This list is missing a linux-ey system which doesn't use Systemd that is growing in popularity! WSL! WSL somewhat annoyingly has a custom/proprietary init system. Partially due to it's "interesting" integration with

I've actually had cars with fantastic voice recognition, but they have always been when using Android Auto in the car (so it's not really the car doing the voice recog) I used AA a TON in an Audi TT convertible and it would correc

Wait, so if i'm reading this right the process is: * parts can be imported tariff free into the US to be used to manufacturer cells * cells get exported back out to other countries (to enable the tariff free importing of the parts). *

But then that means breaking backwards compatibility, stranding huge parts of the internet on older versions, splitting the community into "pre-massive-change" and "post-massive-change", and a LOT of work by both PHP mai

That's what really gets me. Anyone that works with PHP on a daily basis very quickly gets used to some of the naming differences or inconsistent signatures. Anyone that works with PHP rarely is almost assuredly going to have to look it

But you're building a strawman there. I don't think I've ever seen anyone claim that javascript invented these features (especially not this one! It's a reference to the global scope...). People are excited to have these

It's getting to the limit of my knowledge here, so please don't take this as fact, however: I believe it is because of a weird distinction between "direct" and "indirect" calls in javascript. The spec says that

it is! And I just now realized that I have seen it used many times before, in for loops and variable declarations. It just seems so foreign and out of place when used outside of those instances though, and for me at least the purpose of it

That's a really cool trick/abuse of syntax that goes back to the confusing `this` in javascript. calling a method or function directly (when in the global scope) will set `this` to the global object. But calling a method or bound

But that's what makes this beautiful in my opinion, it can't really be simplified anymore and still do it's job! It's bad code that has to be bad, it has to be complex, it's inherently difficult and needs to tiptoe

Yup! This can get XmlHttpRequest in any environment that has it. Which means it's extremely easy to write code that works both in the main thread and a worker transparently.

I hate this trope that "js people just discovered this feature and now rush to get it included". Not only is it not true in many cases (I've been using pattern matching for years in other functional languages and I'm anx

Yeah I've see a lot of people (the author included) call this horrifying, I think it's beautiful! It's a piece of code that is simple on it's surface but has an incredible amount of depth to it. Every single line has a p

For me the difference is that the feelings of distraction and inattentiveness aren't just with things I don't want to do, they are always there, and are sometimes worse with things I enjoy doing. And the hyperfocus happens when it

I have also heard that they are having some trouble with the laser interlinks and alignment as well as the cost of them at this point, so they are starting with the microwave interlinks. They still plan on doing the laser interlinks eventua

The APIs that Home Assistant uses (and can possibly use in the future) are the exact ones they are shutting down here.

I've actually already thought about that a bit! Apparently there's a hacker still inside me with a penchant for self-torture that really wants to see how far I can take that interface! Technically you can do text input in the app

Oh absolutely! I hope I'm not coming across as advocating for people to not wear helmets! I just thought it was a very interesting study and that helmet manufacturers could possibly find ways to mitigate it.

I can't see that link (it says the product ID is invalid), but I know that measuring CO2 is actually pretty hard and requires some somewhat expensive stuff, but measuring things like O2 is easy (i believe, i'm going from memory he

I live in florida, so I'm well accustomed to the humidity! But thanks for the tip, I actually hadn't thought about that. Part of my home automation system is humidity sensors as well, and while they do spike over 65% sometimes (pr

I picked up a CO2 monitor a while ago myself, and the biggest surprise was having it on in the morning in our bedroom with the doors closed. It was easily over 1000ppm IIRC. Ever since then I've made sure to set my AC system to run the

From what I can see so far, there isn't any way to replicate 90% of the functionality through the assistant APIs, and even their FAQ and messaging seems to be reinforcing that they won't be adding it. For example, you can't g

I believe the kind of Google Assistant integration you would need to replicate this kind of access is impossible in publicly available APIs currently. Google has much more integration capabilities, but they seem to be this far "invite

The insane software developer in me wants to just smear the time across the US uniformly and do away with timezones all together. The New Year's Eve celebration would be a wave of cheering across the US!
