Thanks, I came here to ask what was wrong with the good ol' rtl2832.

That is the norm in all "sporty" stuff. Expensive car/motorbikes/bicycles use light alloys that wear out much faster than heavier, cheaper materials

Have a look at the original Fiat 500, it's comically small. You need to remember that the average adult Italian man in 1955 was about 8 cm shorter than today's average, and it's probably similar in other european countries.

Well, MSSQL has something similar:

I find quite useful to write down my understanding/opinion and ask an LLM to find errors and write objections to it.

In italian "Import tariff" is "Dazio".

It could be explained by the herd mentality. An angry man alone would probably not throw stones in the street with his face uncovered; But he would probably do so in a riot. Now, in social networks, is quite easy to simulate persons and have them starting a riot. Having a way to identify real persons could make this more difficult.

I don't get it

12B KWh = 12M MWh = 12,000 TWh?

What is the point? As long as your camera has a decent clock, you just need to record a gpx during your shooting session with an external device and you can add geolocation after you download your pictures. IIRC Darktable can do that.

This can be solved by implementing RfC 3514.

Freon bans?

Well, you still need to track down the <filename> part and knowing what you want to search, so you need to examine the schema anyway.

However, if your all application state can be represented in a single json file of less than a dozen MB, yes, a database can be overkill.

> Dealing with even sqlite is a pain in the ass when you just need to tweak or read something, especially if you're not the dev.

How? With SQL is super easy to search, compare, and update data. That's what it’s built for.

> I forget how to type braces or back ticks.

US layout and compose key on AltGr. You'll never look back.

I feel like today an engineer with a modern framework and AI con produce in an afternoon a product that deliver real value, something that 25 years ago would have required a full hour by a high schooler with MS Access.

Meet the "Hague Invasion Act":

Actually, I sense a mounting "AI fatigue". Angry comments under AI contents. Social media accounts that proclaim to be "AI Free". I was thinking today that the killer app for AI could be a filter that automatically exclude all AI content.

Much like "the Cloud" solved a lot of problems in IT, and replaced them with more, different, harder problems.

But the point is, that's the same happening right now without religion. At least, with organized religion, you have someone accountable.

Again, this come from someone without a religious affiliation.

> You get certainty in an uncertain world. You get a community that will defend you. You get a simple heuristic for navigating complex issues.

This is what faith used to provide. I say this as a not religious person: Maybe societies really need something like religion to channel irrationality?

This is the real point. Just measuring the amount of water involved makes no sense. Taking 100 liters of water from a river to cool a plant and dumping them back in a river a few degrees warmer is different from taking 100 liters from a fossil acquifer to evaporatively cool the same plant.

"X-ray light" sound a bit like beer soda.

I can relate. May ask you how your relation with AI tools is? I tend to find myself translating my mental model into natural language, to have a machine convert it into code, then reading that code back to mental model. It's unnerving. It feels much more natural writing my mental model directly into code.

> When all processes for deriving synthetic gasoline require more input energy than available energy from the output, you're not describing processes that "potentially offering a more sustainable alternative to fossil fuels."

Sorry, what? Even charging a battery "require more input energy than available energy from the output". Obviously it's not a source of energy, it's a way to store energy.

Sane people don't want to invest time learning a new UI just because it's prettier.

It's quite common for tunnels. Like the Eurotunnel or the Simplon tunnel.
