  • I have bad news for you. Lots and lots of people decided to plant grain independently, most times for the booze.

  • It's because the Sun is behind it.

  • All more proof that the Earth is a cylinder.

  • POV: M$ releases a new VSCode version

    Jump

  • Last time I said "No! This is getting silly!" and decided to try all those language-server GUI text editors I lost a couple of weeks and decided to nuke my emacs config and make LSP actually work there instead.

  • Got tired of React… so I tried going back to COBOL

  • You can always do pre-Modern web development. There's nothing stopping you.

    In fact, with the modern browsers, it's better than ever.

  • Why no arcing?

  • What are prerequisites for arcing?

    Each insulator (air is one) has an specific minimum voltage/distance ratio for an arc to appear.

    Those probably wouldn't arc even if their surface was electrified. But as a sibling already noted, their surface is insulated. They would be extremely sensitive to any kind of dirty, though.

  • Turbines are our friends

    Jump

  • In some ways, that lag is good. You can cheaply replace batteries with just a thermal mass.

    But it's not good enough to make up for the cost difference.

  • Turbines are our friends

    Jump

  • Generating electricity by boiling water used to be the cheapest option, but nowadays it's a bottleneck that itself is way more expensive than the alternatives that people actually build.

    It only got cheaper with time, though. It's the alternatives (PV, wind, batteries, gas) that improved a crazy amount.

    Jump

  • Turns out that sunlight is very cheap. You need a lot of efficiency to justify any extra cost.

  • Turbines are our friends

    Jump

  • No, neither will it be cheaper.

    People stopped building those some years ago.

    (But those incredibly expensive concentrators with a single tower are more efficient. Nobody is building those anymore either.)

  • You mean sourceforge?

  • 99.99%

    TBF, no, established companies tend to have something between 99.9% and 99.99% of uptime. It only increases if the company is explicitly focused on it, at a large cost that usually needs to be paid by some customer.

    But Github pretends to be one of those companies that focus on uptime. And it's also less than 99% right now. So yeah, the main point stands.

  • xkcd #3225: Satellite Pollution

    Jump

  • Even in recent movies, when people look at the stars, they are mostly not there anymore.

  • We need more cranks

    Jump

  • The far-future panels from Discovery can totally do that. It's too bad they just don't do it.

  • Side quests

    Jump

  • Well, that was his day job...

  • Star Struck

    Jump

  • I dunno. The one person that we know that banged Data died shortly after.

  • WHERE THE FUCK IS THE CURSOR?

    Jump

  • Oh, it's limited. But you will only discover it if you look at the bug-tracker.

  • WHERE THE FUCK IS THE CURSOR?

    Jump

  • People have been losing their cursors since the Xerox labs days.
