    Hot does not necessarily mean good solar production. Solar production in winter can be equally good (although days are shorter). Also the efficiency of panels decreases with higher…

    First important step is the need to make your application faster. Second step is to actually make it faster. And I would say 99% of the time you can make applications faster withou…

    Coincidentally a few days ago, also for a sorting algorithm, I stumbled over a situation where replacing the branchless cmov with branching instructions actually made the code 30% …

    As a Java developer I'm a bit sad that we don't have a choice :)

    Of course sick leave has increased in Germany, but the main reason is reporting. Since 2022 in Germany there is a new electronic sick note and doctors report every certificate dire…

    Not useless. It is like the missing printer driver for Linux Desktop. It makes the experience ugly, but this is not the fault of the Linux OSes. Also the bank should not require ap…

    Even if these models are so strong that they become a security threat if in the wrong hands this arbitrary and intransparent regulation worries me. Not for the current SOTA model v…

    The current costs do not have to be sustainable for the SOTA model providers as they grow their user base. But I really wonder about the future as the costs have to increase at som…

    I think the German Personalausweis has an electronic ID function that does this: age verification without giving out other information like name etc. But the application chooses wh…

    Wow. This is crazy. And not only much more expensive but the standardization means you have to buy more disk if you e.g. just need more RAM or similar. And does the standardization…

    Two important things for this discussion: 1. the difference for the (public) elder care (Pflegeversicherung) is already there: a fee of 2.4% vs. 1.8% with kids (or much less with m…
