$15k is way too low of an estimate. Even if you have a machine shop and the skills can do all the machining and welding yourself. To do the conversion, you'd need (just for components in addition to the motor): controller/inverter (a hefty one), DC-DC converter, charger + BMS, battery, cooling system, accessory adapters for AC/heat, brake pump, etc. + a pile of contactors and wire and other high voltage components.

Then you gotta build motor mounts, adapt to existing manual transmission or figure out some other gear reduction + attach to axles, cases for batteries and other components, wiring, etc.

It'd be a big project and probably around $40k all in by the time you were done.

I can see some of the EV conversion specialty shops using this Ford motor as part of their services though because it is higher wattage than most of the products the DIY market is used to.

Note that this is a higher voltage motor than most DIY electric car conversions are done with, too. So harder to work with safely and harder to configure battery pack.
That's something you learn when wearing contact lenses. One day, it'll move and hide under your eyelid. You'll try to get it back without touching anything but anyway, in some seconds, you'll quickly make it to a point where you don't even care anymore touching your eyeball because you will immediately notice that it's just waaaay less painful than this folded plastic bastard.
We have many of these in the US. I've used two in daycare. One was amazing, the other is pretty good. Both fall short because of poor use by teachers and faculty.
Clojure certainly works with org-babel, though in my experience, there must be done one thing - You have to start Clojure repl, and then jack in with cider, and only then you can evaluate code blocks.

Here is a bit more info regarding it itself.

Ah, good memories. My tipping point was when I watched Krystian’s video “We Are All Game Beginners” [0]. It helped me embrace and acknowledge difficulties that one has to overcome to begin and finish a game, no matter how big or small it is. It took me about three months through a turbulence phase to finish my first game [1]. Also, taking this chance, any Pico-8 enthusiasts?

Before I wrote the first line of code, I had an honest conversation with myself about why I am starting a project and put it on paper as my true motivation and goal. Over the course, I had to remind myself multiple times to be sincere and forgiving. Working on a side means that even the simplest task could stretch over several days, and it is okay.

I particularly enjoyed sharing my work in progress on social media and with my friends. During the darkest moments, I found that a great “hack” is to record a milestone that I am proud of to boost my motivation and push a game a little further. If I may quote Rocky, it goes like:” One step at a time. One punch at a time. One round at a time.”

Another “hack” is to cut it out if something takes longer and drains your energy without any significant progress. Make something even just one person to enjoy. It is already a good milestone.

Ultimately, I took this journey as a self-exploration to get to know my true self better, slay a few dragons on the way in a reasonably safe environment.

The article isn't saying gentrification-complaints are wrong! Gentrification is a serious problem, and the author isn't denying it.

Strong Towns absolutely wants to see money spent making low-income lives better. And the movement does the work to grapple with all these challenges.

Tree-shaded bike paths are cheaper than all the costs of crime and health-care issues that are caused by the unhealthy environments imposed on poor communities.

Here's an article highlighting their critique of luxury-condo-tower approach: https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2017/8/23/beware-the-fou...

And here's a focus on how poorer neighborhoods are actually more fiscally sound while the systems we have effectively subsidize the wealthy: https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2019/2/6/the-hidden-valu...

That one happens to be by the same author as the article you're replying about.

And here's one about the way our suburban experiment is creating poverty: https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2016/8/15/what-does-subu...

The Strong Towns movement is all about addressing these things. And the initial posted article here is about the tragedy of how good-for-humans places are associated with elitism. It's not saying there's no reason for that association, it's saying that association needs to end by way of making everywhere better.
It’s a government system. Of course it’s shit. When private systems are shit, they die. When gov systems are shit they attract more funding.

The simple dynamic of negative monetary feedback for shitness in private enterprise and positive monetary feedback for shitness in government determines this entirely.
I was spending anything from 12 to 16h per day (including weekends) for about 10 months working on my game engine after i quit my day job. Now that I'm working again i still try to throw at least 2-3h at it after work. Mostly i enjoy bit but sometimes there are moments when it begins to feel like a grind too. But unfortunately there's no choice but to grind through those boring tedious parts just go get it done. The key i find is to find the balance between doing the "fun stuff" abd the boilerplate "just has to be done" parts.

People trust those that look more like them. It’s just human nature. It’s why people say all all white jury is racist when defendants are black, or why cops are racist. Putnam’s diversity study also confirmed it. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/does-diversity-cr... the authors hand save the data with the usual ham fisted white people are racist retort. Sociologists aren't respected because of authors like them who have no basis in reality.

To any future HN reader scared by those intraocular injections: don't fear them. I'm on my way to the operating room and going to perform cataract surgery under topical (=eyedrops only) anesthesia, as I always do, and as most surgeons today do. Patients won't feel anything except water slightly flowing on the eye surface.
The surgical knife is 2.2mm wide : the 25 Gauge needle is 0.260mm wide. Anesthetic eyedrop work amazingly.
Patients can actually feel the eye speculum (pro tip: open wide both eyes++, it will be less disturbing) and the itchy feeling of Betadine, and the touch of the needle : that's usually all.

