The braking is way way more complex because of regenerative. That isn't a factor with ICE.

Trust me - it's not simpler. I know you think we just apply power to the motor and go, but that is not the case. There are facets of "soft start" and it ties in to traction control, there are efficiency processes, etc. Instead of map tables for rpm and injection, you have battery heating and cooling targets with current sensed feedbacks and torque targets, and bla bla bla. Stop making me bring work home with me! ;)

EVs are not simpler. It's literally impossible in automotive to ever get simpler. At least since the 1970s. I think we're hitting a point of unsustainability and the people in charge think OTA firmware is going to fix that, I think it'll make it much worse.

EDIT: fwiw, I wish I could go back to a time when backup camera was even mention worthy of "things I consider complex in a vehicle". It's just a couple shielded wires and plugs into the radio/telamatics. I can tell you without a doubt that the starter in most vehicle is now far more complicated, to the point it too has it's own microcontroller and data bus (typically LIN, not sure I've seen a CAN yet).
It's been a lot more than two years though, it's closer to 15.
wow. I just had a scan done a few weeks for precisely this sort of thing (drill guide), and I was really impressed by the software. But I was also completely puzzled by what the actual data input (from the wand-like thing) consists of?

Any chance you could enlighten me?

p.s. the drill guide arrived, the implants go in next week!

I did not mention nuclear safety anywhere, why do you bring this up? If you insist on discussing it I can bring up that US nuclear power ends up all the way at the bottom of the list over the mortality rate (direct deaths and epidemiological estimates) with 0.1 lives lost per trillion kWh. Global nuclear, that is including Chernobyl, Fukushima and all other known accidents in the last 40 years ends up higher at 90 deaths/trillion kWh. The list, in order from low to high mortality goes like this:

Mortality rate in deaths per trillion kWh

0.1 - US nuclear

5 - US hydro

90 - nuclear

150 - wind

440 - solar

1400 - hydro

4000 - natural gas

10000 - US coal

24000 - biofuel and biomass

36000 - oil

100000 - coal

170000 - China coal

Another thing, I related to the shutdown of Swedish nuclear power, not German nuclear power so why did you bring up those numbers on Germany? It is very clear that the closure of those Swedish nuclear power plants - which could have run until 2036 without problems, by which time replacements would have been in place - has made the electricity supply in Sweden less reliable and the price swings more frequent and intense. The oil-fired peak power plant in Karlshamn would normally only be fired up in the cold of winter but last year it was used in the middle of summer to avoid a brown-out in Stockholm.
Intel has some 15 or so fabs already in the US (most upgraded multiple times), and is constructing two giant new ones in Arizona.

The continental US has a good amount of domestic production capacity. The "problem" is that TSMC and Samsung got a node advantage on Intel, drawing a lot of the performance part manufacturing (including Intel contract work). Will this Ohio plant be competitive on the edge? I haven't seen information indicating that, and the two Arizona fabs Intel is building (operating in 2024) are targeting 7nm.

Samsung (3nm) and TSMC (5nm) are both building fabs in the US as well. A pretty healthy subsidy by the government and various levels of government lubricated the choice. It's good for the sanity and economic stability of the world if everything wasn't concentrated in Taiwan.

I recently stopped using google and switched my default to DuckDuckGo. So far I haven't needed to go back to google for anything.
"Google has created guidelines for “inclusive” language in software and documentation that describe how software should reflect the hypersensitive feelings of programmers who are immersed in woke culture and fixated on victimhood and offense. Apparently these guidelines will be enforced in the future in all new open-source projects, and the company will scrub earlier versions as well.

...

It isn’t surprising that standard programming terms such as “master/slave” and “whitelist/blacklist” are now verboten. Nor is the nixing of gendered pronouns. But apparently, for reasons that elude me, the use of “black box,” which has no negative connotations I am aware of, is also inappropriate, according to Google’s guidelines.

...

Other terms describing computer programs have also been proscribed. A developer can no longer say that some functionality is “crippled” by a bug or that anomalous data seem “crazy.” And “dummy variable,” a key term in coding, should now be replaced with “placeholder,” which seems no more inclusive to me, and I doubt a dummy variable, even if it could care, would.

My favorite proscription is against the word “smartphone.” Presumably Google assumes other phones will be offended.

Been a few years since I heard anyone claim the bay area or SF was really great.

We had our time. It was great. Now a new era starts.
I think there are stress/psychological factors. I developed RSI while being in a very bad living & working situation.

