Regulator approval really isn’t market forces, to tie this to comment above.

The weird thing is 13 days later his temporary successor Han was also impeached, basically because he vetoed two bills doing investigations into Yoon. IIRC, the constitutional court wasn’t fully appointed yet. And also apparently, an impeac

Luckily EV mandates have been rolled back nationally (although not in my state yet). That’s a sure way to drive up the cost of storage anyway, when maybe battery storage is better served for this power station purpose instead. Obviously usi

I guess, but this article seems misleading to me then. The percentages do seem to mean to constant 1GW supply, not a total supply. So what’s the total supply? LV is ~9 Gwh per day (3.3Twh year according to internets), so 23ish Gwh does seem

Yes? Any sort of system that generates power... can generate lots of power if there's more of that system. What I find odd is that it has to be an all-or-nothing approach. Maybe sunny areas can do more with solar, great! But that won&#

just looked at 2, using their own numbers, and it says 97% to 24/365, in a sunny area (Las Vegas), which is like an outage 43 minutes out of every day (24 * 0.03 * 60). That's not what many would consider as 24/365, and certa

1 is not true, 2 maybe, but people haven’t bought EVs beyond the upper middle class segment too. 3 I don’t think it’s employees, but there’s definitely government involvement which has made innovation difficult. Plus, there’s a question if

There’s too much regulation here to compete. Drones are all Chinese too because of all the FAA restrictions on the technology. For EVs, there were the EV mandates, and there are several restrictions on mining the rare earth metals here like

Does that library use the browser's xslt? I'm curious as to the scope of the problem, if html spec drops xslt, what the solutions would be; I've never really used xslt (once maybe, 20 years ago). In addition to just pre-rende

That’s hilarious. Yep still gotta know what you are doing. Good time saver though, if you do.

Cool, glad it works for you, as I said, it is promising. Others might be turned off before they get started. In any case, it's a distraction, and has no business in any open source project. Inviting politics in (if that is what the Nix

Oy, that's disappointing, I hadn't heard that (and yep checked the website; the logo's changed... sigh). I guess I can dismiss NixOS from my list of possible linux distros. I thought Nix's approach was an intriguing idea

That reminds me of an article where the author was like the most disastrous design choices in all of programming, was the NULL-terminated string. It's telling that no other language since C really does that. I think this was it: https

yes, especially the scope and power creep, which is antithetical to what unix was all about. Which was doing one thing, and doing it well. What started as a neat way to start servers in parallel, as systemd handles the sockets, now can cont

I remember the systemd folks talking about this thumb drive portability of your homedir . Seems very niche. Is that the only advantage of homed?

Manage it do what now? Copy files between computers? Like rsync? Or… like iCloud? No on that last one, having Linux require some server seems to defeat the point. Why not a Mac then?

by strawhatguy 1y ago
Yeah big nope on this. Needs to be separate, if it’s useful at all, not systemd “separate”. I don’t run systemd at all, to be safe.

Thinking government can help is wrong to begin with. It can't, it can only get in the way. Perhaps electric vehicles and definitely smaller vehicles could've been more prevalent today without the CAFE rules. Other environmental ru

The motivation of a bureaucrat isn’t the effectiveness of the policies they produce, but instead the political ramifications of those policies. The safety minded “take no risks” at all approach has been if not popular, tolerated because it’

No matter the supposed safety benefit, the driver should be in control of the car, and it’s notifications, permanently disabling them.

That’s the big thing for me. Twitter had its own name for posts. I think it is just posts now.

yeah, cutting waste is caring. And totally right, turns out Dan himself does not care.

Ugh, he had a point until he brought in cutting the government as a bad thing. Seriously, DOGE is sweating the small stuff, trying to get cuts where they can, and that does NOT happen from people who don't care. There's a lot of

Politics works through division by way of laws. Reduce the laws, reduce the division, and therefore politics.

That’s silly, why make it political? If anything the political encroachment came from the green crowd first, cafe standards, EV mandates and the like. The best way forward has always been to explore all energy avenues, and that will include

Mozilla (Eich) wrote JS, and specifically Microsoft wrote the XMLHttpRequest, which allowed Google to exist. And supposedly WASM is to be that thing, so any language can compile down to it. Hasn't totally worked out I guess. A browser

Certainly nodejs and npm getting out of hand was a wakeup call for me, about 15 years ago. I started to view it has a personal failure when I brought in that first dependency, which meant needing all of the packaging and organization just t
