They performance potential was always there for solar and wind energy. It was a known quantity that was an engineering inevitability. The industrial scale-up just happened quickly since the same tech could be leveraged from chip manufactur

Let's see it last. It won't. This is just a short-term private endeavor/vanity-press project. Just because a business uses a "sustainable technology" does not make it a sustainable business. Comparing cargo ships

I've read (and re-read) all of PG's essays over the years. Often they're wonderful fonts of wisdom. Sometimes they're myopic and poorly supported, but never just plain wrong . This is, sadly, a first for him. AOC (the

This is largely poor regulation. The assumption that "more bright = more safe" and the lack of enough real-world testing. The only other product analogy that comes to mind is "thicker = better" for hiking socks. When t

It should not have been necessary, but this is the new reality under the U.S.'s recent lack of probity. I'm so glad both towns an other private donors pulled together to make this happen.

At least in the U.S., it's a complete non-issue for an output power that can easily cover the size of a wedding reception as long as you're not using a wide-band transceiver. You'll want to be "kind" to the extant s

As someone who was NTSE certified in the late '90s, you are absolutely correct. I stopped supporting the platform when they: - Mandated WGA even for licensed partners that got "Teh Crate" of every release every month which ma

"On" brand running shoes have great laces for knot-holding, but they're so thin it's awkward to manipulate them to actually tie the knot in the first place.

The thing about many of the "proper" headphone roll-ups is they are dependent on a particular level of minimum bending radius, tension tolerance, and elastic deformation in the cords. To put it more simply, many of them will sim

You are not alone. That 'verse has so much to explore and so many possible pathways and plot-lines yet requited. We know nothing about the Furlings.

We didn't want a "fresh perspective" on Stargate. We just wanted more classic Stargate. Not at all related, "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy". ;)

I've never understood why anyone would be comfortable with Face ID or Touch ID given all the possible attacks. Just use a PIN. You'll end up knowing it as a kinesthetic reflexive action anyways.

An HP 48S was my constant companion during engineering school and RPN was a lovely introduction to elegant expression-scaling. The specific ergonomic feel of those buttons remains unrivaled.

Watching our (newly hired) CTO lie to the entire company regarding the capabilities of a new feature I was hired to build was a brutal education in money-politics.

Heh, based on the title, I thought this would be "10 Basic Clouds" for AWS, Azure, GCP, etc. in some sort of GoF "Design Patterns" lexicon.

Same. When you're grooving/flowing it's different than when you're "just on the cusp". My only reliable "hack" is to have a workout/exercise partner and/or trainer so it becomes a mutual sh

Stack Overflow had been a zombie even before they sold to Prosus in 2021. It became over-moderated and calcified. Amongst even simple stuff, they refused to update basic library questions when said libraries had new releases with additiona

Truth. Nothing is a greater spurn to creativity (cyclic mental exertion) than time away focusing on cyclic bodily exertion.
