EV6 and the Ioniq 5 are the two most exciting EVs on the market now.

My dream car would be the Ioniq 5, but with a Tesla infotainment system.
It's kind of humbling to know that I can't understand any of that. I barely passed mathematics in British high school - but for some reason took to quadratic equations and other slightly more advanced maths in college, I enjoyed it back then - but simply cannot read nor understand just about all of the topics in that thread.

I'd have to look up what the "/" in "M/L" means in the 5th reply (I didn't)

There are so many _symbols_ used in mathematics. It's all as if they're spells written by wizened greybeard wizards and passed down to apprentices throughout the centuries.

GitHub already does this for Jekyll automatically.

I run a couple of charity's websites on their own custom domains from GitHub. The charity workers use github's web UI to edit the markdown and submit, and it automatically rebuilds the site quickly (O(minutes))
You can do something a little like this with Nuxt and Nuxt Content:

On the surface it seems like a pretty roundabout way to work, but the static generation side of things works well. Not quickly (well, not Hugo-quickly).
Better read http://n-gate.com/software/2017/07/12/0/, at least it's funny.
Yeah, I’d like some explanation of how the author “knows” LE is an NSA asset, and how one could determine that a CA is not an NSA asset. (And I won’t accept “all CAs are NSA assets” without some deeply compelling evidence)
Yes, that would be nice too. Haskel, APL, modern Python written in a way that is easier to understand and easier to use. This has to be done by someone who is "at home" in these languages. I prefer to go the conventional imperative way - although APL has always fascinated me. For beginners, I think the imperative way is still easier to understand. Also, almost the whole computer science world is based on programs written in the "old" C programming language. With a lot of loops, conditions and even jumps with "goto".
Science communication is a curriculum and career nowadays, and with that comes a lot of mediocrity.
rustdoc, the tool being discussed, generates a full, interactive web application as documentation.

Plus, while one can dump plain text to HTML files it's still easier to just print the text.
It is a bit about authentication - it is meant to authenticate you are talking to the owner of the domain (which is different from authenticating the person behind it).

Compare that to pure optimistic encryption which has very different properties than https.

[P.s. If anyone says OV and EV certs... those haven't been very effective so im ignoring them]
That was incredibly attractive to me when I was a kid. Then when I was an adult I worked with some engineers who were hams and suddenly found I could afford the radio kit so I got a license. Almost immediately found out it was all racist old men talking about health problems and religious matters around antennas. Disappointedly I sold all the kit and never bothered again. I still keep the license up to date for when I get old and have health problems to talk about.

Much as most hobbies these days most of the ham operators don’t actually operate stuff as well. They just buy stuff and arrange it and post on QRZ forums about it.
I meant our universe is the simulation, but I like that one too.
> There is no need to ask for consent for every Stylesheet you load from a CDN. You’re allowed to use cloudflare, cloudfront, fastly,… - they’ll all provide the required DPA that allows you to use them without consent.

And Google doesn't? (Honest questions)

On first look serving a font from Google and a stylesheet from Cloudflare seem very, very similar things.
That's an absurd and bad-faith reframing of what it means to take issue with inequality. Voluntarily taking a salary cut with no other stipulation would not help lower-income workers; the surplus would go straight into shareholders' pockets. Unless you're the CEO, and have the authority (and the will) to actually redistribute those funds, it would be comically pointless martyrdom (and I think you know that).

So no, I don't take steps to "reduce my wages" towards the median. But I do make donations to people who are trying to improve the status quo, and I do support unions and other efforts at real power-rebalancing, even if they mean a pay cut for myself one day, because that would be for the sake of an actual positive impact.
That concept reminds me if Joel Splosky's CityDesk[1] software which ran locally (desktop rather than web) and had a publish button to upload the results.

I quite liked it but development tailed off after a couple of years so I imagine it failed in the marketplace.

The Model T Ford and the VW Beetle would like to have a word. If you'd like something "original" as you put it, then you better be prepared to fork up for that originality.
imo. WPF seems like a good framework that will last a while, while not being a pain to work with like WinForms. I know there are better options nowadays but WPF is a trusted and established technology that will probably not fade a way for quite some time, simply because "it works" and there is no real reason to get rid of it.
Another (ex-)Seattleite who's very much in their target demographic but never heard of it. These guys really gotta step up their promotional game!

I live in Victoria now but once things at the border lighten up I'll be visiting Seattle again often. Can't wait to see this.
Again, you're still doing what I said you shouldn't do. Compare those to highways to nowhere in the United States, or to many northern roafs in Canada. They are not used nearly enough to justify paying for their maintenance either, but we understand their necessity so that everyone is connected.
Agreed...I found Hugo to be an incomprehensible hairball. I spent days and days trying to get it doing what I wanted without success.

