Sufficiently far up (and down I guess) it makes little sense at all, or does so for very small part of the year. There's nothing to be saved in the abundance of light all day in the summer, and nothing to be done for the darkness of wi

It is quite reasonably easy enough compared to any real practical programming task. For example: // your ordinary function declarations int plus2(int i) { return i + 2; } int times2(int i) { return i * 2; } typedef int

Different tax systems can affect the equation even if you disregard that you pay less at the pump for fuel that your car consumes less than a petrol equivalent – lower CO2 figures may also mean that you pay less yearly fees or less taxes on

Are you sure you know the target market you're speaking of? They're not coming from Android world, so they're probably used to exactly the kind of services these phones support.

Most definitely in Norway, Model S is significantly cheaper than E-class or 5-series, too.

With password generation, nothing really. If you want to choose the password yourself, it limits your options (for no good reason for the user).

It's not really a ban, although it does price out some from the market. Practically anyone who has a steady job could still afford a car (edit: even a new one I mean), although many choose not to, because it's not worth it for the

I've always thought the reason many cyclists treat red lights and stop signs mere warnings instead of rules is because it's annoying to have to speed up from standstill with your own power. IMO it's a flaw in human-powered ve

There are many types of highways. You might even call these rural roads just roads, even if they share the default speed limit for the area (80 km/h here). With very low traffic density, you might build the house closer to the road (ma

I take your stance is the same for train drivers, too? What an utterly silly opinion, anyway.

The companies here (not Germany) can afford to pay for the right to put electricity in the grid because they are guaranteed a fixed compensation by the state for all the renewable electricity produced – at a rate that's several times t

No one in history has designed a city for cars. People driving cars over other people perhaps, but for a subset of people regardless. AI is nowhere near the level of needing space.

Interesting. Personally, I find Windows quite unpleasant to use, even basic window management is a hassle (just an example: you have to target very small hit boxes for simple things like resizing and moving windows around, and default keyb

Did you also know that a sufficiently smart compiler can deduce the whole programming logic from English prose? It's just pretty hard to create one. Same applies to automatic optimizations in the general case: what do you exactly know

The way you write it, it almost reads as if it comes as a revelation that smaller, turbocharged engines can compete with larger, naturally aspirated ones in terms of power output. How can that be: F1 cars already boasted much more powerful

That's odd, considering vi is part of the POSIX specification and all. Many distributions won't come with full vim by default, but most do install a trimmed version of it to fulfil the role of vi.

That doesn't make any sense. Just think how much power the engine would have to be able to produce near the redline if it produced anything decent at 5 MPH for that to be true (considering that Tesla's mainstream cars only have 1
