That's the manufacturer's list price. Now there are discounts, too.[1] Big discounts and plenty of inventory on the Ford Mach-E, too. Real prices are below MSRP. There's unmet demand for the small hybrid Maverick pickup, which lists for around US$22K. The giant overpriced pickup thing may have peaked.

There was no good reason that electric vehicles should cost more than comparable gas cars, and reality is setting in.

I think it depends on the kind of thief. The last one I had stolen was indeed a battered-looking thing with low resale value. But I'm pretty sure it was stolen by some low-end criminals who were not very bright or effective.
Even if you put this device in a car or a biometric device in a car or even a normal keyed system. An enemy who has possession of that car for more than a few hours can easily bypass most locking devices.

This one is nothing more than a relay on the battery line. Simply find the relay and bridge it. Problem solved. Might take you a few hours to dig under the dash to find the damn thing, but once you do 'problem fucking solved'.
Thanks for the downvote...? Not sure what the point of that was.

I haven't used C++ much since modules were introduced. From doing some quick reading, it seems unclear whether they significantly improve compilations times in practice. I wasn't able to find anything which addressed how they relate to the ABI... I suspect this is a pretty complex topic. If you have any good references related to either of these points, I'd be very eager to read them.

Either way, "C++ with modules" appears to me to be unlikely to clear the bar set by "C with opaque types" (which, for all intents and purposes, can be done in C++) in terms of 1) ABI stability and 2) encapsulation. I consider point (1) to be related to point (2), since details which are leaked into the ABI are not encapsulated.
Thank you for the example. It's clearer now. Still, I am puzzled at how you even go about making a mold for that.

Older trucks exist. You can actually drive them. And it's summer, people are out driving their classics and taking them to shows. Most of those folks try to keep everything original.
It does way, way more. Not only can it haul and drive for essentially free if you have solar panels, it can power your worksite and home for a couple of days for “free” as well. With cheap solar, it can be your daily driver and your farm vehicle.

Nothing if you're mainly going to use it to watch HD movies. I don't mind the resolution on a 13-14 inch screen to much to be fair, but IMHO 16:9 is really quite awful on such a small screen (and tolerable on 15-17 inch ones)
The professor should have seen that he could send a signature over the airwaves to his relay since that is even more universally compatible… plus, you can buy that exact device for about $20 at the online retailer of your choice.

It would seem that what they did was not allowed, given that they lost their case.
Yeah and the biggest problem with that hard transition was that even as a well-behaved Mac user going all-in on USB-C, you'd quickly run out of ports, and there were literally no USB-C hubs on the market for years. Now they exist but cost a lot more than -A ones and have caveats due to varying capabilities. So -A peripherals still make sense even with -C laptops, and most things I see are still -A.
For Glue, Janet is probably the biggest one right now. I am working on something, but it will take a long time.
Long term support allows bad behavior but I think it's still useful to reduce the amount of feature/breaking changes happening to software.

Those problems can also be mitigated with mandatory environment rebuilds which is trivial for a lot of setups with infrastructure as code.

At the extreme end, you have Kubernetes/CNCF where 6 months go by and you're many versions behind with a huge changelog of breaking changes you have to fix first. Stable APIs and stable ABIs are very useful here (which enterprise Linux provides).
Thanks for the tip, I would've been really quite stuck fighting those invisible assassins otherwise.

> Modern transponder key based systems made the original LoJack starting system obsolete

Transponder keys aka immobilizer systems.

All those Kias being stolen in the US are being stolen because the US does not mandate any form of immobilizer, and thus Kia on their cheapest models didn't include one.

Canada mandates immobilizer systems. Guess where the whole "Kia boys" phenomenon isn't a problem?

This is one of many examples of how our "democracy" isn't working. The vast majority of the US populace would agree that an immobilizer system which prevents a car from being started with a screwdriver is a good thing.

Every time it's been proposed in congress, the automotive lobby has told congress how very expensive it would be for them (and by very expensive, we're talking probably less than $100 per car.)

The expense to society (the owner losing their likely sole means of transport to work, health care, social activities and suddenly having a massive expense), police response to do something (er, just collect the report, I guess), the lost productivity, emergency services, and medical costs of people injured (victims or perps) from joyriders...all that goes unmentioned, because nobody's spending money to put someone in front of Tommy Tubletone from chucklesville to tell him that it'll cost everyone less to mandate the things.

