To me the problem with solarized dark has always been that my brain keeps telling me that my monitor is broken as it "bleeds backlight". I like the rest of it but whenever I use it I just turn the background to more or almost comp

It does not have to be a one-company effort at all. But someone has to propose a solution. I still stand by my view that the supply chain of hydrogen is solvable with current tech. Whereas hydrogen (or other green long range) planes are not

Synthetic fuels is usually referring to synthetic kerosene which you can just feed into the existing jets as JET-1A. Hydrogen is very-very different and needs complete redesign of the plane. Hydrogen availability is pretty good, I mean most

Even Airbus themselves have powerpoint slides about how they are going to do hydrogen planes etc. Please don't be with a limited imagination.

There is one nuance tho, specifically with the Model S (not sure about plaid). The way the Model S motor is laid out, it is often more advantageous to fit it backwards into conversions. This should be fine, except the motor driven oil pump

There is a diy EV conversion community where people sometimes leave the (mostly but not always manual) gearbox in place. Usually they don’t bother fitting a clutch and most of the time they leave it in either 3rd, 4th or 5th gear. Shifting

Yea, I thought so as well and was immediately terrified about their safety.

And how would you rework that radioactive metal into a new high-precision containment vessel and piping? The added faff of dealing with irradiated materials will surely be orders of magnitude more expensive then the price increase in raw cl

It's not quiet tho. It has a cheap-ass fan and also bad enough coil whine to get a mention in the video.

The company was cheap beyond belief. This gift card was just stupid. The real problem obviously was that the company was so shittily run that heroics were needed to save the day. Also my buddy was junior enough to care and do it. It's

jeez. really? the COMPANY was run really shittily already, there was absolutely no effing reason to plant anything. all the people tried to make the company better, for shitty effing pay. have you ever seen a world where people take some ki

So I had a buddy, he was a junior-ish very talented dev in this big retailer where I was working as well. This retailer obv had massive campaigns for black friday, but also obv very shitty and inflexible systems. This buddy of mine found th

I believe with dell, coil whine is somewhat of a lottery. I have it bad on the XPS15. Some people don't have it and they are lucky.

by jnsaff2 4y ago
I had coil whine with Dell laptops and the decision is: never again. To save fractions of cents on components only to annoy the person that has dropped a few thousand euros on their main tool. Just drives me nuts. These days I have a nuc in

Well that multiple client fairness gets solved by using something like CAKE. There are youtube demos doing exactly this even with links limited to like a few meg.

> Maybe they should start to amp up the voltage. You mean "amp down with up the voltage"? But this is my reaction too. Running 50 Amps even these short distances is just silly. I would think about maybe saying that the card is

I burned out like 15 years ago. I was lucky that I had money to quit working completely for about a year and go backpacking. When I started again, I did so in a different company but in the same field. The biggest change I made and which I

I know a person who has done this with their tesla for like 6 years and to the point that they will not plug their tesla into anything more powerful because they think that charging it at 2kW is keeping their battery pristine. I don't

Also, my experience with the Volvo one (on XC90 tho) was that it would happily plough into cars standing at a red light in front of me if I would let it. TM3 has never had this issue for me.

Meh. I think the ratio didn't change at all, it is just that contractors jacked up their rates to cover the added NIC. To me it seemed like someone in HMRC/govt got a "win" but all the govt agencies just had to pay more

Yeah, all the counterfactual bad faith bullshit actors of chaos suddenly cry for rules when it hurts them. Conveniently forget any rules and decency when they stir up shit. Not saying paypal isn't shit but there is some schadenfreude t

I can recommend this book currently in beta, that has been pretty good at keeping up to date with most developments in LiveView. https://pragprog.com/titles/liveview/programming-phoenix-liv...
