The one massive caveat I see with the drop-in motor conversions is that it's not just the motor -- you need batteries too. Retrofitting those seems like a much harder challenge. In new designs, they're at the bottom of the chassis, because they're large and heavy. In retro-fits, where would they go? Engine bay? In place of gas tank? It doesn't seem like there is enough room, and the weight distribution considerations are a major concern.

I see this as a niche market at best. The ICE engine at the heart of a vehicle is an old design. Nevermind all the secondary systems that piggy-back off it, these can probably be adapted. But the distribution of drivetrain into the wheels simplifies the construction massively. One huge advantage of the new electric cars is the lower maintenance, especially with the drivetrain. Converted vehicles would inherit many of the legacy problems, plus new issues stemming from kit conversions and interfacing old systems with new powerplants.
What surprises me is how stupid they think we all are and how much they can get away with.
This sounds like something I'd do

Some of us are responsible software owners who prefer to update on our own terms.

I understand the argument that my grandmother should probably enable auto-updates, because otherwise she could easily end up months behind on releases.

But I care deeply about my personal computing environment. I notice every minuscule change because I'm on my computer for hours and hours each day. Sometimes I'm in the middle of some important projects and I don't want anything to automatically update. Sometimes I'm really productive during an afternoon and I don't want to waste time and lose momentum on an update (or some bug, or UI change, as a result of that update). Sometimes I've heard about some problem coming down the pipe in the next update and I'd rather wait until there's mitigations to make that change work better with my specific setup.

Automatic updates basically assume that I have the computing proficiency of my grandmother. But I actually manage my computer in a very conscious, thoughtful way. All software should provide the ability to disable automatic updates (and update nagging) out of respect for power users. It's OK to hide it in a developer or advanced menu. Just give me the option.

That being said: automatic updates are a sensible default for the same reason. But let me opt out, and (Mozilla, are you listening?) for the love of god please don't override my preferences back to automatic updates when you decide to change the UI of preferences.
Last time I checked, x87 (and MMX which uses the same register file) aren't renamed. There's only the architectural register file. At that point these sorts of concerns don't matter because you're not metaprogramming rename hardware through the veneer of the architectural registers.
> “Han Chinese” isn’t based on genetics it’s many different races that call themselves Han because they share culture.

Not quite. Han Chinese is a specific ethnicity. But it is true that "Chinese” isn’t based on genetics, it’s many different races that call themselves "Chinese" because they share culture. Or to cover all cases, it's many different races that the Chinese government calls "Chinese" to push a facade of homogeneity, marginalize minority peoples like Uyghurs, and marginalize minority languages and cultures in China that aren't Han Chinese, though their current nationality is Chinese.
They de facto do. A police officer can arrest you for basically any reason and send you to jail. How long that jail stint lasts depends on what happens after you are arraigned, but you can easily spend a few days in a county jail before the judge shows up after the 3 day weekend to decide if what you were arrested for was legit.

Jesus Christ, you have managed to make it worse than I thought it would be (and I expected it to be very bad). This is the stuff of nightmares, I would never do this while I was conscious. Hell, it would be better if there was pain.
A bigger problem for me is getting them out. At least the dailies I've tried recently (various types). I had a pair of monthlies 10 years ago and I don't remember it being a big problem then.
> JavaScript is a programming language

Ok, fair enough - JavaScript + DOM is a "framework" for creating webapps.
Plasmic is a design tool + page builder + UI builder that lets you drag and drop React components from your codebase, and also generates production-grade React components. The main use case is letting content creators build things like landing pages in Next.js/etc. websites without involving developers.

When we started on this two years ago, we knew we wanted to build a tool to visually create more than just mock-ups, but we were thinking of this primarily as a tool for developers to craft presentational components that ship in rich interactive apps/products. We built a community of users who did exactly this, and we ourselves use Plasmic to build Plasmic. You can see the video from our first launch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_YzFBd7b2I

But the use case that grew fastest was around content management. Especially in marketing and e-commerce sites running on Next.js and other Jamstack frameworks, developers keep getting pulled from core engineering to work on landing pages or complex headless CMS infrastructure (which are also complex for editors to use). We found Plasmic to be a perfect fit here, letting content editors and designers simply create the page they want, without developer involvement, optionally using React components as building blocks. We did a deep-dive recently at Next.js Conf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhEwNlzzobE

We’re continuing to grow as a “visual CMS” but still have an eye on the adjacent use cases. I’d love to hear your questions and thoughts!

Interesting that you chose geology, as I often think that I'd have been happier as a geologist. I imagine there's a risk of getting bored with that as well, if it's your day job and you're doing the same sort of rote work all the time. In my fantasy, the primary appeal is that it's almost the opposite of sitting at a desk, except I suspect most professional geologists spend most of their time sitting at a desk looking at data on a computer. Seems like a fun hobby though!
Regurgitating a, what is little more than gibberish, canned response when you have nothing to say is very different to speaking when you have something of value to say. That it only takes 10 seconds to utter that gibberish does not give it any more value.