Jekyll however was a pleasure to use and I got the results I wanted in an afternoon.
I would recommend checking out Dacia and Lada (coincidentally now both are now under Renault group)

I maintain, the Windows 8.1/10 mobile OS was superior to iOS and Android. At least in terms of UX. Microsoft should have tripled down on app support and brute forced their way into the market, as they're doing now with Game Pass.
Possibly the reason why you had no idea is that Caddy -- while legitimately amazing -- has documentation that feels something like you're playing a 1980s text adventure, stuck in a maze of twisty tunnels.
One thing I was flabbergasted at recently was Tesla offering, and the government allowing, regular drivers to use a yoke steering wheel like F1 drivers. Not only is it harder for the average person to handle but their firmware hadn't accounted for the fact that if you steer fully left or right the yoke is upside down and if you try and indicate it ends up indicating on the wrong side.

What is wrong with a wheel and function stalks?

Gimmicks like this, and they are gimmicks, are dangerous and it's concerning no regulator seems to care enough to stop it.
> Specifying LE in CAA means that I authorize noone to issue certificates for my domains, except for US-based forces. That is something I will never do, being the citizen of completely independent jurisdiction. I am not a traitor.

Uh... okay...

it is a progressive idea, but the paradox is that psychological safety is most easily achieved through homogenising teams.

Think about situations where we voluntarily cohere into groups - girls night out, D&D role playing night, weekend watching the game (with fans of the same team). These are all great psychologically safe things to do, precisely because everyone else is in-group. Indeed, these events get significantly disrupted when a newcomer is present, as suddenly it may not be possible to speak / behave as freely as before.

We had this before with banning communists from government and Hollywood. Communists spread far more misinformation than Joe Rogan and were responsible for far more violence than Jan 6 rioters. It sounds to me that Neil Young, Nils Lofgren and Joni Mitchell would have fully agreed with MPAA at the time?

> And if you're that worried about it why not do full disc encryption on top of it all?

It does not necessarily solve the problem. The provider could steal the keys in memory when the disc is accessed. Anyway, hosting stuff at home does not fully solve the issue: you still have to trust your machine's firmware / hardware. So… HTTPS should never be used?

The only guarantee HTTPS gives is that the communication between the client and the server is encrypted, not that the server is not compromised. HTTPS does not worsen the situation. Nobody should use HTTPS for authentication, that's not what it is for (edit: well, except the bit about domain ownership, agreed)
According to Keynes most of the wealth was never created because the shiny brain parasite called gold was considered wealth and its liquidity preference exceeded that of physical capital.

When you think about it, gold never changes over time, so calling it wealth is obviously absurd. The moment you have dug it out, you apparently have wealth. People like living in a parallel world I guess.
Depends, kernel bypass isn't just about avoiding the kernel, a lot of the cards used are specifically desinged for this and come with much lower latency (as low as 1us to write a packet).

Eliminating a kernel copy of the buffer being made will improve the performance significantly, but probably won't get you the same performance as a specialised card which would be what you'd usually go for if it's that important.
I think it's more that big co want us to lease everything so they can dictate the prize. You can't afford a house, you have to pay even for the transport to your non-self-controlled work... All you have is your ass.
> If it was shown that we could eliminate sars-cov-2 via herd immunity I'd probably be a bit more keen to encourage it but I still don't think I'd support mandates unless we had some crazy ebola mutation and people started dying in massive numbers.

Triple vaccinated and completely in agreement.

An argument can always be made that they fill up hospitals, but that same argument can be made against parachuting, being overweight, racing (or driving in general), all alcohol etc.

If choice is to meaningful it includes bad choices.
You could look at hooking up a static site generator to WordPress -- the Gutenberg WYSIWYG editor is really very impressive.

Or if they are using a Mac, just give them RapidWeaver.
That's an interesting distinction to make! That said, i don't entirely agree with all of it:

> So if you want the paycheck - you need to sell the dire need to tweak fonts every couple of months.

You could say the same about addressing technical debt. Or introducing containers. Or a service mesh, or another form of service discovery, load balancing, circuit breaking. Or refactoring your old code. Or adding more tests, or more kinds of tests (e.g. chaos engineering, or even browser automation tests). Or clustering your database, or maybe sharding it. Or rewriting your software in Rust, for stretching this argument a bit further.

Many products out there could be considered "finished" in their current form, maybe only apart from security updates which need to be constant (to address things like Log4shell), or maybe scaling them (though that shouldn't always require constant rewrites, short of a very optimistic growth scenario).

