I mean, even if programming.dev defederates with it, it'll still be there...

If that's a 16oz glass of ranch dressing, and you're planning on drinking what's left, I'm all for this

I enjoyed 20XX a lot. I’m not a fan of the more-pixelated art style they went with in 30XX, but looking forward to the gameplay.

I really wish they had used the same actor with or without a mustache in the new show.

Hopefully the lemmy user base is smarter about this than Reddit was, anyhow. God knows enough people over there got confused every time a story like this was posted.

I get the feeling the author of this article, who described it as “The rate Texas residents pay for energy” might be confused on the difference between wholesale and residential rates though.

This is a misleading article quoting the wholesale market rates that are normally paid by factories, utility providers, etc. The vast majority of Texans pay a set rate every month to their utility provider, who ideally generates enough to cover demand, but has to buy from the wholesale market if they fall short (or can sell back to the wholesale market if they over-produce).

There's a small number of people who pay wholesale rates for their residential service, but many of them learned their lesson after that big freeze a few years back. Generally that kind of plan is geared to people who have their own generator, solar, etc and only buy from the grid in rare situations.

Where did Pelia come from in that clip? There doesn't appear to be a door on that side of the room, and the camera is pointing in that direction when she starts talking off-screen.

Was she just hiding behind one of those columns?

The question is more about "how much" of PD they support right? Like PD has standards for charging at higher or lower currents.

My understanding of the current-gen MacBook Pro is that they support some kind of "fast charging", but only if you use their MagSafe port. You can still charge on the USB-C ports, but not as fast as you could with MagSafe. I'm not sure if that's a violation of the regulations, or if PD simply doesn't have support for the amount of power they're pushing through the MagSafe.

But I think the point is that they'll continue to look for ways to offer a better experience with their proprietary stuff, even if they're forced to support a standard in addition.

The real test on this one is going to be in how well those regulations support the eventual transition from USB-C to something else.

There's inevitably going to be a use case for new connectors that have some yet-unidentified advantage over USB-C for certain devices, and there's going to be hurdles convincing regulators to grant exceptions for those devices or to adopt one of them as the new standard for everybody.

There's plenty of examples of government regulations gone wrong trying to transition from an old technology to a new one. (i.e. the REAL ID format in the US, or the switch from analog to digital broadcast TV).

Could have just as easily said it would have been “much worse” without fossil fuels.

When soaring temperatures and demand for cooling led to a peak in Sicilian power demand on 24 July, nearly half of the excess demand - which totalled 1.3 GW - was covered by solar, Refinitiv data show.

So basically wherever the 1.3 GW of capacity came from (could be a bolt of lightning, or some Libyan plutonium, for example), it would have been much worse if they didn’t have it.

Is this Kate from Kate’s Playground? With the hoof?

Ephemeral test environments are a great tool for this kind of stuff. We do work on a feature branch and spin up a test environment for that feature. QA happens there, then it gets merged to master once they approve it.

In our workflow, it deploys immediately, but you could just as easily adapt that to cut a release every Thursday. Then each release can just contain whatever makes its way into master by Thursday. You might need to add more process if there’s release notes etc that need to be coordinated. My suggestion on that would be to cut the release on Tuesday or Wednesday, then whoever does that documentation can look at what made the cut and spend a day documenting it, then just press the deploy button on Thursday once they’re done.
