Actually there’s two paths: first the traditional path of different unique wiring harnesses and various signals with unique connectors, or second a common power and coms bus design. If the Cybertrucks electrical ethos is followed by others

How is endorsing a candidate journalism? Sure journalists will have opinions on candidates, but that's not journalism. From what I've read this is from the opinion section of the paper, so it's not journalism in the classic s

Yeah, Java had some good ideas but just not quite there on the UX, like many things with Java sigh. Checked exceptions were annoying because you had to manually annotate the exceptions all the way up your chain. The list of effects should b

I mean both are fairly complex tables. The ipv6 addresses are longer, but really I'd use hostnames in either case. Ipv4 includes the client id's, dhcp lease time, Mac addresses, etc. I just wish routers had better / easier su

It's one character in the best case. In the worse case you need to convert the error types to your error type which just re-wraps or replicates the upstream error type. Then repeat this for every library type you use. Zigs error design

My belief is that errors should be handled using effect systems. So in the signature but not muddying the actual return types. Useful effect systems allow the end user to decide where and when to have the compiler enforce errors are handled

One thing I wish the tech companies would do is to use LLMs for junk moderation. At least to flag potential junk. Meta uses they LLMs to summarize comments already and can do this, yet they choose to allow obvious crypto scammers, T-shirt s

No, not really? Fukushima first became operational in 1971. That's 40 years before that incident or 50 years ago. Development of generation III+ "fail-safe" reactors began to be developed around 1990's. To my knowledge n

Nah, those are the giant overly complex fission reactors. Now we're talking about sleek, much safer, miniature designs that are mass produced. Well, technically they're actually mass fueled. ;)

The best thing about nuclear, IMHO, is that all of the highly radioactive waste ever produced by nuclear power plants in the US could fit into a single football stadium. Compare that to coal, oil, natural gas, etc. It's not too hard of

Fascinating that higher dimension manifolds are more restrictive! Though in a _very_ handwavy way it seems intuitive given properties like that in TFA where 4-d is the only dimension where the edges of the bounding cube and inner spheres ma

Conversely, I'd argue most brilliant people tend to have more dumb ideas than others, usually on oddly specific topics which most people would find inconsequential.

Interesting, Elixir should scale far more than that. Are you doing a lot of non-io processing or computations? I run Elixir on raspberry pi 4s doing IoT and they easily handle say generatings graphs with hundred of thousands data points. On
