This is something that has been occasionally happening in Europe (at least in Germany, don’t know about France) for well over 10 years now. Probably more like 15.
What’s sorely needed at this point is much more storage to make this energy available when it is needed instead of when it isn’t. Before that happens, you cannot really decommission any gas or coal power plants, because you still need them during times of much less renewable production.
Going by what OP thinks “Chaotic Evil” means for sysadmins, they have clearly never heard of BOFH.
Writing good comments is an art form, and beginner programmers often struggle with it. They know comments mostly from their text books, where the comments explain what is happening to someone who doesn’t yet know programming, and nobody has told them yet that that is not at all a useful commenting style outside of education. So that’s how they use them. It usually ends up making the code harder to read, not easier.
Later on, programmers will need to learn a few rules about comments, like:
I have been sort of following Wayland’s development for over 10 years now. I have been using Wayland for over 2 years now. I have been reading and watching various lengthy arguments online for and against it. I still don’t feel like I actually know it even is, not beyond some handwavey superficialities. Definitely not to the extent and depth I could understand what X11 was and how to actually work with it, troubleshoot it when necessary and achieve something slightly unusual with it. I feel like, these days, you are either getting superficial marketing materials, ELI5 approaches that seem to be suited at best to pacify a nosy child without giving them anything to actually work with, or reference manuals full of unexplained jargon for people who already know how it works and just need to look up some details now and then…
Maybe I’m getting old. I used to like Linux because I could actually understand what was going on…
The KDE team has already determined that this is not a bug and that both you and me must just be imagining it:
In a language that has exceptions, there is no good reason to return bool here…
It’s a lot better than the system that just randomly throws in your USB drives with your SCSI/SAS/SATA/PATA drives. Or the systems that calls everything a SCSI drive when it usually isn’t a SCSI drive.
Floating Point Unit. The thing that does mathematical operations on floating point numbers. It used come separately from the CPU as an add-on chip, but around the 486 era, manufacturers started integrating it on the same die as the CPU. Of course, as these things go, from the system programmers point of view, there is still no difference between an add-on FPU and an integrated one.
The one pictured here is an add-on FPU for an Intel 80386 CPU.
As someone who is in tech… not sure, either.
About 20 years ago, Microsoft was found guilty and convicted, because they forced their browser on their users, driving out competitors by abusing their de facto monopoly on PC operating systems. These days, they are doing the exact same thing again, just on an even broader base. I don’t even understand how this verdict took so long.
But this is about companies, not products or brand names.
WhatsApp is not its own company, it belongs to Facebook/Meta.
Also, on that topic, you could do the same thing you did with X/Twitter to Meta/Facebook.
Smartctl works on nvme drives. Use it.
btop for bling
htop for practical utility
top for minimalism, availability, reliability
Also, almost all of that is written in C, which is a successor to B, which is a simplified version of the Basic Combined Programming Language. There was never an A.
Well, yeah, dividing something by 0.5 is the same thing as multiplying it by 2…
Top Left – More or less the default position, sensible enough, if a bit naive. Nothing wrong with this.
Top Right – Having knowledge is a good thing, and so is making decisions based on sound risk-benefit analysis.
Bottom Right – Well, at least it’s an informed decision. Just don’t try to pass off the risk on someone else if it backfires.
Bottom Left – Oooouuuuh, you don’t want to be in this quadrant, trust me…
I’m getting some serious loss of fps with this version in at least one game…
Rimworld for me.
(I have never tried Dwarf Fortress.)
Honorable mention goes to War Thunder, while it isn’t on of my favorites, I was still a bit blown away to find out it runs natively on Linux.
