There are many more ways to do this. Most of iOS developers who ever published apps know that.
Hiding a functionality from Apple is a ticket to account and company ban and is not worth the hassle. Unless it was the intention of the whole enterprise.
It would seem plausible though that apps built with feature flags do not trigger these kinds of lines. Being able to roll out, or roll back features (even approved ones) for testing, bug fixing, etc, seems pretty essential, especially for larger apps.
It would be hard to wait for (up to?) weeks waiting for an app update to be approved.
Agree with this. GitHub was good at some point, then Gitlab caught up and now Gitlab has been superior in code review experience for few years at least.
Comparing between MR/PR versions, meta commands in MR templates, and so on.
You are getting it. Use less and smaller tools if possible. And if you're on Node 18, node comes with a watch mode built in that you can leverage.
You can alternatively use esbuild to handle the TypeScript compilation since it is faster than tsc for that, and just keep tsc around for the typechecker.
I'm seeing this for the first time given I'm not from the US, but its reach seems limited
https://resist.bot/petitions
In Germany there is Campact for example which usually crosses 200K signatures per petition, if something like this doesn't exist in the US then I think someone with money should create it or promote an existing solution like OpenPetition to enough recurring signers
I'm not sure what you mean by limited reach, but for added context: Resist Bot is an automated service that can be used to contact elected officials in the U.S. Believe it or not, some elected officials actually pay attention to what their constituents say when writing to them.
The headline includes plugin hybrids, which is an ICE vehicle unless driven purely from battery. Grouping then with BEVs can be misleading depending on what the data is used for.
Given the usual intention of "how green are we?", I would suggest counting them as 80% of a "real" EV, for the same reason that I give when the discussion turns to putting PV cells physically on a car[0]: most driving is short trips where this is fine, and the longer trips, while they absolutely exist, are less common.
[0] though with different underlying causes that means this is coincidentally 80% and they may diverge
It really depends on the instance, as plug-in hybrids have traditionally had rather anemic pure-electric ranges.
If it can do, say, ~75km pure electric with reasonable climate comforts, then I imagine it should be able to handle a majority of commutes with just home charging and is for all practical purposes a BEV in daily operation.
It gets muddy below that though, requiring either quite limited total daily driving or multiple charge rounds every day...
While you may use more than 75 km per day (my brother would've at his last place), most people commute between two places in a single city, so they don't need so much — the averages I've heard vary from 12 to 20 miles per day, so 20-32 km total even assuming no charging at work (which I hope would be encouraged by most local governments).
But even then: if you go 100 km between charging and the battery only lasts half of it, that's still half your fossil fuel that's replaced with a municipal electric grid that is inherently more efficient even when also purely fossil fuelled, and also is being rapidly greened.
75 km was to account for two locations within the single city or metropolitan area, with some buffer: 25-30 km each way, leaving 15-25 km as buffer for heating/cooling cabin and battery depending on climate as well as detours like groceries and picking up children. A significant percentage of your range goes out the window when the battery goes cold or you need to heat or cool the cabin.
Random online sources[0] seem to suggest that the average daily US commute is 41 miles, or 65 km. The median or geometric average might have been better, but that suggests that the "average US citizen" would require 2 charges per day with less than 75 km of battery range.
If you go much shorter than this - say, 20km roundtrip - then you are also getting into bicycle commuting territory, at least outside the US where bikes are given priority in traffic.

If you divide the all-electric range with battery capacity, the Prius Prism consumes 191 Wh per km in all electric mode, while a Hyundai Ioniq 6 consumes 133 Wh per km - you are paying for the complex hybrid drive-train in electric efficiency. In ICE mode, the same car consumes around 3.5 L per 100 km mixed driving, while fully petrol VW up! uses 2.9 L per 100 km mixed driving - not bad for a gasoline vehicle, but also not amazing. Data from their respective Wikipedia articles.
If you rarely ever need the gasoline engine, sure - then you're just driving a somewhat inefficient BEV with a miniscule battery requiring recharging at least once a day. If the gasoline engine comes on, then you're just driving a gasoline vehicle from that point on with good - but far from the best - fuel efficiency.
Either way, you might still be better off with a small BEV with a tiny battery, like a used Renault Zoe, VW e-UP! or the upcoming VW ID.1. Better efficiency and longer battery-range so you don't have to recharge once or twice every day, and without being the worst of both worlds when they are serviced like is the case for a hybrid.
For the record I use about 1.5 L/100km in my Prius Prime. I used to get about 5 L/100km on my Prius. For my Corolla before that, I'd guess it was about 8 L/100km.
That said, it is clear to me that the fuel economy one will get with the Prius Prime will depend heavily on the relative frequency of the various trips one takes.
In comparison, a modern eco VW UP! is around 2.8L/100km in mixed driving, so 1.5 is about a 2x improvement over a good ICE. My old diesel polo does around 4L/100km, so 2.5x for that one.
Not bad, definitely a hell of a lot better than the early Prius, but definitely nowhere near BEV efficiencies. I feel like a small-battery BEV is a better proposition for many, especially as pure BEVs have significantly better pure-electric drive-train efficiency than plugins, and less maintenance.
“…and this is why I did not push harder…”
This is a full-on circus.
Bonuses and stock drop and revenue plus solving a problem for team Sales using team Chrome is just pathetic.
It could be easy to assume this happens across all Google products.
Absolutely. The entirety of Google’s consumer footprint was leveraged to try to make Google Plus a success. And that was just the first example I saw when I joined.
