Do you really want software auto-updates with potentially breaking changes in your car though?

Chances are, you will end up with the iPhone situation, where a 10-year-old phone is now essentially a brick - the software 'updates' just made things slower on the older hardware, if they support the older hardware at all. Do you really want that in your car?

For comparison, you can get a 20-year old car today that would work today as well as on the day it was made - mechanical controls still respond instantly, radio still works.

And then suddenly you find that the Teslas are a lot more expensive than they seem, because the depreciation will be more severe. Not only that, but I would question their green credentials if the cars are forced to become obsolete after N years.
In order for modern society to keep working you need those people to get into mortgage debt, as that's (combined with children) the most effective way to keep people employed.

Even from the mustache-twirling evil perspective, it doesn't make a lot of sense to burden people with debt before they have even started to earn money to repay it.
“That’s free will: were you to rewind the tape of world history, to the instant just before you made your decision, with everything in the universe exactly the same, you’d have been able to make a different one.”

Let me posit a different world view that resolved this dilemma: we live in a present moment which is always unfolding in a chaotic kaleidoscope. QM tells us as much, that we live in a world based on nonlocal probabilistic events and that we can’t ever “rewind”. Under such circumstances “free will” as conceived by a middle schooler doesn’t make sense, but determinism hardly does either.

Determinism brings to mind the idea of a roller-coaster-track of past-present-future. Physicists call this “eternalism”. Eternalism is great if you are calculating how a ball will behave at time t when thrown in a parabolic arc, but I really do believe that time t+1 and time t-1 doesn’t actually “exist”. We remember the past like ripples in a pond remembering the rock that fell in. We anticipate the future based on patterns we have stored up. But it hardly makes sense to say that the future is determined by the past other than to say that our concept of a future is informed by our ability to make inferences from the ephemeral memories we call “the past”.

Like most philosophical problems we let words get in the way of reality. “Could have done otherwise” sounds like a statement of fact but we only ever use it to express our own every-day thought experiments, or to express desire. “He could have taken a shorter route.” “She could have been nicer to me.” In reality neither thing happened differently because /now/ is when everything happens and we only get one shot. And that’s the crux of it to me. Talk of free will is mostly just anxiety over having made the right actions in the moment or not when mulling it over later. Certainly we have no future fate since the present has inflexible probability baked into it.
This is effectively what happens when HDLs are compiled into an ASIC or FPGA.
I have a Kona EV and I really really like the car. There is, however, currently a recall on the main battery that sounds like it's going to be fully replaced.

For me, personally, all the little caveats of driving an EV work out okay. In the situation I described, I'm okay with hitting a charger on my way home and spending the time waiting. I've taken it on a couple 2 or 3 stop trips (depending on how long you want to stop) and it's not really a big deal. I'm planning a trip next month where the drive will be two days with a total of 3-4 stops on each leg. I'm generally an early adopter and I kinda just think it's cool so I like it. But I don't have a family and I have some free time.

However, when I talk to people about it, I always mention it and I would never flat out recommend and EV to someone because of the charging situation. I think an EV would make a great second car for just about any family or couple but having it as your main and only car has drawbacks.

Boat Trips in Dammam
Dammam is the sixth-most populous city in Saudi Arabia and the capital of the Eastern Province. Known for being a major administrative center for the Saudi oil industry, Dammam is where Saudi Arabia's oil story began in the early part of the last century. Dammam constitutes the core of the Dammam metropolitan area, also known as the Greater Dammam area, which comprises the 'Triplet Cities' of Dammam, Dhahran and Khobar.

Ivermectin is incredibly safe. "Acetaminophen overdose is the leading cause for calls to Poison Control Centers (>100,000/year) and accounts for more than 56,000 emergency room visits, 2,600 hospitalizations, and an estimated 458 deaths due to acute liver failure each year." https://aasldpubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hep.20...

