It's unlikely. Anything attached to the wheels is "unsprung mass", and it has a huge effect on the handling and comfort of a car. Furthermore, for efficiency, you really want to minimize rotational inertia in the wheels.

Sure, for slow vehicles where these things don't matter, hub motors work great, but not for your typical road going car. They could put one of these near each wheel and drive the wheels via axles.
I picked up both a Google Nexus 10, and a Samsung Tab Pro 12.2, when they came out.

Google gave us a year or two more for software updates, but it was a grossly under-powered device - when it started to play up, I tried to install Cyanogen / Lineage on it, but determined it was actually a hardware problem. I think it lasted about five years.

The Samsung promised more - bigger, faster, longer battery, the after market stylus was great - but they abandoned updates, and I think that whole product line, a short while later. (We all have a 'and I'll never buy from X again' experience, I'm sure.) Lineage works well on the device, still, and it's great for large-format book-reading if you don't mind the eye-strain.

I experimented with bluetooth keyboard + mouse for a while, but latency of the device itself was awful. Graphics work with the stylus was okay, but not great. Audio suffered the same horrendous latency issue as every other android tablet. I think that's still not resolved - and was one of the compelling features of IOS, IIRC, which is where you had to go for the really good audio apps.
They typically remove themselves.
Although it has never threatened the Mac in the way many expected.

Even Microsoft pivoted their operating system to be tablet friendly, at the expense of desktop users, only to find the market is quite small.
But how? React is a library to implement and structure your architecture in a certain way. Wasm is just a language. Wouldn’t you need a React-like framework in Wasm to get the same benefits?

Edit: I guess you mean you’d compile your React app to Wasm, no?
It would be too good to be true if it didn't taste horrible.
I searched some time ago and didn't find any, so they probably don't. They do distribute the sources of their manager app and their fork of microG tho.

How about the GNU/Linux Name System?

For an electric car, the hardest part to design is the battery. It's really expensive, and really heavy. If you spend a ton of engineering effort to make your engine 50% smaller and $500 more expensive, all you've done is lowered your profit margin for a tiny decrease in weight. If you instead put the same engineering effort into the battery and manage to make it 5% smaller, you get a bigger weight reduction for the car, and it's probably accompanied with a lower price.

Optimizing things that aren't a bottleneck is almost never a good use of resources.
I would love a high quality android tablet.

I have an iPad at the moment and.. it's a toy. I've bought stupidly expensive software and in a pinch I can kind of code and push up to a git repo.. and that's about it. Not even linting or feedback on code. I can't even access my notes because file sync is so damn broken on iOS. God help you if you need to move around an ssh key.

On my android phone, I can at least do all the things I want to do. I even have an actual real bash shell! It's just that it's a phone and while I can connect a keyboard, it's a tiny screen. It'd be nifty to have a usb port or two extra instead of just the one.

The Microsoft Surface, despite being stuck in Windows, is the best "tablet that's usable as a computer" around. It does everything you want it to be able to do, though you're stuck with Windows which is missing a touchscreen based ecosystem.

I'd love to see Google produce a good android tablet with quality hardware, expand AndroidOne to tablets, and maybe even see some competition and new features. Build in a kickstand. Get real stylus support. Give me two or three usb c ports.
I saw a comment a few years ago from a guy that claimed to design electric motors. He said the design space is pretty hashed out. But what's changing is controls and use cases.

That said I think rocket lab gets 50hp out of the soup can sized motor they use for their turbo pumps.
I honestly think that the reason Youtube gave for removing dislikes based on their will to protect “the minority” from harassment is plain BS. I personally don’t see anything brave on it. IMO There are much clever and better mechanisms YouTube could have implemented to prevent that claimed “harassment protection”: What about requiring the user to watch certain proportion of the video in order to allow to like/dislike it? What about doing a better job detecting and purging bot accounts? What about improving the feedback loop from the user when he/she dislikes the video? What about improving the shitshow that is the copyright violation claim system which is something that truly kills many minor channels?

If anything, it is the most lazy measure they could came up with, but even with that, I simply don’t buy it and I suspect the reasons behind are others.

Sorry to be a curmudgeon, it's a poetic little story - but isn't the takeaway a little banal?

"Different people have different perspectives." Well sure.

"Consider things from others' viewpoints." Of course.

I don't know, it rings a little of management-ese, or something overpaid consultants might present in the boardroom that gets everybody nodding their head and feeling like they've received great wisdom, but is a little hollow or obvious when you really break it down.

It's a good takeaway, even if commonsensical I guess.

I have a laptop with touchscreen, mostly forget about it until i by accident touch the screen, and then usually it does something irritating. The touchscreen is more of a problem then a benefit.

The only devices that really benefit from a touchscreen are phones and tablets. And there for certain types of apps it may even be a better input device than keyboard and mouse. This could be one of those situations: https://www.shapr3d.com/

It’s malice when the CDC again and again lied that natural immunity to covid was inferior to naive vaccine immunity, even cherry picking data to prove their point. Only recently after dozens and dozens of papers having had refuted their narrative has the CDC changed its official position on natural immunity, not that it ever got media attention.
If you want the latest NVidia graphics drivers on for e.g. Ubuntu, you have to install them yourself by downloading them from the website, and then when you upgrade your kernel, tty1 into the machine and reinstall the drivers because no desktop will start.

