For electricity generation, the UK is currently generating 50% via renewables. It goes up and down each day of course, storage is not a solved problem yet. Nice visualisations of the current status: https://grid.iamkate.com&#x

In this case the problem can't easily be blamed on "the system". Government benefits are this way because politicians have for years blamed "benefit cheats" and "welfare queens" and other boogymen, people

Fascinating article, and I never realized until now that I drive past the location of Richard II's original burial site every few days. (Apparently he was reburied at Westminster Abbey.)

Unfortunately it's not safe as the kernel can still write to (what it thinks is) the old filesystem on the device, which will introduce corruption to the new disk image. However a fun fact is that you can (do not actually do this!) b

Their garbage software hasn't hurt them, it's unlikely that one developer being fired will make any difference.

Ah yes, these 68000 pointers have a spare 8 bits for me to use! Because nothing will ever need more than 16 MB of memory. Sigh.

Tcl/Tk is pretty good in terms of rapid development. Unfortunately it has stagnated quite a lot over the years. Gtk on the other hand is absolutely terrible and its developers don't help by completely rewriting things every few y

Nice, I didn't know there was a free software version of Delphi nowadays.

This is quite timely as we need to write a simple UI for Windows (a few buttons, status, maybe a file menu). The main constraint is it must compile to a single binary (.exe) with no dependencies such as runtimes, DLLs, languages etc. It a

My team has at least one person in every continent (except Africa and the Antarctic, but we do have someone on Réunion), so meetings are and will always be video conferences.

Better to link to the site itself, or one of the reviews? For an example of a review (picked pretty much at random) see: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260318151256.2590375-1-andr... The original patch series co

No, it's reviewing patches posted on LKML and offering suggestions. The original patch posted corresponding to your link was this, which was (presumably!) written by a human: https://lkml.org/lkml/2026/3&#x2F

Modern sshd limits the number of retries. I have 5 or 6 keys and end up DoSing myself sometimes.

In an iterated game, either people would be happy to lose occasionally small amounts like $5 (with the benefit to society that insider knowledge is revealed), or if they didn't like losing even small amounts they'd learn not to be
