You can charge the plugin hybrid and do your daily drive (~50km) on just electricity. Hybrid cars are just a way to save some fuel with regenerative braking and charging on a downhill.

PHEV is great if you have a monthly/weekly trips that are longer than 100km where you use petrol or if you want the option to drive 500km road trip without an hour long charging break. This is very good for people that have a charger at work but live in an apartment that they can't charge the car.

HEV is going to be cheaper than the PHEV since you have a lot smaller battery and electric power system. The electric system is only there to take a load off the ICE engine and can potentially make it last longer by not having it run at a lower intensity.

As soon as you can charge the car at home EV is the best, people should take a break from driving every 2-3 hours anyway for safety on road trips. Downside is that you need a charging station to drive of course. EVs can potentially be the cheapest of the bunch since you only need one system to propel the car forward and battery prices are falling.

It's a deadlock situation and can arise without any screw ups. Imagine the buses being 5x as long and all reach the intersection at the same time as an example. All have space to enter the roundabout but they'll reach the same situation as in the picture.

To fix this people uses signals and can be done by having the buses follow "Only 1 or 2 articulated (double) buses are allowed into the roundabout at a time". A rule like that might be required if you have a lot of articulated buses. The risk of this happening depends on how many ways you can enter a roundabout no a bus like that, how long the buses are, how frequently they run and how big the roundabout is.

I'm right now back in a running/weightlifting phase after finishing a chess phase. I really wish there was more to learn about it because I have the thirst for more information about how to optimise the workouts. Especially nice since it gives me the chemicals I want but I wish the gym would stop playing music.

Nothing beyond clarity. I always thought I was working around my own character flaws but after I realised I'm autistic it reframes it as me working around autism.

It didn't provide help but it did provide answers. I now sometimes say to clients that I have autism and I might ramble on too much about details and people seem to like it.

I would go for "garbage, bad and ok" where bad is acceptable. Most styles are ok, a lot of anti-patterns are bad but still get the job done but sometimes people write pure garbage. I'm very happy that at my job we just have a lot of bad code that's workable but this one contractor wrote an absolute piece of shit. His code was a convoluted side-effect mess that was "reactive" and at around 3-5x more verbose than the "naive" solution. He made so many decisions that increased complexity and overhead that it become a rigid buggy mess.

Sometimes people just need to stick to the basics by using a database layer and a service layer on the backend and a API layer and component code on the front.

At my job there's a class method that's longer than that.

I kinda rolled my own ORM, it was just a glorified class to SQL parameter converter that is then passed onto some SQL code. Then there was a thingy that marshals the result. Using table value functions in SQL standardises the result so any select * just works. It was around 50-100 lines total.

Not using a chair to store semi dirty clothes is absurd. Wearing shorts two days in a row saves a lot of laundry.

They're used differently, which trumps historical meanings.

Not as good as I would have expected. I remember my in-laws car license plate but not their birthdays. It might be because I use a calendar to track those.

I cowpulsively check if I have my key before closing doors. I always feel uncomfortable leaving a place that I know I might not be able to get back to.
