Could you briefly take this typing test: https://livetyper.com/ And post the WPM you achieved?

Of course it would solve nothing. Putting more 0s on the money doesn't change it's value. This is so obvious only an academic could deny it. There's no such thing as a free lunch. But the make belief fairy "lalala I can&

Oh, are all the paren/bracket types interchangeable in Perl? I've never used Perl. Yea, each set of them ([], (), {}, <>) has a very distinct meaning in Elixir.

I, in fact, use Elixir serverless: I just send functions to my BEAM and it runs them for me.

Elixir doesn't have blocks as a separate concept like Ruby. The "blocks" are just syntax sugar for passing keyword lists of code to macros. What do you mean by "symbolic significance for brackets?"

In fact, it sounds awesome!

While the BEAM is the real magic, the languages (Erlang and later Elixir) are designed specifically to enable that. You can't just decouple the two.

IMO no. Carbon steel pans offer the exact same benefits and are much lighter, easier to handle, and easier to clean. Still, I even moved away from that. In making a great steak the pan is a factor, but much larger factors are quality of mea

Duh, the trick is to never stop drinking coffee and thus never having to pay back the energy plus interest. Everybody knows that.

Chevy Malibu starts at $25k, that's 2 or 3 classes bigger and nicer of a vehicle.

I mean then you're at "everything exemption" pretty quickly. Shelter is the biggest cost for many people by far, often 30% or more. If you add all health, car payments, and maybe food, you're at what, 80%? I'm all f

What do you think tire dust is made of? lol Do you work for Big Unreliable Energy & Big Luxury Only Unaffordable EV?

Certainly come a long way. When I first drove one, we struggled to make 100mi. These could be enough for most ride sharing services, yea. We'll see, I haven't seen one used as an Uber. No Leafs, either.

Unfortunately, no exemption for rent :( And health care is only the insurance payment or if you have an FSA/HSA.

Those are 2 of the oldest EVs, that's why I said "modern." These don't have great range and charge very slowly. I think they've both been updated a bit, so I hope they at least support modern DC fast charging now. L

I do see a lot of Model 3s, that's true. One time I got 3 3s in a single day :) Drivers seem to generally like it, although 2 of the 3 had put up sun shades from the insides because the glass roof was heating the car up too much. The M

Given that batteries make up a large fraction of new EV prices, I'm not sure that helps the economics.

We'll see if there's enough availability of economical EVs by then. Plus the charging infrastructure. Is there currently an EV that would be economical to operate as an Uber/Lyft/taxi? The Prius, very popular with driver

Maybe Russia should make an offer that doesn't involve "we keep the parts that we stole from you" :D
