China has a significant investment in solar and wind power - is that just to convince us it's a good idea to buy it?

Barely related tangent - but the speed of how quickly this site populated the full list of all these UUIDs (it's likely static) made me remember this site https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html

I had an identical experience: in my area all of the comments were disparaging ethnic groups and having lived here my entire life the specific groups targeted were not even accurate. To me it feels like a place to vent about an "other&

Thanks - I actually used cactus and llama years ago when I got interested in playing diablo 2 again and it was really cool to try out the older versions of the game and to play around with the larger stash. Curious - I remember thinking abo

I agree that clicking on what appears to be a placeholder but instead acts as a label should at the very least focus the input box so you're prompted to type in it. However the UI overall is pretty simple and clean.

Yeah if you give it the dimensions of a standard gaylord (48x40) it tries to stack the boxes in a really strange way with smaller boxes occupying the space below larger boxes and causing some boxes to float. I wonder if additional metadata

Good to hear. I was in the ER in March 2020 initially because I thought I was having a heart attack but ultimately with what I assume was COVID. It's been a journey but I am doing much better now too. For about 2 years I had bad pal

Good point, I am not sure they can compete with the smaller arm development boards in that regard!

by IE6 3y ago
I agree with you about dev boards but I think their post was focused on things like used NUCs or other small x86 machines that are only marginally larger than a Pi in an enclosure and include literally everything you'd want (enclosure,

You could make the argument that this is more of a GNU + Linux than an operating system unto itself.

I'm still missing it. If we were talking about alcohol consumption "slow down and think about it" absolutely makes sense: I might be having fun in my 20s binge drinking but there are very real negative consequences of that be

Honest question - I know exactly where the "mask in the car" trope came from and why you're repeating it here but: why does it matter and why is it germane to this topic?

weirdly I interpreted "long life" as a continually running program vs something that had a very clear input, short lived execution, and a clearly defined output.

To each their own, but I do not. Lenovo remains my "goto" if I have to buy a laptop (though Framework has more or less replaced them) and the main reason for that was the Trackpoint and mouse buttons.

It's not for everyone but I transitioned to ChromeOS for this exact reason. You still have a debian environment you can work in (run CLI, GUI apps) but the base desktop environment is ChromeOS which "just works" as they say.

Any chromebook that supports crostini will allow you to run linux (debian by default) and allow you to use many dev tools. I build node stuff all the time on chromeos. I have a Framework Chromebook.
