Yeah but imagine how much more powerful AI will be by then. Command it to refactor it's sloppy code.

I wouldn't say they are falling. The pricing is just being distributed differently to make it look like you can beat the system.

For my specific plan, the daily rate (supply charge) has gone up from $1.13 to $1.80. That is a price regardless of any usage. This varies depending on what you select for your usage rates. So if you happen to get a lower per kWh rate, then your supply rate goes up.

Time of use also is manipulative. If you have a variable rate (time of use) then your peak time is much higher than your off peak which is higher still if you were on a fixed rate plan. If you select a plan that has 3 "free" hours then the peak time is rediculous priced.

So to sum up.. You have to have a very good understanding of how you use your power.

Home battery systems, and solar to some extent, are essentially 'pre-pay' schemes. A shift of where your money goes. At least for the next 7 to 10 years which is a rough payback period for solar/battery.

I would also like to mention, when Australia introduced the solar panel schemes, the retailers were paying 60c/kWh for infeed, now they are paying 1 to 2c. The high infeed allowed a home owner to offset their bills by infeeding while at work, sometimes even generate a credit just from solar. Certainly not these days. So what would be the next shift after they get everyone on home battery systems.

Very cool!

Need to make the reading text longer though for people such as my super human wife that still had 10 seconds (or more) left after finishing.

It tops out at around 550-600 words per minute.

I think I might generate one of these on a daily basis. Articles and all!

Reminds me of RC Pro Am :-)

I would be looking for a solution to run Minecraft official launcher in Linux. It is heavily integrated with Windows extras such as the Microsoft Store.

This is the last holdout to get my children on Linux.

When I run into issues with running games on Linux (Steam or otherwise), I found it useful to consult protondb.com to see what others have gotten to work. You can filter by OS or keyword etc.

Have you tried CachyOS? May get the results you are looking for with Desktop or even Handheld addition.

I also use RSS feeds. A couple sites that are useful to me that I picked up from HN submissions recently:

I also had typing classes in the 90s which I believe helped but I was also eager to learn how as I didn't have a computer at home, so any chance to get my hands on a typewriter or computer.

I believe my touch typing speed come about with instant messaging applications such as AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, or chatting in mIRC. I felt the need to type as fast as possible to be able to stay in the conversation with many users or to keep conversation moving as naturally as speaking speed.

I setup dual boot on a second ssd with CachyOS seven months ago and haven't looked back yet.

I was most concerned with gaming on Linux which is why I chose Cachy and was pleasantly surprised on how well it works. Not without some issues but compared to the growing annoyances I have with Windows 11 in the last year or so, I am more than happy with my decision.

I run a modern PC, Intel 14th gen, RTX 4070-Ti, CachyOS with Plasma desktop environment. KDE Plasma is amazing and modern in its own right.

I too have been on CachyOS for 6 months, dual boot but have no need to boot into Windows.

I am running a modern PC (z790, i9-14400k, RTX 4070-Ti)

My main concern was gaming on Linux and I have been pleasantly surprised at the limited issues I have had -- only minor things.

I have recently played around with Gnome-boxes and seems to do the trick although it would be nice have GPU passthrough.

I love CachyOS and the Plasma DE and do not plan to return to Windows.

I have Crohn's disease and have learned of a somewhat recently named organ (2012)

I recently wanted to learn the basics to help my son and came across this article that made the most sense to me.

Pixel Art Tutorial: Basics

https://www.derekyu.com/makegames/pixelart.html

I have come across other articles that are similar in context but not as cleanly laid out.

The article doesn't go into the usage of software though. I think the design work flow, within software, would be greatly helpful in the understanding of achieving a great outcome. At least in a faster manner.

I hope that helps!

Other one-handed keyboards with different input methods. All sorts of interesting custom keyboards as well.

Ah.. I got the same. But I think I got really lucky.

I found this article to be very helpful

I love it! I will take a closer look at some stage.

I have a full set of the Burger King promo figures still in the plastic which I just recently pulled out of storage box to show my young son.

I have had Jellyfin running as a media server on an i7 gen4 PC that I have setup as a NAS as well. I first tried subsonic client and Nextcloud but I was only running it on an Odroid H2. I think the extra CPU performance helps.

I run Jellyfin and Symfonium. Symfonium isn't free but it is feature filled and it seems to be a passion for the Dev.

All for other options in this area as it has taken me a few goes at finding something that works for me. Usually it is the client that is lacking.

A nice article explaining the difference between hsl and oklch and the benefits. I also think it should be called 'Oklachroma'.

Article started off great, got excitement building, then wrapped up with nothing to show. I have a feeling I will run into the same scenario when I spent some days looking further into this.

I know this article isnt about the book but I haven't thought about it in decades.

Loved it as a child. I should have another look.

This is cool! I love Oregon Trail and did not realise there is a chose your own adventure book. Thank you.

Since you are using the Steam platform, I think there is a lot of potential for game devs, or users of games, to create themed live wallpaper.

My apologies as I was not clear. Copy or Save after crop, and arrows, numbers etc.

Thank you for pointing out that ShareX has an editor. I was aware that it has that feature but I do not remember the specifics on why I went back to Flameshot.

The lacking features of Flameshot is that once you move away from the editor, you can not go back and make alterations. Not that I am aware of anyway.

I think you can move objects around but I believe you have to de-select the tool first. Try pressing ESC first to deselect. Going off of my poor memory.

I found it to be the exact opposite. ShareX has a lot of features which makes it hard to quickly get your head around all its clutter, when sometimes all you want to a screenshot utility.

Flameshot has key bindings just like any other screenshot program. If the shortcut is already bound by another program, then it will not let you bind it to Flameshot, I believe.

I have been using Flameshot portable for years and it isn't without missing features but I keep coming back to it. I generally use the copy function, sometimes save to location. It would be good to have a built in editor that can be loaded after the action.

A red light not turning on will only give you the impression that nothing is being recorded.

Nintendo reinvigorated my love for their games since playing Super Mario Maker on Wii U, so much so that I bought a Switch when they released Super Mario Maker 2. Only to be infuriated with the decision to put half of the game behind their paid Nintendo Online service.

One thing to add a paid service to a game but to put features that were in the original game behind the service as well is not OK with me. Very similar to split screen multiplayer mode lacking in games these days. Now, if you want to play with a friend, well you need internet, you need another console, you need another game and you are more than likely not even playing in the same house let alone same room.
