    9.4% is Gas + Biomass (not clean) But there’s a generation surplus and export of +13.4%!

    Consider that you, and most of the community here, wouldn't have jobs if that were the case. XD

    It works fine for the point that they were making. Which is that the fact that restaurants have to certify for food safety training and pass regular inspection is perfectly reasona…

    Well in many countries this is the case. But it's an interesting thing to raise, because so often when they do enforce those controls - the outcry is 'bank won't let me do what I w…

    AI Account. Everything in that account has appeared in the last 6mo. Very unnatural commit activity, and clearly contradicts the claim that this is their first OS project. Is linke…

    This is quite common already, where they’ll offer a higher performance tier, but that power only comes from the engine control unit, no physical differences. It makes even more sen…

    Wouldn’t disagree, but have I got bad news for you. Global utilisation rates are very low. 5~15% I guess the reality is that solving that would require a practically impossible lev…

    Interesting. Coming from Spring to Ktor, being able to easily inspect the internal workings has been one of my favourite bits! It’s ‘advanced’ kotlin in there for sure, and takes s…

    I’m personally not convinced by the theory of ortho. It seems to stem from the idea that stagger is a hangover from the typewriter, in which it was required to make room for the me…

    Thanks - I figure its step away in terms of target platform. I meant a little more in the way that software is packaged and run. My understanding is that theres a similar mechanism…

    Is it similar to NixOS? Recent convert, would be interested to read a comparison to fuchsia from someone in the know of both. If it’s anywhere close Google might be sat on a huge o…

    There’s no doubt better docs will help improve the state of Android Apps. But this is about stemming the flow of shovelware into the store, (todolist tutorial no 800000, but I chan…

    Is there any good data/analysis on how prevalent attacks on these devices are? I’m always on the fence with this stuff. As an engineer I like having access to my device, and the fr…

    Yeah I thought it was an e-ink clock XD. Then I realised that the Windows 3.1 design language might actually be a really good fit for an OS that targets e-ink for computers & large…
