What user space APIs have they been routinely breaking?

A graph about social changes that cuts off at 2022 is beyond worthless.

I believe the prefix got eaten by the HN title filter.

New comment by doublepg23 in "Toyota is taking the Corolla electric"

I've been in my friends Model 3 many times and it's full of "oh why didn't anyone think of this before" and EV-centric choices. There's stupid stuff too (no turning stalks or shifter) but even ignoring the software choices it's really that much better of a car.

> The software and interface are all completely fine

Perhaps whatever platform mine, my friends corolla and friends taco are on is just busted but I wish it had even 70% reliability of just working when I'm using anything software related.

It's weird to me because they apparently have the same issues across their gas cars that sell enormously well.

My friend with a '25 taco has issues with remote start, fob range and infotainment stability.

My friend with a '24 corolla has the same issues on his car.

I picked up a '25 Subaru Solterra (rebadged Toyota bz4X) for a decent lease deal and while I'm surprised how little I think about the EV parts the "car parts" are dreadful.

I really need to do a write-up on the dichotomy of EV things being good (charger works, no real battery QC issues, it's a RAV4-but-EV) while all of the shared ICE parts (anything in the software stack) are riddled with bugs or head-scratching defaults.

Overall, a fine car for me, but (as much as I do not like El*n) Telsa is so significantly beyond their offerings it's hard to overstate.

EDIT:

I forgot to add but I think the cost savings for EVs can be a wash, make sure you check the following:

1.) can't charge at home / live in an apartment.

1a.) If you do install a L2 charger at home, you will significantly reduce your cost savings.

2.) you rely on fast-chargers in any significant capacity.

3.) Double check the math on any lease, loan, etc. on new EVs vs. a beater gas car. Especially if you pay an EV tax in your state or country. (Post-COVID the $2K beater car seems to have gone extinct here...)

IME this decade a lot of people are using C# for Azure 'serverless' deployments.

I do not believe so?

Drive is a 2TB Intel 670p NVMe SSD (INTEL SSDPEKNU020TZ) with 9078 power on hours and 42TBW - so pretty spry, but not at the start of the bathtub curve either.

It was mounted as fast storage for a Bitcoin node.

Perhaps the only 'unique' thing is it is using a NVMe to PCIe adapter card (Synology M2D20) due to this being my "legacy" server that's still rocking a Broadwell chip.

claims processing - TypeScript, lots of ETL tools with Go.

medtech - .NET and TypeScript.

in my healthcare experience (claims processing, medtech) Java existed for sure but it was always as a "legacy" system they were moving away from.

This is great timing considering I'm currently dealing with FFS corruption after my OpenBSD server lost power during a storm.

Are you guys keeping up with the Java LTS releases?

Why not Kotlin?

Do they?

It felt like every dev that worked on our Java behemoth at a previous job was elated to switch to Go.

On Safari I use

- Wipr (Ad Blocker)

- 1Password (Password Manager)

- Dark Mode HN (HN dark mode hack.)

Not really sure what else I need tbh

When I switched to macOS in '22 I went to Safari from Firefox and I don't think I've run into a single compatibility issue.

The underlying tech is already compromised on the Android side.

I was saying the same to my friend.

PA has very strict two party consent wiretap laws I'm not sure this feature would clear.
