That was assuming, based on their recharge count, daily 10% to 98% rapid charging. You’d only see that in a vehicle of this range if it’s being used as like a courier vehicle or moving billboard. Pretty much the actual worst cases.

When my road trip is in negative temperatures, I appreciate not having to be in the cold for too long. I think the bigger adoption issue is thoughts of scaling the charging stations. If there’s a line of cars at a liquid fuel pump, one can

Wx isn’t bad either. https://wxwidgets.org/ You don’t get an app that looks the same across platforms. You do get apps that look like they belong on your platform, even though the code is cross-platform. It uses the native

If you only need 100 Mbps the 3Com 3c905 series of PCI Ethernet cards are still some of the most reliable hardware you can put into your industrial PC that still has PCI slots. ISDN and ax25 are still really useful if you have low-bandwidth

Well, if it degrades to 90% after three years, and let’s extrapolate to 81% after another two to three years, then a battery swap in 5 minutes might be reasonable to do instead of charging once every three to five years or so. I guess it de

You should check the memory use of that browser tab. You’re not saving much either way running in a browser or in Electron, which is effectively a browser.

True enough, but nobody ports Python as a first systems language to a new platform. C is ubiquitous because it tends to be the first or second language on a newly designed system after the assembler. Every once in a while Forth comes before

My CS classes at uni were based in Ada. I doubt I’ll be surprised.

The article contrasts Python to Perl, saying Perl is purely interpreted while Python has compilation. This is factually incorrect. Perl is transformed into an AST. Then that is decorated into an opcode tree. The thing runs code nearly as fa

If all they wanted was to prove you were over 18 or over 21, those can be checkboxes rather than birthdates. It’s clear the bill’s author is an idiot or insincere.

I like Ada. I can’t believe this whole discussion about how types are handled missed the entire ML family of languages. ML, Standard ML, Concurrent ML, Caml, OCaml, and more have structural types, supported and enforced by the compiler. Ada

It will no doubt be challenging. Some US companies have offices in Australia. Many others hire only in the US or maybe also in one or two other countries. This is usually to do with labor law differences and the difficulty of keeping up wit

The board might not even be the right place. They’re watching children in minimal dress athletics. I think the DA or the AG’s office might be the right place.

That’s pretty common in apartments to have a single provider, especially in high rise ones or ones built before broadband was common. It’s unfortunate, but the cost of running wiring for multiple providers through old buildings can be prohi

I have 5 Gbps symmetric at home. I and my fiancee both work from home, so our backup fiber connection from another provider is 2 Gbps. We can also both tether to cell phones if necessary. We can get 5G home wireless Internet here, too, and

Residential ISPs don’t work financially unless you oversell peak time full-rate bandwidth. If you do things right, you oversell at a level that your customers don’t actually slow down. Even today, you won’t have 100% of customers using 100%

We still have some repos in Subversion and most things in git. It’s still exciting for every repo we get migrated out of svn. That’s a high bar to cross if we’re talking further improvements compared to git though.

And chicken. And they have a few other things like Italian beef. They’re branching out, too. We had one in our neighborhood in Houston before moving back here to Illinois.

Internet traffic requires routing and switching. That’s all traditional DC equipment in terms of power and cooling. They don’t require 80 or 100 kilovolt racks like something stuffed full of AI accelerators.

Those are mostly more traditional data centers. 20 or 30 kilovolt racks with separate cages for different tenants, some meet-me rooms, and a bunch of telecom gear are the order of the day.

Then there’s the actual language ABC. It’s in the Basic family and has whitespace indentation for structuring flow. It directly influenced Python. You could start your list alphabetically with A, A+, and A++. A is derived from APL. A+ is a

State ownership of industry is socialism. Richard Brand is every ounce a capitalist. He’s not out there converting his shares into employee shares, let alone into a public ownership. He’s practicing a different kind of capitalism than Enron

There’s a bit of a duality about perfect agreement within the voters for the party’s candidates and somewhat within the party membership itself. Yeah, there’s a lot of telling each other to piss off. There’s a lot of jockeying for the platf

I was in the industry when key lengths for SSL were different between US domestic and US products for export. That’s one reason so much Open Source cryptography software expertise built up in Europe so quickly.
