Thank you, I thought it was quite curious that the leading phase in the coverage was organic farming this and that - it is also rather difficult to find a different take on this.

Yeah, I don't think Reuters is correct here. Everything I'm seeing is that a nuclear plant produces around 1 gigawatt, so we'd be talking about thousands of nuclear plants.

https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=104&t=3

Also probably helpful to think about it on a per person basis. Another comment corrected me that Germany has 80 million people, so let's use that. 8000 gigawatts (8 terawatts) divided by 80 million looks like 8,000,000,000,000 watts / 80,000,000 persons gives you 100,000 watts per person which does not seem realistic. With my air conditioner running at full blast, that's probably just a couple kilowatts, and that covers 3 people. Lights use a few watts. A beefy computer is around 100 watts.

It's possible that Reuters got gigawatts and gigawatt hours confused.
That is correct and solves the roundtrip-problem (in this case and language). But uppercase 'ẞ' is just an additional option at the discretion of the writer, the recommended variant continues to be 'SS'.

I'm not interested about gRPC right now.

API auth is complicated in insomnia, but there is a clever way to use variables/env to solve it once and for all. So that's also a non-issue in this comparison.

Insomnia UI/UX is still much better/prettier (Postman is ugly + bad UX).

So the only great point for now is how the data is stored. I don't know why Insomnia hasn't fixed this on their end yet; their sync is so bad because of this.

This point makes me interested in trying out your app but I already have large projects on Insomnia. How can I transfer (import) any of them to quickly give it a go and evaluate? Do you (plan to) support any import feature?
There is also a Mattala Airport at the south of the country, funded by loans from China. Yet, there hasn't been much use of it, and it pretty much lose its intended purpose. I used to visit Sri Lanka in 2013, with the outbound flight making a (virtual) stop (no disembarking) there, and when I look out of the window, there's nothing much that indicates the potential of the airport or the surrounding area, despite it being billed as "international" airport.
DPR didn't hire, or attempt to hire, anyone to kill anyone. This was a fabrication by those prosecuting him to turn a set of exclusively nonviolent offenses into (supposedly) violent ones.
I haven't had the time to read this article carefully (I will do so later), but it's very problematic to "gatekeep" religion or knowledge. If you're learning from eastern masters, if the original intent of the religion was to spread widely to any interested party, if you're being curious and respectful (you can even respectfully criticize, reject, or condemn any culture -- this is what enables rejecting and criticizing fascism even if not in your own nation; and this is what enables us to improve our society with cultural exchange). So on the surface the criticism here isn't valid at all.

Second, no person is obliged to adhere to a standard defined hundreds of years ago (or otherwise). Buddhism, and all cultures, are allowed to evolve according to our better understanding of science, the universe, ourselves, even philosophy, etc.. And also to fit well into people's lives and local culture. Most of the spirit of the Buddha is that of finding the truth and achieving enlightenment -- being too stuck to his every word is contrary to the spirit of his teachings. Secularity (I am a secular Buddhist) wasn't even too well defined in the time of Buddha I think.

If you don't want to learn anything about Buddhism, only the basics of meditation, no one should stop you. I think most teachings are very beautiful and well worthy of study, but that's ultimately up to yourself.

If you want to learn more, I thoroughly recommend masters like Thich Nhat Hanh and reading (perhaps commentated) Buddha's original thoughts (I believe Dhammapada summarizes many of them).
It’s somehow more grounding than every other human concern, if only for the fact that we have no ability to affect it even one iota (beyond our solar system). The greatest light show in all existence.
I haven't calculated in financial terms which side would be the losing one but when I think about the stress and insecurity it brings, to always be on the edge to not lose your job and avoid struggle in your family. To always be only dependent on yourself while living in a society. It's maddening, I see lots of parallels to Brazilian society and it isn't healthy, even less to such a rich nation.

Zitadel V2 Beta Out
Hi! With ZITADEL we combine the best of Auth0 and Keycloak combined. Built for the serverless era. We worked the last couple of month on the V2 which is now ready for broader testing. We would love to get your feedback! Happy building.

I also say, to whatever readers may care, the reason I belabor this point so much is that obesity related health issues have a massive effect on QOL, public health and personal mental health. I say this having grown up in the southern US, having obese family, having my own fitness / weight loss problems, having seen gangrene diabetic foots with my own eyes. I know vividly what it looks like for someone you love to be heavy, miserable specifically because theyre heavy, and totally hopeless that “they just can’t lose the weight”.

