you probably wouldn't want to ship that in the final image, but then again, if someone is capable of fiddling with the image, nothing stops them from writing these three lines of code, compile and add the binary to the image. So I don&

Thanks for taking the time for such a thorough response, I appreciate. Really interesting stuff!

Search for another job offer in a place you fancy, then talk to your manager about it. Either you're valued and suddenly the procedures won't be an issue, or you have found yourself another place to work. But take your time, no ru

I've myself tried to create a small simulation of water and erosion, and although very fun I found it extremely hard to implement. (so well done to you!) Is it a grid based system underneath? How do you calculate water displacement, is

Out of curiosity how does noise canceling works when on the device? I assumed it was only possible when on the headset as it needed to be measured and cancelled based on the direction of the sound. I'm failing how a device in your pock

Assuming the internet will soon mostly be generated content, and assuming this content is dull and soulless as you describe it, I'm wondering if it's not going to make the real world and interactions in person more interesting? I

For a given production of wind I would agree with you, but the installed capacity is only going to go up for the foreseeable, so the network needs to take that into account

by alex_duf 4y ago
Wind is always blowing somewhere on a continent. It's all about connecting countries together, storing a little bit, and pricing dynamically.

The only non-nuclear source would be geothermal, and maybe tidal I believe? The sun is literally a nuclear fusion reaction. Wind and hydro are an artefact of the sun + the motion of the planets. We could even stretch the argument that fossi

You mean solar in space specifically right? Because solar back on earth makes a lot of sense, whereas solar back in space to beam down on earth make no sense.

I know it's probably sarcasm, but just in case: I don't think they should, otherwise they could find themselves in a situation where an outage prevents them from fixing the outage.

I never thought about the idea of having a sort of "table buffer" being the source of truth before sending it to kafka. It does introduce a slight delay and extra complexity but I guess if consistency is that crucial it's pos

It's not fusion we need, it's cheap non polluting energy. Fusion _might_ become that cheap non polluting source, but right now we don't know. What we do know is: renewables are cheap right now. Now applied to hydrogen, we can

Thanks for pointing out it's only 3%. It's much less than I had pictured! (I also went to look it up after your comment). Let's imagine 3% of improved efficiency (they announce between 9 and 15%, but let's be conservativ

I guess if there's more drag but the water is more efficiently propelled towards the back it might still be worth it?

Would you have knowledge of how well that would scale on a cargo ship and what sort of savings we could see there?
321.
by alex_duf 4y ago
I'd love to know a real world figure on improved efficiency on cargo ships. If a "simple" innovation like that can move the needle juste by a few percent points on how much fuel we put into the transport industry, that's

I'm feeling the opposite way, would you like to share what makes you optimistic about it?

I'm assuming in this context OP made a reference to how solar + wind + battery is often seen as unreliable (intermittent). So by opposition hydro would be reliable. but describing renewables like wind and solar is missing the whole pic

I had one of these and indeed it was noisy. But only marginally noisier than a more recent Zoe.

You need to pick servers (providers) for emails. But we don't really think about it this much because we're used to it. The fediverse is built on a very similar type of network: federated servers, similarly to how gmail talks to y

At this sort of scale I don't think it makes a big difference that it hits Siberia, the middle of the Pacific, or wherever you're living. In fact maybe it's better to take it directly on your head.
