I'm cooking up some fine spaghetti over here on Gleba.

Everyone's an Italian chef the first time they go to Gleba.

Maybe she means per day.

It's even worse when you take a bunch of the small percentage of energy the heat engine successfully turns into motion and then use it to heat up the brake discs.

Being able to recapture kinetic energy into a battery and reuse it later helps overall efficiency a lot.

Okay, but that's still partially on Nvidia for refusing to participate. They could have argued for explicit sync early in Wayland's development but they weren't at the table at all, so they got stuck with the technology that was decided on without them and had to argue for changes much later.

And they started off arguing for EGLStreams, but it didn't work well either. Explicit sync came later.

Wayland has a bunch of features that are so new they aren't in the stable distros yet.

Nvidia went from declaring they were never going to support Wayland to trying to force their own EGLStreams stuff on everybody to reluctantly accepting the standard that was developed without them and trying to make it work for their driver. They're playing catchup and it's entirely their own fault for refusing to cooperate with anybody.

They're moving more towards open source drivers now, probably because the people buying billions of dollars worth of GPUs to use on Linux servers for AI training have had words with Nvidia on the subject.

Ah, the Internet. A place where the men are men, the women are men, and the children are FBI agents.

I realise it's a joke and the details are irrelevant, but an EV is probably going to take weeks to drain its battery just sitting on in the garage. Days if it's running the A/C.

Moving the vehicle costs so much energy that it's a bit shocking how long an EV battery lasts if you use it for things other than driving.

In this paper, we aim to answer a long-standing open problem in the programming languages community: is it possible to smear paint on the wall without creating valid Perl?

We answer this question in the affirmative: it is possible to smear paint on the wall without creating a valid Perl program. We employ an empirical approach, using optical character recognition (OCR) software, which finds that merely 93% of paint splatters parse as valid Perl. We analyze the properties of paint-splatter Perl programs, and present seven examples of paint splatters which are not valid Perl programs.

Your distro is crap, mine is awesome.

What distro do I use? I don't see how that's relevant. No, I don't need to know what you use either.

Edit: we all secretly know that Hannah Montana Linux is the best.

Income tax when you aren't receiving an income is a weird idea.

It sounds like the author wants a land tax, but hasn't ever heard the term.
