I can't imagine picking Jekyll today. I moved to Hugo after years of suffering long builds. Jekyll's stack complexity meant CI/CD was hard to implement and it just wasn't that fast. Hugo wasn't just fast, it had eve

Somebody owes me a keyboard. The graphic title Comparative Knob Morphology was too much for my coffee and childish brain to handle.

It doesn't stabilise transport fuel prices while so much long and mid haul logistics, and farming is running on fossil fuels. Those are where immediate price volatility occurs and quickly compounds.

The choice I was offering myself there was specifically between a bad developer abusing open source software and something vibed together to replace that specific function that uses the open source app within its licence. The assumption bei

I hear what you're saying but I still think I'd prefer LLM-orchestrated software (using third-party dependencies) to closed source SaaS made by developers who can't even adhere to software licenses. It's a level of Junio

If your generator is plugged into their own circuit, it wouldn't change much. If you plug it into an overloaded ring final (which is not uncommon in the UK - half our house's sockets are on a single ring), you have to rely on the

Always important to note that "code" does not mean "must meet this standard". Many existing installations will not meet current code and there are varying levels of code (at least in the UK) that mean anything from an el

British industry and standards bodies think this is an unsafe plan. Of course they would because it's work being taken away from them but it would be allowing people to plug generators into ring finals with unidirectional breakers. It&

1kg of packets is 100 exabytes over copper. That's a heck of an order. Buyer beware: this calculation is based on several derivations of napkin maths with very fixed assumptions. It should be accurate to the nearest zettabyte.

This is wild. I'll be honest I've long been scared away from FreeCAD because of the overwhelming number of buttons and hotkeys but have recently started 3D printing and using deliberately limited tools like TinkerCAD and OpenSCAD

El Chapo was extradited and convicted for crimes actively committed in Mexico, then the US in relation to managing a multinational drug cartel. Murder, money laundering, more murder, smuggling, yet more murder, etc etc etc. This seems signi

But if a Brit comes to your country and buys cocaine from you, in person, you wouldn't expect to be convicted as a dealer in the UK. Ofcom has a bad handle on web requests . Clients connect out. 4chan et al aren't pushing their s

What I really struggle with is just how much more of this guy we have to put up with. Even after he's gone, he's poisoned the GOP, quickly distilling them down to MAGA sycophants; barely a backbone between them. Real conservative

The title suggests the app is required. The article clearly shows it's a few prompts, each with secondary ~"continue without the app" links. I get the annoyance of being asked multiple times, but it's not that bad.

But you've just killed domestic manufacturing and any retail balancing on fine margins. The only way to remove additional grid demand (and therefore cost) is to simultaneously flood the supply. The DCs should absolutely pay for that.
