We don't have to reverse the process of creating energy from fuel. Firstly, we only need to seperate carbon and oxygen. Secondly, we get thousands of times more energy from the sun than we need. So even if seperating carbon and oxygen

Isn't carbon capture harder than emitting carbon That's the question. To burn coal, we have to dig it up from the ground. Is it possible that we one day find a way to "dig it up from the air" instead which is &

Literally all ideas about man made climate change are quickly revealed to be just fantasy if you think about one simple thing: how much CO2 do we need to produce to change the global climate? The answer is that we need to produce almost 10B

Unfortunately it also is a daemon that constantly runs on your machine even when you don't use Docker at all. Which keeps all kind of mounts and virtual networks alive that you don't need and that interfere with other things you w

My problem with Elixir is that the syntax is too noisy: defmodule Math do def sum(a, b) do a+b end end Compare that with Python: def sum(a, b): return a+b Having the name of the file

Because it's a playground for scammers So is the internet. My theory is that HN (like people in general) simply hates change.

Freelancing sites like Upwork are probably my next go-to, even if it rattles my pride and my usual rate, at least I won’t be homeless and starving. There is nothing bad about doing gigs on freelance sites.

I don't think you can download full resolution Pixabay images from Bing or Google.

Is this legal? I would expect image libraries prohibit this type of usage in ther TOS. Why would they do all the hard work and then let someone else build a similar service on top of it? Pixabay for example prohibits distributing their cont
