  • Wer darf denn so eine allgemeine, Gesetze unterwandernde Ausnahmegenehmigung ausstellen? Habt ihr wenigstens Ausgleichszeiten dafür oder ist das eine einseitige Streichung?

    EDIT: alles klar, Eigentor:

    Ebenso gibt es die Möglichkeit für Tarifvertragsparteien gemäß § 7 Abs.1 ArbZG (sog. Tariföffnungsklausel), die Ruhezeit um bis zu zwei Stunden zu kürzen, wenn die Art der Arbeit dies erfordert und die Kürzung innerhalb eines festzulegenden Zeitraums ausgeglichen wird.

  • "Deploying" images rather than installing from the official ISO?
  • Ansible playbook is perfect for this. All your configuration is repeatable, whether on a running system or a new one. Plus you can start with a completely fresh newest version image and apply from there, instead of starting from a soon-to-be outdated custom image.

  • Sprinkle pool at NYC’s Museum of Ice Cream leaves visitor with ‘permanent’ injuries: suit
  • This sounds an awful lot like victim blaming. It's the responsibility of the museum to clearly communicate how the attraction should be used. For example by signage if it should only be used below a certain weight or age. There are plenty of examples of this with attractions elsewhere, so it's not as if that's remotely surprising or an undue burden or anything.

  • JSON Query Language
  • Postgres handles NoSQL better than many dedicated NoSQL database management systems. I kept telling another team to at least evaluate it for that purpose - but they knew better and now they are stuck with managing the MongoDB stack because they are the only ones that use it. Postgres is able to do everything they use out of the box. It just doesn't sound as fancy and hip.

  • Explaining software development methods by flying to Mars
  • Also, Kanban was invented in the 40s as a process for automotive production lines. That's why it aligns so well with maintenance and operations projects in IT. It's ridiculous how more and more people claim it comes from software development and would not fit hardware projects, when that's the core use case of the methodology.

  • Distro suggestions for grandparents?
  • I never needed it. I know from my school days that windows supports that use case. You get a full system and can do with it as you please but on reboot you get a completely fresh file system. The only thing that persisted were the user profiles that roamed through active directory. Seemingly there was no way of tampering with the file system, that would persist a reboot. And as school kids we tried hard 😅

    I would be surprised if Linux didn't have utilities for that, that were better designed and safer - but again, not my expertise.

  • Distro suggestions for grandparents?
  • Sure. Not all directories are protected and the ones that are, are just protected from immediate write access. A malicious app or a user who copies the wrong snippets can create overlays and apply them immediately without a reboot. Having atomic distros is awesome but it has nothing to do with immutability and it someone needed that for example for PCs that are in random control at least some of the time, then they need a different solution on top, that gives actual immutability.

  • Small modular nuclear reactors get a reality check in new report
  • I specifically picked the statistic that claimed to have included the full cost of installing something new. Most other statistics only include prolonging the life of existing plants, thus ignoring the installation costs completely. You can just quote the paragraphs that prove your point the same way I have and then we can discuss further. Maybe I made a mistake, who knows.

  • Small modular nuclear reactors get a reality check in new report
  • Extremely cheap per kilowatt? Every statistic out there that I've seen and that includes government funding, as well as construction and deconstruction costs, paints a different picture. Nuclear is only competitive with coal or the relatively underdeveloped solar thermal.

    In 2017 the US EIA published figures for the average levelized costs per unit of output (LCOE) for generating technologies to be brought online in 2022, as modelled for its Annual Energy Outlook. These show: advanced nuclear, 9.9 ¢/kWh; natural gas, 5.7-10.9 ¢/kWh (depending on technology); and coal with 90% carbon sequestration, 12.3 ¢/kWh (rising to 14 ¢/kWh at 30%). Among the non-dispatchable technologies, LCOE estimates vary widely: wind onshore, 5.2 ¢/kWh; solar PV, 6.7 ¢/kWh; offshore wind, 14.6 ¢/kWh; and solar thermal, 18.4 ¢/kWh.

  • The History of X11

    With Wayland becoming more and more popular, it's interesting to look at the around 40 year history of X.
