I specifically picked the statistic that claimed to have included the full cost of installing something new. Most other statistics only include prolonging the life of existing plants, thus ignoring the installation costs completely. You can just quote the paragraphs that prove your point the same way I have and then we can discuss further. Maybe I made a mistake, who knows.
Extremely cheap per kilowatt? Every statistic out there that I’ve seen and that includes government funding, as well as construction and deconstruction costs, paints a different picture. Nuclear is only competitive with coal or the relatively underdeveloped solar thermal.
In 2017 the US EIA published figures for the average levelized costs per unit of output (LCOE) for generating technologies to be brought online in 2022, as modelled for its Annual Energy Outlook. These show: advanced nuclear, 9.9 ¢/kWh; natural gas, 5.7-10.9 ¢/kWh (depending on technology); and coal with 90% carbon sequestration, 12.3 ¢/kWh (rising to 14 ¢/kWh at 30%). Among the non-dispatchable technologies, LCOE estimates vary widely: wind onshore, 5.2 ¢/kWh; solar PV, 6.7 ¢/kWh; offshore wind, 14.6 ¢/kWh; and solar thermal, 18.4 ¢/kWh.

Modern browsers happily show you the actual characters, while sending their encoded entities to the server. So, from a user perspective there is no ASCII limitation. Case in point: söhne.at (just some random website, I have no idea what they are or if they are legitimate)
Sure, there were electric cars. But if I remember correctly, Tesla was the first to deliver the whole next-gen package with an every day, everywhere car, plus charging stations plus the whole automation. If you wanted that, there was no way around Tesla for quite a while.
Teslas were the “best”, as in the only option for what they did. They were never the “best”, as in better than existing products for what they did.
Being first to market for such a long time was an incredible feat and it speaks volumes that their position isn’t much, much stronger at the end of it.
When I installed Kinoite to start using Linux as my primary daily driver, the first thing I did was setting up Ansible, creating a new playbook and all Linux configurations I made from that point on, are only ever done through that playbook, which is backed up in my Forgejo instance. One command and everything is being set up exactly the way I want. It feels extremely liberating.
Windows hss supported slashes in both directions for a very long time. I almost exclusively use forward slashes to reduce mental load when switching between OSes.
When the low rolling character convinces the high rolling one, that they are seeing things, the real fun begins.
It depends. Some hardware degrades gracefully while my current desktop system won’t even boot and throws error codes on an empty battery. It took me hours to figure out what was wrong the first time it happened.
Coffee seems to be a self enforcing meme at this point. It’s not unhealthy enough to have suffered the same fate as cigarettes. Which had pretty much the same jokes not too long ago.
It’s the same argument. Getting a reasonable amount of charging is possible in 15 minutes. But not everyone has immediate access to fast charging stations. If everyone could always make a deliberate decision whether to go easy on the battery and save money or having to be places, EVs may look much more appealing to a lot of people.
It turns out there’s still plenty I don’t know, and I spend much more of my time confused and frustrated than I did before. The cool part is that I’m now confused and frustrated by really interesting problems.
This is spot on. Your whole response ist just a trove of insight, I wouldn’t have been able to articulate so eloquently.
Paperless -> Paperless-ng -> Paperless-ngx
Yeah, it’s the same for me. The content is awesome but requires a lot of concentration.
As you mentioned, with Fedora the best alternatives are immutable spins. Updating means downloading a new base image, applying overlays and additional installations to it and on the next reboot you start from that image. You can configure it to keep as many previous versions as you need and boot into those directly on startup. Since you never change your current image once it’s built, you can’t break a known good system. You can only ever break your next version and in that case, just boot the previous.
I’ve created an Ansible playbook that configures a vanilla Kinoite the way I want it. No need to back up the system if I can recreate it with less than a megabyte of text files. Secrets are in my password vault, personal files are in my personal cloud and get synced to and from the laptop continuously. I would never go back to backing up system files as opposed to recreating it with a playbook. That seems so wasteful in hindsight.
Flatpak with Fedora 39 must have come a long way. Almost every tutorial with workarounds or discussion of broken features you can find online is now obsolete. It just works out of the box, especially under KDE. Mostly. That makes searching for actual issues extremely hard because I find myself chasing down paths of issues that have long been resolved.
There are different versions of Outlook depending on your subscription. Companies that do things properly, never see the problematic, “free version” of Outlook. They have very fine control over the features and data collections they enable.
Weird, I’ve never had problems over the past 15 years or so and I’ve been using VPS servers exclusively. Maybe my providers were reputable enough.
I realize my evidence is only anecdotal, but that’s why I started “in my experience”. Also, common blacklists are checked by the services I mentioned.
The Lenovo business models (ThinkPad series) are amazing value. My 11 year old laptop is still going strong.
Just stay far away from any Lenovo non-business models.
Also, Kanban was invented in the 40s as a process for automotive production lines. That’s why it aligns so well with maintenance and operations projects in IT. It’s ridiculous how more and more people claim it comes from software development and would not fit hardware projects, when that’s the core use case of the methodology.
