It doesn't even have to be snow. Heavy thunderstorms can close schools too.

It means that it needs to be able to get the vehicle into a safe situation regardless of conditions. That can mean needing human help once it is there in some cases. This doesn't mean that it needs to magically cross destroyed bridges,

A phenomenal commuter EV for between $25k-30k would do incredibly well in the US. It doesn't look like a huge market, mostly because there are enough alternatives that are all relatively similar. But an EV at a competitive price would

If minimalism means intuitive, I no longer find the android/ios ui minimalistic either. They've gone to a system of gestures that aren't particularly intuitive. The buttons were far more discoverable.

A Rivian R1T with dual motor and the large battery pack (352 mile range) is $79,000. An F-150 Lightning with the extended range battery (>300 mile range) is between $69k and $77k. Both have cheaper trims available, but the cheapest Light

That's true. Sometimes it is flatly stated too. You see, this is how scrum really works as without this, how would we be able to control development timelines? Also mumbling compliance means it just has to be this way for unspecified

In a lot of places that was the real waterfall method, and also how waterfall earned its illustrious reputation.

I want to believe that you are joking, but I'm afraid you are completely serious and also correct. I'm seeing an increasing drift with both this pattern and "safE" toward exactly what you describe. Don't forget your

yamlops is a real thing :)
551.
by _ea1k 3y ago
That makes a lot of sense, though I'd guess that a lot of yaml-ops types wouldn't want to have to write schemas.
552.
by _ea1k 3y ago
Yeah, that's why I prefer ytt over helm syntax. It isn't great syntax, but at least it is aware of what it is doing. Having said that, yaml has some pretty obvious mistakes. It should have been a lot more prescriptive about data t

by _ea1k 3y ago
TBH, ytt is the only yaml templating approach that I actually like. The downside is that it is easy to do dumb things and put a lot of loops in your yaml. The positive is that it is pretty easy to use it like an actual templating language w

I'm seeing that same pattern now. How did that weirdo version of scrumbut become so popular?

I think MrBeast has made claims before that some of his videos are that expensive. I don't doubt him.

While the company claims that ad revenue is declining, they dispute the declines in traffic. That makes it debatable at best. Common sense is not a good source for website and app analytics.

by _ea1k 3y ago
Probably a little of both, tbh. The first statement seems to be a fairly extraordinary claim to present without evidence. TBH, I don't need a citation for every fact, but I'd like a little more for things where they cannot be dire

Well, for one it is much cheaper.

It is amazing how effective the mentality of "move fast and break things" can be.

IMO, the old tonnage scheme is pretty weird and outdated at this point. It was originally meant to be based on payload, but those days have long passed. CT is in a weird in between. Payloads are similar to modern half tons, but GVWR is clos

There are a lot of interesting comments here, but I think the one that is getting overlooked is the batteries on these. Tesla announced their own battery production back in September of 2020. Now, well over 3 years later, their 4680 product

These are extremely early production units. Hopefully this means a higher than usual amount of testing on the test track before delivery. I wouldn't personally want to buy one either, but mostly because of the potential issues with suc

by _ea1k 3y ago
Yeah, I've bought a vehicle with ~200 miles on it. But it was near the end of a model run and there were very few left. IIRC, it had been transferred, and also had been on the lot for a while. It definitely shouldn't be the norm,

I think he meant the literal weight of the vehicle, which is ~6,500lb IIRC. It isn't exactly a standard usage, as it is a 1/2 ton truck by normal truck standards.

The Rivian R1T does better, although it is also significantly smaller.
567.
by _ea1k 3y ago
Yes, and you can view that in both the nav (on screen all the time) and the energy screen.
568.
by _ea1k 3y ago
The batteries being used really aren't the best in terms of energy density. It wouldn't surprise me if they get 5-10% improvement by the same time early next year, without adding additional cells or significant cost.

The 3 series may not be what it used to be, but it is still a great car. I'd take one over most of the commuters that I see on the road.

by _ea1k 3y ago
Yeah, if you've ever seen them loaded onto the trucks, it isn't necessarily done in the most careful manner. They don't get babied before delivery in a lot of cases. Having said that, once production is in full-swing, they ar
