  • It’s almost like the point of these scenarios is fun escapism and isn’t about perfectly simulating an apocalyptic wasteland down to the most mundane and uninteresting parts.

    Also, they time travel past going to the shitter, sleeping, most of the journeys etc. So unrealistic that it’s literally unwatchable.


  • PHEV’s are getting reclassified/re-regulated by the EU, because:

    • The stated average emissions are based on actually plugging in to charge, which most owners don’t bother with, considering electric propulsion only accounts for like 1/15 of the cars total range

    • It has been regulated in a way that gave the manufacturer only small emissions penalty for increasing the motor size & weight of the car - because it was still considered to be electrically powered.

    • The design itself leads to a heavier car (having 2 propulsion systems)

    Meanwhile, the full EV market has been more self-regulating in the sense that they have kept the weight/energy requirements down in order be competitive on range.


    • Don’t code in a language/style that requires you to write code that makes prefixing necessary - divide and conquer instead
    • Readable code and well written unit/BDD tests is much better than separate documentation that will go out of sync the minute another Dev does some surgical incision into the code
    • Be verbose if you need to in order to convey the relevant semantics, the characters are virtually free
    • Use the casing that is mainstream/recommended by its’ developers for the language at hand
