Electricity can still be more efficient for many of these with heat pumps, like indoor heating and steam production. The gap is smaller then for working engines of cause.

And Germany right now have battery storage equivalent of fully powering Germany for about 30 minute sand raising up every month, which is quite wild.. https://battery-charts.de/ Wi…

How is seasonal storage relevant here? This is the usual few-hours-fluctuations, I assume? (can't read the article)

They are working on that https://battery-charts.de/

Word and Excel seems to change behavior on every release. I don't think it's something Gimp should try to chase. Gimp has save: "Save native gimp file" and export "Export an image …

'Opening a JPEG' is creating a new image and importing the JPEG to it. ctrl-e on first use will establish the export setting. It's two clicks if you really want to overwrite the or…

There was the GIMP Coffee stain filter (though it looks like it is not included in Gimp 3). https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/script-fu-coffee-stain.html

It's a blog. It references an interview. The post is also four month old. "In the Pipeline" is generally a fantastic resource on the pharma industry and chemistry news.

I would say it might, with the 'zi' variant (cd with interactive selection (using fzf)).

Yea, can we get one of a CT scanner?

This is why the trial was stopped due to efficacy.

I'm not sure I see the problem: 'Export', and 'Export as' works as 'Save' and 'Save as'. This i like 'Export to PDF' in a word processor. If you never save in GIMP, I suppose you d…

Why is shift-ctrl-E for 'export' difficult?

"The Firecracker Boys: H-Bombs, Inupiat Eskimos, and the Roots of the Environmental Movement" by Dan O'Neill is highly recommended.

Perhaps because of https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2021/04/28/ru...

Not quite the same, but "Life on the Infinite Farm" https://www.math.brown.edu/reschwar/farm.pdf

Yes, and it almost killed the company. I read an article a while back how they had no accounting from the designers to production, and literately had 8 different chef minifigs (als…

My dad complained about modern specialized lego bricks 30 years ago. I got some of his old bricks from the 50's. They got some weird shapes too. Nothing changed.

yes, it's great! It doesn't have alt to enter normal commands from insert mode (double the number of lines). It doesn't have (Vim 8) terminal mode.

A similar concept, it seems, Andrew Chaikin's "A Man on the Moon" is a fantastic read.

I think it is a commonly held view that HC Andersen conceived of TLM after his unreciprocated love interest in his (male) friend. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hans-christian-ande…

fzf never struck me as the slightest bit slow. What am I doing wrong? You can configure it with an external previewer that can of cause be arbitrarily slow or bloated but you can h…

Or use 'shuf' for passwords: shuf -r -e --random-source=/dev/urandom {a..z} {0..9} {A..Z} | paste -d "" -s | fold -w 25

I used to run a couple of hundred servers and workstations with SLES and openSUSE with btrfs for /. Just SUSE's vanilla supported setup, and user data on smb/nfs filers. I tended t…
