I created a Google developer account with a separate email due to warnings like this. Then Google closed it because I left it idle too long and I didn't get the warning email. Sometimes you can't win.

Thanks for writing this up! I have a similar setup, largely based on your earlier post. I'm looking forward to trying out some of these ideas.

Do 16Hz pulses make much difference? I found conflicting information and haven't yet tried it myself.

What do you use to get the data into influxdb? I'm using collectd but it doesn't gather a lot of useful info.

Here's a very good video to help visualise what happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW6lAwLy_Os

Hardly "almost the same place", it's ~6500km away.

Depends on the car, mine (Polestar 2) uses regen braking regardless of whether one-pedal driving is selected. The consensus seems to be that coasting is slightly more efficient but barely enough to make a difference.

I do the same thing. I wondered why I hadn't received any breach notifications for a long time, I don't remember seeing a notification of this change.

In my previous job writing a naval combat system (not Aegis) I figured that I couldn't prevent warships from existing, but I could make the combat system better, safer, easier and less error-prone to use which would ultimately reduce the likelihood of people being killed inadvertently. But I totally respect people who choose not to work in defence.

Wall-mounted monitor rails, mounted horizontally. Normally I work with two 24" monitors side-by-side, but I can slide them apart if the kids need to use a monitor while I'm working.

In Australia we would never refer to pizzas as pies. Is this a US-only thing or does it happen elsewhere?

Rio Tinto | Senior Software Engineer | Perth, Australia | Full-time | Onsite/Hybrid

We're seeking experienced software engineers to expand our team for ongoing development of Rio Tinto's Autonomous Drilling System. Our machine automation software controls heavy equipment on a mine site thousands of kilometers from our operators.

Experience with complex applications written in C++ is a must. Python, Rust, Linux, PostgreSQL, GPS, networking and machine automation experience would all be relevant.

Much like ugg boots are the name of the boots. Oh wait. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-05-05/trademark-battle-for-...

I still think it's a strange phrase. To me a black swan is a normal swan.

As an Australian I will often use en-GB due to decades of Microsoft trying to force American spelling on us.

As much as I would like one, $108 to ship a $104 keyboard really kills the deal.

That was my first thought as well.

Redirects to the pizzahut.com.au main page for me.

There was a very similar promotion running in Australia last year where you could get free return flights for buying six bottles of wine (minimum cost around $68). They also required sending in paper forms and nominating three destinations and three sets of dates. I went to Bali on that deal.

From many years developing safety critical software, I reckon culture and processes are more important than certification. There are various standards for developing safety systems in other industries (defence, aviation, etc) and these standards exist for a reason. Have Uber applied any standard for their automation software? Or equivalent development processes? "Move fast and break things" is fine for an app, but not fine for controlling a vehicle.

I think it's negative, and describing them as "an Indian Upstart" sounds a bit racist to me.

Oxford dictionary definition #1: (derogatory) A person who has risen suddenly in rank or importance, especially one who behaves arrogantly.

This seems like a very useful tool, and it provides useful information on our repository.

But in RHEL7 it gives this error: error: couldn't open Git repository: git rev-parse failed: Unknown option: -C

I assume it requires a later version of git.

If I type "lync", the default option is to run Skype for Business (Lync's successor).

If I type "skype" the default option is to install Skype for Business, even though I already have it installed.

It is very unintuitive. It is as bad as the search in Jira/Confluence, and that's saying something.

Likewise Perth has the same error. "The warmest time of year is generally mid-February where highs are regularly around 63.7°F (17.6°C)". The text in Overall Perth Travel Experience by Season is also wrong.

I like the concept though.

I think the second event you're thinking of was a Malaysia Airlines flight from Perth to Kuala Lumpur. https://www.atsb.gov.au/publications/investigation_reports/2...

If I remember correctly, my university constructed a new building for the architecture department but it was so impractical they gave it to computer science instead.
