Having a 2nd trustworthy router consumes extra energy, but maybe it's worth it. More than once my router made an update and silently disabled the pi-hole. Having a fully configured spare pi-hole in a box also helps. Another time my pi-

I think just setting up Unbound is even less trouble. Servers come and go. Getting rid of the dependency altogether is better than having to worry who operates the DNS-servers and how long it's going to be available.

If you're worried about methane, then maybe you should look at the spectrum of methane. You'll be surprised...

That discussion on Stackexchange has something like 6 upvotes. And if you read it, the comments there are mostly ridiculous. The absorption is logarithmic beyond 8000 ppm, and someone there e.g. whines about that Wijngaarden doesn't ex

1967 is pretty ancient... Nowadays there are databases and there are detailed calculations about the spectrum (line by line). There is HITRAN database. And people did the calculations. And have done so for years... There are pretty precise

The spectrum still is like it is. Even Cancel culture won't change it. Please read some papers about the subject... I was pretty shocked to see what kind of quality you find there... (Nothing but a little bit of quibbling, and also a l

Or we should start reading books about atmosphere physics. Taking a look at the infrared spectrum and checking out what's really going on there is worth it... https://co2coalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2022&#

China seems to have even more scales.. myriad scale - based on 10.000 mid-scale - based on 10⁸ long scale - based on doubling of exponent (4, 8, 16, 32, ..)

Maybe it's not measured criticism, but that doesn't mean that something is true or false. Today there are serious problems with academia and criticism in general. Also Cancel-Culture nowadays is big. I know enough good scientists

Germanic languages have special words up to 12. So I'm really surprised that the Babylonians didn't have a special symbol for 12. Something like that would have been really nice for a clock.

I think the ear relies more on resonance (unrolled it's like a stretched rubber triangle). The higher you go, the more it reacts on higher frequencies. This one here seems to just use passive reflection to get the effect.

Interesting, that it's all standard base-10. A Number system based on 12 could have been a good fit for a base-60 time. Babylonians/Sumerians invented base-60, and didn't have special characters for 10, 11 (and maybe 12)? Rea

The essence is that each frequency alone is eventually saturated. (can't absorb more than everything). If you add more CO2 you'll start to absorb more in new frequencies, but the effect is getting smaller. To calculate how much th

If you look more, you'll most likely find more discussions. The things on StackExchange are a bit lame. There was a blog somewhere that posted about climate data for about a decade and had a discussion going on for maybe 2 months... I

Mass Hysteria is seriously dangerous. A few years ago I've seen a full room of people applauding Military for ordering more tanks. ("Enough to have those shot down by Russia in the calculation"). And young German politicians

Most likely it depends on what you want to do. I used LibreOffice a lot (mainly Calc). A lot of areas were surprisingly buggy, but in some important areas it had more advanced features than Excel and performance was great. One thing I learn

Nice. Writing code is very different. People mostly seem to train English word-lists to increase wpm. But for code you constantly have to deal with new words, prefixes and special characters. Awkwardly placed special characters on the keybo

by adornKey 1y ago
Maybe some people confused wpm and characters per minute... For writing software having 100% accuracy with numbers and special characters is more important than speed. I don't think 100 wpm is real for coding.

Performance is not a hack. Title is wrong... ;-) Interfaces are indeed much nicer, but you have to make sure that your program language doesn't introduce additional overhead. Don't be the guy that makes Abstract Factory Factories

Parametric modelling isn't really there in Blender, but Blender is too good to not use. And it is still improving at an astonishing rate. For me Blender has all I need for creating Models for 3D-Printing. And if e.g. Geometry-Nodes get

I now use PostmarketOS as a daily driver on the old standard Pinephone, and it looks good to me. After trying a few recent distributions PostmarketOS seemed to work best. Before PostmarketOS I used Arch on a Pinephone Pro for 2 years, but I

Finally somebody did it! Back in the day my attempts to write a game in SQL were thwarted by buggy query-optimizers. They cached my calls to rand() way too often although documentation promised not to do that.

I've heard, that this approach works very well with "troublemakers". Maybe this is the selection bias. For communication with less emotional non-troublemakers there's less demand for professional advice.

Yes. That's surprising. Community events for Free Pascal have been very healthy and growing. Some old people from the community have died in recent years, but somehow even more new people showed up. It's not big, but the community

CIEXYZ (CIE 1931) had the best brightness axis ever. But the hunt for the best color-axis seems to be ongoing. CIE 1960, CIE 1964, CIELAB/CIELUV 1976... CIECAM02 CIECAM16 seem to be new iterations. Maybe those are good now?

Supermarkets also sometimes play with the light around the vegetables. Some areas have so much red in the light that you better take the items to a different area to be able to see if they are yellow or orange.

People were always tribal. You just call out a group to be evil. And it takes just a little bit of propaganda and people will ignore any rational arguments and start harassing a group. Witch-hunts (last conviction in Europe was 1944), jews,
