Any sources on some of the tech being used over there?

I’ve been looking into doing this on my balcony in Spain. They sell “plug in” solar kits, but I’ve yet to determine if it’s actually legal here. I have a south facing balcony that’s about 1mx3m, so should be able to get about 400-600 watts

Nvidia has much less of a moat on the inference side of things. Of course they still dominate the market right now for inference (in datacenters), but it's much easier for companies to move onto AMD or other solutions like Groq or wha

Yeah, Discord for coding related things is far superior than anything else I've tried in the space (Slack, Teams, Skype, Mattermost, etc). I've not actually used it in a professional setting but there are a large number of very ac

Yeah, once upon a time I lived in the mountains in Canada and bought a lot of stuff from the US because at the time the Canadian dollar was more or less at par and far cheaper down in the US. I randomly came across the fact that mountainee

Yea I always thought it was a bit silly that the method for winning was charging at your opponent and stabbing them a hundredth of a second before they stab you. As a person who knows nothing about fencing besides watching it on TV at the

This is awesome! I'm not a gamer but a huge map nerd, however I've always dreamed of a "real world" mmorpg. I've taken a stab at learning Unreal to combine with some map data but never got too far. I think this is

I’ve been a proponent of CANZUK for 20 odd years now. My support comes from the cultural side of things. I spent 15 years working and living at ski resorts in Canada, Australia and New Zealand (and worked with a lot of young adults from t

I don't remember the exact details, but I used to have a Vultr VPS (I think the smallest they had, for something like $2.50/month) for a few years running OpenBSD. One day I noticed IPV6 had stopped working, so I emailed support

Same! It's extremely cheap in my case, so why not? One great thing about being in a city in Spain is the prices...Five euros a month extra to go from 1 gigabit symmetrical to 10 gigabit. I don't have anything that can even come

I’ve been using the beta version of WhatsApp on macOS for a year or so and it’s a native Catalyst app. I kinda assumed the main version had dropped electron and moved to the catalyst version too, has that not happened?

I think it was more or less “nag ware”. I remember clicking “no, later” multiple times in a row and they’d only ask like twice a year. I don’t think it ever stopped working for people who didn’t pay (afaik).

I'm the same, I buy $5 in credit and it lasts me a few years. It comes in handy when traveling or when calling foreign numbers.

The company I work for (full time contract) uses Skype as their communications platform. Besides notifications sometimes being wonky and getting false missed call notifications (this only happens like once a month), it works well. I also

My city (Valencia, Spain) generally has good biking infrastructure but recently they redid an intersection and came up with this monstrosity. Even for locals it's confusing / dangerous. In the direction I travel frequently, I hav

I believe that the Jimny is only sold as a "commercial" vehicle now, which in most EU countries precludes you from actually buying one unless you are a company (probably being sold to farmers and etc). At least, this is the case

I think the distinction is that the new Chrome company wouldn't be a "monopolist". If Chrome was a separate company and did exactly the same as Google is doing currently, there might be no problem. It's when a company

I'm pretty sure they can, and do. The vast majority of Mozillas revenues come from Google for being the default search provider. The fact that Google pays Mozilla, Apple and Samsung (among others) to be the default search provider ha

It doesn't take much. We recently had large floods where I live and I decided that for next time I was going to have some supplies ready, just in case. A few seemingly benign searches for "preparedness" later and my feed is

In Spain we get nicely labeled "Political Propaganda" in the mail around election time. I think by law each party can send you one letter, and it has to have the "Political Propaganda" text on the outside. It's pre

I'm a bit perplexed about region handling, maybe you could shed some light on it. I have an iPhone from Canada, with a Canadian Apple account (Canadian CC/billing address, set location to Canada in App Store), but live in Spain f

There's an extremely experimental/feature limited 3rd party implementation of macOS native containers. It requires disabling all sorts of security features, though.

Canada also does not verify, don't ask me how I know. However, where I live now (Spain) they do have some 3rd party service verifying edu status.

For sure food, water and etc are going to be the hardest to acquire. I live in Valencia which just had some massive flooding. The city of Valencia itself survived unscathed since they rerouted the river here in 1954, but the outskirts are

I think it has to do with available space, as other commenters have mentioned. Here in Valencia, Spain, there's a huge amount of unused "retail" space. Most of the city is 5-7 floor apartment buildings with the ground floor

It was early days, yeah. The other part of the project that's been depreciated now was running node 0.4, if I am not mistaken. The watermap was part of a bigger asset tracking system, node + jade templating (before jade became pug, e

Theoretical situation: I'm Canadian, I don't have a degree at all. If I found a startup that is incorporated in the US, but I'm still in Canada and most employees are outside of the US (although not exclusively), is there a
