We recently went on vacation to Germany and rented a Polestar 2 from Hertz. The car was good but charging was infuriating. Had to download a new app for each charging spot and they didn't include a home-charging cable so we couldn&#x2

Excellent overview but still no timeline for Europe delivery if ever.

Could you share a photo (with any sensitive detail obfuscated) to give us an idea of what this looks like? We are hoping to produce something similar for our house.

I know you're playing devil's advocate but at this point it's just sunk-cost bias ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunk_cost#Fallacy_effect Yes, I agree that that the AI-generated virtual worlds are get

Nope. FB ("Meta") are shoveling cash onto a bonfire and will not reap the benefits because a competitor that people trust will beat them to produtc-market-fit long before they recoup their "investment".

This battery breakthrough has been reported many times but commercialisation is always 3 years off which is the typical purchasing/leasing cycle for vehicles. I cannot help but think this is Toyota - widely known for being way behi

Tesla can become the de facto charging station for all EVs which at a 100% markup on each kWh sold is a substantially higher margin than selling vehicles. Think of how profitable the oil companies with gas stations are. Tesla SuperChargers

We use it to write docs in our company which are then compiled by GitHub Actions and published as GitHub Pages. The best example of a Book produced with mdBook is the Rust Lang book: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/

If you want the lowest friction, open source, easily extensible Markdown to Web, Kindle, PDF, etc. tool, highly recommend mdBook: https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook it’s written in Rust, but you don’t have to know any

Robert, indeed I’m grateful for the answers people have given. Perhaps I asked the wrong question to begin with. I know better for next time to be more specific. Thanks.

Read the article. The methodology is flawed. It should say most copy-pasted Java function on GitHub.

Erlang/OTP (and therefore all BEAM Languages such as Elixir) have a supervision tree which means that each module in a monolithic application can be run independently in as many processors/machines as required. Essentially you get

Yes, "it depends". If you're building something internal and Desktop-only then maybe a Modal can be OK. But for a mobile-first app, you will never be able to test it on all the devices people use so consistent UI/U

Phoenix is awesome. Modals are a UX anti-pattern that should be avoided. https://youdontneedamodalwindow.dev/

Thank you for your sanity on modals. They are horrible on mobile devices and not necessary in most cases.

Agreed. The DB is the bottleneck way before the code architecture. But that is a "solved" problem from a deployment perspective. All the Cloud providers have managed Postgres that scales to petabytes and millions of transactions

Just use Elixir/Phoenix and get all the scaling benefits of Microservices running seamlessly across datacenters while maintaining the sanity running a single app on your localhost that is fast to test, easy to reason about and deploy

So a key logger packaged as something quirky?

Agreed. What regulation would you propose?

"I recommend you to go with Actix or Axum" ... for what use case? Choice is good. But too many options creates decision fatigue. Really wish the creators/maintainers of Rust would adopt one Web framework and standardise o

Two reasons: NASDAQ values Tech higher than LSE and inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 will mean funds/indexes have to buy in which will boost the share price. This is the smart choice for Masayoshi Son to maximise ROI.

The math doesn’t work for UBI at scale. Unless there’s a 99% tax on the 1%. And how likely is that?

Same experience for us. Every guest that rides in our Tesla M3 for the first time reaches for the manual release which works every time but gives a warning. I remember getting trapped in an ICE Jaguar as a kid because the battery died .
