It has a longer bed than the shortest bed option of the F-150, but shorter than the other two options. It's about a foot narrower than all of then though.

Suburban married couples with two children who have a powerboat, bumper-pull camper, and/or like outdoor recreation. That is, mostly the same people who already buy four-door pickups with 5.5 foot beds. It could also be good for around

Doing so would lose out on a large amount of regen though. If you are putting electric motors on the trailer axles anyways to capture the energy which would normally be turned into heat in the trailer brakes, then you may as well also drive

Yes, the web of subsidy is wide and complex, but not all subsidies are for the same reason. For example, the fructose corn syrup subsidies exist, as far as I can tell, in order to on-shore agricultural profits and ensure sufficient slack in

Care must be taken when evaluating those statistics because all the ones I've seen are done only in dollar terms and entirely discount the economic beneficiaries of the movement of people and goods. For example, consider a paved rural

When travelling long distances it's also important to derate the range for safety and comfort. For example, it's well known that EV range decreases by 20-30% in cold weather and a recent study is claiming about the same loss in ho

The wrapper was named "gut". I don't recall all the details so the names below are approximate. It wrapped the git command and added project-specific options (like --first-parent) to existing git commands, introduced new ones

On a previous team we did create a wrapper command around git which did the parent-child branch tracking and added some convenience commands. On my current team we don't and it's OK because conflicting changes are rare so merging

I love stacked PRs (though I prefer to call them "cascaded MRs" or similar because I find it easier to explain how they work to people that way). You've covered the major pros at a high level, but I think the details matter.

Your suggestion comes after the changes are merged. That is, you wouldn't normally merge anything to master without having it reviewed. Stacked PRs is _how_ you can break up your changes into small components to merge more quickly and

It sounds like the OP might be using a rebase workflow. Such a workflow creates many repetitive conflicts because there is no merge commit to record the resolution point. Using a rebase workflow with stacked/cascaded PRs is an anti-pat

Station wagons died in North America mostly due to fuel economy standards, just like all the other full-size sedans. They still exist in Europe/UK (as "Estate Cars") where the fuel economy standards, vehicle and fuel taxation

LCOE calculated for intermittent sources (solar, wind) isn't really comparable with LCOE calculated for dispatchable or baseload sources (hydro, gas, coal, nuclear) though. LCOE is (lifetime costs)/(lifetime generation), but the v

I presume by "renewable" you really mean solar and wind. Hydro is generally pretty cheap, but also mostly tapped out. With that in mind, renewables are often more expensive for consumers due to a combination of a few factors: 1. T

I think it's the opposite. The suburban F-150 user is the perfect market for this EV pickup with such a low range and it is obviously targeted there. Most of the pickup trucks in the Lightning form factor (four door, short box, half to

More specifically, when it comes to cargo on highways, weight almost doesn't matter at all with respect to fuel economy. Adding weight to the bed has nearly zero aerodynamic penalty and so doesn't change mileage much at all as lon

I'd also stop working, though instead of working on a moonshot I'd go camping, work on my garden, and spend long days playing games with friends and family. There is a qualitative difference between needing to spend 40+ hours a we

The problem is that the choice presented is not, and will never be, "planet non-destroying iphone" versus "planet destroying iphone". The choice is between "iphone" or "nothing". Understandably people

I don't believe what this woman is complaining about is relevant to the original article. Since time immemorial there have always been a subset of men who never settle down and "grow up". Perhaps the proportion has increased

There are at least three ways to solve your problem: 1. Use fcc_clear=yes to not encrypt the copy in your sent folder 2. Use GPG's encrypt-to in your GPG configuration: https://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual&#x

If you find you have trouble remembering two layouts then I would suggest using a specialized ergonomic keyboard with a non-QWERTY layout for most of your typing and leave all the normal slab keyboards and laptops as QWERTY. For much the sa

You might try http://liberomnia.org/wiki/Computer/The_Mill.en.html for an overview, though the animations in the videos do make it significantly easier to achieve an intuitive understanding in many cases.

The article I wrote was really just documenting all I had learned while researching distributed bug trackers and, when I didn't find any existing distributed bug trackers I liked, writing one myself[0]. I certainly don't dismiss d

In 2013 I did something similar. Unfortunately the state of the art didn't seem to advance any between 2008 and 2013. Perhaps the third time distributed bug tracking flares up in the global discussion it'll stick around and make p

If it becomes too much work for a single person then you just find a second person. When that becomes too much you can find an entire team of people, all contacted by a single email address. This is how customer support is done. Everybody i

Right, the standard allows it, but GCC hasn't yet extended its type checker to give you the help you'd want in this case. The warning effectively says "The standard says this is fine, but in most cases this isn't what yo

This very much sounds like a type inference with hinting version of the C type system with a minor extension. It also seems to have many parallels to the Objective C type system with id, but again in a type inference variant. The three rule

No, content you upload is not kept in your local cache at all. That would open you to the threat of being singled out as the uploader. Instead your node is no more statistically likely to have any portion of the objects you've uploaded

Sounds like you just want to use a distributed bug tracker. There are several to choose from: http://travisbrown.ca/blog.html#TooMuchAboutDistributedBugTr...
