The electric motor just turns into a generator and charges the battery. Engine breaking with an EV is literally refilling your tank, so to speak. The modern EVs are pretty smart about it and will also apply the breaks sneakily if the engine can't bring up enough resistance (due to battery being charged, too much change in a short time, etc.)

I will also add that the break pads in EVs are criminally underused to the point that they reach their maximum service life with barely any usage on them.

If you want a comparison, it's basically like flicking on the little dynamo engines on a bicycle and then turning on the light. It'll slow you down a lot quicker than without the light on. Same principle here and works just as well.

I like your optimism, but do we see anything like that in the real word after depopulation? There are many shrinking cities or areas, eg Detroit in the US or East Germany (people moving to the west), and the results are hugely negative and a downward spiral. Instead of people enjoying lack of traffic congestion, shrinking cities can't afford their oversized infrastructure anymore, which begins to deteriorate from lack of upkeep.

The website usage on the client side is more to do with resource usage. Unnecessary usage of Javascript is often what makes websites laggy.

You computer will normally down-clock (you can turn this off in the bios) when under lighter loads.The difference between a JS-free webpage and a bloated web page that uses multiple JavaScript with extra Javascript for ads and tracking could be around 10W/H to 40W/H on Desktops.
By the way, Notepad also uses CTRL+T or F3 to search, so this "CTRL+F works everywhere" is a lie

> Content is a word that was invented by people who want to create boxes that they can sell ads around, and they had to come up with a name for what goes in the box, and that word was “content.”

Theory: I believe the quote is absolutely right but that big youtubers started referring to themselves as content creators as a way of signaling that they had "special access" to youtube "corp". "Content creator" is youtube exec lingo, and if in a video you called yourself that a few years ago, that'd mean you're one of the few that are "in", even though the phrase is empty of meaning. Then after a while it just took off and is now common parlance.
The title of this article is misleading since it only matches a small subset of what's possible with regular expressions. It's like saying "A novel programming language linker and compiler in 30 lines of code" while it can only do simple arithmetic operations and is lightyears away from being turing complete.
> [...] For example, TypeScript tooling can be used to author and refactor AssemblyScript code and, with some effort, the same code base can be transpiled to JavaScript with tsc and compiled to WebAssembly with asc, or code shared. The AssemblyScript compiler itself is portable.
The company I work for (Trail of Bits[1]) does compilers-based program analysis and engineering; it's been a significant part of my job for the last 4 years of my career. We're also hiring[2]!

Overall, I think the job market for compilers/program analysis is pretty strong right now. It's also well spread between companies of different sizes and scopes: MS and Apple are doing serious LLVM-based optimization work, while you also see medium-sized companies (Fastly and CloudFlare) doing interesting work on WebAssembly. On the research side, companies like ToB and Galois have been doing LLVM and other compiler-based program analysis for over a decade.

The "facilities" seem to match. I think that qualifies as enough statistical evidence, no?
Haha thanks! Highly recommend nappuccino - been practicing for sometime, it’s lifechanging.
Assembly script is pretty interesting as a language. It's close enough to type script that the transition from that should be relatively easy for people already using that. And performance wise it gets them a lot of benefits.

There are a lot of other languages coming to wasm. It looks like garbage collection is stabilizing. E.g. jetbrains released an experimental wasm compiler for Kotlin recently that uses that. Currently that only works if you launch Chrome with some experimental flags to enable the feature. But at some point that will be generally available there, and in other browsers.

So, whether you are using C#, Kotlin, Swift, Crystal, or any other garbage collected modern language, chances are there will be a wasm compiler for it soon (if not already) and rich ecosystem of libraries and tools. I see this as a matter of time. Right now it's all a bit cutting edge. So, the whole space is dominated by languages not in need of garbage collection (C, C++, Rust, etc). However, that will change pretty soon.

E.g. Swift and Kotlin are already used for modern UI development on mobile. Using those languages in a browser makes total sense. Kotlin actually has a js transpiler and there are some Kotlin specific web frameworks that I've used. With wasm and the inevitable emergence of new UI frameworks targeting wasm and browsers, there might be a little renaissance in web ui development. Things like Figma prove that web uis don't have to be laggy, limited, and driven by css & dom trees.

