thx.

  • Belarus (2015; gas, nuclear)
  • Belgium (2016; green, gas, nuclear)
  • Austria (2020; green, bit of gas)
  • Sweden (2020; green, nuclear)
  • Portugal (2021; green, gas)
  • UK (2024; green, gas)
  • Slovakia (2024; nuclear, green, gas)
  • Ireland (2025; green gas)

Most of the nations seem to use renewables and use gas to balance the load spikes. Few have the storage to get by without a source of balancing, nuclear is a common supplement but shouldn't be capable of balancing since it's so slow.

Some use so much gas it's probably not just for balancing, namely the uk.

Sweden is probably using hydro to balance, they don't seem to have any storage but also don't use gas.

I would discard Slovakia. They still have installed coal capacity, and import significantly from poland which is mainly on coal.

Name the prime a "none", the octave a sept.
Now, 2 "septaves", c1 to c3, are a 14th. 2*7 = 14.

You can make off-by-one intervals work, but you have to constantly juggle some +1s or -1s compared to what we usually use.

If you counted distance in steps, then moving from your front door to your front door would be 0 steps, not one, and moving by 6 steps is twice the distance of 3 steps.

A piano with 5 septaves has 5*7 = 60 keys, wait.

So anyway mathematically one dodecave, one 12th, c1 to c2, has 12 segments, the frequency diffefence is 2. So a second, 2 notes, has 2/12 of that interval, the ratio is 2^2/12^.
A first, a halftone, has 2^1/12^ as its frequency ratio, and a none has 2^0/12^ = 1, the same frequency.

No matter if you count physical keys, distance on a keyboard to change a note by, or mathematical frequency in the air, starting at 1 goes against our intuition, and when you try to add or multiply it is easy to get completely wrong results.

PS: You might want to go C to C on your 5 dodecave keyboard, in which case the concept of "started hour" etc. is familiar, you know to add one arriving at 61 keys, and you know that means an assymetry where one C doesn't have 11 other keys to itself.
The other way around you'd have to subtract 4, so probably subtract 5 and add 1 since you were dealing with 5 tredecaves in your head not 1 base tredecave followed by 4 extension tredecaves.

Does it work for mainland EU?
I'm not seeing anything on regional restrictions, if anything their website makes it sound like they work globally (or I assume with anything that takes visa cards?)

Can't you just replace the entire game folder?
Running a verify and repeating the action would even show how many files were changed.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

In the basic case you go to settings and change permissions.

In the more typical case for os modifications, you go to that tab, open advanced properties, change the owner account by typing in "everyone" or your account name by hand, saving, closing reopening the advanced security settings, probably disable inheritance then create a new permission entry.

In the most extreme case, where you change files belonging to something critical like windows defender or edge, you can't.
The only way I am aware of is booting into an older windows install iso, or a live linux iso, then performing the modifications there.

Disclaimer: I have not done this on windows 11 yet, but I can't imagine the process got simplified.

Windows has a lot of systems that allow some more complicated modifications. Those are often unnecessarily obfuscated, the registry for example doesn't have to be a weird custom database, it could have been part of the filesystem or at least a more standard database format. Windows will sometimes bite you with weird sketchy systems breaking expectations, and this tends to become inevitable when you try to change stuff Microsoft has decided to remove consumer choice on.
If Edge and the account push were as easy to avoid as learning how to take basic file ownership, we might not be where we are now (i.e. on Linux).

You need a few new tabs in the same instance, until it tries to start a new process. I can usually keep using ff for half an hour before running into it.

I'm not certain, can't find any reliable info on this.
Shops don't seem to specify the reflective material. In addition, aluminium is commonly used to describe the frame, and silver as a color for the frame or other parts, making it hard to get any info on the sales side.

On the production-tech side, I see some pages talk only about silver, others mention both silver and aluminium. Silver commonly has a description of the chemical process at times (silver nitrate silvering), haven't seen one for aluminium yet.

Price wise, metal should be fully opaque around 10nm. Assuming a generous 100nm thickness, that makes 0.1€/m² worth of silver. I doubt material cost is a factor.

Performance wise, silver seems better than aluminium in its reflectance. Honestly I don't get why anyone would be making aluminium mirrors.

Does anyone have more info on this?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Mirrors now are chemically deposited silver to my knowledge.
Deposited on the back of the glass, then a protective layer applied on top. The amount of silver in that assembly is very low, and none is exposed, but the reflective component is the silver.

Occasionally I refresh and clear read posts only to see a couple posts I just looked at a short while before not marked as read. On opening them again the event log indeed shows a duplicate action for marking the posts read.

Anecdotally this seems to happen for a handfull of posts at once, and I notice it every few days, usually with posts I looked at towards the end of my browsing session. Sometimes a few minutes pass before reloading and finding the post, so I doubt it is some race condition.

I have observed this for a few months now.

Could this be an app issue or is it an issue with my instance?

Has anyone else experienced this?

