I'd buy a EV tomorrow if it was cheap enough to do so for a practical commute vehicle, eg a small four door hatchback like a hyundai i30.

For charging, EVs aren't an issue for me since I'd use mine for commute and the range of most of them is plenty sufficient enough I'd only need to recharge every week. For country driving I'd still be relatively ok if I had a trailer.

That trailer requirement is not for fun. Its not optional or a "nice thing to have". I'd expect a EV to be a real vehicle and not some entertainment or otherwise toy. I frankly don't care about EVs for status purposes such as a sports car used to impress. It would be replacing my current workhorse commute vehicle and frankly none of the current EVs are actual competitors yet in realistic ways.
What is the differentiation of this sauce?
> Solvespace is traditional gui cad and not code cad?

Fair enough, but:

1. IIRC the engine is original (eg not relying on OpenCascade or somesuch) and high quality code.

2. Adding some sort of Python API to it would be fairly simple given the file format: if you open a solvespace model file [1], it's almost already a script (ascii, with clear commands).

When reading these comments, I think it's worth remembering the HN crowd and what kinds of companies they tend to work for, especially the most vocal ones, when taking their advice.

I've worked at a large company, a small and young company and small and very old companies.

You learn different things at different companies.

It's useful to learn how to be scrappy and fast as a young startup, to learn a little about a LOT of different technologies to push them out as quickly as possible.

It's useful to learn how to deep dive and improve features in a small company where you can make real impact, while still having the freedom and cash-flow to go slow and intentional and make big changes in small areas.

It's useful to work for a large, established company that has taken its scars and has long, established and hard-fought best practices in place, and where you can work with principal engineers that have made some awesome software.

Every kind of company has its benefits.
But the point there kinda is that gamification is not a "fun" factor, it's what makes them more effective in actually educating. If you have the best learning strategy, but you don't actually stick to it, it won't help.
I am afraid that’s wrong. What you are calling GMT is actually called UT1.

GMT does not exist as a separate thing any more. It was the timescale maintained by the Greenwich observatory, but their timescale matched UTC since the rubber seconds era in the 1960s, and in 1972 Greenwich time became UTC with leap seconds. The Greenwich observatory as an institution does not exist any more (there’s a museum where it used to be but it isn’t a working national scientific laboratory). GMT is now an informal synonym for UTC that still appears in things like British law for historical reasons.
Its usually payment whilst ordering via the site/menu. (Uk)

I don't actually like cars or driving enough to deal with being an early adopter. That's basically for enthusiasts to deal with. Though lately the idea of a hybrid pick up has been enticing. Seems like they are just starting to exist. The new ford one looks almost perfect except its not 4wd.

The section about noise though is right, idk why we torture our selves with noise pollution. And how did people ever start to think they're cool by making more noise. Theres very few engines that sound good, and even then like the article said theres only very few times they should be heard.

In general Im frustrated by this whole idea of fixing the climate by having individual consumers change their habits. We all know its pointless, we know what the big problems are and yet we still want all of us little people to pitch in. We really need to start going after the big polluters. Us little people will be doing plenty of "pitching in" after corporations punish us by passing their new costs on down to consumers.
Thanks for clarifying, your "disgusting" makes more sense now.
It almost almost starts to work with latest models. I just got Kona 64KWh version last week and my math was among the lines of: it can do 400km/250miles of realistic driving, I do need a 20-40 min break after 400-500km anyway, that is enough to charge it up on fast charger to continue my trip. Kona is not ideal because it needs 40-50 min to charge, but Tesla Model 3, VW id.3/id.4 and others can do 125kwh+ charge rates so can charge in <30min. I think I'll stay with Kona for 2-3 years and then jump to something that can charge faster.

So math of getting to destination starts to work, then you get to destination charging and that is more tricky. The car wants 16KWh per 100km, and charging from power socket you can realistically pull 1.6-2KWh, so overnight you can expect to be able to charge 100km of range without much of infrastructure (without level 2 chargers I mean).

So my conclusion is that it's not plug-and-play just yet, but it nearly works, and benefits of electrics starts to outweigh the disadvantage of looking for a power socket.
Starting Your Own Tech Blog
Whether your next car should be an electric really depends on when you think you'll need a new car.

If you need a new car right now, it's still cheaper and probably more practical to buy a petrol car.

If you do not need a new car right now, I think trying to keep your current car for another 5+ years then buying an EV may make sense (probably including for the environment).

EV are taking off but it seems to me that they are still mostly bought by people with higher-than-average income and/or who are engaged on this issue.
I don't understand why PHEVs never caught on. The range and fueling speed of ICE and the convenience of BEVs.

Which is why I find the whole thing bizarre. We should be R&D and making higher bitrate, 32Kbps+ and 1ms latency speech codec that has much higher quality.

