I wouldn't go as far as telling something is badly written just because it's written to work on one platform. It can be an exceptional application even when it only works using a s…

Specifically for Video encoding I'd look into benchmarks about what certain ARM architectures can do. Not all encoders can correctly utilize them and they may end up very slow.

Annual purchases don't have setup fees as far as a I know, but it's probably just a way to charge more if you're only using it for a short while

I'd say the part >versus the AWS shop where the Dynamo guy knew the innards of the database by chapter and verse) Definitely has a big impact on it. The angle at which people appro…

I wonder how that would fare in our climate in finland, where the ground freezes and thaws all the time, breaking just about everything we lay in it, including roads, signs, pipes,…

This is anecdotal of course, but for me cooling with AC is easily over half of energy bills I get.

Cloud pricing for bandwidth is really limiting for a lot of applications. For comparison you can get a 1gbit/s line with your server on OVH EU for about $100/mo, which you could ut…

Doesen't /64 mean that you can't create additional subnets within your ISP given range? I thought /56 was the smallest allocation an ISP could make for a residential allocation. I …

I've been browsing their site for a few minutes now and I'm still lost on what Fleet actually is. It says it's a new IDE, built from scratch, sure, but isn't IntelliJ already the g…

A thing to consider is the average means there are tons of older cars in the mix, but some new ones slowly creeping in. There are lots of cars from the 90s or even 80s driving arou…

We already have a lot of excess capacity at night. Slowly charging EVs could even be a net-boon for required peaker plants if people could cover their own needs for the 15% of the …

Covering only 95% cases means you save a lot of money, part of which can be used for those rare events. Does taking a taxi to see a dying relative a couple hundred miles away cost …

Going anywhere where EV couldn't reach would most often require some sort of reservations; hotels, skiing resorts, museums, sight seeing etc all require some sort of planning if yo…

>you can't dangle a cable from your house to your car (which may not be outside of your house). That must vary between countries, because I've seen tons of outlets on the outside w…

Some parking spaces may be designed for bursting loads, and the wires actually do heat up if used continuously. They may still need upgrades for EVs, but overall should be only a m…

And people's plans are already made for whatever days they get, so unless there's a sudden influx of vacations, more trips just won't happen. That is of course expecting people can…

Considering we've switched from overhanging wires to putting our electric infrastructure underground (very, very expensive), I think we can pull off upgrades in parking lots too.

The average age of a car is ~12[0] years in Finland. Out of the 7 people I often interact with that have cars, 7 have had those, and a lot of other parts fail [0] https://moottori.…

Depends on your aparment blocks of course. Over here we have parking spaces for residdents living in apartments, which have electrical outlets. The space is already there, just nee…

People in hot countries still tend not to drive several hundred mile trips trough the desert, they work reasonably close to where they live. For whatever around-the-globe fun trip …

Unless employers suddenly start handing out extra months worth vacations, an extra family trip sounds unlikely, let alone 10.

With the generally available rewriteable blu-ray capacity, doing this would be quite burdensome to archive even some couple terabytes. Would recommend multiple online harddrives, p…

There is no single good answer for this. Data generally needs to be constantly taken care of to survive. This will necessarily require some amount of trust since you can't be in co…
