Yeah, as a Scandinavian it is often hard to understand how people can feel that their existence is a secret. We've had public and fairly rich (family relations, profession) census data for hundreds of years. Tax records, school grades,

What's the point of a three year window? It seems like a weird middle-point. Either you are in a position to choose/install your own interpreter and libraries or you are not. If you can choose your own versions and care at all abo

I guess the benchmarks are run on nightlies from 3.15 dev branch? It doesn't say on the website. I did some tests with 3.15-dev on my own reference benchmark a few days ago and noticed that the JIT is finally making a positive impact.

No need to bring the poor into the discussion. Of course they can't afford paying an equal share of their income as someone with average or above average income. In the grandparent post I was first replying to, the poster stated that t

Other EV:s have service inspections as part of the warranty requirements. That means they get inspected by workshops, which means that problems are more likely to be first found during the government inspection. I don't think the actua

What I am trying to disagree with, is the notation that it is unfair if high-earners and very-high-earners hand the same proportion of their wealth and income over to the government. My take on the wealth-cap is that it isn't about fai

You pay the same proportion, not the same amount. 40% of 1M is 10x more than 40% of 100k. Disregarding all technicalities about what proportion people actually end up paying after performing clever tax planning. Why are you sure that someon

The cars are extremely expensive and they have a 100 billion investment to recoup. I assume they are still losing money on each ride.

That Linksys card feels out of place in an over-the-top late 90s build. As I recall it, the local LAN scene had an almost religious cult around 3com 10mbit ISA cards, that eventually morphed into a similar thing for Intel 100mbit cards. Dri

Thanks for the that bit of info! I was surprised by the speed difference. I have always assumed that most variations of basic string formatting would compile to the same bytecode. I usually prefer classic %-formatting for readability when t

My experience is that when people say "private cloud", they usually mean a VPC or similar that is located on somebody else's computer. I'm sure some people use the term correctly, at least sometimes!

From what I've seen of Skywise, it is just a glorified SharePoint. Different systems upload CSV files that get turned into database tables. Then you can define views across these tables that other systems can consume by having them dum

Is the €30 usage fee going directly to the producer of electricity, or is part of it a variable transmission fee that goes to the network operator? My monthly electricity bill in Sweden, averaged over a year to 1600KWh/month, is approx

I don't feel that AQI in reasonably normal ranges corresponds at all to the subjective experience of how nice the air feels to breathe. The best breathing I've done was in Mumbai. Felt like a silk blanket both in the lungs and on

That is the last 2.7 patch from PSF. Other reputable organizations keep making new patch releases for as long as there are paying customers. Not just the big legacy distros. E.g. https://github.com/ActiveState/cpython

I pulled into a Supercharger with my LFP-battery EV last winter. The temperature outside was -15C and I had not set the navigator so there was no pre-warming activated. By the time I had finished my coffe, SoC had gone from 30-ish to 90-ish
