"The distance from your eyes to your thumb is *about 10 times* the distance between your eyes." Which means you could calibrate this formula using your own body. Let's find the exact value for my eye/arm ratio! EDIT For

GCC or Clang with all warnings turned on will give you almost what you want. -Wconversion -Wdouble-promotion and 100s of others. A good way to learn about warning flags (apart from reading the docs) is Clang -Weverything, which will give yo

This is the sad truth. The green party in Flanders/Belgium is pushing hard to close our last nuclear plants. How they can rationalize replacing them with Gas is beyond me. They are running solely on ideology at this point.

I really hope embedded rust can become the next rock-solid foundation. I need my code to build/run today and also in 10 years. We have code in our codebase from at least the early 90s but I suspect it's older than that. I went int

Physically it will require more energy to extract carbon from the air later. But "cost" is a funny, human construct. We just don't know how much it will cost, because we don't have carbon capture at scale yet. As with ev

Yes, Dijkstra was an idealist. But sometimes that's exactly what the world needs. We are drowning in complexity.

Touchscreen in a BMW is already optional to use. You have the control joystick, which you use when driving. Touchscreen is for the passenger next to the driver, or when standing still. I personally never use it and prefer the joystick for a
