>There are already plenty of banking sites and such that will turn you away for not having a standard-issue Chrome user agent header

There are countless banks out there. I have bank accounts with several different institutions in two different countries and they all work fine with Firefox + uBO. If yours doesn't, why are you supporting them?

>Also, crank your browser's privacy settings too high, and any website with twitchy Cloudflare settings will give you the sisyphean "I'm not a bot" check box until you give up and go away (or come back with a Chrome that's hungry for cookies).

I haven't seen this. If a website is too much of a PITA to use, I just won't use it, and I suggest you do the same.
That seems reductive. Ideally it’d be a little bit bigger and I’m not sure what the range is but I could totally see myself using one of those.

Even just being able to pickup appliances and furniture + run stuff to the dump would be enough to justify it at that price. Of course… they’d have to get it licensed in the US which would probably raise the cost a bunch
First I've heard of a bank rejecting firefox, do you have an example?
I have been working remote for the last few years and have been thinking of leaving too

I am a part of a "team" of developers that I am never able to directly work with unless I go out of my way and sacrifice time on my own projects to get involved with theirs

That said, even in this role, I'm an unusual case because all of my other coworkers get put on projects with each other. The side effect is that when I have code that needs to be reviewed, the other developers are hesitant to do it because they don't want to sign off on projects that they haven't been assigned to. My boss says this might change once his boss decides how the teams should be reorganized. Argh

It feels like I'm being punished and have been put into solitary confinement. But at least the pay is good, so that makes it all worth it. ...Right?

Sorry my mistake, I was trying to say that the individual oscillators/filters/etc add up in cost (at least that's often what analog synth companies say when people ask about low voice counts)

I'm assuming an ASIC has a similar cost savings to a CPU or FPGA?
I mean, it should be.

But there are plenty of performers who apparently rely on Linux boxes and gumption.
> But still, wouldn’t the link between artistry and self destruction be more a function of depression and not psychopathy?

I agree. But to be fair to the article (and to the research which it addresses) the term 'psychopathological traits'. I'm gonna guess that we all have a few of those.

> But even that is just surface level I think. What is it that makes depressed people artists? Or vice versa.

An excellent question, and likely very hard to answer definitely. I can make a simple observation: that it is hard to imagine a work of art that does not strive for excess: excessive beauty, excessive grandeur, excessive horror etc. Hence, an artist is sort of like an astronaut of the emotions, 'boldly going' to outlying states. This job description is not amicable with peace of mind and restfulness.

This might be what attracts neurotic types to becoming artists... to exorcise whatever angels or demons keep them awake at night. Alternately, it might be a causal mechanism for turning perfectly stable artists into neurotic types.
The thing with Tesla's semi truck is the extreme range. Easy to swap in some batteries and make a electric truck. Electric motors and batteries have plenty of power (and gearing can turn that into whatever torque you'd like). It's range, without undue payload reduction.

That was always the challenging part. Still is. Freightliner is nowhere near the 450-500 mile range you'd need. They're half that.
This article is about semi trucks. The US already has pretty much the best freight rail infrastructure in the world. Some further expansion is possible. But freight trains can't run everywhere, or handle highly perishable cargo, so the need for semi trucks can't be reduced much.
Why is it troubling?
> Ideally, yes - but the US is lacking in rail infrastructure, so the US needs zero-emission, road-based, logistics solutions.

Are you aware that the US has the largest rail network of any country in the world, almost the size of the next two (both of whom are geographically larger than the US) combined?

Smoke and mirrors is very common at Tesla. The funniest one was their battery swap event, I think it actually got them some extra government funding. They supposedly demo'd it on stage... but didn't think to set up cameras at an angle showing the actual swap?

Then of course there's the "driver is only there for legal reasons" video attempted over multiple days including an accident.

It's interesting how they keep getting away with it compared to Nikola

Just yesterday, I encountered another Web site that told me my up-to-date Firefox ESR was somehow too old, and it showed 3 big icons for their "supported" browsers (Chrome, Safari, and MS Edge).

(It was one of those staid non-tech corporate sites that wasn't doing anything beyond forms and a bit of JS, which they could've done 15+ years ago.)

Please don't do these "supported browser" games. Instead, use appropriate Web standards that are supported broadly.

Hey there! Thanks a bunch for sharing. Gotta say, it looks pretty cool! It actually reminds me of this awesome YouTube short: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DVdfSdtg_dM. Adding visuals to music really takes the whole experience to a whole new level.

By the way, you could also check out: https://algo.tv/slipstream. They use Lottie to create some amazing animations for music. Your animations are based on the melody, whereas theirs are based on just the beats, but you might draw some inspiration from their motion design.

Well, the State should probably have give them more stern punishment the first time, because it is clear that they learned that the crime pays.
You can't make it up on volume, your product isn't elastic enough. There's only so many properties that you can own, and financing right now for both construction and acquisition is incredibly difficult. The only viable way for property managers to grow at the moment is to increase their margins for the same product, which as you're likely aware, means either decreasing their costs or increasing their prices. They are doing both.
Isn't that fundamentally how edibles (and tinctures, which sound more similar to what you saw) work?

>>>The constant use of the battery pack is unprecedented and is causing reliability problems for Tesla and other EV truck makers [similar claims coming from Uber drivers who use their Teslas over 300 miles per day, i.e., their batteries are dying quickly.

