A really nice example. I tracked the data acquisition and fit an ordinary charging curve. For anyone interested, a 25 line script w/ data is here: https://pastebin.com/R0b1XSV0 Som…

I believe you that the efficiency argument played a role when they decided to reduce the life expectancy of the light bulbs. The cartel doing 'cartel-things' aside, the 1000h-limit…

The text you cited was changed just today from > [...] lowered the useful life of such bulbs, which raised their efficiency [...] to > [...] lowered the useful life of such bulbs, …

Oh neat, I didn't know that. Thank you.

Hah, this isn't surprising: An internal leaked Google document ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35813322 ) a couple days ago pretty much pushed the idea. Still interesting to…

Ah, shucks. They don't ship to Europe :( "Please note: because of recently-instituted tax collection requirements, we are no longer shipping to the EU or UK—sorry!"

Whenever I see that C++ added some language extension, I can't help but think about Bjarne Stroustrup's "Remember the Vasa" Paper [1] and wonder if he had meant this type of comple…

I see, thank you and the others.

> Boot chain is typically Firmware → shim → grub ... Is this really true? Or just when using Red Hat systems? I don't know too much about the boot chain, but I always thought that …

Yeah, could be. But still that does not support the argument of "feed the data to western governments". When you say: "Look, the people from village A north are stealing apples fro…

I see your point. But then how is the accusation 'west scans internet' connected to 'see this map of countries of origin'? Because I thought he would back up this claim with this s…

> feed the data to western governments It is ironic that the very link [1] you provided proves you wrong. The top 5 countries of origin doing IP scanning in the last seven days are…

I think the solely reason why JPEG XL did not go off is simple: It had no lobby. No large tech company actively promotes it and so, many people hadn't heard of it. Ironically, the …

Excuse me Sir, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour Jesus Christ?

Yeah, it's quite a well written paragraph in terms of style. Really good story-telling. And it starts so innocent as well, building up something rather mundane with trivial short a…

> That leads us to the end of Hans Niemann’s foray into cycling – his dalliance with the sport that is mostly remarkable for how unremarkable it is. And that’s fine. Kids start rid…

I disagree: Using docker makes it incredibly easy to tinker without real consequences or hassle. Want to try out - say - Heimdall? Create a docker-compose.yml file, an nginx revers…

Reliability. That's what Google traded for a quick and sudden exit. I think the damage is far greater than the rather small number of people in and around Stadia. I guess there is …

Is this even comparable? I mean, for C you have a three-way comparison and for C++ there is only a two-way comparison. If you run the code by yourself you end up that C (while call…

Such simulations usually consist of three major systems (atmosphere, land, and ocean) that are coupled together at their geometric boundaries by a coupler that 'communicates' value…

In the article, Gleixner is quoted to have said this: "printk() is the last thing I am going to clean up [...]. Then I am going to hand over to young people [...]." Does he imply t…

Odd text. Take a look at the first figure with the heading "Landfalling US Hurricanes have declined". 1) If the citation indicates that the figure comes from the year 2018, how can…
