What is it this time they are hiding with a public stunt?

It’s not intended for desktop use.

The Fascist States of Trumpistan

Anyone want to take bets on how many deaths/injuries will there be before they’re pulled?

DOGE will make sure it won’t be pulled. They’ll shut down any administration that tries.

This LiDAR tech vs Tesla video makes me wish Tesla will use LiDAR in their self-driving Robotaxi fleet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQJL3htsDyQ&t=556s

How many hours until Russia blame Ukraine for breaking the truce without providing any proof?

Apple actually open sourced Swift language, and it’s available for other operating systems as well: https://www.swift.org/

Xcode is the app you need to use, if you want to submit your app to macOS or iOS App Store. You can build macOS apps with other tools, but you can’t distribute them in the App Store. There are developers who sell their apps through their own websites, or through other marketplaces, such as Steam. And while you can build iOS apps with other tools as well, it’s mostly pointless as you can’t distribute them, because iPhone doesn’t support sideloading. Jailbroken iPhones are an exemption to that.

As far as I know (I’m not an expert), negative void coefficient only affects the fission reaction, i.e. the controlled splitting of uranium atoms. The uranium atoms split into smaller unstable atoms, which decays over time causing heat. If the decay heat isn’t removed, the core will melt.

Pebble Bed Reactors seem to be generation IV reactors, and I don’t think there are any generation IV reactors in commercial use as of today. Again, my knowledge is limited, but I believe most reactors in commercial use are some kind of water cooled, water moderated reactors. For example, European Pressurised Reactor (EPR) is one of the latest designs commissioned in commercial use, and that design includes 4 emergency coolant systems.

The main reaction can be stopped within seconds, but the secondary reaction cannot. If the reactor isn’t sufficiently cooled by running water through it, it will meltdown due to the secondary reactions.

And would be nice to know if it’s coming to other platforms at the same time, or is it going to be Switch 2 exclusive for some time.

This Marco Rubio?

Stupid Differently. Apple’s new slogan.

Many plants have anti-nutrients, compounds that inhibit absorption of nutrients. Both coffee and tea inhibit absorption of some minerals, such as iron.

That thing is about 70 meters long and weights 300 tons and some.

Right hand for right-handed threads and left hand for left-handed. If unsure, it’s most likely right-handed.

My family’s always sliced the pineapple into disks then cut those into 4ths. You end up with a small part of core per piece.

This is the way. And depending on how hard the core happens to be, you can slice the pineapple into thinner discs or cut them into smaller pieces to make it easier to eat.

Loose-leaf tea steeped in a gaiwan, which ever tea leaves I happen to have.

I am so oversensitive to caffeine, that I tend to lose my sleep if I drink even a cup of coffee a day. So, if I drink coffee, I prefer decaf. There are some good decaf coffees nowadays.

Fun fact: Black tea is called red tea in China, because of the color.

L-theanine might help with caffeine’s side effects. Theanine is a compound found in tea. It’s believed to reduce the negative side effects of caffeine, without affecting the positive effects of it.

Absolutely bonkers, they were testing that thing so close to population. There are residential areas within about 1km/mile from the test site. In one of the videos, it sounds like the blast wave destroyed some window. So, even if that thing would have only exploded during the test, it would have caused harm in those areas. Luckily, it landed on an empty area.

There’s something wrong with the device. Paperwhite’s battery should last for weeks, especially if it’s somewhat recent model. Try to calibrate the battery by charging it to full, and continue to charge couple more hours after it’s full. Then use the device until the battery is completely empty (the device turns off by itself). And finally charge it to full. Do not charge it while you are discharging the battery, or interrupt the charging while charging to full. If that doesn’t help, the battery might be faulty or there is something wrong on the software side of things.