Who cares as long as the Taycan has marginal whiplash protection due to its seats _at very low_ speeds.
Basically unusable.
Nobody needs an expensive death trap, as an alternative to a 0 star Renault ZOE.

The 5 star Euro NCAP is mostly worthless on rear impact:
https://www.businessinsider.com/porsche-taycan-5-star-crash-...
"
In these seat and head-restraint tests, Euro NCAP propelled a dummy with a realistic spine on a sled at both 10 and 15 mph, mimicking a rear collision. This is the type of crash most likely to inflict a neck sprain or whiplash injury. In general, manufacturers design seats so the headrests are as close to the back of an occupant's head as possible. As you can see by the orange in these diagrams, Euro NCAP assessed only "marginal" protection for the seat and head restraints in both the front and rear seats.

Motor torque capability generally scales in proportion to volume, but shaft speed capability typically increases as the motor shrinks, so the motor power will usually fall at a smaller rate. A motor with 1/64 volume will probably output between 1/30th and 1/16th of its power. So 20 horsepower might barely be achievable. It all really depends on the driver though.
12" Thinkpad from a decade ago still beats any tablet except for just consumption of entertainment. Until a tablet has 3+ USB c/a ports I won't consider them serious devices. But I still need serial and NIC ports for my work so maybe I am an outlier.

I agree that 'the climate stayed reasonably static' in comparison to the ice ages, which is what the above thread is discussing.

But what's fascinating is that the arrival of Europeans in the US is hypothesized by some to have led to a dramatic cooling event called the "Little Ice Age".

Quoting from the wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age#Decreased_human...

Other researchers have supported depopulation in the Americas as a factor and have asserted that humans cleared considerable amounts of forest to support agriculture in the Americas before the arrival of Europeans brought on a population collapse.[134][135] Richard Nevle, Robert Dull and colleagues further suggested that not only anthropogenic forest clearance played a role in reducing the amount of carbon sequestered in Neotropical forests but also that human-set fires played a central role in reducing biomass in Amazonian and Central American forests before the arrival of the Europeans and the concomitant spread of diseases during the Columbian exchange.[136][137][138] Dull and Nevle calculated that reforestation in the tropical biomes of the Americas alone from 1500 to 1650 accounted for net carbon sequestration of 2-5 Pg.[137] Brierley conjectured that the European arrival in the Americas caused mass deaths from epidemic disease, which caused much abandonment of farmland. That caused much forest to return, which sequestered greater levels of carbon dioxide.

Right now, tablets are mobile consumption devices. Great for reading, looking at comics, playing light games or watching a movie. Obviously, a lot of people aren't really leaving their house so the tablet use case is a bit moot..

But if you are in the habit of popping to the coffee shop or trying to make use of your time on the train or an airplane, they're pretty handy. Sure, you can bring a whole laptop, but that's just larger and takes up more room. The tablet is easy to slip in and out of a bag and have it on instantly.

In theory, tablets should be good for light work too. Note taking, drawing and sketching, etc. In practice, neither ecosystem supports this very well - you can take a note or make a drawing, but you can't _do_ anything with the output. There's no sending your diagram to a pc for meaningful usage or integrating your note with your actual knowledgebase. The tablets are too locked down.
I'm writing this on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+, which I use all day, every day. When I bought it, it was the best, fastest and largest Android tablet on the market. I can think of dozens of OS improvements off the top of my head. Anyone who uses Android tablets regularly can.

That said, it's really not the OS that's going to be the issue. I originally bought a Galaxy Tab S7 and within 2 days of owning it, a saucer stuck to the bottom of my cup of coffee, dropped an inch onto the corner of the tablet and completely shattered the screen. There is no fixing it: The Samsung store would not take it to fix it, telling me to go online or phone support. Online forms were simply broken and phone support would not give me an estimate over the phone, requiring me to send it in or go to a local fix-a-phone franchisee, which I did. They spent a half hour trying to get info and then told me the price to fix the tablet was literally $50 more than buying a new one. I sucked up the loss, but learned my lesson about Samsung and the state of Android tablets.

I really can't see this changing through anything Google does.
That just happened to me. I left a 2 liter in the freezer. I then transferred it to the fridge, thinking the gradual temperature change would be fine.

I woke to a strange sound. The bottle had blown the fridge door open, a large gash down the side of the bottle, soda slush everywhere.

It took me an hour to clean the fridge.

I'm curious what you mean by illegal. Do you mean they won't pass emissions or safety?

As long as you don't add a public peer to any of your nodes, your network is private.
Yeah, progress on WASI has been painfully slow.

I think a big reason is that it was pushed by Mozilla, but they laid off all the related employees, and now no-one is really allocating resources to push it forward.

