Sigmatics,

Let’s be honest here, at least like 98% of the popular OSS is on GitHub at this point. You don’t have to like it, but it’s how things are

Apple Argued Safari Is Three Different Browsers to Avoid Regulation in EU (www.macrumors.com)

It has now emerged that after being informed that Safari was likely to fall under the DMA’s regulations, Apple filed formal a response to the European Union claiming that Safari is, in fact, “three distinct web browsers.” The company’s claim is based on the argument that Safari for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS are entirely...

Sigmatics,

" Same Safari. Different device "

Sigmatics,

On an annual basis, the roughly 8.1 gigawatts (GW) of nuclear capacity closed this year has been more than offset by increases in generation capacity from solar and wind sites, data from think tank Ember shows.

Sigmatics,

We’re headed for a warmer climate in Europe, that’s for sure. So time will help us

Sigmatics,

Winters will be warmer on average, meaning less heating needed. Unless the gulf stream collapsed, which would change everything in Europe

Sigmatics,

Wow that actually sounds really helpful. Didn’t know you could do that. As always, best content in the comments

Sigmatics,

Honestly right now we’re basically trusting a bunch of American companies to do the same job. What’s different about this

Sigmatics,

TIL I’m almost the same age as EU

Sigmatics,

I always thought midlife crisis was in the 40s

Sigmatics,

TL;DR Earth ate Theia and is having stomach pains

Sigmatics,

Very high effort reddit screenshot repost

Sigmatics,

So all the people holding it back on Instagram didn’t help after all

Sigmatics,

gewoked, könnte man heutzutage meinen

Wer ““falsch”” aka. ineffizient Rad fährt ist schneller aus der Puste, aber macht sich nicht die Gelenke kaputt.

Das stimmt so nicht, falsche Satellhöhe kann durchaus zu Problemen führen. Wenn auch nicht so schlimm wie beim Laufen weil nicht das ganze Körpergewicht auf dem Gelenk lastet

France and Germany increasingly drift apart on digital sovereignty of cloud sector (www.euractiv.com)

"What worries me the most is that the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has endorsed the AWS European Sovereign Cloud,” French centrist MP Philippe Latombe says, explaining he fears that “the Germans start exerting pressure” against France’s highest cloud security certification, called SecNumCloud....

Sigmatics,

But why couldn’t a large European company over hyperscalers? It’s not rocket science

Sigmatics,

Good, don’t bother

What are some of the best optimizations you applied to your code?

Got myself a few months ago into the optimization rabbit hole as I had a slow quant finance library to take care of, and for now my most successful optimizations are using local memory allocators (see my C++ post, I also played with mimalloc which helped but custom local memory allocators are even better) and rethinking class...

Sigmatics,

I don’t want to know how many rushed games so stuff like this

Sigmatics,

Sigmatics,

Feels like Russia is in that boat right now

Iceland hit with more than 5,500 small earthquakes in the last three days (www.reuters.com)

“These earthquakes are a warning sign, a part of a longer-term story that we know we’re entering a build-up phase to the next (volcanic) eruption,” IMO Service and Research division head Matthew Roberts says, adding that from my perspective as a scientist and someone who’s been following this activity very closely, “I...

Sigmatics,

Most of Southern Italy is living on huge Volcanos

Sigmatics,

One day we might seem something more than a painting and a piece of paper from BO

Sigmatics,

There’s nothing ferociter about suborbital hops

Do they even have a plan for an orbital test flight?

In the end they will have to launch their lander on Starship

Sigmatics,

I mean nice, but anyone with half a brain will take a look at the code and decide for their own if they’re a decent coder

Also there’s star graphs over time that show the growth of a project

Sigmatics,

Yeah, me neither

Sigmatics,

I’m saying the south would need at least 5x (you can fight me on the exact number) the turbines of the North to get to 100%.

This is due to

  • higher energy consumption due to energy intensive industry
  • lower wind turbine output due to less wind

Therefore it’s not worth it to build a ton of turbines in the south. Sure, we could have more in those locations where it’s worth it (dark spots on the map).

