I cannot fathom a non-linear or even random decrease in range due to external factors while driving a vehicle. This is making me rethink getting an EV for my next car. I can only hope/assume this will get solved for in like 10 years.
We were wondering if we could drive to glacier national park in our BMW i4. There doesn’t seem to be any charging infrastructure outside Kalispell, so we are better off flying and renting an ICE car (Yellowstone or Grand Canyon doesn’t seem very possible yet either). Same with driving up to Alaska ATM, which maybe might be possible in 5 years but is impossible today unless you leverage slower charging at RV parks. They are unfortunate sacrifices, they definitely do matter.
What I do in those cases of to arbitrarily pick an order to do those things. (Likeliness to become urgent in the future, difficulty, unpleasantness, etc...) If I can't, I just pick a random order

You're right - we don't know yet but, as mentioned in other replies, 20B is a reasonable guestimate that would make the point about unfair comparison.
> People focus too much on edge cases when making life decisions, imo.

Yes, but in life, many of the most meaningful things are the edge cases. That's what makes them special. If people don't statistically have many dinner parties, then the dinner parties they do have might be even more special. This is life, not a statistical model.
I'm not sure I fully understand what you're proposing? Is it about function purity or immutable values?

I think the way to do the latter in Go is to not export the field and only have it modifiable by a dedicated method. (or even enforce copy-on-write).

And passing values instead of pointers where needed.

I don't think that breaking compatibility to add a mut keyword would fit Go. It makes more sense for rust.

(especially wrt interior mutability... That would make it a very pervasive change, probably too much of a change)

Another thing is that wrapping values in an empty interface essentially make those immutable. It doesn't necessarily have mechanical sympathy but as long as you don't wrap pointers, it would be difficult to modify (no aliasing).

Then again, it's more defensive and pragmatic coding than something that proves functional purity.
Seems that it is enough.
There is a range of rule by state/history:

Closed shop: must be a full union member to have the job

Fair share: you don’t have to join, but you must pay the portion of dues that go towards contract negotiations and enforcement

Right to work: they can’t make you do anything. In some cases even going as far as saying the employer does not have to deduct dues for members (who have agreed to it) pay
Maybe it’s time for some startups to evaluate whether they should have 60 employees when they’re only bringing in $1M in ARR.
Don't be obtuse. They clearly meant electric service available to an electric car, and every driving related use case.
Govenments need to start subsidizing charging stations just like they subsidized filling stations along interstates and turnpikes.

100% no, this is one of the problems I have with the recent climate legislation in the USA. This is the equivalent of taking more money out of the pockets of the middle class and giving it to the top 10%, same as the subsidies on electric vehicles which cost > $75K. It does close to nothing to actually encourage people to buy electric vehicles. The charger situation will solve itself once enough people have electric cars, because there will be demand for the service. Right now at least in the US, the model is just throwing money at gas stations and other commercial interests to go against their economic interests. Either the chargers have sufficient demand or it is a giant waste of money.

So, if you want to encourage people to actually buy electric vehicles a better plan is to make it so inexpensive to charge them with actual carbon free energy that they cost less to own and operate.

AKA spend the money on making the power grid provide cheaper power, and the charger problem will solve itself as people compare the price of a new electric vehicle vs a gas one.

I still believe in the dream from the 1960's that started with the catch phrase "electric too cheap to meter". And given the state of the US economy (and may other energy driven markets) it would actually have even farther reaching positive economic impacts beyond convincing people to buy electric cars. Ex: many fundamental industries run away from expensive energy. Its also why the global economy tanks when oil prices spike, or countries go into recession when their energy rates go above their neighbors.

Millions downloaded the Lewinsky report off Drudge back in the day and nobody actually read it because there were a number of interesting tidbits never mentioned. Did you know Lewinsky testified Bill thought his Oval Office phone was tapped by a foreign government?

Nope, because nobody actually reads anything.
I never thought I would be a simp for electric cars, but after owning one, when I hear someone driving an internal combustion engine, I just feel bad for them - such an inefficient, dirty system.
Defending your own agricultural manufacturing makes sense - you want your people to be able to eat + not have risks related to other counries/ politics/ transport.
I just went through this so I can well you B&H and Microcenter both did well for me. I actually had a failed drive from B&H (one of two) who took care of it and refunded my money. The best advice I can give though it order drives from different suppliers or batches so you don't get two from the same batch which can sometimes have a problem.
Once a year? not terrible. More, potentially bad. Car rentals are crazy expensive.

I took a week vacation with friends last year and it cost me more to rent a car to get to the location than the combined cost of every thing else. The car was only used to get there and get back, but it's not like I could only rent it for the start and end days.

Just having to rent a car a few times a year would kill most/any potential savings from an EV.
I like the analysis of the different options.

But seeing their demo of their proposed idea - well, I think I'd much rather just have a hard split between them. The oozy-woozy compression of space just feels a bit...gross, without any particular benefit.