I've switched to COLEMAK and I still have pain. Does that mean COLEMAK doesn't work? Maybe. Or, since my pain level has stayed manageable it could mean I'd be worse off without it. I've been doing other things too. It's hard to reason on a sample of 1.
Personal anecdote, but I know a few people who got RSI/CTS and had a chance to watch them type --- and what they all had in common was how "stiff" their typing posture was, and the strength at which they hit the keys. They weren't fast either, probably in the 50-70wpm range. One of them, before he got RSI, even commented on how bad my posture was and how it'd "make it easier to injure myself".

I find that relaxing, as counterintuitive as it may sound at first, actually helps with typing speed and comfort. To me it makes sense that if you tense up all your muscles and punch the keys really hard, you're much more likely to injure yourself, slow down, and tire more quickly. I think the vast majority of keyboards also have too high of an actuation force, which also adds to the strain of typing. If you look at videos of fast typists (150wpm+), they don't look like they're exerting much effort at all; many of them aren't using the "standard" key-to-finger mapping, and a lot of them "smear" their hands all over the keyboard. Here's one example (not me):

A ground invasion of the USSR wasn’t just plausible, a bunch of Allied troops left over from WWI were landed at Arkhangelsk to actively fight the Bolsheviks in cooperation with White Russian forces. [1]

Yes. Essentially, when you see an edge, update the state immediately but have a guard interval before allowing further state changes.

Intuitively, this means register the event when you see the first edge, not once the bounces have finished.

For an example of incorrect denouncing, see most articles on denouncing (the hackaday article comes to mind), and the QMK firmware last time I checked (most keyboard set the denounce time to zero, so the debounce time just becomes the update rate).

One thing that could make some sense is if the US surrendered and they had to come in and take over the government --like governing us. In that unlikely scenario, they would need to have this info. On the other hand, why not just have a puppet government instead? Their long term goal was to Sovietize the world so, who knows, maybe these were dreamer cartographers.
Would the US u2 overflight maps of the USSR be broadly similar? I'm not trying for whataboutery, it's the comparison of interest: how well an you account for place names and features from what's available? The Russians had access to a lot of information, OS maps for instance.

All the Americans had were often photogrammetry and after satellite imagery.

For the DDay invasion, It is said the allied planners asked to see tourist maps, snaps, and postcards to help compile planning maps for the invasion and immediate days after. Beach profiles, off beach structures to compare with aerial photography for bunker finding, tide profiles, you name it.

(Like other art college students my mum did map tracing at uni preparing invasion maps and escape maps for the troops)

Well if we're not super worried about implementation difficulty right now:

* 1 and 4-7: Don't worry about where the pointer goes, as long as you treat it like an int in this function. If there are going to be warnings about improper pointers, they should be at the call sites.

* 2 If overflow will either trap, wrap, or behave like a bignum, then it's not the dangerous kind of UB, so no warning by default. Consider extending C so the coder can more easily control integer overflow.

* 3 Anything could race. Out of scope, don't worry about it.

> Someone watching YouTube videos is sucking down hundreds of megabytes if not gigabytes per hour: the higher-resolution the video the more bandwidth required. Most video game assets require less bandwidth (megabytes per minute of consumption time), and can be cached locally.

This is completely incorrect. Games regularly saturate and are limited by the 80-100MB/s that can be streamed from a PS4 or Xbone hard drive. This is in fact the biggest differentiating feature of next gen consoles - the switch to NVME and even streaming directly from disk to the GPU, bypassing the CPU bottleneck.

Meanwhile YouTube video, and indeed most streaming video, is well under 10MB/s. Netflix is even content to only recommend 25mbit/s for 4k HDR content.

> Games designed to be downloaded have a relaxed size budget and can afford plenty of inessential bloat.

This is such an arrogant and asinine statement. Games already exclusively ship highly compressed assets. They aren't just pissing away storage space for the lulz, and if they only tried a little harder could somehow cut sizes to 1/1000th of what they are today. Especially not to satisfy the needs of a platform that provides nothing but problems and headaches.

You can't simultaneously claim that WASM and WebGPU will enable a new era of high quality web based games while just entirely ignoring all the actual problems with shipping games on the web. Which WASM and WebGPU literally solve none of the issues. WebGL2 is already competitive on feature set and capabilities with mobile, and yet casual web games are still largely dead - a regression from the flash era, even.

IMHO you could very easily raise the price to $15 and probably not lose any sales. Having a low price still has to overcome the concern of trusting your credit card to some website. Once someone has overcome that hurdle, 8 vs 15 is a tiny difference. I had software I sold at $25 originally and eventually had it at $99. Also, price signals quality.

Electron abstracts plenty else that's 'OS based', for all I know/knew it has/had a printer API.

