That report is a pathetic attempt at a hit piece from a coal shill.

Cherry picking reports from 2014 that refer to technologies from 2008 and assuming an order of magnitude more batteries than anyone is seriously suggesting of an old version of a chemistry that is never going to be used for bulk storage isn't science. It's just pathetic.

And dredging up this report in order to try to sell people on a solution that actually is resource constrained every time the subject comes up is even more pathetic.
In my understanding “Latin” also includes people from Latin Europe, (France, Italy, Spain, etc.), so it’s a bit less precise.
I went to visit a local cave that has been setup for tours with the kids a few weeks ago. There is a stalagmite/stalagtite pair that are 1cm away from touching and has been that way since the cave was discovered and surveyed in the 1830s, these were 2+ meters each, geological timescales are crazy.

I had a debit card when I was 14, but I think you can get one even sooner if your parents sign off in it. I think one of the reasons I didn't get a debit card sooner was because when I was a kid, cash was still relatively common (yes, I'm old - I remember using cash in Sweden!)
EDID is important because it is the only way for the host to know which resolution, color depth, frame rate the monitor supports.

Even if you remove the DDC wires, the OS will still try to communicate, and it might delay this even more because of the retries and delays in code.

You might get a headstart if you hardcode the EDID in the OS itself. There are ways to do this on Linux [1], Intel macOS [2] and Windows [3].

VLC got popular because it was the first media player that would always play whatever you threw at it. But thinking back to those times, perhaps there was merit in those older players which stayed the same, but made you occasionally install a codec pack. It was a sensible separation between the "chrome" that was stable in time, and the decoders which were changing often to accommodate new and better formats.
Indeed, the small additional bookkeeping is the price to pay. I'm quite used to it, so I don't even see it anymore.

Is that all? These 5 less minutes of bookkeeping are the killer feature of monorepos?

Because, as far as I see it, there's an insane amount of engineering to make a monorepo work even at small scale. Are these 5 minutes per multi-project PR worth it?

I wouldn't be surprised these 5 minutes are largely offsets solely by the additional hours of CI testing time introduced by having to run tests on the whole monorepo at each commit instead of just the project that changed.
Thank you.

This has gotten better lately. At least, good enough for small-medium scale projects.

I have an old mini, 135i manual and ride a motorbike, you could say I’m an enthusiast. but I’d take an EV today if it weighed less than 1.5 tonnes, affordable, had awd and wasn’t essentially an SUV with no clearance.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with electric to my mind, but attaching a heavy and huge battery pack is like building a car with a permanently attached boat trailer. Takes the fun out of things a bit. Touch screens can also go.

Hopefully this changes in the next generation or two, I really would like to get away from gas.
Because EVs are expensive they must appeal to the market who is willing to spend more and that market needs cars to be fun.
How to draw ugly lines fast
You hope to see more war and death?
Yes and no.

No because for things I care about a lot, and want to ensure long term support/service/updates (e.g. password manager, email host). Having a subscription model also means I generally know the cost of keeping up to date (no being surprised by a new $359 version to shell out for at some arbitrary point in time).

Yes for three main reasons.

First being that it feels like it doesn't scale with the amount of software that's trying to use that model. Sure I can easily afford a couple of $20/month subscriptions, but 20 of those? Not a chance.

Second is that its a bad fit for software that I value but only very occasionally use. In such cases it feels like I'm paying way above the odds for the amount of time I use the software.

Third is that I actually find it stressful to have to remember and manage subscriptions for everything. I have to spend time figuring out whether it's still worth paying, check to see if rates have changed, worry about getting locked into another year's worth of contract, etc. With a one-off app purchase it's done and takes zero mental bandwidth in future.

Just 75 years after Thomas Watson said that, we were already doing EUV lithography, a process whose description and commercial incentives would have been totally incomprehensible to him:

"In our laser-produced plasma (LPP) source, molten tin droplets of around 25 microns in diameter are ejected from a generator at 70 meters per second. As they fall, the droplets are hit first by a low-intensity laser pulse that flattens them into a pancake shape. Then a more powerful laser pulse vaporizes the flattened droplet to create a plasma that emits EUV light. To produce enough light to manufacture microchips, this process is repeated 50,000 times every second."

https://www.asml.com/en/technology/lithography-principles/li...

Transistors, microchips and lasers were not invented yet in 1943. How would one even guess that it could soon be a viable business to build a giant machine that shoots molten tin droplets at 50,000 Hz to produce a particular bandwidth of light so that you could create billions of tiny computers out of sand?

Hopefully fusion is on a similar path where the description of 2100's commercial reactor will sound similarly incomprehensible to us.