Consider that ABS was not mandated in the US until 2012, along with traction control.

Compared to a lot of european "socialist" countries, we have much worse alignment between public opinion and legislation, and it's because of how powerful lobbying and corporate election funding is here, and a pervasive, insidious effort to portray anything other than wild-west free-market attitudes as "communism."
“All baselines” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence.
I don’t think Coroutines would fit in with Go. There is a huge emphasis on simplicity. Coroutines add a massive amount of complexity. In addition, goroutines provide the best parts of Coroutines - cheap, easy to use, non-blocking operations - without a lot of the pain pints such as “coloring” or functions and issues with using things like mutexes.

Just the question of whether one should use a goroutine or a coroutine adds complexity.
In Israel, all the rental cars we rented had a keypad and you had to enter a 4 digit pin to start it. That sounds simple. This sound a bit more complicated.

I don't like that Lenovo is put shoulder to shoulder with Apple here. I have never personally owned a macbook, but my SO has and they are multiple classes above anything Lenovo has made in the past decade. My work gives me a P1 and I liked it for the first year (especially with that mobile xeon with every ISA extension on the block), but I am growing tired of it. Here is the short list: the touchpad drops out, blue screens, thunderbolt dock driver issues, docked displays needing to be unplugged/replugged multiple times, waking from sleep mode without my input (good reason to never use this for a laptop that is used on the road), failure to wake from sleep mode (full speed fan and black screen until the power button is held for 30 seconds), the laptop deciding to say "locking" for a split second then going to sleep while you are in the middle of working or presenting.

Macbooks are not perfect, but lenovos are not good.

BASIC - original BASIC - was designed to get people programming computers for fun and work, with little or no weight given to understanding 'computer science'. After a long career devoted to the latter, I respond 'pfooey!' to that.
"Why?"

I'd suspect it is related to the thinness push. I share with the author a lack of need for my laptop to shave every last millimeter off, and I've had sturdy plastic laptops in the past... but those laptops are from many years ago now. Shaving every millimeter and still feeling solid requires non-plastic.

chazeon observes the Steam Deck feels quite solid, and I'd agree, but it is also definitely a device that isn't shaving millimeters. Compared to the Switch it is quite the chonk. But it also feels solid. So does the Switch, but the Switch does it with metal.

Computational Type Theory : http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Computational_type_theor...
That's a very North American biased view.

In fact, many studies have shown that in reasonably structured cities, pedestrians and public transit users are a more important source of income to downtown commercial services than motorists. Their individual transactions tend to be smaller, but there are more of them. But it's also vital that the city center and its neighboring areas are actually places where people live, not just visit for work and shopping. There's a quote that goes something like "Americans really like to be tourists in the city they live in".

But yes, many business owners (and the sorts of politicians they tend to vote) are irrationally attached to the idea that motorists are the ones who bring in the money, and that proposals to make cities more livable and less car-dependent would be really bad for business. I'd wager that to an extent they're just trying to come up with rational sounding post-hoc reasons for their emotional attachment to cars and driving.

Sounds pretty neat! I wonder what kind of new instrument/effect plug-ins this will spawn. I haven't read the paper yet, but I'm curious about the 'vibrato' problem that the article mentions. I'm guessing the issue is analyzing a signal in a way that doesn't lose the vibrato when it encodes (ie: to sines, noise, transients), not a limitation of decoding a signal (ie: if it were possible to obtain perfect data)?

Some time ago I was listening a guy talking about (operational) risk management in financial industry. One of his main points was that the systems in financial organizations should not be completely bug-free and automated. Because when something eventually happens, if there is no-one who has had to fix issues in the systems regularly, there is nobody around who can fix the system efficiently.

An example of argument that belongs to a weird class of arguments you at the same time want to agree and disagree.

Just like .NET Native AOT is quite some years behind GraalVM, OpenJ9, having high profile real time bare metal runtimes like PTC and Aicas have been selling for 20 years with deployment in battlefield scenarios, being used in the biggest mobile OS platform.

