janc_··on US blocks all offshore wind construction, says reason is classified
I know where the nuclear waste is stored here. Its storage is funded by the government for now (not included in electricity prices) and nobody can actually prove it will be safe for the centuries it will be dangerous.

There is a Belgian company that can use temperarure & other fluctuations in underseas power & cimmunication cables to detect nearby objects etc. I'm sure they are willing to help the US navy if they can convince them the US is a solid NATO partner… ( oh, wait, that might have become difficult…)

They are not (necessarily) invisible, that depends on size & many other variables.

Also, hypersonic missiles are perfectly vusible on radar.

Economic sense depends on individual/local circumstances also.

The weirdest part was that it increased share value, when realistically it should have decreased it…

Venezuelan oil is more about US refineries that can only use very heavy oil, and US wells for such oil running out. Those refineries decided it is cheaper to bribe Trump than to invest into converting their factories. They are using US tax payer dolars (in a war with Venezuela) to avoid having to invest into their own conpanies.

There is also a significant cost to moving electricity production from a relatively small number of centralised plants to almost everywhere. Once the infrastructure is adapted to that, costs should normalise again.

Doctors should never deny patients.

They can take precautions & insist on proper treatments, of course.

Should be easy enough to use some form of active noise cancelling for that.

That's nonsense. Many countries have been using drones before. (Starting with Nazi Germany during WW 2.)

And don't forget the cost of storing nuclear waste for the next 10000 years, which is never included in the "cost of nuclear".

Many countries shut down all their coal plants over a decade ago. Why didn't yours?

Arguing the EU has less regulation than the USA on anything is 99.9999% always wrong.
janc_··on Pricing Changes for GitHub Actions
There are several services I know who offer this for free for open source software, and I really doubt any commercial offerings of that software would charge you extra for what is basic API usage.

This is actually about abusing Microsoft's market position to eliminate competitors in related markets, plain & simple.
janc_··on Pricing Changes for GitHub Actions
Somewhere around 0.00004$ probably.

Nice profit margin…

ABuse it.

The Dutch government represenrative mentioned contacts with French colleagues about this also.

Forgejo might be a better option for that now.
janc_··on Full Unicode Search at 50× ICU Speed with AVX‑512
I think all of those should be "tentative matches" for each other.

Even when transliteration is somewhat de-facto standardised, it usually is dependent on the target/host language. So e.g. Arabic & Russian are transliterated differently in e.g. English, French, German, Dutch, etc.
janc_··on Rust GCC backend: Why and how
Over the years several frontends for languages that used to be out-of-tree for years have been integrated. So both working in-tree & outside are definitely possible.
janc_··on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux
That sounds like an anti-competitive action by a near-monopoly player…
janc_··on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux
Popping up dialogs in the middle of watching a movie sounds like a hidden manufacturing defect. That should be enough to get your money back on returning it to the shop (assuming your country has anything resembling consumer protection laws).
janc_··on BMW PHEV: Safety fuse replacement is extremely expensive
BMW always had a reputation for frequent & expensive repairs, even as far back as the 1970s (although I guess "typical" BMW drivers aren't the most careful either, so maybe that's also relevant...).
janc_··on 4Chan Lawyer publishes Ofcom correspondence
Alibaba has warehouses & hubs in Europe (and I assume the US), where it first imports to its own subsidiary here, so this is somewhat debateable.
janc_··on StageConnect: Behringer protocol is open source
Most likely automotive stuff is specified with huge safety margins.
janc_··on ElementaryOS – Thoughtful, capable and ethical replacement for Windows/macOS
They forked off from Gnome, and thus used Gobject/Gtk, which probably wouldn't fit so well with Objective C & its decendents…
janc_··on ElementaryOS – Thoughtful, capable and ethical replacement for Windows/macOS
But more change always leads to more bugs, because more new bugs are introduced, and there is less time to fix them.

Rolling release & stable are mutually exclusive…
