All of Berlin‘s district heating plants provide heat AND electricity. So the government owns a huge share of all electricity producers in this city now, too (about 60 % of the total production capacity). Whether this constitutes a monopoly

You are laughing. But the city of Berlin was not able to provide this service. Spending a day in the park or on the playground with kids and needing a rest room meant either hiding in a bush, going home early or to the next restaurant where

Well, it could buy them. If they had money left to spend. But Berlin pays for a lot of public services already because it is operated by politicians who cater to the same public that favors removing bill boards. As a result e.g. they just b

Worked out very well in clearing the city of advertisements or in improving the quality of life of its people because they see less public advertisement? In Berlin the largest bill board provider (Wall GmbH) also builds public toilets. Than

It sounds really interesting. But the only thing it does not do is scanning for vira/malwares, although this could be implemented using GRR I guess. How does Google mitigate malware threats in-house?

It was a binary data file (supposedly invalid) that caused the actual CS driver component to BSOD. However, they used the „sys“ suffix to make it look just like a driver supposedly to get Windows protection from a malicious actor to just de

By-passing the discussion whether one actually needs root kit powered endpoint surveillance software such as CS perhaps an open-source solution would be a killer to move this whole sector to more ethical standards. So the main tool would be

I love „Neo Turf Masters“ — which always has been Neo Geo exclusive AFAIK and possibly the best golf simulation if you don’t actually play Golf. There is a Switch „port“ which really is just emulating the console but a fun diversion from Ze

There is already a Debian port available for RISC-V platforms including 99% of its packages: https://wiki.debian.org/RISC-V IIRC even a port of Fedora Linux. So you could use it as a daily driver already — unless you need a

Run Debian Stable and install Flatpak. This provides exactly that kind of „different environment“ where bleeding edge software won’t break your system. (Of course, not everything is available as a flatpak. But hopefully that will improve

Hm. I see. But, ultimately, overfitting is a consequence of too many parameters absorbing the noise. Perhaps one could fit smaller models and add artificial noise.

Hm. The main criticism is you get locked into a cloud platform storing your private key(s) when using „passkeys“. This can be convenient as you can use your favorite smart phone to authenticate everywhere or even choose to rely on local TPM

I think the biggest advantage TypeScript gives is discoverability when using a language server driven development environment. Hover over a function and you’ll get its signature and doc string. This will work quite quickly due all of the ty

You are right, of course. I mixed it up because the leader of the „defenestrators“ — Count Thurn — resided in Karlštejn before the event. And I had a reference to him in a precursor of the post.

Unfortunately, this is purely convention and does not give a 100% guarantee of upgrading to latest minor versions not breaking your code.
