What's with the constant bad mouthing of EVs that I've been seeing on social media for the last 3 months? They have been on the market for the last decade and there are no unknowns about them.
Is the competition with chinese EVs so hard that only way out is to buy out the public opinion?
They emit UVA which has less energy and body has better defenses for it, but it is not as readily blocked as UVB or UVC, although some would imagine the resin and pigments for this application are designed to absorb UVA more.
I think most risk has to do with manufacturers' lax attitude for safety and consumer expectations and impatience.
Not that it is a particularly healthy thing to radiate oneself with UV but what is life without some color.
I think it boils down to "early exit" v.s. "single return" style. More than likely, the average programmer will pick the style they've been taught at school or whichever was preached more.
I think early exit constructs improve readability and python already offers a lot of syntax open to abuse at this point. (things you can write with nested list/dict comprehensions with if conditions/expressions scattered..)
Yeah, it is actually silly if you don't have a decent DEM, though you can get away with a geoid approximation if you only want to render a pretty picture for someone navigating to the nearest ATM.
I used my E6 for almost ten years (replaced the battery once). 3~4 years is just the life of the lithium battery. Nowadays it is the software's fault that perfectly serviceable devices are out of use. I give about 1½ years before they give up.
I am working on an app that needs some GIS features. Spatialite and GDAL cover my use case. You can even eliminate GDAL if you don't retrieve data as binary but it is useful in other places too.
