You don't, commercial OS manufacturers want you to see and treat your computers as app consoles, similar to game consoles.

They successfully got you to view phones and tablets as app consoles, the rest of your computers are next.

> What also caught my eye so much is the amount of branding around – there are Spotify, TikTok, Amazon Prime, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger icons right in your menu bar before you ever need them or attempt to download and discover these apps for yourself

Microsoft desperately wants you to use their app store to run these apps on your app console instead of on the web or on their competitors' app consoles.
Yeah – to be clear, I am not doing it for any particular element of physical health or circadian rhythm, I am just trying to emulate sunlight for aesthetic reasons (yum, red spectrum coverage)

Smart bulbs sacrifice on light quality for color and dumb bulbs can't adjust color temperature (even dumbly!). Studio lighting is expensive but has both.

I love the idea of a high-CRI LED strip, because, yeah, an intense point source is really not ideal to light a room. But the strip would need to be bi-color, but such a thing probably exists. I just moved and I have zero ceiling sockets, so A19 is dead to me :(

Ships move slowly, you don't need integration, you can input by hand the coordinates. The missile has terminal stage radar guidance.

Ukraine also had a Bayraktar drone flying around the ship area at that time. It could have picked up rough coordinates from that.
Hmm. Fix the easy stuff, the low hanging fruit and you filter for the worse problems and get some false positives for free.

When it comes to leaking secrets, don't trust tools. It's hard, it's human, it just happens.

As for what StackOverflow should do — make it easy to fix leaks, which they do a good job at. Ie. users can edit or delete answers, comments after posting them. Even better if there's a means to create confidential back channels with poster or admin if you spot a potential leak.

That might be country dependent, in the UK the four largest networks do officially support RCS I believe (combined market share of around 85-90%).
> One thing I don't know about (which maybe somebody can inform me/us about): the wiki states that PRs are reviewed by Flathub reviewers, but I see no sign of human review on e.g. https://github.com/flathub/com.bitwarden.desktop/pull/167 (or others in that repo). What's the actual process?

In this case, I think the lack of human involvement is mostly a good thing. Flathub was criticised for having outdated packages[1]. Using automation to automatically update packages is mostly a good thing.

Obviously, we want to see thorough review of new packages, but that's a separate issue.

Besides that most areas aren't in the risk of flooding, there is litte preventing you to water proof your batteries to the point that submerging them into water has no ill effects. The housing of the batteries usually is water-proof anyway. Just look at all the Teslas driving through deep water.
Oil tanks for heating are a huge problem with flooding though, as they tend to leak oil into the environment.
I see a lot of negativity in this thread. Personally I think flatpaks make it super easy to use a rock solid stable distribution as your base OS, and then run the latest and greatest software on top.

In years gone-by if I wanted the latest versions of software I'd have to use an unstable rolling release distro. Now I can just use Debian stable and essentially get the exact same experience.

Ex-vim user here.
No, I've tried it many times and finally I'm using VSCode for good: I don't think that vim is good enough as an IDE unless you accept to change your workflow to adapt to vim.

I've also tried SpaceVim and noticed that it was slower to start than VSCode --> uninstalled the buggy thing!

Next step in my ToDo list: learn VSCode shortcuts(multiple cursors etc) to improve the efficiency (I did use a plugin which gave me vim shortcuts but it didn't work well enough..)

That said to edit large log files I'm still using Vim, VSCode doesn't work well here.

It's a single high value target. You can input the coordinate by hand.
> swap partition

This is the difference. Linux has a swap partition. You fill up the dedicated swap partition (which you decide when you partition your drive and is unusable for anything else, so you want to keep it small) and boom you're out of memory, OOM starts killing random stuff.

macOS uses a dynamic swap file (technically its multiple files) on your boot drive that starts at 0 bytes that grows until your main partition runs out of space.

I wrote a small program to do some image processing, I had a memory leak that leaked uncompressed bitmaps, after a couple minutes browsing HN "why is that process so slow?", I go check, it turns out it had burned up like 200 GB of RAM on my 16 GB Mac without me even noticing. But it did actually complete without me bothering to fix the bug, so problem solved.

This also means macOS has a lot more leeway to, say, swap out background tabs you haven't touched in a week in favor of live data since it can grow that swapfile full of stale garbage.
Their #1 goal is not to be the most private solution. Their goal is to make day-to-day communications of most people difficult to surveil.

Day-to-day/People is why they keep the registration process familiar to other platforms like WhatsApp/Telegram. "Most" is why they try to compete with Telegram/WhatsApp on features to drive adoption (see Stories and Announcement Groups).
>Another example is why the Mac, Atari and Amiga all put the menu bar at the top of the screen: it's an oft-used target and should be easy to move the pointer to. This is an adaptation of Fitt's law.

this oft-repeated argument is so dumb. Perhaps it's that different people's brains work differently, but so what. I have more than one window open; I'm looking at one of them, that's my context. Why would I want to roll the mouse out of my context to go to the top of the screen (shared context) only to discover that the the other window has the focus, and thus the menu? If I clicked on the menu in the context of my window, it would be given the focus and I would not be interrupted/distracted; my attention is the premium here.

