Does anyone have suggestions for when I need to use bearer auth and the token is super long?

With curl I end up finding the command becomes hard to read, even taking advantage of backslashes. With Postman, it tidily hides the token out of the way on a separate tab and gets out of my way.

> Can someone that is actually interested in this explain the appeal?

It’s light and the thinness is just fun. I’m not putting a case on it. And I really don’t understand why a phone needs to sit flat on a table—if anything, the angle is a plus.

Flat doesn't seem best to you? Next best for me would be a symmetrical bump. But the asymmetrical bump (I think) all iPhones have seems the worst of all alternatives. This results in that bad restaurant table wobble feeling.

This is why my next car won’t be a Tesla (after driving one for the past 8 years). It’s sad, they get so many things right but they are dangerously irresponsible.

You have a different reaction than most Tesla owners [1].

That version gave you the ability to customize the bottom bar. You can still put that same icon in the same stop if that's what you want.

The UX designer, Jenson, cites interesting concepts like 1+1=3 and cognitive load. But forgets an even more basic concept: design for the common case.

The common case is the driver being the owner. Tesla has real world data about how many times the defrost button is tapped. Their UX decision to make the bottom bar customizable is smart.

I personally choose to only put the defrost button in the bar during months of the year when I use that button frequently and remove it at other times. Keeps it easily accessible when I need it and out of the way when I don't. Elegant, functional.

It might even be the case that defrost is in the bottom bar by default and the owner of the Tesla he drove had removed it, I can't remember right now what Tesla does for newly shipped cars.

Robotaxis are "a real business"? Maybe in the future, but not yet. From the article:

> But even the most bullish believers in autonomous transportation acknowledge the tech still has a ways to go before it’s reliable enough for widespread deployment on U.S. roads.

Does a business have to be widely deployed or profitable to be real? The public and private capital markets say "no". If you were to ignore any business that isn't widely available you'd miss the beginning of both Apple and Facebook.

Waymo is a real business serving 50,000 rides each week delivering paying customers to their destination. If you haven't tried it yet, the product is amazing. Private, doesn't cancel, safe, and smooth. I will never take Uber again if I have the choice.

For now I’ve decided to sit on React/Nextjs and actually focus on solving problems rather than playing the framework/UI library game that leads me nowhere.

I totally get your sentiment.

By “sit on” do you mean “keep using” or “avoid”?

Cool site! You might consider deleting the cookie notice?

I run a similar site (dateful.com) and I promise the EU regulators don't come after sites like ours. :)

jonathanberger commented on RAM’s New Electric Pickup Truck Aims for Battery Range of 500 Miles   wsj.com/articles/rams-new... · Posted by u/lxm
jonathanberger · 3 years ago
One of the most surprising things about getting an EV four months ago has been how little range matters.

Since you always leave home with a full tank and it’s rare to drive more than 150 miles in a typical day any range over that is money I’d rather save buying a smaller battery.

The main place more range helps is with road trips. But even there I run into the human comfort limit before the range limit. My family needs food and restrooms more frequently than the battery needs charging.

If I were to purchase an EV again I’d ignore range and focus more on other aspects.