Throwing information out like this (w/o source and at best poorly replicated), that CICO is useless because of digestion rate, is incredibly dangerous because it falsely legitimizes that hopelessness. It traps people. And it maybe only applies in <1% of cases, where you have not just obesity but also compounding, very specific digestive issues. The opposite is also true — you don’t just drink coffee to knock off enough cal absorption to make a diff — you take laxatives you don’t need and have extremely abnormal, frequent BMs.

Anyone and everyone can lose the weight. It’s just CICO. You gotta figure out your input and output to account for the minor individual variances, and lock in a lifestyle to do it. But it’s just CICO at the end of the day.
Secureboot by itself is needed because otherwise you have no way of making a boot chain from firmware to OS which can be validated on x86. Meaning Linux (servers) also have a use case for it.

I also highly doubt Microsoft sees the Linux desktop as a credible threat to Windows. ChromeOS is an actual threat to Windows. And this does nothing for ChromeOS. It's more likely it's just a poor, uninformed decision from a team at MS.
True, payment doesn't necessarily mean it's a warped study. But, they should at least be required by law to disclose the monetary conflict of interest, so readers can give it more scrutiny.
Postman, since they raised money have really lost their way in my opinion. The tool gets harder to use, with a more cluttered UI in every release. Seemingly random UI decisions make it awful to use.

Glad to see competition in the space, but I doubt that Kreya can claim to be a "postman alternative" unless it has 75% feature parity with Postman, simply because the range of ways people use Postman is so broad, that it's an unverifiable claim.

Unless Kreya can do teams, testing, scripting, sharing, reviews, forking, publishing secret-link API docs, generating example API code out of the docs in Ruby/Python/etc, it certainly isn't an _alternative_ to Postman for my team's use-cases.

>I don’t want an attacker chain loading Linux and KVM beneath my Windows OS.

If your Windows install was protected by Bitlocker, and the decryption key was stored in the TPM, and the TPM was set up to require attestation to unseal the key, then such chainloading wouldn't be an issue. (This is also explained in the article.)

BTW, the default for the firmware interface is that it is not password-protected, so even this particular Lenovo device is vulnerable to the evil maid attack you're describing in its "default secure configuration", because the maid can just toggle that option to enable the UEFI CA, or even disable SB entirely. Unless Lenovo is planning to make the UEFI password a required step in their purchase order process, you can expect that the default configuration is going to be an unprotected UEFI. That's why the way to resolve the threat is not to prevent other bootloaders, but to prevent them from reading the data on disk.
> try breaking a CD? They don't shatter like that and the shards certainly aren't gonna fly far

We once tried to bend a CD. It took a fair amount of effort but the opposite outer edges almost touched. Lots of small cracks appeared and there was ominous creaking… When pushed a little further, I think the edges did touch first, but for a fraction of a second before ¡CRACK!, the disk did shatter - there were two large parts (the outer quarters by width, approximately) remaining, a few other chunks, and the rest was a cloud of small parts liberally sprayed around the room. We were finding them for months afterwards, and some were sharply pointed. Even without a sharp point such a fragment would cause significant irritation if in contact with the eye just like any large particulate, and I certainly wouldn't want bits hitting the eye at the speed they must have been moving to spread as far as they did.

While the smashing-CD-on-the-table is very obviously apocryphal, perhaps holding one side on the edge of the desk and impacting the other with significant momentum (with a hammer?), or perhaps wedging it in place & kicking, could result in a snap what would also spray matter like this?

Also, if that sentence is meaning he smashed the CD player on the desk rather than the disk then I can certainly imagine small parts flying around, if only bits from the plastic casing.
I don't know how noisy the office you are referring to is, but I found that using noise cancelation headphones (bose,sony,jabra) and having Grey Noise ( https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/greyNoiseGenerator.php ) does produce good results while not being distracting.
We have a big problem with open plan offices in Europe as well. Individual offices are far rarer than open plan.
I found Namelix much better.
Well, I guess the point of this "collaborateur" deal was that: by making Linux bootloaders and distributions go through the MS vetting, getting most Linux distributions signed by MS, perilous as the situation is, we'd still be getting at least a couple more years of Linux distributions booting hassle-free even on Secure Boot systems. We did get an extra decade at least, as you mention, so I think the "collaborateur" effort was not completely wasted.

