Moose are less of a problem in the UK than you might expect. ;) (I'll give you other animals though.)

I mean, probably what really matters is how slow things are compared to the network latency of a HTTP request. In web-development arguing about Go-Go vs CGo-Go times is probably inconsequential.

I love this idea! I've always wanted to be able to play blindfolded but have never persisted with more than a few opening moves. Two features I'd like, training on well known openings and to be able to occasionally "uncover&

The problem as I see it is that for EVs more of the total cost of ownership is in the inital purchase price so they are very expensive to buy new. That means that the used price can also quite high because of that initial purchase price. Fo

Sure, we wouldn't have ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess if it wasn't an occasional issue.

Yeah I had a little Carry-I PC XT clone with CGA/Hercules graphics, V20 8088 and an amber screen that I really regret selling. I guess it couldn’t really do that much at the time compared to Amigas, STs and Acorns but there was somethi

Given the name I was hoping this would be something specific to Arm hardware. Oh well I guess the Archimedes wasn’t that we’ll known.

This is pretty cool. I could see the use in other disaster hit areas or even just large public gatherings like sports events or festivals where network coverage is temporarily a bit patchy.

It will interesting to see how companies like Facebook, X and Google react to tools like this. This could be thought of as an LLM reading a webpage for you without interfering with its operation and writing a new one without the crap. Afte

I think the dream for a lot of us is a job that doesn’t feel like work. Why not work on something that might have value in your free time? Worst case scenario it’s just a hobby. Best case scenario it’s a hobby someone will pay you to do.

Alienation from labour is a perfect description. I once worked for a start up that got taken over. In the process all retained staff lost their options. I don’t think the options were really worth that much so I guess we were supposed to ju

Is there anything that Vodafone customers can do legally to punish Vodafone or not delivering on their broadband contracts? If you're paying for a 1Gbps connection and Netflix is only able to stream to you at 0.93 Mbps because Vodafone

Yes, I agree. I was careful about how I worded this to avoid saying anything about the motors actually being in the wheels for this reason. Although, I guess at some point in the future if we can get the weight down low enough and the stre

Not a game changer but I wonder if ligher motors allow you to do things like have one motor per drive wheel, removing the need for differential gearboxes? Then you can do clever things with traction control without having to use the ABS sys

I wonder, how hard would it be to make a vacuum insulated oven like a big thermos flask? I know this is “low-tech” but still think it might be possible to fabricate something even if it means spending some of your power budget maintaining t
