The curious case of adjacent difference If you have ever tried using the std::adjacent_difference algorithm in c++, I’m sure it left you puzzled. As the name suggests, this algorithm computes differences between adjacent elements of the input sequence, but it does one more thing: it copies the first element of the input sequence into the output sequence unmodified.

Americans’ junk-filled garages are hurting EV adoption, study says

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-07 02:44:44

There are plenty of reasons to be pessimistic about electric vehicle adoption here in the US. The current administration has made no secret of its hostility toward EVs and, as promised, has ended as many of the existing EV subsidies and vehicle pollution regulations as it could. After more than a year of month-on-month growth, EV sales started to contract, and brands like Genesis and Volvo have seen their customers reject their electric offerings, forcing portfolio rethinks.

Sometimes it takes a village to raise a window.
