First of all: please stay polite and don't accuse people of dishonesty. Second: yes, the nuclear production is more than 50% of their electricity production. In that sense you are right. But the problem is what I wrote: it fell behind

It was not expensive compared to other commercial Lisp implementations. But the world has moved on and compared to other languages, the prices are unfortunately eye-watering for hobbyists/enthusiasts. Whichs is sad, as Lispworks is a n

I am confused. You say yourself, that in November they needed to import 8GW. Which was necessary because the nuclear power plants didn't produce enough electricity. It was even worse in summer, where they were not only dealing with rea

Well, thats a good point: they don't. Germany had to produce a lot of extra electricity to fill the gap left by too many French nuclear power plants not working. Fortunately they got some more back to the grid recently, but far too man

Yes, exercise helps. But it also can have the side effect on making people hungry. So if the other nutritional inbalances in the people are not kept within limits, the exercise might not be as effective.

Shitty efficiencies[1] haven't stopped us from using combustion engines in cars for a century. But while combustion engines use expensive fuel, these solar cells use sunlight, which is free. So which technology should we celebrate? [1]

Indeed, if you can, I would avoid buying a new car with a combustion engine. As your car should have some more useful life time, of course it doesn't hurt to keep it running for a while longer. This allows you to watch as the market fo

Well, if that garage has electricity, the electric car could charge and pre-heat there easily. Which would largely eliminate range-loss.

In that region, a large connected complex makes a lot of sense due to the climatic conditions. You can have one large cooled complex where you can travel without leaving the air conditioned area. Also, transport alternatives to cars become

No, the Greens have not declared war on single family homes. That was just the right-wing pitch on the observation by a green politician, that inside dense city regions, there is not enough real estate for single-family houses and that mult

Yes, it is crazy how much trash in form of bottles you generate with even modest but somewhat regular wine-drinking. For a whole crew of a ship that would be quite a logistical nightmare. Also, as France is such a huge wine-producer, it is

Because there are apps I would like to use on my iPhone which are prohibited by the current AppStore rules. For example something like Termux. So my szenario would be: 4. I mainly keep using the AppStore with the exception of selected apps

Nice to see this video pop up on HN, I had watched it just a few days ago. I still can remember the exciting reports of the Calypso's exploration on TV in the 70ies. Faszinating to see the background of how everything came to be. From

There are plenty of other renewables usable than solar. Wind power would be the obvious one, as wind is often a great complement to solar anyway. Then there are long-distance transmission lines, water power, energy from biomass. Finally, if

Eventually we have to get to zero net carbon emissions. But the worst case is just to create carbon based fuels from CO2 extracted from the atmosphere and use it in places/for uses which cannot be covered by renewable electricity direc

What I always find so disappointing is, that you might get an almost perfect image out of it, but then there is something decisive very wrong. Like a fifth leg on an anmial oder persons with 3 arms. Or the face completely missing in an othe

In the context of the discussion, I considered "function" to be referring to the body shape. The points you name are a different discussion. But most Teslas don't have a yoke. That is so far limited to the Model S.
438.
by _ph_ 4y ago
Depends on hat you consider "function". All Tesla vehicles are very aerodynamic. That means of course a bit less "practical" body shapes. Like lower headroom towards the back. So the question is, do you define functional

Yes, just exchanging batteries is an alternative to recharging. But it requires additional logistics and also the investment into additional batteries. There are of course scenarios, where battery change is the only practical way. Like it

Here in Europe, that is rather an exception. Also, sleeping while the other driver drives isn't considered as legal resting time. Only time outside the truck is considered legal resting time.

It will take a long time to make enough Semis to replace a large fraction of ICE trucks. So this will be a smooth transition where they are deployed first for duties which make it a nobrainer, like scheduled routes which are driven every da

by _ph_ 4y ago
Typically the drivers attention drops after 2-3 hours of driving, so it is recommended to take a break then. The legal limit for truck drivers in Europe is 4.5h of driving, after which there needs to be a break of at least 45 minutes. The m

I think there has been quite a few very fundamental enhancements to Emacs recently. The JIT which was added to 28 and now a pure GTk Emacs. This fixes some very long standing infrastructure issues and enables further exciting developments.

What is "your device"? and how do you run Emacs on it, if you are talking about an iPad?

This is so cute and cool! While I don't know, whether I want to play long Quake sessions on my watch, it shows that the Apple watch is a quite powerful compute device. Actually, it should be more powerful than most workstations of the

Yes, I want to be in a full blown Linux. With the complete software a Linux distribution brings (for me mostly Fedora) and of course the full GUI support.

Great news, I have been waiting quite some time for this! I am using VMware Fusion a lot on my Intel based Macs (most of my day-to-day work is on Linux in a VM) and just have been waiting for VMWare on ARM Macs. While I also have used Paral

Yes, and there is even an API to control the update process of the existing instances.

by _ph_ 4y ago
Seconded. I have been bitten far more often by too fancy abstractions then by not having more fancy abstractions in my tooling. And Go has quite a few fundamental ones, like first class functions and closures.

This depends on several factors. First of all, whether there is a Twitter in a few months. Elon might have fired too many people responsible for critical parts of the system, there might be a technical collapse. Even if not, we will have to