The only thing I would demand from these collaborateurs now is _not_ that they apologize, but that they simply make as much noise as possible since it was MS who changed the deal, not them.
I don't disagree with your point but it's worth noting that this practice does actually happen in IT as well. For example some software licenses are tied to physical hardware (that was common with servers back in the day) so you'd often have to hardware disabled at the software level. AMD also sold a bunch of functioning 4 and 8 core CPUs with cores disabled when their 3 and 6 core CPUs were selling faster than AMD could meet demands. Albeit in that latter case it wasn't a subscription service to have them enabled. In fact with computing hardware, it's really common for the same hardware features to be supported across a range of models but only have specific features enabled in software (eg with graphics cards).
I was on the same boat and found Insomnia app pretty good.
To expand on your post:

One Chinese takeaway near us hides their FSA score card on a little window high above the door; they had a 2 (out of 5, 1 being 'we're going to shut you down') last time I looked. They get loads of [I believe entirely genuine] recommendations on Facebook posts and they're always busy. I'd rate their food as mediocre.
If you mean, is goopy and smells like a chemical factory, then yeah, I guess it'd turn off one's appetite a bit. Wouldn't want to hold food in the same hand I'd rubbed it on with.

> Sigh.

Is sighing a learnt tactic? How about a written sigh, what's that about? Inability to use normal words?

I'm quite sure some "tantrums" are last resort efforts to reverse whatever decision the parent made that upset the child.
Historically, it's because of imperialism. Buddhism, for a long time, had turned into a faith religion, suffered many close encounters with dying out completely in several regions, resulting in the 3 major traditions of Buddhism we see today, the earliest version of Buddhism died out long ago.

When Western imperial forces began to systematically take over regions of Asia for trade, the Buddhist monks in areas such as Burma/Myanmar felt that this was the second time their tradition would die out, and sought to preserve the parts that they felt were essential. In their case, it was the path of vipassana meditation, and though Buddhism didn't die out there, from then on it was strongly influenced by this more refined, less faith-driven teaching.

So when Westerners started to go over to these regions of Asia, this is what they were taught, not the religious faith of the local lay practitioners, which existed mainly to support the monks in their vipassana.

Vipassana meditation is mindfulness practice.

Hong Kong being under the dictatorial boot of China is indeed not very difficult to grasp.

For that matter, the New Testament wasn't written until long after the life of Jesus, the canon wasn't established until long after many oral traditions were, and some of Old Testament canon the status of "deuterocanon/apocrypha" has been controversial.

Religions start with key important figures, events and practices long before they get encoded as text. The only one I can think of off the top of my head that might have gone somewhat in the reverse direction was L. Ron Hubbard writing Dianetics and other books to develop a schema and theory for psychological healing before he officially started Scientology. But I don't know all the details about early Scientology so it's hard to say precisely how much was pre-encoded there. I've heard rumours that Hubbard was involved in Freemasonry before starting Scientology so if it's true, it's likely that some of his experiences in it shaped his writings. I also heard that Paul Twitchell, founder of a lesser-known group called "Eckankar" spent some of his earlier days in Scientology. But I digress.

When you strip practices away from dogma in an attempt to further enrich corporations, it's almost like trying to start over with the practices borrowed from some past heritage, the corporation's leadership as the key figures who give advice or select practice consultants to confer with, and with some milestone of success as the promised "awakening event". It definitely runs the risk of turning the corporation into a personality cult where your boss directly or indirectly tells you how to reach a spiritual objective... Of making them money.
Race to the podium: separating and conjoining the car and driver in F1 racing
A friend of mine just told me what he went through to fit rear speakers in his VW van.

Same sort of thing as this BMW bullshit.

His head unit had the hardware to run rear speakers but it hadn't been enabled by the dealer. To turn it on he had to buy a "special" VW coms cable as the dealer's own cable had "worn out". That cable is only good for a certain number vehicle upgrades.

There's nothing in the cable that degrades but VW have worked out they can use it to charge extra rent for anyone that wants to add speakers to a van they've already purchased.

What I take from that little story is that when my current Golf finally gives out I won't be buying another VW. Once you know that a manufacturer is doing this, you can be pretty sure they'll be no ends to the steps they'll go to rip you off.

Parts that just stop working for no good reason, that sort of thing.

