Anyone using this? The last update is years old and the packages are for operating systems that are approaching their EOL.

Old time car races were really dangerous. I think the worst accident was the 1955 Le Mans Accident that killed 85 spectators.[1] It looks like the years (between 1952-1980) of 1956, 1963, 1965, 1972, 1976 and 1979 are noteworthy because tho

The CT's weirdness isn't just the silly exterior. I suspect they don't want to sell a lot of them because each one they sell is a potential liability. These new cars are 100% drive by wire; they're all in on their dry c

I think having recently been through WW2 where "reasonable things" included tasks like "hey let's disarm this unexploded bomb by chilling it in liquid oxygen." fundamentally altered people's risk calculus for a

Early race cars were not paragons of safety. I don't think I'd go so far as to say that Chapman intentionally made his cars less safe to make them faster, but I also don't know that he'd have spent any weight budget to

Colin Chapman, "guy who made lotus" had the maxim "Simplify, then add lightness" had similar guidance. Take everything out of the race car, then if something breaks add the last thing you took out back in. I imagine he&

I'm saying that the base 60 Babylonian system is derived from how many fingers people have on each hand and how many segments per finger, not because it's a fantastic base because it's got lots of whole divisors. If people we

"it is the most divisional number under 100" implies there's some committee of Hammurabi where "they" evaluated all the possibilities and decided "60 is the best". My understanding is that it's "

I get that this sort of MITM often breaks CI pipes, but working with this shouldn't be anything more than a chunk of work involving stuff you ought to be doing already, including: 1. put all assets into infrastructure you control, al

Just installed heat pump systems (daikin) this december. The exterior unit is basically silent even when there was a cold snap (below freezing but not northern alaska cold). I suspect an interior air source heat pump hot water heater, being

I'd suggest that 50kw/h is way too small and way too large. A car rental setup would benefit from having a couple big DCFC setups where cars are inspected / cleaned. EVs charge fast if the battery is empty (and warm) -- so th

Ugh. Worked at a university in the early 90s. Maybe irix was okay to use if you were just sitting in front of it doing rando user / graphics things, but administering it was unbearable. The license fees to get OS updates were exorbita

Ivan Sutherland described the reason [1] why PCs won a long time ago. Basically a custom tool may do a thing "better" than a general purpose tool for a while, but eventually, because more resources are spent improving the general

I imagine some people would also derive more pleasure from knowing they're eating the last of a particular species, or walking on a floor made from the last of a particular irreplaceable forest, or racing a car that is the car that was

50kwH is a huge charger. You wouldn't need many of such feeds even with hundreds of cars. How long do cars sit in the lot? Do you need to send cars out at 100% full? Is it good enough to make sure the cars leave the lot with 50-80%

by cduzz 3y ago
Nah, it's a big deal to not have charging where you park overnight. A huge part of EV ownership is the minimal thought put into keep track of how full the car is. You drive, you come home, you plug in, you drive later, etc. No worrie

Reminds me of the "no soap radio" joke. Joke being euphemism for collective gas lighting, but typically a "joke" played by kids on each other. Play is just preparing for the same game but when stakes are higher? https:

If you're using a 64 bit integers because you've got some super high precision math you need to do over an enormous space of addressable numbers, like maybe you're firing unguided kinetic energy weapons at enemies on other pl

Don't care. A numeric identity is an identity and so is a string. If you want to math it, it is a number, otherwise... string. "Will you ever want the 95th percentile PID? Then it is not a number. Move on."

Next I suppose you'll be proposing that all these random crashes and ransomware attacks are because of some stealth RCE in some low-level library that's used by 80% of the opensource ecosystem? Sheeple! In case my sarcasm is too s

I suspect it's just the opposite. There is no bureaucracy tasked with building. Instead there is an executive committee tasked with supervising consultants who are supervising construction firms who are contracted to do the work. There
