You should tell that to Linus Torvalds, he’s developing the Linux kernel without using GitHub at all. I’m sure he will appreciate being told git is insuffient to develop a good product and write good code, the best practice is to use a Microsoft service in a particular way and nothing else can work.

Tell me, when I work on a project alone, who am I exactly requesting to pull my code and why do I need to use a feature of some git hosting website instead of reviewing, checking, debugging, merging, and reverting if necessary my change locally and using my CI/CD?

Why? What difference does it make if he packages these commit in 1 or 10 PRs?

Keep in mind this is a single maintainer project, there are no PR reviews. He could be just pushing straight to the branch anyway with no PR at all.

The “single pull request” is a merge release from 79 separate commits. It’s the sum of all work, it doesn’t mean all of it was changed in one go.

WebP is super useful. I developed an offline hiking map app and it contained 900MB of PNG map tiles. Way too huge for a mobile app. I converted them to WebP and now they take 50MB while looking the same. It’s amazing.

Is someone who believes there are only two genders, and that’s it’s perfectly valid to transition between the two, a transphobe?

They are certainly wrong, but I feel like that’s an incorrect classification at that point.

There is also a 3D spinning globe, so that too.

But, background is dynamic. You can see it has some kind of fancy moving dots. It’s totally unnecessary, but clearly WebGL was used for that.

This was my experience. Every time people suggest it as a Discord alternative I’m like, have you actually tried it? I hate Discord as much as the next guy but Matrix doesn’t get anywhere close. I tried really hard to like it and give it a chance, but no.

I don’t know how the article measured it, but when I looked at the solar farm on Google Maps it was nowhere close to 600km², I measured it to be 100km² (I think it was the same if be). I think the 600 is the total area owned by the place, not actual area covered by solar panels. So that’s 5-6 times of a difference. But then again, no idea how the original claim was measured.

Plus your math assumes we stop using solar panels worldwide and 100% production goes to our new little Apollo Program for the however many years.

Not impossible… Same way how replacing worldwide power plans with 100% nuclear isn’t impossible. Just… Not in the realm of possibilities.

Food and other farming, yes absolutely.

What I mean is that the biggest solar farm in the world is under 100km². 320.000km² of solar farms would be over 3200 times bigger than the biggest existing solar farm, and require more solar panels than it’s anywhere near feasible to produce. It would be an Apollo Program scale project to build something like that, at the very least, and probably just impossible in any reasonable human timeframe due to lack of resources to build that many panels, even if you could tenfold the worldwide amount of solar panel factories.

I agree 100%, I just don’t think the post title makes sense. As if covering that whole area with solar panels was a reasonable alternative, or something worth considering.

What point are you trying to make? Building a solar farm the size of the entire nation of Germany would produce a lot of power, yes. In fact covering such big of an area with any type of power plant would do it.

People assumed X, but in one experiment the result was Y.

And in his many experiments the result was in fact X, if it was just 1 on which it was Y?

I don’t actually disagree with the article, I’m just pointing out the title is meaningless.

An EV manufacturer wouldn’t try to dissuade you from buying an EV, that’s for sure.

Sure, but having to deal with that could certainly be annoying to someone who just wants to use the computer that’s already turned on.

Because they use the same PC?

No you can’t. The only way to turn off PRs on a public repo is to migrate away from GitHub.

It’s definitely designed to be able to send signals to satellites

Do you have any source for that? Not that I don’t believe you but I can’t find anything on this

The 3G transmitter is not able to send signals to satellites.

The tweet offers the sale of 10000 cameras, not any sharing of footage.
