Because if you send marketing emails through SMTP, your delivery rate will be approximately 0.00%, or if you're leveraging a third party SMTP, they will ban you.

Not if you are paying them for the service.
There are ommercial email services that aren't google/microsoft/aws. My former company used to use one (can't remember the name) that provided you with smtp servers and a set of dedicated IPs per customers that were preused by them to build a good reputation beforehand.
I think the point is not necessary that you have to selfhost email (although it can be done, some people do), but depending on a single vendor through a proprietary service/API.
Sounds to me like what you meant to say is that your criteria for determining whether someone's profession is "serious" is whether they use metric or not.
Is there a list anywhere of trustworthy sites for product reviews? The article mentioned Tech Gear Lab, and though I haven't heard of House Fresh, that seems reasonable? Consumer Reports of course, but are there others?
I don't think so. It depends on the product, ie. Digital Trends are good for stuff like TVs, Serious Eats have great kitchen-related stuff reviews, etc...
On the other hand, vanilla PHP effectively "hides" HTTP from the programmer. I taught myself PHP in middle school and high school as my first programming experience, and had no concept of a thing called "HTTP" for a very very long time. I knew the pieces of it that PHP gave me. I knew what $_POST, $_GET, $_SERVER, $_HEADER, set/getcookie(), were and how to manipulate them, and I knew the rules (setting a header after "echo" made it complain), but I didn't understand how that all hung together as a thing outside PHP called HTTP.
When I did learn about HTTP, it was very easy, since I already knew it without knowing I knew it, so maybe that's in favor of your point, but there's much to be said for the actual understanding that I didn't have at first. When I started interviewing people for PHP entry-level jobs, asking about HTTP was one of the ways I gauged how well applicants understood their work at a conceptual level.
I imagine it took you awhile to understand what “stateless“ meant, because you weren’t exposed to the default state-fullness of most other languages, so didn’t realize stateless wasn’t the default.
Shown in the article but not called out specifically, I recommend avoiding implicit tables entirely when using clickhouse materialized views. We use clickhouse for similar purposes, and there are several cases where views are listening to tables populated by another view. So [table] "events" -> [view] "mv_events_to_view1" -> [table] "view1" -> [view] "mv_view1_to_view2" -> [table] "view2". If you use implicit tables, the 2nd view will never receive data.
The differences are a) you don't lose notable range in cold weather (and your car continues to reliably tell you your remaining range), and b) there's always another gas station a block down.
It's really interesting what sort of things are considered problems with EVs that just get ignored with gas cars. The dual standard is pretty interesting to observe.
I don't necessarily think the problem is the range loss; the problem is the lower range to begin with, and the unreliable public charging infrastructure.
The 2024 Toyota Camry gets over 600 miles of highway range. We don't think about ICE vehicles in that way, but compare that to a Model 3 Long Range: ~340 miles @100% battery, but realistically you're running 90%-10%, so its more like ~270 miles. Losing 20% of your range to cold weather is A LOT more tenable when you're working with 400+ miles of range to begin with.
Superchargers are pretty reliable. Inhumanly reliable actually, especially compared to other charging networks. Many, many parts of the country have stretches of 130+ miles with no DC Fast Charging options, or just a Supercharger and one non-Tesla option.
So, run the math on that. You're looking at a 280 mile range EV. Subtract 20% just because you can only run it 90%-10%, not 100%-0%: 224 miles. Subtract 20% because cold weather (and that's charitable; some of these brands are more like 30%-40%, bad insulation, no heat pump, etc): 180 miles. There's one DC Fast Charging station between you and your destination. Your destination is 160 miles away, and that DC Fast Charger is managed by Electrify America. This isn't a double-standard or "range anxiety": This is a legitimate problem.
Read your own link more carefully. If I'm taking my car on a short commute so that it never gets up to temperature, then maybe, the absolute worst case scenario, I might suffer as much range loss as the best case scenario for an EV. But when the engine is at temperature and remains at such (for example, I'm taking a long-distance drive where range actually matters), the range loss on a gas car is minuscule, whereas the EV car still suffers significant range loss.
> Fuel economy tests show that, in city driving, a conventional gasoline car's gas mileage is roughly 15% lower at 20°F than it would be at 77°F. It can drop as much as 24% for short (3- to 4-mile) trips.
> The effect on hybrids is typically greater. Their fuel economy can drop about 30% to 34% under these conditions.
> For electric vehicles (EVs), fuel economy can drop roughly 39% in mixed city and highway driving, and range can drop by 41%. About two-thirds of the extra energy consumed is used to heat the cabin.
Gee, I wonder why people are more concerned about EV's. Could it be that they lose upwards of 40% range whereas ICE loses roughly 15% fuel economy?
And don't tell me I'm being unfair, ICE can lose up to 25% for 3-4 mile trips, which is not the use case anyone is worrying about.
The largest offender for ICE fuel economy loss in winter is low tire pressure (IIRC accounts for 3% loss). The winter gasoline blended fuel accounts for the next largest but IIRC it's semi made up for because winter blends are less expensive then summer blended fuel.
And a longer commute makes a gas car more efficient as the engine has time to come up to operating temperature. Something that EV's are weaker at.
So it is more of an issue for BEV's depending on what kind of commute you have and whether you easy access to daily charging.
Anyone who has driven long distances in the cold (where you can calculate your mpg easily, as you are just driving all day, what else are you doing?) knows that is bullshit. My van that gets 20-25 mpg in the summer gets... 20-25 mpg in the winter. The only time it's affected is when I'm crossing the rockies. Mountains...
And as somebody who drives an EV, occasionally in cold weather, I would also assert based on my personal experience that losing range is "bullshit" but I also realize that others have different experiences.
That's exactly the sort of vehicle that has not been designed to preserve battery life in cold weather. Legacy auto manufacturers have not taken batteries seriously, and so I would totally believe that the tiny battery would not have the thermal management it needs to stay warm enough for maximum capacity.
Definitely gets the point across in an instant. Excellent marketing.
It's insanity that even when Messages.app is closed, the messages still pop up. Even when not screensharing - I still get an audible ding sound when I'm on video conference.