Assigning turns so that someone is forced to spit out that gibberish is nonsensical. Allowing someone the floor when they speak up when they have something to say is worthwhile, and something people do naturally. There is no need for an explicit turn where someone must say something.
Those are great examples and we do both.

>> Those are the easy parts because all 3 run off of hydraulics and electricity. As long as they get power supplied to them, they all just work.

Except the heat in your car is transferred from the coolant running through your engine. Which is why the 'heat' in your car doesn't work until you've been driving it for a little bit.

>> Brakes don't even need power, I believe, and can work purely mechanically.

Brakes definitely need power. Have you even driven an older car without power brakes or steering? There's a reason they used to have much larger steering wheels in cars. And most of your brakes are hydraulic with vacuum assist. Turn your ignition off (in a large parking lot) and try to steer or brake your car! The brakes will work once or twice...

You would need to add electric power steering to an older car. You can convert over a Volvo system, get an electric pump, or do it a few other ways.

>> That's generally an issue with high labor costs and not the car industry in particular.

I'm talking just parts. For example, you need a control pack from Ford which contains the ECU and wiring harness which is nearly two thousand dollars, and aftermarket systems aren't even cheaper.

> That said, I don't believe there's many small electric cars.

Most electric car offerings are small cars. Prior to the current generation of EVs, most manufactures offered "compliance cars" which were EV conversions of whatever the cheapest car the manufacture offered in the USA was.

These were sold almost exclusively in California or NY and were sold at a loss. So like, Fiat 500e, Ford Focus EV, Chevy Spark EV, VW eGolf, etc.
I've watched hundreds of meth/"meth" addicts get clean over the past couple of decades. And though the withdrawal period may be short, the amount of time after physical withdrawal until they can exhibit any kind of cohesive and structured thought is generally about 12 months.

This isn’t my personal experience. Farmers markets are always more expensive than going to a grocery store. Substantially so as well.

Otherwise I would spend more time at them.
They still occasionally come out but it’s rare. I haven’t been happy with an AAA game aside from Prey recently (2017 as “recent”) and Cyberpunk 2077 was all hype and no substance. I think they’re running out of new interesting games (Paradox, and Arkane are still good studios though) and many games I’m intrigued by are just remakes.

Starcraft Remastered, AoE II HD, System Shock, the Halo collection for instance, the Homeworld remake didn’t even interest me since I heard it was worst in some ways with hit boxes. They also don’t need new graphics cards. It’s so different from when PC hardware upgrades and games were so much more closely coupled.

Historically almost everyone built their castles in someone else's kingdom. The barons may have complained a lot, but in practice they were much more likely to build another palace in the capital than in some remote swampy place where the king's writ ran less.
EvilCorps are hoovering up a hell of lot more data than I voluntarily give them. I give no data voluntarily to FB, yet with all of their track bullshit they take it from me. I have no idea if a website is using their code or not, so by me browsing said website is not me giving them my permission. Same with Googs and their analytics.
When I look at a post, I want to know:

1. What the company does. Do they even know? Is it something I wouldn't do (e.g gambling)? Is it something I really want to do?

2. Is it better than where I am? Compensation, benefits, things like remote work.

3. What do you want and expect from me that others may not qualify? "React Native" is helpful. "Git" is not.

4. Does the company know what they're doing? I want to follow a leader who can lead. Would you speak the same way to an investor? Verbosity usually means you don't really understand what you're saying. Try to cut down a paragraph to a sentence or consider omitting.
No it's not. Consider the risk that a street criminal could throw a rock through my window and steal my computer off of my desk. Do I put bars on my window? No. Why? Because I have nothing to hide? No, because I don't consider that attack vector to be a high enough priority that I need to take steps to mitigate it.

Threat assessments are purely an engineering exercise. This is orthogonal to the ethical, philosophical, and political discussion of civil liberties. If you have ethical, philosophical, or political concerns about this topic, those are something to be addressed in their respective realms. It is naïve to believe that engineers have power to protect anyone from abuses of civil liberties. Apple hardware engineering team is neither capable nor equipped to be addressing these concerns in their designs.

It'll be a great data point to see what happens when a modern, homogenous country becomes more diverse, in contrast with Japan and Korea that aren't likely to follow the same path anytime soon.

Good to see you and Virgil again!

> I love low level posts like these. It's important we don't forget that C is just one alternative.

Yes!! It's good to know where Linux ends and all the other stuff begins. Existing documentation makes things really confusing, it assumes people want the C stuff. Sometimes it even tells readers they aren't supposed to touch these "internals". It takes a lot of work to unravel this mess and get to the essential stuff.
I'm curious, what exactly do you mean by "persistence-of-vision"?
My favorite thing about this pattern is that it allows developers to build globally distributed applications while reasoning about them like a single, centralized monolith.

A lot of complicated practices that we’ve adopted to overcome the challenges of distributed systems just disappear when you have fast, strongly consistent transactional writes on a single data store. Either a thing happened or it didn’t. No need to wait around and see.

This matters even more as applications move from single failover to multi-region to edge computing with hundreds of locations of compute. How do you get consistent state out to each PoP?

