You too are conflating wealth ("rich people") and income ("me").

One thing I've noticed consistently, is when politicians talk about "taxing the wealthy", they almost always follow that with "earning more than $xxxk a year". This is conflating wealth with income. Being within thi

For me, there's always a metallic residual taste in my water whenever I use a stainless steel bottle. Got tired and returned to using normal mugs.

On mirror vibration, my personal experience is that a lot of it is contributed by the diesel engine, at least on the freeway / at idle. It is really obvious when you're cranking it. The proximity of their mounting point to the eng

Datetime storage would consist of two explicit parts: one free from leap seconds (similar to the raw timestamp you get from a GPS receiver), and description of when leap seconds happen, so that you can transform the leap-second-free timesta

Rust iterators gives you JS vibes, with gotchas mostly related to lambda captures lifetimes. Once you accept that sometimes a `collect` is the easiest way out, it feels okay at the end of the day.

Exactly. See how Firefox shoved the borderless tabs down everyone's throat. The same playbook really.

Didn't expect the last bit (Bedlam cards). These were fun.

I'm not even being cynical --- this to me reads like: Sure, we will eventually shove it down your throat whether you like it or not, so there's no need to worry for the time being!

This is more like eliminating outdated unsafe DRM. As a commenter over there suggested, you could always use "a modified executable from the Internet".

The minor thirds tuning is incidentally the same setup as chromatic button accordions (a.k.a. Bayan's)! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayan_(accordion)

The example screenshot shows Fortran. I would imagine Rust to do better than that ;)

I really miss DDD! It'd be great if there's a rewrite of it somehow with sane UI/UX. It was great when debugging pointer-heavy code, although I guess this has long gone out of fashion except for niche scenarios like DB indice

Counterpoint: even if they only give you 4 colors (red, dark green, dark blue, black), it'd be already immensely useful for note-taking. This is one of the reasons I'm still not using my Remarkable 2 much.

I second this as a recent learner. I have been learning Rust by writing some toy code over the weekends, and 9 out of 10 times when I hit a roadblock and went to my local Rust Users Group, the answer was "just wait for GAT". Turns

Disclaimer: I have been (re-)learning Rust recently through some toy projects. > Type aliases are transparent (as opposed to abstract) by default, exposing their definitions publicly. IMHO this hurts a lot because the main alternative, w

Software for these controllers are usually codegen'd from a Simulink model (or equivalent dataflow language), which contributes to the difficulty in reverse engineering.

I think it's the same reason audio is processed at 192 kHz --- basically oversampling to make anti-aliasing less of an issue.

Basically spatial oversampling at this point then.

You need a lot more than just the back-of-the-trailer view. Admittedly this could prevent someone / something being run over by the rear bumper of the trailer, but that's pretty much it. For all other cases (backup), an overhead v

Where would you install them? - Back of the day cab? You may as well look out of the window. Even then the following point applies (somewhat). - Back of the sleeper? What are you looking at, front of the dry van / reefer I guess? Hardl

If you're paranoid about data security and availability (not a bad thing IMO!), using both NAS and some kind of off-site backup would be ideal.

Not a video pro, but a counterpoint: "lossy encode, then process" is inferior to "process, then lossy encode". Reasoning: Some processing steps may amplify the noise introduced by lossy encoding. Other processing steps m

Supply and demand, yadda yadda, sure. I can accept that the observed behavior on my end is "pay up or wait". What I cannot accept is that the dealerships are pocketing all the markups.

BTW these hardware glue logic is often done with e.g. TI LittleLogic series (i.e. 74LVC1/2Gxx) where you can use a tiny package for a tiny function otherwise not integrated into big chips.

A solution has been long in place in the US for commercial vehicles. It's called IFTA. It's possible because commercial vehicles have to report their mileages to authorities frequently anyway.
