One of the toughest things to judge when considering a new job or a new role is, basically, “Will this crush my soul?” Here’s a simple list of questions you can ask to help improve the odds that your next gig will be less soul-crushing: https://anildash.com/2026/01/12/will-that-job-…

“Users should be able to use any car with any charger and service. In addition to technical standards and grid codes,
we need user choice in legislation.”
That's what I wrote last week about #V2G (bidirectional charging).

Out of the sandbox: How to scale vehicle-to-grid in Europe
RAP expert, Jaap Burger, recommends steps for Member States to create a healthy ecosystem for vehicle-to-grid charging to scale.

Question for car people about regenerative braking (which occurs when the vehicle is either coasting, OR I am applying the brakes). Is regenerative charging binary (ON or OFF) or analog (regenerative braking intensity along a scale)?
Scenario: I drive a Toyota hybrid. I am coasting or going downhill, and I am getting regenerative braking (battery charging). Now I feel the need to apply my brakes to slow down even further. Does physically applying the brakes boost the amount of regenerative braking I am getting, or not? 🧐

Measure theory via Locales
We present an approach to measure theory using the theory of locales. This includes concrete constructions of measure algebras associated to Radon measures, such as the Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$, via Grothendieck topologies constructed from valuations, that circumvent the classical approach via $σ$-algebras. As an application we obtain a functorial construction of the induced measure $μ_*$ on the locale of sublocales $\mathfrak{Sl}(X)$ of a Hausdorff space $X$ equipped with a Radon m…

Seul.
Mon père, perdu dans ses souvenirs, devant la maison de ses parents qu'il avait connue il y a 60 ans. trois semaines avant qu'un méchant crabe l'emporte par surprise.
Un jour, je raconterais ce road trip de la mémoire qu'on a fait mon père et moi.

“When you hear her voice, you can’t unhear it,”
says the award-winning Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania,
whose new Oscar-shortlisted film,
"The Voice of Hind Rajab", incorporates recordings of Rajab’s emergency calls
to depict responders’ race-against-the-clock attempt to save her
— and the ultimate failure of the international community to prevent her violent death.
Ben Hania says the film, a hybrid of documentary and drama,
is an eff…

“The Voice of Hind Rajab,” Shortlisted for Oscar, Uses Audio of 6-Year-Old Girl Killed in Gaza
Two years ago this month, the world was gripped by a series of shocking recordings of a 6-year-old girl in Gaza pleading for help as she sat trapped in a car riddled with bullets alongside the bodies of her cousins, aunt and uncle, who had just been killed by Israeli forces as the family attempted to flee the Israeli ground invasion of Gaza City. Emergency responders with the Palestine Red Crescent Society attempted to secure safe passage to rescue the child, an elementary school student named …