And ultimately, it's still just a split-screen - just one where each of the screens is smaller.

There is also one more option I think I have seen, which is that when the two players are far apart, the camera zooms out. And you can also limit the players in how far apart from each other they can be.
In China, you can find new ICEs and EVs for less than $10k, not exactly road legal in the states, but they exist.
This is the way. Currently have one ICE. Would probably buy an EV for a second. Too many things are too hard or too unsafe in an EV and renting can be a nightmare sometimes.

I also think people forget what happened to rentals during COVID.
Unfortunately that is kind of public practice right now, yes.

I have received some comments about criticism of the company's vendors on LinkedIn in the past. Note: Not even clients or our company itself! Just vendors, companies that sell stuff to us. Unfortunately some entanglement is always happening.

But to fire someone over it and claim this publicly is bringing it out in the open.
I understand their claim to copyright of recent material but the real reason so much of their information was used is bc we are talking about the, essentially historical, NYT archives that date back to likely the early era of the newspaper itself.

I don't think they should have a right to the records of people who lived before simply bc they underpaid, over worked human journalists to exploit their creativity - largely to make the "Newspaper Barons" rich.

I don't think they ought to have implicit, automatic copyright on older stuff. How old is my only debate.

What good is old news really? Real old is good for college papers but news from 4 years ago... who cares?

Yes. Larger SUVs and trucks are making roads less safe for pedestrians, cyclists, and even other cars.
First of all, let's dispense with the notion that "on twitter" actually matters, given the man is so petty that he canceled a dude's Tesla order over a tweet that criticized him.

Anyway:

"grievances/politics"

It came out that he paid a $250,000 settlement for a sexual harassment suit and he decided to respond to this by making jokes on twitter, quote: “Hi Chad, long time no see! Fine, if you touch my wiener, you can have a horse.”

Can we not act like this is "politics"? This is about the basic decency people should expect from any employer.

I agree with you about ham and pineapple. The problem is the sliced ham, which just doesn't pair well with tomato sauce, not the pineapple. Maybe taro would be a better topping than ham to make a pizza unambiguously Hawaiian.

I am not Italian, but I enjoy pizza. You might be interested to know that (ham and pineapple) Hawaiian pizza was the invention of a Greek-born Canadian.
That's not really a good analogy, unless you already own a short range plane that you use for your daily trips, and to accommodate your occasional long trips, you'd need to own a long-range plane that's actually cheaper than your short range plane, albeit with slightly higher operating expenses (and of course, greater emissions)

If gas were much more expensive, it'd be much easier to sell people on EV's, but since there's not a huge difference in operating expenses between an EV and ICE car, why wouldn't people stick with the ICE car to meet 100% of their needs instead of an EV that meets 90% of their needs?

If the USA had a robust charging network for all cars (not just Teslas), then it'd be a different matter but I've regularly encountered broken chargers (shown as operational in the app) as well as long lines for chargers (at 20-30 minutes per car, even a few cars waiting in front of you makes for a long wait).

I thought I'd have traded in our second car (a Hybrid, not a plug-in) for a BEV by now, but have run into enough charging difficulties on long trips to make me hold on to it. Renting an ICE car for long trips isn't really a good option since it's 30 minutes to the nearest car rental place and they have no parking, so it means my wife and I have to drive an hour to pick up the car and bring it back home and may the same trip after we get back from our trip.
This happened to me. Users initially couldn't directly control the content being hashed, because it contained a random element (via UUID). Later, the API surface expanded.

Luckily, my personal rule is to default to a cryptographic hash unless I can convince myself that cryptographic robustness will never matter and performance definitely will matter, rather than the other way around.

In this specific case all users were internal to the company, so it wouldn't have really mattered if it was vulnerable. But it could just have easily been an external user-facing thing.
been doing the same with pop_os (regular releases not the LTS)
Parking in denser cities is limited, slot of us only have one space and so one car.

Not for lack of experience, as chief of infotech I brought business-grade software projects from whiteboard to screen, but talking to a computer is just tedious. So much plumbing.
I'm not sure what you're talking about, you definitely seem to have misconceptions about passwords, their math and services like haveibeenpwned.

You seem to like simple passwords and think that people should use them so long as they're not leaked.
Well no, simple passwords are never good; a probably very large number of the possible ones has already been the subject of some leak, and they're very risky in any case.

Service providers (should) strive to give some protections even to users with bad passwords, but you sure can't rely on that.
Human relationships are not that cold. It is against human nature. Sure acting human may be suboptimal from a business sense, but there should not be a surprise when a human acts human.

It could be much smaller, maybe 2-3x better compression. Better support for surround sound / multichannel audio. If an AAC stream were used for the lossy predictive stage, then existing hardware acceleration could be used for energy efficient playback.

