lol if you litterally believe there will be some magical bettery revolution out of nowhere.

battery tech has been poo poo forever despite it being the biggest problem for all electronics. its not a new problem and electic cars arent gonna make it go away.

we don't need a magical revolution, they're getting better all the time, and we're getting better at not wasting that energy too

actually it does need a revolution because the only advances in electic vehicles have been around decreasing weight and minor energy efficiency advances. that poo poo still gets terrible range.

if you want to understand everything thats wrong w/ electric cars go watch the "documentary" who killed the electric car. the reality is the exact opposite of the conclusions in the film.

io dont see what would be wrong with a car using liquid batteries, like zinc-bromine or something. u could top it up at a station just like current fuels. deposit the old liquid to be re-electrolyzed. ez??

the alternative is fuel cells. we have ceramic cells that can run off natural gas at a fairly high efficiency. and in australia we already run cars off petroleum gas. not much of a stretch to make the transition

I'd say the cost of static typing is inversely proportional to the size of your project.

I am amazed how yegge has managed to bring terms into the typing debate with *less consistent meaning* than the ones currently in use.

I truly fear we'll get into debates of software conservatives vs. software liberals, and at some point some jackass will say "of course but <person x> is a researcher for <liberal/conservative> software engineering" as if it were a contest.

If that happens, I predict a loving hellhole and I can only imagine myself leaving the industry at once.

anything where you need to exchange fluids is too complex for the public. unit exchanges could be possible iff they are lightweight and/or require infrequent changes. even then they're probably too complex.

If i were to say, have 500L of bottled up urine from some theoretical WoW raiding days and wanted to dispose of them in an allegedly environmentally friendly way, would having them sucked up into a battery acid reprocessing facility be a good idea?

It would get rid of my bottle storage problems.

and they still gently caress that up

i had a coworker w/ a mercedes, he was wondering why it ran like poo poo, guy was putting 87 in it and not 93, so the knock sensors were going insane and retarding the timing and killing his performance, i told him to go to 93 cause he's loving his poo poo up and he's like "nah too expensive"

then there's all the diesel in the gas and vice versa. everyone knows someone who has done that

its totally cool to pour a quart of transmission fluid into your engine crankcase with the oil and run it for a while. cleans it up nicely

then the solution is obvious: retrofit existing gas pumps as pneumatic exchangers of rechargeable D-batteries. first it sucks the empty batteries out of the car, then it pushes recharged batteries in, and you pay based on how many you exchange
