Is it possible to run it without the kernel module? That would make it way simpler to use with docker!

Why is the speedometer and basic control UI not sandboxed from the rest of the GUI? Particularly the web browser?

Every UI toolkit on Windows is/was based on Win32 (except XAML). There are so many places where it leaks it's not even funny anymore. UI consistency isn't Windows strongest point. I'm glad they're trying to fix it.

The article is impossible to read on mobile because of ads. After a few seconds it redirects to some shady website.

> geographic diversity in wind goes a long way toward addressing intermittency This is unfortunately not true. Taking the whole Europe, either the wind blows everywhere, or it doesn't [1]. 1. https://www.vive-le-nucleaire

If there is no safe levels of radiations, then I hope OP doesn't get near other people because a human body radiates 5000-7000 Bq. Hopefully he lives in a lead bunker because the earth telluric a background radiation ranges from 1mSv&#

Nuclear energy in an violent political climate or war is indeed something to consider. Centralized doesn't mean monolithic. Centralized under one entity, but distributed in nature. France has 58 nuclear reactors (one of the greatest an

Yes, this is exactly what a dam is (pumping or releasing, or using rain). Hydo is very cool, and very green. Some things to remember, however: - need to drown whole valleys (very high impact on local wildlife) - energy density is not that g

While the OP's statement is factually untrue, fear of nuclear is one of the biggest reason indeed.

Centralization is not a bad thing, because energy usage is mutualized. Taking France as an example, the total installed capacity is 400GW, but the actual power consumption is between 60GW and 110GW. So you need some form of mutualization, u

Alas that still doesn't solve intermittency. Even offshore is intermittent. 60% is very high, all the figures I saw where closer to 25%. Also, nuclear reactors are deployed (Taishan 1 & 2, Hinkley Point, Flamanville...). It is true

5 MW is the total sum of rated power output of all stations. If we take into account the actual power output, that's actually much lower (from 1.5x to 5-10x). See loads for wind and solar.

According to the article, one station is rated at ~100kW (that's maximum power output). A typical nuclear 3rd generation nuclear reactor outputs ~900MW-1GW. Assuming an impossible 100% charge (ratio between rated and actual generated p

Solar is not only intermittent (day/night) but also varies greatly with nebulosity. I would think waves still exist at night. Also, they advertise the maximum power output, not the actual power output (wind as a ~20% actual power outpu

Not until you factor in energy storage, at which point it’s far more expensive, and carbon intensive.

That is a bold statement. This is not only related to the size of the company but rather the size of the project. For instance if the project requires polyglot build or codegen (gRPC does both for instance), Bazel will shine and save a lot

It is true that you rarely start with a new build system. Bazel is hard in the same way Rust is hard. If you port your existing project to it, chances are you will run into issues because you were doing things wrong with respect to hermetic

To each their own I guess. I’ve been using it for the last 2 years, and I am not doing any project again without it. Bazel is not that complex if you start a project with it. Migrating to it and learning it at the same time will be hard tho

It's crazy how some things can rapidly go from breakthrough to commodity nowadays. It reminds me of early drones vs ArduPilot in a way.
