Browsing the Web w/o propper AdBlock/SocialBlock is a thing I don't understand. Also deleting Cookies everytime the browser closes is a must for me. But yes i see what you mean when i watch yt on my mobile.

Not to be confused with Ripple (payment protocol) invented by Ripple (Ripple Labs, Inc.) which trades Ripple (XRP).

Don't think so.

Yep. Instead of the seals on the rotor, the seals are on the chamber (much better cooling and lubing opportunities). Instead of the intake/exhaust ports in the chamber, the intake/exhaust goes through the rotor (at first...)

For the PowerMac G5 there was a App which made the powersupply play a audible song, by modulating the CPUs power draw. I guess it used coilwhine.

Not what I wrote. I never send in untested patches, because I don't start writing patches if I cant easily compile it myself in the first place. Also, this was not specifically targeted at llvm but all open source software which may no

It's the most important rule in my opinion. Master must always compile and pass tests. I'm glad sending patches or looking into bugs whenever I find them in OSS but having to jump through hoops just to get things compiled is a big

I was hoping on some news on those, too. Only this sentence on the page that's interesting. Quote: The aluminium battery pack casing was flexible in design to allow for a variety of possible sizes and types of battery cell solution to

Well OpenBSD has this "dumb" rule that snapshots/releases are never cross compiled and be done on real hardware. So it's pretty much a rule that every hardware platform has to be self hosting. Microcontrollers are the ex

I think you have it backwards. Days are getting longer. So assuming tidal lock with Sun in the future which means 1 year = 1 day (1 revolution per year). So how long until 1 day becomes 365 days long. Assuming the 30min per 70M years is lin

I'm well aware that there are no mountains at 40k feet. Well airplane autopilots can avoid obstacles... about time after 100 years of development. (The first aircraft autopilot was developed by Sperry Corporation in 1912. The autopilot

And it'll fly happily into a mountain or other plane, if unmonitored. Now the problem is streets are a little more crowded.

by ben_bai 7y ago
There are different autopilots for planes. They differ in capabilities. Mostly the pilot sets a heading, altitude and speed and the airplane will maintain that. The main collision avoidance system is Air Traffic Control telling the pilot wh

3/4th of the earth surface is covered by water. Total oil mining since 1850s is estimated between 100-150 billion metric tons. If you pump out 150 billion metric tons of sea water from the oceans the sea level will drop 0.5mm (1/5

I agree, looking at long term health, injurys and deaths. Coal is the worst and Nuclear the best source of energy. https://ourworldindata.org/what-is-the-safest-form-of-energy Personally I would like to see new and safe Nuc

The scale is way too small for it to matter. Also burning hydrogen you get water as exhaust. So it's a closed loop.

We need to buy coal and gas also. Closed down all the coal mines, and coal is the only resource Germany has in its territory. We are very dependent at the moment. We are at 46% renewable energy, but without proper storage that's just a

Because the anti-nuclear mindset is too strong in Germany. We are still affected from the Chernobyl disaster (still can't eat wild boar, still can't eat mushrooms from certain areas). The nuclear waste problem is also not solved a

Absolutely, a lot of those wind turbines in the north sea are still not connected to the power grid because of missing infrastructure. They need to be turned by diesel generators, to not corrode. https://www.spiegel.de/inter

Basically the same reasons i had 20 years ago when I switched from Microsoft Windows to Linux. Except for the money reason, which in the era of Win98, Win2k wasn't that big of a problem.

There is SW already to subtract satellite trails from pictures. And astronomers have stated that it's not a big deal yet. But 42000 extra satellites might be too much. Nobody knows, everybody is worried, lots of talk.
