While YouTube Music is still a clear regression from GPM, it's slowly catching up. Any year now it'll be good... But it seems it might already annoy you less than Spotify? Which is interesting, most people seem to believe Spotify

What is Apple selling to have so little settings in MacOS? ;)

Do you mean that a single CPU can saturate the throughput of a machine's RAM? That's a bit surprising, given that current crop of Intel CPUs does non uniform memory access. Or, is that bandwidth so much above any I/O that it

The general idea would be breaking things into viable businesses and imposing compatibility with competitors. So, for Amazon, spin off the delivery and allow others to do the driving around, provided they can meet the same requirements arou

Is Redis still single-threaded? I thought that would become a bit of a problem by now.

It doesn't. Imagine the night sky. What do you see? I see stars, that are bright dots on black background. That is, to a first approximation the overwhelming fraction of the area of the sky actually doesn't actually have a star. N

I don't drive that much and still feel that changing tyres every five years is pushing it.

The thing about outer space is that it's impressively empty. Any objects obscuring a visible star are most likely in its system. So, even for something this far away in a crowded system, we should be able to tell in a couple decades.

You lost "kilo" when querying. Or, more likely, your source lost it.

Isn't Debian opinionated about the freedom of the stack it stands on? Would the community be happy to build a dependency on a vendor?

I'm afraid it usually is - just think of ways to sway it. Now, I would love to agree it shouldn't be, but there is no concrete system I can think of that could decouple it well. Ownership of media by the state oftentimes makes it

Is it so? Constituting a quarter of the gdp, Germany doesn't seem to qualify as "the tail".

As always with reaching megacorps: any official channel would be hopelessly flooded with spam, so your only hope is to reach an employee through alternative means. Usually a sufficienlty large Titter storm is the most robust way. But, as il

Frankly, probably the only thing worse than the flat designs are the skeuomorphic designs. Bring back the Windows95-like. Give me edges, shadows and colours, all clearly indicating what the heck this bunch of pixels is meant to be. But with

> There are always passive safety systems, Chernobyl and Fukushima had too. The problem with these safety systems is that they are assumed to be built flawlessly, which is not always the case. This is plain wrong - nobody ever was stupid

Hmmm, that's the kind of battery that electric cars use? There are some worries about availability of the rare earth metals for them... Are they used for the engines only?

Irish being the native language of Ireland is just barely more impactful than the native language of New York being Lenapese.

Maybe? A Polish colleague happened to spend some time with, IIRC, a Scott and an Aussie. The two native speakers would resort occasionally to use him as an interpreter, because the native English tends to diverge out of bounds of their tole

Chernobyl's plant was built in 1972. Fukushima's in 1971. One would hope the technology improved a bit in 40 years...

Ignoring dollar amounts, are we even able to mine raw materials fast enough to get the required battery capacity in place? Or would the plan be to burn fuel at night and sequester the carbon during the day? That sounds inefficient :/

You don't get HTML. Neither do I. A couple years back there was a well-received "semantic HTML" submission here. I was in the small minority wondering how come `<div class="button">` is better semantics than `

But then you don't want the software from the distro to be statically linked, but the software from other places. In which case it doesn't matter that much what does the distro do.

Scanning with a better scanner can be confused with "digital remastering".

I don't think that makes a lot of sense in a distro. If package A gets an update, it means a sufficiently bad bug was discovered in it. If it happens to be a library, you want to make sure you update every package B that uses it. Which