As someone working on a polyglot delivery agency, many UNIX shops still don't take .NET seriously, given how many key libraries are still stuck in VS/Windows workflows or not yet ported from .NET Framework.

It is more than just Java vs C#, the several JVM implementations and CLR also matter.

Note that even Microsoft takes Java seriously enough to have their own Java distribution, after the Sun/Microsoft drama, and any major Azure product deployment also requires day 1 support for Java.

Businesses only care about security fixes as far as compliance and a reasonable level risk.

It’s more important to them type be able to tell auditors that they are following a mitigation process.

In my case that means all I’m doing is pulling Amazon Linux images and running automatic security updates.

Using Amazon Linux is the path of least resistance because it comes with AWS tooling and it’s already optimized for AWS.

Everything else is basically “who cares?”

Have you considered that conservative sources have always been less accurate by dint of failure to accept new data that contradicts existing bias.

You can argue that all parties have biases but if you look at modern conservatism it's worldview is increasingly wildly divergent from reality. If your publication desires the readership of people who are obliged to stand in a puddle and deny being wet you shall have to follow them at least to the perimeter of Neverland and spend at least some of your breath speaking of pirates and fairies. Mentioning the puddle will also be verboten.

Reading several of the articles on the front page I noted a completely incoherent takes on Ukraine and birth control for instance. It's not the outright horror show of Fox news nor is it what one would consider objective or news. It's essentially 100% op eds by your least incoherent older relative.
That last one about middle name required but only if they have one reminds me of the time at a former job when I had to fight for users to be able to use “special characters” (as the product owner called them) in their names.

These so called special character weren’t even #!?%. But very common diacritics like è and ł or ń, all of which our users had.
Congress doesn't govern. None of our "legislators" writes any substantial legislation. They just go on junkets and sign off on what the bag men tell them to. This is evidenced by how all of the fake partisan conflict instantly disappears when the shot-callers want something done, like, say, sending weapons to Ukraine.
Compucolor! That 8-bit, retro computer... I've never heard of!

Discovering old obscure platforms like this is really a treat. It's like a peek into an alternate universe of computing. What did people do with these? Did they use them for games? Things like inventory and payroll? Solving engineering problems? Getting online with like CompuServe? Did their users communicate with each other? Was there a boutique industry for software?

Of course we know all about these things for the "winners", your Apples, Commodores, and Sinclairs. But what was the "scene" like for the Compucolors and Videobrains? The ones that maybe moved a few tens of thousands of units?

Exactly. I don't care how it's built I care that it survives some daily use that is not sitting on a desk.

My job many years ago provided me a Lenovo x220. I used to haul that thing from NJ to Arkansas with me twice a year and all over. It was not pretty but it literally took anything I could give it.

My current M1 MacBook Air goes with me on my bicycle daily, goes camping and goes everywhere with no issues.

My Starlabs linux "star lite" laptop had screws back out of it the first time I took it on my bicycle. After replacing screws over and over and eventually taping them in place to avoid the hassle the display stopped working. After fixing the cable for this eventually my keyboard began acting up and now the machine is just a desktop. Mind you this was in about 1.5 years.

I was a huge fan of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Wolf Children, and started watching everything he made, only to find that he was no longer able to produce movies of that quality. The last 3 - The Boy and the Beast, Mirai, and Belle - have been mediocre at best with stories and characters that were very poorly assembled. I continue to have some hope for future films, but frankly my expectations are very low at this point. Not many directors have produced 3 duds in a row in the prime of their career and then recovered with incredible stories later.

I have read neither, so don't have an opinion on them.

But going by the descriptions quoted, it doesn't seem to be for the same reason.

Both are listed as biased/opinionated, but for The American Conservative it additionally says "factual accuracy was questioned", which would make it less trustworthy as a reference.

Yup, enterprise Linux insulates you from unneeded change (in the business context). For most companies, systemd will have no impact on the bottom line vs sysvinit vs whatever.

However, paying an extra engineer to sort through all the changes possibly will.

On the other hand, there's some interesting trends like monokernels and minimal OS images that leverage services running off-machine instead of expecting so many local services removing some of the complexity/volatility (DNS, SMTP, federated login)
