Thanks to the current administration and the government of California's program to manufacture and sell Insulin at cost, the preexisting monopoly is forced to lower their prices. They are not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts.
Limited natural resources shouldn't be free for industrial exploitation. Unfortunately, money is the best mechanism for incorporating these concerns into a product.
The problem with renting is that it's so expensive that it's hard to stop renting. How, in this market, do you save enough to buy when you can't afford to pay less rent? Most people are being squeezed between a rock and a hard place.
NACS standard is the biggest thing. It's got the best infrastructure, so it's good for consumers (lots of places to charge quickly), good for manufacturers (can sell cars with simple charging solutions), and good for Tesla (able to sell electricity at a premium).
One of those studies that seems obvious in retrospect, but it's interesting that it appears to be independent of your night time light exposure and sleep quality.
Encapsulation vs decomposition is a recursive problem. It can happen at any complexity scale. The trick, I think, is to find the level between the two that works for your project. Can you decompose your project into small, independent, testable units? Can a single unit be tested in isolation from all the others? One person will tell you that's a fragmented system while another person will tell you that all your software components are nicely encapsulated. It depends on your perspective and your needs.
P.S. in any case, a robust interface specification is a prerequisite to good engineering.
Plenty of things get lost on the ISS. There is an entire team dedicated to trying to keep track of all the tools and equipment as they move around the station. One of the big selling points of the Astrobee robots on the ISS is that they may be able to search for lost tools without consuming astronaut time.
What is the long-term potential supposed to be? Is Mastodon supposed to replace Twitter, or is it supposed to enhance the lives of people? I'm a member of several small forums that just don't grow. It's the same people each day, and that's fine. It's much closer to how human interactions work in real life. You don't join an ever-expanding pool of people where you strive to maximize your connections (or at least, I don't). Instead, you probably have a relatively small group of people that you hang out with more often.
I think this is largely moot because just about every social media site will either allow you to select your communities or algorithms will filter for you based on your behavior.
I like it quite a lot while reading, but it's a holy hell to keep reaching between shift and underscore. Besides, what do you call an iterator variable? I? i? Idx? Index? Iterator_Index?
A lot of them provide normal-ish C programming environment. Files, network sockets, etc. the virtual memory space isolation is a huge feature that's hard to certify, so Green Hills is leading the field there.
After living in places like Houston and Palo Alto (polar opposites!) This is not remotely a surprise. Heavy division on race and class lines is obvious everywhere. It's part of the immense polarization in the US. Even people living a few miles from each other can exist in totally different universes.
Face to face interaction is still undeniably powerful, especially if persuasion is necessary. Even phone calls are more powerful than most people might realize. I wouldn't expect face to face meetings to ever really go away.
Eh. My Canon G3060 ink tank printer is great. No cartridges, no DRM, CUPS and scanner support on Linux out of the box. Only downsides are no document feeder for scanning and no double-sided printing (really Canon?). Other good printers do still exist.
That probably comes down to how the infrastructure is built out. A lot of companies are selling EV systems that can be installed in a pre-existing parking lot. A gas station requires installing large underground tanks, so it's not much extra effort to throw the data wires. In order to convince someone a business to install an EV charger, every little bit of effort counts.
I think this kind of user abuse is intentional. If people put the time and energy, and emotional effort into understanding a piece of software, they're less likely to jump ship.
Absolutely the case. I moved to Texas for work and quickly moved back home to California. Simply reminding myself that I was so far away from any nice nature was pretty distressing.
I bought a couple of these boards a year ago but never found a use for them. Linux was still a work in progress, and as a plain microcontroller it seemed less appealing than contemporary options like an RP2040. The heterogenous cores feels like a challenge to architect correctly in a real time environment.
Vertical is the answer. California needs to get over it's aversion to high rise apartments and invest a in flourishing downtown residential system instead of relying on a 1950's mindset of home ownership.
The current system is deliberately exclusionary and self preserving, but it will also fail the state in the long run. That, sadly, seems fine to many people.
Ah, and this app isn't available on my up to date Pixel 7 Pro. Google software not being released for Google software, running on Google hardware, is no shortage of ironic to me.
Async is a huge wart and I try and avoid it wherever possible. It's simply not useful in a lot of cases that I encounter. However, if a library uses async, you have little choice but to make your whole project async. This adds to its horrible reputation.
