Regen braking in most EVs is significant enough that the brake lights come on when you lift off the throttle pedal (which is what engages the regen). Tesla has said their brake pads are potentially lifetime. And for good reason. You barely use them; so much less than a normal car it’s not even close. I have a friend with a 3 approaching 100k miles and isn’t even through half a set of pads. My EV, you couldn’t even bother me to check. I already know it’s pointless.

There is a lot of variance EV to EV. Some have strong regen, some not so much. Some use 1 pedal driving, some don’t.

For instance the Porsche taycan brake pedal is setup such that the first part of the travel uses exclusively regen braking, and as you push harder it blends in more and more friction braking too. Don’t expect this to become common though, as this primarily just benefits real performance driving. Trail braking is very hard/frustrating without this kind of feature, but driving that way on the street is certainly dumb, and probably illegal (could fall under exhibition of speed?).

The problem is existing practice. GCC has solved this problem for function parameters a long time ago with parameter forward declarations. But other compilers did not copy this GNU extension, and also nothing else really emerged... This makes it hard to convince the committee to adopt it.

In structs there is no existing extension, but a simple accessor macro that casts to a VLA type works already quite well and this can be used by refactoring existing code.

There are still some holes in UBSan, but otherwise I think you can write spatially memory-safe C more or less today without problem. The bigger issue is temporal safety, so the bigger puzzle piece still missing is a pointer ownership model as enforced by the borrow checker in Rust.

> Those who are surprised that you have to pay for access to an ABI have obviously never had to pay for their compilers from their software vendors (the price for the HP-UX garbage compiler was eye wateringly high).

But that doesn't seem to be the case, as Apple hasn't monetized Xcode and the iOS SDK libraries differently since the DMA came up.

Apple can charge for the SDK and all that it entails, but they can't charge for apps getting to run on users' iOS copies, as that's not something IP law contemplates.

What happens when a fully FOSS iOS dev environment comes out, like the way you can compile Windows binaries on Linux right now? What would Apple be charging for then?

How's that relevant? It's their second largest market for iPhone sales, representing around 25% of total units sold.

Everyone knows the problem has nothing to do with openness or whatever, but that it comes down to the 30% fee and companies not wanting to pay it.

The problem is the law isn’t written to say “30% fees are too damn high” and just mandate that the fees can’t be over X% or are capped at $Y per install/device/whatever.

Juniors already have bad and sometimes even negative ROI but today's working junior is the trusted engineer of tomorrow and the senior of the day after that. The problems they work on impart the knowledge and instincts that advance them through towards mastery and real value.

Budget-myopic executives already tried transfering that work to cheaper labor markets, but it worked much less than they expected and most ended up with unmaintainable software and loss of any hope for an actual engineering advantage against competitors. There's nothing new here.

There will be organizations that find a good and smart use for fully automated code generation, just like there is for outsourcing/offshoring, but it's not a universal win to just go with what's "cheaper" and organizations that don't look at the big picture are (as usual) trading short-term accounting gains for long-term value erosion.

That is bad. But not as bad a FBW system bug.
In city traffic, I rarely have to break. It's basically running the motor backwards (putting a load on it) and dumping the energy back into the batteries. It's limited by how fast the batteries can accept a change, so it doesn't always work when it's very cold out. I'll have to brake when a light catches me by surprise, and I brake when backing down my steep driveway. (The car does stop before getting into the street, but it's going faster than I'm comfortable with when approaching the sidewalk.)

The regenerative breaking is applied as you let off the "gas" pedal. It's kind of like driving a stick, but slows you down faster.
I really try to avoid getting sucked into political arguments online, but what you're saying is so absurd and deranged that I can't let it go.

First of all: what exactly do you think the term "dogwhistle" means? Are you suggesting that when RWers say "mainstream media", they really mean something else? To what are they referring?

Secondly, you're going to have to tell me what terms to search for because I just performed several "simple internet searches" and I see no evidence of what you're claiming.

Thirdly, what can be found easily with some simple searches is that "mainstream media" is an extremely common term that's widely used by everybody left, right and center.

Why are you making things up?
The comments you are responding to aren't referencing AT&T as egregious, but the misrepresentation of AT&T's intentions, given that AT&T desired the polar opposite of what the court ordered them to do, which was to split up.

