Got any examples? I haven't seen any other copies of Australias data encryption law, which is the only other one I'm familiar with
Re:Led by Tesla, EVs drive chip industry's shift beyond silicon on Monday September 06, 2021 @06:30AM (#28432299)
There is still plenty to be gained from squeezing that last 1% out. Tesla is probably cell limited right now, so if your car is 1pct more efficient you can pull less cells in it and mthen make 1pct more vehicles.

Yeah, I feel this a lot too. I get a lot of my inspiration from other people. Video calls don't quite work. Now it's been 18 months since I've been in the office, and I'm just some who does what their told and that's it. Still very thankful to be employed and healthy, but if I got fired tomorrow it would be a relief
I really want to buy a Honda ebut, the range is so underwhelming. A Zoe isn't that much bigger, but gets 400km. It would be out only car do I don't think I want to take the risk on something low range
This package is still one of my favorite things on the internet, ever. I used to work on python packages at a car company and it hits all the right spots to make me giggle uncontrollably.
There are plenty of places around the world with western style toilets but flushed with rainwater or recycled washing machine/shower water instead. That seems like a fairly sustainable solution that already works?
Re:Why have cameras and lenses become so expensive? on Tuesday June 01, 2021 @12:33AM (#27350758)
Cheapest ones (new) around me are 2k. For the people buying it, yeah, it's a lot of upper class people, but also a lot of people using an ebike to replace a second car, which works out way cheaper in insurance/fuel/maintenance/etc.
Re:Nationwide tells 13,000 staff to 'work anywhere' on Thursday March 25, 2021 @07:36AM (#26578958)
This may or may not be true in all locales, but one issue described to me is that having a legal entity in one jurisdiction with employees in another jurisdiction can expose the company to be also tax liable in the workers jurisdiction
Yeah, I think java had the right idea, but the ergonomics didn't turn out great, so they didn't get the buy in they'd hoped for. Having both checked and unchecked exceptions (ie, NPEs) meant it doesn't offer the same safety guarantees as something like rust does. The implementation of exceptions can also have some implications for the runtime, whereas the enum method of error handling allows you to run in very minimal environments and easily see what's going on. (Exceptions could be implemented this way under the hood, but they often aren't)
The "?" operator doesn't turn them into exceptions, it's just a "return-early-if-error" shortcut. The main difference being that the caller still has to handle the error of a function using "?". (even if it's by punting further up the call stack with more "?", which you could argue is exactly how exceptions work, but it is at least explicit in what functions can fail and which don't)
Re:Shift to Remote Work Based on 7k HN Who Is Hiring Posts on Thursday January 28, 2021 @04:00PM (#25949118)
We already have that where I live. It's an espresso machine in a van, they drive by offices in the morning and then stop and parks and other communal spots during lunch

Mostly they get taken across country borders and broken down into parts. Not a lot of traceability left after that.
Re:Rust for Windows on Thursday January 21, 2021 @06:13PM (#25865936)
It's more of an example than a resource, but the 'git2' crate that wraps libgit2 does a good job of providing a nice rust interface over a C library.
Re:Experimenting on My Hearing Loss on Tuesday December 29, 2020 @11:55PM (#25578701)
Anyone got any good ideas for the reverse problem? I can still hear 20khz at 30 years old, which is the standard switching frequency for most power supplies. Induction cooktops drive me up the wall, I can't stand to be close to one when its on. (And yes, I've recorded the sound, run it through a fft, removed the lower frequencies and it still annoys me)
