mastermage··on Seven countries now generate nearly all their electricity from renewables (2024)
My exact area at the moment, the problem is not the distance but recharging because the infrastructure for fast charging Electric Trucks has not rolled out broadly enough yet. Other than that the technology is completely ready its literally just missing some infrastructure that is being built right now.

looking at the current Geopolitical Climate this does not seem like an Irrational Fear. And I do not mean the fear of a reactor meltdown. But if you refine Uranium for a Powerplant you can also Refine it for a bomb.

All of the discussions here conveniently ignore the existance of Wind. Which fortunately has higher yield in the months when there is less sun.

Classical Google removing things that are pretty normal while leaving actively harmful, scams, gambling etc. apps online.
mastermage··on 447 TB/cm² at zero retention energy – atomic-scale memory on fluorographane
My entire answer exists in the context of a hpyothetical we were not discussing the realism of it.

It was in the context of if someone would invent this technology. To which then the question was what advantage does this have.

Now going and posing the question wheter this is realistic or feasible is making this argumentation circular.

I knew it was a pain getting grants but not that its well that much of a pain.
mastermage··on A perfectable programming language
Well Ruby kinda brought forth Crystal which while its own Programming Language is kinda Ruby but with Types.
mastermage··on Why do we tell ourselves scary stories about AI?
I meant more in a physical destructive sense.

Couldn't you potentially get some smaller grants from each of the fields? Or is that too much paperwork. It always seems so much work to get those grants.

No Street Infrastructure needeed to drive anywhere (kinda).
mastermage··on Why do we tell ourselves scary stories about AI?
I think the Nuclear Bomb is still scarier. But AI is not scary for its destructive potential but for its potential to disrupt our society fundamentally, and not just in a good way.
mastermage··on We've raised $17M to build what comes after Git
I think Git specifically with jj is still a massively good tool. There are some interesting alternatives happening like Fossil with its auto commit which for single devs is probably realy nice. Or Pijul but thats very early stage.

Alternatively I had the idea of something that automatically syncs your current working progress similar to how Word and Excel autosave work. With a main "branch" thats never developed in and will only be merged into from synced streams. But that idea is nowhere near cooked out yet.

And Self hostable.
mastermage··on France to ditch Windows for Linux to reduce reliance on US tech
Do you have anything on your LSW because i have a handful of software that i do not want to miss on Linux.

I think Marvel Rivals works fine so its not all Competitive Shooters ä.
mastermage··on Proton Meet isn't what they told you it was
Its not binary but rather orthogonal.
mastermage··on Proton Meet Isn't What They Told You It Was
I am not American so my lense may be a different one. What I am coming from is basically an extension of the German Laws that Govern the Mail Secret (Briefgeheimnis) which actually is constitutionally enshrined in the German constitution.

But has notable exceptions that can be made uppon federal law. The burden for these is supposed to be pretty high.

I think this should not happen willy nilly. And if thats the case in the US I am obviously against it.

It is a complex multi layered subject because it has to weigh the rights of multiple people against each other.

mastermage··on Modern SQLite: Features You Didn't Know It Had
Sqlite is pretty great I personaly would appreciate abit more expressive types though.
mastermage··on Proton Meet isn't what they told you it was
Privacy and anonymity are not the same.

I am fundamentally against spyware that constantly monitors you and reports anything. Because of the constant and pre crime nature of it.

On the other hand i am actually not fundamentally against turning over data when independent judges sign a warrant.

This is arguably a very tight rope to walk but i think thats the most realistic comporomise between my right to privacy and the right of others to get justice when something is done onto them.

mastermage··on Show HN: Forkrun – NUMA-aware shell parallelizer (50×–400× faster than parallel)
I am realy not knledgable in this, so how does this differ from the classic cluster job managers like lets say SLURM?
mastermage··on Artemis II is not safe to fly
> If you play a single round of Russian roulette with a revolver, it is likely you will not die, but it is also not safe to do that. The same idea applies here.

Fundamentally space travel is not save, it cannot be (atleast at our Technological level) Space is unimaginably hostile to life. We cannot reduce this danger to zero.

mastermage··on Artemis II is not safe to fly
because companies are very not likely to pay for foundational research.
mastermage··on Android Developer Verification
actualy yeah its way more direct than google play store technically
mastermage··on C++26 is done: ISO C++ standards meeting Trip Report
I mean the Carbon project exists

Ada is a greatly designed language and I mean this. The problem Ada has is highly proprietary compilers.
mastermage··on The European AllSky7 fireball network
They predicted the angle and where you could view it from. Finding the fragments much more difficult because it scattered into tiny pieces all over. The students searched for like 2 weeks to find a some pieces the size of a thumb.
mastermage··on Antimatter has been transported for the first time
Oh my god i never read this thats so cool
mastermage··on The European AllSky7 fireball network
Oh thats genuinely realy cool.

I remember back when I lived in Berlin and studied planetary Science there. One of the Professors calculated and predicted where one of those Meteors is gonna go down. So people went there and watched and photographed it. Afterwards there was a little bit of an all hands on deck where a lot of students with different Professors went out and searched for the remains of the meteorite.
