Those statements are mostly true and also worth talking about, but they're not pertinent to that error (remotely provided JS not behaving correctly), or the eventual crash (which you'd cause exactly the same way for the same reaso

That phrase resonated with me. Do you not get burnout when you spend too much time in a busy city? God forbid you'd have to navigate one 8-5 every weekday.

The cheap answer is "yes" -- see custard ice creams as an example. Typically though, "cooking" requires heat, and most non-custard ice creams wouldn't be cooked. Even in the same phrase when talking about cooking ot

Yep, that's right. I thought about adding that detail but decided it might detract from the main points. Hopefully anyone interested also sees your comment.

Kind of. "Tracking", here, means providing some kind of `f(time) -> space` API. Dead reckoning is a mechanism for incorporating velocity and whatnot into a previously estimated position to estimate a new position (and is also o

Producing that general-purpose API from "battle proven 3rd party dependencies" comes at a cost. IME: 1. The API isn't quite what you need, so you add enough extra logic to integrate it that you might as well have reinvented t

I ran these numbers for a number of brands and models (over a decade ago, so the data's stale, but reliability has largely improved since then, while gas mileage has largely stagnated except in trucks), and it's not as bad as you&

I wonder if there's a business opportunity hiding in there for somebody to mod away the tracking from new cars. On my end, I've never bought a car with that crap in it, and I've never purchased from a dealer who also sells ne