It's just such a flawed argument. I'm fine with you having it the way you prefer it; I'm not fine with you forcing me to have it the way you prefer it; and even more aggrieved to be given a nonsensical reason.
By default, Apple loads up the news widget in the macOS notification area.

Clicking on a story opens it in the Apple News app, which is also in your dock by default.
In addition, the title "Portugal just ran on 100% renewables" is inherently misleading because it implies the whole country operated free of fossil fuels and should really be "Portugal's electrical grid just ran on 100% renewables". Often less than half of a country's energy usage passes through the grid, with more than half of it being fuel in vehicles, fossil fuel heating, etc.
Even in the 1990's missiles would re-acquire targets after losing them - or after turning off their active targeting systems in order to prevent countermeasures being taken against them.

It's plausible that Ukraine was told where the ship was, launched the missiles in that direction and they acquired and targeted the ship autonomously when they got closer. Of course that's pretty risky as a gambit but the downside was a failed strike and the upside was a doomed capital ship.
Pretty much. Peer pressure is an insanely powerful thing when you're young and trying to fit in and Apple knows teens aren't gonna die on the "stick to an Android to stick it to them" hill.

> and an xrun causes damage to the drivers and/or audience

An xrun typically manifests itself as a (very short) discontinuity or gap in the audio signal. It might sound unpleasant, but there's nothing dangerous about it.
It’s a classic latency-throughout trade off: smaller latency - lower throughout. Doing certain operations in bulk (like GC) increases latency, but is also more efficient and increases throughput.

The thing is, the question doesn't really make sense. Yes you could design a closed system of solar production and battery storage, which delivers power 24/7. But that is not reasonable. Solar is only one part of the electricity supply to the grid. Wind is another. Add to that water, biomass, etc. and you have multiple sources which complement each other. You would need battery storage only for those remaining amounts of electricity which cannot be served by the combination above. And this amount is easily an order of magnitude (or more) lower than a solar+storage system alone.
This also heavily depends on your local climate. The closer to the equator you get, the more a solar storage only needs to supply energy over the night. There a solar+storage only grid would be the no brainer.

Reminded me of a funny story. Maybe a decade ago, when moving to the cloud was all the rage, my then employer decided to check whether the cloud was any good. Long story short, he asked me to conduct penetration tests against the major providers. In one of the providers I pivoted through some network and hit a webpage that looked like some sort of control plane panel (but required authentication so...). I decided to google part of the HTML and... A stack overflow thread pops up with the code and parts of the backend code/logic. So much win.
When/if the UK gets to this landmark it'll be because the wind was unusually strong.

I don't think that takes away from the achievement.

We also have negative prices on windy days and the interconnects tend to be exporting power to Europe at night.

Or, you could just, you know, buy them.

My beef with people who say, like you do that 3D printers are cheap or you can buy an arduino/pi/whatever, is simple.

People consistently fail to value their time, and the startup cost.

The startup cost because your thinking works on the assumption that people know how to use, e.g. a 3D printer out of the box. The reality is that most people don't. And as such, they will expend a great deal of time with Mr Google and various internet forums trying to figure it out. They will then proceed to flush money down the pan on materials during their learning.

Second people seem to value their time at zero. If you value your time at zero, then sure, its cheaper to make it yourself. But if you value your time realistically, its cheaper to either (a) buy it or (b) pay a domain-expert to make it for you.
You also need to end with "God Bless" or similar - it wastes less time on the scammers part because people who fall for that line are more gullible[1].

[1] Can't remember where I read it; was a short study on how skepticism is inversely correlated to getting scammed. A different reading some years later showed that religious believers have lower skepticism when dealing with other believers of the same faith.

You just have to pretend to be of the same belief as the mark.
Amazing difference. Maybe the use of addons in chrome increments the memory consumption per tab? interesting
There's a company working to build a 3600km long cable between solar + wind farms in Morocco, and the UK. 3.6GW cable, 10GW of generation, 20GW of battery storage, and the cable should run at full load for 20h a day.

> Using automation to automatically update packages is mostly a good thing.

Maybe. The CI rules should be made public in that case, though, surely? Maybe they are?

The enormous amount of value the distros bring (aside from sponsorship of the ecosystem) is audit of packages (and packaging). If we want to move application packaging away from the distros, Flathub needs to be at least as competent in its process, automated or not.

The key part here is what Moskva was alone there, without any other assets, which could provide additional AA cover.

For whatever reasons it's own AA wasn't function properly so the chances to hit were exceptional.

I don't believe some folks on the shore would just scan the sea beyond the horizon just in case they could get a lock. That's not how it works. Maybe they could get a lock (it's still a possibility) but that's the difference between the targeting mode only.

> The lion share of renewables in Portugal is hydroelectric.

This is not true. Portugal produces more wind power than it does hydroelectric:

https://datahub.ren.pt/pt/eletricidade/balanco-mensal/

10 TWh versus less than 8 for hydro. Solar is also already past 3 TWh and has barely started in a country with excellent conditions for it. We also already have quite a bit of storage. Hydro already contributes over 3 TWh of storage.
> Your original comment gives an impression that you like AWS (...)

