I've also enjoyed Goodreads. It's almost a mirror image of FB in a sense: in Facebook, your friends often appear dumber than in real life. In Goodreads, only their reading is visible and that might make them appear smarter than yo

That is not correct, typical nameplate capacity is for the electrical power. There's of course a less-than-one capacity factor due to plant uptime, but with nuclear it can be more than 0.9.

For comparison, Olkiluoto 3 fission plant has been under construction for 13 years already. It's currently estimated to enter energy production a bit over one year from now.

Wow, I didn't know continental Europe is a single synchronized area. Here in the Nordics (Finland) our grid is separated from the neighbours via DC stations to eliminate the need to synchronize with everyone. Here you can see our grid

I typically have some development ongoing on one clone and use the other to do merging for releases and so on.

git clone uses hardlinks to reuse object storage if you clone a local repository. I use it when I need another working copy, that way you save some space. And time as well as you don't need to pull it all from the network. edit: Local

They seem to be nice devices, but they are made and mostly designed by Foxconn. Only thing from Nokia in those is the brand licensing.

They have no lack of farmland even now. They just have been very inefficient in utilizing it.

There is even a research paper related to this phenomenon. Microsoft Research researched Nigerian scam e-mails. Turns out intentionally dumb messaging does help in filtering out targets that might be too smart to fall for the scam. https:

We do have cheap energy (from nuclear and mostly renewable CHP), cheap cooling, availability of educated workforce and stable state. And good network connections to Russia in addition to Nordic and Baltic states and continental Europe.

They are also in process of building out in Finland ( https://www.cinia.fi/en/archive/hetzner-data-center-park-hel... ). There's a direct GER-FIN fiber link laid in the Baltic, owned partially by Hetzner ( http

If it's something they regularly fail to do, I think it's a fair point.

It's a useful reserve for potable water. If you have nuclear fallout coming down, it's not a given that you can trust the tap water to be clean, if it runs at all.

This is theoretically perfectly feasible. Currently, however, the capital costs of mining equipment are so high that it doesn't make sense to keep them offline.

I think situation was kind of the same with Vista and 7. Lots of the groundwork was laid in the first release but the later one was the more polished one that got the big sales.

Windows 2000 was a great OS, I preferred it over XP for as long as it was feasible. Back when Windows XP was released, activation was considered quite intrusive in privacy sense and Windows 2000 was the last release without it. Oh have time

Interesting. Does this work for USB-C enabled laptops, say the latest MacBook Pros? Or does Apple only support Thunderbolt over USB-C for display connections?

This is thought to be because of GNU Coding Standards: https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Reading-No... They wanted GNU implementers to be careful not to copy (even through their recall) AT&T UN

My first idea from the title was a historical product, something with RAM expansion, multi-user OS and hard drive. A minicomputer. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minicomputer )

There is no need for that prophecy to fulfill itself, because it is a fact that users don't read documentation. As Joel Spolsky noted, they rarely read even anything: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/26&

The thing is they get paid better than that by the advertisers for your attention. Their ARPU is estimated[1] to be $53 for 2016 and that is across all the users, not only people who are ready to spend money on online services. And as a fre

This brings to my mind some Sony Music executive defending their malware-enabling CD DRM - - "Most people don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care?"

A transaction receiver could be implemented with this technology without any internet connection. Just a satellite dish and dvb card would do. That could be useful for vending machines or similar things.

You generally get what you measure, so be careful to measure what you want to get. Isn't elevated heart rate connected to better health outcomes no matter what physical activity it comes from? Why should the insurance company care if s
