This is also my experience. I like JIRAs search, and writing experience better. And the integration with Github & Bitbucket is lovely also.

Well, the Mankala model is not a problem. And most likely Olkiluoto 3 had a reasonable business case before the cost overruns. So the question is more or less: is the real price of nuclear the price that was hoped for Olkiluoto 3 or the act

Well, I looked up "Mankala model", so for TVO and Olkiluoto the investors and the consumers are largely the same - which means that the investors/consumers will just directly over-pay for the electricity, by having a larger

Finland doesn't guarantee prices for nuclear for some period? That sounds unlikely. The Hinkley Point plant in the UK was recently guaranteed a very high "strike price" to get it built https://en.wikipedia.org/

The (spot)-market price on Nordpool is mostly related to variable costs, and doesn't really cover construction and other fixed costs. That energy generators need a higer price than spot-price doesn't really warrant calling it &quo

I got the Dell XPS 13 in 2013 and I was pretty satisfied. Great screen, speedy disk etc. In ubuntu 16.04 the touchpad works great, and I think the latest XPS models have larger and better touchpads. Linus also ended up buying an XPS 13 rece

I recently updated and played with Ubuntu 16.04 on my 2013 Dell XPS 13. Everything worked surprisingly well. Two finger scroll, tap to click etc. It is fast and smooth. However, I don't need 32GB RAM enough for that to be a deciding fa
