Whenever I read enthusiasm like this for space travel .. especially talk of Musks interplanetary species and stuff, I get a flashback to Stark by Ben Elton . Published in 1989, getting closer to true by the day. Also probably the funniest b

So funny story, a week ago my fiancee had a work trip to Serbia. There she discovered that the country produces sublime wine. Brought back a suitcase full of it and every one of them has been amazing. Neither of us had heard anything about

Pretty funny, about 15 years ago I started looking back at myself a year ago and decided that until that dude from a year ago looks like an idiot then all is well with my life. Hasn't failed yet.

I read Sapiens and its companion a few years ago. This year I read Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity' by David Graeber and David Wengrow [0]. And found it much more nuanced, interesting and believable. Harari's narrati

I read it a few weeks ago. It is very good and highly recommended. I feel this opened my eyes quite a bit in the following ways: - history is not a linear progression and narrative, sometimes things happen in leaps and also can go "bac

Here in EU the energy prices are separate from distribution grid. In fact distribution grid is forbidden to sell you energy at all by law. So there are months where I pay more for a monthly standing fee for having a connection than I pay fo

Let me get this right. You are using numbers from a computer game wiki in a discussion about real world? Numbers which are by the way off by 2 orders of magnitude. Don't have any nuance in them, don't account for any seasonal vari

I am avoiding those new "reveling" documentaries, especially on Netflix but also elsewhere. There are so many cases where they are painting a picture instead of telling me all the facts (which may be impossible) that I'm afra

That is a very helpful summary. I generally favor declarative configuration (like CloudFormation) and I think it's mostly due to my work being infrastructure focused: "I need VPC, LB's, ASG with those immutable Images, a queu

That top speed part must have been very short as seen from a recent modelY video keeping that 220ish km/h takes about 110kW of power. As opposed to about 15kW for 90km/h.

Come on, let's say they get the STM32 for a quarter for a really high volume. There are tens if not hundreds of them in a car. 25k car would give you 100k stm32. 1k-10k cars is hardly decades.
