Normal looking hybrids are definitely out there - take a look at Kia and Hyundai. They have several models of hybrids that look just like a regular car. There's a Toyota Avalon hybrid too. I think they are out there, but you don't

I think there's a third one: To generate hype. C is already established - it's been around long enough that it doesn't need advertising.

Likewise, it's a great series, very well written, sad to see it so unknown and underrated...

This is true. We used to call 80s Toyota truck keys the "any key" because any Toyota truck key will unlock and start almost any other Toyota truck from the same era.

I just started working remote - I have a separate office, but it's not 100% for work (I have a 3D printer and other fun distractions in the room). I was a bit concerned at first with having a clear separation and that it being a "

If I'm not mistaken, one more is that the only fully stored file in SCCS is the first commit, from them on its just the deltas. Checking out a lot of files with a long commit history could take a while on the old hardware we had back w

Absolutely! Either everyone can say it, or no-one can. Simple equality...

i3 really is just incredible and simple - and not at all opinionated about what other components you use (statusbar, menu, notification system, screen locker, etc).

In addition to Waze being owned by Google, as mentioned by others, Waze pops up ads in the middle of trips which should never be tolerated by users. Waze also tends to make bad traffic worse by directing cars off high-volume roads onto low-

Even if you pay cash, a dealer may require a credit check, however you have no obligation to provide any financial details. I think they just want to make sure your credit is good enough for some proxy that your check is good. I've als

It definitely works. After deleting my LinkedIn account 5 or 6 years ago, my recruiter spam dropped to nearly zero. It was a great decision.

In my experience - a car with both adaptive cruise and auto emergency braking: it handles the situation quite well, but the human driver (i.e. me) uses hints that the autonomous systems cannot, such as brake lights coming on ahead. The auto

I have the same experience. I've had these annoying people chase me around the store until I've had enough and have to rudely tell them to stop harrassing me. I've complained to store management several times, but I guess Hom

Wow, Tesla doesn't have auto emergency braking? Even my Kia has that - adaptive cruise for following cars, auto emergency braking for stationary objects (and when the car in front of you suddenly slows down). Yeah, I'll keep my Ki

Big Trak was great! I had one too. Great fun programming it to drive itself around the living room.

This title, in addition to being obvious click bait, contains inappropriate and offensive language. Profanity is generally used by people too stupid to come up with something more intelligent to say.

I think this is intentional, as the norm is for 0 on a Y-axis to be at the bottom and increase going up. I can understand why it's confusing, and perhaps could be a UI option to reverse it, but I do think that's the reason.

It was a mess back then - in 2015. Instead, it's probably more useful to look at at where things are today rather than assuming things are the same as they were a few years ago. Things move fast in this space - for example, just a year

LTS for xenial is 4.4, and patches have already been released for it.

Note there won't be fixes for 4.10, as it's reached EOL for Ubuntu, so you'll need to move to the 4.13 patched kernel.

Few - Many electric cars use inefficient electric heat that draws as much battery power as the traction motors. Some have more efficient heat pumps, but not all. Regardless, heat is no more instant in an EV than a conventional vehicle.

Systemd is a huge improvement for sure. There's some effort involved in understanding new things, and this is one which has ultimately made our lives much easier. I say this as someone who maintains the OS for a large AWS deployment an

Ubuntu has kernels specifically tuned for different cloud providers in LTS releases. For AWS, it's the linux-aws package.

It's normal and expected. I have a few dozen. git makes it great to create little repos for lots of different things. They don't have to be production apps. They can be libraries, utilities, documentation, scripts, or just random

To me, that's not a downside but a positive feature. At work, I connect to slack via the weechat wee-slack plugin, and it's great to filter out all that gunk. I want plain text chat, and this way I can still get it.

I think you mean setuid bit. The sticky bit (on binaries) went away when we got VMM/swap.