Don't postpone eye injections because of fear: if it is indicated, there is usually some degree of emergency.

> Should read: for x87, unless you are doing this for fun, shoot yourself in the face and instead use SSE because no one in their right mind should be writing x87 code in 2021!

My information is pretty old, but IIRC x87 still has specialized instructions for sin/cos/tan that are sometimes more performant than their equivalent implementations in SSE. x87 instructions are also very small, so trig-heavy workloads where I$ is a measurable performance component might unfortunately still be a good fit for x87.

Listen to the nightmares - it's your subconscious trying to get a message/warning through to you.

There's a Facebook group called LASIK Complications Support Group that has 3-4 people joining it daily desperate for help from the pain they're left with. LASIK as an industrial complex has done well to suppress the problems. In 2011 one of the FDA expert advisors who voted to approve LASIK wrote a public letter to FDA asking them to immediately recall LASIK, as he said there was data they were ignoring that they shouldn't have been ignoring, and that it should never have been approved.

A story of suicide post LASIK (actually specifically she did "SMILE") of a news reporter Jessica Starr - many articles on her, but here's two:
https://www.ctvnews.ca/w5/families-deal-with-repercussions-a... + https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/in-her-own-words-jessica-st...:

""She looked at me and she said, 'Dan [her husband], it's like my eyes and my brain aren't communicating like they used to. I can't process like I used to. I'm not visualizing things like I used to,'" Dan said.'

My hypothesis is that the more creative and sensitive a person is (therefore less redundancy in neural networks) the more fragile and detrimental damage/injury caused by LASIK.

The cornea is the most sensitive tissue in the body with 300-600 times the density of pain receptors than your skin, and LASIK lies - your cornea doesn't/can't heal on its own.

At least wait until the stromal stem cell treatment available clinically. Human clinical trials in India were fast tracked under compassionate grounds, the original research on animal models from University of Pittsburgh, that were highly successful healing/regenerating deep/severe scarring and chemical burns. It'll likely take anywhere from 2-5 years, with the pandemic delaying things, for it to be available in India/US with FDA approval.

This is why I love Bollinger's approach to trucks. They are electric, but focused on utility and simplicity.

While likely way more than I would ever pay for a vehicle, I appreciate the approach to design.

EDIT: If you've got a little time to kill. There are some videos on youtube that give a better idea of what these trucks look like.

I've recently realized that I haven't felt comfortable with doing anything for its own sake.

This revealed itself as I was working on a game engine reimplementation. For two years I was personally satisfied with myself by being able to return to a hobby and actively enjoy my time programming, and I thought I had managed to find something I was comfortable with doing just for myself.

It turned out that I was deceiving myself by saying that I was in it for the personal enjoyment. This was false. I was ultimately working towards a goal that I didn't properly define, which was releasing the engine. This is the goal that everyone talks about when discussing game development, and it is a goal that carries value only because it involves other people - people that learn about and play your game.

So in the future I will have to be more perceptive of the goals I'm hesitant to admit exist. From the beginning, I was only ever going to work on such a project with the eventual goal of making a release, as in making my project have an effect on people other than myself. That meant I was only working on my project for other people, and not for myself. The enjoyment I found in working on it was nothing more than a prerequisite to getting to work. It makes you feel virtuous to think otherwise, but it's nothing more than an elaborate lie.

I don't understand how one could possibly develop games just for their own sake if shipping the finished game to other people is the point of game development.

I guess I would say that if you aren't willing to permanently delete everything that you've worked on the moment you've finished a project, then you're not actually "doing it for yourself". That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but you have to be honest or perceptive enough to be able to admit the truth.

>Companies providing and selling food, energy, and consumer staples are investment materials. I don’t get why housing should be a special carve-out and don’t see a workable answer to how to provide food for everyone while banning all investment in companies that grow or sell food.

Companies providing and selling food are providing a service. Large investors that buy in bulk, keeping new hosing out of the market to keep prices high, are not really providing anything - they are just a different kind of consumer.

I would make a parallel with the relation between gamers and bitcoin miners in the graphic cards market: miners can pay more and buy in bulk, which makes prices rise and prices out gamers. Only in this case, the people who are being priced out are no longer able to cover a basic need.

I would ask her why she didn’t do well on her math test and encourage her to think about strategies she could use to do better on the next one. I believe in providing scaffolding and empowering young minds. I realize there are different parenting styles but at some point the child won’t have anyone else to manage her and will need to solve problems in her own. It’s great if she has a lot of practice and experience with self management by the time she has to fly solo. I suppose if there’s enough wealth in the family she may never need to manage her own affairs, but I feel like she would be missing out on important aspects of life; the pride and comfort that comes with self sufficiency and personal accomplishment.

