There is nothing wrong with the internet. It is operating as intended, completely out of control like it should be. Big corp has created an easy mode (which is criticised in tweets like this) but the all the interesting stuff is still there

Agreed, blogspam indeed! Anecdotally, I have been impressed by the RFID system the the Decathlon sports store uses. Used it myself and it works a treat. Throw all your items into a bucket, tap your payment card on the normal card machine (o

This is true but what is really happening is that the frontend and backend cannot communicate intent effectively because of they way they are separated. The frontend doesn’t know what is important for optimisation because that’s not its job

If you make a small change to your application, the Rust compiler does a significant amount of rework. That is, it recompiles a lot of code that it has already compiled before. There are valid technical reasons for this because of how LLVM

I think that what the author is really looking for is a battery inverter setup and this is quite a mature market. A lot of countries out there do not have stable electricity supply and these things work for all appliances. Something like th

Distilled water does not conduct electricity. It is the dissolved ions in the water that allow electricity to conduct. You may be able to clean the PI to such a level that nothing dissolves into the water when it is submerged. https:/

The article doesn't say who gets the proceeds of the fine. It's a fairly important piece of information since it is conceivable that the countries that were hurt by the corruption may not see any of it.

Great project! One small thing that has worked well for me with led contrast is to cover the whole display in black leg stocking material.

Some people would be ok with paying but you cannot pay and still be an anonymous user. You need to be logged in and trust that Google won’t track you if you ask them not to.

Thanks, very interesting. IMO, that is an insane amount of money to pay for a non-default feature of a free product.

I just don't understand why all movie set lights haven't instantly been replaced by their LED equivalent. Why do people still use these things that are crazy expensive to run and can set things on fire?

This is a fairly obscure supermarket chain and in no way indicative of a trend moving away from self checkouts in the UK. Self checkouts are as popular as ever and some are more crap than others. This is usually down to a benign reason like

I’m aware that the issues are tough to work through but it’s a real shame that async traits remain in nightly. On top of this, being able to reference a set of reasonable traits from a popular library not linked to a runtime would make libr
