The article is about the 13MW Haliade-X tubine, but on part of the Doggerbank (Sofia wind park) an even larger 14MW Siemens Gamesa turbine will be installed. As short as maybe 5 years ago >10MW turbines were thought of as unlikely in the

I have never come across the use of satisfied for "persuaded by argument or evidence" before. (yes, I had to look it up, not a native speaker) Is this usage common or just some kind of legalese?

Floating versions of those machines (dredging vessels) are in the 300M range. And the offshore installation vessel Pioneering Spirit came in at 2.6B: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneering_Spirit_(ship)

Recently wasted a morning at the office swapping all variants of Dell thunderbolt and USB-c docks, kept getting weird USB errors. Most frustrating was I couldn't reproduce the error at the helpdesk with same dock. The weirdest thing wa

Thanks! Too bad SvelteKit is still in beta, cause I don't feel inclined investing any time in Sapper now I know that that is going to be deprecated. Guess I'll have to be brave and try it out npm init svelte@next

Can I use svelte as an alternative to nuxt.js? I want to create a simple website where most of the content is written in markdown, that is rendered to static html (that can be hosted on e.g. netlify). As it is kind of a hobby project, might

Yep, bugged me too. Looked at the js source to see what clicked items I missed. Then guessing the password was a lot easier. Also trying the cheaphash function in the console was a lot faster than entering then keep reentering the username.

Nice food for thought. For those like me that read the comments first: "To sum up: If a function is only called from a single place, consider inlining it. If a function is called from multiple places, see if it is possible to arrange f

Great, was not aware of that at all. Was quite flabbergasted at how so little (albeit very dense) code could generate such a lively scene without any use of textures etc.

The only place I know where a lot of houses are made of wood are Scandinavia and North America. In the rest or Europe most houses are made of bricks and/or concrete as far as I can tell.

How long do they last on a battery? I have the older version https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32845863956.html which runs on a about 9 months on a rechargeable AAA penlite. But I could use a few more and these new ones

Ubiquity definitely also has a lot of issues. Unstable firmware's, non-responsive support on their forums, deprecating working products... Like you can't self host their DVR software, but the newest versions don't run on olde

Nice idea. I would love to know how the fretboard visualizer works and looks like, but am too lazy to install and run the tool. Could you add an animated gif or at least some screenshots?

I'm personally a great fan of esphome.io. Use simple yaml files to configure a firmware built exactly to your whishes for various esp32 and esp8266 variants. Includes support for a ton of peripherals. The list of supported hardware is

Exactly, jsonschema allows one to describe exactly how the json should look like including inter field validation. And with tools like reactjsonschemaform you can generate a ui on top of it for free.

It is also great for string all dependencies for development together in a docker-compose file. On any machine you just have to git clone and open vscode in the container and you are good to go. Even if you require a particular version of p

Pretty impressive battery for the price. Speed-pedelec bikes (electric assisted bikes capable of 45km/h, with <1kWh batteries) cost about the same.