My comment is really not about AWS. It's about the apples-to-oranges comparison between the job of "Linux on-premises server administrator" and value-added of managing on-premises servers, and the role of "AWS administrator". Someone needs to be completely clueless to the realities of both job roles to assume they deliver the same value. They don't.

Someone with access to any of the cloud provider services on the market is able to whip out and scale up whole web applications with far more flexibility and speed than any conceivable on-premises setup managed with the same budget. This is not up for debate.

> How is an army of "devops" implementing your CF/CDK stack any different from an army of (lower paid) sysadmins running proxmox/openstack/k8s/etc on your hw?

Think about it for a second. With the exact same budget, how do you pull off a multi-region deployment with an on-premises setup managed by your on-premises linux admins? And even if your goal is providing a single deployment, how flexible are you to put up this scheme to test a prototype and afterwards shut down the service?
The concern isn't the calculator getting hacked, but the calculator itself being malicious, and there being a desire to safely install programs without opening up your whole system to them.

A calculator should be run as a fully isolated application, with no filesystem access and no ability to damage anything even if it tries.
My thought as well. The disadvantage though is that you need to move a "pack" of hung clothes and turn them around (or pull them out) to find the one you're looking for. In the folded arrangement, you can probably find what you're looking for at a glance, from a distance.
It absolutely is the same thing Microsoft does, just with different branding. In fact, Apple was doing it before MS. If anything, MS is just copying Apple there.

The only difference is that they have been doing it for 15+ years and during this time they convinced you that it is okay that they do it on a pocket computer, as if it was somehow magically different.

There is no such thing in the EU. You can't just waltz into the European parliament and lobby (read: bribe) your way into regulations that favor you like it's the case in the USA. Once the parliament votes on something, it's done.

> The notches have to be wide enough for a the thickest stuff, but then a shirt will take as much space as thick coat.

It's probably easier to take out a hinger and let a thick coat take up two spaces (or more). Assuming you have only few coats, that's more efficient than increasing the spacing uniformly.

It does seem like you lose some flexibility due to the slots, though.

It also seems possible to put many more slots in the rod. There is no functional reason why slots and hingers need to match 1 on 1.

> If your goal is to save as much depth as possible the solution is obviously front to back direction rods, as opposed to side to side.

Somehow it feels like it would be harder to store the same amount of clothes on front-to-back rods. I also think it would be harder to browse clothes and take out the shirt you want; even with the retractable rod you have to pull out and push in rods just to see what's on them.
Base load, for starters, is an overblown problem, multiple days with close to 100% renewables showed us that. Now that this is out of the way:

Massive build out of renewables, mainly solar and wind. Build the grid for that as well. Use gas peaker plants, if needed. Keep nuclear plants running as long as safely possible. Invest in a green hydrogen network for storage. Make industrial demand more flexible. Reinterate, rinse and repeat.

I work from memory here, based on what I learned during my masters and a couple of stints in energy hungry industries a couple of yeaes ago. Besides gas peaker plants and green hydrogen, all of that is already happening in Europe.

Especially solar and wind build out is progressing massively across the world, even without a concentrated effort behind it.

Regarding industrial demand flexibility, that is also happening for a decade now (I personally know it does in the chemical industry, paper industry and graphite industry, surprising how much flexibility companies can squeeze out of production tech that was historically seen as being not flexible at all when there is loads of money to be made). Domestic demand is different, convenience beats saving most of the time, also households don't have professional energy management (hint: there isba massive, hard, start-up idea here: provide automated consumption control of electricity for households beyond smart thermostats ansball the other "smart" home crap).

Nuclear is a dead end in the developed world: too expensive (Hinkley C was already more expensive than wind like 7 years ago), takes too long install (just google year per kWh for the last NPPs installed) and has additional, unsolved, long term issues (waste storage only being one of those). Heck, even investors are quiting NPPs across the Western world. Nuclear has a future so: existing plants need be run as long as safely possible (the main reason German plants were shit down, they reached the end of their service live), for countries with nuclear arsenals, for the production of medical radionucleoids, for research... New ones are a waste of time, energy and money right now so.

And yet again, you said why something doesn't work, because just building dozens of plants and go fully nuclear is not feasible or realistic for the developed world.

For developing countries it is different, and they should build nuclear plants instead of coal ones, but then those have a lot of catching up to do. They could also go fully renewable right away so, they should have an "easier" (nothing is easy about any of this) life doing so without a century of legacy structures and systems to worry about (grids, industry, domestic use...).
That’s true, I edited my comment to note phosphorus-coated LEDs, but that coating still leaves spectrum with gaps and bumps. Besides, the more coating you add, the less bright or energy efficient your lights get, and sets can require very bright lights.

Other issues, such as PWM flicker coinciding with your FPS and shutter angle or LED controller interference in audio recording, remain.

From my understanding, today mature LED-based solutions can only mitigate these issues with varying success, not eliminate all of them entirely, all this mitigation adding complexity and cost, while on the other hand one could just use a black body emitter so that those issues are not technically a thing, and try not to set things on fire.
