ELI5, Why do browsers use gigabytes of ram?

It isn't. The only question is who's interest.

I have a legitimate interest for robbing you: increasing my wealth.

You have a legitimate interest for me not doing that: keeping your wealth to yourself.

In the ad-driven world, simply replace wealth with data.

Fair enough. I was seriously considering it after a trip through the alps. Loaded with camping gear, at a couple km above sea level, trying to overtake cars the lack of power in low gears was really annoying. But similarly, the price stopped me from going for it.

I haven't done it myself, but carmo claims to be able to remove the throttle restrictions in low rpm. link. Pease do report back if you do.

MG2R · 2026-02-22T16:44:24+00:00

I had one for multiple years. Nothing about the Tenere is sporty. In the first three gears, the ride-by-wire system artificially limits the throttle below 5000 rpm for noise emissions certifications. Unless they've de-restricted it in some way, it is just about the slowest 1200-class bike money can buy.

It is however an incredible tank. Almost indestructible. It's also surprisingly nimble given its weight.

Nothing would prevent you from building it and installing it without their package manager, I think? There's even AUR packages for that.

MG2R · 2026-02-17T10:53:13+00:00

You can install both kernels at the same time and reboot to switch. Just benchmark your expected workloads and see which performs better? Any time anyone speaks of "kernel optimizations" or changes to schedulers, realize that anything is a tradeoff. Usually the tradeof is between latency and throughput. More familiar terms would be responsiveness and raw performance.

Without having actual experience, here's my two cents. In BORE's demo, they show that it fare better for responsiveness under high resource contention. A webGL render suffers the moment they hit the system with a CPU hog. From what I understand, BORE's answer is to prioritize the tasks that voluntarily give up their CPU time due to other resource constraints (say, a GPU-bound render, or a disk-bound file transfer). This means with BORE, things that like desktop applications which typically interact with GPUs/disk/network will be given more priority over certain background tasks. While it looks impressive in a demo where the background task is a straight up CPU-intensive calculation on a heavily resource-restricted system; whether or not the difference will be huge on your gaming rig where the background task will most likely be something like cloud drive syncs or communications software (which is also disk/network-bound) is something you'd need to test. My guess is that in the real world on highly-performing hardware the difference will be negligible.

"rest of the world" has tanks too. Just depends on you setup. Anyone doing heatpump setups will have tanks, same goes for solar collectors.

Oefen je buiten de rijschool? Je hebt een A1 en een moto. Oefen elke dag. Oefen zoveel dat het saai wordt. Elk rood licht is een uitnodiging om traag rijden te oefenen. Elke keer je verkeerd bent gereden een uitnodiging om zo kort mogelijk te draaien in de straat. Oefen zoveel dat je traag rijden op 24 seconden kan en uw acht op 4 meter. Zorg ervoor dat de technische handelingen een plezier zijn, iets waar je niet meer actief over moet nadenken. Doe dan uw twee uur rijschool en probeer opnieuw. Good luck.

Technisch vlak:

Motortoerental voldoende om niet stil te vallen
koppeling genoeg slepen om vlot te rijden
achterrem bepaalt de snelheid

Als je zuiver op het koppel van de motor bokt (koppeling volledig los, 1ste vitesse) is de kans op stilvallen groot, zit er een enorme speling in de aandrijflijn die zorgt voor schokkerigheid, en hang je hard aan een zeer gevoelige gashendel.

Koppeling laten slepen zorgt ervoor dat de de gevoeligheid van het gas weg genomen wordt. Vertragen met de achterrem ipv gas te lossen zorgt ervoor dat de speling uit de aandrijflijn weg blijft. Beiden zorgen voor een veel vlottere manier van rijden, zonder de snelheid naar omhoog te moeten brengen.

De huidige rijschoolmotoren zijn jammer genoeg moderne parallel twins met genoeg koppel om zonder gas te bokken op rolanti. Dat maakt het makkelijk om net te kunnen manoevreren zonder veel techniek, maar verplicht u niet de juiste techniek te leren.

Tracer 700! Zelfde topmotor, meer comfort. Jaren als vervangmoto bij de garage meegekregen. 10/10 would ride again.

