I legit heard a news anchor say “and what it could mean for your weekend” on the TV at a bar recently, so they’re keeping it alive.
Bought it in 2018. Tried to convince him to buy a Kia.
Guy randomly stopped me to ask me how I like my Model 3 when I was getting out of it in a parking lot last week. First time that’s happened in like 6 years.
Thanks for the extended write up! I’m starting to get more of a feel for what the conpiler is doing behind the scenes.
I was going to ask a follow-up question about why there are instances of generics in traits that are never used:
// I2C SDA pin pub trait SDAPin<I2C> { fn setup(&self); }But I think I get it. This allows multiple nearly identical implementations of this trait that vary only by the concrete type used.
This lets the macro implicitly tie certain hardware pins to certain register banks while maintaining a common setup() function for the SDAPin trait.
Neat!
Watching video: Wow, that’s long! Oh…it covers multiple topics, so it’s just the first section…oh.
Thanks for the link! It seems like I need to read up more on the object oriented stuff. I’ve never even worked with trait objects nor dynamic dispatch.
Considering the valuations are based on non existent future data centers, I don’t see why they couldn’t continue to be based on nonexistent past data centers.

The photo you linked was a dedicated circuit installed by a licensed electrician. Mistakes/freak accidents happen. As I said in another comment, think of how many millions of households use 1440W space heaters indoors and don’t burn down. That’s what TC is advocating here. By and large, it’s completely safe.
ch00fto Videos•Don't overthink electric car charging (we should be doing it differently) - Technology Connextras6·9 days agoRight, but people use space heaters all the time inside their homes. This is even less dangerous because people tend not to park their cars on carpet and EVs store most of that energy instead of using it to heat up the drapes.
If we’re worried about pulling 12A out of a 15A outlet, there is much more to be worried about before we get to cars.
As TC has covered this before, consumers are clueless (and cheap) about extension cords.
Only a danger if the cord is tightly coiled and drops enough voltage to get warm, but not enough to trip the car’s protection circuit. A lot has to go wrong for this to be a major problem.
Also all extension cords are wrapped in fire retardant plastic, so it’d likely melt, short out, blow the breaker, and nothing would happen.
Electrical code is wrapped in many layers of safety. You really have to try to hurt yourself.

ch00fto Videos•Don't overthink electric car charging (we should be doing it differently) - Technology Connextras182·9 days agoStandard outlets are rated for 15A. The vehicle is already de-rating by 20% (to 12A) per NEC requirements for any appliance running for more than 3 hours continuously (which is how you get 1800W hair dryers but only 1440W space heaters).
Assuming code was followed for your house wiring, nothing is at risk there.
Then it’s just a matter of buying the right extension cord. Note that the vehicle will refuse to charge if the input voltage drops below a certain level (in my car, I think it’s around 110V).
So you only have to worry about a 10V drop at 12A or 120W of heat dissipation. Assuming all of this happens inside your extension cord, you just need to make sure you don’t coil it up too tightly (or, better, don’t use such a cheap cord).
Reach out to a kid who’s still figuring out his world view and offer him $45/hr to walk around an airport, and I think he might compromise his shaky morals a bit.
My mother once asked me how I knew the people I was playing CS:Source with weren’t all pedophiles. I was 18 at the time.
Moms can be dumb.
Have I got a video for you!