For example, if Skype's development stopped 5 years ago (or before whenever the last redesign happened and new features were added) and it remained "stable", the world wouldn't be any worse of a place or even the product worse off than it is now, at least in my eyes. Of course, many say that it's largely dead and has been displaced by the likes of Zoom or Teams which is perfectly fine albeit probably not very relevant to the discussion - it's not like their updates seemed to help them much in this regard.
I would also add it doesn't really make much sense.

Could the nsa/fbi/cia/etc force lets encrypt to mis-issue a certificate for some domain at the point of a gun? Sure.

Certificate gets logged in cert transparency logs (required for browser to trust it). If someone notices everyone knows, huge outcry. Sure they could do it once, but how would they do it a second time? It would have to be a very high value target to be worth it.
Oh no you don't want them
I would argue against this being “static” in the pure sense of the word (since Caddy is still going to parse the markup, etc.), but it is an extremely neat trick.
I know, that's not a limit tho. you get the canvas origin from the engine and offset the animation. you keep a pool of div on the side, and when you need one depending on your culling result you attach the sprite image as a background, tweak the css animation start,end and attacch it to the overlay. you keep a relative offseted parent on the div, so that as the canvas scroll, you can adjust it wherever you go. overflow hidden takes care of the visibility if they go out of the canvas area.

hybrid canvas html game are a joy to work with, there's no reason to limit oneself to canvases as long as you can export and import events to the external world. I've built some, and having for example the ux in html sending control events to the canvas cut the development time a lot. all these 2d libs have painful ux api, with dreadful limitation, while in html you can just slap whatever stile and it'll always be crisp.

> Locks are generally a mild deterrent and "proof it was broken into".

Exactly this. This is why the American style locks that are vulnerable to bump keying are so very very bad. Anyone with a $1 tool and a mallet with zero skills can break in without a leaving a trace.
There is probably at least 1000 electrical engineers in the Gothenburg, Sweden area alone that would disagree with you. Companies like VCC, Geely, CEVT, Volvo, Polestar and first tier electronics, digital, system and software consultants are sweeping the job market clean to be able to handle all in-house electronic design work.

The pendulum from just sourcing from companies like Bosch, Continental turned hard about five years ago. Now electronic and SW design is critical diversification, and part of what creates core value in automotive.
Except COM isn't obsolete and since Vista is the main delivery mechanism for native APIs on Windows, UWP is basically COM with TLB replaced by .NET metadata and some ABI improvements.
I don't remember where I got the quote, but it fits: "Competition in academia is so dirty and brutal because the stakes are so low."
I'd argue that Gatsby et al aren't in fact SSGs but rather thinly veiled React apps.
Dumb cars are on the market. You can buy a brand new Dacia with little options. They sell well.

You can also buy a Caterham if you really want something simple and fun to drive (but unsafe).
I've had cars with electric and manual windows. I'm 27 (so you don't think I have been biased by a lifetime of manual) and I prefer manual crank in all but a single use case: the situation where I want to wind up or down the passenger side window.
Sounds like someone pushing quackery, honestly. "Science-based medicine is flawed and sometimes make you feel bad! Obviously, you need quackery!"

This also paints a too-simple picture, since there are obvious things like the promise of quick recovery if you do simple stuff (cancer being a big one) and the alternative medicines seeming cheaper than regular medicine (It may be the only treatment you think you can afford in the US). Not to mention the dismal state of "Health classes" - I'm a little over 40, and those classes mostly just told you about the parts of the body, the food pyramid, and that sex was bad and would probably kill you through disease unless you only had sex with another virgin.
> Yeah, that's false. [1] He used the word "xenophobia" in direct response to the border closures.

I've watched the debate on this specific quote from Europe. I don't know how it was meant but I read it as "Please stop calling this the Chinese virus" (or something such, I don't remember the exact terminology adopted by Trump at the time).

Seen from Europe, the way that Trump called it was indeed... surprising. Everybody else (in our media) called it "the coronavirus" or "covid". I'll take your word that everybody was using that term in the US, I don't follow CNN or NPR.

Took me some time to realize why US Conservatives understood that tweet as branding closing travel from China as racist.

Now, I remember that closing travel from China was very much criticized, but for other reasons:

- the way it was implemented was extremely porous (you only needed to change plane anywhere on the way and you could get into the US), so this travel ban was guaranteed to have very little impact on circulation of the disease;

- actual policy didn't block travel from China, as US citizens (and I think several other countries, if my memory serves) could take a plane from China to the US.

