One reason for the difference could be that heating in consumers homes is very much dependent on electricity (whether or not the actual heating is gas-powered notwithstanding), whereas in other countries there may be more woodfired heating, for example.
My RPi 4b runs on a 18W power supply, which would put it at 432Wh per day if running at max load (It doesn't, it idles at <3W most of the time). Any arm NAS is going to have a similar power draw, and you really should pay attention to the power draw when choosing a NAS.
That might be frustrating for his would-be readers, but in the same way that it’s frustrating to me that there aren’t many great small flagship smartphones.

Manga writers and artists often redraw or rewrite major portions even after initial online publication. For example, One Punch Man comes to mind which has many redrawn chapters published online before the artist puts it down on printed manga.

Arch should not be listed as a boring stable desktop. In fact, just the other month it had a black screen outage involving grub that affected every user that did an update. If the distro requires the users to monitor an email list to avoid this kind of gotcha before doing an update, then it is neither boring nor stable.
I would try by saying every author is a compiler (as in, a collector of sources). They use someone else's ideas, either as building blocks or as a subject. The rules for when and how the people down the chain should be compensated are arbitrary. For a long time it wasn't a problem anyone cared about in societies (the pre-copyright era), then we got sort of a "verbatim" standard, but we're seeing more and more how silly it always was with better tools of automatic rephrasing.

Publishing books in the current model is like planting flowers in a public space, with seeds you've just taken from a bunch of other people's houses, and then requiring people who walk there or look at the flowers to pay you. I mean, we should be encouraging caring about the commons in some way. But the creators or copyright holders for cultural creations don't inherently have the power to dictate the schemes they like.
Disinterested parties perhaps, but folks who the event touches them emotionally… they want reasons.
It's probably just too early in the product lifecycle for a slim model. The PS4 just barely eaked one out at the 2 year mark because the XBone and PS4 were pretty dated hardware when they released, the PS3 took 3 years, PS2 took 5 years The slim "PS One" took 6 years.

Capacity for die shrinks is probably a bit tight at the moment given the chip shortages and the fact that Apple are basically buying all TSMC production capacity on stuff that's vaguely new. The 6nm process they've just picked up for the PS5 refresh was coming online when the PS5 was first released. I imagine we'll see a true slim when Sony / AMD are able to get enough capacity on the 5nm or 4nm process.
It's called a multiple-tariff meter. Of course it's easier to implement with modern electronics, but there's no reason you can't design an electromechanical meter device that has two different mechanisms to tally up "peak" and "off-peak" usage. I just did a quick Google search and found patents dating back to the 1970s.
Step 0: get all those tens (hundreds?) of thousands of mostly highly-educated professionals fleeing the military draft to Kazakhstan, Armenia and Georgia (mostly).

Hi, thanks for the article, I'm looking forward to the next installment! I hope you post it here when it comes out.

I actually appreciated the simplicity of the diagrams and I think most literature follows this where terminals(I think that's the correct term) are marked source, gate and drain and then the circuits are denoted input, output, voltage/vss. I've never seen it stated bluntly that "gates mean this in this context and we refer to as an input in the circuit context." Maybe it's just considered too obvious but it's always made me question my own understanding. Thanks for the confirmation.

Interesting observation there! What country do you live in?
> The question is - why should you have a right to spread _my work_ for free? I spent almost 2 years on writing the book. I hope you have a good answer.

Oh interesting question. I could probably answer but need some information first. What % of revenue went to you and what % went to the people who printed the book, chopped the trees, made the pulp, delivered the books across the world, etc? My guess is probably 10-50% to you, and the rest to the others. Am I close? That's probably fair.

Now, what % of your proceeds did you send to the creators of the letter "A", the letter "B", et cetera? Or did you use a different alphabet that you yourself created?

Was the book written in American English? If so, what % of your revenue are you sending to the widows and orphans of American soldiers killed in the wars who died protecting our freedom, language, and values?

Once I get those data points I can probably answer your question.

I could see this being ok if the certs were retaken regularly. Passing a cert at one point in time doesn't mean you've retained all the knowledge that cert is suppose to assess after some time has passed. This is essentially what TripleByte does for its process to find good engineers for startups.

The 2008 war in Georgia began when Georgia attacked South Ossetia. For those who don't know, South Ossetia is a de facto independent state that is de jure part of Georgia (much like Taiwan and China).

In the Soviet era, South Ossetia was an autonomous oblast within the Georgian SSR. After Georgia declared independence from the USSR, South Ossetia declared independence from Georgia. They fought a war, and Russia eventually backed South Ossetia and brokered a deal. There have been Russian peacekeepers in South Ossetia ever since.

