LFP batteries age faster when at 100% just like non LFP batteries, but since they degrade slower over time overall, and since you need occasional 100% charges for the battery management system to know what % of charge you are at, it is recommended to charge it to 100% regularly.

if you wanted to protect the life of your LFP battery, don't charge it to 100% every day, just every week or two so the BMS knows what is going on.

At this point it has gotten bad enough that I won't even view twitter links. It is ethically corrupt to give them views/money, and dangerous. Threads is a reasonable replacement if you need the fix.

It is more general than the west, it is that Good people are naive. They don't understand how many people are willing to lie and kill to get even petty gains from it. The USA is struggling with this asymmetry internally right now too. We are slowly and politely trying to prosecute people who attempted to overturn an election while they incite civil unrest and pass laws protecting themselves from prosecution

I guess we might be better off if Pol Pot had killed more smart people than he did. Maybe Trump will win and finish off the rest of us and you can be happy.

We dill die fighting though, good luck

A the top end there is a lot of coordination, big money conservatives get together at CPAC and other venues to make plans, each political party is a powerful coordinated force of elites, they are all on each other's boards, etc.

However this article did not present any evidence of any given group of elites doing this, for this reason, so...

Astrology I would mostly be sad at the money and effort wasted. Also I would expect the research would be bad and claim positive results that were wrong but popular media would spread it and the world would become a little dumber. Which does have consequences, it isn't harmless.

checks he is still not in jail after that "IF YOU COME AFTER ME I COME AFTER YOU" tweet.

No judge is or has taken Trump's witness tampering seriously.

characterizing it as an "embarrassment" is silly. Maybe if there was a group of alien civilizations that had all figured it out early on while we didn't then sure.

maybe? will they get out early? when will they go? its been years while she has been having sex living in mansions and drinking fine wine.

a guy selling cigarettes on the streets of NYC without a permit would have been choked to death in seconds. (actual thing that happened)

seems like this justice imbalance in the USA is something we can get bipartisan support for changing. lets do it yall.

I wish that US law enforcement, who likes to act all tough when dealing with helpless poor people, would instead act tough with white collar criminals. Instead of taking their fake SWAT team units into twitch streamers homes and to schools where they sit there and let kids get murdered, imagine them storming into Theranos and yanking them straight to jail, and then having a speedy trial, rather than wasting years of our tax dollars to slap them on the wrist.

Welcome to the internet?

You remember that time "The media" tried to communicate nuance, and it worked? The reason you don't is because you can't. People are not equipped to receive that.

The real issue here is industry is destroying our planet, and you nitpick the media because you can't handle the real problem. Bike shedding.

No, it doesn't. What destroys trust in climate science is coordinated attacks from conservative think thanks. You people who think its the fault of them not acting like perfect logicians are delusional. Its is propaganda (clickbait or otherwise) which actually makes things happen, not reasoned arguments. Conservatives understand this is and that is why they tend to win even when their goal are clearly bad.

Do we have russian anime lesbians doing superconductor chemistry in 2023? I'm here for it.

No, the indicated range is no maximum range under ideal conditions! Its just a mix of city and highway driving, which is better than pure highway driving.

If you did ONLY low speed city driving you would do even better!

Tesla display that but also displays highly accurate estimates of any trip you plan. To me the real party at fault with EV range in the USA is the EPA, which combines city and highway range in a single number, which inflates the highway number. Every EV that is sold advertises this inflated EPA number. Nobody cares about city range, just publish highway range, or both, like we do with gas cars.

Just people who go on road trips with 2 or more mountain bikes need this. This is not theoretical, a Model Y has its range ruined with 2 or more mountain bikes attached to the exterior. Like ~140 miles max on our trip with 4 mountain bikes. And then you tend to go to more remote areas so that makes it even worse.

So yes, our family is eagerly awaiting a 500 mile range ev

energy density hasn't really changed for 15 years, price dropped a lot though, but price drop has also paused recently. There is no telling if any progress will be made or not. Maybe! Maybe not.

Not silly at all, and that might be exactly what they do!

Real life everything still seems terrible. Prices are high, salaries are not adjusted to match, service and quality and availability of everything is worse. More things are broken and take longer to fix.

Rust sum types do not take up that much extra space, in fact often the overhead is completely compiled away. Lots of hard work to keep the wasted memory to a minimum, and they are not pointers, so there isn't an extra memory hop or anything.

Depends what you are doing, you might have 0.0 lines of unsafe, or you might be doing some custom SIMD string parsing code and its 100% unsafe. Or anywhere in between.

You can make a tagged union in any language, and that can often be useful, but when it is a standard part of the language you prevent any accidental cases of:

1. failing to check for sigils, because nobody uses a sigil when you have sum types. This would have prevented a famous exploit in SUDO a couple years back where someone forgot to check for the special negative value on an input parameter.

2. Eliminating null pointer exceptions or anything similar. You can't forget to check, you can still choose to have this kind of error, but you have to do it explicitly.

Consider something like a function to open and give you back a file handle. In many languages such a function will return a pointer to a file, or null if there is a failure, or perhaps throw an exception if there is a failure. If you neglect to check for null, or forget to handle the exception, you have a problem. With sum types, the natural thing is to return something like a Result type, which is EITHER a file, or an error. And you have to check which it is, to get the File out.

I feel the same way as you! I've seen many language ideas come and go in my career and sum types are one I feel now should be a basic requirement. I miss them in any language without them.

It isn't really a language community so interested in web server efficiency, and until recent years threading efficiently was kind of tricky with the GC scheme they used. If someone wanted Nim to rank high you could do it, but I'm not sure it is worth the effort?

I didn't see the OP personally attack "everyone else out there"

1. "easy to use once you figure out this hard thing" is another way of saying hard.

2. Some people look at those rants as toxic, and I understand that, but there is also value in expressing and seeing people's true feelings. Rust does this to people! Can we fix it?

There isn't much else. Depending on the mainstream language in question you may have a little bit stricter typing, and while you get Data Race protection that is motivated by wanting to get performance from multi-threading with less risk.

At the end of their reddit post they say "Rust feels like a MAJOR step back from Java." which I think sums up the issue:

1. Rust is supposed to be harder than Java, you get runtime performance for your efforts. If you don't need that performance, by all means do not use Rust!

2. Rust is not as mature of an ecosystem as Java yet, and so there are going to be pain points compared to stuff that has been around forever.

3. Rust is also new to the poster, while using a new language is fun on toy projects, having to use a new language in production is always frustrating, even when you aren't moving to one that is fundamentally harder

So, yeah I like Rust, but don't really disagree with their views here. Hopefully work is choosing to use Rust for a reason!
