Faaak··on Tesla Q2 2024 Update [pdf]
I still don't get why they prioritised the cybertruck Vs the semi... Makes no sense at all. Markets are way different in size, I guess margins too. A shame really
Faaak··on Metal thieves in America's cities
"Oh, sorry for the mistake.. and for your hands too, I guess?"
Faaak··on Making my own wedding rings
Yet, you (gently) smash it with a hammer and it breaks to pieces. By adding a block that is a bit thicker than the finger bone, you prevent smashing your finger in the process
Faaak··on The Race to Seal Helium HDDs (2021)
With another encoding like Manchester, it wouldn't;-)
Faaak··on Show HN: I created an After Effects alternative

Looks related to what Swissmetro wanted to do in Switzerland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swissmetro Except that its not underground

Afaik, the project looks dead?

Faaak··on More Memory Safety for Let's Encrypt: Deploying ntpd-rs
On the contrary, I'm hosting a stratum 1 and 2 stratum 2s (at my previous company we offered 3 stratum 1s) on the ntp pool. It's useful, used, and still needed :-)
Faaak··on Microsoft shelves its underwater data center
At the end of the day, you're still wasting heat whereas you could heat a whole district with it.
Faaak··on ChatGPT Fails to Understand Causation
Can you paste the response for us that can't use the model easily?
Faaak··on Trial results for new lung cancer drug are 'off the charts'
Thankfully, in France they will be paid for by the state. Same in Switzerland
Faaak··on JetBrains releases RustRover IDE for Rust development
I use vim bindings in vscode. You should try it!
Faaak··on Linux 6.10 Honors One Last ReiserFS Request Made by Hans Reiser
At least for me, I'm thinking it's funny the way US people see prison vs "europeans". Punishing vs rehabilitation
Faaak··on One dead as London-Singapore flight hit by turbulence
Same question here. I suppose that it also hurts (maybe even more?) on the way down because once the wings gain lift, you experience g + lift + your momentum going down ?
Faaak··on ADSL works over wet string (2017)
I guess you can, but your phone sends impulsions instead of DTMF tones, that nobody understands anymore. I'm surprised you can dial out actually
Faaak··on A forged Apple employee badge
I don't think I would write faster with a pen than with a typewriter..?
Faaak··on Unitree G1 Humanoid Agent
Well, at least if they sell in the EU, warranty laws are event stricter, which is good imho. But still a shame
Faaak··on Road resurfacing during the daytime without stopping traffic [video]
The whole Marti youtube channel is a marvel for engineering geeks like me. If you have the occasion, you should take a look (talks about tunneling, big machines, etc)
Faaak··on How to escape Honda's privacy hell
2016 hyundai ioniq here. (subjectively the best car ever.) Hopefully I got it just before "connected cars" were mainstream. Hopefully that changes someday :(
Faaak··on Agricultural IoT system sends power through the soil
How is drilling 90m cheaper than replacing a battery every year or so?
Faaak··on mRNA Cancer Vaccine Reprograms Immune System to Tackle Glioblastoma in 48 Hours
Why are you being so dramatic? Life is short, let it go
Faaak··on Akiya houses: why Japan has nine million empty homes
Italy yes, but not Switzerland for sure! Maybe France or Spain?
Faaak··on Resistance Against Git Merge Hell (2015)
Why would you squash merge if you have two different atomic commits ? Makes bisecting + reverting a pain... I'd avocate for a rebase instead
Faaak··on Run0, a systemd based alternative to sudo, announced
Yeah, basically I've found that the people the more vocal against systemd are either not really knowing how it works behind the scenes, and just criticizing for the sake of it (or because other people do so), or criticizing from an ideological point of view (do one thing and do it well). They see systemd as an octopus, not following the unix ideology. Which I don't really agree tbh
Faaak··on Run0, a systemd based alternative to sudo, announced
I find this quite clever. Yeah yeah, "systemd is bad, it's a monopoly, yadda yadda".

Well, there's also a reason they are doing it, and many aspects of it (seatd, timesyncd, resolved, run), and more neat than cobbling together bash scripts. I like it

Faaak··on Reentry – An Orbital Simulator
meh; with proton must windows games work remarkably great on Linux now. Don't even have a windows game box anymore
Faaak··on Giving Rust a chance for in-kernel codecs
Sorry for this non-hn reply, but "lol"
Faaak··on How NASA Repaired Voyager 1 from 15B Miles Away
This reads like a great opening to a geek-sci-fi book!
Faaak··on Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone
And I would reply: "Gnome!" which proves op's point ;-)
Faaak··on ESPHome
There are black "waterproof" (weatherproof?) ultrasonic sensors that last a way longer time
Faaak··on Waymo illegal overtake into wrong-way driving
Sure, but this article is about Waymo. We can create a new link about "unicycle rider with a camera driving on the opposite lane", but that's another topic