On Tuesday, the official account for the visa branch of the US Embassy in Tokyo posted an important note for those applying for a nonimmigrant visa — or DS-160 — for the States. According to the notice, applications must include accurate information regarding their SNS accounts that they have used within the last five years. Anyone who fails to comply with this request won’t be allowed to enter the country.

While the US Department of State (DOS) and the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) have been checking the social media accounts of visa applicants and immigrants since at least 2019, Susanne Heubel, senior counsel at New York-based immigration law firm Harter Secrest & Emery LLP, told US Today that up until his last January these searches have been “almost negligible.”

 

Hi, I'm an experienced webdev but new to wordpress and was asked to build a maintainable webpage for a hobbyist group.
In the future they want to be able to maintain as much as possible themselves and for the remainder search for as broad a range of web-devs as possible.
Due to that I found it reasonable that they specifically requested I use wordpress, but they also requested elementor and astra.

Taking basically one long look at these I threw both of them out immediately and have been using a basic theme (twentytwentyfour) and no plugins so far.
My contact however keeps insisting "all the tutorials use astra/elementor" or variations thereof, so just to cover my bases here,
What is the community consensus on astra/elementor?
What plugins themes would you recommend for such a situation?

The page has a bunch of static text-pages, a somewhat complex page-frame (with top and sidemenus) and a few "article pages" (Where later maintainers can easily create "posts" i.e. subpages).
Running costs are unacceptable and I would very much like to avoid one-time costs.

With the update there was an overhaul of what combinators can do.
I had the problem that my oil cracking would flicker, turning on for a split second then back off again, hovering right around the set threshold. (Probably worsened by me not switching a pump anymore like what used to be the norm.)

The old method would have been an SR latch, which enables at a higher set point and disables again at a lower reset point. This used to take 3 combinators.

~~I figured it should be possible to do better now, but could not come up with a way to cram an sr latch into a single combinator, since it can only be either on or off at one time. I think it takes two combinators to build an sr latch now.~~
A single-combinator SR latch is in the comments.

Instead I came up with another way to "debounce" my cracking.

Here shown is the combinator sending the signal to enable cracking (the recipe icon of light oil cracking) while the actual activation signal, light oil above 20k, is off.

The signal was on for a moment, then after the cracking started up the oil level immediately dropped below 20k again. But now the second condition, T between 0 and 10s, is active. While the combinator is active, it is sending out 1 plus the old count to T, counting it up once per frame. It remains active while the condition is active or while T is counting up but has not yet reached 10s (at 60 ticks per second). This ensures that every time the cracking runs, it runs for at least 10 seconds.
After these 10+ seconds, the level should take a while before rising above the threshold again.

For me, this successfully made the row of chem plants turn on in one smooth go.

 

3x the previous all time high just shy of 35k in August 2020 when 1.0 released - on a Friday during the pandemic.

2 month update: Just got this mail

Your Nebula Subscription
We're writing to let you know about a change to your Nebula subscription. Curiosity Stream deactivated your bundle access to Nebula on February 22, 2024. Because you purchased your direct Nebula subscription while still having access to Nebula through the bundle, we're adjusting your subscription's renewal date to be one year after your bundle subscription was deactivated. Your updated subscription details are as follows:

Next Renewal Date: February 22, 2025
Subscription: Yearly
Amount: $30 USD

So that would also indicate double charging.

Answer:
The charge is immediate, but the 12-month plan starts when the bundle access ends.

Original question:
Got the info that my curiositystream bundle, started mid april, wouldn't renew. I canceled the bundle on curiositystreams side and used the process the unbundle page guides you through to change to a regular subscription. Which worked fine. But the subscription price got charged immediately, and I now have two subscriptions listed in my account:

The confirmation reads

Thank you for purchasing a subscription to Nebula.

Subscription: Yearly
Purchase Date: February 21, 2024
Amount: $30 USD

Am I essentially getting double charged for 2 months here? If so, what would have been the right procedure?

 

I updated my firefox from 119.0.1 to 121.0 two days ago, and have noticed a for my usage quite significant change:
When I have a page, say a search engine query or a gallery of links on a page, and I open one then go back, previously I got the cached version. Within reason of the cache size I could go back a few pages even days later and critically see them as they where, just like I would expect for a tab I have open.

I use this behavior to work through essentially todo lists, so now that the lists get reloaded every time I visit them, this combines with server side caching to make the list jump around quite annoyingly.
My expected behavior would be the cached back history being served when available, except when I manually hit F5.

Was this change intentional? Is there any way to get the old behavior back?

Edit:
It seems to be a bug and only happen on some profiles, potentially dependent on some metric related to heavy use, like number of open tabs and windows.
Edit:
It seems to be related to uBlock Origin.
Edit:
It is definitely an issue within ubo, I will add a link to the issue there when I create it.
Edit:
It seems to be caused by the "AdGuard Tracking Protection" filter list within ubo.
Edit: issues:
ubo filters: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/21841
AdguardFilters: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/issues/170172
Edit:
It was fixed a few minutes ago, the changes should percolate through to ubo soon™. Thx Yuki2718.
