Ahh -- the more bugs reported and fixed the better it gets..
Anyway - the anti systemd folks are rather wrong.
I used systemV for servers and desktops for years - didn't really lookforward to the change - but even in my 60''s it only took a day to adjust.
I now support a few servers and several desktops all running systemd and just haven't had any problems. My hunch is some people get used to their first txt editor and will never want to change - same with an init system.. They must be older than me and set in their ways.
1 - A lot of the hardware documentation that was open 5 years ago has disappered. 2 - If they came out with such a device - you can count on a trip ti FISA court.
Take the Ubuntu phone - it is not really Linux - it is an Android kernel with binary blobs that are there for our protection...
'They' put an end to this about 5 years ago - read about core boot...
It is not really a linux phone - it uses an android kernel with ubuntu stuff on top. No one really knows whats in the binary blobs. Real Linux is considered open software - this is not.
I've programmed in more languages than I want to count. In the end it is all code and what matters is the market.
Code I like:
Machine code (ARM core is interesting) Pascal Python
But what I like isn't important - it is what will provide work.
A better question is to ask yourself what the return on investment is on learning a new language? I thought a lot of the stuff I learned would make me more valuable than it did - most of it is obsolete now or pays very poorly.
The other thing to consider is with a lot of code work going overseas would it be better to look at stuff that can't leave?
Seaweed grows faster with more CO2 - just one of those facts that interferes with the dominate narrative.
That being said - Instead, they should feed seaweed to chickens instead of corn - chicken meat is super high in LA(the most common O-6) - I think LA is the likely cause of the obesity pandemic and the great increase in depression after the 1960's when it was introduced on the market. Concentrated veg oils are obviously not human food.
The increase in CO2 has slowed - in part due to the great increase of plant mass:
And it seems the folks here forget that 'renewable capacity' has nothing to do to what they actually end up generating.. Sort of like 'instantaneous peak output power' they used to hype in stereo equipment.
And of course power can be stored - the question is at what cost - if the cost is magnitudes higher than the cost of generation, I'm not going to do it.
Battery power is expensive power - REALLY expensive power.
The renewable industry is all about controlling people by selling a false narrative.
The cost of renewables never seems to include the cost of the back up power plant cost for nights when the wind does not blow...
This is a good example of a bed of Procrustes... by the Intellectual-yet-idiot class...
They have also been protecting the vegetable oil industry - concentrated vegetable oils are not human food. Around 1960 they started selling veg oils to replace lard - it was also around that time that Americans started getting fat. We now know that eating PUFAs messes with the insulin system ( main source is LA linoleic acid ).
It will be 10 years or more before the public becomes aware - people warned about sugar in the 1960's were ignored. only 50 years later is it common knowledge.
The usual mantra is that PUFAs are good for you as they reduce cholesterol levels - but if we look at all cause mortality - this falls apart. PUFAs reduce cholesterol by making people ever fatter.
Also - from the abstract :...Moreover, our results showed that a vegetarian diet is associated with poorer health (higher incidences of cancer, allergies, and mental health disorders), a higher need for health care, and poorer quality of life. Therefore, public health programs are needed in order to reduce the health risk due to nutritional factors.
I was around when they set up Google. I don't hate Google - but I know what it is.
Yes - on paper it is a 'private company' - but who do they answer to? Where did they get their initial search algorithms from (leapfrogging the established competition by magnitudes) ? Where did the principals that set it up work for just before? Exactly where did the money come from to set up Google?
There are other 'private companies' run by three letter agencies as well. Some with a single customer. The public is amazingly gullible.
In the Linux world, one can use ksnapshot to grab anything - including graphical text - intended to copy protected - and automatically send it to OCR - and have the text ready to copy and paste..
Without OCR the feature is pretty worthless..
There is no need for firefox to do any of this.. perhaps they should concentrate on providing a way to pause scripts on a tab basis when not viewed? Or better ways to identify tabs that are slowing things down?
I didn't mention anything about $100 - but you have the idea.-- 3 magnitudes cheaper - and similar to using an ICE -- and of course the electricity, distribution, conversion are not really free.. but 3 magnitudes makes it not important. So yes - battery power is REALLY expensive power - magnitudes more than the power-line. or ICE..
Of course there is a second problem. As batteries wear out - they are typically used until they have 60% of their capacity - Thus the claims are always for a new battery - which isn't the reality.
There is really nothing on the horizon (other than 'new and improved' lemon scented' BS ) that is going to change this. The battery cars are really a status symbol that minimum wage workers are forced to pay taxes to subsidize even though they can't possibly afford them. The bipartisan socialists that run this country apparently like forcing the poor to subsidize the clueless wealthy elites status symbol hobbies..
As someone that has worked in the battery industry my whole life -- no - it is just the usual corporate welfare. The improvements are very small 1% and expensive.
Lithium was a big deal - moving from 2 electrons to 3 - the other stuff is not really important - mostly noise - venture vulture stuff to get investors money.
What is always missing is the real cost of battery power. A battery has a cycle life - take that number times the capacity of the battery and you get the total amount of power the batter will deliver. With that you can get a cost per kWh.. assuming the electricity to charge is free (it is not) - it is still very very expensive power.
Now - in a electric hand drill - I am quite willing to pay the high price for that power - but not for running air-conditioners or powering a car.
I live in the US - no capitalism here. We have 'cartel socialism' where politically connected companies write the laws to eliminate their competition - only companies approved by the pols can grow.. Socialism created the 1%.
(41% of GDP in the USA is now government spending - compared to Russia at 35% or China in the 20% range )

Yes it is stupid - unless the real goal is to get in on the flow of government money.
Recycled failed ideas are the norm of our time..

http://www.nature.com/articles...
"Over the past 50 years, the amount of CO2 absorbed by the oceans and terrestrial biosphere annually has more than doubled"
Not sure how this can be happening - as everyone says the science is settled...
So what happens if it doubles again over the next 50 years?
"Phil Schiller Says the MacBook Pro Doesn't Need an SD Card Slot"
A better way to say this:
SD Card users don't need a MacBook Pro
You seem confused - I've never promoted coal.
My point is that wind replacing other power is a false narrative - solar is also a false narrative for now (until the installed cost is $.025/kWh..)
Battery storage is also a false narrative. ( Misses by magnitudes )
The fact that people die in coal mines doesn't make false narratives true.
There is a measure of the cost in kWh/life-lost - Solar and wind are not at the top.
I don't think it is that hard a concept to understand that you need a source of power generation for nights when the wind doesn't blow...
Did you intend to provide an example of a bed of Procrustes?

This is a good move by AT&Fee - makes it easier to bribe the correct political elite to keep smaller companies from competing.
Easier than providing better service if people have less options.
It is sugar + PUFAs
They have also been protecting the vegetable oil industry - concentrated vegetable oils are not human food. Around 1960 they started selling veg oils to replace lard - it was also around that time that Americans started getting fat.

There is good evidence that vegans have higher rates of mental illness - the question is if it is a cause or an effect?

We just need to add another 14 dimensions..
Ok - how about doing some real world experiments ..
Too much BS already this week...
Once again we are reminded that the G in Google stands for Government.
If you had been paying attention, you would realize they are not really a private company.
Sounds like we will have to back track?
Not sure how this plays out?
There are ways to encrypt.

The term battery power is not referring to energy but a mode powering things.
As someone that has worked in the battery industry my whole life -- no - it is just the usual corporate welfare. The improvements are very small 1% and expensive.

There is something interesting, but the hyerbole makes the story mostly false.