There are at least 15 million illegals currently in the US. If they all left, there'd be atleast 3-4 million housing units freed up instantaneously, mostly in areas already with hard to get housing. It should be pretty obvious what that would do to housing prices.
Just remember, local external drives can still burn up in fires or drown in floods. I thought about this recently a lot and went with a Synology where I can have all of my data locally but backup that data to B2 (Backblaze) automatically.

It grew out of an in-memory MVCC DB I was building at my previous job. After the company folded I worked on it on my own time for a couple months, implementing some perf ideas I had never had time to work on, and when update transactions were <1us latency I realized it was fast enough to be an STM. I haven't finished implementing the STM API described on the site, though, so it's not available for download at this point. I'm not sure when I'll have time to work on it again, since I ran out of savings and am going back to full-time employment. Hopefully I'll have enough savings in a year or two that I can take some time off again to work on it.
I read the trick is to charge at the end of a day when the battery is warm rather than first thing in the morning when its cold. Its a mind shift, but totally workable.

You'd be surprised! I'm a politician in a rural county in the USA and Cell Phone coverage is one thing that people complain about the most. Probably only 30-40% of the county has good signal strength. I'm really excited about this because has the potential to make things so much safer for folks around here.
Super expensive.
I can consult you on that subject if you want to chat.
The compression penalty is actually massive. The bytes you're trying to read might require reading other bytes elsewhere on the disk in order to decompress them.

It's not just compute power, I was generalising with that statement. The real world speed hit can be as bad as read speeds an order of magnitude slower than if you disable compression.

You really only want to compress data where it makes sense to compress it.
Good.

I've been reading "Cobalt Red" How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives and it is deplorable how the Congolese people are treated.

Maybe they'll discover or manufacture a material that can replace Cobalt that has the same thermal stability but by then it will be too late.
you might be getting downvoted for conflating REPL with JIT, but there's definitely a place for a C++ REPL (and anyway, with ROOT/cppyy you can basically use inline C++ in python REPLs)
If you were spending $500/month on gas at typical prices that's anywhere from 125 to 170 gallons, if you're only getting 20mpg that's close to 3,000 miles a month, maybe 35,000 miles a year. That's a lot of driving compared to the average person.
> I don’t understand what people expect to gain by antagonizing people that cannot drive an EV

it's because the people who do this are actually expecting those who cannot drive EVs to sacrifice, in order to drive an agenda (which might be climate change for example).
Not necessarily? Most of us don’t make most of our money through command of capital, so we aren’t capitalists in that sense. Far more are probably capitalists in the sense of liking capitalism and more-or-less promoting it, specifically, but that still may not be most, let alone everyone.

Anyway, markets and investment pre-date and are not identical to capitalism. Working in and among those (“yet you participate in society. Curious!”) does not imply love of those things, nor even does appreciating or being a fan of markets and private investment require one count oneself a capitalist in an ideological sense. They’re not identical.
It's not about skills. It's about taste. Nothing wrong with getting someone else to do a cover or two. The question is whether the author had even the judgement to ask someone else for better work (in their taste). Same for typesetting. Same for proofreading.

And then there's the french publishers who prefer a text-only cover (and minimal at that) as a matter of their taste (and I guess, expectations of their customers - since not all french publishers go text-only).

I'm curious if you shopped the PHEV Cayenne to compare? I'm very likely to buy one this month (used) and the few that I've test-driven have seemed pretty great, coming from a 235K miles 2005 CR-V. :)
Maybe - but the deluge of anti-Musk articles in the media the last few months is a probably more newsworthy. We can't ignore the fact that after buying Twitter and getting rid of some of the speech restrictions, he has been sued by several federal agencies, lost major federal contracts and all sorts of (questionable) scandals about him are now suddenly being discovered.
Last time I tried to do the math, the heaviest battery a normal person could hoist into place would only give you about 15 miles of distance.

I'm not convinced crypto is inherently less secure; I'd argue it's more secure on average. Data breaches happen every day; whether in financial services or not. The difference is that a breach is catastrophic for crypto; but just bad for most businesses.

> drive an agenda (which might be climate change for example).

Calling climate change an agenda is like calling gravity a political position. If you don’t believe in climate change, there is no value in a discussion. If you’re driving a studio apartment on wheels around town, some sacrifice might be required. The future is unlikely to look like the past.

“About a quarter of Americans (23%) think they’ll have to make major sacrifices in their everyday lives because of climate change. A larger share (48%) expects to make minor sacrifices because of climate impacts and 28% of Americans expect to make no sacrifices at all.”

Not in the APNIC measurement. It's 35%. Maybe opera and/or telemor doesn't like doing ipv6 with Google. Apnics figure is fed from ads but the ipv6 test is in linode/akamai

Akamai's stats that they do themselves agree with apnic btw.

Seriously: Google is just wrong sometimes. This is one of those times. They don't see the ipv6, but others do.
And this is only because modern tech has made distance a moot point - we can travel _any_ distance these days, up to the moon (it's all a matter of just cost).