Instead they went with ultra low bitrate, 6kbps.. and ultra high latency.
It's all well and good but (a) they're expensive to buy and maintain, and (b) whilst UK charging infra might be good enough to get you there on a long journey, it's nowhere near good enough to do so in predictable time (which is important to a lot of us).

Also, basic practicalities: when I visit my parents there's no charging facility where they live so on at least some trips where the driving is more than just there and back I'd have to spend an hour driving somewhere, charging the car, and then driving back - time I'd rather spend with them given I'm often only with them for a day or two.

Congrats on being accepted to the program.

No idea about the best book, but one of the best things I did some time ago, was to log in to khanacademy.org, and started doing some courses to re-learn a few things.

Even things from algebra I and II, and trigonometry were interesting to re-learn.

Now I'm reading some GIS projection code, and watching movies on calculus & trigonometry to refresh on integrals, matrix calculus, and sine/cosine.

Maybe try Khan Academy and check the textbooks for some CS programs in universities.

Best of luck!

With EVs, you may not even need any hydrocarbon for cooking and heating.

I've seen some existing ICE van conversions that run induction cooking purely off of solar and about $1k of lithium batteries in warmer climates.

Some also have fancy floor heating that run off of auxiliary batteries, so it should be a piece of cake for EVs.

With proper insulation, I imaging you can go pretty far on solar alone between plugging-ins. Just gotta reserve enough for the trips to town.
Same places as for any other car really. :)

> The children of "old money" families are exactly the ones who are "Instagram famous" or "TikTok stars" on social media,

Are they? Can you give some examples? I thought the people you were talking about came from well-off upper-middle class families who never really had to struggle and have probably been similarly well-off for a few generations, but not 'old money' (which to me at least has aristocratic implications).
I quite like Duolingo at the start. They did an excellent technical presentation at one of the AWS events I attended, and I think they were doing some really innovative stuff. If I recall correctly, their original model was to have more advanced learners crowdsourcing translation services, similar to how CAPTCHA made money. I guess the problem with that model is not many people become advanced learners. Something has to support all of the free install, use for a week or two crowd, and I guess that's where the hearts system came in. Either way, they never supported the language I had to learn (Icelandic, few do) so I found another app/site that did.
Most of those are manageable or can be disabled, but it can become annoying:

- Start Menu showing suggested apps (the infamous Candy Crush)

- Task bar shown weather and news

- Lock screen sometimes showing ads

- Sometimes, with updates, new things are installed that auto-launch and prompt you to, e.g., buy an Office subscription.
I don't like to discuss EVs in public because things quickly devolve into an inquisition if one doesn't fully embrace the messaging, but I'll bite.

From an enthusiast perspective, I have no issues with an electric powertrain. The concept has a lot of promise once the implementation matures. The current issues I have with electric _powertrains_ (not vehicles) are: Relatively short battery lifespan, high replacement cost. Unrealistic range estimates. I live in Germany and the range is pathetic when traveling at actual Autobahn speeds, which is further worsened during the times of year when heating or cooling is required. Poor high speed performance, except in higher price brackets.

The thing that these enthusiast-directed EV articles always seem to miss is this point.

> Most car companies are adopting use of modern operating systems in their new cars. Most companies seem to couple this generational leap in in-car systems to their EV launches. If you, like me, want the best UX of the in-car system the quickest, it’s an EV you need to get.

I'm not interested in an iPad on wheels. The ideal UX in a car should be as unobtrusive as possible. I should set my destination, select my playlist, and never have to interact with a touchscreen until I arrive at my destination. I have yet to see an EV that sticks to this philosophy. The new Porsche Taycan climate control vents are controlled via touchscreen, for example. This is insane.

As for the environmental aspect, well, I'm probably going to regret saying this openly. We live in a fully industrialized world. Unless we're all willing to go back to using wind power to transport cargo and carriages to transport people, while simultaneously getting the world population back to pre-industrial levels, it's a bit too late. I don't think you're going to be saving anything with your EV. The messaging around this topic is akin to a man who burned his house down and is now discussing smoke alarms. It's too late, my friend.
Anything that is used for tracking requires opt-in, anything that's technically necessary and obvious (e.g. a login session cookie, a setting cookie) does not require any opt-in.
>"Why bother doing anything here as China is polluting so much? The reality is that we have to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions. All. That includes every tonne we release here, in our home country. No matter what <insert another country> does, we have to stop our pollution here Now."

Exporting your CO2 emissions to other countries (in the form of battery manufacture) does not achieve this goal. If anything, it's worse, because other countries like China will happily burn brown coal to power their factories.

