I wonder, is axial flux motor as cool sci-fi sounding in German as it is in english?

Ie. a political problem as the grandparent said. Corporations generally follow a narrow somewhat predictable pattern towards some local maxima of their own value extraction. Since world is not zero sum, it produces value for others too. Whe

Fair points and I accept the minus votes. I just feel a bit desperate at the monent. And I live in a place likely to be the best places to have civilization to survive. Trying a random thing to shake the discussion on some relatively influe

Do you have a reference for that? One thing that seems obvious, but hasn't been repeated enough IMHO is that injecting more energy (heat) into a chaotic system (climate), won't simply make the average energy (temperature) higher B

I can find Beej.us with DDG, but not daverupert.com. Maybe Beej got the problem resolved somehow.

I'd say anything beyond level 3 is likely already unsustainable for longer periods if you want to avoid stress related ilnesses. Depends on other factors of course.

IANAB, but large animal bodies correlate with large brain size. Huge animals like elephants and whales have much bigger brains than humans, but are not considered cognitively equivalent to humans. Maybe moving and maintaining a body require

And like in any game of minds, it goes into a guessing game: ”Are they thinking of X? They would never admit, but perhaps this and that can be interpreted as signal for X.” This is fine for some situations, like games, and can even be fun.

At least not every engineer. I love using older machines and any chance to make things work in a hardware friendly way. I have to say, I appreciate the insane expertise browser engine developers have in making JS and layouting run fast.

The way I read it, he is starting from the "cogs" premise (which may appeal to some people in some situations), and ends up defending rather humane sounding "local" principles. One possible tl;dr is: Objective analysis a

At the end of this comment there is what I believe is a single grapheme cluster. On disk this single "letter" occupies 73 bytes. Surprisingly large number of tools and editors know how to work with things like these and render the

This! Often (actually almost always) time it self is valuable for multiple reasons. Spending precious time in the "meeting room" instead of progressing towards (almost any) implementation can decrease the overall value and increas

Try customizing the fan curves to spin up at lower temps. Not much more noise over all if at all, but much more responsiveness.

Yes please! I feel "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" doesn’t capture it in a meaningful way. I think this is more of a mental and organizational phenomenon than one guy attacking a working machine with a spanner. A simpl

Yeah, I put the "anti democracy" in quotes bc I wasn't quite sure. I'm looking for a term for this sentiment. Any suggestions? I'm not sure libertarianism, conservativity or "right wing" hit the mark eithe

Some of this is valid concerns, but a strong vibe of ”anti democracy” in there too. Government is a direct extension of interests and will of the people (at least it should be.) In this vein the EU privacy regulations at least reflect an o

Can’t wait for the corporate security industry to get hold of this. Yet another way to make corporate policy compliant workstations slower and less usable than a 10 year old linux box.

As with any established industry there is going to be massive inertia in everything between the contractor supply chains and the executive gray matter. This is understandble as it makes the efficient and comfortable value extraction possibl

For a long lists of reasons; I don’t like DRMesque features like LHR and don’t like the crypto craze. (And to be clear, cyber-extortion is clearly a criminal activity.) BUT, I think the ”helping gamers” sounds a bit hollow.

Maybe add to the list some kind of long term campaign to have true multi party system (N > 2). Get rid of the first past the post etc. A separate green party is pretty universal in those. It is probably hard to prove, but it would make s

I have set up several macs to spin up the fans more aggressively. Subjectively this seems to help a lot. And the noise is not much worse, because eventually they spin at full blast anyway; just a bit too late when presumably thermal thrott
