We have bad/corrupt governments sometimes, that doesn't mean we should get rid of governments. (Though maybe the libertarian Fraser institute might disagree with me there.)
In my experience it Just Works ™️. I spin up a distro/toolbox, compile some software (e.g. Emacs) then run the executable inside the container, and up pops the GUI window.
If you use distrobox, you can even distrobox-export desktop files, at which point a containerised gui application is practically indistinguishable from one installed on the host system
Its just the symbol The Register uses at the end of an article. Like how some papers use a filled in square.
Iirc microkernels have been the future since before Linux existed. There was a bit of a flame war between Linus and the guy who wrote the MINIX kernel about how being monolithic would be the death of Linux.
GNU Hurd also wanted to show the world how good microkernels could be, but sadly never got off the ground.
I'm not saying microkernels are bad, but I do wonder if there's some reason we don't see them out in the wild much.
Underrated comment.
Functional bros rise up!
Yeah it seems super buggy. I had her in my party the whole time, did her quest etc, but she didn't offer any help. Didn't think anything of it until I reloaded the save to see some more endings, and all of a sudden she's like "have some harpers!"
I love the concept of organic maps, and do even use it occasionally, but for now I'm mostly sticking to OSMand.
The main feature missing for me is the ability to customise the map styles. I like using map apps for hiking and organic maps default (/only) style is ugly at best and unusable at worst for this.
It is fascinating tbh. Moreover, it's currently (as of writing) at 42%. Considering 13:30 is hardly "off-peak", I'd say that's pretty damn impressive.
So yeah, going 100% air-source heat pump if you're area regularly spends time around -30°C (-22F) might not be the best idea. Though even the last report you cited said it might be 1.5-2x as efficient as resistive heating. And that Site 1 with bad COPs was because they manually lowered the fan speed...
This seems like a false dichotomy. Maxwell's equations don't say anything about where the charge comes from, only how the electromagnetic field behaves if charge (be it electric or magnetic) is present.
And if you're talking about the standard model, well we've known that that's incomplete since its inception, but I'm not aware of any argument that says anything beyond the standard model must have either monopole or a fundamentally different conception of magnetic dipoles.

Please somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I really don't find the "chip makers don't have to pay licence fees" a compelling argument that RISC-V is good for the consumer. Theres only a few foundries capable of making CPUs, and the desktop market seems incredibly hard to break into.
I imagine it's likely that the cost of ISA licencing isn't what's holding back competition in the CPU space, but rather its a good old fashioned duopoly combined with a generally high cost of entry.
Of course, more options is better IMO, and the Linux community's focus on FOSS should make hopping architectures much easier than on Windows or MacOS. But I'd be surprised if we see a laptop/desktop CPU based on RISC-V competing with current options anytime soon.
