I haven't experienced the microphones on the ARM MBP 16", but with its Intel predecessor. And there the microphones are excellent and not drowned by fan noise (assuming of course, you don't run huge compute tasks in the backg

Most obvious explanation: the amount of money spent by Germany for energy imports, especially gas being bought on the sport market, has skyrocketed. That is a lot of money going to the balance without requiring the exports to be reduced - w

You are missing a very importand third point: Situation 3: we have understood the value of the proposed style of concurrency and think it is the right one for most situations, consequentely an according API has been created and it is strong

No, I didn't miss the point of the article. I just feel, it is important to note that the proposed style of concurency is available in go and point out to how you would implement it, if you cannot use this Python library. I would agree

Interesting article, which gives some good idea how to structure concurrent programs with less shooting at your feet :). A bit long winded until it comes to the actual core concept being presented: spawn concurrent routines within a block w

Well, that proves the point that just having a cheat sheet isn't a complete solution. And unfortunately, I am the co-worker more experienced with Git :p. Well not quite, I have a co-worker who is roughly on my level and we keep helping

Until you make the slightest mistake and your work area gets into a state not covered by the cheat sheet. But of course, the standard recommendation seems to be just to remove the work area and check it out again :p

At minimun, Microsoft could try for real. In 2019 Samsung announced the Galaxy Book S with an ARM processor. Looked like a nice compact laptop. I would have been interested in it, but it was basically never available and limited to Windows

Indeed, AC in private homes is still relatively rare. Of course, in recent years it became more fashionable. Also, a lot of houses in the traditional hot regions of Europe are built to be livable without air conditioning. In my eyes, he big

Yes, as bicycles/pedestrians are not as tall as trucks, the underpasses can be lower with all resulting benefits. So yes, the bikes probably should go under the cars. Doesn't mean however, that the cars couldn't go over a rai

Admittedly, bike lighting is a solved problem by now, one shouldn't bike where you cannot see. There is always the risk of an obstacle you wouldn't expect, could be even an injured person blocking the way. But of course, this does

Good question. Maybe not, maybe actually yes. Using animals for transplants gives place for all kind of discussions. But this pig only existed as it was raised for that purpose. Like basically all pigs, which are raised for meat production.

While I think that these kind of things shouldn't require a company to take any action in, this isn't "going so far as" in a country where medical care is basically tied to your job. If your company guarantees medical ca

No it practically has not, the republicans would immediately filibuster any attempt. And they will keep doing so by locking in enough states which means that the majority of the American people can vote what they want, it wouldn't chan

That sounds good in theory, but we know about the states where the republicans seemingly cannot be voted out of office - not helped by all their changes to the election system to prevent that. But indeed it would be ironic, if the public re

Do get states to decide on slavery again too? I think such fundamental, health and freedom-related questions should be decided on a national level.

ICE cars have to dissipate more than 100 kW of thermal energy and do so quite fine. The 7.2 kW are easy to cool in comparison. Of course that requires substantial fans as the cars are not moving while charging, but that is why they can get

Well, I was referring to the charging infrastructure and all current Tesla superchargers installed can deliver up to 250kW and Ionity here in Germany always installs 350kW chargers - that the battery of current cars cannot accept that for l

Right. And if you have batteries, which could take 700kW peak, but are only charged with 350kW peak, it is no longer "fast charging" in the sense of impact onto the battery. But the big future is anyway to have the car plugged int

First, ultra fast charging is really relevant only for intermediate stops on long-distance travel. There you have dedicated charging stations which are directly connected to high voltage lines which can deliver 10-100 MW. Modern charging st

This is not anti-car, it is about fighting climate change. And whataboutism doesn't help. We have to basically eliminate all sources of greenhouse-gas emissions to fight climate change. So yes, we need to make cars not emit CO2. And to

What ever the name says, it isn't paper white. Actually, I think there is little difference, the difference is the light, which makes the PaperWhite look whiter in normal light and enables reading in dim conditions.

I think the question whether to build a new collider deserves more than a simple "yes" and "no". Indeed, it looks as if particle physics right now is a bit in a dead end, there are no obvious and imminent discoveries to
