It seems to be a difficult situation: he has bug fixes against the version in the stable kernel for bugs which haven't been reported. I can see both perspectives: on stable you don't want to do development, but also you want all

To be precise: chromatic abberation is lowest at the center of the lens. But with glasses we often don't look through the lens center even if we have something in the center of our vision.

No, that doesn't normally happen. The link doesn't point to an executable. So the linked webpage caused the browser to download. At least there should be a warning.

The main body of Franc nuclear are old reactors which require increasing maintenance and extension of operations license to keep producing. If France planned to keep their nuclear power, a lot more reactors would have to be build quickly. R

Yes, roof-top installation is expensive, but if you combine it with other maintenance of the roof, it gets very cheap. And any new roof should have it planned in with the setup. Also, here the northern latitude helps, in Germany people star

The long-term plans are of course to get rid of coal and gas, as it will be the case world wide, if humanity wants to have a future. Part of that is, that EU-wide there are increasing costs to producing CO2. Which makes power from coal and

Well, the difference between residual and base load determines what kind of power plants you need. The wrong one doesn't help you. Yes, we will need more electricity, and renewables are the only way to facilitate that. They can be buil

You don't need to drill through the crust. A mile down the temperature will already be significantly up.

by _ph_ 2y ago
No. As nuclear power cannot compete price-wise with renewables and is also a bad companion to renewables, it is already internationally on a retreat. As mentioned by the sibling comment, "base load" isn't the relative term. &

Seconded. I can also just recommend Fedora.

The funny thing for me about this popping up from time to time is, that I like both Tcl and Scheme a lot. Each for their purpose. While certainly not beautiful and never ment to be an implementation language for large-scale applications, Tc

The irony is, Tcl stands for Tool Control Language, it was created to control the EDA tools of the time. So it is no coincidence, that it is popular in the EDA world. I,for myself, quite like it for the intended tasks. The other irony is, c

I strongly disagree. It doesn't render correctly on FireFox on my Mac. And while those animated pages might look cool, they are very bad on giving you information. The product looks really cool, but as a Apple Watch owner I would reall

There might be no connection to how many bulbs people use, but how powerful they are. If you make bulbs less efficient, people will uses higher-power bulbs. Like 100 instead of 60W. And if the dimmer bulb is good enough, why not use a 40W b

It wouldn't have to. 10k years ago, the sea level was way lower. At the end of the ice age, the sea rose by about 100m. The Dover strait was dry land during the ice age. So if those places were built long enough ago, they would have be

You are using the word "ideology". That isn't the hallmark of good arguments. But may be we can agree onto that the current government is trying to fix all the problems caused by the previous one. The problem wasn't shu

No, the government isn't "on a largely ideologically driven understanding of climate change prevention". The shutdown of the nuclear reactors was decided by the previous government in 2011 and never reconsidered. Yes, as par

LFP batteries are cheaper, very safe, and currently the most popular for storage and cars which don't need maximum range - the standard range Teslas are using them too. But Sodium based batteries are coming into the market and would be

That a non-electric bike is better for your health is often wrong. If you are very sporty, you are fine. But there are plenty of people who would get better exercise with an e-bike, as they are more likely to use it or just use the electric

I think the point about Tuxedo is, that they are selling the (rebranded) laptops with explicit Linux support. So you can have the trust, that things work. That is often the truth for many laptops, but few other manufacturers guarantee that.

Controlling population growth is mostly a red herring. In most countries births have already peaked. We can be quite sure that the total population will peak also quite soon. Also, any action taken would require many decades to show any dif

I think this isn't surprising. The fundamentals of the making of electric cars are obvious: they should become cheaper. Currently their price is dominated by battery costs and the costs of ramping up the production, but both are destin

I am sorry, but I think most of what you wrote is plain wrong. Yes, I agree, the total amount of energy used by humanity is going up. Especially as there are so many nations on earth which so far only use little energy. On the other side, i
