I have an EliteBook 845 G7 and also that one is top notch, minus the screen and driver bug on the WWAN modem. I whish HP did not include a keypad though on the bigger screen sizes since your hands are always towards the left instead of the

At work I am limited to using HP but I have to say that I have been very pleasantly surprised by the HP EliteBook 845 G7 (Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U). When I bought it new in 2020 it had initially sleeping problems but later kernels improved the sit

No AUR package yet it seems, but a PKGBUILD is already provided so I would assume it is not too much of hassle to take it for spin: https://docs.safing.io/portmaster/install/linux#arch-linux

There are modern alternative systems with an open firmware stack, for example the Talos II running Power9. Granted, it is not available as a cheap, slick and slim power efficient laptop, but it is real, only twice as expensive and very capa

Very cool :-) Regarding usability: I keep getting confused by the controls: indicating where you want to go vs which thruster to use. Back in yonder days I used to play Lunar Lander on Windows ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&

These generator+gearbox combo's operate at efficiencies (mechanical to electrical power) in the order of 80-90%. I would assume it will be quite challenging to do that with a 100m long mechanical transmission system handling 5-10MW. I

Exactly. Other concept studies have looked at driving mechanical pumps to feed hydraulic pressure into a network [1], or (at a very small scale) mechanically drive a desalination unit [2]. As mentioned in the article, the problem is not fig

In the server/workstation space you can also opt in for an expensive Raptor Talos II system (but you'll get Power instead of x86). There is very little competition in the space for open/libre high end computer hardware system

I agree with what others have mentioned here: I really like your elegant workflow (thanks for sharing!!). I also like that it is generally applicable to any collection of PDFs. However, to be fair, you can follow a somewhat similar workflow

Other features I use often are: * manage to-do-lists based on the page they occur, and/or their tags, deadlines and priority level. * table of contents for a larger one page note * auto git add/commit upon application start What I

I participated in the crowd funding phase (waiting for my router to arrive later this year), and they have just updated their IndieGogo project page: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/turris-omnia-hi-performan... sayi

Not exactly like the Pi's, and coming in with 5 Gig Ethernet ports is the Turris Omnia: https://omnia.turris.cz/en/ . It is intended to be a router, and not really a Pi clone though. However, it is (almost) complet

There's also LiquidFeedback [1] maintained by the Public Software Group of Berlin, difficult to judge how actively developed it is since they use their own Mercurial hosting [2]. It is a bit confusing, adhocracy is maintained by Liqui

Exactly, the paper also expresses hopes that people continue to study of human social interaction: >> Moving forward, experiments in artificial social contexts like ours appear to be a very powerful tool to examine strategic behavior

Ultimately, what this paper means to me is that there is evidence (based on simplified conditions, granted) that people collaborate better when they believe they will receive a fair share of the outcome. This makes a lot of sense to me, esp

Only discovered MUBI today via HN. Looks great! There is one annoyance (which I also have with Netflix): I live in Denmark, but I am not fluent in Danish. Not all your movies have English subtitles though, so how can I watch anything else e

The plan sounds hopelessly naive but it did bring Indiegogo down at the time of writing. I guess that is something :-) It does place things in perspective though. It will not solve all the problems, but we need to realize the resource we ha

In Belgium, you are allowed to do this. When I moved to Copenhagen I was seriously annoyed for the reasons you mentioned when I realized I had to first cross, wait and only then go on with my ride. However, I started realizing that the Cope

I guess this discussion is way off-topic at this point :-) But I find it interesting enough to keep it going. The real challenge is obviously to have this government funded publication company stay free of direct government interference. Th
