I'm not an expert but i've noticed that an important aspect of a supercar is that it is mid-engine design because for that amount of handling you need all the weight centered in the vehicle. In an EV supercar I imagine both battery and engine would need to be centered.
For handling, you want the center of gravity central and low. In a petrol car, the engine is heavy and so to get that, the car needs to be mid engined. An electric car has no such constraint. The battery pack can be (and is) in a plane under the car body and so it pulls the center of gravity lower and to the center, while the motors are light and don't matter in the way a petrol engine does.
And get perfect numbers for everything but irrational numbers, for which there is no easy precise solution anyway. Would probably be faster too, since the ratios could be two integers.
Yes. I've used rational types in python. When you are doing arithmetic in the rationals, it's nice to use this and get precise answers.
I've done 300 bit precision arithmetic using gmp, calculating uniformity bounds for a crypto thing. Computing that with bounded doubles would not give me any more precision.
I would only know it's broke. When you need more precision, more bits is what you need, usually in your mantissa.
There are several dozen teams designing RISC-V implementations. And many ASICs have RISC-V cores buried in them today. With a handful of designs being open. The main barrier for ordinary people and software developers to have a proper R5 workstation is for there to be a market for such a chip. Right now the market is driven by the needs of ASICs, and that's not really what people are asking for when they say an "Open" processor.
Designing the architecture and logic is fraction of the engineering effort necessary to design and build a modern high end microprocessor.
No, they dropped the 3.5mm jack because the phone was too thin. Battery life suffers also. Thicker phone -> Thicker battery and 3.5mm jack. It's a win, win.
I don't know how to complain about companies ditching the 3.5mm jack without sounding like a Luddite.
I'm listening to your comment with my $350 Bose noise cancelling, wireless headphones, using the 3.5mm jack because farting around with Bluetooth audio is not how I like to spend my time.
And get more latency and slowdown either due to the VPN software itself or the limits at the VPN provider.
That depends. I found in Malaysia, turning the VPN on (Vyper VPN) improved things a lot. I assume there was all sort of packet inspection and badness going on.
In an untampered network, a VPN should not improve things, because the optimal routes will be taken without impediment. It only takes a few seconds to check.
It's just as bad, if not worse than the tar sands. If we are going to insist on using biofuels, do it with algae ponds out in the middle of the ocean somewhere.
You better be prepared when the algae mass becomes sentient.
The crime isn't burning hydrocarbons. It's digging them out of the ground and burning them. $1.80 extra per gallon is the cost to us when they don't use biodiesel.
Europe has this right: Any in-person transaction requires you to enter your chosen PIN.
How can I use an American credit card in Europe?
Apple pay, Google Pay, Android Pay or some other semi proprietary payment conduit seems to work in some places. Hotels will accept everything. For everything else, carry cash.

Floating point crypto = You're joking, right?
Floating point evaluation of the bounds on an integer algorithm's uniformity. It's really rather serious.
People came to America by boat. Those that missed the boat... are still in Europe. "European" and "missed the boat" are practically synonymous.
I came by United airlines, through Chicago.

I"ll never have Ferrari money....but there are plenty of us that would spring for an electric 2-seater with performance in the $60-80K range....
Yep. I have a 'super enough' 2 seater petrol car. I'd like a Tesla roadster, but it's a choice between that and a house and the house wins.

>First class airline ticket costs 20 times the average bus fare
Show me where I can get one of these $50 first class airline tickets.
Well, Iâ(TM)m reading your comment on an iPhone while sitting on the shitter and jacking my 35 centimeter dong.
A metric dong? Does it have a square cross section too?

You have to pay for BMW Assist and navigation updates too. If you don't like it don't buy the car. It's easy.
That's ok. I didn't.
I bet you use turn signals, you loser.
I stick to straight roads.

Back in the 8 bits days, EA's titles for the Apple 2 were top of line quality.
That didn't last long and we have what we have today.
On the Wii, Mariocart became unplayable with all the people playing hacked versions and cheating.
This will happen again if the platform is opened.
If you want an open platform, buy a PC or microcontroller board. There are plenty of options.
>Stuff made from plants is renewable.
It's carbon neutral too.
Only if it takes no non-plant-based energy to harvest it and refine it.
Which would be diesel fuel. You've got to make some to prime the loop.

As long as you're not trying to use Amex just pay as normal. Merchants can cope.
I happen to be a merchant to. Amex is a pain in the arse. Higher fees. Not supported in many POS devices. So yes. Avoid Amex.

Fertility awareness is in the ballpark of effectiveness as withdraw or condone use..
I want to see someone called Condon to condone condom use.
It's the only way.

Then they all have something to look forward to later in life.

The Big One is going to hit in two months.
California doesn't have big ones because it has lots of little one.
Oregon is the state with the big one looming. It's been building since the last magnitude 9 in 1700.
