How’s it compare to Hoarder/Karakeep?

Because of various privacy legislation, and people not wanting Google to track them as much, they stopped syncing the data to Google servers. As someone who’s worked at big tech companies, my guess would be that storing so many people’s location history was flagged as an issue during a privacy audit.

It’s entirely local now. You can enable encrypted backups and back up the data, however you can really only have the data on one device now, and the web version is gone.

TypeScript doesn’t need the “function” keyword for a method in an object or on a class though.

const foo = {
  bar(): string {
   ... 
  } 
}

which I assume is doable because the syntax is unambiguous.

In PHP’s case, the method syntax should also be unambiguous.

The first programming language I used was Visual Basic (both VBA in Excel, and VB3 then VB6). I think it used redim to resize arrays.

PHP’s object orientation is similar to languages like Java and C#, which is what I was comparing to.

It enforces scalar types (string, int, etc) at runtime if you enable strict mode. There’s also static analysis tools like PHPStan and Psalm that will flag issues at build time.

Can we talk about PHP functions with typehints too?

public static function foo(): string {

Practically every other language with similar syntax does this instead:

public static string foo() {

Older variants used DIM for arrays and LET for other variables. DIM was originally called that because it was setting the dimensions of the array.

In modern BASIC variants, DIM has become a backronym: “declare in memory”.

I agree with you (and in fact I just did a road trip between the San Francisco Bay Area and Las Vegas via Death Valley in my EV) but it’s probably not ideal for everyone.

had to upgrade due to DDOS

If you keep getting DDoS attacks, then I’d recommend getting DDoS protection from your hosting provider, or using Cloudflare. A lot of hosting providers can provide DDoS protection if you pay a bit extra per month.

The screen looks like they just copied and pasted BMW’s version

I can understand having both charging connectors, as it means you can charge anywhere without an adapter.

I don’t understand them having different functionality though.

Yeah, I think your case is an outlier where ICE cars still make sense. The majority of people don’t drive that far - the average driver in the USA only drives 37 miles per day.

Tax credits and other government rebates are almost never effective for anything, because companies just increase their prices. One of the reasons solar power is more expensive in the USA compared to other countries is because of the 30% tax credit. The tax credit just brings the price down closer to what it should actually be.

In my area there’s a $4k rebate on heat pump HVAC systems… As a result, quotes here are around $4k higher than quotes for addresses in the next county.

Very interesting. I’ve ordered two BMWs and both of them were shipped from Germany to the USA using NYK Line. I figured that using a shipping company would be what all (or most) of the other manufacturers would do too

Wow I didn’t realise BYD have their own RORO ships. I guess they really want to have a fully vertically-integrated supply chain. Do any other car companies have their own ships?

Can’t states have laws that are stricter than federal law though? California has a lot of laws that are stricter than federal laws, for example tighter regulation of guns, better worker protection (for things like overtime and rest breaks), etc. I don’t get how laws about cars are any different.

I don’t understand how the Senate can block a Californian law. Aren’t states supposed to have the autonomy to make their own laws?

I usually use HTTPS, because a lot of web features only work over HTTPS.

You can use Let’s Encrypt DNS challenges to get real TLS certificates for internal hosts, instead of having to use your own CA or self-signed certificates.

Tailscale has several NAT bypass / hole punching methods for double NAT (including CGNAT) and symmetric NAT, but they don’t work in 100% of cases. https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works

IPv6 is definitely a good solution since then you don’t have to deal with NAT at all. IPv6 is pretty easily doable in the USA (at long as you’re not using Starlink) but can be harder in other countries that don’t have as robust IPv6 infrastructure.
