Lead-acid is not the cheapest way to store energy at scale. Grid storage is already a thing, and is primarily delivered with pumped storage hydro. The benefits of this are numerous. Very few moving parts, no toxicity, enormous storage poten

Framework open sources most of their schematics, if I understand correctly. So it should be possible for others to use the same standard, if they wanted to. (they don't want to)

You mean we aren't doing realtime raytracing yet? Sad.

Chattanooga provides affordable municipal broadband with some of the fastest speeds in the nation. I wonder if they or anyone else provides a kind of ready-to-go kit for other municipalities who want to copy the best practices. And maybe mu

Office 365 probably would have worked. Microsoft's proprietary format is handled best by Microsoft. Also, cloud-based synchronization using CRDTs is a complex problem that is significantly more complex than just loading the document. C

Yes. And it actually does have an iGPU, depending on which model.

I was not referring to the rape accusations, I was referring to his connections to creeps and the fact that he was colluding with Russia to influence US politics, and lying. Trying to boost the Seth Rich conspiracy theory despite knowing th

A mix of cowardice and bravery in a human way. A hero doesn't slink away to a dictatorship to save his skin. A normal person would do this. Most of us, maybe. But should we be celebrating that? And it should also make us question who b

Assange is a creep and a megalomaniac who was working closely with Russian intelligence, and with other creeps like Israel Shamir and Roger Stone. Whether he should be in prison or not, and whether the sexual abuse claims against him are ac

There are some things that are decisions by outside entities, and pinpointing the problem is the first step to fixing it. Or even to making an informed decision as a consumer. Especially given that children are reared in this environment, a

The well-understood issues of ADUs, multifamily zoning, and mixed-use development are all very important low-hanging fruit. Along with eliminating parking mandates. I hadn't heard the term "incremental housing" before, but it

But they have their own windowing system, yes?

More likely they were hoping to achieve second mover advantage by starting late, and also limiting risk at the same time, since it would allow them to pivot easier into various kinds of alternative technologies.

WSA was becoming an alternative to the Android Emulator for MAUI development. This is the only reason that I'm sad. They should just open source this and let the community maintain it.

Good recommendations. OSes today are more than kernels. Filesystems, init systems, shells, and the configuration conventions would all be part of it. And probably also the windowing system and desktop environment. The most innovative concep

The question is then whether they actually have enough assets to pay their debts.

Utility-scale solar is what is both cheap and plummeting in price, relative to other sources, and has even gone negative during peak production hours.

Pumped storage hydro is a way to store energy, but also can dispense water.

With solar energy prices plummeting, it may make sense during peak production hours to use it to do desalination and/or extract water from the air, depending on where you are.

Clinton tried to give fake nuclear weapons designs to Iran. Unfortunately, the nuclear scientist patsy they used, who was supposed to just deliver the designs, noticed some flaws. So he corrected them. So they now have the real designs. ht

Using alternative keyboards is a nice way to discourage family members and roommates from trying to use your devices. I'm not so convinced that it provides significant speed or ergonomic advantages. At the population level, minor impro

Bryan Johnson is already independently wealthy, and if he wanted to become even wealthier there would be much easier and more lucrative options. The most parsimonious explanation for his behavior is that he very genuinely does not want to d

He is also personally experimenting with things far more extreme than that. Like off-label pharmaceuticals, replacing his blood with blood from his son, and even gene therapy.

The main problem is just their steady increase in cross-selling, nagware, advertising, and feature bloat. That is what makes me want to be rid of it. But Windows 11 really achieves greatness in a lot of ways, which offsets it.

I really like the new notepad. The WinUI overhaul is beautiful and minimalist. The features added so far are all useful without bloating it. Tabs and sessions are fantastic enhancements. Large file support still needs to be improved, and I

I, personally, hate those features. Tab groups were just added to my browser, and my first thought was how to turn it off. Firefox initially won users by being the fastest. And then lost users when it wasn't the fastest.
