I like the left-foot jab jab jab to induce a slide while still on the power. I've read about other mixed input strategies, but that was the only one I was ever able to pull off to my satisfaction.
Much to the frustration of those of us who occasionally engage in some left-foot braking. (Though TBH in my experience it's usually more effective in FWD cars.)
If you start to look at the purpose of government as being to distribute tax dollars to themselves / campaign contributors / friends, rather than to serving the common good and the will of the people, things start to make a lot more sense. I think government can be to solution to a lot of problems IFF that government is actually responsive to voters. Here in the U.S. our political parties and politicians work quite hard to ensure this is not the case.
I apologize for lack of a link or hard data, but I read somewhere that statistically speaking it's more dangerous to be married to a police officer than to be police officer. Lines up with numerous articles on domestic violence committed by members of law enforcement.
Maybe it's a personal problem, but I struggle to communicate and investigate at the same time. I'm fine task switching, but it's one or the other. I've been on numerous incidents where an anxious manager is asking for constant updates, ensuring no work is getting done. My favorite is when they ask engineers to stop investigating in order to send a status update to the wider organization. I don't know, how about maybe the person whose sole role on the call is to manage communication, maybe that person could send the update. But I digress. Communication is important, but it's not free. Seek balance.
Stop giving them ideas! The last thing I need is for someone to figure out and monetize the correlation between my Oreo / Johnny Walker consumption rate (not together, obviously) and my job satisfaction.
* I'm hard on brakes in general, but have over 70k miles on the original pads. Regen braking reduces brake use a LOT.
* Regen does NOT bring the car to a complete stop, the brakes are blended in below something like 5 MPH. The rotors are not going to rust away, they see action every time you drive. (Some surface rust is fine and normal, EV or no.)
* EVs can be heavier than ICE cars, and most are. There are many things I dislike about Tesla, but the Model 3 is a feather weight in the category. A comparison I like to make is to the AWS Dodge Charger, which is heavier by a couple hundred pounds. I won't even talk about trucks and SUVs.
My biggest concern is that rather than comparing difficult to identify behavior against claim rates, they will penalize behavior that is easy to identify. For example, yesterday I was traveling 15 MPH over the speed limit on a multi-line highway where traffic is often traveling 10+ MPH over the limit (the limit is objectively wrong for a divided, grade separated, access controlled highway). I typically drive as far right as I can to make room for faster vehicles, but eventually got stuck behind someone camping in the left lane. When opportunity presented itself I went around them in the center lane. They expressed anger at this by encroaching into my lane to squeeze me against traffic in the right lane. There were four inches between their vehicle and my side mirror. Who is driving dangerously, and more likely to cause an accident? I would argue it's the driver who is obstructing traffic and behaving aggressively toward others on the road. But if GPS isn't accurate enough to show their lane deviation, it's a lot easier to ding me for my speed.
On my car I can assign one specific function to the left scroll wheel, like the fan speed. What I want is something like the experience of using Windows without a mouse. I should be able to navigate the entire UI without touching the screen.
Touchscreen controls are the feature on my Tesla I dislike most. Try poking a small icon an arms length away while bouncing over typical Midwest roads and you'll see that it's impossible to do while keeping your eyes on the road. Physical controls would be fantastic, but at the very least they could:
* Radically improve the ability to control the car with the scroll wheels on the steering wheel.
I don't mean assigning certain functions to the buttons, I mean having a cursor I could glance at, then put my eyes back on the road while I click right twice, up once, click again and then scroll to change whatever.
* For the love of all that is holy, ANCHOR controls to the top or bottom of the screen where you can brace your hand on the bezel while trying to poke the buttons. Pretty much the opposite of the fan control that is right in the center of the screen.
In local parlance where I reside the meaning is quite clear. I can't speak for your part of the world, but I suggest asking the women in your life how they feel about the term.
I agree with everything you said. It's played for laughs, but it's a misogynistic joke about men having all the power and women having all the responsibility for child rearing. We can do better.
This doesn't answer your question about newer consoles, but a brief glance at ebay turned up plenty of results for Wii systems with the balance board and game.
I find it especially disingenuous when either party complains about 3rd party spoilers. Of course they could solve that by endorsing something other than FPTP, like IRV. But it's much easier to insulate policy from politics when you can just extort your voters.
I own a Tesla Model 3 Performance. I run non-EV specific tires, and I burn through them. Some claim weight is the issue, but at roughly 4,000 lbs the Model 3 isn't significantly heavier than at least some of its ICE competitors (to pick one of the worst offenders, the AWD Charger is heavier). I'm pretty confident the real cause is the power, power delivery, and my driving habits. Abusing sticky tires has always been expensive, it hasn't always been so easy to do.
The way I like to think about is this:
If I see a maniac looming in my rearview mirror, where do I want that driver to be? Surely not bottled up behind me, where they can cause all kinds of trouble. I want them out in front of me, where I can keep an eye on them and where I control the distance between us. Furthermore, I would like to put this nutjob in front of me as quickly and as cleanly as possible. Fortunately they are often happy to zip by on my left if I give them the slightest encouragement: Room to do so.
Unpopular opinion: People fly by on the right because someone else is camping in the left lane. The disclaimer is that with too much congestion the whole thing breaks down, and some people are determined to drive like idiots regardless, but it's worth examing why the right lane is open when the left lane isn't.
This varies a lot from area to area, but I agree that dogs can be a serious problem. I went hiking in Montana last year, and saw a LOT of dogs on the trails that were not leashed. They were well trained, not aggressive and minded their own business. In contrast, a lot of dog owners near me have zero control of their dogs, and don't seem to understand that they have any responsibility. I have had numerous run ins on the street or in public parks where I end up standing between my kids and an aggressive, unleashed, uncontrolled dog. Its owners call to it pitifully from twenty yards away while it tries to dodge around me to eat one of my kids. I've always dismissed the concealed-carry set as a bunch of LARPers, but man, this shit is out of control.
One thing that drives me crazy is the current trend of never calling a game "done". It's one thing to ship bug fixes, but I'm talking about a constant stream of updates that add elements to the game, change the rules, change the balance, etc. I blame Minecraft for starting the trend, but Among Us and Polytopia come to mind as additional recent examples. It's weird when I start playing a game at, say, v1.6, really like it, then suddenly it can't be had anywhere because v1.7 is a different game.
This is an interesting idea. I assume that while the protected material would be obvious in some case, in many it would not. Would the tool have to be able to identify (and properly attribute) copyrighted material in its output?
In my experience few things sap developer motivation quite the same way as being forced to support, but not allowed to fix(!), a low quality product. The business rationalization makes a certain sort of sense. If we burn, say, 4 hours a week manually cleaning up after bug X, but it would take 80 hours to fix it, maybe the return on investment doesn't compete well against other initiatives this quarter. But in my experience, it often sends a message that we don't care about our users or our products. That isn't something engineers can be proud of at the end of the day, and it makes it difficult to care about your work. This can obviously be overdone in the other direction as well, but I often find the analysis to be penny wise but pound foolish.
I would also argue that if the retailer chooses the third party provider, there is no functional difference. If I, as a customer, can choose the carrier, I can make a decision that weighs price, experience, etc. If the retailer chooses, I assume they are choosing based on cost and bear full responsibility for resulting poor experience.