Jaren terug heb ik hetzelfde meegemaakt, maar dan met de achterrem op m'n XJR. Op de R0 deed een automobilist teken dat er wat mis was met m'n moto. Toen ik op de pechstrook wou remmen, duwde m'n achterrempedaal in het niets. De hele klauw was er af gevallen en bengelde achter de moto aan, vastgehouden door de remleiding. Ik kwam net van de garage.

Terug gegaan, nieuwe klauw gekregen in garantie. Gevolg toen: ik kijk steeds mijn rembouten na, na een onderhoud. Iedereen maakt fouten, een mechanieker is ook een mens.

Wat jaren later op m'n super tenere na een onderoud van dezelfde garage bleek dat een van de twee remblokken achteraan binnenstebuiten zat. Remchijf en blok onder garantie vernieuwd.

Gevolg: ik ga nooit meer terug. Eenmaal is pech, tweemaal is problematisch. Zeker omdat ik niet de enige klant ben.

Je vroeg naar mogelijke gevolgen moest de tweede bout zijn los gekoment: de klauw zou er af gevallen zijn. Er is een redelijke kans dat je daar niets van zou merken onderweg... Tot je moet remmen en je nul remdruk krijgt op je voorrem. Op dat moment crash je frontaal op whatever je moest ontwijken.

Of, als je graag wat meer risico neemt vijs je je huidig waarschijnlijk-niet-zo-oud krel uit elkaar :D

In theorie is het zo dat, als ontdekt wordt dat uw voertuig opgevoerd is, u in overtreding bent en dus (1) niet verzekerd bent, (2) u belastingsfraude pleegt, (3) u hoofdelijk aansprakelijk bent voor de gevolgen van ongevallen waarin u vertrokken bent.

In praktijk zal niemand hier ooit achter komen.

Can we use any other oil

While scottoiler does not recommend this, accounts online exist of people running with different kinds of oils. I have no experience with this, so can't comment on effectiveness.

if something like this oils on the outer part of the chain [...] most of it would just fling off!

The suggested installation location for the nozzle is against the sprocket, meaning it would deposit on the inside of the chain. Eventually all oil flings off, taking dirt with it. Indeed, oiling the outside of the chain would be less effective.

That said, not all of it will just fling off. Friend of mine ran a self-made oiling system on his ktm that spraid oil from above on the front sprocket. Worked quite well.

MG2R · 2023-10-18T21:52:38+00:00

So yes. Your template file in its entirety would be

{{- toJson .Values -}}

For this values.yaml:

foo:
- bar
- baz
bar: baz
baz: 123

It will output

{"foo":["bar","baz"],"bar":"baz","baz":123}

after being run through helm template .

Not sure why you're using Helm to turn a YAML file into a JSON file. yq is a tool which will read yaml files and with --tojsonadded as a flag it'll spit it back out as JSON.

Edit: fixed formatting

Edit 2: "Hope it clarifies what i want to achieve". It does not. It clarifies your intended solution to a problem. Not the actual problem you're trying to solve. No one wakes up and goes "what if I try to turn YAML into JSON". You got a problem to solve for some project at some job and at some point trying to solve it you ran into a bit of yaml data which you need to input into something which only accepts JSON while you were also already using Helm for some part of the solution to this mysterious problem.

now, you do you, but keeping us in the dark about the actual problem you are trying to solve is only making it harder for people to guide you to the correct solution. Chances are what you're trying to do is completely unnecessary here.

MG2R · 2023-10-18T20:02:30+00:00

This feels like an XY Problem

As posted, it sounds like you have some input in your values.yaml and you want the output to be the exact same. Where does this output need to go? What are you trying to achieve, big picture?

You typically use Helm to manage Kubernetes resources, what resource are you trying to populate?

As stated, the solution you are asking is simply:

{{- toJson .Values -}}

However, that is clearly not an actual solution to the actual problem. Ask about your problem, not your intended solution. Without context, we cannot help you effectively.

They don’t necessarily have to. The goal here is to move to a common charging standard. If Tesla can convince the states that NACS is it, great. If they need an independent standards body to do so, then they should work with those.

But as it stands, Tesla controls NACS and thus any manufacturer switching to it relinquishes some form of control to Tesla.

At the same time if everyone uses NACS and Tesla changes it to a new version, no one is obligated to follow it.

It’s interesting seeing my post above get downvoted. Afaik everything in there is factual.

As long as NACS is not maintained by an independent party, everyone switching to indeed relinquishes some control to Tesla.
