This is very much the bell curve meme, but those in the know would be aware that the US military had been working on it for a while now.

Steer by wire has been around for about 10 years now, mainly in Nissans.

Q50 was first. But it had a tiny mechanical backup. Toyota will bring a full system in Lexus models this year.

Its wild.

Yup, it's amazing. And the real estate around central park is some of the most valuable in the world!

But plants are nearly free, so we could just have that in more places...

Rather than blocking it out, replace it with greenery, shrubs, trees, flowers, grasses

Some of the most beautiful areas of any city are where people and nature are together. Just give me big ass trees alongside the towering buildings!

Totally, but I'm not aware of anyone using either properly in a truly production environment. Both are more on the hobbyist or tinkering side, or in the Linux space anyway where you can already just do anything.

(From what I've seen? Would be thrilled to see examples!)

I really like Micropython too. I made a "game" that communicates state between multiple boards over wifi in almost no time compared to how long it would take in C++.

Aha on embedded not much choice there. It's what keeps C alive and relevant for sure

I'm not suggesting replacing the small programs with one mega Python script, I meant that even C is not a good language for that either.

If you're chaining a bunch of stuff together through your shell environment anyway, you're not using the low level benefits of C, so you're just punishing yourself with having to implement everything by hand every time! Python is amazing because the syntax is clear and readable and the standard library has nearly everything you'd need if you're not building a large application.

However since most of these things are going to be one-liners then yeah you may want to just put them in one script!

Welcome to the world of JavaScript

What you're describing sounds like Python. Not really C's strong suit.

If you haven't checked it out yet, you certainly should!

Well, the manufacturer rarely does but the dealership often tries to sell them as an added revenue stream.

They vary from OK to dreadful. But it's still an option vs this remote services system if you don't like it.

Fair enough, those are the hotspots for maple forests!

Maple doesn't really grow in Alaska, let alone western Canada, so it's not made there. We westerners also need to import it from Quebec.
