I have an EliteBook 845 G7 and also that one is top notch, minus the screen and driver bug on the WWAN modem. I whish HP did not include a keypad though on the bigger screen sizes …

At work I am limited to using HP but I have to say that I have been very pleasantly surprised by the HP EliteBook 845 G7 (Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U). When I bought it new in 2020 it had in…

No AUR package yet it seems, but a PKGBUILD is already provided so I would assume it is not too much of hassle to take it for spin: https://docs.safing.io/portmaster/install/linux#…

There are modern alternative systems with an open firmware stack, for example the Talos II running Power9. Granted, it is not available as a cheap, slick and slim power efficient l…

Very cool :-) Regarding usability: I keep getting confused by the controls: indicating where you want to go vs which thruster to use. Back in yonder days I used to play Lunar Lande…

These generator+gearbox combo's operate at efficiencies (mechanical to electrical power) in the order of 80-90%. I would assume it will be quite challenging to do that with a 100m …

Exactly. Other concept studies have looked at driving mechanical pumps to feed hydraulic pressure into a network [1], or (at a very small scale) mechanically drive a desalination u…

In the server/workstation space you can also opt in for an expensive Raptor Talos II system (but you'll get Power instead of x86). There is very little competition in the space for…

I agree with what others have mentioned here: I really like your elegant workflow (thanks for sharing!!). I also like that it is generally applicable to any collection of PDFs. How…

Other features I use often are: * manage to-do-lists based on the page they occur, and/or their tags, deadlines and priority level. * table of contents for a larger one page note *…

I think the official documentation is here: https://seaborn.github.io/api.html https://seaborn.github.io/tutorial.html

I participated in the crowd funding phase (waiting for my router to arrive later this year), and they have just updated their IndieGogo project page: https://www.indiegogo.com/proj…

Not exactly like the Pi's, and coming in with 5 Gig Ethernet ports is the Turris Omnia: https://omnia.turris.cz/en/ . It is intended to be a router, and not really a Pi clone thoug…

There's also LiquidFeedback [1] maintained by the Public Software Group of Berlin, difficult to judge how actively developed it is since they use their own Mercurial hosting [2]. I…

Part 1 has been discussed on HN a week ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11041210

There is not too much information on their home or github page. There's more hints an pointers in the documentation http://adhocracy3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ , but it would be i…

It is right there in the second paragraph on the about page: https://github.com/liqd/adhocracy3

ars technica reviewed the article a couple of days ago: http://arstechnica.com/science/2016/02/winners-act-as-thick-...

Exactly, the paper also expresses hopes that people continue to study of human social interaction: >> Moving forward, experiments in artificial social contexts like ours appear to …

Ultimately, what this paper means to me is that there is evidence (based on simplified conditions, granted) that people collaborate better when they believe they will receive a fai…

Only discovered MUBI today via HN. Looks great! There is one annoyance (which I also have with Netflix): I live in Denmark, but I am not fluent in Danish. Not all your movies have …

Very annoying when the source to the real report that is being discussed is not included. So here it is, in Spanish [pdf]: http://www.unodc.org/documents/bolivia/Informe_Monitoreo_…

The plan sounds hopelessly naive but it did bring Indiegogo down at the time of writing. I guess that is something :-) It does place things in perspective though. It will not solve…

In Belgium, you are allowed to do this. When I moved to Copenhagen I was seriously annoyed for the reasons you mentioned when I realized I had to first cross, wait and only then go…
