I don't understand your paragraph about C libraries. With wheels (which pip can install) there is no problem packing, and linking to, compiled C libraries.

What's special about RV heat pumps which makes them so bad compared to regular heat pumps? Heat pumps have gotten significantly better lately, and house-models are effecient down to -25C. Maybe the RV models you have tried are mostly o

How large percentage of your tax bill do you think goes to getting more women into high status jobs, or regulating the size of cabbages? Whenever I see politicians actually try to lower expenses it always turns out that most money is used o

There is also pandas udfs, which uses arrow as the exchange format. I assume it still has to copy the data (?), but it makes the (de)serializarion fast, and allows for vectorized operations. https://spark.apache.org/docs

Yeah delivery cost might be a factor, maybe it costs more to deliver 1 kWh of electricity through a wire than (the equivalent of) 1 kWh of gas with a truck (that's what you use right?). Gas, if its stored in a big tank under your house

Unless gas is subsidised I don't really understand how gas can be cheaper. A modern heat pump can give 3-5 kWh of heat using 1 kWh of electricity. And a modern gas generator is roughly 50% effecient at creating electricity (according t

On one axis a plug-in hybrid is just objectively better than both ICE cars and EVs, it can use two sources of energy instead of one. But it comes with a bunch of other tradeoffs (which I don't know much about). EVs work pretty OK in No

Yeah you are right, when a leap second is introduced it becomes 23:59:60 (monotonic) in utc, while with unix-time a normal way to handle it is to repeat 23:59:59 twice (non-monotonic).

It definitely is if you want a 100% correct and 100% certain answer. But if you accept 3 categories 1: this we know is used 2: this we know is not used, 3 this we don't know anything about, then it's doable.

Your evaluation of the price might not scale linearly with the money amount, making it a fault to focus to much on the expected value. Example 1: you own the mafia 1 million dollar, pay tomorrow or die. You have absolutely no way to get the
