I have the email address problem, but that's the only paramter that needs to vary. I use the simplest way of handling this, which is this in my .config/git/config: [user] name = "My Name" useCo

Your points (2) and (3) are presented as fact but I'm not sure the data would support it. Anecdotally, from talking to people in the UK, it's the people who work 4 days a week who work over their hours more. Sometimes they end up

This is doable only by Starlink because they're so low. They'll have very high gain antennas on the satellite - all satellite telephony needs that, these ones are presumably extra good. I'm more interested in Doppler and timi

I think it's a spectrum cost issue or a coordination issue. LTE spectrum is eye wateringly expensive, but maybe more affordable places where it's not possible to put a mast! It's either that, or whatever the logistics are aro

You can always add vertical tab support. What you can't do is turn off the normal tabs across the top. So any side tab solution (I use TST) also needs some userChrome.css.

TCP is a stream with no packet boundaries. If you want to separate that stream into a series of messages then you need to do packetisation. The SLIP delimiter approach is a pretty good one. You're right that it was originally for segme

No, you're right that this approach is ok for TCP streams. I shouldn't have thrown that in there without clarification that I meant something more generic. I actually use SLIP for packetisation over TCP anyway, because then syncin

You've basically got two ways of handling this: Using a delimiter to mark end of packet. For text protocols we usually use "\n" to be the delimiter. This usually requires some escaping in the packet to make it unambiguous. Tw

A lot of these discussions seem to be ignoring control inputs. Many, many games only work well when you have an analogue stick and ideally some physical buttons. On-screen controls just aren't the same. A lot of the technology has a lo

I think my point is that wlroots is a set of building blocks, rather than a single library. You can't build an unopinionated single library that just takes care of the Waylandness of your DE, that you can build on top of. The compositi

In Rust you have the option to Box and/or Rc everything. That gets you out of all the borrowing problems at the cost of rubtime performance (it basically puts you in the C++ world). This is a perfectly reasonable way to program but peo

The simple version is that there are two use cases - the world where you want the size of types to match the target (e.g. int) and the world where sizes are defined by the coder (uint32_t). You want to handle both of those. That's a n

ActivityPub does have a big advantage over the other options - it's proven to work, at scale, for a variety of systems. It looks bad compared to some other options partly because it's had much more battletesting to find those weak

It's interesting that Linux gaming has managed to largely avoid this problem - by targeting Windows. By which I mean: Proton (and DXVK etc.). Proton has got so good that the best way of making games work on Linux is to target Proton an

Yes, this about turn is clearly a result of deciding the the bill is likely to actually pass and therefore they should get on board and steer it in the direction that they want.

What other batteries are in mass manufacture that charge this fast?
324.
by rkangel 3y ago
They say 4C and a Model 3 battery pack is apparently 60kWh so that would be 240kW. That's ignoring inefficiency though, so we're talking significant fractions of a megawatt to charge one car.

I agree on the origin of keyword lists but they do have a useufl property - the same key can appear multiple times. That's why they're right for varargs - because nothing stops the user using the same argument multiple times and s

Keyword lists are from Erlang's history really. Erlang didn't have maps or records for a long time and used keyword lists to perform a similar function.

He compares it to the "academic approach" of starting with background etc. But that's not what an academic paper actually starts with - it starts with an abstract that very briefly lays out the whole thing.
