It's astonishing how similar all cars are becoming, outside of the superficial stuff. For a reason. Convergence on the optimal solution.

The negative replies to this are largely valid, but ignore the fact that we can have multiple strategies at the same time. I for one would love to be able to take my battery out, swap it, have a few so some are always on solar charge. Be ab

Software support is so crucial. I can't stress that enough. There is a huge amount of work to prepare the kernel and overlays for a new board and many manufacturers do the bare minimum. My experience with vendors who do this well are A

Can you comment on why is there always a drive towards lower voltage? And how this impacts design. A nieve take would have thought higher voltage would equate to less loss to heat. But then with a higher voltage I guess those transients bec

To all the detractors here. I lived on a boat for many years which was 12v only and didn't have the mod cons. You adapt pretty quick then hardly think about it. So everyone saying how it's fantasy to expect peoples behaviour to ch

One of the best posts ever here on HN on a difficult topic. Lots of personal experience here (family). The suicidal 'mode' needs to be interrupted before death. Usually it lasts only an hour or two. Helping one interrupt that mode

I feel like my whole life got simpler with less headaches when I discovered ZT. I adore it. Maybe there are other things out there which do the same thing but ZT is the single 'it just works' thing that has made my life easier the

I used my IR temp probe to get the ground temp in Sonora Mexico when I lived there and it was just under 70C. In the height of summer. That was when I learned ground temps can be higher than air

Responding with 'you don't know that' to a comment with no specific assertions, followed by 'its highly likely...' is a good example of 'irony'. We need more of those on US centric forums as a public educa

One of my greatest disappointments in life is that programmers don't give a shit about the actual experience of using a particular language and it's ecosystem, and instead go full sheep mode and follow the crowd for whatever reaso

Preemptive thermal shutdown at this temp doesn't mean the units aren't designed to handle much higher. It means at this stage in the beta program they aren't ready to push the envelope with customer deployed hardware. I alway
