China has a significant investment in solar and wind power - is that just to convince us it's a good idea to buy it?

Barely related tangent - but the speed of how quickly this site populated the full list of all these UUIDs (it's likely static) made me remember this site https://unicode.org/emoji…

I had an identical experience: in my area all of the comments were disparaging ethnic groups and having lived here my entire life the specific groups targeted were not even accurat…

Thanks - I actually used cactus and llama years ago when I got interested in playing diablo 2 again and it was really cool to try out the older versions of the game and to play aro…

> Some day I'll have to write a blog post about how a group of local politicians can write a law that ends up having that effect. I would love to read about this :)

Tangential - I just watched this and found it very interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-N-fgKWYGU

I agree that clicking on what appears to be a placeholder but instead acts as a label should at the very least focus the input box so you're prompted to type in it. However the UI …

> Also a good reminder that it's a very good idea to have the screen lock after a set time — even if it's long. It's wild to me especially with how important the device itself and …

Yeah if you give it the dimensions of a standard gaylord (48x40) it tries to stack the boxes in a really strange way with smaller boxes occupying the space below larger boxes and c…

Good to hear. I was in the ER in March 2020 initially because I thought I was having a heart attack but ultimately with what I assume was COVID. It's been a journey but I am doing …

Good point, I am not sure they can compete with the smaller arm development boards in that regard!

I agree with you about dev boards but I think their post was focused on things like used NUCs or other small x86 machines that are only marginally larger than a Pi in an enclosure …

fwiw revving the engine while stationary wouldn't really put much (if any) load on the engine

You'de be really surprised how irrelevant a major and degree can be - for example I used to work with an engineer who carries a highly technical PhD and required extensive assistan…

anecdotally - I feel windows has gone the opposite direction and switched places with linux in terms of ease of installation. I've been using Linux for decades now but had to insta…

I _almost_ posted it to my internal team until I saw IM Used :)

You could make the argument that this is more of a GNU + Linux than an operating system unto itself.

I wonder if they will also block the thousands of users posting misleading information about covid and vaccines as well? (narrator: they won't)

I'm still missing it. If we were talking about alcohol consumption "slow down and think about it" absolutely makes sense: I might be having fun in my 20s binge drinking but there a…

Honest question - I know exactly where the "mask in the car" trope came from and why you're repeating it here but: why does it matter and why is it germane to this topic?

weirdly I interpreted "long life" as a continually running program vs something that had a very clear input, short lived execution, and a clearly defined output.

To each their own, but I do not. Lenovo remains my "goto" if I have to buy a laptop (though Framework has more or less replaced them) and the main reason for that was the Trackpoin…

has anyone earned that label but later been found not guilty?

curious why this was downvoted, is it incorrect in some way? anecdotally my org is doing just this however I am not sure if that does or does not count against whatever metrics wer…
