Thoughts on range extenders for commuter cars?
  • All the extra hardware required to make that work and the time and cost of installing and removing the extra battery pack means it'll probably never cost less than just hiring a longer range vehicle for the weekend. People who really need the range wouldn't bother, they'd just buy a longer range vehicle in the first place. Or one with the extra battery pre-installed and never remove it.

    Not to mention that battery prices are continuing to plummet - we're quickly approaching the point where cars are just coming with as many batteries as they can easily fit. Short range EVs are likely not going to be a thing in a few more years when it doesn't cost significantly more to make a longer range EV.

  • I met a traveller from an antique land,
    Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
    Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
    Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
    And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
    Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
    Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
    The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
    And on the pedestal, these words appear:
    My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
    Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
    Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
    Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
    The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

    - Percy Shelley

  • 93% of Paint Splatters are Valid Perl Programs | Colin McMillen

    > In this paper, we aim to answer a long-standing open problem in the programming languages community: is it possible to smear paint on the wall without creating valid Perl? > > We answer this question in the affirmative: it is possible to smear paint on the wall without creating a valid Perl program. We employ an empirical approach, using optical character recognition (OCR) software, which finds that merely 93% of paint splatters parse as valid Perl. We analyze the properties of paint-splatter Perl programs, and present seven examples of paint splatters which are not valid Perl programs.