South Ossetia never gained international recognition, and in 2008, the Georgian president made an attempt to recapture it. He thought that if he was fast enough, the Russians wouldn't have time to respond and he could present them with a fait accompli. It appears that the Russians knew what was coming, and they immediately sent troops through the tunnel into South Ossetia after the Georgians moved in. Russian forces drove the Georgians back, all the way into Georgian (pre-war) territory.

The Russians then recognized South Ossetia as an independent state, though pretty much no one else does.

It’s a good analogy and I do understand the perspective.

But I think it is very convenient that it applies to the work these people want to consume (which should be free), and not to the work they perform (which should be paid).

Why should the software engineer be paid but the author not? Why is the written word information but not the code?

I would trust the motives more if there was a general coherence to it all, beyond the consumption of media. Information comes in many forms.
Not necessarily. Wouldn’t most book sales (especially in small niche interest groups, which is what this sounds like) be expected to come very quickly after the release date and then drop off very quickly?
Democracies can endure a lot of hardship. Deciding to give in to Russia is not going to be popular.

It's possible EU/NATO will collapse, it's not a while since we were tested like this. Well, maybe if we could endure covid lockdowns, then maybe a few rolling blackouts won't be the end of the EU.

If nothing else rolling blackouts would motivate massive investment.

Moreover, I doubt politicians will be able to see submission before Russia as a solution to rolling blackouts. The opposition will point out the obvious, Russia can just do it again.

Lucky for all of you, I spend way too much time staring at cats and while most of the ones generated here are pretty good, there's quite a few where the proportions are off and they look fake or edited to me. If I saw them outside of the context of being generated images, I'm very sure I'd still be staring at them trying to figure out what was wrong.

Exactly. Until the Ukraine war started, the Green party was perfectly happy with importing loads of gas from Russia.

In what country do libraries work like that? Not in America. In America, libraries do not pay annual licensing fees for books. A book is purchased or otherwise acquired, and then lent out as many times as the library pleases. When the book wears out, the library may rebind it and continue lending it.

This is covered by first sale doctrine. After the library owns that book it is theirs and neither the author nor the publisher is entitled to anything when the book is lent.
Isn't it more readable not to have really long lines?
I agree with this comment, and cannot understand why is downvoted. I would like the one that downvoted comments on why.
My thinking, more or less in line with the comment is: instead of investing energy, time and resources in writing laws of what is allowed and what no (often without rationale).
Use that time, effort and energy in educating developers, so that, if those prohibitions are really sensible, they will anyway refrain from doing that.
You get the benefit of not having to change the bans.
By doing regular code reviews, you can detect ill formed code, and discuss with the developers. Maybe some developer has something to teach to the "big experts" who write those documents?
For one, leaving the safety of Earth's magnetosphere. We haven't really ventured far enough for radiation to not be tempered by Earth's magnetic field, from what I understand. It would shorten the duration of radiation and help study the effects on astronauts.

>German putting some nuclear shutdowns on hold

They put _two_ reactor shutdowns on hold in case OIL powered floating generators wont suffice. Third one is being shut down permanently just like russian friends requested. https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy/news/berlin-eyes-oil...

>But despite warnings of multi-hour blackouts, Economy and Climate Action Minister Robert Habeck confirmed the country’s planned nuclear power phase-out by the end of 2022.

>Germany’s nuclear exit will only be forestalled by a temporary cold reserve of two power plants, which could be reactivated if needed to ensure grid stability in the country’s South

>On Monday, Berlin decided to mothball two of its nuclear reactors for months despite a host of experts insisting they continue running, while the third will be shut down completely, to be replaced by swimming oil-fired power plants.
Putting LNG on ships vs a pipeline is not a real substitute, financially or otherwise. Not for several years and incredibly higher environmental devastation in the process.
The French reactors were taken offline for scheduled maintenance and repairs. Those hours don't count against reliability metrics because the plants weren't expected to be operating.

The argument is lazy because it's false equivalence. A power plant failing suddenly is not the same thing as a power plant being taken offline to fix a known issue.

edit:
EDF has announced that they will be restarting their nuclear plants by winter. How this plays into the Russian gas shortage is that France also generates a lot of electricity off natural gas. By working to get the nuclear plants running by winter they won't need to run their natural gas generation plants, leaving more gas to be used for industrial purposes & home heating.

The left created this mess to begin with. They shut down multiple functioning nuclear power plants in the south of Sweden where the energy is needed the most.
Did the startups fail because people were stealing intellectual property? (For example, by illegally obtaining trade secrets, such as proprietary source code.) Or did they fail because they were unable to create offerings that customers valued above the cost to produce them?

