Not everything is the US, though. In The Netherlands in 2022 the most sold car was the Peugot 208, followed by the Kia Picanto. I’m sure a simplified electric car would do great here.

Not sure which country you’re from, but if you’re Dutch you can check Tweakers: https://tweakers.net/servers/aanbod/ If you have a big order, I’m sure most sellers speak English and might be willing to ship outsid

See the GitHub: https://github.com/wal-e/wal-e Unmaintained would’ve made more sense to say, but the maintainer choose the words “obsolete” so I took those. :) Seems to be obsolete due to a lack of interest and contrib

We are currently moving to CNPG and have tried CrunchyData and Zalando in the process. The other two we abandoned while trying it out. Zalando: - Relies on WAL-E which is now obsolete - Documentation all over the place - Hacky setup that de

Carbonara, or when (by miracle) short on carbonara ingredients something like Cacio e Pepe or Aglio e olio. It’s simple, quick and oh so good. Enough time to make a really quick salad in between too.

Prometheus will always pull metrics from a metrics exposing endpoint. However, Prometheus can then push metrics to anything that has the proper integrations for remote writing[0]. So you could run Prometheus in Agent Mode [1] in your DC to

I don’t understand and have been going through the comments in hope for an explanation.

What would multisce entropy prove about this pattern? I’m not even sure how you’d apply it. Iirc, multiscale entropy is specifically for timeseries.

Objectively, there’s a recent push to try and refer to suicide as if it’s an illness instead of a deliberate act. This is because when thinking of suicide, thinking is often impaired due to comorbid illnesses. Therefor, people who die of su

But then in your effort to eat less meat, would you replace it with plant-based alternatives? Personally, I cook without any alternatives and just make proper dishes with no meat. Then, once in a while, I’ll get some better locally sourced

I think you’d be surprised! I have a Dell Workstation from work (Specifically a Linux supported one, whatever that means) using linux and my personal Macbook Air M1 is running Asahi Linux. I really ran into no issues, the experience was alm

Sorry for my late response. Anyway: I get your point. However, this is worked on by researchers who get paid to work on unsolved problems. This is one of them. It's a surprising one, since it looks like such a simple and obvious effect

I doubt Vim helps my productivity. At least, I’m sure if I dropped vim I would be learn to be just as fast in whatever I ended up using. It’s just the ergonomics and easy customizability. Keybindings are in all editors, but in vim I don’t h

What can GNOME do to still chase after power users? I genuinely don’t see what it has to add to powerusers. There’s great window managers and CLI/TUI tools, is there anything GNOME could offer for non-beginners that’s not already done

Is driving in an urban area really great for the driver? Genuine question, btw. Everytime I’ve driven in EU capitals, I’ve been more frustrated than ever while driving. In every scenario walking, cycling or a tube would’ve felt more pleasan

Hah, funny! I genuinely did not notice until you mentioned it and I reread the sentence using ‘are’. Extra funny because I’ve been caught noticing myself using english plurals in my native language. (so for 'lantaarnpaal' the plur

Same here in NL. Just a few years ago there were reports of wolfs wandering around and I think last year the first wolves were born here again. Currently there’s talking about using paintball guns to keep them away from farms.

Kind of ironic, but the picture used seems to be of a raven - not a crow. Feathers on the beak are quite far out, the shape of the head isn’t as “streamlined” and the top beak is more curved and longer. Or am I mistaken here?

UK seems to be in a different boat due to Brexit. While definitely suffering from the same issues as the EU, they're not in a place to bounce back. Even before the current crisis, it was looking increasingly gloom. See also the wikiped

Why a BIOS option? I don’t see why laptop keyboards can’t just ship with programmable firmwares. I think ZSA is showing with their Oryx GUI just how easy it can be for an end user.

This was also my experience in Finland. There were warning signs in some rented sauna’s for jumping into the snow or water after a sauna for people suffering from cardiac problems. No note about sauna use in general.

Breathing, eating, drinking and sleeping are also hallmarks of mass shooters and incels. I even hear they cloth themselves frequently. In all seriousness; that is a really toxic take. I’m surprised to find it on HN, where I feel constructiv

I switched from Spotify to AM and I still wouldn’t switch back. There’s some weird bugs for sure and the lack of switching between devices is annoying. Sometimes I’ll accidentally leave it running in my laptop and then when I’m on my phone

They are hugely popular in my city (and others in dense populated cities/cities with high student populations). I think a major reason is thought: - They’re all entering the same market at the same time doing huge marketing campaigns.

Point three is great! To add my own experience; I often got distracted when a task seemed “too hard”. Out of a fear of failure I didn’t start the task but due to ADD or whatever I never realised it was anxiety that was causing it. Knowing c

I think it’s dangerous to say you should never take benzos. People and their mental states are different. For people with anxiety and panic attacks, benzo’s are literal lifesavers.
