There are actually quite a few reasons why sedans stuck around.

One is separation of the passenger cabin from the cargo area. More than once I've accidentally bonked someone in the head putting something in the hatch or have had a dog escape because they managed to leap over the seat and get out through the open hatch. It's also easier to hide valuables in the trunk, as there's no indication anything's in there unlike the open rear deck of a hatchback you can see through the windows.

Another is lower center of gravity. There's not a large chunk of metal and glass above the beltline. This helps handling characteristics and makes it easier to engineer predictable patterns for the suspension. It also helps tire wear as there's less lateral force on the sidewall from the lowered center of gravity.

There's also the structural rigidity. Sedans have a slightly higher structural rigidity to them than hatchbacks due to the three box shape creating cross bracing. It makes it easier to engineer them to survive a crash without harming the occupants.

And lastly there's aerodynamics. Many hatchback designs in the modern era are extremely rounded for stylistic reasons. This is terrible for aerodynamic efficiency compared to a proper Kammback rear design. A sedan with a properly designed rear windshield and trunk actually has far less parasitic drag because it creates a much smaller area of low pressure air directly at the farthest rear edge of the vehicle. Unless you drive a Ford Fiesta sedan, in which case you're getting the worst of everything. If you've ever seen those monstrosities that BMW calls an "X5 Coupe" this is them trying and failing to apply the Kammback aerodynamics of a modern sedan to an SUV.
Good point. I guess don't use `fmt` for that...
> Broken down by state, I’m sure there are states that are safer than Germany

Based on fatalities per 100k persons (not a great statistic but the one quoted in this thread), and 2022 data, then nope. Every single state is worse than Germany.

Even District of Columbia - basically a city with much less reason to drive - manages a worse score than Germany as a whole.

The Impreza WRX was the rally platform, kind of like how you can get a fast Civic Type R or a Golf GTI as opposed to the "regular" model. In recent years, the WRX has been spun off into a separate line, dropping the Impreza name. The regular Impreza is separate.
On the subject of getting "private" data from the browser.

Somehow my Bank webapp was able to 2FA prompt me on sign-in with my hostname (aluminium). How did it get that? And when using their site from mobile it's able to see the text with the 2FA code and auto paste it in! Wow/How? Pixel+Chrome or Linux+Chrome.

Also, you need to consider your prior probabilities. If you performed an experiment that showed, 0.001<p<.05 that the sun has spontaneously stopped undergoing fusion, I wouldn't be very worried.
Yes, by "work" I meant "do what they are specifically paid to do, i.e., perform in front of an audience.
They're not talking about IP's. They're talking about SNI, which communicates the target hostname in the clear before the https session is established. ECH addresses that problem, but that is only recently starting to see wider use.
Interesting. 'went to checkout 3401 Mandela, but they are queue-based so it might take years.

As for Wood Street & WGrande.. the place is rather small and pretty much fully taken. Guys were using trash as a moat to keep people out. At Mandela Pkwy &Fwy it looks quite decent, though it might be too high and the twin pillars are all privated excepting one in the middle of the road which has bad vegetation inbetween. At Hannah &Fwy, getting in might be possible since there's a gap where the end of the fences meet, slanting and opening upwards. At Helen &Fwy, there is a bar removed and if my head can go through then all my items can sequentially. At Louise &Fwy, entry might be possible through the bar at the mouth of the gate since it is bent open at the bottom, or via the 'steps' (stuff lying at the gate) to a defanged area with soft landing. At Hollis &Fwy, although there it is crowded, at the center there is a pretty big opening into the fenced area.
> it’s highly unlikely this could be trimmed unless all format strings are parsed at compile time

They probably should be passed at compile time, like how zig does it. It seems so weird to me that in C & C++ something as simple as format strings are handled dynamically.

Clang even parses format strings anyway, to look for mismatched arguments. It just - I suppose - doesn’t do anything with that.
I mean in fairness the 3:53 video is about 3 minutes longer than necessary.
How so? Diffuse and reflected sunlight is still orders of magnitude brighter than you can feasibly generate in a mobile phone.

Perhaps the solution is eye tracking and steerable lasers lighting up the retina directly. That should cut the power requirements by a factor of a few thousand!
Point taken re: gc.

For query plans, in nearly every plan flip I’ve encountered, the root cause came down to either poor table / column statistics (because they had let the table grown too large without appropriate tuning), having an enormous amount of joins beyond the deterministic level the planner could provide, or sub-optimal queries. The latter is growing less common as planners get better and better at rewriting on the fly, but it’s always good to know how to do things optimally.