The second-last comment on that issue is pretty clear:

The issue with the lib is its non-treeshakeable nature. It should be rewritten using ES6 modules.

That doesn't seem so hard, unless I'm missing something. Certainly shouldn't need a full rewrite from scratch.

My point is, it's not just about bloat and having too many features (which are very hard problems to fix); it's often low-hanging fruit that isn't being picked.
> I've also had good luck coating transparent filaments with epoxy resin to get clear parts.

That might work if you only care about "clear", but unless you exactly match the optical properties of the resin and (printed) filament, it will be pretty useless as an optical device.
I have only anecdotes, but I have met a lot of people with some form of HPPD even after moderate and safe usage. I think it is probably a bit underestimated right now. My guess is that it is one of the bigger risks of using psychedelics, along with PTSD from the experience and DP/DR. Andrew Callaghan of Channel 5 news has it pretty strongly but he did abuse it at a young age. He spoke about it on "therapy gecko".

Obviously the benefits is a fleeting and difficult to pin down thing. Outside of a clinical setting, experiences with psychedelics range from life-changing to life-destroying, with most people seemingly in the middle with "it's just fun". It certainly does not seem reliable.

>Culture can be defined as “people like us do things like this.”

I once contacted for a company that renamed their human resources department to "People and Culture" to make themselves seem more approachable.

I thought it was fairly patronizing. Maybe human resources will eventually become a forbidden job title that will continue to require euphemisms like secretary and janitor.
Another option for users is to "sacrifice" the 0th entry of an array. Depending on the size(as in sizeof) of the entry, it can be worth it.

A benefit is that you can then use 0 as a sentinel value; for instance if you have a find() routine that surely can fail, it can just return 0 instead of having e.g. -1 (which can introduce minor issues).

In my experience, though, I am so used to 0-based index that switching schemes can cause stupid off-by-one bugs. I guess that's the main reason behind complains about Lua. It's not that "natural" arrays are thought of as bad, but mixing both schemes (often C an Lua) is error-prone.

That's probably fair, I wouldn't make the claim that industrialisation itself was unique to the UK. You've piqued my interest though so I might attempt to read some more about that stuff in French with my rusty B1.5 level :-)

No. In the real world it is a single sale. In the accounting/finance domain it is single sale, so it should be represented as such. It also matters when you look at KPI like avg order size, num orders for customer, not to mention it is one invoice at the time of invoice creation, but payment collected in multiple methods.
What a mean-spirited comment! The OP's accomplishments are impressive to me.

The OP said - "I want to be one of the best programmers in the world, but I have a long way to go." This is humble enough for me. They may be misguided that there is such a thing as "the best programmers" but they realize that they have a long way to go to reach the state they would be happy with is humble enough for me.

Your comment, sir, on the other hand comes off as arrogant and bitter!

I wonder how it interprets something like “two lesbians”. There isn’t necessarily anything a picture of might show to indicate that two women are lesbians, unless something intimate is happening. So, I wonder how the program interprets that. Does it just replace lesbian with woman, or is there actually something to indicate that a woman is a lesbian that we might not notice (gaydar?) but a program that has looked at billions of photos has noticed? Does it know us better than we know ourselves?
> That's part of why it works.

Where does it work? It seems almost non-existent to me. Maybe we are looking at different areas of the market though.
3000x2000 basically means "fullscreen on a retina display @ full resolution". You can only reasonably show one picture like that at a time. So it's completely OK to have the currently displayed picture at that resolution/size.

But all photo should be loaded at a much lower size, initially, and only downloaded at full size the the user puts them in full screen.
There are already insurance companies offering coverage for legal expenses. The interesting part here is maybe that by restricting it to patents the insurer has a very clear idea of the risk being covered, as all the patents are public.

Edit: on the other hand your potential customers will be difficult to convince. To pay insurance you must have risk aversion, something I don't expect to be abundant among startups
China has not just repealed the one-child policy, but are pushing for more children, because they, like a lot of governments, are now more concerned about falling birth rates than about overpopulation. China is set to start seeing population decline within a decade or two at current rates.

