I'd just ask for a dark theme based on the browser's preferences.

Podcast + 45' walk in the morning before work. Couch potato to 5k training plan in 3 months while listening to a podcast you enjoy.

Halve your food intake. Eat the same, just half. Don't snack after dinner.

It's a very interesting thought that the technologies to reach 90% carbon emission reduction are within reach, since they already exist, but will require some readjustments to our lifestyle.

There's a number of technologies and traits that, if adopted en-masse, would definitely reduce our energy and material consumption and extend the sustainability of our planet.

Stop eating meat, extended warranties in home products and designing goods in a way they can be easily repaired, led bulbs, better insulation for buildings, solar water heaters, heat pumps, bicycles...

We could easily consume a fifth of the resources we use now and be as happy if twenty selected things were banned in the world. But we live in a capitalist world, there's only hope in people taking the initiative.

There's been similar concepts in Europe for decades: https://www.alucasa.com/viviendas-residenciales

Your 20 year old statically compiled binary still works on Linux, probably.

What is outrageous if that the UK prevents you from getting any benefit of you have any savings. It's basically encouraging you to not save any money.

China did a harder lockdown than any other country has done. Right from the beginning. Took an immense toll to its economy, right from the beginning. A WHO team was there investigating and gathering information on public health from the beginning.

I'm sorry, but in this case, China is the country who told the rest of the world what to do and the west, with its superiority mentality over the east, ignored it and got a while year economy down the drain.

In my book, conspiracies will always make their way to those who want to believe them.

I wrote a novel that takes place in the near future (2035) and the main character is a 18 year old. I predict that using phones will be banned until you come off age and their technology interaction is restricted to smart watches.

Social media is damaging to adults, I wonder why nobody has put a limit by law to younger people.

I used Corona a lot in a startup a few years ago to build prototypes of small games for education and it was a fantastic experience. I even did a quizz game as my wedding present for guests with Corona! I wonder why they stopped trying to monetise it, given how good a product it was, and in the boom of mobile app development.

I use andOTP, open source and can export and import keys so you can have them backed up.

https://www.multiplayerpiano.com/ is a similar one

Using it for years. Pretty good and it's even included in the latest versions of git for windows (if you can't use something else, as it was my case for a while)

Tiny templating libraries like mustache are ideal for that. https://mustache.github.io/

I just wish it got features that were in Photoshop in the early 00s. Adjustment layers, basic effects as part of the layers ...

How to deal with my kids 7 days a week!

I tried this a while ago and didn't find the option, is midi supported to trigger scene changes, fadings, etc...?

There's is a website that's keeping versions of Winamp, including the one I consider the best 2.95 https://winampheritage.com/download-winamp-player

I wrote a "scumm restructurer" (scummatlas) that takes the games binaries and outputs all the scripts, room data, etc... In a readable form. And the scummvm documentation and source code was invaluable.

Europe has had trains travelling at 200mph for three decades https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVE & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TGV Britain is just way behind, and it's gonna stay that way.

So, Apple is launching an offering on par with Google's seven years later. Is that what we call innovation?

We stopped using waste bags a while ago for all residues except food waste (for which the council required potato starch bags). We have containers at home where we place the plastic waste, which we rinse if it's too dirty, and clean the container with a hose if it's smelly after dumping it in the council bin we have in the driveway.

It usually requires a bit of thought to stop using 90% of single-use plastic, but my family has found it possible.

No way one a single block weights 35 tons. A concrete cubic meter weights 2.4 tons.

9.8m/s2 * 120m * 35000kg = 41160000 J = 11.4 kWh

Not convinced. Am I missing how they get to store 20 MWh of energy using gravity?

Interestingly, when manipulating a led strip you can see light produced by voltage differences between your hands.

This article compares the tinkerboard with the raspi3+, which bums the ethernet wprformancw by a degree of magnitude.

Not all of them. I'm just noting the lack of correlation between limit of mandates and democracy index.

Lots of other countries don't impose a limit in this many terms the prime minister of the head of state can be reelected... And some have a higher democracy index than the US, where such a limit is in place.

The minimum salary in the UK is roughly £12k/year... He's still making 50% more than the lowest paid employees.

I wouldn't consider it now since I'm kind of settled here (house ownership, kids, etc...). Also, the London scene is so international and diverse that I don't think I'd feel at home anywhere else now.
