Spice it up more by letting the car owner stay inside. They can think at any time and can drive it around between innings

Much like with layoffs, AI is just an excuse, a scapegoat for bad behavior.

They were like this before AI. The robot didn’t do this to them; they did this to themselves.

Did you ever use biome? I’ve got a project that I want to migrate, and I wonder what the shift is like.

Video game director. Made Metal Gear and Death Stranding.

When he likes movies, he writes elaborate posts about all the things he liked.

When he doesn’t like movies, he says “I saw such-and-such movie.” And leaves it at that.

Fingerprinting.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

As I work on my big spaceship game (thoriumsim.com), I have the feeling that when play testing happens, I'll either

- Discover that my instincts were right and the game is fun and intuitive
- Fail miserably and give up
- Find flaws and get solid suggestions for improvement

Most likely the third.

It is a little bit more expensive than SES — $0.10 / 1000 emails for SES vs $0.35 / 1000 emails for Cloudflare.

But my volume is so low that it makes little difference.

Hopefully the price just keeps coming down too!

I’m pretty sure installers are charging an arm and a leg just for the labor. The panels are getting pretty cheap!

Lots of possible solutions in my case, including hoisting the data fetching above the suspense and error boundaries and consume the data in components, a la Relay. But that's a pain and requires a lot of WET code or a fancy compiler.

Why does React make this so hard? (coz pure functional UI)

When a component errors or suspends, it doesn't trigger any useEffects inside that component, which means the code that subscribes to updates never runs, since that code lives in a useEffect.

It needs to live in a useEffect so it can unsubscribe from changes when the component unmounts.

Currently dealing with a tricky problem in React.

Components can both fetch data and subscribe to changes to that data using a single hook. Loading fallback is handled with Suspense. If an error is thrown when fetching data, it shows an error boundary.

But, I still want the subscription!

Yeah, the cost of electricity in Utah is significantly less than other places, even in the US. That's part of the reason it's so affordable.

(For the record, it would cost about $26.85 to fill up my car at these home rate)

Next milestone: 1 gallon of gas costs more than it costs to fill my entire car at home.

I have rooftop solar, and my only home automation turns on and off the car charger when the solar output is above a certain amount. So driving basically only costs me my solar loan (which powers other stuff too)

Compare:

For a 30mpg vehicle with a similar range, it holds 9.1 gallons of gas.

$4.10/gallon here in Utah

Cost to fill from 0-100%: $37.31

Which means we've crossed the threshold where it costs less for me to fast charge than it does to fill a gas tank.

Gonna do some napkin math.

My EV's battery: 65kwh
Home electricity cost: $0.11/kwh
Cost to charge 0-100%: $7.15

Average fast charger cost: $0.55/kwh
Cost to charge: $35.75

EV efficiency: 4.2 mi/kwh
Max range: 273 mi

So, I love shopping at Costco and am happy to pay the yearly membership.

But I hate how they always try to upsell me to their Executive Membership™, which basically means I pay $65 to get 2% cash back.

Which means I would have to spend $3250 a year to break even. Which I don't.

Stop upselling me!

At some point, so long as ideas have a long enough comment period (48 hours is my minimum) you just have to hope that the people who care are paying attention.

And maybe have expectations around what retroactive changes to previous proposals look like.

This is why I’m a fan of implicit consent. Everything big requires a RFC document (which helps crystallize the ideas and plans anyway). Anyone can pull the brakes, but if nobody does, it’s considered tacit agreement and the plan moves forward unimpeded.

Velocity with a good level of slowing down.

This is why dogfooding is such a powerful product development tool. If you have to use the thing that you're building, you have more incentive to make it good.

I see it with my open source projects. I want the API design to be nice to use because I'm building the thing so *I* can use it!

Ngl, the democrats running Mitt Romney would be a better choice (in terms of policies and electability) than about half the current nomination hopefuls.