Trump did an interview recently where he openly admitted that the airodynamics of the Cybertruck was not very good, even if it's better than most trucks. (Trucks are generally not designed with aerodynamics as the highest priority.)

> hours of CI testing time introduced by having to run tests on the whole monorepo at each commit instead of just the project that changed.

This is rarely the case. Most monorepos shard tests such that wall time is minimised and have dependency analysis that only runs tests affected by the changed code.

More of a problem is that IDEs and LSPs often don't deal well with having to index and navigate very large codebases.

I've maintained both monorepo and polyrepo environments and there are pros and cons to both, and they vary _wildly_ based on the language being used.
In a shitton of computers the 8042 is not even a separate entity, being emulated by the main CPU through SMM, so that the BIOS can play fancy tricks like allowing a USB keyboard to be read through the 8042 primary PS/2 port.
It’s their one trick, the operation of electric motors mean that you get Max torque immediately so they can put power down at the low end very effectively. So yes, we all know we want price, charge speed and range, but marketing is about selling what you have, not redesigning the product. It’s like the clip from mad men when they decide to advertise cigarettes as “Toasted”. You’d like to say they don’t cause cancer… but you can’t, so you say something else instead.

I assume this is for a different reason - buffering and stream compression, you have to wait for a key frame before your TV can display anything.

Similar root cause though - technology becomes available that makes the steady state performance much better in return for some setup costs, the setup costs are worth paying in almost all applications so it's an obvious choice to go with the new technology but still annoying when you encounter its drawbacks.

That's because freedom is hard, and nature tends towards least effort solutions. Democracy is already too resource-wasteful , and it doesnt even guarantee half our freedoms. It's just like in tech, full decentralization does not work well, and people gravitate towards centralized, more authoritarian structures. The one positive thing about tech is that it enables the individual to break away from all power structures. Perhaps freedom should be seen as a technology problem.
"So this is the American medical system I am talking about. But I doubt it's really that much different elsewhere in the world " - from personal experience I would claim its a lot different in systems that aren't motivated by money. Its not just the lack of high cost, its the ability of medics to be 100% focused on clinical need rather than money. In my case, I got an issue looked at whilst in the USA. Got sent possibly to the wrong specialist who completely failed to diagnose the problem but was to my mind arrogant and unable to see where their knowledge ended. Eventually back in UK got it sorted on the NHS, the consultant was honest and humble, he started with, "I really don't know what this is yet but we can whittle it down by doing this check and that". In the end, after a few false starts doing the simplest checks first, he methodically found the problem and sorted it. Been fine since. Of course sadly the NHS is now on its knees due to deliberate under-funding by current UK government who would love to privatise the lot. But I'd argue , everyone needs to fight the so-called "American model" of healthcare which other countries are trying to copy. I don't believe profit motives and treating ill people, work well together, at least not in most cases.
You're trying to use this to push nuclear, but 1kg of lithium gets you 1kW of diurnal storage for a decadeor two, whereas 1kg of Uranium gets you 1kW of power production for at most 8 years.

Lithium has larger reserves, is mined in larger quantities at lower impact than uranium, and won't even be relevant to grid storage because in contradiction to Michaux's claims that he's the only one to ever consider the idea of a different chemistry, nobody is assuming there will be a week of NMC batteries for every watt of renewables.

There were multiple news items about sodium ion, zinc bromide, iron batteries, pumped hydro, thermal storage, and a-caes being released the entire time he was fishing through ancient LCAs and IEA reports to try and claim there isn't enough Tellereum to make solar panels that don't contain any or not enough Niobium to make dual wound generators with no permanent magnets.

EV cars have existed for more than a century and been tried out by many companies. They all failed to mark a significant dent in the market because batteries technologies weren't as advanced as now, and because regulations weren't as strict as they are now.

Tesla was founded right when at a crossing point when California and European Union emissions regulations started to be more and more stringent and efficient batteries affordable enough. Being an EV-only company it was granted a very generous loan from the US government. This is a kick start no small automotive company ever got.

I haven’t tried Copilot but I’ve used ChatGPT to help with doing Advent of Code in Python (which I don’t use regularly so I forget bits of syntax).

At first I found it very useful to ask it to parse the input. Much faster than looking up three separate docs to piece together what I had in mind.

But then I asked it to parse a more complex input and it just kept failing badly even when I gave it sample inputs and outputs.

I’d say it definitely offers some productivity gains and is worth trying.

Everything i have heard about this makes it sound more like a milestone than a breakthrough. I.e. its great it happened and an important step, but its not shocking that we eventually did it.

Two other tricks of the EV6 are:

- 18 minute 10-80% charge time in ideal conditions (which is very good)

- Vehicle to load capability. You can run appliances off the battery. If you're desperate you can charge another EV (but it will be slow).