I grew up in a village near the Alps, one of the few with it’s own citizen-financed wind turbine. My parents invested. They’re lucky to get their money back because the return is so bad. Once the state money ran out it barely paid for itself

Sigmatics,

That’s the popular opinion, but the reality is also that Wind Turbines are a no brainer in the North, and in the south it’s often barely worth it

Sigmatics,

Your TLDR didn’t quite catch me there. I don’t think we’re disagreeing actually. I know all about that first point of yours and I’m entirely with you - the red tape is stupid and should go away. Wherever turbines are worth it they should happen

My example was probably one of the outliers, and surely also due to poor management in part. But the point is, in the long term these turbines need to work without subsidies - and that’s much more likely in the North (or some elevated locations in Bavaria that are not protected)

Sigmatics,

So, what happened? Biden called?

Sigmatics,

Wohl kaum wenn du erwischt wirst

Sigmatics,

Mmh ja bisschen naiv. Wiederholtes Schwarzfahren ist eine Straftat und wird entsprechend verfolgt. Wenn du eine Anzeige am Hals haben willst kannst es aber gerne so machen

Sigmatics,

I wish it had feature parity with pylint already. I know they’re working on it, but it’s not quite there

They have lots of awesome extra features though like built in pyupgrade, formatting etc

Imo once they get into stable territory it will be the one stop shop for Python linting

Sigmatics,

You are most certainly correct

“What every developer needs to know about X” is just the best way to get clicks these days

"Warming is about to end. And the cause is not humans, but the interplay between the Sun and Earth:" Climate skeptics muddy Russians' understanding of warming planet (www.themoscowtimes.com)

Though Russia is warming 2.5 times as fast as the rest of the planet, some of its scientists, RAS members and public figures regularly voice denials of climate science, sowing confusion among the populace....

Sigmatics,

It doesn’t matter how good of a scientist you are if you can’t speak your mind freely

Sigmatics,

Goodbye

Sigmatics,

The security of HTTPs relies on public key certificates.

I recommend reading up on it here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTPS#Overview

Especially the part after this segment:

Web browsers know how to trust HTTPS websites based on certificate authorities that come pre-installed in their software.

Sigmatics,

It’s called a programming language for a reason

As a professional software engineer, the number of times I actually have to use math skills is pretty low

Even when I worked on a statistical application for lifetime prediction, most of the work wasn’t figuring out the correct math

What’s leagues more important here is conceptual thinking and being able to model complex human-made constructs in your head

Sigmatics,

Windows 12: Gerüchte und Intel deuten auf Veröffentlichung 2024 hin (www.heise.de)

“Wir sind der Meinung, dass 2024 ein ziemlich gutes Jahr für Client sein wird, vor allem wegen des Windows-Refreshs. Und wir sind immer noch der Meinung, dass die installierte Basis ziemlich alt ist und eine Auffrischung benötigt, und wir denken, dass das nächste Jahr angesichts des Windows-Katalysators der Beginn davon...

Sigmatics,

aber uns ist das egal, weil wir seit 20 Jahren eigentlich nur die Startleiste und Systemeinstellungen sinnlos verändern

Das ist jetzt aber gemein, sie haben auch regelmäßig die Hardwareanforderungen erhöht

Sigmatics, (edited )

Ich finde 25% für ein recht neues OS jetzt nicht so schlecht, besser als Windows 8 oder Vista zu dem Zeitpunkt

Allerdings haben sie sich mit den Hardwareanforderungen auch selbst ins Bein geschossen und akzeptiert, dass quasi nur neu ausgelieferte PCs Win11 nutzen (v.A. weil ein Upgrade kaum lohnt)

Sieht man hier eigentlich recht schön: gs.statcounter.com/…/worldwide

Sigmatics,

Just stop playing the game for a while and it’ll feel less like a chore:)

Sigmatics,

Yeah, the rifting gets very repetitive. But nobody says you have to grind all the mats before it’s even out.

They might even introduce better/different sources or lower requirements later on, so don’t fret over it now

Sigmatics,

So you didn’t ship it?

Sigmatics,

Could it be used as the basis for more advanced information exchange among those companies?

Sigmatics,

Sounds like current working practice in the games industry

Sigmatics,

God forbid you actually help out with the software you’re using at absolutely no cost to you.

Sigmatics,

The main advantage being more concise syntax?

Sigmatics,

If you’re actually developing FOSS with it, you can use their products for free.

JetBrains has a lot of good will in the community, and for good reason.

Would it be nicer if their IDEs were FOSS? Probably. Would it hurt their profits? Most likely.
