> A few rare spikes up to 40c/kWh, but it's mostly been under 1c/kWh. The cheapest rate I can get in NL is ~30c/kwh, and that’s with a dynamic price contract. The government has applied an artificial limit of 40c&#x2F

I completely get what you’re saying - but this is not an /amateur/ release? Clearly the author cares a lot about design, has put together a blog and repo, launched the theme for obsidian and iterm, etc Edit: Not sure why you’re fr

Hostility is taking it too far, but I think it’s quite odd that the author has neglected to provide any screenshots in their blog post or readme despite dedicating a lot of text to justify their color choices and design.

I usually don't jump on the "Google cancels everything" train, but do keep in mind that Stacks is a project from their Area 120 incubator, which saw heavy layoffs [1]. It's not on the remaining list, so it may have alrea

In the Netherlands, government bodies are regularly pushing everything they can to a digital inbox - which I vastly prefer. My simple, single-employer yearly income tax is all pre-calculated. Further, deductions for mortgage interest, healt

Currently, snapped windows jump around Spaces and resize for every monitor connection/resolution change. It’s incredibly frustrating to not have any consistent behavior. 3P apps can’t solve this as there is no public API for managing w

It would backup Apple’s claims of fairness with real data.

100% both Apple and Google should be on trial. Both the bribe giver and receiver are at fault. Especially when the latter makes a huge hullabaloo around user privacy that the former does not support.

If you must agree to a revenue share deal, in order to be considered an alternative search engine by Apple - I would consider that forceful.

They should provide data on % of users who have changed the default search engine, and the ratio of searches via Google vs the others. Plus, the option only applies to Safari - not Spotlight or Siri, which are presumably used more often. It

No, I’m saying you have completely misunderstood QE. 1 is the upper limit - 100% efficiency. You can’t just say 50% is very close to 100%!

Multilingual support extends much further than just assistant speech recognition - translation and transliteration, keyboard input, media captioning are places where I find current OSes lacking.

AFAIU McDonald’s sets menu prices, so presumably they make sure franchises can be net positive despite item costs and fees.

I don’t think you’re being reasonable. The mailing list email does not describe the developers background nor provide context - whereas the Phoronix article does.

Yep, it baffles me too. But as we can observe - Big Tech can totally ignore multilingual support and still make billions of dollars!

by yunohn 3y ago
Most of Big Tech is sleeping on multilingual support, purely because the USA is still their primary revenue stream. Someday, they’ll start focusing on the rest of the world and we’ll see real advancements in this space…

Your comment also seems incoherent. You’re comparing the concept of economy-wide inflation with the basic supply-demand economics for one item.
