There was also a bug report in Debian which requested updating xz-utils to 5.6.1: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1067708

That’s the amount of electricity that the four units at Vogtle nuclear power plant produce in one hour.

The Philippines are also considering to startup their mothballed nuclear power plant.

A nuclear reaction has a factor of one million more energy per Mol as compared to chemical reactions. Why would want to build an enery system on low-energy-density technology? That would be equivalent to using relays for building computers
125.
by cbmuser 3y ago
That has even a worse energy density and thus requires a lot of space. We have nuclear energy, we don’t need to use technology from the medieval ages.

»LuaJIT is undoubtedly a "full" JIT compiler.« Yes, and it's practically unmaintained. Pull requests to add support for various architectures have remained largely unanswered, including RISC-V.

And all nuclear power plants at the west coast remain unaffected: https://twitter.com/SStapczynski/status/1741754345656574292 Plus, the currently operating reactors which all belong to KEPCO did not even have to g

Following this logic, we should stop building any industrial complex because Russia could be firing rockets at it.

> Gentoo still fully supports obscure architectures such as IA64 and PowerPC 32-bit while Debian dropped both back in 2018 and 2020. We do that in Debian, too. FWIW, I am the one that eventually greenlit the removal of the ia64 port in t

What do you mean "it doesn't"? I'm maintaining Debian Ports and I build installer images for all old and obscure targets. We even have support for SuperH which Gentoo dropped at some point. > https://buildd

You still have the unresolved problem that wind and solar do not produce on-demand. Any other market would have dropped a production machine already that does not produce on-demand. It's like having a worker that only works when they f

You actually can and we're doing that in Germany. The plants remain on stand-by. However, you always need conventional power plants on the grid as otherwise you won't be able to do load-following. Most 100%-renewable-energy plans

»It's happening, it just hasn't yet arrived at scale.« Making it at scale is a MAJOR challenge. Germany alone consumes up to 1.6 billion kWh on a single day. That's the capacity of 16 million Tesla-S batteries with 100 kWh. S

I don’t understand why this question is kept being asked. Is Rust holy in some sense that’s it’s not allowed to rewrite the frontend? It’s still a PITA to bootstrap Rust on a new architecture and there is also no working Rust compiler for a

It’s sensational because it’s wrong. LLVM still supports even ARMv5T which is the baseline of Debian’s armel port.

by cbmuser 3y ago
Exactly. The article omits information that is fundamental to being able to fix this problem.

by cbmuser 3y ago
The article doesn’t mention whether Debian or Raspian was installed. And, in case of Debian, whether the armel or armhf port is being used. Without that information, it’s pretty pointless to make claims about the instruction set LLVM compil

Overbuilding doesn’t help when there is zero wind or solar generation. Wind is usually tied across the continent and low wind in Germany usually conincides with low wind in the rest of Europe.

Germany had to return 19 coal-fired power plants with a total capacity of 7.3 GW to the electricity market simply because neither wind nor solar provide dispatchable power and hence can never replace conventional power plants. They just hel
