What's the "green agenda" that you're referring to?

How are ICE cars being "banned" soon?

How will the consumption quadruple and why do you think that increased consumption won't be accompanied by infrastructure upgrades?

You didn't really answer the question.

Random, unregulated... Now try and use this argument against regular bikes. They suffer from the same problem for the same reasons. Having a motor or not has nothing to do with it.

Why does it matter whether an e-scooter is "powered"? Mine has a 500W motor and the power cuts off above 20 km/h. I'd be much more dangerous on a regular bike.

Me having or not having to spin my legs around has nothing to do with anything.

Where do you live? AirPods are completely transparent to me, i.e. I don't even consciously notice if a person is wearing them (just like I don't really notice earrings or watches).

Instead of building fast native application delivery and sandboxing we're taking the longer way around and reinventing OSes inside a document (!) browser.

Can't say that it makes me happy.

Please provide numbers.

You either get a chop-chop-chop, or a bzzzt, both incredibly loud. It's not the engine that makes the noise, it's mostly the propeller/rotor. The only advantage of electric VTOLs is easier manufacturing and better control.

You can stream games on a 25 Mbps connection if your latency is low enough. Now imagine downloading not a 30GB, but a 90GB game, and on this 25Mbps connection instead of your 960Mbps one.

What did the guy do?

Two words: HTTP compression

Why did they go fully open-wheel when aiming for higher efficiency? I always thought that the wheels produce some brutal drag.

I'm genuinely terrified.

What? Why a Stirling? Please elaborate.

So, the relationship between the number of doses and omicron immunity is highly non-linear and pretty unintuitive? (Recent vax vs recent booster)

The anti-vax community is going to love this.

Maybe that CPU cooler wasn't really a CPU cooler after all, if it didn't have direct contact with the CPU.

Maybe the fan was more of a case fan and it simply ran air through the whole machine INCLUDING the CPU heatsink, which is AFAIK exactly how it worked.

Btw they did the same thing in Jihlava.

"They were erasing data" is afaik the current Qanon explanation after they slowly realized this wasn't the "ten days of darkness".

My first thought after reading the article (especially about the nasty tiered pricing system) was to see what a person who does this for a living looks like.

Weird, the actual serbian word is "čuda", pronounced "chuda", and they're completely ignoring the diacritics.

I'd like to know as well. Never had any covid AFAIK, yet I'm currently on my second week of feeling tired and on my fourth day of experiencing heart palpitations maybe once every hour (feels like my heart skipped a beat and the next one is a bit stronger). I've never had this before and my antigen test yesterday was negative.

It often sounds like that to me.

Cross platform, right. So we ignore the perfectly adequate operating systems with their mature GUI frameworks, system calls, filesystems and programming language support, because having separate teams for different platforms is apparently too much, and instead we over-engineer the fuck out of web technologies (both front and back end) to the point people are estimating their RAM needs using the number of Chrome tabs they use.

She's also a morbidly obese feminist who uses bright colored lipstick and wears fancy outfits. That's who I expected.

My problem with it is that most of the new stuff ends up in production and widely used for cargo-culting reasons.

This makes me want to quit webdev and never look back. Why the fuck are we recreating operating systems in the browser? We already have operating systems. We already have containers. We already have native code execution.

So I opened the About on the website and I can't quite put my finger on it, but the author is exactly who I imagined her to be after finishing the article.

I agree that her coworkers are mostly jerks, but it sounds like she too may not be the most pleasant person to keep around.

1980's computers compared to today's computers are like an IKEA chair compared a nuclear aircraft carrier.

You're living in a beautiful bubble.

I am happy about it, since I live in Prague (capital of one of their neighbors) and the local green/left was kinda waiting for this to go through.
