Tesla's covers 70% if I remember correctly

Is that the default warranty though? My PHEV has a 10-year warranty on the battery, 3 years on the rest by default, I didn't pay for any extra coverage (Chrysler).

The fact that the battery is usually the part that has the longest warranty should tell you everything. I have never seen a warranty on an engine longer than 5 years and 100 000 km, but batteries are routinely 10+ years.

Well, it is the superior siege engine.

To any non-js dev taking this too seriously: A good half of the technologies mentioned in this meme are redundant, you only need to learn one of them (in addition to the language). It's like complaining that there are too many Linux distributions to learn: you don't, you just pick one and go with it.

In Canada it happens too often: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/police-wellness-checks-deaths-indigenous-black-1.5622320

The scenario is usually the following:

  • A person stops answering their loved one's calls or makes suicide threats to the loved one
  • The loved one calls the cops to ask them to check in on them
  • Said person answers the door with the weapon they were planning to end their life with in their hands
  • Cops see a weapon, panic and shoot

What I don't understand is why cops don't just disengage / retreat from these situations. In most cases it looks like they were proceeding as if the person had to be stopped / apprehended.

Yeah, I once discovered an artist, even bought some albums, only to notice about a year later that the place I discovered them was now blocked in my country. If I would've come a year later, I would never have bought these albums.

Yeah, good code should explain the "what" without the need for comments. Good comments explain the "why".

Lexical (rich text editor by Facebook) recently "migrated" their Github discussions to Discord... I have a question that I can see was asked on the discussion, as it appears in my search results on DDG, but I get a 404 when I try to open it. The fuckers deleted the discussions!

Of course, Discord only has poor-quality answers to that questions as it gets asked every week and maybe gets answered in a different way every time. Quality of discussion is much lower.

Signal had something good when it could simply be your default messaging app on your phone, and it'd transparently send either encrypted messages, or plain-text SMS. Now that they've removed SMS, they've just turned into a worse Whatsapp (because nobody is on it). Network effects are important in messaging apps.

So you patiently wait for your little white man signal, and as soon as it finally comes on (after 2 full cycles of the traffic lights) you start crossing only to get honked at by some lady who wants to turn right on her red light...

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.