You don’t, you integrate through the database.
The first real programming project I worked on that wasn't just a greenfield toy was maintaining a MUD. In the MUD community you tend to have 2-3 devs per MUD which is usually about 5% of the DAU. The code is insanely old and crusty but people maintain it because they want to keep it alive. You ain't seen crusty until you've seen Diku.

Things happen because people care - a lot of people care passionately about SS13 and, while it may take quite some time (and while SS14 may not be it) I'm pretty sure there will be a SS13 remake eventually.
Exactly. Anybody that looks at the $3900 price tag for the motor and that has never done anything like this before might be tempted to think that they can afford it. If you're going to build it from junk yard stuff then you will be able to stay under $20K, otherwise it will likely be much more.
The contempt towards the “old ways” in this piece is really irksome, especially since those “old ways” are perfectly acceptable for 95% of applications (you only need this hyper scale stuff if you’re running a MAANG level app). The rest of us still doing things the “old way” are perfectly happy to have simple systems that run reliably, as we sit and watch the complete train wreck of complexity everyone else is building using these “new ways” that are supposedly better.
It's up on youtube.
I took a look at the EmacsConf talks and didn't see anything in particular that stood out. Mind pointing something out?

At the end of the day, Emacs and VSCode are extensible environments and editors, so there's gonna be a lot of overlap and some fringe cases that are only possible on either one.

But VSCode is definitely the more immediate of the two. I can install VSCode, sign in with my GitHub account, and immediately have my exact same environment as on any other machine. Any change I make to my environment, such as keybindings or installed extensions gets synced to other installations. I can remote into other computers and again have my same environment, developing as if I was on that computer itself. If I see a colleague with a certain behavior, all I usually have to do with VSCode is ask what extension it is, install it, and then I get the same behavior without any configuration (with Emacs, everyone has their own little custom environment). I don't ever need to be writing Emacs Lisp just to use the environment as I would expect to. You simply cannot do all of this with Emacs with the same usability and immediacy. And this alone is why I use VSCode.

I have tried getting into Emacs. At one point, I was on Windows and needed to run MIT Scheme, which doesn't really work on Windows, so I installed and ran MIT Scheme on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Through some configuration of my .emacs file I was able to get things up and running by using Emacs on Windows and then calling into WSL and Scheme (this is before the days of official GUI support in WSL). It didn't really work in the end, despite all the hackery, one reason being Emacs' terminal is its own little custom thing. So I install VSCode, install the Remote - SSH extension, and I was off and running within minutes developing in a Windows GUI with code running on Linux, as if I was just on the Linux machine. So I never looked back. Any experiment of mine for Emacs meant I spent all this time trying to configure the editor to do what I'd expect rather than doing what I actually wanted to do. With VSCode, I have found that I rarely spend time needing to bend it to my will. It basically does what I need, and if not, there's extensions or simple configurations that accomplish it. I'm almost always working in VSCode and not working on VSCode.

> Any time I read a comment where VSCode is the obvious alternative to Emacs, it's a clear sign the commenter knows little of Emacs.

This is also why people stay away from Emacs.
I've seen elsewhere deviations on the millisec scale and from my memories of reading the RFC NTP, the math is a lot about having a very precise time and correcting the local clock's deviation.

Does it have an importance for everyday use, when you only see the seconds or your program's timers/dates are only caring about seconds, and the network is almost always available?
> Does the browser support (manual) self-updates at all, or has that functionality been disabled entirely?

It has been disabled, as per the policy. It looks something like this in the policies.json file:

}
}

This is why when mainline Firefox increments to the next major version, you have to manually download the corresponding LibreWolf version as LibreWolf closely watches the new mainline updates.

In terms of security, it kind of sucks having to manually do this, but it's a small price to pay for a hardened stripped down Firefox with all the Mozilla crap (Pocket, Telemetry etc) stripped out.
Yep, it's a money-laund^H^H tax-shelter strategy.

As a bit of feedback, I highly suggest adding Webhooks as a source on your marketing site.

The first thing I did is navigate to the Sources page and searched for "webhook" which brought up no results.

I then searched your docs which only mention Webhooks in the context of being a destination rather than a source.

I realise now that you have quite a flexible ingestion API, but it took quite a while (and your confirmation above) to understand this!

The product looks awesome though! Good luck with the launch.

I like the mention of large institutional customers. Is there a way where mozilla can have companies sponsor firefox to be open so that these companies do have to deal with google and MS control and any of the crap that do to try to control it. I guess it is more so that google does not have control because MS is now using chrome engine.

EUV is one of the hardest to target for reflection. I'm not sure what astro is getting in terms of reflectivity if they even need EUV, my guess is Zeiss is crushing that in most cases.
It is not an unpopular opinion. I bet most people here actually work on products that have a fair share of telemetry. How else would you know how your products are doing or what to focus on.
problem as described to me is that excel starts being used for regulated processes and it's not well auditable, access controlled, changed controlled, tracked, etc etc. Then people need to implement the exact same process across departments and they're all using a separate excel sheet and they all submit different numbers. becomes a huge mess and so much more complicated and expensive systems become commissioned.
