, what little moderation it had was done by unpaid volunteer moderators, which in this case is akin to letting the inmates run the asylum.

[1] https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/08/technology/parler-apple-g...: "Over the past several months, Parler has become one of the fastest-growing apps in the United States. Millions of President Trump’s supporters have flocked to it as Facebook and Twitter increasingly cracked down on posts that spread misinformation and incited violence, including muzzling Mr. Trump by removing his accounts this past week. By Saturday morning, Apple listed Parler as the No. 1 free app for its iPhones."
So this is something I keep asking myself. The largest part of the savings comes from the fact that electricity is much cheaper compared to gasoline on a 100km basis. Now, the reason gasoline is so expensive is the massive amount of taxes charged. However, those taxes directly fund the building and maintenance of the road infrastructure. Currently, EV owners essentially get to ride for free on that infrastructure since they aren't paying gasoline taxes.

Consequently, with more and more people switching over, the amount of taxes available for road maintenace, etc. will decrease and the electricity for driving will have to be taxed much in the same way as gasoline is and thus eliminating the savings early adopters are currently enjoying.

Battery pack depreciation is the one thing that worries me the most.

But I wonder if it would be possible and cost effective to test cells and combine the cells that are still good into a newer battery pack. Maybe by the manufacturer.

Or to just rate an existing one and give it a score so the consumer can have a clue.
If you looks at the bottom of page 2, it'll tell you why the third page was omitted and give you a link to click so the results aren't omitted:

Great article, a lot of effort went into this.
I'm not sure this works very well. I tried running the test on T-mobile's LTE which has free Spotify streaming. It basically said there was "no differentiation" implying there was no packet inspection?

EDIT: Re-read the technical details. I think it can only measure one aspect of Net Neutrality I.e. Throttling one in favor of the other. Which seems reasonable. But I don't think it should be marketed as detecting "Net Neutrality Violation".

What's the difference between a Polestar and an 'actual Volvo'? Just the badge on front? What's that matter? I think Polestar used to be literally a trim level, so they can't be that different.
Goes without saying that you deploy to an identical test environment that duplicates the entire stack, with realistic test data. Automated testing protects from regressions, manual testing for the rest.

> It is funny how people in the US expect exactly nothing from their government/city. Does nobody think they could provide shared charging infrastructure for people who live there?

We expect them to propose charging infrastructure, think they have a consensus, and then get sued by someone for some stupid reason, and then 10-15 years later break ground on something 1/3 of what people need.

California is much worse than the east-coast in this regard, but there's a 12 lane freeway bridge in the DC area that is a draw-bridge because the original plan of a suspension bridge was fought by people who complained that it would be an eyesore.

Open source excel grid system has performance beyond expectations
- VNode based DOM almost without rerendering. I do recombination instead;
- Full customization: custom cells, headers, properties, editors;
- Advanced plugin system with most important plugins out of box such as sorting, filtering, exporting to excel, column based on context size;
- Custom sizes for rows and columns;
- Column grouping;
- Freezed columns/rows;
- Integration with all popular frameworks: react, vue, angular, ember, vanilla;
- Multiple other useful features just to get it in use out of box.
I’d start with reading the Phoenix Project (a “novel” about Devops) and also Accelerate. Also the Continuous Delivery book by Dave Farley and Jez Humble.

Beyond that however it’s about taking a look at your processes and your particular challenges.

Say if you have a old-school DB with lots of stored procs, no or not enough tests, and that people tremble to update, that DB is a business risk.

You should have backups and contingency plans (eg a hot standby?) to ensure updates are resilient even if something fails. And of course the “good hygiene” of adding columns, using feature flags etc as the other commenter wrote.

Once you’re less worried about the database, you can start refactoring it if you wish.

Refactoring a large, entrenched database is a large topic but re publicly available case studies, have a look at Netflix’s case study on how they migrated their billing system away from Oracle[1].

yep. I used it when I had to talk to all my friends on msn messanger etc.. one app to talk to everyone no matter what they where using. Now I have to have 10 different apps to talk to just 10 friends.
I think we agree overall. The issue is who this "elite" is. And that's what no one wants to define.

I think you can do alright if you put some effort in. Maybe get a degree, maybe get a trade. Maybe start a business. It's not perfect, you'll (as you say) never actually break out of your class of birth. But the opportunity is there. In America, the UK, etc.

But people are lazy and short termism is built into humans. So a big chunk of people do nothing (don't get a degree, don't get a trade, don't start a business, don't take risks) and 20 years later they're working the same job in the same (now dying) business in the same (also dying) Town. And they want to blame someone. So it's all the Chinese/Jews/Immigrants/Democrats fault.

Its grievance politics the same as Hitler.
Commented on your earlier comment, but didn't see another user basically wrote the same thing, as I hadn't refreshed. Isn't Amazon just an "end user" in this case? End user doesn't have to mean someone who queries an ElasticSearch cluster, it could be someone who hosts one and charges for that.

> You can also do hybrid approaches, e.g. continuous deployment to a QA environment, and have dedicated QA teams, while delivering to client on a waterfall schedule.

I feel like this approach lets developers still spot check and make sure their code looks good when in QA while still giving the more anxious folks who need production to be holy to have their manual button press to get things live. Ideally, your pipeline is also at that point a simple button press to go from QA out to production. It also hopefully isolates any production issues to environmental differences as you will be in the "bundled changes" territory referenced in the article.

From what I've experienced the FUD around letting things get into production rapidly really freaks out some organizations and having it hybridized is better than nothing.

