Note that I think the BYD quote of 29 or 30k euros is including VAT [1] which is 21% in the Netherlands. On the other hand the quote given above as the starting price in the US for the Mach-E not include sales tax. In the Netherlands (tryi

Awesome, confirmed the link now works. On my (linux) machine I do see an issue with the jar after startup, I will submit a bug on your github page. I think this project would be a great environment for getting my kids into coding, thanks f

The link to that jar is coming from this page https://reportmill.com/SnapCode/download.html . Was just trying to download the jar to try it outside of the browser. The online version is working well in my testing.

Thanks for the comment -- added some CSS to help with that.

My laptop is a Dell Precision M4800 -- not the newest but is perfectly fast enough for what I need to do. I run KDE under X usually. Tried wayland for the first time recently and there was huge input lag with moving the mouse. I found it

I like KDE 5 very much, personally, and am a user of the KDE Neon distro. If you've looked again at KDE recently, what are your primary paint points?

I apologize for not making it clear that I intended this to be a parody illustrating the absurdity of a certain POV when carried to its logical extreme (most POVs are incorrect when carried to an extreme). After further thought, I should ha

I meant this comic to be a somewhat tongue-in-cheek parody of positions I have seen people take, which I intended the ellipses to hint at. Clearly there are some genetic differences between populations.

Race does not exist... therefore there won't be a genetic difference in average outcomes between different people groups. It is useful to think of variation from person-to-person but it is impossible to make comparisons between ethnic

I feel that Windows 10 has an improved file explorer and file copying dialogs over Windows 7. In every other way I feel that I still prefer Windows 7 -- system stability, lack of apparent bugs, much more coherent settings functionality, la

Just a note: turblety's comment does not make any allegations to the effect that you can't /run/ compiled lazarus apps on macs, just that it seems hard to set up a lazarus dev environment on that platform.

So? You did not address the argument or the information presented, but rather went straight to attacking the messenger. Seems to me that the central thesis that renewables are increasing electricity costs even as main-stream journalists r

I personally think that might depend on what you mean by "slow". Tcl/Tk programs can be very light and memory-efficient -- you can pack a lot of features into a program that only takes 10 megabytes or less at runtime and tha

I don't get the joke. The truth is probably that genetics do play a role (perhaps small though) in intelligence, as it does with other measures like height or bone marrow donor compatibility.

I think its a joke, or it should be. Income of $200k puts you above 97.3% of Americans according to https://dqydj.com/income-percentile-calculator/ .

As with most things that can be measured, it depends on your POV and agenda. In 2017 dollars Regan increased the debt by ~ 4.15 trillion, while Obama increased the debt by ~ 8.88 trillion (using the numbers found at your link (which is just

Your post does not address Raymond's arguments, but instead primarily just attacks the messenger as supposedly not being qualified to comment on language trends. While it may be true that ESR is not a superstar programmer in the image

Note that it appears that a large number of the segfaults which Michael (phoronix) is reporting may be coming from a software issue. In particular, people on the phoronix forums are reporting that conftest segfaults are a known software is
