This is something that has been occasionally happening in Europe (at least in Germany, don’t know about France) for well over 10 years now. Probably more like 15.
What’s sorely needed at this point is much more storage to make this energy available when it is needed instead of when it isn’t. Before that happens, you cannot really decommission any gas or coal power plants, because you still need them during times of much less renewable production.
MacOS is basically a different world.
In a language that has exceptions, there is no good reason to return bool here…
Aw, too bad, they were working so hard on bankrupting themselves in defiance of that endless money cheat code they’ve got…
About 20 years ago, Microsoft was found guilty and convicted, because they forced their browser on their users, driving out competitors by abusing their de facto monopoly on PC operating systems. These days, they are doing the exact same thing again, just on an even broader base. I don’t even understand how this verdict took so long.
Also, almost all of that is written in C, which is a successor to B, which is a simplified version of the Basic Combined Programming Language. There was never an A.
Batteries take “rare earth metals” like cobalt.

Is this article really a good fit for the Technology community?
Right, the head twit, the one who “doesn’t need” to ever consult with domain experts from his own companies, because he “knows” he’s right about everything anyway…
Not necessarily, more like GoDaddy was the domain swatter that was holding on to that domain until Musk decided to pay the ransom. We cannot tell from the screenshot what registrar he uses for that domain now.
We can, however, tell from whois, and what do you know, it’s godaddy…
In fairness, DNS entries do get cached for a while (usually 24 hours), so you might have gotten a stale version of the resource record. It’s even entirely possible that whatever DNS resolver Musk uses did have the up to date version already while yours did not.
Still, Twitter should double and triple checked that this works even from other resolvers before announcing it like this.
Batches 4 and 5 are also sold out by now.
Meanwhile, batches 8 and 9 have been added to the list. Looks like they did not anticipate this kind of success.
Is OpenBSD seriously still using CVS for development?
