It started off as an experiment almost 10 years ago[1], to see if it was possible -- and it turned out it was. AFAIK rqlite was the first time SQLite was combined with Raft, though many similar systems followed, created by other developers e.g. dqlite.

Over time rqlite has became a much more substantial database than it originally was, with a focus on ease-of-deployment and ease-of-operation. I have written a fair amount about how the design and implementation has evolved over the years[2], which may be of interest.

this pressure comes from the consumers. If the consumers keep opening their wallets, then there would be no pressure.

So for prices to drop, all that is required is for consumers to stop purchasing. Unfortunately, people, esp. in the US (but basically all over the west too) are quite rich, and they rather spend even if prices are high.

I've used C# quite a bit due to the Unity game engine. Moment to moment, it's pretty enjoyable to code in and easy to read. The cross-platform nature is usually really nice too (C# DLLs typically work on all platforms without issue).

However, I do have a few complaints:

We spend a lot of time fighting the garbage collector. This leads to awkward situations where certain variables that would ideally be function-local need to be made into member variables so we can reuse the memory each frame. This makes our code more complex and less local.

The choice to make "class" vs "struct" dictate whether memory is allocated on the heap or stack is annoying. I think there are a lot of problems with this: overloading keywords borrowed from C/C++, not being sure where memory will be allocated unless you go check the type definition, not having the option to instantiate a single type in both memory areas.

At first glance, you think C# doesn't have to deal with pointers. But in reality, just about everything IS a pointer, just with no syntax to indicate it. The fact that (almost) everything can be null makes code more complex.

I also find some of the syntax introduced in newer C# versions hard to read - but I guess I also feel that way about C++!

Ultimately, I still really enjoy/prefer C or C++. Despite their flaws, they give you a lot of options and a lot of control that I sometimes wish I had in C#.

Slow wired charging is the best. Just buy a dirt cheap USB-A to C cable.
> where many people continue to buy the name-brand one

presumably those people are acting irrationally. Or the name-brand ones do provide more value for them.

But hearsay from various news sources have mentioned more and more of the generic/store-brand goods sales are up. So i don't believe that people actually will continue to buy name-brand stuff that is of the same quality as the store-brand.
Yeah, I started wondering the same thing as I was writing that response, as I do actually own a Lexus with the Prius drive chain.

For starters, it would be pretty hard to get into that state in the first place. My understanding is they actually report a 10% or 20% charged battery as "completely empty". And the it's completely disconnected, so it shouldn't discharge much.

Looking though the service manual, there doesn't even seem to be an error code for "HV battery low", nor any mention of the DC-DC converter being able to charge the HV battery from 12v, it only goes from HV to 12v.

So I really suspect if you do happen to end up with a flat HV battery that's too flat to start the engine, it's just going to flash the "Replace HV battery" error code. Theoretically, someone with the right tools could disassemble the battery and charge the individual modules.

And the only speculation I can find on google is that "flat HV batteries are very rare" and probably only happen when the HV battery has other issues and needs replacement.

Edit: After more googling, apparently Toyota dealers have a special charger called the THS that can charge the HV battery in non-plugin hybrids.
No. That is why there is no word or concept for theft
But you yourself estimate 20% savings and then hand wave that away under "fossil fuels."
Inside Feeld's disaster of a rebrand
I'm ignorant and curious: why 48V specifically? Why not 40V? Why not 50V? Is there some ideal ratio that makes DC-DC conversions more efficient or something?

For comparison, Makita (and I think some other power tool makers) have augmented their 12V lineup with a newer 40V platform for tools that need a bit more oomph. I guess there's no need for them to interoperate with other DC voltages, so maybe that explains the "messy" number?

USB, on the other hand, recently grew support for a handful of pleasantly neat voltages:

> Increased power levels from existing USB standards up to 240W. New 28V, 36V, and 48V fixed voltages enable up to 140W, 180W and 240W power levels, respectively.

Does anybody know how these decisions are made?

Is there a guide how one can check that the PlayStore version matches the source code?
There is no 12v starter motor, it always just uses one of the large motor-generator units to start the engine, and in the Prius drive chain, they require 600v (boosted from 200v from the HV battery).

So if the HV battery is flat, you can't start the engine to charge it.
Real human behavior is influenced by a lot more factors than simple profit optimization. Psychology is not at the point yet where we could attribute exact reasons why someone made a particular decision at a particular time, but I suspect that in a lot of cases things like 'because (I thought) everyone else was doing it' or 'I thought about what <person or group> would say' would feature prominently.

Here's an extensive guide on loading your own CA keys into UEFI motherboards: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_Extensible_Firmware...

Loading custom CA keys into the UEFI store doesn't void your warranty and is available as a standard menu option on every UEFI setup screen I've seen. The key store can usually also be reset to accept Microsoft's keys again for when you want to run Windows.

As long as you know the password to your UEFI firmware setup, you can enroll keys or reset the key store. Of course this process is way more complicated than necessary (especially in Arch's documentation), but there's nothing preventing vendors like Canonical or Fedora from pre-signing kernels and drivers.

If you want to use your/your vendor's keys for existing drivers, you/the vendor can also have sign those files.

The only difficult step for the end user is enrolling the MOK key, which requires selecting the right option in the UEFI setup and a reboot or two. Anyone can set up a repository of presigned keys and kernels you can rely on, whether that's you or your favourite open source project.

