GIMP is infuriatingly good. Its mostly great but has some weirdness that ruins everything in the end. Its issues are like the Spam in that Monty Python sketch. My personally biggest issue I run into almost every time I try to use it is the

sure - probably yes. but blankly giving them the benefit of doubt and just saying that they actually are better if they haven't lauched anything to orbit when comparing them to another company that launches stuff is not wise.

Your description sounds like the early expeiences on the GO and similar devices. Roomscale really made that go away for me but I pretty much still get sick with say any Car racing simulation or similar. Anything that lets you stand and mov

Maybe combine the two - Have the applicant do a small task then talk about it. Maybe give them a slightly dubious direction then see if they followed to the letter or deviated and their reasoning for it. I am having an interview next week a

nobody specifically wants shitty us style suburban planning with shitty us style houses. Plus it would hard to replicate that because its an artifact of historical cultural and political developments. In short it would be harder to replicat

its a ground effect plane - they can be a bit more efficient vs traditional ferries and airplanes especially in a role were it just relatively short hops between islands. Also since its effectively float-able by design it has the potential

I think its a para-social thing. We are not build to see somebody everyday in a certain context and only passively interact with them. This crosses a couple of wires I think. I have similar desires to not meet them but its mostly because I

...in orbit. Imagine what a device could do you can just take a wrench to if it breaks. and how much cheaper you could build that.

yes it hasn't really got a dedicated sound out and an i2c chips is absolutely needed. I meant more because while is absolutely possible to play say an mp3 on it its simple not a thing it does too easily in a useful manner in a multi-ap

Just add one yourself? I mean it even has a speaker cable. That said an esp32 isn't that good for audio just from a practical standpoint.

well.. its actually a bit more complex than that. The TLDR is that the slack of nuclear was picked up by renewables (mostly wind). the slightly more complicated reason is that wind often was kept off in favor of non-throttle-able base-loads

I think it always varied a bit and only in the average approached anything like 12 months. otherwise it died every time it "took" 11 months and 29days or 12 months and 1 day :P

I kinda feel obligated to point out that this is another orphan crusher machine thing. In most countries fire service is just provided everywhere.

seems like 8x4 bits of settings and 29bits of output memory? most efficient would probably just some boolean logic with assembler conditionals. You could probably write some code on a real machine that translates a friendlier editable looku

uh sorta - while the livelihood of some deniers depend on dollars (commercial or political) I think its more correct to say that to make others doubt climate change is their primary task they get funding for. You can see this very well when

anybody know if it would have been better to put half the LEDs on each side of the PCB in alternating lines?

I have been upgrading my then owncloud setup now nextcloud setup for the last 10 years or so almost without issue - most issues I had where back when it was still owncloud. I think I did a wipe back then once. Nowadays even if something goe

I sorta feel similar about BIG subscription software. Little subscription software (from small companies/developers) I see almost benign. If i needed this i would pay for it.

A friendly reminder that legally even if you buy Windows using a pirated copy is the same offense as pirating it without buying that other version in the first place. Sooo don't waste money if you decide to pirate LTSC :) Wine on linux

I JUST finished my server migration 2 days ago. Because the configuration was such a hassle I just duplicated my setup. Why wasn't this posted like 2 months ago when I started? I could have tried this so easily on the new server before

blue hydrogen is an abomination. I don't count pyrolysis derived hydrogen as blue because I can actually see some chance that the carbon gets sequestered. The pessemist in me sees the resulting carbon being sold to coal plants tho :P T

I tried wayland maybe a little over a year ago and the copy and paste behavior was bad enough to switch back. I recently switched to get freesync to work on multimonitor and the issue is now manageable. app sandboxes I fell less positive ab

there is a natural gas variant of that where instead of using steam in the steam reformation process to generate hydrogen and CO2 you use more of the energy contained in the gas to cook it off into atomic carbon and hydrogen. you can then b

I would be really interested what you were unhappy with? the only major thing that truely changed after 2017 was that wine became almost universally compatible. It was freakish how little issues i had in 2019 when i switched completely.

they are especially good for emulating USB-hid stuff - I have made several password and OTP emitting boxes with them.

mind you sodium is probably not that much worse than lipo once developed so it might end up in some mobile applications.

perovskites have the potential if used in tandem with normal cells to get you more efficency per panel since they are sensitive toa different part of the spectrum. You might get relatively cheap 40% panels out of that. That means you need
