Huh? I restricted it to 2023-now, and got 146 results. 80 for 2024 only.


146 in how many? 80 in how many?


80/557

146/1109


that's above 12% on both.

now correct it for number of sold phones each (estimated by looking at the 70 most popular models) and we'll get why they said 1/4.


They do - Spectre Elite is the most common RDD around. However, it only detects low-quality and old radar detectors, newer ones are much harder to pick out since they don't emit noise on their superheterodyne frequency.


Also, in an ironic twist: Uniden makes the radar detector detectors... and radar detectors which are immune. R7/R8 for the win!


Air rifle bullets are typically specified in grains, for example


GDPR enforcement actions are happening quite often in the EU.

It depends on the country. When I filter for specific countries, it really can be very rare.

Look at the difference between Germany and say Austria, for example. Or if you must compare two large countries Germany and France. There is quite a large gap between different countries.


Electron could also figure out a way to change less often, like JVM does ;)


This is the JS world, if it ain't updated in the last week or two, people think the project is abandoned :)


Electron's release cycle is highly impacted by Chromium's release cycle because of how tightly coupled it is, so unfortunately this feels unlikely to happen.


I'm in Latvia and senior developers are paid 60-90k here.


Currently EFI partitions are on the order of 300-500 MB for common installs, that'd allow you to store millions of PNG-compressed QR codes.

Or even better, a small library which'd allow bootloader to generate it on the fly.


On my system the full qrencode binary is 85K, and it supports a lot more output formats than needed in this application.

That said, with iPhone cameras supporting live OCR and URL detection, a QR code would be unnecessary.


Replacing solar panels is cheaper and easier than replacing roof tiles, so you can even use solar panels as hail protection for your roof :^) (I'm half-serious, ofc)


>What's their energy consumption vs. a LCD?

Zero when they're not flipping, and close to zero when they are. Even under direct sunlight, to overcome which LCDs need >100W / square meter.


Windows XP lived thorough 6 GB (minimum requirement - 1.5 GB, but I don't recall seeing drives less than six gigs at the time) to 2 TB HDD's. That's literally a 333x increase, which NTFS handled just fine. From min requirement it'd be a 1000x increase.


Windows XP's default clustering (well, until SP2 at least) "only" allowed for 128GB disks. The cluster size was later increased. The 2TB limit was generally a limit for the BIOS code rather than an OS limit, as NTFS will happily scale beyond 2TB.

Windows NT 4 already contained the code necessary to allow for up to 16 exabyte partitions (https://web.archive.org/web/20010208131204/http://support.mi...), but the hardware it was running on probably didn't support anything bigger than a few terabytes. Sure, every text file takes up at least 2MB, but with an exabyte disk, you probably don't care about wasting sectors like that.


a system that can be scaled 333x or pushed into radically different allocation patterns by changing one or two constants seems like an odd choice for arguing that YAGNI and you shouldn't plan for anything beyond 10x/should plan for a system rearchitecture at that scale. That seems very much like a system that thought ahead and picked meaningful knobs to allow drastic changes in use-case to suit the situation.


When XP came out, you already had 100 GB consumer drives on the market that it had to support out of the box, so that's where I'd put the design requirements "starting point". That makes it only one order of magnitude bigger, similar to the 10x.


A year after the XP release, disks with 40GB and 60GB were pretty common.

Ideally XP required 10GB-20GB for a casual usage.


> That's literally a 333x increase

Yet that's only going from 2^32 to 2^40.
