Ukraine repeatedly has being asking for strong air defense. This is their weakest stance against Russia that Russia now takes advantage to the full extend. Ukraine does not ask for soldiers.

Molten solt reactors do not solve the problem of nuclear waste. It is very expensive to deal with it as it has to be stored for hundreds of years unless some technology would appear to separate that cheaply. Fusion produce like order of mag

This was with previous designs of fusion reactors. Read about proposed Ark and currently constructing Spark reactors. By using stronger superconductive magnets it was possible to reduce the size of the plant by order of magnitude. Spark eve

I had for few years Yaris hybrid from Toyota. It turned out maintenance was costly due to a design bug. Yaris had advanced regenerative braking similar to Prius. As the result the brakes did not get hot. In turn under rainy Norwegian weathe

But then the cars do not need to be electric! A hybrid with a small battery will suite this as well and, given the current price of batteries, will be cheaper.

Well, you have asked for it and I wrote initially “speculations” without citing this. The idea that complex protein molecules may absorb 5-50 GHz radiation via proposed mechanism in the paper is at least plausible and the calculations from

It is more subtle than that. There are various protein molecules that vibrate inside the cells as a part of their normal functions including those responsible for immune system functions. As such there are absorption spectra due to resonanc

It is not a matter of simple pilot training. It turned out pilots had only 10 seconds to disable the system after that it would be too late. This is exactly what happened at the second crash. The disable switch was pushed but it was not po

If the current model stays in place, then there would be no possibility to reconcile the de-facto fork of C++ into code disabling exceptions and code using it with the former can be running on more CPUs than the latter. In turn that leads t

Note Google explicitly configure runtime to instantly crash on memory allocation errors. With that STL works indeed nicely without exceptions.

It is not trivial in practice to make code safe in presence of exceptions even if one follows the best C++ practices. The errors can be very subtle and hard to identify. It is another reason besides the performance and code bloat why Chromi

I like how Zig implements exceptions. It is similar to the restricted exception value type proposal for C++, but it also has a nice bonus of recording some stack trace on the unwind path. Plus in Zig any call to a function has to either cat

Another problematic area is RTTI and dynamic_cast. Chromium disables both that and exceptions. As a replacement in few places where dynamic_cast can be useful Chromium adds a virtual function to the base class to return the subclass or null

Downhill ski is much easier and safer to learn. I did it in one hour together with an instructor when I was 25. I felt only couple of times. And I was with another novice, so not all attention was on me. This was a common experience among

The speed is fixable. Performant AOT is very possible with Typescript. But if Facebook is not doing it, then the performance is good enough for them. Plus one can always code the problematic part in the native language.