"Hepatic adverse events
Ivermectin was suspected to be a hepatotoxicant. In fact, this claim reproduced in several publications was based on few individual case reports [Sparsa, 2006; Veit
et al., 2006; Hirota et al., 2011] where the causal relationship with ivermectin treatment was not convincingly established. The last update of LiverTox [2018], a database of drug-induced hepatotoxicity, did not classify ivermectin as a known hepatotoxicant, a conclusion recently confirmed by the US National Institutes of Health [NIH, 2021]."

Taken from a recent 48 page review of the the entire literature on Ivermectin safety by a medical toxicologist: https://www.medincell.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Clinica...

For anyone else wondering what hydronic heating is, it's using warm water as your main heat source. Either using radiators, or tubing in the floor to heat a room.

This contrasts against the more common American method of using hot air to heat a home. I believe air heating is more common in the US because AC systems already require the relevant air ducting, so it's easier to install.

Meanwhile here in NL airconditioning is very rare, and 95% of people use a gas fired water heater and metal radidators in rooms for heat distribution.
Some non-doctor info on first-time T2 diabetes ketoacidosis for overweight people, and ironically, one benefit:

1) symptoms are losing 1 pound per day, vision "graying out" and constant thirst, and tiredness/loss of focus, and eventually coma and death

2) if you're overweight but otherwise healthy (you walk daily and have strong cardio), you can "ride down" the weight loss for a month or two to lose 30 - 40 pounds. This is the easiest rapid weight loss that works for most people and helps greatly with diabetes.

(Do not do this if you're otherwise unhealthy. See a doctor immediately if you feel it's necessary, or if you don't understand your health state at any time.)

What happens is that your body fat is consumed for calories instead of normal nutrition (since your pancreas isn't producing insulin). This affects your blood chemistry, which does affect your heart. After you lose 30 - 40 pounds, your pancreas may function better, ending the ketoacidosis.

3) read food labels and avoid HFCS and sugar. (ketoacidosis can be triggered by 3 or 4 regular Cokes daily, so don't drink that. Coke Zero is ok, but think about drinking non-soda alternatives like tea or coffee with Splenda.) Eat at regular times, and do not skip eating for a day or you could (likely) go into a coma.

What will happen is that the weight loss and reduction in sugar from #2 and #3 will reduce the effects of ketoacidosis and may stop it, and possibly stop T2. At that point you need to learn about long-term mgmt., including weight loss, exercise and eating a high-quality diet (home-cooked traditional foods) at regular times daily.

4) After #3, if you still have the symptoms in #1, you need to see a doctor/ICU immediately since medium or long-term ketoacidosis is fatal. The doctor will prescribe insulin or other medicine like metformin and you will need to do glucose monitoring.

Even gaining 5 pounds can trigger ketoacidosis again, so don't do that.

This is why I don't understand why businesses aren't demanding universal health care and a universal basic income. Employees are much less expensive when one is not providing health care, and also less expensive when pay provides a marginal increase in quality of life instead of all of subsistence.
Examples: IBM with IBM PC

And we all know how many IBM PCs IBM has sold over the past decade.

I think that IBM might actually be the most apt analogy for Tesla. 20 years from now Tesla will be a niche player in the market they built basically from scratch.
I guess this explains why I feel so trapped. Like a pawn to my own circumstances.

To live life is to live in servitude. I'm a slave to my own needs of bread, water and circus. To supply this never-ending need I must serve someone else too. I must serve the needs of my family as well : they want and expect things out of me too. So where does that leave me? A never-ending cycle of busy-bodying. I can't even get mad or push back anymore. To what end? I'm simply a spectator to my own fate which unravels before me. If it wasn't me, it would have been someone else. Since it wasn't someone else, therefore, it has to be me. I am just a replaceable cog, but this cog still needs to be put to use in a machine.

This made me realize death is the true gift of God to mankind. An end to our seemingly never-ending drudgery.
Personally I use Qutebrowser on the same screen next to my terminal when I code. That allows me to be mouse-free during coding. It’s a great experience. Not seeing it being slow, I feel that the Python-hackability gives me superpowers.

> Europe and the UK have put down standards and basically forced some level of interoperation between charging network systems, which reduced friction for EV owners.

They standardized the connector, but the problem (at least in my area in Austria when I looked into it 2 years ago) was that there are so many competing charging networks with different contracts and pricing models that it was basically unusable.