> All you would need to do is to collect them with an electrostatic precipitator – a device that exposes the charged particles to an electric field and efficiently sweeps them away.”

How do they propose to do this? A little device mounted near each brake pad? A skim of the paper doesn't appear to show an opinion from them beyond citing this prior study [1]. The conclusion of the cited paper appears to show a progression towards a target:

> This study is our first step to install dust collectors in actual vehicles, in order to reduce the brake wear PM emissions. In this study, we evaluated the collection efficiencies of an inertial separator, an ESP, and a hybrid precipitator, independently. In the next stage, we will design a suction system that considers the structure and space of the brake system; then, the full dust collector system setup will be installed on a vehicle. At the final stage, the actual collection efficiency of the dust collector will be measured under various on-road driving conditions.

"standard Typescript configs are absolutely compiling to JavaScript"

You are missing the point. I want zero cost abstractions (for some level of abstraction - I accept e.g. there is a CPU and a browser). I don't care what it is compiling to.

Typescript is not a zero cost abstraction. (Zero cost meaning, here, that any overhead is incurred compile time only).

That's terrible. I want the Z.C.A. to be by-default, not "configure the heck out of the language to make it so".

I like the simplicity.

On your pricing you state that for $19 (presuming USD?)/mo you get 'CPU, T4, and V100 GPU machines' - how do you manage fair usage of the GPU hours?

For example, if I wanted a V100 for say 3 hours today, then another 3 hours tomorrow - how does that work? What are the limits?

Also - what is the internet connectivity? How many MB / GB/s up/down to US east/west, AWS Sydney/Melbourne?
Most extensions I see could be userscripts. Benefits include: it's easy to see the code you're about to install + if you get them from GreasyFork there's some good protections against obfuscated or external code.

We can look in the past to see what hasn't changed. Given the rate of innovation in the field, it's fascinating to see that some widely used tools have been here for 30-40 years or more. Unix, bash, vim, C, C++. It still worth investing in these seemingly archaic stuff. Notably C++: the cool kids want to learn Rust, but C++ is hard and we'll need to maintain all the existing code forever!

And of course, maths. I graduated in maths decades ago, and I always find it amusing when I see some tutorials on linear algebras making it to the top of HN, like if it was some fashionable new cool technologies. That being said, my math knowledge hasn't transferred in software engineering skills.

> On the contrary, it's the absurd claim that making "if (a != b > c)" a compiler error is somehow remotely comparable to changing C++ syntax so that it's the same language as Rust is what renders the entire conversation useless and is not what anybody is talking about here.

My point is that "it's okay to turn something into a compiler error" is vague and I don't know where the line is actually drawn. I don't think the boundary between acceptable and unacceptable breakage is obvious, which is why I explicitly gave an example that I knew for sure was outside it. I don't think the idea that reasonable people might disagree about what level of breakage is acceptable particularly radical, so I think it's worth not immediately assuming I'm participating in bad faith.

It's not a non sequitur so much as it was a preparation to make the point I'm about to make.

There is no world in which two institutions with plenty of money, knowledge, and a lack of coercion are going to come to an agreement for a loan with 50% interest.

Theory vs practice. In theory what you're saying could happen, in practice it's only going to happen when one party has a severe imbalance against the other party (and you know this or you wouldn't have tried to head off that argument). Since contract law deals with practice, contract law disagrees with your assessment that it should be allowed.

Which goes back to the whole ownership thing.

Just because someone _can_ draw up a contract to muddy ownership to the point that the seller of a $30k+ USD vehicle can retain control and absolutely limit what the purchaser can do does not mean contract law should allow it.

And there's too much precedence for this sort of thing for you to have a leg to stand on (although I'm sure you'll try). Just because someone _can_ sign a non-compete with no expiration does not mean the law should allow it.

ad nauseum.

Arguing that because contracts today muddy ownership so you can't act as if the purchaser has certain rights is missing the point.

What I don't like about Xano is integrating database tightly, which basically means that the data is hosted by Xano. I don't know if this is required or not. Many of the BaaS platforms do this, but I prefer just connecting and processing data and not hosting data.