Until the United States economy no longer recognizes intellectual property rights, this is a critical distinction, whether we're discussing books, music, or proprietary software and hardware designs.
you have to ask yourself what 'reliable' means. Its my understanding that nuclear is called 'reliable' due to the availability of the fuel source as well as the constant electricity output it produces (its very stable / constant ).

That speaks nothing to the 'reliability of keeping plants online' that you are referring to. even if the reliability referred to by the author was claiming they are easy to keep online, that doesn't except France from the need of keeping good maintenance of the plants.

Now the 2nd part on your claim about renewables. most claims in output and gains in renewables include hydro electric (which is kind of weird since the super green crowd villainised hydro electric ), which is a great solution but unfortunately most of the best opportunities for hydro electric have already been exploited. wind and solar makes sense in certain situations, but in most it doesnt.

renewables should be part of the planning as much as possible, but they are not in a position to help Europe in its current situation. Germany's decision to shut down nuclear power plants just after fukushima because it was the social media hip thing to do at the time, has been a disastrous decision.
> Your statement in italics is new to me and quite insightful, I think.

You can credit Frank Herbert for it.
Most sleep trackers have similar issues. For example, most won't detect biphasic or polyphasic sleep correctly - it's assumed that sleep happens in one unbroken period once per day. If you get up in the middle of the night for a snack and then go back to sleep, it's a coin flip whether it will be detected as the "end" of sleep, or as a long "awake" period in the middle.

When I hit the snooze button on my phone and go back to sleep for another hour, both my Garmin and Oura are inconsistent whether that extra hour counts as sleep or not.

Garmin's even weirder than most as it asks you for your normal sleep hours when setting up the watch, which suggests that it's not as smart as it should be.

Garmin, to its credit, is slowly moving away from pure sleep tracking and using other metrics like HRV, stress, and yesterday's activity levels to calculate readiness for today's workout.
I used the Strava App to track my runs on my Apple Watch 2. At some point it started crashing and I tried out the built in app. It's really not for me, the data is somewhat locked in, graphs are non zoomable, etc. Most notably I couldn't send friends a url to the run.

I ended up switching to a Garmin Fenix 7 recently and I'm genuinely happy with it so far. Battery lasts more than 2 weeks and it does 90% of what I was using my Apple Watch for.

what does "beef" have to do with converting land to wind farms?

perhaps you could respond back with how solar panels are not actually very environmentally friendly? They produce a lot of toxic chemicals to manufacture.

Tell us, to replace 3,500 MW of nuclear power, how many acres of land must be converted to wind/solar? what is the environmental/social impact of doing this?

How much power is produced in a cold / dark winter via solar/wind vs nuclear.

But only a tiny percentage of the population is any good at writing books. If those people stop doing so or greatly cut back on doing so it is a big loss even if that doesn't change the total number of books written each year by a noticeable amount.
Ok, this is ridiculous, given your position, I'm not going to spend long on this but:

> Just like a single exploding windmill in Denmark doesn't change much about reliability of wind power

First off, you realise France has 56 nuclear power stations? I'm wondering where you're getting "single sample" and "single windmill" from

If, over a year, 40% of windmills in Denmark weren't producing power, it would make a hell of a lot of sense to question the reliability of Danish windmills.

I don't know why you pulled out the straw man of saying the person was questioning all of nuclear power, but they had a very reasonable fact-based question.

I'd be very happy to listen to any data or explanations you could bring, but frankly you don't seem to be discussing things in good faith right now.
Human processes are imprecise. Our language just reflects this. You could improve the language to the point that no one would use it, but this wouldn't have any actual impact on the "issue."

Take, for example, the way people actually use SI. The distance to the sun, most accurately is "93 gigameters." Yet, everyone says "93 million km." Why?

If you're just going to drop the accuracy, then you should switch bases to reflect this; however, people want language that matches their everyday experiences and not one that conveys a lot of additional information through the units themselves.

Language is a tool to express ourselves, not to constrain our expressions.

> Well, yes, that's what I'm saying, and that's what the article says.

No, it doesn't. They'd love to be able to say that. The reason they don't say it loudly and clearly is because it's not true.

So they have to say lots of things that kind of sound a bit like that if you are not paying attention, because it would be really good for them if it was true. But it's not.

France is going to struggle to keep 50% of their power nuclear even with a will to try. So in many ways it does not matter.

But so many people say it as a way to, falsely, impugn renewables that I'm standing on the principle. What you claim is true is not true. The document does not claim it, and if it did it would be lying.
I find the headline pretty disturbing because a) no it isn't and b) what would be boring is never being able to do anything because you were forced to spend all day "tinkering" with the OS for stability reasons or dismissing a constant barrage of nagware. Linux easily beats windows in this regard.