I just got into that channel recently. The youtuber was one of the 4 guys that restored the Apollo guidance computer. The entire process is documented on his channel. It was very humbling to watch these guys debug damn near every transistor and logic gate and eventually run the old lunar landing sequence. The also recovered some lost code that was still stored in the core-rope ram from 50 years ago, as well as built gate accurate emulators for the AGC itself and other peripherals. Definitely worth checking out.

1. The point regarding architecture is a good one. Choose what is best for the problem that needs solving.
2. If you want to do heavy duty server stuff that has a large RAM state (and long) running, then Go is great:
- Run time is fast
- It is statically typed
- It has IMHO really good Garbage Collection.
- It has channels (but also regular MUTEXes).
- It is co-invented by Ken Thompson (who is the inventor of B which came before C). That in itself is not proof of quality of course, but it does give some idea.

Disadvantage is that you do not have the luxury of generics as in Typescript... (yet)
If the vehicles are parked overnight and mostly driven to work, you don't need anything like a level 3 charger. A 220V/12A outlet is probably enough. That won't give you a full charge, but it's enough for most urban commutes. (And making this infrastructure available should make PHEV owners buy less gasoline, which is good!)

Are data migrations easier with MongoDB/DynamoDB? They don't really have a schema.
Here's another approach to the problem [0]:

This package is part of Gazette [1], and uses a gazette journal (known as a "recovery log") to power raw bytestream replication & persistence.

On top of journals, there's a recovery log "hinting" mechanism [2] that is aware of file layouts on disk, and keeps metadata around the portions of the journal which must be read to recover a particular on-disk state (e.x. what are the current live files, and which segments of the log hold them?). You can read and even live-tail a recovery log to "play back" / maintain the on-disk file state of a database that's processing somewhere else.

Then, there's a package providing RocksDB with an Rocks environment that's configured to transparently replicate all database file writes into a recovery log [3]. Because RocksDB is a a continuously compacted LSM-tree and we're tracking live files, it's regularly deleting files which allow for "dropping" chunks of the recovery log journal which must be read or stored in order to recover the full database.

For the SQLite implementation, SQLite journals and WAL's are well-suited to recovery logs & their live file tracking, because they're short-lived ephemeral files. The SQLite page DB is another matter, however, because it's a super-long lived and randomly written file. Naively tracking the page DB means you must re-play the _entire history_ of page mutations which have occurred.

This implementation solves this by using a SQLite VFS which actually uses RocksDB under the hood for the SQLite page DB, and regular files (recorded to the same recovery log) for SQLite journals / WALs. In effect, we're leveraging RocksDB's regular compaction mechanisms to remove old versions of SQLite pages which must be tracked / read & replayed.

From a glance at wikipedia, Tesla took 5 years (2003 to 2008) from founding to (limited) production of the Roadster, and were under no expectation to get money or build other cars during that time. Then they built what appears to be a total of 2400 of them.

The Model S was announced in 2012 as their first "mass produced" road car (and they don't appear to have broken 100K cars in a year until ~2017), so that's 15 years to get anywhere near the scale of a grown-up car manufacturer.

To reiterate, they didn't have to support other production in any of that time, and they didn't have to make any sort of profit during any of that time.

To compare, Audi spits out ~2m cars a year, and can't just stop selling cars to retool their factories.

I still don't understand "net neutrality". Further, reading other people's definitions and opinions, it feels like the pro and con advocates are talking past each other.

Here's my current stab at understanding each side:

Customer perspective: Rent seeking bad. Don't want to be gouged.

Broadband providers perspective: Mitigate the free rider problem(s), make the system fair.

Examples would be very helpful. Of course there are bad actors. I'm trying to not get sucked into that food fight. My hope is that we can curtail bad behavior (cheating) with better policies.

Surely we can design markets to satisfy the needs and concerns of both sides. Right?

This is something that I would be concerned with. If you have a multiplayer game like Runescape, and have CD on the servers, introducing a bug that causes corrupted data may be able to be patched quickly, but in that hour a lot of players could have been given items that they shouldn't have had. Then you have to distinguish which got the items properly and which didn't, and have processes set up to make those kinds of admin changes to the prod db
> The southern states had (or expected to have) large populations

The Southern States were underrepresented in the Senate compared to the House by the initial apportionment in the Constitution, represented at very close to the same ratio in each House in the apportionment for the 1790 Census (largely reflecting that they had been overrepresented relative to population, in the House, in the Constitutional apportionment), and substantially overrepresented in the Senate compared to the House after the 1800 Census.

They were well aware of the imminent demographic trends and acted accordingly.

> History and facts matter.

Indeed they do, but the history and facts aren't on the side of “the Southern States had large initial and expected future populations as counted for apportionment in the House and, so by-State representation in the Senate was contrary to, rather than designed to serve, their regional interest.”

Good news/bad news.

Good news is that I was one of those people that had a clearance, so can confirm that those individuals exist at least.

Bad news is because I had a clearance, I can’t say anything more than that. Way too much liability to even speak vaguely about it, even tho I no longer have it. The US government doesn’t play around with that type of stuff.

The initial issue seems to be saying that it's because they need to have etcd anyway, so consolidating on that removes a dependency. Which fits their simplicity goal. Though the issue appears to have been created by a user, not a maintainer.

"Since the HA direction needs etcd anyway.. I'm proposing dropping support for sqlite as the default embedded non-HA option and switch to embedded etcd as the default. This will reduce overall effort of maintainability of two entirely different datastores."

WRT reduced sensation and sweating: you may want to find a neurologist who deals with dysautonomia, and maybe get autonomic function testing done. Also look into small fiber neuropathy.

But it’s frequently associated with dysautonomia, progressive and autoimmune/inflammatory in origin.
