Tesla offers a $350 retrofit turn signal stalk after removing it from the Model 3

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-17 02:30:34

Leave it to Tesla to charge its customers for a feature it purposely left out. The company is now selling an almost $350 retrofit turn signal stalk for its Model 3 cars after removing from the initial model. Instead, it used buttons to activate the turn signal. As of now, the add-on is only available in the Chinese market. But, Model 3 drivers will need to shell out another 2,499 yuan ($348) to get a normal part of almost every car. However, there's a slight catch: The turn signal stalk is only

How to Use Snprintf

news.ycombinator.com Max Bernstein 2025-11-14 00:53:39

The sprintf family of functions ( sprintf , snprintf , vsnprintf , …) have this little-known feature to what size your buffer should be. In cases where you don’t have a fixed upper bound, this is really useful. For example: int size = snprintf ( /*str=*/ NULL , /*size=*/ 0 , "%d: %s" , some_int , some_c_str ); if ( size < 0 ) abort (); int size_with_nul = size + 1 ; char * buf = malloc ( size_with_nul ); if ( buf == NULL ) abort (); int result = snprintf ( /*str=*/ buf , /*size=*/ size_with_nu

Aspirin Not Working for Your Headache? Experts Say These Foods Could Provide Relief

What do you do when you have a headache or migraine? Many reach for a bottle of aspirin, but that might not always provide relief. While it's not a miracle cure, the food you eat may help reduce your head pain when considered along with your hydration, exercise, sleep and stress management.

Sikkim and the Himalayan Chess Game (2016)

At the height of the Indo-Pakistan war, in mid-September 1965, Britain’s ITN broadcast a 15-minute report from what they called ‘another potential starting point for a Third World War’. The images were not of Indian and Pakistani soldiers in disputed Kashmir. Instead, the dramatic footage showed Indian and Chinese soldiers 14,000 feet up on the other side of the Himalayas, on either side of the border between the Kingdom of Sikkim (an Indian protectorate perched between Nepal and Bhutan) and Chi

New Study Fuels Debate Over World-Changing Comet Strike 12,800 Years Ago

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-11-18 02:10:34

Roughly 12,800 years ago, as Earth was emerging from its last great ice age, temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere suddenly plummeted back to near-glacial conditions. The cause of this abrupt shift—known as the Younger Dryas cool period—remains a mystery to this day, but new evidence may give credence to its most controversial explanation. Researchers analyzed sediment cores extracted from the seafloor of Baffin Bay near Greenland, finding indicators of a cosmic impact event inside the layer

But skeptics point to practical issues we may not be trying hard enough to solve—issues that will inevitably weigh down our reactors when they finally arrive.