A good example is semijoins / antijoins. With modern versions of both MySQL and Postgres, you’ll probably have “WHERE foo IN (…)” turned into “WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1…)”, but it’s better to write it the optimal way in the first place.

I will grant you that indexing can be bewildering, with its many rules, caveats, and gotchas.
I am not entirely clear what changed in the CGM device or FDA guidelines. Though I am happy to see an OTC of this now approved. If we could do the same for CPAP then that would be another step in the right direction.
There's a lot of evidence... a century or more old.

The lack of recent evidence is inherent, it doesn't say we fixed it. But also we also changed enough stuff on the last century that blindly applying older lessons isn't a gainfully strategy.
That's an interesting idea!

I guess it is less the uni than the first job(s). On the uni for me it was everything from assembler, c, bash to java and matlab so rather no chances for catching an accent.

But later working with some folks and doing much coding on my own could create some style, like naming the methods or the overall way of thinking of and structuring the code.

Also the Clean Code and Thinking in Patterns books could shape that in some way.

> employees simply doing what was best for them

No leader should expect anything different from their people. It is your job to align the incentives so that what is best for the employee is to do those things that are best for the company. If you are relying on people to do what is not best for them out of loyalty to a corporation/startup/vision, you do not have an accurate pulse of the modern work force.

And yes, when a leader or company looks like it is going sour, sometimes employees act in bad faith for their own self-interests. When that happens, question why -- what is it that makes them think bad faith actions are more beneficial than helping the company. Don't just fire and forget... do some self-critique to find out why someone who was smart enough to be hired in the first place lost faith in your leadership. There are likely important lessons there.
Because when you live in a country as large as the United States, you are on the road a lot more so your chances of dying on the road go up. The quoted statistic is not per unit of distance it’s just per 100,000 people so it’s biased towards places that are smaller.

I'm on the east coast of the US in a large metro area. My last electric bill was $585 and I used 1800kWh for the month, so my costs are roughly $0.32 cents per kWh currently.

Gas at the closest station to my house is currently at $3.40 (according to Google Maps)

EDIT: I don't see anywhere on my bill that I'm paying a peak rate. I do charge my car at night though, so I wouldn't be surprised if I'm paying the electric company extra just to do that.
If you live in a city, you typically go to a supermarket 3-5 times a week. And if your family is small enough to fit in a normal car, you can easily carry the groceries. Those trips don't take too much time either, because urban supermarkets are smaller than suburban hypermarkets and designed for quick visits.
If you go to Amazon and search for "a1c test" (by pts Diagnostics), the pack of twenty is cheapest per test. You will also need a pack of disposable lancets, a finger lancing device. You will also optionally alcohol swab to sanitize your finger without contaminating it, but soap and water work too. Remember to shake it well when testing, otherwise the result is an error. Always discard the lancet after use. You need to test only once every 1-3 months. Refrigerate everything, but let it warm to room temperature before testing. If I remember correctly, the result number is like an exponential moving average over about three months. If you're in the prediabetic range, things like avoiding high-AGE foods, processed carbs, and red meat should help bring it down, as should consuming ceylon cinnamon, flaxseed, and berberine. Of course cardio also will easily bring it down. Every factor contributes in the ballpark of 0.1, so one needs a lot of changes to gradually bring it down into an optimal zone.

Interesting, what's an example of a compatible competitor with equal or higher quality for significantly less?
Of course you do; and thats where a lot of the papers are locked up, behind IEEE/ACM/Science/Nature, other journals. I guess that's a huge reason to stay involved, if nothing more to access the different subgroups, both for journals and papers. There is often no other place, in my experience, to access that level of information and knowledge. And especially if you wish to publish, on the edge, yourself.
Pretty ridiculous to not measure deaths per some unit of distance traveled.
Competition is usually good for bringing prices down (basically discouraging price-gouging by the manufacturer), but scale in itself can bring costs down too. The manufacturer has to amortize their development and regulatory approval costs across devices sold.

Or you could say that competition reduces the price ceiling, whereas scale reduces the price floor.
IIRC SUV also more likely to roll over in an accident due to high C of G.
> Easily solvable if you put it with other elephants.

Would it be that easy?

Imagine a handful of wild humans, having never had any contact with other humans, no education or anything, just put somewhere and left to themselves.

How many centuries would they need to even develop an actual language?

They might very well be totally unable to cooperate or survive at all, without a preexisting society to guide them.

Even if they don't have societies as developed at humans do, I can imagine the same would happen to different degrees with elephants, mammoths, dolphins, crows even.

