It's not about whether it's full, but whether you can successfully make it to a faraway destination in a reasonable amount of time (& not adding hours & days to the trip). It's not really a "debate", just a

It's not really a comparable concern in gas cars, though. Range matters a lot more in EV because the charging stations are much rarer than gas stations. If you lose 15% range in a gas car, ok, you have to get off one exit earlier to re

The "why" can be so important... like you said, I can read the code, but I can't always divine the original author's intents... Anecdote: I once (well, many times, but especially this one time) inherited a completely und

What is a "journal" in this case? I meant more from a public health perspective, like how CDCs and other agencies are able to collect enough population-level data to work on regional/national health issues (COVID or otherwise

FWIW, I didn't mean to make it a moral argument. I'm just not personally interested in hunting and fishing, but I don't have an ethical problem with them if done in moderation. Nature is violent and ruthless... a well-aimed s

How do we ever manage medical issues at a regional or national level, then?

It's not a binary thing... even just a few scattered "why we did it this way" comments in the code base is a lot better than no documentation at all.

Wow, you've had a very different experience, and apparently met very different people (or at least saw different sides of them). I have never discussed those things with my friends or acquaintances anywhere in the world, across many co

Might be a regionalism, but here in Oregon, we don't signal going in, but signal right before we intend to exit. That way the next incoming driver can enter the roundabout and keep traffic flowing. We have a LOT of roundabouts though,

You can't just add a phone line option from your ISP? It's all VOIP these days and sometimes it's actually cheaper to get it bundled (if you have a cable modem) than without. Fiber and DSL usually offer it too. It'll be

Next, typically. It has enough abstractions of its own that it's best (at least at first) to use it without any additional state management or fetching libs. The entire React ecosystem is a hack on top of a hack. But Next is most popul

Machine translations aren't all made equal though. The LLM ones, especially ChatGPT, are many times better than older systems. They are better writers and translators (of major common languages) than most humans I know... by far.

I think Google Translate has implemented some similar ML too, but you can't really prompt it and specify context the way you can with a chatbot. I'll usually translate it with chatgpt and then run the result backward through Googl

Use chatgpt or deepl. They're much better than Google Translate, especially if you specify the context.

I've used Firefox for a few months now and it's generally fine, but noticeably slow and janky compared to Chrome. Several websites just didn't work right and required Chrome. The dev tools seem unreliable, with the network ta

Well, there's other benefits to home solar (but I'm biased because I used to work in that industry). Some people like the idea of owning their own system and offsetting their personal usage. If you get a battery with it, it can he

Look into community solar: https://www.energy.gov/eere/solar/community-solar-basics Or virtual power plants. Or at bigger scales, you can invest in commercial solar companies or engage in carbon trading. It's
