I couldn't find any information regarding power consumption in the article. I'd love to upgrade my aging gaming rig, but all modern AMD/Nvidia graphics cards consume significantly more power than my current card.

That kind of boring busywork can be eliminated by using better abstractions. At the same time, it's a useful training ground for junior developers.

It might. Going faster likely increases wear on moving parts, which would presumably result in longer ground times for more frequent maintenance?

Ugh. Why? To make copy/paste programming easier? To make query generation easier? When you're writing code to generate queries, it's worth doing it right. Just about every programming language has an easy way to take an array

And of course, the email chain gives everyone time to think on the problem and construct a sensible reply, without interrupting anyone. As opposed to some manager walking up to your desk while you're neck deep in concentration, only to

The combination of very squeaky stairs, a lack of microphone, and hallway noise made it really hard to follow any of the talks. Will have to rewatch some of them later.

Losing 20-50 million lives through "panic" seems like a crazy estimate. What are you basing this on?

I don't think I understand your comment. The yield of nukes is of no consequence if they're not being used, so I don't think the comparison stands?

I need an AI detector which just straight up sends any generated emails to /dev/null. If you can't be arsed to write something, why should I waste my time reading the slop? Yes yes, languages and translations are a potentiall

Will it have a decent heart rate sensor? I have a very expensive Garmin smartwatch, and the heart rate sensor is absolute shite. I mean it's pretty accurate on average during steady-state anything. But if you're doing any kind of

Which data are you unable to view while offline? I never sync my Garmin watch to my phone, and I'm able to view all the data that interests me on the watch.

US banks are weird [1]. Archaic. Slow. Filthy rich. Incompetent. And yet they're nearly impossible to disrupt due to the benefit of size. Starting a new bank is expensive, unless you want to pretend at being a real bank and letting ano

Meh, not too fond of it. Great concept, but poorly executed. E.g. there's automatic people tagging based on faces it recognizes, but no way to tag additional people that it missed. Maybe it will get better in time, but for now it isn&#

Are you willing/able to talk about the access point you're working on? Will this be one for public/commercial use? Or is this an internal project?

The problem, as far as I see it, isn't electronic invoicing in itself, or even the format. It's the usage of the PEPPOL network. The network isn't free. Nothing is stopping anyone from creating invoices in UBL format and send

by elric 2y ago
That's not happening. Because they too will need to pay for access to the PEPPOL network. And it seems like there might be some KYC requirements in addition to the money and the audits.

That's what the Belgian guideline seems to be, yeah. From what I gather, the extra costs are deductible at 120% during the first year. But it still all feels pretty shitty.

A few euros per invoice? That seems pretty expensive. More expensive than the postal service.

by elric 2y ago
It seems pretty complicated to me, but maybe you can point out some resources that make it easy? My current invoicing system is a simple tool that generates PDFs. I send those to my customers by email (and rarely an angry reminder by post),

As far as I see it, Belgium is the first to mandate it, and the rest of the EU will follow soon after. The European Commission is big on e-invoicing. https://ec.europa.eu/digital-building-blocks/sites/display/

Looks great, well done. It's a shame that it's needed at all. The vast majority of my interactions with systemd are trivial: (re)starting a service, looking at a log file to figure out what's wrong, and making sure a service

My bad, Mark, I misunderstood the motivations behind the Dorsey talk. I'm afraid I can no longer edit my previous comment, but consider that part retracted.

This whole thing is a non-issue, not sure why Drew is overreacting to this extent. FOSDEM is a not-for-profit org. They run on sponsorships and donations. Many sponsors are what we would consider to be part of Big Evil Tech. The last year I

Meanwhile, the EU is talking nonsense about creating "AI Factories" in a similar attempt.

I'd assume that more insulation and less insolation would make that A/C a lot cheaper and less polluting to operate.
