Wow, for the first time this finally feels like the true web3.

I see that here a viewpoint is widely reflected that we can substitute nuclear with solar/wind. And maybe today it could be feasible in certain areas albeit not always economical. What this viewpoint misses, is the fact that we will need an increasingly more power, as we always did, and I am certain that if we would have a chance to go 100 years into the future, power demand will be so high that our current abilities to supply power via nuclear and solar/wind combined will not be enough to cover the demand.

I dare to point out that this article provides no real evidence for these audacious accusations.

I find the comparis estimate an overestimate. Take their VW Polo example. You would definitely not insure it for 1207 Fr a year and an annual service is not 3000 Fr a year. You take their estimate for VW Polo, put numbers a layman folk pays for, and you will get a number around 5000 a year. If you buy a second hand car, then you get a very competitive price to the GA, but also get more flexibility.

I am not saying anyone should by a car, quite the contrary, just stating the fact that 4000 Fr/yr is not competitive enough to car.

Upper management does not need to log working hours and can work unpaid overtime. So, they can easily exchange emails on weekends. But when they involve a regular employee, who has to reach working hours, then it's overtime.

Async/await just like threads is a concurrency mechanism and also always requires locks when accessing the shared memory. Where does your statement come from?

It looks like folks haven't studied in a modern environment or haven't used all the tools available to them.

During classes you take notes using a keyboard. The you and your colleagues merge everything into a single set of notes. E.g., in a private wiki. That makes you review your notes at least once, and in the end you will end up with mega notes written in the language common to students of the year that you wouldn't be able to creat on your own. Beat that.

1. Doesn't macOS turn off font antialiasing for retina displays? I believe retina displays (with desktop scaling) is the real solution to crispy fonts.

Oh wow, the USA is now repeating Russia's mistake. :)

Russia abolished time shifting more than a decade ago and adopted DST. But then they realized that mornings in winter time were very depressive (too dark) and hence in 2014 switched back standard time.

The biggest takeout for me is that most people so not support any of the two parties in the country. A clear sign that more parties and a more diverse spectrum of opinions are needed!

If you are looking at Adobe for Lightroom, get Capture One instead. No trickery and it's a much superior product.

I switched to it in fact after getting burned with the Adobe cancellation thing. Never looked back.

I also tried darktable. But Capture One does magic. The photos turn out always much better than what I could do with any ohter product.

It's saddening that folks say Axie is a play-to-earn pioneer. This genre existed for ages and is called gambling. Poker being a prime example of a truly successful game combining luck, fun, and skill. The best part -- no NFTs required.

I wonder what motivated Chinese students to offend the poor guy from Hong Kong. I can think of several plausible reasons: - pure fanaticism of CCP China - such bullying is just the norm in daily lives where they grew up - someone from Chinese special services approached them and their families and pressured them to make such comments (to peer pressure)

Knowing that they made to the USA makes me believe that the first one is improbable and the last reason is so convincing.

I would love that too. I remember that there was an opposite movement, i.e., all prices need to have all fees included, which is fare but prevents competition. Exposing credit card fees upfront to customers is the only way to promote real competition between credit cards and their networks.

What that really means is that the software has bugs and there's a hope that these will get fixed before they begin to be distributed. Note that there's more software in it than just Android.

Wait for a full review before hitting that buy button.

And we should appreciate journalists who disclose what Embargo is enforced on them.

I very much agree with everything you wrote, except for the arrogance bit. Many actually suffer from the impostor syndrome and just a few I could call arrogant. I'm sorry you had to deal with them but please don't generalize from just a few.

My ISP gives the whole /48 subnet of IPv6 addresses to their private customers. But here we do have some real competition between ISPs.

Teams are now an integrated part of Windows. Smells like an another antitrust case, or Europeans are going to get a version without this.

What you probably really want is to see a choice right after ordering some food: "Enable foodpanda notifications?" with options "enable", "keep disabled", and "enable for 2 hours".

I'd like to provide a counter point. As a person coming from Quake 2, I find CS shooting mechanics at the very least annoying. I can't find anything pleasurable in them.

I still played CS but mainly because of the team play it added. Simple, flexible, and enjoyable.

Except when the Friday deployment breaks production and one of your employees needs to fix the issue on Saturday instead of relaxing with their family.

I agree that JSON is a shouldn't be used as a configuration language.

However, one could use Python as a configuration language! It could fill in the configuration object, which will then be transferred to the main app using JSON, YAML, XML, or something better than that.

And most importantly, the commenter gave one's suggestion based on representiveness, which are not facts. The rest follows from here.

Impressive, great work!

This is so responsive! What stack do you use?

There's another side of the medal. Merchants that are trying to sell anything on Amazon have to have some positive reviews, otherwise their product will not be sold at all, even when the product is great. I guess that here two factors contribute, the product is being outranked by others, which have good reviews, and users not trusting such products.

I totally see how in this chicken and egg problem merchants would choose to buy some fake reviews.

Now, add the problem of lack of transparency in reviews, i.e. there's no record of rejected legitimate reviews, no record of removed reviews; and now you have a dysfunctional system. No one is happy about it, but it degrades both quality of Amazon and trust in it.

Why would Switzerland and Norway introduce this law?

It's actually pretty good! Trapped me for couple hours solving some non trivial puzzles!
