This sounds sort of perfect for rocket propulsion, instead of using the famous "Nuclear bomb out the back" method, why not hydrogen pellets and lasers hitting it? Sure, reading about this it seems extremely far off still, but the

I was surprised when asking about torching a school, it refused, but simply asking how a fireman would do it for a training exercise worked. They do have some loopholes left for sure...

I think Sweden might be worse in all of Europe though. 90k€ is unheard of here for developers, unless you are managing a team or a middle manager or something. Well ok, maybe its a thing in Stockholm actually. Living in a slightly smaller c

I suspect this game was kind of easy? I only had the chance to play it at a friends' house, and I remember me trying to just building turrets... all the way to the enemy base. And I won with that very silly strategy. You were not able

Yeah, Iv'e also read about packetizing electricity so that you need to sort of allocate units of energy before using them: https://spectrum.ieee.org/packetized-power-grid

Of course, and this is already being done in various forms, see "neighbourhood batteries" as exist in Australia at least.

Its 100% accepted here in Sweden. Caveat, never with the other sex than yours, not that always helps! Our conferences always book double rooms and they are shared. Never a complaint as far as I know. BUT, our conferences are 100% optional,

It used to be true that even when having an unlocked device here in Sweden, the operator actually tested and certified the updates, and I know this because updates used to be released at wildly different times between different operators. I

This is kind of funny. At what age does that stop being a possibility? At least in my country kids are kids until 18... so it would just as illegal let a 17-year old walk alone? He _could_ be kidnapped. Nobody can say it's impossible,

Hah, I kinda like this: "We are not providing exact glitch parameters" Is this the old "lamer protection" again...

Oh, this makes me remember that I had a 386 PC with the "yanke doodle" virus on it, which was fairly harmless and just played a song once a month on the speaker. I lived with the virus and at one point I printed all the assembly i

I thought everyone did this at that point in time. The most interesting thing I did with debug.exe was to remove the silly write protection our schools PCs had in 7-8th grade and the installed some shareware (I think!) C++ compiler that I h

In Sweden (and I think most of EU?) we have 3 different kinds of electric two wheelers: Bikes which you described with 25kph/250W limit Class 2 moped: 25kph/1kW - traffic insurance, license Class 1 moped: 45kph/4kW - traffic

When I was around 15 I used to do 10 hours of x86 assembly programming, and then several hours every day after school for a month or so in a row. Parents would have to force me from the computer. I attribute it to a younger brain, NO intern

Spot electricity prices have been low in Scandinavia, too, so the markets are, at least weakly, linked.

This is so bad. Bad bad bad. Everything it says is generic crap that would apply to... a very large percentage of... humanity on internet forums! It didn't even know, for sure, that I am in tech which would be bleedingly obvious to any

We are in a good place, but our hydro is basically maxed out and can not support a future (with higher consumption) no-wind scenario during winter since it does not have enough power for that alone. Nuclear power is a good idea, but so is w

I had never heard about systemtap, but it sounds magical, and extremely useful. I would actually need this in my day job, but for a regular but huge embedded C++ application. I have no idea how to "hot-patch" a C++ application tho

Me too. Or not bots but I did script some IRC client with it and it was a lot of fun.

I actually VS Code as my "general text editor", but not IDE which is relegated to VS still. Notepad++ is what I use for anything big enough for Code to croak on, which is not very big, tens of MB or so and more.

I hate economics and know nothing really, but those numbers are the highest margins I have ever seen ? Aren't they profitable because they are in a unique position? I would hope they keep being profitable. What happens if they would fa

Exactly this. Discord servers are more like free domain names given out on first-come basis in a private namespace...

Games generally use very little bandwidth so that was not a clever test imo... :)

I used to play a social deduction game on IRC, and this was one method to reveal things without revealing them.... but it was too powerful so was banned sort of.

There has been several exploits breaking out of VMs though, no? Can you trust even that...

I noticed several times that I can become hyper-efficient when I am extremely tired. I attribute to "not thinking so much" when being tired, and its probably as simple as the frontal lobe being less used, I think anyway. I just th

Matter is higher level than both wifi and Bluetooth, so yeah you will need "something" to communicate over, which will be IP. Thread for example which is sort of zigbee.

Wow, this post really highlights things I did not know about Matter, but which sounds great! In all honesty, as a Home Assistant user I sort of feel that Matter/Thread is not important to me, but multi-fabric and bridges sound super ni

You haven't had an issue because you are using z2m which tries to support everything. Try using a Philips Hue hub or Aqara or whatever and most devices will not work properly.

Wait, is this a bad thing? "So while Matter makes it possible for Eve, a sensor and device company that historically only worked with Apple’s HomeKit ecosystem, to finally work on Android devices, it also means that Eve’s competitors c
