@TCroydon that will come in time, particularly as adoption ramps in a big way like it is now. Good news is, battery health over 8-10 years is exceeding predictions and that too will only improve.

@codinghorror
@janoc200 you're repeating a few really incorrect myths here, please watch .. it's also in the blog post but I assume you didn't read that, either. https://t.co/ZRrb2ZydV2

@codinghorror
@ToughToWatch yes that is literally embedded in the blog post as a video

@aaron_mciver @EricRichards22 Do you return in the same day? Any trip with an overnight is fairly easy to plan. And the Niro has 250 mile range so 120 miles round trip, no overnight, is possible.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rogerlipscombe Not the right comparison. An Ev is 5 lines of code, whereas a gas powered car is 10 or 20. It’s fundamentally simpler, less code.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@eviltrout @msl0t That’s the thing about electricity, we have tons of flexible infra and more every day.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@eviltrout @msl0t Simply running literal plain vanilla extension cords to 10% of the spots would give people about 20 miles of charge time per night. Or charge at work. You won’t need 400 spots powered overnight.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mempko On the plus side things could get REALLY good with batteries that significantly improve over lithium ion

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@EricRichards22 Things are changing rapidly!

@codinghorror
@EricRichards22 250 miles with the Niro, I expect 300 miles within a few years. Who drives 300 miles every day? Hell who drives 250 miles every day?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@andurq yeah it is super unlikely that China's gonna honor any patent encumbrance, *ever*

@ratkins $100k is just so much more than I ever ever EVER want to spend on a car. Model Y maybe.

@spies_please that is a.. remarkably accurate description..

@codinghorror
@jwz @migueldeicaza it my absolute favorite orwellian phrase of the last 5 years, without question

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@masonhugus @netflix they're fairly standalone seasons, basically different storylines entirely with only one shared character, so I would not worry about it

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza is it (dramatic pause) COORDINATED INAUTHENTIC BEHAVIOR? https://t.co/PxzXYQ0Psm

@codinghorror
@KristyT a Popeyes opened near us in a closed KFC and I was sooo happy. That KFC, I went to it two times in the drive thru when they said "sorry we're out of chicken". I was like.. you're KFC.. and you're out of .. CHICKEN 🤯

@nicksahler @Pinboard ditto for Singapore, which is basically.. one giant city. Quite futuristic and ultra first world.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Pinboard I dunno, I think this misses the fact that the US is a really massive country compared to Hong Kong. Change is easier in a small insular area. https://t.co/n5vaPBtu5r

@_cgp @bernaferrari feel free to refer to https://t.co/QpiBf849bw which describes this in greater detail with more examples

@codinghorror
@Ragnarork that's how it was at Stack Overflow and how it is at Discourse. Salaries are 90% of what we spend, if not actually *more*.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@paulg what exactly is there to spend it on? Unless you're not talking about software businesses, it's all salaries of software engineers. So this *effectively* means "don't hire". Just say that.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@discourse @StackOverflow There was also a game music radio channel attached to the website https://t.co/FLhSSFOqbM

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@paulg most obviously corrosive to actual democracy in the US, is what I meant.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@paulg there's a book about this, and it's pretty good, but it's already (lol) out of date https://t.co/AAXFd59d69

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@paulg we live under unarguably the worst president in the last 200 years. These are .. not normal times.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Pinboard mobile also makes this much worse since it's hard to type a lot, and longer = better

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@FiloSottile I suppose that is more accurate, but linking to another drive "page" would also be fine.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life good ol' not a number

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@elmuertecom there is already suicide linux, surprised nobody mentioned it by now

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jwz I mean look at how specific this is: https://t.co/Ro2CzpHf8C "Typically, exploits that target TTF and OTF vulnerabilities target drivers" which is massively OS specific

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jwz SVG is a better argument here, and yeah, SVG gets hella weird.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jwz I disagree that they are "scripts" in any of the sense that JavaScript is, though. I agree that there can be weird low-level "oops C++ did it again" exploits, but that's also true of bitmaps and JPGs.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jwz I mean *sort of*. But mostly it seems like a convenient cover story for basic font DRM.

@chx Counterpoint: how long until NiMh was replaced by Lithium Ion? I count about one decade? That’s not that long.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life Yeah I barely share mine at all, but it’s becoming a problem, such that I need to change numbers. But most phone numbers are re-used these days and come with their own “history”

Yay for the season 3 finale, finally some well earned payoff for 25 episodes of relentless darkness

@ChristerEricson @ClimateBen @ID_AA_Carmack believe me, I am doing absolutely everything I can to ensure Trump doesn't get re-elected. What a travesty.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ClimateBen @ID_AA_Carmack @ChristerEricson End of the world through catastrophic climate change, *not* unpleasant, someone else on Twitter pointing out that you may not be getting the actionable results you desire from your tweets, *is* unpleasant. Gotcha.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ClimateBen @ID_AA_Carmack @ChristerEricson Also remember, I am not disputing in any way that the situation is serious, for everyone, though it will disproportionately the poor nations .. The solution (if there is one) is inciting and encouraging people to take action.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ClimateBen @ID_AA_Carmack @ChristerEricson It isn't rude to point out that your extreme negativity may be contributing to depression and/or suicide rather than *action*. If you think that is "rude", maybe reconsider what your goals and objectives are.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chetfaliszek @DOTA2 Oh my bad it was $30m so, comparable then.

@ClimateBen @ID_AA_Carmack @ChristerEricson Did you? I don't think "end capitalism, kthxbye" is an actionable list for the average person.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ChristerEricson @ClimateBen @ID_AA_Carmack Then make a dramatic list of 10 things people can do to help!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jaredchung I honestly don't understand? My kids are weird.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ClimateBen @ID_AA_Carmack @ChristerEricson If you actually believed that, rather than just mindlessly spreading misery, you'd share steps of things people can actually do to help.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ID_AA_Carmack @ClimateBen @ChristerEricson It is an annoying aspect of Twitter, the relentless negativity. Things are serious without a doubt but extreme stuff like this just feeds others’ depression and is ultimately irresponsible.

@paulg The scooters, such as the genre defining Xiaomi M365, are down in price from $600 (in 2017) to just over $300 today. Not opposed to rental at all but also like to buy. These look really nice!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@notwaldorf Cables. Cables are the future!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@paulg Having just bought the wildly popular Xiaomi M365 (designed in 2017) this looks legitimately great. But you can only rent it, not buy them?
