For a common person, Google/Apple cartel is about as much unavoidable as Visa/MC one. You are one of the very few exceptions - just as there are surely exceptional people who can do financial transactions that avoid Visa/MC.

I agree. The only caveat is that this goes for founders or engineers who are financially tied with the company success. If the engineer just collects paycheck, they might prioritize fun - and I feel that might be behind a lot of the "r

For example: Managed Airflow Scheduler on AWS with "large" size costs $0.99/hour, or $8,672/year per instance. That's ~ $17,500 considering Airflow for at least non-prod and prod instances. Building it on your own o

I did not know about the Wire incident. It is a shame that the main decision maker and owner of Signal is such an untrustworthy person - authoritarian, abuser of copyright and trademarks, working together with Facebook and helping Google ke

There was Iiyama 5k as well, but they stopped making it. I almost bought it too, what a shame.

Yes, Facebook deciding to register the trademark a year later is the scummy part. The trademark is of course useless - it's not like they sell Presto - it is just petty bullshit to fuck Starburst and the community over. And of course

As it should be. People who refused to follow safety measures should have their ability to hurt others limited.

Seems Facebook decided to screw with PrestoSQL by abusing trademark law and Linux Foundation is helping. Not unexpected of Facebook (they are 100 % rotten and evil company) byt I thought Linux Foundation was better than this.

I'm not sure we've actually seen percentages, have we? Like, is 5 % of people disobeying restrictions? Or 50 %? I'm sure some people flocked, but for example in my friends circle, nobody did - of course, that's an anecdo

Yeah, the other problem with UBI deployment is housing. It would take some more changes so that all of UBI doesn't basically end up taken by landlords.

I think it's like declawing cats or (human) circumcision. It is just something Americans do and consider normal, while the rest of the Western world considers it pointlessly cruel nonsense.

There's a lot of magic around MIMO, beamforming and other stuff where Mikrotik is kinda behind other manufacturers. Enterprise grade here would mean something like Cisco WAP or HPE Aruba. Surprisingly, the "prosumer" things l

The benefit of laptop is that it's ... everything. It's a replacement for desktop, for TV in living room, for TV in bedroom, for something to look up stuff in kitchen or workshop, and you can take it when you travel, use it in a h

In isolation yes. But holistically the "charging station instead of gas station" equation has more factors - you have to discount - everyone who can charge at home (i.e. anyone with a garage or their own driveway), - those who cha

I think the 5k monitor Apple was selling for a while was the same idea - you can fit 4k video pixel for pixel and also the editing tools.

I think that kind of depends on how big your lap is - I can work on 15" MacBook Pro just fine, while sitting crosslegged. And of course also how big the laptop is with regards to screen size. For example, modern Dell XPS 13 has 13.4&qu

I guess I'm also a unique snowflake since I actually like 16:9 screens more than 16:10. For work, more vertical space is nice but so is more horizontal space - it's useful for longer lines and various sidebars and such that all so

Yeah, screen time "doomscrolling", screen time "playing online board game with friends", screen time "reading a book" and screen time "watching a movie" are pretty different screen times.

Yes, I experienced a lot of pain while working with CSVs in UTF-16, turns out some libraries can't handle it. Also, CSVs don't really scale because parsing generic CSV that may have quote and line-end inside a field is inherently

With how little power RPi needs in comparison to "true server", it could probably run for days or weeks of off a UPS. So it is the more redundant choice!

The other thing is that 1500 MW solar with capacity factor of 11 % (that's number for Germany) is going to deliver significantly less energy than 1500 MW nuclear plant with capacity factor 98 %.

Do we have any examples of working renewables + storage? Because as far as I know, nobody in the world ever built grid scale storage. There are no proven commercial solutions available, no expertise built. There might not even be enough lit
