That's what I liked about Transport Fever: grading track correctly is important, hard, and expensive!

Also, sharp gradients inherently incentivize attempts to equalise. It is an unstable situation.

It was released after community pushback on 15.5 being the last. Then they are now calling something Leap 16, but it hasnt much tot do with Leap: https://www.theregister.com/2024/01/17/opensuse_confirms_lea...

Almost like we need API's for interpersonal communication, which, as long as we all adhere to them, remove many of the difficulties.

I wish they'd have something more sensible for people that need a few inboxen at a domain. Having to pay full price for every new family member added to a family domain for instance is a bit too expensive for my tastes.

Only a few years ago did I learn through an economic historian, that throughout Dutch colonial rule, the entirety of that activity has been a loss, not a gain, to the Dutch state and thus the Dutch citizen (it is evident it was a loss for t

Value can be overvalued. Value is what humans invent for themselves (but mostly others). GDP is precisely one such imagined quantities that could easily be 10x more or less depending on who's doing the valueing.

The problem is that people understand things differently. What is a valuable lesson for you, can be an inspiration for others. This is actually quite well researched so you can't just keep such violent materials accessible to all and n

Have a look at how heat pumps work. The difference between cooling and heating is just which end you point inside or outside. For efficiency it only matter what the delta-T with the outside environment is. Since that is typically lower when

I remember I first installed WhatsApp back in, o, 2013? I had held off for a long time, but I had just moved abroad and beggers can't be choosers. I was added to a group chat within 24 hours, and in the following 24 hours I watched all

Its easier, but it isn't more energy efficient, at least not for winters. Average deltaT is smaller when cooling 35 to 25, compared to heating -10 to 20, say. A problem in cities is that aircos increase outdoor temps, on top of heat fr

This. It takes tons of energy especially if your surrounded with admirers (I suppose these types tend to gather undiscerning yes men). I have fled a renowned institute for this reason. You are probably going to sacrifice your career over it

I used to joke to myself that I was the next step in evolution, home sapiens superior. I was aware enough no to provoke my classmates though ;) But, I wonder if it is at all related to Neanderthal lineages. They had bigger brains and were b

The length of a mile varies across jurisdictions though. You'd think the world atlas would be mindful of the gap.

This thread is full of people trying to share experiences that you seem to not allow, Gnome 2 themes working well (for them) being one of them. Sharing the observation of a downward trend _is_ constructive. Trying to invalidate such observa

You say you have no idea what I'm referring to, and then proceed to talk exactly about the feature I was refering to. This together with your other inconsistent comments here make me doubt your sincerity. You seem to be either tracking

I stuck with K9 because Fairmail has a cluttered UI. Yes, it's very fully featured, and I have nothing but respect for Marcel and it's a great option, but K9 is slightly easier to get started with for me.
