Computers drastically change the scope of what's possible. They allow us to do things on scales that were unimaginable before. There are orders of magnitude more data in Google's index than in every book that has ever existed. Hec

AFAIK, Tesla's "savings" number is not meant to be TCO, just an adjustment for the price of gas vs. electricity. It doesn't factor in the lower amount of maintenance needed on an EV (maybe because they still want to sell

Who in the world would do that rather than just supporting both compilers?

Is it? I'm trying to think of actual fake news sites with a paywall and I'm drawing a blank. They generally seem to want to cast as wide a net as possible in hopes of catching some gullible rubes and selling them nutritional suppl

This is circular reasoning. You essentially answered the question "Why is it OK in one context and not in another?" with "Because it's OK in one context and not in the other." To break the circle: Why is web adver

Does it? I doubt people expect len(facepalmguy) to be 17 whether you say that's counting "runes" or "chars" (with both being defined as UTF-8 code points). If you know enough about Unicode to object to code points b

I think you may have misparsed that sentence. To me, the meaning seemed to be "You'd like to have a nice break for lunch, so you don't want to waste too much of it just on acquiring food."

If our bar for "decent" is the sandwiches at Pret (mentioned earlier as a contrast to the lack of sandwiches in the US), I feel like Subway is fairly comparable in terms of quality.

We use Terraform to automate the actual generation of the certificates (it checks the expiration date and does a renewal request when you're 30 days away), but the basic approach we use is to generate the certificate with DNS validatio

"I belong to the common case" is not a very useful or interesting thing to point out without elaboration.

Even in Java, if you're looking to do anything with dates, everyone will tell you to use Joda-Time over java.util.Date.

Ironically, "no trivial crates" is almost exactly the opposite of what the article seems to want, which is only small crates so you're not importing lots of needless bloat. It's hard to please everyone!

The idea that Tesla couldn't produce 85 cars and thus intentionally produced 15 bad cars when they could have produced 15 good cars seems a bit far-fetched.

Who is "we"? I don't know about where you are, but where I live, there is tons of public transport, with more being developed all the time, but nobody wants to use it because the design of the area is fundamentally unsuited t

I know, it's amazing how it seems like it should be a relatively simple problem to solve, and yet it remains unsolved in real life. Hence my question: How do you propose to make that happen?

And yet business owners aren't rushing to install chargers, even in places where I'll regularly see a bunch of EVs on my way through the parking lot. So that theory doesn't seem to pan out.
439.
by chc 7y ago
That's an extremely normal workplace. I've checked out tons of workplaces in my city, and for the ones that actually have chargers, the standard seems to be $2/hr for the first couple of hours and $4/hr thereafter. A wor

by chc 7y ago
If your solution to the difficulty of finding an EV charger is "put EV chargers literally everywhere," that would hypothetically solve the problem, but how do you propose to make that happen? That's what the question here is.
441.
by chc 7y ago
Those laws seem like such a raw deal, though, since it's not like you can take the charger with you. You're allowed to upgrade your landlord's property at your own expense, providing you also take out an insurance policy at y

The year of Linux on the desktop seemed like an inevitability for a lot of people. It never happened. I'd love for the future you envision to come true, but I don't see any reason to think it will, given how little movement there

This is kind of the "Year of Linux on the Desktop" of EVs. I'll believe it when I see it. I live in a community with an incredibly high number of EVs, but I can't get one because I am not a homeowner and there's no

You don't necessarily need 50A everywhere. Level 1 charging only needs about 12A. It's slow, but if you can be plugged in most of the time, it doesn't particularly matter that it's slow. That's probably enough to ke

It's not really comparable. Garage charging makes EVs more convenient than ICE cars, but they're much less convenient if you can't charge at home. ICE cars can stop at a gas station on empty and be back on the road completely

If you ensure your working set stays bounded, having swap enabled (say, with swappiness 1) is not a big deal. If you're worried about the performance characteristics of swap, you've already conceded that you aren't confident

I didn't mean long travel distances make buses go slower, I meant they amplify the disadvantages of buses, and America tends to have a lot of distance between things. If a trip would take one minute and it takes four instead, that&#x27

by chc 7y ago
Are they? It's always seemed to me that frequent stops, circuitous routes and long travel distances are the reason the buses are slow relative to cars. After all, cars have to deal with other cars as well. And for comparison, to the so

I feel like this would be putting the cart before the horse in the US. Failing to put parking in a place with poor walkability and terrible public transportation doesn't seem like it would encourage much of anything.
