> Nowhere in the world is electrolysis done at scale.

Not yet. I know Siemens has some pilot plants running:https://www.siemens-energy.com/global/en/home/products-servi...

> A word which I, and suspect most, have never heard before.

It's a pretty normal word in British English, tbh.

Maybe it's because we do French at school.

> why does it matter how many files?

Because this is for scripts in ~/bin, not projects.

They need to be self-contained.

You can add what you want to /etc/hosts, but you need to actually control a domain to get a real cert for it that your browser will trust. Otherwise, you need to mess about with self-signed certs, browser exceptions, etc.

If you already own a domain, it's pretty convenient.

YT is top tier? Oof.

The app is so full of click-me dark patterns, it feels more like an iffy porn site than the product of a major tech corp.

> According to reporting at the guardian [1], FBs DEI program increased black and brown employees from 8% to 12%. Seems abysmal.

Abysmal based on what? What % of CS graduates are brown/black to begin with?

> but this is giving me pause about using other software by the same author

Go read the article again. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

What's up with that?

Why would you rather build SUVs for soccer moms than race cars?

Ah yes, the economy.

Sod people. Won't somebody think of the LLCs!!!

The sheer impudence of workers demanding money for their work and whining about rent.

There are shareholders over here who don't even have a megayacht to sit around on all day.

But it's one that you can fix.

A tale as old as tales, then.

Differs from country to country. In DE, salaried employees still have a number of hours/week in their contract (usually ~38) and are expected to log overtime and later take time in lieu. Max. permissible work hours per week is 48.

There are a bunch of exceptions for specific jobs.

The working hours, comp+ben etc. are usually determined by collective agreement with unions.

Pay for the same job can vary dramatically depending on which union your employer has a collective agreement with.

I know several people who got 25-30% pay rises just by moving to another part of the company that had an agreement with IG Metall instead of ver.di.

> just give tax credits

On what? The EU doesn't levy any taxes and has no authority to.

The reason they're paying with grants is because that's what they've got.

Solar panels don't work as well when they're hot, do they?

Four units with a combined capacity of 1.2GW.

That's a far cry from 10GW.

It was in their store.

How is selling fake investment apps different to selling fake sneakers?

> Apple is well known for keeping web app experience subpar compared to native app experience.

Web apps are subpar compared to native apps.

I'm not surprised Apple is in no hurry to further enable lowest-common-denominator shovelware.

Electron is a plague on macOS.

On the same note, Benny Kjær Nielsen, the developer of MailMate for macOS is absolutely amazing.

He spent half a day debugging a rather trivial issue with me and even sent me a custom build.

Cool. How do I switch it to standard units?

EDIT: NVM, found it. You tap the temperature.

EDIT 2: It really ought to remember the units. 95% of the planet doesn't ever want to see Fahrenheit.

> opposite of their original sense, e.g. inflammable for flammable

Inflammable was never the opposite of flammable. Those word have always been synonyms. The opposite was always non-flammable.

AOL was extremely successful in its day.

They had 40 million customers paying $20/month 30 years ago.

> the court agreed

As I understand it, the court didn't so much agree as practically force them to accept the deal.

The whole thing was largely engineered by the Sacklers managing to get the case heard by probably the most Sackler-friendly judge in the country.

> It's like all these people who basically were in content distribution didn't really wise up to the next, new thing in their business even as it happened in front of their eyes.

I think you ought to give them a bit more credit than that.

I think the problem is that launching a streaming service is basically going into competition with their cable partners. It wasn't worth jeopardising their cable revenue at that time.

> However, hobby apps will not be able to afford designers or support or long-lived servers.

It's not like many professional services manage the long-lived part, either, is it?

I have much more confidence in my WebDAV server still being around in a decade than pretty much any cloud-based service.

Go is child's play to build (and cross-compile).

Simpler than having to worry about Python versions, let alone dependencies.

> One of the problems with Apple is the industry seems to mindlessly ape their good and bad decisions.

That's hardly Apple's fault, but it is so annoying. Hardly any of my cables have proper reinforcement sleeves any more.

Apple started making awful cables that snapped at the plugs, and everybody else just copied them.

I've seen one for Bean ledgers, so that's a bookkeeping LSP, I guess.

> They seem happy to continue playing catch up in this regard.

Catch up with what? Does anyone else have an AI product actually worth having?

Is it somehow bad that Apple hasn't also released an AI that doesn't do what it's supposed do half of the time?

The problem here, I think, is the words, not the concepts.

Like remembering when it's spelled "stationary" and when "stationery".

"Still" and "paper" are easier to remember.

Junk mail is a lot older than the Internet.
