Re: World-beating?
World-following.
The neighbours Netherlands, Germany, Ireland are all aiming at 2030 already. France is still 2040 but will probably fall in line. Norway are already on their way there and have set a target of 2025.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson pledges £12bn green economy package

Re: Pointless
It exists so people can create fictional anecdotes to trigger outrage and then wallow in an echo chamber of similarly outraged people. And also so people can pointlessly whinge eternally about anything, usually governments.
It also exists so people can get into “discussions “ and then cowardly block people when it doesn’t go their way. They can then return to their echo chamber and have their false beliefs reinforced.
It’s a cess pit, but a less noxious cess pit than faecebook.

Python swallows Java to become second-most popular programming language... according to this index
Friday 13th November 2020 08:39 GMT
Contrary to popular belief, Uni computer science is not a holiday, they use C, C++, Assember and stuff like Haskell. They teach supporting stuff in mathermatics and predicate / first order logic.
Python with its extensive choice of libraries is replacing MatLab on the physics / science courses, and it is quite suitable for that role.
C++ is seeing the benefit of Qt now, because Qt goes some way to addressing the Linux gui fragmentation problem. Qt is available for Python but the c++ is more native. How many times I’ve heard “ffs, not tomcat again”
Java is a total turd, horrible outdated piece of crap, which is becoming more and more stigmatised and increasingly rejected since it started to carry the Larry spike.
I am amazed to see that PHP is still a thing on Tiobe. I had forgotten it existed.

Re: Polarizing filter
In my experience it is the millions of little microscratches on the surface of the glass / plexiglass that causes the light to spread over the screen and interior making vision difficult. Having experienced this in a Robinson R22 a couple of years ago, the idiot cannot keep you fixed in a handheld beam, so it appears as brief flashes from the source.

Remember when the keyboard was the computer? You can now relive those heady days with the Raspberry Pi 400
Monday 2nd November 2020 09:49 GMT
I have the tracking number for mine already, though if the weather had been nicer I would have gone into Grand Arcade today and grabbed one.
Pi 400 for 4GB, so an 8GB would be Pi 800, maybe add XL on there for some Atari style. I do like the neatness of an integrated Pi desktop. The SoC chip is a revised one from the one on the Pi4, it is also used on the CM4. It has thermal tweaks I believe. I expect that another revision of Pi4 is in the pipeline using this chip, no benefit of unnecessarily fabbing both chips.
iPhone sales shrink for 2nd year in a row as delay to next-gen mobile launch hits hard
Sunday 1st November 2020 14:10 GMT
Re: Corrolation?
Although the costs of a phone is hidden for most users, behind the contract monthly payments. The mini is approaching but not exceeding the price of a Mac air. I’ve been in an iPhone family for many years, we’ve never bought a new one, always get them used and a couple of years behind. Perfectly adequate phones and allows me to avoid the unacceptable alternative.
Planet Computers throws Linux fans a bone, improves calls, and adds virty trackpad to Cosmo Communicator
Wednesday 28th October 2020 10:18 GMT
Shame that Planet are not continuing with Sailfish support, or maybe Jolla are not supporting newer Planet models.
I'll stick with the Gemini for Sailfish. Still being updated (had another update this month), proper touch-driven interface, has a nice linux shell, runs Python. It's the truer Psion adoptive descendant having been evolved out of Maemo which was a kind of Symbian successor. Had it since the 2017 crowdfunder and still in regular use.
What will you do with your Raspberry Pi 4 this week? RISC it for a biscuit perhaps?
Tuesday 27th October 2020 16:52 GMT
In your rush to be condescending, did you check the prices of good (not bedroom coder) RISC OS software licences (talking about applications, as a RISCOS user I'm well aware that the OS is free to download)?:
Artworx 2.x3 £169
EasiWriter 9.1 £99
TechWriter 9.1 £124
PostScript 3 driver £35
GutenPrint to use some printers: Donation £10+
This is just to get software that has something approaching the quality of linux free software like libreoffice. Dear child, this is what "cost of software" means.
Can't afford an AI-accelerating Nvidia Jetson Nano? Open-source emulator lets you prototype Python apps for it
Tuesday 27th October 2020 09:23 GMT
I use a 4GB nano to tinker with CUDA, they are a well sorted little SBC and the only one I know that gets near the Rapsberry Pi in terms of a well sorted hardware/software/community combined package. It uses Pi accessories such as the camera.
In fact I’m impressed with it enough to consider dropping a bit more cash on a Xavier NX.

Samsung aims boot at Apple's decision not to bundle a charger in with the iPhone 12, foot ends up in mouth
Saturday 17th October 2020 11:23 GMT
Re: Oh Samsung
3G would have consumed too much power in a device made using off-the-shelf chips.
In theory. In practice a few kbs would grumble on for several minutes loading to a phone over 2G, causing the handset to heat up and draining the battery. The same on 3G would be done in a few seconds.
I’m not sure about why people whinge on about IPhone features, nobody is claiming originality. Just another Edison taking ideas from others and making them more consumer ready.
