One of those tiny low power PCs with OpenSense is a good alternative, but a bit more work. The only downside is that you need a separate switch and wifi access point.

Meanwhile in Europe, trucks have a flat front so drivers have great visibility.

And also, you can sort of brute force things to look good it with shaders.

Same boat… But I had some success with low poly 3D models which I found are pretty easy to make. Learning a bit about color theory, how to match colors, as well as learning a bit about level design goes a long way. You can make a great looking game this way.

But my dream game is 2D pixel art, and I really suck at it.

Easiest? More like… The only way.

That would destroy the entire grid and a lot of equipment. It’s why texas had rolling blackouts a few winters ago, it’s a fine balance between supply and demand to maintain stable voltage and frequency. Failure to do so can result in a LOT of damage. If you don’t have enough supply, you have to reduce demand.

Can be solved by putting a certain quality requirement for putting water into the pipes. Suppliers can compete on price.

It’s not realistic to have multiple pipe systems covering the same area. Digging pipes is very expensive. Digging multiple networks of pipes is insane. This solution is the best compromise to have multiple suppliers serve in the same area.

Quite simple actually. The supplier knows how much water it puts in the pipes, and consumers have meters that measure how much water they take out of the pipes.

Water is water… It doesn’t matter if you’re not getting the exact same water molecules put in by your supplier.

Think of it like this… You have a jug of water. The supplier puts in a glass of water, and you (the consumer) take out one glass of water. The quantity of water in the jug stays the same, but you pay the supplier for how much water you took out.

It works the same way with electricity.

Skill issue of the developer to fix it or skill issue of the submitter?

You can’t use traditional sails on a ship of that size and mass, they wouldn’t make much difference and would need a large crew to operate.

If you want to apply the concept to modern ships, you need to design stronger sails (e.g. made of metal), you need to make it easy to operate with a small crew and you need to also design them in a way that doesn’t interfere with cranes in ports.

It’s not as easy as just slapping sails and calling it a day.

What I find insane is that scientists actually do firmware upgrades to rovers like Curiosity. Imagine the stakes of doing firmware upgrades on a device on another planet that you can’t communicate with in real time.

Did you even read my post? I said that you need plates to drive, but you don’t need plates if you are parked (or on private property). If a car is parked, you have plenty of time to read the VIN. Driving on public roads without plates is illegal and you risk jail time.

You can’t hard link across docker volumes. In the second example, you need to remove the /media/movies and /media/downloads volumes, only keep /media.

After fixing this, only future downloads will be hard links. Use a deduplication tool like jdupes to create hard links for the already downloaded files.

I highly doubt cameras would be able to recognize this as a valid plate.

Where I live, you only need valid plates to drive on public roads. If the car is parked or you drive on private property, there’s no problem. The procedure for getting plates requires you to not have plates for like 2 or 3 days.

Cars can still be identified by the VIN which is on the windshield.

An external audio interface or DAC will be 100x better. That audio card won’t be any better than the on-board audio.

They make decent laptops. I had Elitebooks, ZBooks and an Omen, excellent machines. I liked them more than Dell or lenovo.

Also, the west gets to get rid of the old weapons that would otherwise have to be destroyed, while also burning through Russia’s materiel.

You can say that about pretty much any nation on earth. We humans have been migrating for as long as we’ve existed.

But after how long does one become ‘native’? Most ties to the original country pretty much disappear after 2-3 generations.

The post argues how jews occupied the land and are treating Palestinians poorly and the proposed solution is to ‘make every country safe for jews’ and ‘stop creating an ethnostate’. The past is past, you can’t undo all the things that already happened. The “ethnostate” already exists. Other countries stopping from being antisemitic won’t solve anything now. So what I understand is being proposed, between the lines, is for other countries to stop being antisemitic, so the Israelis can go to those other countries instead of their own and give the land back.
