Yes, I agree, but first you need to get planning and connection permission for those battery storage locations. I wouldn't hold my breath.

In absolutely no way is that true. The EU price varies by renewables production. When it's dark and still that's when electricity costs the most, and that's when Germany imports energy. It exports when there's sun and wi

It's a music player, and it's way too heavy for what it does. Well, it does a lot it doesn't need to, too. Uses 1.5GB of RAM on my laptop atm. Since I only have 16GB on my work laptop that's noticeable. I'd love it

Seems like a good time to recommend Apache Datafusion. It's designed to be a library, but works pretty well standalone as well. There's a CLI version, but also Python and Java bindings, as well as a Rust library, of course. From m

This practically means you can't ship any runtimes, standard libraries, nor any big libraries with your app. Your app has to be just the business code and all the extras has to be stuff already on the watch. Crucially, size requirement

An OS has massive network effects. You get Windows because you want to run software compiled for Windows. The OS itself is a necessary inconvenience.

I think all tertiary software job markets are like this. Full of bosses and coders who don't even know how bad their practices are.

I think PLCs are programmed using a mix of text and visuals. Or at least that's what I remember from uni. I'm not entirely sure why that is. I suppose it makes it a lot more obvious to your coworkers and management when you make s

I can totally see that. I imagine it's great for hiking and food. But if/when this company has an issue you'll have to move again or start working at the local Sparkasse or something.

These people are hiring in... Freiburg im Breisgau? Wonder how hiring is working out for them there.

Usually Justwatch should be able to tell you where something is available. However I will note that it's remarkably common for something slightly old to just not be available anywhere. You cannot watch Das Boot in my region on any serv

This critique has accumulated some issues over time. Modern approaches like GTAO are way less intense than before. They essentially only add shadows to crevices. A normal corner like this will barely look different. More importantly, techni

Is qwen 3.6 27b the best model you can run locally at the moment? Not that I have the VRAM for it, but just curious.

I don't necessarily share this view, but I've heard it enough times to steelman it: It's about dignity. I don't want to feel like someone owns me or can tell me what to do just because they lose some pocket change in my

I think that kind of breathless excited tone is justified by the subject matter. Unlike the usual LinkedIn posts this is actually about a pretty dire situation.

Do you think this could drive a shift towards more efficient web tech? I.e. more static websites, or websites served by faster software?

There are areas where the bureaucratic hurdles to changing anything and the incentives for changing anything work out to nothing ever changing. I assume in 20 years most of Berlin is still going to have 50mbit/s max. I hear residents o

Is this the first court system you ever hear about? Judges are never democratically elected.

I bet it's being organized by project rather than product. Conway's law ensures such an org will create code around projects, not products, and that always ends horribly.

Woah! AGPL? That's interesting. I think Postgres has shown an open source SQL server didn't need a copy-left license to develop sustainably, so I'm not entirely aure about that, but I do like the license in general.

This ought to do it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skynex . It is a real issue, though. Not because it's hard to protect any given target, but because protecting _all_ targets is more or less impossible. Let'

Microsoft is focused on AI and enterprise sales. I don't think they're institutionally capable of making a good end-user experience. You might just as well ask why SAP makes bad UIs - it's because the executives just don&#x27

Maneuverability and cost. Why this specific stunt? Marketing, presumably.

Maybe, but the budget for an interceptor drone is much much smaller. Unless it fails at its job an interceptor drone is only going to be used once.

(Health)care work is mostly shift work, and as society ages more and more people are going to be working in that sector. Also if you live in a tourist destination like a major city there's going to be lots of people with time off walki

Are we talking windows here? On Linux and Mac I believe you can install Podman via a package manager like anything else.

And it's my impression the code is often in assembly, which is even less structured.

If it has the "security" architecture of Linux (it's really more of a multi-tenant architecture) then that's a complete deal breaker. Wouldn't want it if it was 1000x faster/betterer than Android. Our desktop O

Everything I've ever heard about railway and train software suggests AI cannot possibly make things any worse than they already are. Conservatism causes no changes to be possible, which means many changes have to be made via workaround
