A really nice example. I tracked the data acquisition and fit an ordinary charging curve. For anyone interested, a 25 line script w/ data is here: https://pastebin.com/R0b1XSV0 Some insights: - The peak DC voltage seem

I believe you that the efficiency argument played a role when they decided to reduce the life expectancy of the light bulbs. The cartel doing 'cartel-things' aside, the 1000h-limit probably was a good decision even though I think

Hah, this isn't surprising: An internal leaked Google document ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35813322 ) a couple days ago pretty much pushed the idea. Still interesting to see the action follow so short afterwar

Ah, shucks. They don't ship to Europe :( "Please note: because of recently-instituted tax collection requirements, we are no longer shipping to the EU or UK—sorry!"

Whenever I see that C++ added some language extension, I can't help but think about Bjarne Stroustrup's "Remember the Vasa" Paper [1] and wonder if he had meant this type of complexity he warned against... - [1]( https:&

> Boot chain is typically Firmware → shim → grub ... Is this really true? Or just when using Red Hat systems? I don't know too much about the boot chain, but I always thought that after the ROM stage, usually GRUB would take over di

Yeah, could be. But still that does not support the argument of "feed the data to western governments". When you say: "Look, the people from village A north are stealing apples from the city orchard. Here is a list of apple t

I see your point. But then how is the accusation 'west scans internet' connected to 'see this map of countries of origin'? Because I thought he would back up this claim with this source/second paragraph. If other pe

> feed the data to western governments It is ironic that the very link [1] you provided proves you wrong. The top 5 countries of origin doing IP scanning in the last seven days are China (120k), India (67k), US (52), Iran (44k), and Russ

I think the solely reason why JPEG XL did not go off is simple: It had no lobby. No large tech company actively promotes it and so, many people hadn't heard of it. Ironically, the deprecation of it in chrome made me aware of it in the

Yeah, it's quite a well written paragraph in terms of style. Really good story-telling. And it starts so innocent as well, building up something rather mundane with trivial short and repeating sentences. And then, bang, hints at an exp

> That leads us to the end of Hans Niemann’s foray into cycling – his dalliance with the sport that is mostly remarkable for how unremarkable it is. And that’s fine. Kids start riding, and kids stop. Kids win races and kids don’t. Kids c

I disagree: Using docker makes it incredibly easy to tinker without real consequences or hassle. Want to try out - say - Heimdall? Create a docker-compose.yml file, an nginx reverse proxy config, and spin up the container. Don't like i

Reliability. That's what Google traded for a quick and sudden exit. I think the damage is far greater than the rather small number of people in and around Stadia. I guess there is a message: "When a Google product does not show a

Is this even comparable? I mean, for C you have a three-way comparison and for C++ there is only a two-way comparison. If you run the code by yourself you end up that C (while calling the compare() less often than C++) needs more comparison

In the article, Gleixner is quoted to have said this: "printk() is the last thing I am going to clean up [...]. Then I am going to hand over to young people [...]." Does he imply to step back (as a maintainer) from active kernel w

Odd text. Take a look at the first figure with the heading "Landfalling US Hurricanes have declined". 1) If the citation indicates that the figure comes from the year 2018, how can there be data until 2021? If you look at the orig

Two peculiar side notes here: 1) The first three and only moves of this game at Julius Bär Generation Cup with Niemann as white is the same opening as the first controversial game (2022-09-05) at the Sinquefield Cup but with flipped sides

Oh wow, I find the text really bad and flawed. The thing that tipped me off is the wording. In the text, the author used a lot of two word quotation marks indicating either verbatim text or text they wanted to make sure to just emphasize (&

But its a lot more than just about the "need to suffer for a foreign country", isn't it? Its about the geopolitical interest of Europe. To be dependent on an autocratic foreign power (in this case gas) shows the problems. For
