My understanding is that amyloid plaques can actually be seen with a specialized PET scan now, so it can be more definitively diagnosed in living people.
The rainy season is during the summer (Northern Hemisphere's winter). Outside of those months it doesn't rain very often! I've spent two winters (June-August) in Namibia and can't recall much, if any rain. But now that we're approaching summer there, I imagine there's a little more rain. The Namib desert (which is a small percentage of Namibia, to be clear) is one of, if not the, driest deserts in the world.
Yep. My new car has a digital rear view mirror. You flip a switch and the rear view mirror becomes a screen showing a feed from a camera on the back of the car. It’s nice for night time as well as when the rear window is blocked by rear seat passengers’ heads, or cargo or whatever.
But it’s uncomfortable for me because it requires my eyes to refocus from distant to close and back when I glance at it, which isn’t needed with an actual mirror. So I don’t use the feature.
Once I had a rental car (a Nissan) that only had a screen instead of a mirror. It was absolutely useless since the resolution and dynamic range were too low, and as you mentioned, you have to change your focal distance which drastically increases time/friction to check the mirror.
I found myself actually using the incidental reflection on the surface of the screen instead of the actual pixels. I can't believe this arrangement is legal.
I had an old mazda3 (2014) with a little pop up plastic screen HUD, and it was focused at some distance significantly greater than the distance between my head and the screen.
I’ve spent significant time in Africa. South Africa is higher than the US despite being a place where everyone has razor wire topped walls around their houses, and having the 5th highest murder rate in the world.
The US has problems. I myself was the victim of a violent robbery 15 years ago. But the idea that it’s less peaceful than South Africa, Lesotho, Sierra Leone, and only marginally more peaceful than Haiti? Come on…
The index is not just about "how peaceful is the average citizen's life", which is one part of it, but also includes other things like how many wars the country participates in, how much of their government budget goes to military, etc. You shouldn't get a good "Global Peace Index Score" while exporting violence across the globe.
IMHO, Toyota did an awesome job of taking the 2004 Prius funny wedge compact eco-nerd-mobile look (which might have been exactly what it needed at the time), and making it look sleek and modern and powerful.
I'm imagining a designer looking at the earlier windshield slant, and knowing they could work with that, and retain references to the iconic earlier design.
Toyota sells the most cars of any auto maker. What ground was lost?
It's clear Toyota has correctly assessed the market. They got it right.
As time goes on, BEVs will be a bigger percentage of the cars they sell. In the meantime they'll keep selling the cars they've got, including their current BEVs.
Given the initial success of the Prius, every Tesla you see on the road should've been a Toyota. (If not something from GM, who has even more experience in blowing an early lead in electrification.)

Right, but you can’t have a single package containing both ObjC and Swift. It’s a limitation of SwiftPM that has prevented me from using it for a few projects (I am using it in several others, though).
Oh gotcha, yeah they’re absolutely usable as any maintainer mixing the languages and providing SPM support will handle the binary release part. If anything it’s nicer for the consumer (binary releases in general) as it cuts down on full app rebuild times.
I kept hitting my head against the wall, and getting a million stupid errors trying to resolve header files. But in the end I got it working, and I will no longer be one of the guys pestering the old Cocoapods servers :)
For whoever comes after me... When ChatGPT suggests changing your Objective-C from this:
#import package.h
To this:
#import <package/package.h>
Just skip that rabbithole of inifiny-nested failure, and just do this instead:
Because targeting the latest release lets the developer use new APIs/features that are not available on older OSes making development more productive and pleasant.
Of course, there’s a balance to be struck to support users, but macOS update uptake is usually pretty fast.
From TFA: While the exact original recipe is no longer offered – today, the dressing uses Worcestershire, anchovies, Tabasco and lemon along with roasted and raw garlic – foodies still flock to Caesar’s Restaurants to get the original tableside show.