Plus it's still blocked by related proposal like interface types.
It's newish (yes, 6 years is newish for projects that don't have a lot more hours, direction, and dedicated drive behind them than git-lfs seems to) and janky or unintuitive in some cases and adds another obtuse nerdy thing for e.g. artists to figure out (or be supported through) and requires extra software and server config to self-host (most of which is, uh, not as complete as one might hope) and makes backups less dead-simple than plain git and has nothing like an official server-side implementation (last I checked GH's "don't use this for production" implementation was the closest thing) and can make any kind of automation or extra tooling used with git a real pain since much of it's not lfs-aware, including some built-in git commands in certain situations (git-archive against a bare repo, for instance, which can be a super handy command in many situations).

Overall, I like it and have promoted its use and stand by that, but not every place has the time or inclination to screw around with it when they can just pay for something that solves the problem (likely Perforce).

While we're at it, git in general would be one fuck of a lot easier to support for cross-platform users and in tooling for complex projects if libgit2 caught up and took over as the official implementation. The pile-of-binaries-and-shell-and-god-knows-what-else (all living on top of a hacky, huge bundle of junk, on Windows) official Git itself is a huge impediment to doing anything with git other than just executing "git [command]" in Unixy environments. It'd also make "build my own GitHub" type projects far more tractable, cutting out some of GitHub's (and GitLab, et c.) server-side moat.

LFS is a pain, right now, even 6 years in, if you don't tie yourself to a major commercial Git host or put in a lot more effort than traditional self-hosting git requires. To reiterate: I still like and advocate it, circumstances allowing, but it definitely is not a mature solution.
When I was very young I couldn't say "milk". I called it "momo".

But I could say "homogenized".

So I'd ask my mom, "Can I have some homogenized momo?"

She would reply "Do you mean homogenized milk?"

I answered "Mom! I can't say milk!"
Maybe she meant that there was a lot more research needed before she understood him.
4:3 please. The vast majority of Android tablets are 16:9, which is okay for media, but not for anything else.
> I learnt my lesson about giving against-the-grain responses to interviewers.

Generally speaking there's nothing wrong with against-the-grain responses if they're well argued for, especially if you can compare them to the other, more common, options and make your solution sound the best. "Elastic search does this, and it might be easier to cache" don't sound like the best arguments to me.
Seems asymmetrical the way it’s phrased.

Did you simply mean to say both fucked up?
I wamt to agree, but i think your lone criteria is falsy. Ecen though I really think phones/tablets should have more ports!!

Usb4 significantly changes the game & makes even one lone port (a sad, fake, stupid, artificial & senseless limitation) tennable. Being able to plug in one cable that is basically a mini external southbridge, an io expander, is good enough in most cases, especially when that includes significant compressed video capabilities & a 40gbps pipe.

HardenedBSD January 2022 Status Report
I had never seen the word "report" used in such way (to refer to a person) and suddenly it is everywhere in this thread.
It mostly is, but way at the boundaries of performance where cost is no object, I wouldn't be surprised to see a company like Koenigsegg advance beyond normal limits, using pricey materials like cobalt steels, sintered powdered iron, phase-change cooling, or other tricks that are beyond mortal budgets.
The important thing is getting the dosage right. I feel like it's hard to get immersed in a show where I see one episode per week. I also find myself forgetting minor characters and suspect that I don't make as many subtle connections when I watch weekly. One wordle per day seems to be optimal, though - you get your fix but it maintains its freshness.
> I learned Haskell a few years ago, enough to read it, but not fluent enough to comfortably write it.

Several years ago I tried to learn Haskell, and while I got to the point where I could write Haskell code, I found reading it nearly impossible. Even code I'd written a day or two earlier I found extremely difficult to decipher. While I learned some interesting things from the time I spent trying to learn Haskell, I eventually gave up on ever actually using it.

Doesn't that depend on the tablet? The iPad Pro has an M1 inside it.
>> Always makes me wonder how many dysfunctional companies are out there letting deadbeat remote employees collect paychecks and do as little work as possible because nobody cares enough to press the issue.

Nearly all of them. And it's why managers who get burned just a single time hate the idea of remote work. It's not about office rent or anything else that gets bandied about here; it's the fact that a very small but significant number of remote workers are grifters and create a ton of negative emotion (out of sight out of mind) for co-workers and managers.

A ton of remote work is obviously the future, but every single negative case like this with legacy managers sets it back orders of magnitude more than the successes it generates. So it goes with everything new.
Did the Nexus 7 fail commercially or what? I remember it being fairly popular in reviews, popular enough that I bought one. And then it kinda just fizzled out.

I do remember the Nexus 7 having pretty major "big phone" vibes, since it occupied a kind of awkward size between phablet and full-sized tablet, and I don't think most software were really using the screen to their advantage.
I know firing is easy in the US. But almost nobody from abroad will open a lawsuit against a company. While a local could be incentivised to do so or at least complain to various institutions or try small claims court.

For eg. I've had a US customer not pay a pretty big invoice and it was too costly in terms of time and money to pursue. I had no recourse. So I just ate the loss.
The ipad is not a toy, just because it restricts development activity. It’s a perfect replacement for a desktop for my parents, and many others.