The problem is a lack of availability because the people who would need this, open source enthusiasts running Linux or *BSD, often just disable secure boot entirely. Nobody has made a nice GUI for managing this stuff either, because everyone who messes with this stuff knows the command line anyway.
> The question of buying freehold land recurred to him again and again.

> He went on in the same way for three years; renting land and sowing
wheat. The seasons turned out well and the crops were good, so that
he began to lay money by. He might have gone on living contentedly,
but he grew tired of having to rent other people's land every year,
and having to scramble for it. Wherever there was good land to be
had, the peasants would rush for it and it was taken up at once, so
that unless you were sharp about it you got none. It happened in
the third year that he and a dealer together rented a piece of
pasture land from some peasants; and they had already ploughed it
up, when there was some dispute, and the peasants went to law about
it, and things fell out so that the labor was all lost.

So then, I suppose, the 'lethal zone' would be heavily dependant on the power of the lightning strike, the volume of the available body of water, the density of life within the water, and probably thousands of other factors.

It would perhaps be much worse for ocean-dwellers than for fresh-water life due to the conductivity differences.

I would love to see a computer simulation of this, e.g., for each type of aquatic ecosystem, what would be the recombination sweet-spot or optimal conditions for genetic recombination within a lightning-affected area.

I've been in the telco/digital communications space for years and all this stuff has run from 48V for decades. So basically plenty of electronic parts are already available with margins suited to 48V already since it's extremely common in other industries like the one I'm in.

Automotive just tends to be a pretty slowly changing industry, but everything is ready for them to adopt 48V that other industries have been using for a long time, someone just needed to take the plunge I guess.

I agree with this. I often get asked to decap + image chips commercially and its not usually worth it unless its a value add / loss leader as part of a larger project.
For batteries it tends to be multiple of the battery cell voltages. So 48v is probably so you could wire 4x12v batteries in series but that is a guess. With tool voltages this tends to be a multiple of the nominal battery voltage (rounded for marketing).

> I was a bit frustrated to find out that a 2015 MBP I had in a closet has been out of support for a while (I have very high doubts that there was any technical reason for the line drawing on that front).

They’re talking about security updates. Your definition of support seems to be “latest bells and whistles with a major release.”

Your 2015 MBP was eligible for a Safari security update released last month and a macOS security update the month before[0].

This means your 2015 MBP receives similar support as the iPhone they mentioned.

We can argue if seven years of the “latest and greatest” is sufficient for a laptop before it is relegated to just security updates, but I don’t understand the lament.

It’s a capable machine, as you said, and it still ran great. If the manufacturer gives you all that was advertised at purchase and then some and then ensures it’s safe to use while not receiving new bells and whistles, how is that a demerit that causes frustration on your end?

Sure, but it's still the lowest burden of proof. My point isn't to make Cal-Maine the underdog. It's to point out the irony that anticapitalists will suddenly trust capitalists 100% whenever they say something that agrees with them, regardless of the motivations of such a claim. It's like when people use Microsoft's antitrust lawsuits as evidence as that all billionaires can't be trusted, yet they're completely uncritically accepting arguments made by lawyers who represented other billionaires.

Of course the market is perfectly efficient, but 90% of the time it is, especially for commodities like eggs. It may be the case that this is getting worse, but no it is not possible for companies to suddenly decided to be greedy in 2021.
> Some of which will inevitably occur at peak-demand

Some, but nowhere close to most. If 90% charge their cars at night, or even just at the grocery store after work, that is off peak.
Ruby is a super nice scripting language. I much prefer it to python when I need something with a little more "ooomph" than bash. It's just...nice...to write in. Ruby performance has come a long way in the last decade as well. There's libraries for pretty much everything.

My modern programming toolkit is basically golang + ruby + bash and I am never left wanting.

I do find Crystal (https://crystal-lang.org/) really interesting and am hoping it has its own "ruby on rails" moment that helps the language reach a tipping point in popularity.

F# discriminated unions are always heap-allocated - the .Net runtime doesn't currently support address punning (having a single memory location possibly be a heap value or a stack value is UB).

Remember when your parents and teachers and pastor told you about your "permanent record?" You can stop worrying about that now, it's a lie. Criminal record, yes. Credit record yes. What you did in school or at the last job... no.

Most employers don't even check references. There's no equivalent of a job FICO score, no "blacklist" to get on. Sure, if you do something illegal or outrageous maybe you'll create problems down the road, but that's not even likely. Even massive frauds and failures like Adam Neumann and SBF get way more chances than they deserve, when everyone knows what they did.

There's nothing immoral or wrong with quitting a job and offering your services to your former employer at a better rate. That's how probably half of contractors and freelancers get started. And it's very common with C-suite and executive types, and politicians.

> Saying "Chinese food" does not literally mean food from China, it means food made by Chinese immigrants to The United States.

Not even close. It means food that is sold in restaurants that are called Chinese restaurants. If it meant food made by Chinese immigrants, it would include Mongolian barbecue (which is Chinese food) and all Japanese cuisine (which isn't, but the Chinese like opening Japanese restaurants because the American price of Japanese food is higher).

> America is a country made up of immigrants from other countries, so when they are here making the foods that they used to make in their home countries, we call it "Chinese food", "Italian food" etc.

This seems to contradict the rest of your comment. Are you taking the position that "Chinese food" refers to food that is made by American Chinese for whatever reason, or that it refers to food that is made by Chinese in China? If the second, what are you objecting to in your parent comment?
No, it's only useful on a shrinking platform.
