You still don't pay VAT if installed by an MCS accreddited installer. Also commute by train, and yeah, it's not cheap. My season ticket is £11k a year!

If you just want to come out cost neutral, the battery required is far smaller when paired with a large enough array, and a time-of-use tariff. With 3 EV's in the house, and a 12.8kWp array, with a 10kWh battery, charging overnight in

You're absolutely correct! This IS satire -- I'll make sure to use that in my future responses.

I worked on Integrity at Meta for 4 years, including a stint on the child safety team. Absolutely, I would have been fine with the stock not growing as fast (it would still have grown, Meta has billions of users), as would every single one

Our driving test standards are also high, having spoken with US colleagues, much higher than state-side (although I imagine that varies from state to state). The theory test you must pass before taking your practical also now includes a haz

Correct - it's a LIMIT not a TARGET.

It worked very well, as I mentioned, Marc21 (the interchange format for bibliographic data) is heirarchical, not relational, so there was already a better impedance match. Then with URL's being the primary identifiers, it was trivial t

The problem becomes, 8 tablets a day, minimum of 4 hours between doses is fine for a week or so, but do that for months and the liver toxicity creeps up on you.

Has the study stratified for improved diagnosis? When I was a child in the 80's teachers weren't looking for the telltale signs, but you better believe there were autistic poeople, they just weren't diagnosed.

At this point you can't convince me that we couldn't just replace most CEO's and VP's with LLM's and get the same, or better, outcomes.

Might be - also, in the UK at least where most houses are on a TN-C-S electric supply (earth and neutral are the same conductor) if there's a break on the neutral and you don't have an earthing rod (PEN fault) the car can be at hi

The e-UP is most definitely a "city" car - which for most european commuters is more than enough range-wise.

I got my son a 2022 e-UP! as his first car when he passed his test - it's a RIDICULOUSLY fun car to drive, feels much faster than it is and is very direct handling wise. It's a fantastic city car, and he's even done some long

Yes and no. I worked for a company that went hard into "Semantic Web" tech for libraries (as in, the places with books), using an RDF Quad Store for data storage (OpenLink Virtuoso) and structuring all data as triples - which is a

The "WTF" list technique is great for this. Every time you see, or encounter, something that makes you go "WTF?!??" you write it down. Chances are you don't have NEARLY enough context yet to figure out why it's

That I/O die will do little if sent hundreds of amps all of a sudden.

This. One of the biggest things I see in junior engineers that I mentor (working in backend high throughput, low latency, distributed systems) is not working out all of the various failure modes your system will likely encounter. Network pa

OK, now move your palm over half, and then over 3 quarters of the trackpad. Two fingers to scroll still works.

Fun fact - the same people who managed to inch the Brexit vote over the line were also involved in killing AV ... a certain Dominic Cummings and his gang.

Yep - I came away from this as someone who hasn't touched Rust yet as "Yes, it's complicated, but that's for good reasons, because all of these complicated things work very well together to make writing software better .

I like the pattern of including each prompt used to make a given PR, yes, I know that LLM's aren't deterministic, but it also gives context of the steps required to get to the end state.

The capability was indeed there - but the various tricks and optimisations used in this game are very much "building on the shoulders of giants".

+1 on the signal. A great candidate won't need you to pry further than asking about backpressure, they'll explain WHY it's not necessary for the qps, what qps it would start becoming necessary, and how they would build it int

They also get who actually passed the bill wrong - it was the last Conservative government.

And because the tax years don't line up, it's more costly than filing just in the US, or just in the EU, plus if you moved with a company and were granted RSU's in the US, or keep property or assets in the US ... it's ju

Not OP, but off the top of my head, it's a complete OS, kernel and user land are released as a whole. I last ran it about two decades ago, so it's been a while.

Well, there's also cultural reasons. If the government of Japan entrusts you to self regulate on the basis of open access and no restrictions a Japanese business will understand the weight of expectations that have been placed on them.

I'm in the UK on a 900Mbps symmetric for £40 a month. Turns out regulation can be a good thing - first of all, OpenReach (the infrastructure part of BT that was split up post privatisation) are regulated in how much they can charge oth
