There was a scooter sharing company that drove around, swapping the batteries. It went out of business and now there are only the Bird style scooters.

If there were battery swapping stations, I’d definitely by me a bike.

My money is on MusX

That is the case in Belgium.

It is not enforced tho. If you didn’t register as a donor, they will still ask the relatives, especially of they need to keep the body on life support after the person is declared dead.

Cause selling new games is more profitable.

If a new games costs €60 and older games €5 or less (which would be a lot less on streaming services), they’d have to sell at least 12 old games for every new game they sell less cause of this change. And if gamers spend more time on older games, it’s highly possible that they’d buy, even just a single game, less.

It’s the same with movies or TV. They would only loose money if they make the whole archive available as there is just so much of it that some of the new things could become irrelevant.

Not that I’m against archiving, but it is caused by the creative sector having to have to make money, which isn’t easy for smaller players, and greed.

I start writing the implementation and get the “variable not defined” error and then let the ide add the declaration. It’s less keys to press and misspell.

labsin ,

It’s working great. I only can’t get multi language and the emoji dictionary to work. The help page says I need to change the spell checker in the android settings but I can’t find that option 🤔

It might have cracks in the silicon crystal that might burn in over time.

But yeah, impressive that it could take this big of hail balls without braking the glass.

labsin ,

It’s not really emulation. It’s running on the same architecture and most of the windows libraries can be used as is with mostly only the win32 library that needs to be wrapped. That already existed for years as wine. It’s mostly graphics and peripherals that are broken.

The most important thing proton added to improve gaming was a DirectX translation layer that translates to Vulcan and also loads of fixes and additions to wine.

Not a lot of games run faster but apparently in some situations, the Vulcan precompiled shaders seem to run better than native windows, although that probably means they could make their native version better as well. For older games, the Vulcan translation layer is a lot more efficient and faster than native. Also CPU and IO heavy games might run faster on the Linux kernel.

Maybe it could also have been the first officer if he prepared really well? There seems to be a lot of evidence confirming a well planned route with all communication disabled.

Anyway, it clearly looks like it is a suicide that he tried to mask as an accident. It’s the worst way to go, taking all these casualties. It wouldn’t be the first one, but definitely the best covered up so far.

labsin ,

About D, you could also be programming robots, PLC’s or thermostats 🤷‍♂️

labsin ,

Small PHEV’s would be ideal for the current generation. Battery advances will come, but we should always try to optimize with the current technology and 10 cars with a 10th the battery of a Tesla would be better for the future.

A PowerPoint, word document or even a text file or picture. There is only a description in the file of what it holds and it’s up to the program that reads it, how it will visualize or interpret it.

A word document or PDF would be the closest.

labsin ,

A word document can also contain a script, as can html pages. It’s why I thought these two were the closest match. Nobody is going to call those programming languages.

labsin ,

No, the html file itself. It just contains elements like a paragraph, image, list, table,… just like a word document.

Even WWF doesn’t think avoiding palm oil is a good solution. Not short term and definitely not long term

wwf.panda.org/discover/our_focus/…/palm_oil/

Palm is the most efficient crop for producing a wide range of fats. Replacing it with some other source of fat will require more land and water, and disrupt nature in another part of the world.

labsin ,

I think it’s fair to say those brands will source from the cheapest, scummiest places and it doesn’t matter what “certificate” sticker is on the box.

But it is so hard to avoid them where I live :/ Even the fairtrade, vegan and responsible green washed products are from those 3…

labsin ,

IMO they should just remove the equality operator on floats.

If they need permission for third party cookies and those are now no longer possible, the popups can go already.

And if a site doesn’t want to serve people that do not accept data hoarding, an account with terms and conditions is the only logical way to go.

Belgium forced facebook to not track users without an account and they reacted by doing this exact thing (requiring an account to even read pages). It made it a lot easier for me to not having to deal with Facebook at all. If some store or organization only had the info on Facebook, I’ll just tell them I can’t access it 🤷‍♂️

labsin ,

They also couldn’t call it “.Net Core 4” so they called it “.Net 5”

Will they keep skipping numbers or start thinking about not naming everything the same.

labsin ,

I use it to open the spell checker options while I’m typing. It’s annoying to have to switch from keyboard to mouse. My current laptop doesn’t have the key and I even added another short key.

The super key, again, is useful so you don’t have to switch between keyboard and mouse when searching for an app. It is also the modifier for all GUI shortcuts.

labsin ,

Especially when you start typing something and it already started searching with your partial input and you your further and notice the thing your search for is first so you press enter, for it to now place another thing first with the extra input 😡

Depends on the grid. If the lines and transformers are already used close to their limit, more smaller buffer batteries and smaller solar installations, closer to the user, could be more efficient and not require grid adjustments. The closet to the user, the less grid adjustments are needed.

Industrial roof solar should be standard in any new building by now. Companies need the power in the day and it can be used without even needing to use the grid.

labsin ,

Coal power plant efficiency is less than 40%. You’d also not get 90% of the outlet on the wheels. There is also a lot of loss on the grid, but there is also on the production of fuel. The two pollute almost the same.