> We don’t shut down the sale of car parts because Normies don’t normally do their own car repairs.

We actually have done this, across industries. And now we have a "right to repair" movement because people realized their freedoms were curtailed.

It's important that we don't disrupt people's ability to learn about their own body. Some things are a health risk, and we want to prevent scams, but we shouldn't lock people out behind expensive and bureaucratic gate keepers.
Long road trips are awesome in a Tesla. I've done 4 2000 mile trips in one. Stopping for a bathroom, meal or sleep every 250 miles is something you'd be doing anyways, and the trips are invariably mostly well covered interstates.

It's the medium distance trips that are more annoying. On a 400 mile trip you'd normally just drive that straight. Adding 20 minutes for a charge is sometimes annoying.
That story about Fairchild manufacturing at Shiprock is fascinating and heartbreaking. Glad to see it so thoughtfully researched and presented.
This PoV of software is why Excel (or Microsoft products in general) almost always wins against any database or specialized tool for creators, engineers, accountants alike.

macOS (and the entire Unix universe) is a shitty environment for people who rarely / don't need terminal but whose job could be improved by a lot if a scripting language is used.

Microsoft used to champion intermediate users who need more power than mindlessly clicking web pages. They are now turning their products yet another copy of the other systems where you are presented with a cliff as the learning curve.

I disagree completely that a simple programming environment should require terminal access. Terminals are unforgiving for mistakes that a beginner makes. Most of the terminal capabilities should be done in GUIs. One should be able to access all files, edit them, change the OS environment variables and create programming projects in GUIs. We achieved that in 90s already. Why should we go back?
> Bigger cars need more fuel -> bigger fuel trucks

The fuel trucks aren't going to change in size, they're going to come more often. Also, oil is typically distributed in pipelines or on ships rather than trucks until the last mile. Meanwhile a fuel tanker holds some 10,000 gallons of fuel, i.e. enough for "large" 20 MPG SUVs to go 200,000 miles. Meanwhile the tanker is generally transporting the fuel less than 100 miles, so this is diluted by a factor of 2000. Because of the 4th power law, this still causes nearly as much damage as the SUVs themselves, but they're both still negligible compared to all of the other commercial trucks transporting everything else.

Obviously this doesn't even apply to electric vehicles.

> They use more materials to make, require bigger places to store/maintain them and go through bigger consumables ie tires -> bigger lorries.

This is an even smaller effect than the fuel.
It’s very late here and/or I‘m dumb, but isn’t 290 minus 30 equal to 260…?
I like this analogy. And I suppose that’s the risk-reward trade off: a founder can really get more out of a company than a manager but when you lose them it’s a drop. But I would argue that you can always find professional management when the founder is out.
More populated cities are making EV harder, because apartments are mostly missing charging spots and only in some new building a handful of parking sport per building have AN OPTION to pay to install charger. And offices are also mostly missing charging spots too, plus remote work factor.
The leaders of EV adoption are countries with rich people in personal houses with cheap (per kW) personal chargers. Or simply rich people.

>> The lady's claim was (allegedly) that she has a perfect ability to distinguish between the tea-milk orders

I believe you added the word "perfect" which makes a substantive difference. I think this highlights the complications that get involved when trying to turn a simple proposition into an meaningful claim:

- Can we prove that person X can observe taste of tea with > 50% reliability with 95% confidence (what Fischer did)

- Can we prove that person X can observe taste of tea with 100% reliability with 95% confidence (not statistically possible)

- Can we prove that person X cannot observe taste of tea with > 50% reliability with 95% confidence (only possible if this person guesses wrong more often than randomly)

- Can we prove that person X cannot observe taste of tea with 100% reliability with 95% confidence (just need one example)
The brain tells the finger what to do (press 'r' to reply to email).

But the brain does not walk down and presses the 'r' key itself, that would make the finger redundant, and it would be a distraction for the brain. The brain also doesn't talk to the finger and tell it how to move to the 'r' key step by step, as that would be micro-management and piss the finger off.

What the brain needs to do is to enthuse the finger so that the finger acts in a way the brain would have acted - the "finger as the extended brain".

Now a good leader can manage to enthuse not just one finger, but 20 "fingers" - and all their transitive reports. (No wonder successful biz leaders are similar to cult/sect gurus that can seem to distort reality.)

Discounts to maintain volume, at the cost of profits?
If you want to scale out, you need to have other be responsible for chunks of the operation. And they won't be responsible unless they have autonomy. This doesn't mean 100% free reign, but it does mean giving up a certain amount of control.
