We have a hydroelectric dam near us with a salmon leap next to it. Good visitor attraction too. It'll provide power for decades with little maintenance and not much further in the way of environmental issues now that it's built.

The existence of that article surely suggests there is no censorship of the information about his unpopularity?

There's an excellent Changelog podcast interviewing him which talks about his early career as well.

Just a point to say leasehold is very rare in Scotland. I remember being told about this when I was looking at places near London and being surprised.

Think OP is taking about UK bills which are coupled too the cost of gas for historical reasons. Which needs to change in my view too.

Anyone have suggestions for which other browser is best for power saving? I’ve been using Edge on my Surface as it seemed much better on the battery than Chrome.

There are now d-locks that are angle grinder resistant. The reviews I've read suggest they need two cuts to open and each cut uses a full angle grinder disc. As ever, impossible to stop a determined thief, but starting to get "goo

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Lots of phones show how fast they are charging (charging slowly, fast etc)

Yes, have used a similar technique of putting the drive in the freezer. Didn't believe it would work, surprised when it did.

True, but it's up to the client to decide if they are willing to take on the risk.

I ski and board. In my opinion boarding was the really popular thing to start a while back. That meant all the newbies that didn't know slope etiquette were doing it. I think that's why it got the bad reputation. Skiing seems to b

The method to choose a static IP is pretty iffy too. "add 20 to your laptop's IP". I suppose all of this will work (and likely generate fewer support calls). I really hope the person that wrote this article wasn't involv

They released a patch in December that broke a few things. So stopped rolling it out. Meant to be a fix coming soon.

I'm not agreeing with either you or the OP but in answer to your question: Being able to watch reusable space rockets.

I'd argue that while they can't "do" their own testing, developers should be writing Unit tests that prevent their code from being broken in future. They should also be writing tests that exercise their code so they fin

I found Surface Detail and The Hydrogen Sonata an excellent return to form. Maybe give them a try if you haven't already.

I didn't like Inversions the first time I read it either but re-read all the Culture books, in order, after Banks died and enjoyed that. I think I was expecting it to be very Culture-y and was disappointed it wasn't. On a reread m

I would argue that Javascript is a hybrid of pass by reference because of the case below though. function someFunc(v) { v.myvar = 456; v = someOtherObject; } var foo = someObject; foo.myvar = 123; someFunc

I think two of the people who reacted in the UK carried Epi-pens. So, yes.

If you're willing to pay for it Delphix would do what you want. I've not used those features but their tech guys were describing that very scenario in a presentation I saw.

Not seen NetApp but from a quick Google it seems to be more intelligent database management. Delphix is more using the power of ZFS and Copy On Write to give you instant database copies with minimal storage footprint. We used it to give eve
