I have a conspiracy theory that the established car manufacturers wouldn't make normal looking EVs as they couldn't justify spending so much on R&D that would yield something that would cannibalize sales of their other models.

I for one believe that the weight/power/size/speed tradeoffs have a lot more to do with: - the need to have place for kids with safety seats in the back - the need to have place for a stroller/a snowboard/a few suit

I'm not American, so can't speak for them. Pretty much all kids in my relatively small town have scooters. The girls have Vespas or some Vespa lookalikes, whereas the guys do wheelies on theirs. Some seem to like a Mad-Max style w

Norway was the first country where more than half of all new registered vehicles were electric in 2020. And if you look at the data, Norwegians pick EVs that look and drive like normal cars. https://www.statista.com/statisti

The only viable place for something like Ami is car sharing in my opinion. The thing is, car manufacturers have been doing this since long before Tesla. They make something that screams 'look, I'm a weird thing that resembles a ca

There's a lot of symmetry with farmers buying 40 year old tractors. For exactly the same reasons. I really hope the pendulum swings the other way if even just a bit. I mean, there are still new dumb-phones being made. So maybe there&#x

I wonder if there are any car manufacturers boasting a 'dumb car' lineup. The current trend is pretty worrying. And sadly, it seems to get even worse with EVs. For some reason car manufacturers seem to want to market their EVs as

Just dropping by to say that you're right. You can absolutely _load_ dynamic libraries from Rust. I've done this. But of course, the executable is not dynamically _linked_ to the requested libraries. E.g., running `ldd` on my exec

I guess this depends somewhat on the situation. If the design is pretty clear upfront with a part that can be implemented as a core library, I'd make the library use `thiserror` from the beginning. However, if it's not really clea

The rule of thumb for me is `thiserror` for libraries, `anyhow` for executables. Seems to work well enough in the vast majority of cases. I do agree that the Rust way can be frustrating at first. But then, at some point it becomes clear tha

If this turns out to be true, the worry is not about the temperature decrease, that's just returning to normal. I'd worry about what having flown blind into a major temperature decrease event would spell for climate efforts. I mea

But that's basically what the conclusion is, isn't it? The author set out with 'obviously the monoid must be commutative', fuzzed it and came to the second point you mention. This all may be very obvious to some, but I f

The discussion should feature prominently somewhere on top that the comparison is between the Tokio async runtime and Linux threads. Reason being, people not familiar with Rust may assume that the discussion applies to Rust async in general

Yes. And the part that is not paid to the Russian state goes to fill the pockets of Putin and his cronies directly. And then is being spent on things like fancy estates in Russia and abroad, as well as mercenaries taking part in conflicts i

It's sort of a general question though. What happens if I use a C library from Pony that does or can potentially do unsafe things. I'm not sure I understand how such situations can be solved without some kind of a locking mechanis

Ok, so let's take an example. In a very hand-wavy way, the ZeroMQ messaging queue works without a central messaging broker or service, but purely as a library. In theory, you can implement ZMQ messaging primitives in your language of c

I don't see why the question should be unpopular. It's valid. I think because having a project on github aids discoverability. Also, the project mentions that they would stop accepting pull requests, not that there would be no int

I don't think so. The important difference being that CentOS is/was downstream of RHEL. So, repacked RHEL to remove the branding, but otherwise exactly the same. This obviously competes with RHEL directly if you feel like you&#x27

The effects of climate change absolutely have to be taken into account when modelling population dynamics around the world, but this is almost never done. I would really like to see a model that as a minimum includes the effects of all of t

So the trick is figuring out how to boost the things you want to boost without boosting or preferably even inhibiting things you don't want to boost. Actually, this echoes what is sometimes said about curing cancer. That it's pret

Very interesting. Another result showing how increased NAD+ levels 'benefit' cancer cells casting a shadow on the idea of NAD+ boosting supplementation to increase healthspan and lifespan. But then, it's not like this means t