Meaning the batteries are not meant to use more than few hours per day because they heat up ?

>>>PepsiCo did a 500-mile trip with the Tesla Semi from California to Phoenix, but it was just for PR purposes. The batteries completely burned out, which is why on PR trips like this, they bring three Tesla Semis, with two being towed on a diesel Semi truck, only to be swapped out when the battery dies the other two Semis on the 500-mile drive

As usual a demo product like other EV semis ?
230 max miles though, and 90 minute recharge. With range margin that is 2 ninety minute stops for a 500 mile day. But I would certainly agree that 230 mile range, reliably day in and day out would be better than 500 mile range "sometimes" And low reliability. Because trucks are less size constrained I was hoping flow batteries would have a play here but alas, no progress on that in the last 5 years.
You make some good points.

> Kids are about as creative as they come, making things up as they go every day.

I believe that the creativity of children is an extension of their need to play. I remember my desire to draw seemed to fade away at about the same time that puberty struck.
Prius's are city cars, city driving has widely varying loads which are inherently awful for combustion engine efficiencies. The hybrid drivetrain allows the engine to stay within its optimal efficiency range which has a huge impact on mileage.

Compare this too semis which spend most of their life on the highway with drivetrains optimized almost exclusively for constant highway speeds. There is far less gains to be made converting to a hybrid system.

A Prius without a hybrid drivetrain and with an engine optimized for 25 mph driven constantly at 25 mph would actually exceed the standard Prius's mileage since it doesn't have to carry batteries, generators or electric motors.
Incompetent? Show me a battery-electric semi truck with greater range.

When you're actually doing something barely possible, it's hard.
Lower electric rates and California aren’t two words I see together.
Note that I also imported regex-redux into rebar: https://github.com/BurntSushi/rebar/tree/master/record/all/2...

It isn't exactly equivalent to the benchmark game's version. The biggest difference is that it doesn't permit parallelism.

For more details on the benchmark model: https://github.com/BurntSushi/rebar/blob/master/MODELS.md#re...

.NET does well overall in rebar's benchmarks, but less so in regex-redux (in both the benchmark game and in rebar's version of it). Not sure why. I haven't investigated. Of course, this is assuming you aren't using .NET's default interpreter engine. You've got to switch to the no-backtracking or compiled modes to get decent perf.
Well, then let me challenge your "not remotely as strong" claim.

the obvious: the manager is being sloppy. Whether they are correct or not is irrelevant; thinking and writing clearly about these issues is literally this person's entire day job. A sloppy report is the tip of an iceberg of sloppier thinking.

The conspiracy: the manager has an axe to grind that aligns with incumbent auto-makers' business strengths, suggesting that the analysis is debased in one way or another.

The "mind explodes": the manager is talking their book; behind the manager is a team using mountains of data to design messages that optimally push the market in the direction they want. The purpose of the message is not to be logically coherent to nerds on the internet. The point is to convince a few portfolio managers to behave in one way or another, and perhaps also to signal sentiment analysis algos.
I first read Chomsky in the '80s for his work on grammer, I'm not sold (nor are others) on his ideas of universal grammer or innate syntactic knowledge.

Contrariwise his book later that decade Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media seems to be pretty much bang on the money outlining propaganda as an emergent behaviour that doesn't require an excess of particular directed pressure to come about.

>The batteries are just weight on the highway

Not quite. Diesel engines are most efficient (~40%) at full throttle, low-mid revs, and drop to <30% at low throttle. With some battery trashing you could see the engine work at some 20-50% duty cycle on the highway.

Considering Semi is only doing day-trucking (aka short and predictable routes) automation seems to be a large target. In the Jay Leno interview they said Pepsi actually lets their drivers to go faster when they enable cruise control:

This is a fairly obscure supermarket chain and in no way indicative of a trend moving away from self checkouts in the UK. Self checkouts are as popular as ever and some are more crap than others. This is usually down to a benign reason like price lookup latency or barcode scanning accuracy. It could also be as pedestrian as Windows running out of memory and not being rebooted regularly. Yes, supermarket checkouts use Windows.
My question is what happens to gas stations as the changeover is underway? They make razor thin margins and rely on selling a lot of gas to turn a profit, which leads me to believe there will start to be fewer gas stations even when only 20% of cars on the road are electric (just my conjecture, but it seems to make sense to me).

Now as gas stations start to thin out, that would put a damper on people buying gas cars as they would have to go out of their way to fuel up. Which downward pressure on resale value of cars, making people not to want to buy a brand new gas car if it looks like they won't get any trade in value in a few years.

The only hope that I can think of is when it gets to this point, there would be another "cash for clunkers" type of program to make the transition easier.

Carriers supported it. Just Apple didn't, for a long time. The reason is obvious: To increase their market dominance in the US, where iMessage is common. Especially among US teens this was apparently successful. Teens didn't want to be the lame green bubble kids with reduced messaging features. They flocked to iPhones.

Sounds like you have a culture problem. You can always open a PR and then discuss it in person or over chat. If your teammates take weeks to review your work, then your manager needs to step in. If nothing changes, then the culture is broken or you need to take a hint. Maybe your 50 file PR is too big and too complex to approach.

I think PRs work best when it’s mostly a sanity check and rubber stamp for those you trust on small changes. But big changes or unfamiliar colleagues get a bit more scrutiny. Checking in code works best at regular intervals. Combined with good tests, checking in code does r have to be a hassle.
