Considering the first part of that challenge is that they submerge the hilux in the sea, I can't see the tesla holding up too well. Would love to see it though!

I wouldn't be so sure.

While you obviously don't want to test it, there are videos of Model 3's and Model S's being driven through water over the windshield and were fine. IIRC there's a video somewhere of one of the Tesla models actually floating when the water got too deep.

I want to see the cybertruck vs wrecking ball and caravan... that would be pretty epic.

I'll stick with my 50 year old cars thanks - this looks shite.

what does this do that a smartphone doesn't? If anything, is it too niche?

Really can't see this taking off.

Not spy on your sexy time texts to your wife and recommend you buy condoms is a killer feature I could get behind.

QML, unless on it's own or paired with C++, is utter rubbish.

This is my first time hearing about it. I read through a basic description and it sounds interesting in theory. What makes it rubbish?

as someone who has shipped a few projects made mostly in QML, it's clearly not rubbish

I sometimes wish the effort that went behind QML went somewhere else. That to be said, clearly other folks are finding benefits in it, just not for the app I have to support (yet).

The statement is overly harsh, but essentially correct.

QML simply lacks a lot of features, and C++ hooks are often required to make it work well.

Oddly, you need to launch a QML app using at least a little bit of C++ no matter what. That's not a problem for mot pro devs who can hack a little bit of C++, but it's actually problematic for most others. Even 10 lines of C++ is too much for most devs who don't know it. It's like having to speak 10 lines of Russian. The docs are often tricky and ambiguous about how to start and launch apps as well.

That is like... The two usual ways to use it. Although I recommend using it with C++ for nontrivial applications.

and they say millennials are on their phones too much!

Kinda want one just so i can beat my phone addiction.

Instructables link 404s for me.

exercise.

Indeed. I recommend weight lifting. Especially free weight exercises like squats and dead lift that are training mostly the biggest muscles have a very positive impact on confidence because they increase testosterone levels measurably.

Cardio had zero impact though, at least for me.

as another benefit, it makes you tired so you'll sleep better. At least that's one of the major benefits I've noticed. I always had trouble sleeping (which impacts my work). But when I started doing weights and making myself physically exhausted, sleep came easier which meant better work etc :)

By 10:00 PM on squat and deadlift days, I couldn't stay awake if I wanted to. But I don't want to.

And try and exercise everyday.

It will make you feel better, look better, be more relaxed and you can always expand into social exercise activities.

Plus if you're working in IT you need to balance all of the sitting down.

As someone struggling with this too, it's seriously the key.

No matter how I eat/sleep/schedule.. nothing seems to bring everything together in my life as having an exercise routine. It shouldn't be the cherry on top, it needs to be the glue that holds together.

Or maybe a better analogy: treat it like brushing your teeth. Sure it can be a chore, and something that needs to be done.. but you can't NOT do it without significant long term consequence to your health.

Just the added feeling of focus and elevated mood after exercise makes it worth it to me, everything else is a bonus.

Having flashbacks to the cube with gears in that everyone used to love.

I hate animations now, they make the desktop feel less responsive in my opinion.

how am I supposed to get to the other pre-built binaries?
