<p>It's not at all harder on a technical level. Offline is the same as online with only one player. Many games boot up a server automatically when you play singleplayer.</p>

<p>> If I'm taking a long trip, the primary problem I'm solving for is "time to location" and "difficulty planning" and ICE wins, period, if charging is required mid-trip.<p>You should be able to recharge at least 200 km of range in a 20 minute stop which is probably enough until your next break. An ICE lets you cut out those breaks but you really shouldn't because breaks are good for you (and your driving).<p>Either your car or whatever you use for GPS directions already handles the planning for you. It will automatically find and route you to chargers as needed.</p>

<p>> Nobody said you could. This is a strawman.<p>Didn't mean it in that way. I meant a car with camera+lidar would realistically still slow down because of the reduced camera visibility.<p>> Tesla stans are the only ones trying to convince everyone you can only drive with cameras. Everyone else is pretty united on the usefulness of multiple inputs.<p>Ignore them. The latest Model S and X have radar again, but possibly unused right now, so they are probably going to roll that out in a refresh of the 3 and Y eventually.</p>

<p>How do you use your sense of smell to help you drive? I can't smell anything outside my car thanks to the air filter.<p>The real answer is very simple: safe drivers slow down to adapt to poor conditions (including visibility). Lidar might reduce how much it needs to slow down but I don't think it will be eliminated because you can't drive with only lidar.</p>

<p>You get used to it. I tried FSD (latest version) last winter in those conditions and it had no issues. Waymo shouldn't have any issues with it either.</p>

<p>JS and many other languages have getters so that's not always true.<p>But my point is that the reference to the function you are calling is actually its own term that needs to be considered in the order of evaluation.<p>You can also use the IIFE (immediately invoked function expression) pattern that is/was common in JS as an example:<p><pre><code>  (function() {
    // ...
  })();
</code></pre>
You can use any valid expression in place of a function name, including anything that causes observable side effects.</p>

<p>What's wrong is all of the older models they sold do not have what you experienced. They were sold FSD but their car's hardware can't run the latest software, and the older implementations required much more babysitting (aka not FSD).</p>

<p>The function reference is actually evaluated first so your preferred order is actually backwards! Consider this:<p><pre><code>  foo.bar(x)
</code></pre>
The `foo.bar` field has to be retrieved before the function can be called. It does not evaluate `x` first. That is observable with JS proxies, or you can test with code like this:<p><pre><code>  foo()(bar())</code></pre></p>

<p>Accessing the air filter on the Model 3 isn't great but yes, can do it yourself. Many people just pay someone else to do things like this though.</p>

<p>Hmm that's too bad. I have bought a few of those (different models) over the years to use as HTPCs for different family TVs. Only one had cooling issues (bad fan bearings). I avoid the extra small ones and just get the NUC-like ones.</p>

<p>Most likely something wrong with the cooler, maybe it's not making proper contact with the CPU. Should be repairable if you give it a try, but yes, the used thin clients are higher quality.</p>

<p>Tauri uses a system installed browser instead of shipping a separate separate copy with every application. That allows memory to actually be shared instead of duplicated when you have multiple apps using it, and it automatically gets security updates.</p>

<p>That's really only argument against shipping a browser with your application. For ordinary websites (or WebViews) that's not really a concern because it is shared and automatically updated.</p>

<p>I'd argue that being slow and using a ton of memory has more to do with (very) poorly optimized websites rather than blaming browsers as a whole. Sure, they'll never be as efficient as native, but people put <i>a lot</i> of work into optimizing browsers and most websites are never optimized.<p>Memory use alone is an interesting case for comparison because websites tend to have a lot more images/videos loaded than other applications. All of those PNGs and JPEGs need to be decompressed before you can paint them to the screen which makes them much larger.</p>
