I prefer Thunderbird. It doesn't need the app password for Gmail. With a bit of effort to you can make it auto open and close via scheduled commands to do a daily sync, or just leave it open.

Would be more interesting to know what the actual damage from these different sources are, rather than just is one cherry-picked statistic.

And where are wind and solar?

Get an 8 bit microcontroller dev board for a few bucks and learn how to control the peripherals. AVR are good and there is a lot of material online to learn from. Sorry I don't know any books.

Not the first, and won't be the last. We have to stop this madness.

It's missed the boat for being the first long range affordable EV. Hyundai got there first with the Kona, which has the range of the more expensive Model 3 Long Range but at the price of the cheaper Short Range one.

Don't get me wrong, the M3 is okay as a stripped down sporty hatchback, but the $35k model is looking a bit basic and overpriced already.

Kona confirmed for 7.4 0-100.

The Model 3 is looking a bit over priced now, with cars like the Kona and coming Lead 64 offering similar features, performance and better range for less money.

In Chrome just go to settings, accessibility and increase the font size. Works on my android phone.

I have the same experience working in an office job. The best thing I have found is to carefully manage my energy to avoid the boom/bust cycle, but it's only partially effective.

The best thing would be to simply work less hours. Say 28/week, but they would all be good high productivity ones. Unfortunately it would be a massive pay cut too, because employers don't think that way.

One technique I have found works is to do incorporate your own open source code into your work. Then when they want to see samples you have commercial quality code that isn't company property.

Wow. Bullying, sexual harassment, all the usual stuff.

How are people still getting away with this for so long? Didn't they even notice the high turnover and Glassdoor reviews?

I was hoping it was a replacement for Unicode... Unicode is so broken that we need something new.

The new Leaf isn't ugly at all, it looks quite good. Decent performance too.

Gnome saw how terrible Windows 8's start screen was and decided to double down on the phone style app drawer.

Then for good measure threw on the space wasting task bar from MacOS. Oh, and then in Ubuntu the window controls had to be on the wrong side too, obviously.

It's basically the anti-UX.

This. I tried every major Linux distro recently, and every one had really basic problems. For example, Ubuntu and Mint don't let you configure the mouse wheel scroll speed. There are hacks but none work reliably. Do all Ubuntu users really scroll web pages incredibly slowly?

And then there are the missing apps. Want a really good, free git GUI client? Sorry, not on Linux. It's git FFS, Linux should have great dev tools. Same with file managers.

I used to be an Amiga user, I'm a C developer and like tinkering. But I also want something that just works for the basics. Sad to say but Windows, for all its faults, does work. Visual Studio does work. And all the open source apps I use like Kicad are on Windows.

I really want to move to Linux, but it's too much work to make it work. These days I have better things to do with my computer.

In the long run it saves money on cleaning and dealing with the health consequences.

Like all infrastructure projects there is an initial outlay.

Not really a problem. Putting chargers in every space in a car park is pretty cheap, they are basically just circuit breakers or even just ordinary domestic style sockets.

Throw in a few fast ones for the people who need them and you are sorted. The fast chargers can be multi-head too, so even if someone finishes charging and doesn't come back someone else can still use it. Most rapid chargers are like that.

Also, if it's still a problem with a five minute charge, why doesn't it affect petrol pumps?

I am on my second Nissan Leaf and can tell you that your concerns are largely unfounded. Most charging is opportunistic, and when you do need to do a big evacuation a Tesla sized battery can last longer than you can safely drive. In fact in the EU legal limits on commercial drivers are already exceeded by battery tech.

As for wearing out, taxi companies with leafs have over 200k on the packs and they are still good. Teslas have hit 500k miles and are still find. All that "new battery every five years" stuff turned out to be nonsense.

I don't buy it. If you need to shave some bytes the first thing you do is look at the map file or run a binary analysis tool to figure out what the best candidates for optimisation are.

And if your performance is poor the first thing you do is add some debug code to measure what is taking too long and where the biggest gains can be made.

The whole point of these tools is to make this stuff easy to find.

Well there analysis wasn't very good, was it? It was her company and it's come back to hurt her years later.

Note she fails to mention the settlement in her denial, giving a misleading version of events.

Give us one example of someone wrongly punished who was denied due process.

The example in the link is flat out wrong. See my comment above.

If you are so concerned about romance you don't even have to ask with words. Just lean in slowly, so it's obvious what you want to do, and check their reaction.

Tell us, how do you normally determine if she wants to have sex? Start dry humping her because you are embarrassed to ask?

In this case the author of the article made an incorrect assumption. There was an imbalance of power. Journalists need access to politicians to do their jobs. They need professional relationships, they need to be at meetings and press events.

To an extent they have to humour politicians, and Fallon apparently mistook that for an invitation to kiss her.

The pendulum needs to swing a bit further yet I'm afraid.
