Comment Why are we trying to do this again? (Score 1) 92

Serious question.
Why?

Every time this happens, the people doing it pretend it's the first time this has happened in the last x number of years since the c64's release.
Although, this is the first time a project doing it has filled their entire site with unedited slop. Doesn't make me feel great about the process here.

Things I want from a project like this:
- Technical specifications and circuit board porn.
- Operating system details
- Wifi available, you say? Tell me more about the networking stack!

What exactly am I buying, other than a C64 case that's outfitted to look like an iMac from the early 2000s?

None of this is clear from the website.
It's an opaque project that provides almost no useful information on the product that they're selling.

Until a year ago, the main thing I knew Overstreet for was running his mouth off about how braindead btrfs is, and how bad its design was. He may or may not have a point, i don't know enough to judge. But it seems at the moment that there are some horrific bugs in bcachefs, which suggests that Overstreet perhaps isn't the genius he thinks he is.

Second, the steering wheel always overrides lane-assist. If you want to stay further left or right than the car encourages, you can totally do that.

In every car except Teslas. In a Tesla, the lane assist will not allow deviations from its chosen path. If you try to correct it, it will fight you until you do it strongly enough, at which point it will turn off entirely.

There is no "encourage" in a Tesla.

Gotta tell you, it's reasonable to accuse me of TDS -- I think that dude is the worst, and a wannabe genocidal fascist who seeks to end Democracy -- but even I'm sitting here going "yeah, that's actually a reasonable call, to eliminate the penny."

Comment Entire article is misinformation (Score 5, Informative) 178

This is the kind of article I would expect in Pravda in the "good" old days of the Soviet Union.

These are some of the lies in the article:

The "ban" never existed, it was just a decision not to plan for nuclear power. Lifting the "ban" will not allow anyone to build nuclear reactors; that requires a separate legal framework.

The Danish grid has solved the inertia problem by buying commercial off-the-shelf synchronous compensators, at a far lower cost than implementing nuclear power.

The "ban" is not being lifted yet, the government is merely ordering an analysis of whether it makes sense to remove it.

Nuclear power is not being considered because it might help grid stability but because some people / politicians are worried about the fluctuating prices of electricity.