And if it really is so important to stop CO2 emissions, then I'm surprised the author of this article raved about the touchscreens and other electronic gadgets present in all EVs, as they are incredibly resource- and energy- intensive to manufacture (equivalent to the energy needed to drive 1000s of miles), and are not necessary. In fact, I'm surprised the author can tell us that we should enjoy the driving pleasure of EVs, which seems a completely luxurious thing in an article telling us we need to make significant changes to our lifestyle to save the environment.

Also - the author only managed 1000km in one year on an ebike? That's embarassing, and makes it hard to justify the manufacturing expense in energy and materials of the battery and motor. I've had to start driving to work on more days, as I don't have the energy now I have two kids, but I still manage 2,500km of commuting per year on a regular bike (which is older than me), and on a very hilly route.

Quick calc: 99.9% of 365 means 8:45 downtime a year. That's not a lot, especially if hardware or power fails.

In my personal experience, given a vendor SLA of 4:00 hours, Dell manages to send you replacement HW on time, but HP has up to now failed to deliver in window every time. YMMV of course. RAID is the only thing keeping us online in these cases.

There is also the normal server maintenance. Rebooting a kernel twice a month, if the reboot takes 2 minutes, already swallows 48 minutes.

Now to be honest 99.9% business hours only is mostly doable if you serve only 1 continent and manage to update/reboot outside business hours. I have a non-critical debian public web server running that updates and reboots every day at 3AM. Mostly because nginx didn't consistently apply lets encrypt certs. So far no one has noticed or at least complained.

I wonder if it is yet possible to lease secondhand EVs? I’ve leased two Toyota hybrids (both new) and for me it’s the way to go.

I'll buy one when the prices are in my range (around $1000).
I really really wanted to disagree with you and bash on ICE's. But then I thought about it and this article's guilt trip is the type of hostility against 'carbon emitting' consumers that is also part of the problem in our fight for survival (and for the survival of whoever is left behind after we are gone).

It is the same lazy strategy as Coca-Cola making you feel guilty about not recycling the plastic they created or BP going on twitter asking people what is their 'climate pledge'.

If we are serious about this fight for survival then governments and Energy industry need to replace Coal and Natural Gas for something else non-hydrocarbon based ASAP and stop Oil & Gas Energy subsidies. Then there is moral ground to ask consumers to feel guilty about their ICE emissions.

- Very few trips are long enough to deplete an EVs battery

- EVs have significantly lower Total Costs of Ownership

- To refuel your petrol car, you have to make an extra trip to the petrol station. While your EV is simply charged where it is parked overnight

- The extraction, refinement and transportation of petrol pollutes way more than that EV battery will

You had -30C winters and no engine block heater and battery tenders/jump kits?

Electric cars only really work at sedan weight/form-factor right now. Most people who need to drive in extreme climates aren't really city drivers and typically need more capable types of vehicles to go with the terrain...if not all out industrial vehicles entirely.

Heavy equipment like that isn't even viable with electric vehicles yet.

This does not make sense. Battery manufacture is no way equivalent to ICE emissions.
I had made this vow.

The charging network in India is next to non-existent but I was OK to risk it and figure out a way to get it installed in my apartment.

To compensate for the lack of charging network I need the range to be 700-800 KM so that I can use it for highway runs. But the ones that are available advertise somewhere between 300-400 KM which translates to 200-300 KM real world.

So I bit the bullet and bought an ICE car. I really hope the range improves in next 5 years. Otherwise electric cars are only viable to those who can afford a 2nd car in India.

For contrast, 31kwh is larger than the original i3 (22kwh) and the new Fiat 500e's entry-level battery (24kwh). Plug-in hybrid cars and SUVs have much smaller batteries typically.
Not a modern one. An outdated, inefficient one, sure. But not one that is actually built to be efficient.

- results page is messy and annoying to parse.

- the site only supports plaintext posts and has an annoying POSTing funnel.

Code in ARM Assembly: Conditional Loops
I boycotted Windows 10 over Microsoft's unethical "upgrade" conduct with Windows 7 (I switched to Linux Mint and have never regretted it). However, on the day Windows 11 was announced I had to reinstall Windows 10 on a 2nd hand PC I bought (to upgrade a Garmin satnav) and I have to say my reaction on re-acquaintance was visceral dislike.

From being forced to have a Microsoft account to being automatically logged in to Skype -- which I last used over 10 years ago and have no desire ever to use again -- to the horrible rotating tiles UI, the whole thing was creepy.

I chuckled on reading about Windows 11 running Android apps. Android is like Windows 7 to me--the end of the line.

The Raspberry Pi V may soon be enough hardware to run enough OS for most people for most purposes.

I'm relieved to be free of Microsoft's treadmill and keen to get off Google's. Nothing I've read about Windows 11 inclines me in the slightest to consider going back to Windows. Seems I'll be switching more people to Linux Mint (friends and family switched already v happy with it).