Cross-platform apps are what it's about; it wouldn't be accidental. There are plenty of Electron apps that work and are packaged by third parties for Linux that only advertise (by the first party) Mac & Windows support. Spotify I think, for example.
To be fair: MSWord itself seems to know very little about ToC or ToC formatting. And pagination. And page numbering. The best that can be said for it is that it succeeds often enough that people do not all abandon it.
Could you share some references for your claim. I have always heard, read and understood that urine is sterile.
-O3 mostly is “try harder” but in practice it is more about using more experimental/dangerous techniques than thinking harder. That’s because, basically, compiler optimizations aren’t as important as people think and there aren’t amazing insights you can come to by thinking harder.

If there were, it’d be better for the compiler to tell the programmer about them rather than rediscover them every compilation.
Experiment for a month or two with a price at $10 or $15. You might be surprised to find sales increase with a higher price (to a point of course).
Google has "kinda" allowed this to happen for a number of years. They used to push sites to have a "first read free" policy so that their bot can still access semi-gated content.

Now they suggest "flexible sampling" [0] to let "users" view a limited amount of content per time period.

This is a game Google has been playing for a while that goes beyond SEO and seems to really be some issue with publishers. But to be fair there are a number of instances where publishers want free access to Google's search pages and users while requesting a fee for writing the content they indexed in the first place.

>> YouTube videos is sucking down hundreds of megabytes if not gigabytes per hour

> This is completely incorrect. [...] YouTube video, and indeed most streaming video, is well under 10MB/s.

10 MB/s is the same as 36 GB/hour. So we are in agreement.

But what game uses more than 36 GB of assets for 1 hour of play? I can’t imagine that is at all common. What kind of assets are they shipping that use that much data?
Tbh, typing speed doesn't matter much to me: I still need to think, which usually takes much more time than converting those thoughts into keystrokes.

> but the pinky and ring finger are such weak fingers that it's often better to move the index or middle fingers up or down a row than hit a key on the home row with the pinky.

Spot on, I would go as far as saying that using the pinky at all is poor technique because it indicates one reaches keys by stretching the fingers, rather than hovering the hand over the keyboard, allowing each finger to remain in its natural position, and using only the fingers that are naturally strong and precise.

If I follow this reasoning correctly, some ideal future version of "crypto" will be decoupled from corrupt governments, it will operate in a much more stable and equitable way than today's currencies, and the current imperfect state of things - when we are still too attached to fiat - is just a temporary transition. Just to entertain that idea. Sounds a bit too good to be true though.
Sorry about that. Thanks for the correction!

My research is that it is actually a pretty bad way for me to spend my money across boarders. I haven't seen a practical, affordable, way to transfer money via crypto that is better in any way than retail banking. I suspect that outside of Iran and Venezuela, crypto is pretty useless as an international commerce device.

Inflation wasn't a problem in March 2020 -- at least it wasn't a primary concern at that time. As you said, first crypto sold off (just like stocks) and then rallied aggressively for the next 20 months or so (just like stocks). Bitcoin's entire existence has been during a major extended bull rally in stocks -- it's never been tested during a market crash or bear market like 1999 or 2008.

> a Macbook Pro draws 30 W when in use. If in use for 6 consecutive hours, it would draw roughly 160W per day

While I do find their lifestyle fascinating, there's a nit I feel compelled to pick here. Watt is a unit of power, while watt per time is a unit of energy. If the Macbook draws 30 W and used for 6 hours, it would have consumed 180 Wh exactly. If it draws 30 W for 6 hours every day, then it would be 180 Wh per day. I have no idea how authors ended up at 160 W per day, which doesn't make sense.

For the things that I've work on, in addition to regular health checks, we always write custom load generators that _really_ understand the domain and were configurable to realistic traffic levels. You can always leave them running, instrument them with metrics, and plug it into your alerting infrastructure so that you can page based on "realistic" client-side observable behavior. It's a super useful addition to the occasional time you need to do a performance/scale test.

Is there a generic load tester that allows you to define enough calling information about the APIs to get the same level of value out that I described?
I think there is a dual purpose. Maybe triple:

1. The Orwellian sense of constraining thought. Personally I think this gives the people making these rules too much credit.

2. "Virtue signaling" or whatever you want to call it. There is a self-reinforcing desire to show everyone how progressive (or devout generally) one is and it spirals out of control

3. The origin of a lot of this stuff is essentially agitators who want to cause trouble and find things to get unhappy about generally. Another way of looking at it is that it's just a bunch of trolls. I think it starts with trolling, and then terrified, risk averse administrators end up at my point 2 above because they don't want to risk standing up to the trolls.