- numbers from China closing internal travel showed that it had delayed the epidemic by ~24h, if my memory serves, so epidemiologists kept warning that it wouldn't solve anything but were drowned in the media circus;

- epidemiologists were begging for quarantines to be implemented – they weren't.

In other words, that travel ban was basically security theater.

> Calling vaccines "rushed" is anti-vaccination disinformation.

Have to agree with you on that one. Fortunately, I believe that this didn't last.
I'd love to know how you arrived at that conclusion, as it seems extremely illogical.

Text based interfaces and terminal applications came first exactly because they are simpler than web browsers and applications.

We're not talking about a "TUI" app here - a terminal doc tool just dumps plaintext and terminates.
You have more faith in humanity than I do, friend.
But I hope you're right, while I find it difficult to convince myself that a touch screen is cheaper than physical buttons, it probably is a premium product in this brave new, software defined world.
That's just saying it works together so long as you define working as what it does.
It doesn’t actually, because the point stands on its own.
All the time those fact checkers are provably biased (haven't seen none of them fact checking the early statements that masks were useless) they are useless.

If however fact checkers were a pain in the butt for mainstream media and politicians as well they would be much easier to listen to.
And also people who find it more difficult to formulate the explaination of what needs to be done, than to just do it.
Just like electric cars don’t have a motor, another word for motor is transmission in the common parlance.
it depends on the type of missle silo. for instance the TitanII where manned.
> Lawmakers knew from the beginning the shakiness of the Bush administration’s case for going to war with Iraq, and Biden not only went along with it, he championed it.

> [Biden] was able to choose all 18 witnesses in the main Senate hearings on Iraq. And he mainly chose people who supported a pro-war position.

More?

> Iraq in 2002 was devastated by economic sanctions, had no weapons of mass destruction, and was known by even the most pro-war experts to have no missiles that could come close to the United States. The idea that this country on the other side of the world posed a security threat to America was more than far-fetched. The idea that the US could simply invade, topple the government, and take over the country without provoking enormous violence was also implausible. It’s not clear how anyone with foreign policy experience and expertise could have believed these ideas.

> Senator Dick Durbin, who sat on the Senate intelligence committee at the time, was astounded by the difference between what he was hearing there and what was being fed to the public. “The American people were deceived into this war,” he said.

- Also from the Guardian link.

And that's just war. We were lied to about sugar; about margarine, about recycling, about oil spills, about agricultural pollution, about public transport. We were lied to about trade, espionage, healthcare. Repeatedly, barefacedly. Lies are the most bipartisan issue in America.

In the face of all this, we're told the enemy is distrust itself, told to trust the science, told to believe that Biden and the Dems are fighting for us. We're told anti-war news outlets and comedians are secretly communist, Russian funded. It's all such utter wank.

They can watch blitz of bullet games, it is by far more entertaining.
The saddenning part that the majority of the drivers are very proud and enjoy their electronic windows. I guess potentially manual windows could be an option in the new cars, but I'm afraid the most of the new car buyers prefer as much of gimmicks in their cars, about which they could boast right after their purchase. The adults are really just children with the thicker wallets.
Media Foundation is registered as one is supposed to use CoCreateInstance() etc. to create various codecs, for example.

But MF does not require CoInitialize() and indeed one can just use LoadLibrary() and lookup the factory function. That was handy when we needed to use MF in a sandboxed process when CoCreateInstance would fail due to sandbox restrictions on registry access.
It nags you incredibly. Everytime you sit in the car, the pop-up is there, nagging to install now, or to schedule install overnight. The way out of the pop-up is a small [x] to close it. And the dialog is right back the next time, waiting until you (or somebody) will accidentally press the other button.

I have it sitting on that screen, nagging me, and, honestly, it's depressing.
If you are ever in Tuscon go check out the TitanII missile museum. It is something else!
What he said was the truth.
That is why it has not happened.
I would be so happy if they ditched IDL, or at very least improved its development experience, specially with the excuse to wait for C++ reflection to give back the experience of using C++/CX with C++/WinRT, means I will probably retire before they even bother to start.
I have the current gen Mazda 3 and I absolutely love it. Don't miss the touch screen at all.
Samsung refused to repair my phone because of "water damage" - although I was 100% certain that it had never been near any water. I escalated the complaint and it got nowhere. Samsung simply refuse to deal with you after a point.

I ended up going through small claims process. They eventually offered to "settle" by repairing the phone. At this point I had already bought a replacement, so I declined. They ended up refunding the purchase price + court fees.

In short - register a small claim against them. From experience, its the ONLY way Samsung will take your complaint seriously.
They didn’t include the dividends of the S&P 500 either (they said they didn’t use the TR index)
