Oh cool I didn't realize! I thought it was just half. Well, this time of year that's to be expected I guess

Ha! I had that thought too! hhMMdd is how Americans do it, right?

After staring at it some more, I'd suggest perhaps switching places between the day of month and month of year circles. That way you would have consistently smaller unit of time=smaller circle.

This is awesome! I kinda wanna make one that adapts even more to your location: lengthen and shorten the light part of the circle according to your local sunrise and sunset times! Unfortunately that kinda sorta breaks the neatness of displa

Given the similarity in "inspired by" projects, how does this compare to iced? I've found iced to be surprisingly mature in every aspect I've tried, except the documentation, which is severely lacking

That tweet by Timothy Snyder is quite ridiculous. There's just no way that's the motivation behind all this. Unfortunately it's also the only motivation anyone has presented that there is any real hope of actually achieving.

Heh, I had a similar situation once, but my bank wouldn't let me block the transactions. So I switched banks. It was a interesting call with my previous banks support folks.

I had to stop reading halfway through this article, my straw allergy had me sneezing uncontrollably at all the strawmen in there!

Are you ever going to produce a source that backs up any of your statements? Read the Wikipedia article, that's the minimum amount of research required for any subject. Instead you've cited a lobby groups "illustrative number

The standard hotel experience is sitting wrapped in a towel and longing for my winter coat! Actually I would probably feel similarly in this study, 73°c is really cold for sauna. 90°c-100°c is the sweet spot

Wait, are you saying nuclear is bad because the reactors will produce energy for a long time? Stop and think about that argument for a second

If you want to become self sufficient in electricity, the number of sun hours matters more than anything else. Low temperatures just means you need more insulation, and possibly geothermal of it gets too cold for a regular heatpump.But try

Your source provided several numbers for nuclear. One is $34/MWH, which is a average cost of existing plants, another number is $169/MWH a number they describe as "Represents illustrative LCOE values for Vogtle nuclear plant’

I like the topics! "Grpc-native microservices" is a wonderful piece of nonsense!

by amarant 6mo ago
Where are you getting those numbers? I can't find a single source that quotes levelized cost of new nuclear above €150/MWH for newly constructed nuclear? Some put it below €100/MWH! Wikipedia for example puts it at $97/M

According to Google, that's 46N, which puts you south of Paris(which is at 48N)! That's not comparable to Scandinavia at all! This video does a good job of illustrating just how much further north Europe is than most people think

That very much depends on where in Canada you are! Canada is huge, and parts of it are further north than even Northern Sweden! But from what I understand most Canadians live in the southern end of the country, which is comparable to German

Aye, that was the argument back when replacement was on the table. Now we need to build, and we need to build everything. All the wind, solar, and nuclear we can afford to build. I'd leave coal as a last resort, and oil is absolutely c

Compare it to Swedish electricity prices in the winter which are around SEK 3/kWh, or roughly €300/MWh. Are you offering to cut my energy bill in half? Yes please!

This sounds nice and all, but also very very hard in Scandinavia. Not impossible though, there's at least one guy who's done it! https://h2roadtrip.com/mr-hydrogen-sweden-lives-almost-a-dec... Rather extreme, bu

There is very little hope. Restarting plants that have been offline for years is not simple, and building new ones is a decades long venture. Either approach would take too long.

I've been saying exactly this since around 09. Glad to see the rest of Europe is finally catching up. Yes we should turn to renewables as much as possible, but we should replace fossil powerplants first, and then nuclear. I'm hone

That's true. The inversion of the quote is that good ideas require lies to lose public acceptance. Well, there's a lot of lies flying around lately. So it happens.

I think you just reinforced the articles point. Coal power needs lots of lies to justify it, as per your own statement. That is in fact because coal energy is a terrible idea . It has 0 upsides compared to renewable alternatives, and is on

You have not seen my recent WhatsApp chats. Me and a pal are talking about what we're doing with Claude code, and it's quite interesting! Just like discussions about traditional programming never were only about syntax and type sy

Once I was tempted to say that those comments themselves were written by llms, but honestly I've yet to find a model quite so uncreative as that.

Yeah I think for the not-so-tech-savvy gamer, there are better distros than Ubuntu. Ubuntu(and Debian) tend to lag behind the cutting edge a bit too. For such users I'd probably recommend fedora (or one of it's variants) or just s
