<p>Ah I thought it was specifically about germany.<p>> I never saw one in a TV show<p>Now that you mention it, I think I only remember one from the simpsons.<p>But based on [1] my mom really was an outlier for getting a fax machine. Mabye we had enough contact with beurocracy to make it work it. :D Even in 1995 only 1.5 million out of 36 million (4,1%) households had one. (Although I remember it from ~2000, so too bad the data doesn't go there.)<p>For the US with 14 million out of 98 million households (14%) fax machines were more popular for ordinary households than in germany. (But home-use was never the issue in the fax debate anyway, just fun facts :) )<p>[1] <a href="https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/publications/reports/1997/01/access-to-and-use-of-information-technologies-at-home_g17a1b38/237222208123.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/publications/report...</a></p>

<p>> They were never common.<p>Are you sure about that? I remember we had one at home when I grew up, so I assumed they were very common at the time. (And it's not like we had this crazy business driven family use of it.)</p>

<p>The resulting value can be anything you want. You can turn a list into a tree, or another list.<p>Bad example:<p><pre><code>    reduce(lambda x,y: x+x.extend([y+2,y*2,y**2]), [1,2,3,4], [])
</code></pre>
Reduces the list to another list three times as long.<p>It's a reduction in the sense of a transformation (also often seen in complexity theory), not in the "this makes this smaller" everyday usage that I think about first.</p>

<p>I mean I never drove Wolfsburg -> Poznań -> Vienna, and I would probably get a bit better milage if I drove an average of 70. However, even when my usage gets close to that, I still don't get down to the optimistic 17kWh/100km i put down.<p>> ordinary cars can get to 13kWh/100km<p>Unfortunately I don't have such a car. :)<p>> which ain't that far from 7.5 you mention<p>I'd say that needing a 30kWh battery for 400km range vs 52kWh is a significant difference, but that'd be opinionated hair-splitting. 13 is much better and much closer to 7.5 than what my car can do.</p>

<p>Based on the battery of 55kWh this is about efficiency, not packing more batteries:<p>> 6.48 kWh/100 km<p>At a constant 68km/h in perfect conditions (no up/down) and no additional consumers of energy (climate control).<p>Even on a real route they apparently got some useful stats with 7.51 kWh/100km including charging. Cool.<p>My car is around 17-20 kWh/100km at a 64kWh battery for a medium cost car in germany. I wish it was even close to that efficiency.</p>

<p>> Prior to this change most Rust developers would never have cause to ever use `!` for any reason.<p>As a type.<p>"!" is in the most basic example nearly every rust developer has seen:<p><pre><code>    println!("Hello, World!");
</code></pre>
Unless you specifically watched a presentation or read a blog post about the never type, you probably haven't seen it as a type.<p>If the average (and nearly all new) rust developers encounters "fn bla(blub: i64) -> !" I suspect they will mostly go "huh??" (or wonder what kind of weird macro that is) until it becomes common to encounter early and gets it's own early entry in the rust book.<p>Compared to reading "fn blub(bla: &str) -> Never", which seems rather straight forward imo. However, "Never" might be the name of some actual Struct or Enum in various codebases.</p>

<p>I wonder how many people can reliably identify a Mercator projection when they see a map. My personal belief is that many people think map they have seen are Mercator projections when they are not and that "Mercator" is for most a synonym with "the normal world map I am used to", even though it (likely?) isn't.<p>Based on some quick search the atlas I used in school in Germany mostly used winkel-tripel projection (or the eckert IV). Does my memory remember the map accurate enough to determine that now? Hell no.</p>
