One wonderful thing after WW2 is the French-German friendship developed. They are the closest partner and together an important cornerstone of the EU. And of course, in contrast to Germany, France has nuclear weapons.

France isn't building enough new reactors to replace all the aging ones - at best this can delay the exit from nuclear power. Whether Netherlands is going to see through building new reactors has to be seen.

One might discuss prolonging the life-time of the reactors still operating and bringing back the ones switched off a few weeks ago. But this might be more difficult to do than it sounds, as their end-of-lifetime was planned long ago so they

That assumes you have the space to put something behind you like a green screen.

For electric bikes, that also require the user to pedal to get propulsion, the limit is 25km/h.

They aren't in the middle of nowhere, but usually quite a bit away from city centers, for safety reasons. Too far for a hot water line to be practical.

For the "why" you would ask him, but didn't he stress in his speech yesterday, that he considers the whole Ukraine a part of Russia? So yes, if the Russian troops do nothing beyond settling the status, it might be good for t

If Russia were threatened by an aggressive neighbor nation they would have no chance to defend against, I think there would be quite some support from Germany too. But currently Russia is the nation invading Ukraine. (And of course, most Ge

I don't think this is the core problem, that would have been to build a nuclear reactor so close to a major city, that you could run a pipe to it.

Right, but then you might have to carry another device where just an app on the iPad would have been sufficient. Not to mention, that you would have to buy another device. And while that sounds like an incentive to Apple not to provide thos

Sure you could heat with nuclear directly. Actually that sounds like something that should have been done when nuclear was in fashion. But you would have to produce a lot of new infrastructure and most of all, new nuclear plants. None of th

The one-child policy over many years was not only successful in stopping the population growth but also completely distorted the age structure of the population. So a large part of the Chinese population is going to retire in a few years le

One of the the connections to Russia that kept giving diplomacy a base is, that Russia always was a reliable supplier with gas, as was the Sovjet Union even during the cold war. Equally, Europe is a good customer. Fundamentally such trade i

Yes, of course you can heat with electricity - and using heat pumps this is definitely the future. However, the amount of nuclear available would make only a small difference here. It should be much easier to just buy gas internationally an

No, certainly not. First of all, Germany does care about the Ukraine. Both on a political level as on a social one. Many Germany have friendships with people from Ukraine. I myself have several in my wider social circle. There is also the E

Nuclear plants are not a real replacement to gas. First of all, a lot of gas gets used for heating - nuclear isn't useful there. Then it is used for providing flexible power, to ramp up and down as quickly as possible to follow the pro

The gas deal with China is only a fraction of what Europe buys at the moment.

It wasn't the German navy, it was the ranking admiral which had been removed from office immediately, as there was a strong disagreement with his statements.

Gas is one of the few large sources of income in Russia. Reducing the gas trade is one of the few really direct sanctions possible. Even if it comes at a price, it is way better than to start shooting.

It is dead for all purposes unless the political climate changes radically. Whatever the Russian plans for a gas supplier to Germany were, they are limited to what the existing pipelines can deliver. I hope, we can reduce the dependency on

Right. And that is why many in germany oppose it. With the recent developments, it might be dead completely.

First of all, just having a full-blown shell with a text terminal would make the iPad much more usefull for small programming tasks. Then I can't see a reason why it couldn't run an X or Wayland desktop full-screen in a VM app, pr

Sorry, what do you want to say with that? I was talking in general, why Git repositories might contain commits which precede the creation of Git by a large amount. And I am sure, while no one committed the code in 1972 to any kind of reposi

by _ph_ 5y ago
Obviously, code that old couldn't have been originally committed to git. But it is quite common to have old repositories migrated to git and one would expect the original time stamps been maintained after the migration.

I haven't tried that. I have ran the same Go-Gtk program on Linux and Mac, but recompiled on both systems.

There are nice Gtk bindings for Go, give it a try. Feels quite native.

Well, France has 58 mostly old reactors and have 1 under construction and now announced 6 more. To keep their current level of nuclear production, they would have to build like 40 in the next 20-30 years.

I think that part about the yoke feels is incorrect. MCAS only changes the trimming and that changes the yoke force required when trying to maintain the same angle of attack.