Here's a real answer from one of the leading experts on narcissism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=achdyuKF9aI

It doesn't matter. The narcissist is not psychologically equipped to use this information, if they even have it. Narcissists will more likely attempt to use their self-awareness against you for their own benefit semi-unconsciously. Narcissism is a reaction to deep childhood trauma that cannot be healed with drugs or therapy in figuratively 99.9% of cases.
I find that physically you are fine when you do this: you can walk around, do house work, etc... but mentally you are shot.

Yeah, but warnings like that confuse owners about what their rights are. I'm starting to think there should be a penalty for businesses who assert rights beyond what they actually have.

I'm not so sure that it would be all that bad even if it was just one shower per 7 people, based on my recollection of my college days.

I believe my house at Caltech has on average maybe 7-10 people per shower room, with each shower room having 2 or 3 shower stalls.

However, in four years there of showering at least once a day I only once ever had someone come in and use one of the other stalls when I was showering. People tended to try to avoid shower rooms that already had a stall in use and were almost always successful at this.

For the first two years, most people who lived in the parts of the house that I did and so would be competitors for the showers I would most likely use were in most of the same classes as me, because (1) the first two years of Caltech had a lot of core classes that everyone had to take, (2) room picks in my house were mostly by seniority, (3) rooms tended to be near other rooms of similar desirability and so people tended to have rooms near people in their year.
Yes, it's pretty focussed on mailing lists as alternative. Having a comment section may work too, but then, it shouldn't be hosted by discurs of course, and you have the trouble of managing it.

Same goes with your own forum, but it's not worth mentioning it almost, since nowadays everyone seems so opposed to a forum. But I believe, a good alternative for a mailing list is RSS (for the people who are tired of signing up for stuff).
It is a joy. When writing code in the ivory tower :-)

Chromium has proper separation of its components (Blink, V8, Desktop, iOS, Android UIs, etc). It's "easier" for a small full-time paid team to detach the default browser UI, implement their own thing and keep the other components up to date.

Examples of this are the Electron Framework [0], Vivaldi, Brave, Opera, Yandex, Edge, etc.

Firefox instead is a nightmare to fork.
They used to have something called XulRunner[1] that allowed to create your own XUL application (things like Seamonkey, Thunderbird used it) thus making it fairly easy to fork Firefox.
After the 41 release Mozilla removed it completely. XulRunner's components were intertwined with Firefox code. Mozilla deliberately killed the easiest way to work their product.

Only light forks like Waterfox, LibreWolf are viable. Hard forks fail or struggle every single time Mozilla releases a new version (SeaMonkey, Waterfox Classic, Pale Moon, etc), lagging behind in features and performance.

Even WebKit is easier to integrate with your own UI (Safari, Gnome Web [2], etc).

I'm a huge proponent of intermittent fasting. After being skeptical at first, I felt I had more energy and was being more mindful about the type of foods I ate. The mindfulness alone may have been the catalyst, but even so, I'll chalk that up as a win.

In case it helps anyone else, I signed up for the Intermittent Fasting guide at www.howtostartfasting.com for the accountability and guidance and thought that was definitely one of the reasons I was able to stick to it and see the benefits.

It's designed for folks who are shift workers and have a changing schedule, but obviously still works and is easier if you have a regular schedule.

YIKES. Automatic updates are incredibly important for security. Disabling them by default is highly concerning.

Does the browser support (manual) self-updates at all, or has that functionality been disabled entirely?
Why do you feel like you need to raise funding? Do you have users today? Do you have a plan for getting users to try your app? Without knowing anything about your app or who your target market is, in general, I'd say you should first focus on getting users into your app and getting feedback on the value it's providing to them. At that point, if you need funding in order to scale, you can start down that path.
I've been Type 1 diabetic for 10 years. Even though my glucose control is excellent over that period (A1C never >6.5%) I've never been able to shake the latent fear that it's a matter of time before I develop complications like retinopathy. What sucks hard is that it's not _just_ determined by insulin and glucose. Exercise, stress, activity level, protein/fat intake, illness, and more can all cause massive variability in glucose levels and insulin sensitivity. Therefore my most successful blanket strategy for glucose control is keeping as consistent a routine as possible: eating the same foods, doing the same activities - at the same time, always exercising regularly, and avoiding spontaneity.

While I've always had anxiety, it's only become worse over the years given the fear of having issues in both day-to-day blood sugar management and in being diagnosed with long term complications. Living with T1D often feels like a case study in applied stoicism.

Why aren't you equally as mad at the personnel at your child's school? It's one thing for a national or semi-national rollout of broken enterprise junk, it's another thing for your child's instructor to go along and demand that you use this broken system instead of providing reasonable affordances (e.g. low-tech, paper-based notices/forms that get sent home with your kid).

For that matter, how do your school systems handle the situation where no one in the household is able or willing to install the damn thing because e.g. you don't own an iOS or Android device, or you have no smartphone at all? Is there an actual legal requirement for you to contribute on an ongoing basis to the bottom-line of select tech companies like Apple and Google in order to participate in public life—as if it's on par with the necessity to pay for e.g. renewing your government-issued ID?