While you might find individuals in governments some places that still worry about overpopulation, most places outside of sub-Saharan Africa, the concern now is a growing demographic timebomb as populations age and birth rates are falling below replacement almost everywhere. (Sub-Saharan Africa is also seeing sharp declines, but is not there yet)

There is nothing honest and humbling about this feedback. It deliberately makes the poorest interpretation of the OP's post and offers a poor feedback. It speaks more about the commenter's mindset than the OP's earnest request to better themselves in the programming journey.

Make the strongest possible interpretation of the OP's post and you would end up commenting something insightful and kind, not something cruel under the false pretext of honesty and humility.
Rust has no exceptions and enforces correct propagation of errors at compile time. There are few if any strong typed languages in current use that offer a similar experience, for this mix of [memory safety + strong types + error correctness + close to machine performance] you would have to go to some very exotic language route.

Unlike those exotic options, Rust also comes out of the box with a very powerful free linter (clippy) which you definitely want to use, and has a wide community, library, cargo ecosystem, is very stable and tested etc.

When you total it up, you get a fast, safe program that exhibits 60-70% less runtime bugs than something written in either Python or C++ for a similar development effort. You still need to test of course, but you can focus on major integration and logic bugs instead.

Whilst the attenuated polio virus vaccine may carry a tiny risk it cannot be reasonably compared with the dangers of not being vaccinated.

Anti-vaxxers and those who've not gotten around to being vaccinated should look very carefully at those photos especially the one with the rows of poor kids in iron lungs, it's so tragic I want to cry.

I know, I lived through that 1950s/60s polio epidemic and whilst I was lucky and didn't get polio other kids at my school did. One died and another in my class ended up not being able to walk without calipers on his legs. It was terrible.

I've since had both the Salk and Sabin vaccines, back then when the vaccines finally arrived everyone rushed to them (despite a few tragic mishaps with a bad batch of early vaccine).

At that time the term 'anti-vaxxer' didn't exist - as the concept was almost inconceivable.

This is most likely just a bias in the sample, rather than actual increase in the median page size on the web as a whole.

(increases in median size are highly correlated with the sudden jumps in the # of pages indexed, so they likely started covering different subsets of the web that have a different distribution of page sizes)

In another words, the financial capitalization / "value" that content generates exist somewhat tangentially to the efforts made / values found in the content. I see some people are starting to refer Google et al. as "digital landed proprietors"; the cash flow they enjoy seem to have little to do with anything going on, but rather solely from legal statuses that they own the "land".

I don't know if it is a good or bad thing, my instinctive response would be that it's bad because it's not making me rich presently, but it's ... cooking something.
Personally I think the problem is just our need to consume everything as fast as possible.

Content being spread out means you use one for a while, then switch, the content won't run away (unless of course HBO's new CEO has something to say about it).

But it's us, we're the problem. Like for example, you have Game of Thrones back on HBO and you have Lord of The Rings coming up next week on prime. Logically you subscribe to one, watch one, then cancel and switch to the other.

A lot of people just can't do that, they must watch both as fast as possible, they must consume the content the moment it releases.
True. But he's talking about a universal approach: removing the distraction instead of fighting it. You can implement your own specific method for this, but anybody would benefit from it.
On the other hand, those are all things humans have troubles with when drawing, unless they have an extraordinary talent or a lot of experience.
More spikes are good, it's the height of the tallest spike that determines the cost, so reducing that specific spike is the key. And one way to do that, is to spike at other times instead.

Think about it like roads and rush hour. The width of the road is set for rush hour, and most of the rest of the time it's empty. Any way of shifting demand away from that peak is good. You'd have to shift an infeasible amount to create a traffic jam in the middle of the night, but every extra car removed from rush hour helps.
I'm hoping we can spend some tax money on real infrastructure rather than handouts for rich people to line elon musk's pockets. A train line, a bike lane and a handful of trolley busses take far less network upgrades than 10,000 luxury cars.

It would also help immensely if we could find our sanity and build some 400kg LEVs and NEVs with a 2kWh battery and a 150cc range extender rather than 2-5t padded ego protectors with 50-100x as much battery.
