What was the dream you wanted to pursue?

by erikbye 7y ago
That is reasonable, yes. But my point is that, in this case, gas usage by the importer, results in lower emissions, not higher. Several of the current importers are on their way to phasing out coal, which would not be possible without gas.
453.
by erikbye 7y ago
No, if not gas, it would be coal. Pollution would be magnitudes worse.
454.
by erikbye 7y ago
Certainly not the producer without taking into account that if the countries exported gas to didn't burn gas they'd burn coal.
455.
by erikbye 7y ago
Yes, it counts the extraction, and export is through gas pipes, it does not pollute. Besides, extraction pollutes very little, too.

Here's why I'm slightly annoyed by articles like this one. Oftentimes the "Software is slow" mantra rings true, but here's the thing: everyone repeating it claims it's the shit further down the stack that'

This whole article is regurgitation, aside from that, I was just wondering, what complex, highly efficient software has the author written?

Why is it incredible simply to do something fast? China is not a model to emulate. They throw a massive number of people on projects, pays them next to nothing (neither when they are maimed, nor to their families in case of death), and allo

Do note where this article resides. Casey Muratori (of Handmade Hero, a game dev tutorial project) is a self-proclaimed anything-not-C hater. A community has formed around his project, and has, of course, adopted his hard-line stance.

I use Joplin, it uses markdown so I have my folder of files I can grep. It also has a mobile app and you can set up syncing with WebDAV, I use Seafile.

Speaking of books on hackers, I can recommend Cult of the Dead Cow: How the Original Hacking Supergroup Might Just Save the World. I enjoyed it thoroughly despite the title. Did you know Beto O'Rourke was a member?

Why do we need public companies?

Not to mention consuming way too much memory. I prefer Gitea, or cgit if I need even less features.

Yes... at this point, IMO, there are no VPN providers that can be trusted to not sell you out (or your data). It's all very shady. As I have said in previous comments, I currently use ProtonVPN, but my use case, like many others, is si

Sweden is known to buckle under foreign pressure. Do you know anything about how or if Mullvad cooperates with domestic and foreign entities? Perhaps threats are unnecessary. Stating you have a no logging policy does not mean you cannot cov

Indeed.

If you want results from SO, why not use the search on their site? It also sounds like maybe you should search your browser's history instead, if you're looking for previously visited pages.

I've been using ProtonMail and ProtonVPN for over a year, paid subscription. Both web and mobile client is ok, not great. On desktop I use Outlook (Windows) and Thunderbird (Linux). I like the domain @pm.me. Overall happy with the serv

So that answers my question? You still, in 2019, cannot even move a window/app on the desktop in vanilla macOS using your keyboard? That, to me, is crazy. How can a company with the resources of Apple not implement this basic feature?

I manage fine with the touchpad on my Surface Book 2, not as good as Apple's, but certainly usable. Tap clicks work well.

Regarding Windows update cycle, you have the option of using LTSC, pausing updates for up to 35 days (yes, that's a built-in option now), or adjust update settings with GPO.