It's inkjet printers all over again.
For reference, this was the paragraph (the business in question is an apartment complex I was renting at):

>Their "Courtesy Patrol" service is useless. I tried this service every night for a week but it made no difference; the noise still continued on that night and the following nights. Also, the people at the service told me that it takes them an hour to send someone over after you call them. So if you ever have a reason to call this service, you better be prepared that your problem won't get solved for at least an hour after you call.
> Before I begin, I must recognize that we are currently sitting on the ancestral home of the Apache and that my pronouns are she, her and hers. Also I am a cis–gendered woman, a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, generally able-bodied though my eyesight is less than 20/20 and I can’t run more than half a mile. Also, my own family was displaced by Cossacks at some point in the mid-1800s in what is now called Poland and we’re still waiting for an apology.

This seems like the correct move. Legal culpability of the parents would ensure they only give their kids approved devices. The devices would get a govt kickback to the manufacturer and require 6 years of service, so the parents only have to upgrade their kids device once.
Fair point. But my concern about the "permanent" purchase would still be similar to "buying" a move on Amazon Prime. There's presumably still a mechanism for this to be rescinded somehow, whether through technical error, sunsetting the API that's used etc.
>I often wondered how possible would it be to keep a TCP connection alive during a server restart

If you define a "Server" as a logical piece of functionality not directly mapped to a OS Process, then it can be done. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32067570
You mean white noise
Well because GCC
It is still an issue. A different OS could load and mimic the normal boot procedure to steel any credentials entered.

Also, the whole scenario you depict is quite unreasonable to expect of a default install - which is exactly what is being talked about.
Shadow-anything seems wrong. But the argument here is: "I don't want to see the reviews made by people who are vulgar" with the implied "I also don't want the system to ask them to remove profanity and post again, because I still think the review won't be useful to me".

The heuristic reasoning being: a review is of low value if it's written by someone who's default attitude is vulgar, regardless if that person is willing to correct self when requested.

The discriminator being: If a review has profanity initially, don't display it even if the review is improved. Also don't display other reviews by that person.

Not something I agree with, but it seems that's what user esperent meant.

> If you were relying on not reading reviews like mine because my use of profanity implied I was a jerk, well I'm sorry but your heuristic isn't going to work any more because I know now. It wasn't even hard for me to figure out, so I'm sure most of the jerks have figured it out too. So sorry if you were relying on that, but you probably can't any more.

And that's the idea behind shadow banning - the banned person is supposed to never become aware of the ban.

I checked Costco and they only sell one UPS: A $50 CyberPower “625VA” (lol) “Simulated Sinc Wave” (sine wave?) model. The datasheet says its real power output is 375W and only lasts 2 minutes at that power draw: https://cdn.cs.1worldsync.com/syndication/mediaserverredirec...

It’s certainly better than nothing, but at 12.5Wh (worst case), it has less capacity than most Li-ion USB power banks or even phones. Goes to show how far battery tech has advanced since the days when SLA batteries like the one in your UPS were the only option.

For comparison, the iPhone 13 Pro Max in my pocket has a 16.75Wh battery.
These numbers are bad because they are not really about what desktop environments use but about what the entire OS will use since they rely heavily on the OS configuration for that.

A much better approach to check how much resources DEs use is to capture the memory use before and after the DE itself starts, ignoring even X server (as this too can use different memory depending, e.g., on the drivers, hardware and/or other configuration parameters - all of which are outside the control of a DE).

As an example by placing `free > free-pre` in my .xinitrc before starting Window Maker and then `free > free-post` at the end of Window Maker's own startup script (which is run after the desktop is launched) i found that my WM setup uses 11MB of RAM (on a 64bit x86-64 machine - it'd most likely use less on a 32bit machine). This is however also on my setup where i have a bunch of dockapps launched that aren't part of a default Window Maker installation - disabling those puts the resources Window Maker needs down to 8MB of RAM.

These are way more realistic for Window Maker (and basically what i'd expect it to use) since my OS (openSUSE) at startup uses around 3% of my available RAM (32GB) and i'm certain that Window Maker doesn't need 1GB of RAM to work - which makes sense since pretty much all of that is used by other processes, like systemd, postgres, bunch of managers, etc.
Shameless plug: There is also Grip (https://gripgrpc.dev/), a native macOS client for gRPC. Maybe check it out if you prefer a proper UI for input/output messages instead of just a large JSON text field. (Disclosure: I’m the author.)