Near my house there were 3 chargers from different companies, each with space for two or three cars. If I wanted to use either of them, I would have to sign up with three networks, pay monthly fees for two of them, and have vastly different prices on each of the chargers.

The fast charging prices were also so high that I'm not sure it's any cheaper than a gasoline car.

I don't know if it's gotten any better since then, but as far as I could tell EVs only make sense if you can charge the car either at your home or at your workplace.

The bad thing is: They patched Catalina less than Big Sur with the new update :(

Compare "Gatekeeper" fixed issues here:

Feels for me that they only patched one part of it on Catalina but gates are more open on the older macOS. Really don't like that.

Excatly. And that there's no mention of possible legal consequences. Or perhaps even a plan to do something about it (if that is even possible).
An alternative interpretation is that by opening more positions for women, they're trying to make a societal improvement, by opening doors to people (women, in this case), that meet too many closed doors.

Given their (in relative terms) failure, one could say that this is a complex problem, and addressing one issue is unfortunately not enough.

> even if they're a poor engineer?

This is not something GP wrote. They wrote they had significant issues because, in a sense, they created a problem (hiring methodologies) in order to solve one that didn't previously exist (gender bias).
I get the definite impression that Tesla are engineering their cars to perform well in the test - their cars seem to consistently underperform the official range estimates in actual real-world testing in a way that others don't.

Something worth mentioning if you're using color schemes:
chromium has a "Force dark mode" option that inverts the colors of light pages to make them dark. This used to play well with color schemes: normal page → inverted, page with prefers-color-scheme: dark → use dark theme. Of course they managed to break it: for some reason (but it's not a bug!), new chromium versions always choose the light theme and invert it, even if the page declares it has a dark theme, which is not nice.

They only way to make chromium in dark mode use the CSS color schemes is to add the meta tag:

<meta name="color-scheme" content="dark light">

This is also useful on other browsers: for example, it will make safari choose dark/light UI elements (buttons, dropdowns, etc.) depending on the color-scheme preference.

> I totally forgot about print style sheets

You know who else seems to have forgotten about print style sheets, at least for a while? Wikipedia. Or maybe they didn't do anything and it was browser support that got worse for a while, I dunno, I shouldn't be too quick to assign blame to a specific party here.

All I remember is that years ago, if I clicked the "print page" link I would get a nicely styled printable version with minimal markup. It was a great way to get a "light markup" version of the page before browsers had built-in "reader view" tools.

Then for a while it just gave me a terrible¹ webpage version - basically showing the left menu bar and the huge logo when trying to print the page. Now it seems to have print style-sheets again, but with a "no longer supported" warning when used on a screen (not visible when printing though). See and compare:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSS

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CSS&printable=yes

¹ terrible in the context of printing, I'm not hating on the regular webpage here
> Someone took money from you and you didn't properly check who they were.
No JS? That’s news to me. I added <script> tags and custom HTML tags in the markdown and it worked. Check the source of this page (https://blog.nindalf.com/posts/how-to-learn-unix-tools/). It contains a CSS and JS declaration not present on other posts because they were included in the markdown.

Also if you want to fully commit to JS frameworks, you can. Some frameworks support MDX, which has full support for JSX tags. You can include react components right next to your text.
I'd argue that `place-content: center` is better than `place-items: center` as it would handle multiple child elements in a way most people would expect from a simple centering snippet.

place-content will position all the children to the center, which is generally what's desired here.

place-items, would make each child element center itself within its own grid square

Free will or no free will, is not the assumption in point 2 fundamentally flawed?

Quantum mechanics is surely at the heart of all interactions and so at some level is responsible for the ‘illusion’ making any difference between free will and predetermination unknowable.
My wife and I live in Hungary. Every so often we visit Phoenix, AZ in the summer to see family.

Which most probably won't happen in 2021. Meanwhile, Tesla already dropped to third place in total EVs sold in Germany (a bigger EV market than the US), and place 4 and 5 have nearly the same numbers. I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla drops out of the top 5 in 2021.
