Honda's hybrids are their own thing. They're mostly-series hybrids with one or two direct-drive gears for cruising speeds, as opposed to Toyota's parallel hybrid system.

Whoa, it's MaskRay! Your blog has been a lifesaver for me every time I've needed to understand some obscure detail about linker behavior. Thanks a ton for all your work in this area, and thanks even more for writing about it.

The article is about depositing a check as an extension of credit; not spending via check. This creates a creditworthiness requirement that is in practice one of the most common reasons for someone to not have access to a bank account.

Not the parent, but: I strongly dislike this framing of "Fil-C is better than Rust" or "Rust is better than Fil-C". This is apples-to-oranges; users will almost never be comparison-shopping between the two because they

Machine code is unsafe, so any memory-safe language must necessarily be built on some unsafe code somewhere . Safety is always conditional on the underlying unsafe implementation having no bugs. With Fil-C, the "unsafe blocks" li

Honda's recent hybrids (CR-V, Civic, Accord) are like this too. Mostly series, but the engine can directly drive the wheels via a single overdrive gear for better cruising efficiency.
