The math kind of backs it up the efficiency of solar power backed electrical heating over wind. Sunlight has a power of ~2kw/m^2 in visible spectrum (solar panels cannot capture all of this). At a strong breeze (10m/s) wind has a

Those are excellent points to consider. Also, in the favor of SPA's you can consider the horrible state of repeating post requests when users press the back button on server rendered multi-stage forms (like purchasing a flight ticket).

I used to feel that way, then I met a one javascript developer in particular who really made me see it differently. I won't get into those here, I just want to tone down the "probably don't need" into a "don't

A person would take a job for the same reason that people take higher paid jobs with more responsibilities over lower paid jobs with fewer responsibilities: more money.

Yes, I can understand overselling as well, but it should be a gamble on the part of the airlines that they don't want to lose. It seems that in many places there are too few ramifications for losing this particular gamble. I think the

Seems that nobody is reading the article. Yes, pretty much all airlines are overselling. However, Air Canada employees speaking on condition of anonymity are stating that business as usual for the airline is to string customers along until

The customers can rally their elected officials to legislate guaranteed 1+ year warranties... this is what European customers did a while back.

In the ideal scenario of lane straddlers, everyone trying to enter a particular lane at a particular point has to do so at the end of the line of people already waiting to enter. The right hand lane is completely unused and therefore the le

They kind of go hand in hand so I find it a bit amusing to make the distinction and say that therefore event sourcing isn't racey. Fine, event sourcing by itself isn't, but issuing the events is racey if anything listening to the

From the Semver perspective, change to an undocumented (and therefore not public) feature is not a major change. The point is that their safety documentation doesn't change from one system to the next. Anyone who was "doing it by

Event systems do not require deduplication and/or strong ordering on the ingress. You can also solve the problem on the consumption side and there are often reasons to do this. Plus you should be more forgiving of examples. Let us stre

The reproducibility crisis is largely related to publication bias and the lack of low hanging fruit. That is to say, the only real effects left out there are small size effects that most studies do not have the power to measure anyways and

Flat space and cartesian coordinates with a couple of known exceptions is the norm (we do use some curvilinear coordinates where some differential geometry methods are not necessary but can be illuminating). You have honestly piqued my curi

Offer users a meaningful reason to actually consent to such targeting. Current "consent" forms are not meaningful in that most users are probably clicking "ok" just to get rid of the pop up and not because they actually

Yeah, that's the stuff right there! Well to distinguish covectors you need to define something like a manifold or just any canonical mapping between the tangent and cotangent space and then when you define your first few tensors you de

Oh, I like that approach. I will have to remember this "argument" against lock out.

Where is the slot for the metric so that the summation doesn't blindly treat my tensor's covector slots like vector slots? Maybe I am being a bit too cynical, but it is a shame that people have come to know about "Einstein su

Pushing buttons doesn't scream vandalism like inserting glue into a lock does. As a less vandalism like attack, consider when your drunk neighbours attempts to enter your apartment instead of their own. The security "feature"

That is indeed. Thank you for that. Instead of requiring filtering on behalf of rightsholders that refuse to license to platforms (an asymmetric relationship that just increases costs for one party), I wish that the EU would legislate FRAND

I wish that the EFF would include links to the updated directive. The latest I can find is the language as of 2018-05-25 ( http://www.consilium.europa.eu/media/35373/st09134-en18.pdf ) which doesn't contain the

This is my feeling as well. I also enjoy my commute (which is rather short: ~25 min door to door) as a way to get into the mood for work or leave it behind on my way home. Then again I am one of the people that enjoy open office plans. Ther

Legally, the EU is claiming that if you do certain things which affect EU residents, then it will declare a judgment against you regardless of where you were when you did those things. This idea is not new and certainly is not seen as unequ

It is context based. In the case at hand, I think it is fairly clear that the Eve corp wants users from Europe, since otherwise other corps which take users from Europe would out compete them. I'm not an Eve player, but my understandin

It seems to me that if your argument is valid then the situation is even worse for machine learning. That is to say, if machine learning cannot use the real numbers then they cannot solve any problem which depend on any properties of the re

There were a lot of people trying to make a relativistic theory of gravity. Nordstrom's theories were precursors to General relativity and there is also an argument to be made that Hilbert discovered general relativity before Einstein.

Unless you are talking botany, calling a tomato a fruit is falling for the fallacy of equivocation and too many people do this and have the pretension that they are being smart. The word "fruit" has multiple definitions, a tomato

The same as the problem with not including the tax in the price up front: it hides the true cost behind a series of computations that most people won't do and a tourist certainly cannot do without research. It is essentially a trick to
