True, I wonder if the cladding could have flanges on the backside that could be bolted/welded though, which would by invisible from the outside of the vehicle
I think the surfaces are mated on the edges, there would be a bend on the edges if you were to install a flange there. That would probably look weird. It's cold rolled steel which has nice properties but makes it difficult to install flanges. It's a hard look to achieve which makes it technically impressive but does require such compromises such as using glue.
While I don't like the Cyber Truck design aesthetically or technically the manufacturing techniques used to create it are impressive. I do wonder if the manufacturing was done this way to have an option to make cheap military vehicles at scale, like how VW factories are now considering being repurposed to produce military vehicles.
Personally the Toyota Hilux Champ 2.4L diesel is more my speed.

I know nothing about materials science, but I'm curious if it could then be stamped at the corners/edges to create some sort of surface that could be used to attach using rivets/weld/bolts
I think it would be hard to do that and keep the aesthetics - there would be a curve on the edge wherever the stamping is done. Glue is a workaround that has it's own tradeoffs but is not without president.
I think due to drones there will be a trend towards very lightly armored vehicles that spend most of their time loitering with short periods of shoot-and-scoot. When even tanks can be destroyed by drones it doesn't make much sense to keep pursing stronger, heavier, and more expensive armor.
The versatility of the CyberTruck manufacturing chain would make it pretty easy to pump out many variants for different roles and easily change the variants as tactics progress.
For AWS we should split the platform and the managed services (no one should have to compete with "the platform". See elasticsearch, redis).
This also works for Amazon retail, they should not be allowed to sell on their own marketplace (they have to choose, they are either a marketplace or a seller)
I've always thought is should be Azure, Office and XBox, and each should get their own copy of Windows that they could focus on different things while still being largely compatible. Don't know if XBox could survive on it's own.
Xbox has been nothing more than a budget, low-spec, walled in gaming PC for about 1.5 console generations. It no longer has exclusive games, and the hardware (console and peripherals) are mediocre.
(PlayStation is almost in the same boat, except they have significant sales in regions where PC gaming is much smaller than in the US.)
Huh, why? Xbox is a great example of a business unit that should be self-sustainable.
Not that it matters.,Microsoft has done a spectacular job of killing Xbox even with its ability to sustain setting money on fire for the past decade. Xbox has been an unmitigated disaster since Xbox One.
And? We were talking about other businesses that should be split up in addition to Google. It would be weird if the only answers were Google-owned ventures...
The US hasn’t been isolationist since WW2, quite the opposite once we were relatively unscathed by the conflict and rose to the worlds #1 military superpower.
"Since"? US was isolationist for a large part of the war. It's their underlying policy. Sure they do sometimes deploy to get oil from the middle east and such, but that is quite different. As was the whole libya thing, concerned about the gold dinar, not some leader figure.
It seems to me Trump is following the logic that the current danger to the US is China, not Russia. Approaching Russia may be a strategy to ensure China and Russia (and maybe all BRICS) are not aligned against the US. He probably believes that Europe is not a threat, and won't become one even when the US behave in ways that go against its interests (Which I would say is correct).
I have to say that while that world view may be misguided, and certainly is not a worldview Europeans would agree with, it is nonetheless a rational view, and is almost certainly correct in that Russia alone is not a serious threat to the US, and won't be in the medium term at least (it can barely win in Ukraine, to think it could win against NATO and then go on to take the US is just delusional).
> The Go crowd, like the Rust crowd, likes to advertise the language their software is written in.
Probably because end users appreciate that usually that means a single binary + config file and off you go. No dependency hell, setting up third party repos, etc.

Until you have to use some plugin (e.g. cloudflare to manage DNS for ACME checks), now it's exactly "dependency hell, setting up third party repos, etc."
I also fully expect to see a few crashes from unchecked `err` in pretty much any Go software. Also, nginx qualifies for `single binary + config`, it's just NGINX is for infra people and Caddy is for application developers.
Actually, all of it applies to rust. The only stable ABI in Rust is C-ABI and IMO at that point it stops being rust. Even dynamically loading rustlib in rust application is unsafe and only expected to work when both compiled with the same version. In plugins context, it's the same as what Caddy making you do.
However, Rust Evangelical Strike Force successfully infiltrated WASM committee and when WASM Components stabilize, it can be used for plugins in some cases (see Zed and zellij). (Go can use them as well, rust is just the first (only?) to support preview-2 components model.
Yeah, I don't really do dynamic loading in my corner of Rust. And I can always target some MSRV, cargo package versions, and be happy with it. Definitely beats the dependency hell I've had to deal with elsewhere
Don't get me wrong, I love rust and use it almost every day. Doing `cargo run` in a project it handles everything is good. This gets lost once you start working in a plugin context. Because now you're not dealing in your neatly organized workplace, you're working across multiple workplaces from different people.
IIRC it's more than just MSRV or even matching version exactly. It also requires flags that were used to compile rustc match (there is an escape hatch tho).
> Our investigation is still in progress with regard to deprecated functionality for Slack features such as workflows, threads, sending messages and API-related features.
I'm not sure what their status page is talking about, is sending messages a deprecated slack feature?
Just kidding. But there was a sizable fraction of time where I really hadn't heard the word "deprecated" and read it mentally as "depreciated" like an asset.
Their status updates look clearly like AI-generated blurbs saying the same thing with varied phrasing, hour after hour. Thanks for the slop? I know writing status page updates is annoying, but “a human is paying attention to this” is the specific thing that status updates are trying to convey, so trying to get info from this page felt dispiriting today.
Edit: this would also explain why some details of the updates were nonsensical.
