Swappable batteries are a giant headache, charging is better.
Batteries are lasting longer and longer, LFP are already able to last 20 times as long as typical lithium ion, while using less cobalt.
Modern EV tech is still relatively new. It took combustion cars a long time to get to present day longevity and efficiency. EVs will catch up.
Haven't seen anyone mention Alacritty yet, that's my favorite terminal emulator.
Alt-p? I use Mod+d.
Sway is bae.
I was older than 12 when the books came out.
I disagree. In my experience having a lack of restrooms just makes the place nasty and hostile. You can still visit places with plenty of public restrooms, and it's so much nicer. Every light rail station in Seattle smells like a toilet, the ones in Vancouver are way nicer. Removing restrooms doesn't remove the need to pee.
What about all the HD Zelda remakes?
You could say that about basically anything: it only takes one or two passionate people to [write a great novel, build a house, invent something new, prove a scientific theory, advance the field of mathematics] in a matter of weeks.
Those are rare and impressive exceptions, it's not so simple in practice. The Mythical Man Month has some good insight on this. Big projects cost big money, and don't necessarily get the job done faster.
Yes
The cost of hiring a team of programmers the size of a large class can easily cost millions of dollars. There's a long history of school projects accomplishing things in computer science that would have cost millions. Look at BSD for example.
I got a PineTab2 for under $200 that has treated me well. No e-ink or symbolic buttons, but it runs Linux and the included cover has a keyboard.
I usually use it as a dummy terminal with a Bluetooth mechanical keyboard.
If you don't mind me asking, what made you switch from software development to transportation?
That's a great explanation, thank you!
There's a couple thousand in China for Nio, but they haven't really taken off anywhere else.
By contrast there's over 1.8 million public EV chargers in China alone.
Batteries are heavy, which makes them hard to move and requires secure attachment to the vehicle. EV chargers have no moving parts and require much less maintenance.
