    More or less none. Energy prices are a domestic mismanagement issue and pre-date the Brexit situation, unfortunately.

    Wasn't suggesting it was the cause, just pointing out we seem to have done little to invest in other forms of power. Wind has its place, but it will struggle to provide consistent …

    It's a work in progress for sure, but it's certainly not cheap. Getting enough battery storage will be a mammoth task. From the aricle, Europe's (then) biggest battery could supply…

    I was referring to this article which quotes the IEA for industrial energy costs at around $0.085/kWh, versus $0.34/kWh in the UK. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/09/26/b…

    I sense you might not be arguing in good faith, but here's at least a mild effort to placate you. > Since when? As of 2023, high, but not highest. Since 2024, at least. [1][2] > Co…

    Queen Elizabeth II had no involvement in the decision to defend the Falklands, other than perhaps some private counsel with the then Prime Minister, just as King Charles III will h…

    Bittersweet. Glad to be moving away from coal, but the lack of serious investment in anything but wind energy has left the UK with the highest electricity prices in the developed w…

    It’s not running TS directly, it’s just preconfigured to transpile TS to JS without the user having to bring extra tooling. Neat, but you’ll see the docs still recommend tsc for ty…

    Any evidence for this? Airliners have steadily gotten more fuel efficient at a rate of about 1.3% per year since the 1960s, driven by fierce competition. If someone could produce a…

    Bad analogy. It’s more like your average lower income family eats more fast food than average high income families We could ban fast food because it increases cancer risk and say t…

    Yeah, tend to agree here. The idea that the west knows best and less developed countries need a saving from themselves feels wrong to me. The data is out there, it’s trivial for th…

    Cloudflare sells domains at cost so yeah, they’re cheaper. Downside is they don’t have as extensive TLD support as Namecheap, but they’re slowly improving.

    I commend anyone for trying to make the tooling ecosystem better, but I’ve never once thought Prettier was too slow. It runs in a fraction of a second on file save. The performance…