Burning coal however is a lot worse for the air quality.

labsin , (edited )

A Prius will definitely pollute less than the typical SUV electric cars on a coal grid.

Cause:

  • Efficiency of coal power plant and all losses are as bad as ICE cars. The EVs do thermal->mechanical->electrical->grid->battery->wheels and if you count them all up, is not better than an EV
  • Prius is designed for low drag unlike an SUV
  • Prius had regenerative braking like an EV

But just the numbers:

  • Prius is rated at 94g/kg
  • Coal 950g/kwh
  • Volvo c40 0.2kwh/km or 190g/km even without losses

I took Volvo cause they published a report with a good compare ev and ICE volvocars.com/…/volvo-c40-recharge-lca-report.pdf

Even with the current EU energy mix, it takes 77’000 km to be better than ICE, so arguably better. On coal electricity, they are worse. And this is comparing equally sized cars, a Prius will do better.

labsin ,

I put very minimal calculation which at least puts it around the same order and linked a report by Volvo where they try to count the whole cycle of a car with the emissions of the production and transport of used parts and fuels.

On current electricity mix, an electric car is only slightly better on a CO2 emissions. With only renewables, it can be 2x better.

But the statement that in China it’s at least better than a Prius is just wrong. Until renewables take a serious share of the grid, a smaller well engineered hybrid is not worse.

labsin ,

That is true. I do think we should retire pure ICE cars as soon as possible. If you need to do long distances, a hybrid that could be converted might be a good intermediate solution. If you only need a car sporadically, a car sharing platform with electric cars is a good solution. These already exist in big eu cities. Ofc good and adorable public transport is nr 1.

Decreasing the amount of cars would decrease emissions short and long term more than the current shift to EV and would make shifting easier as there are just fewer to replace.

labsin ,

There is also something like this:

It does make a mess but my cat used to like these so I bought a new one every few months.

I'm locked out of my 6 year old Chipotle account because they now say my email address is invalid when I login. Here is me asking for their help: (lemmy.world)

I also reached out to them on Twitter but they directed me to this form. I followed up with them on Twitter with what happened in this screenshot but they are now ignoring me.

labsin , (edited )

It’s that capitalization is language dependent, which email addresses shouldn’t be as I hope the rules for France shouldn’t be different than for Dutch. For instance é in Dutch is capitalized as E, but in French it is É. The eszett didn’t even have an official capital before 2017

In most programming languages, case-insensitive string compare without specifying the culture became deprecated. It should imo only be used for fuzzy searching doubles, which you probably will do with ToUpper for performance reasons, or maybe some UI validation.

This issue was detected when running Firefox on Linux on Apple silicon. Firefox on Mac just identifies as x64.

It’s probably not on purpose by YouTube. It’s stupid they put restrictions on some heuristics to begin with but maybe because otherwise people would think YouTube is not loading properly while it’s the software decoding on the not capable arm PC that can’t handle the resolution.

labsin ,

Belgium. You are not allowed to sell any item at a loss. Fire example Ikea had to increase the prices of its restaurant and a supermarket that did a 3 for 1 promo got in trouble.

labsin , (edited )

Lol haters. Can’t really blame ppl for saying fanboy if talk like that.

You post a hateful quote and ppl nuance it. Doesn’t seem that bad.

labsin ,

If the train drives slow enough that is takes 3s between when your head gets through and your feed are trough, it also needs to take 3s on the other side or you are ripped to pieces or squashed.

Now if it takes 0.1s, you also have to come out in this time and will have a velocity, the same as the train.

labsin ,

Yes, if the speed you go in wouldn’t the speed you go out, you’d be ripped apart.

In portal (the whole point of this joke), it happens instantly an works like walking through a door. If your hand is through, it’s at the other side and the rest of your body isn’t.

If you would travel at the same direction and speed of the train, you could step through and be stationary at the other side. If you stand still and the train travels to you, the only “logical” answer is that you fly out the other side or be ripped apart.

labsin ,

I dislike a lot of the shock advertising they do, but most of what you point out is anecdotal and mostly spread as a laster campaign, because they actually do have an impact on animal welfare and that’s not in the best interest of the ppl behind these laster campaigns.

About the shelters, what should happen with all the excess pets that are bought and then dumped? At least peta tries to take down bad kennels and does something about the stray population. It’s all nice having a no-kill shelter, but these either don’t take all pets or get to big that it’s just unhygienic and sad. If the shelter refuse any ill or old pet they can’t place, these pets either end up on the street or in a shelter that takes any pet and does euthanize.

Peta also gets called for stray pets in terrible condition or that are aggressive that probably always have to be put down.

Their kill rate will probably be quite high, but I have no idea who made up the 80% and what would be included in that number.

The Blender market is kinda revolutionary and noone really talks about it

All code on the blendermarket is GPL. Yet, it sold over 25 million dollars worth of software. No DRM on the assets, all free software. Free as in freedom, not as in beer. In spite of that, I have not seen once anyone in the blender community complain about piracy, let alone have I seen anyone distribute any software or assets...

labsin ,

I think they are free to charge some users more for a copy. But as it’s GPL, any person is allowed to make a copy and share that with a studio. But would it be worth it as it’s more trouble for accounting?
