Zajímavost - kapitola "EV je módní výstřelek": první elektroauto vyvinul Robert Anderson kolem roku 1832.

Nějakou ale dobu trvalo, než se různé modely dostali do provozu.

Nicméně už kolem 1900 elektroauta představovala cca třetinu všech aut v provozu v USA.

Důvodem oblíbenosti byl tichý provoz a absence zplodin. Dojezd až 100 mil. 1901 Ferdinand Porsche vytvořil první hybrid...

EV zabila levná texaská ropa.

the only credibility I can give the fud is that Qualcomm themselves had shown off these laptops with gaming prowess but compatibility / emulation proved later to be a bigger hit in real world scenarios. The article's points about enterprise use and longer battery life than gaming laptops is still valid, though, and how gaming is still not front-and-center in their marketing.

Funny story: a few years ago we found out that a now-thankfully-defunct medtech startup was using publicly shared google docs as backing store for doctor and patient data.

We found out about it when I discovered that they were marshalling all of that information on our etherpad instance, presumably because the API was easier.

We need privacy legislation with teeth, with serious consequences for companies and developers alike, and we need it ten years ago.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) announced progress this year to reduce customer burden by transitioning wet (physical) signature requirements to digital signatures for more than 30 forms as well as removing the signature requirements altogether for 13 forms. These actions simplify application processes, including removing a potential reason for claims to be sent back or denied.

This "perfect #tea strength chart" pops up from time to time, and I struggle with the #maths of it.

At first glance it appears to show how tea strength changes in two variables. One variable is labelled 1-6, the other A-F, but (here's my first problem) it is not specified what is being varied along each axis. One *could* be brew time; the other *could* be milk quantity, but I don't know for sure, and even if I'm right there's no way to tell which is which.

Further, it appears to me that mugs along the same 45⁰ diagonal running from bottom left to top right have exactly the same colour. This may indicate that (if my guess at the variables is correct) any colour change introduced by altering brew time can be offset by changing milk quantity (and vice-versa), but this feels dubious.

I'm more inclined to believe that there is actually only one variable at work here (if pushed, I would guess that it's the amount of milk), and that instead of 36 different strengths of tea there are actually only 11.

I think this 2D chart should really be a 1D spectrum, and that the conductors of the study have chosen an unnecessarily complicated visualisation which implies things that aren't true. It's almost as if this isn't the result of dedicated and rigorous academic practice.

A 6 by 6 square grid of mugs of tea, photographed from above. Rows are headed with the letters A - F, and columns are headed 1 - 6. The mug in A1 looks like it's mostly milk with little if any tea. The mug in F6 is black (well , very dark brown) tea with no milk. In between, the colour fades between the two, showing different strengths of tea. Mugs along 45 degree diagonals from bottom left to top right appear to share the same colour/strength.

En mi ciudad #ElPuertoDeSantaMaría, en 2024, el gobierno del Partido Popular ha nombrado un parque público en homenaje a un ex alcalde condenado por por prevaricación, cohecho, delitos contra la ordenación del territorio y blanqueo de capitales y con una inhabilitación por 17 años para ejercer cargos públicos. Casi nada. Una vergüenza para nuestra ciudad y sus ciudadanos.
Escribo sobre ello en el periódico Viva El Puerto.

@bagder My question from yesterdays twitch stream: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and its derivatives such as Oracle Linux, Rocky, and Alma are shipping curl 7.76.1 features in their most recent release (e.g., RHEL 9.4). I found this GitHub repository: github.com/stunnel/static-curl, which provides static curl binaries, making it easier for me to use the newer curl features on these distributions. Do you endorse the use of these static binaries, specifically from this GitHub repository?

Tři roky s nizozemštinou

xn--ondej-kcb.v.nizozemsku.nl/2024/09/05/Tri_roky_s_nizozemstinou.html

Do Nizozemska se lidé často stěhují proto, že je to jedna z mála zemí EU, kde se dá snadno domluvit anglicky. Při nejmenším ve velkých městech to určitě platí a ve svém okolí mám i pár kolegů, kteří se ani po víc než deseti letech pobytu jinak než anglicky…
