That book described total energy expenditure for an individual per distance traveled. It does not improves much even after years of training. It is interesting that for running the efficiency does not depend on speed as wind drag does not c

Energy efficiency per distance of running improves very little with training. According to the book “Burn” by Herman Pontzer we are talking about few percents, not even 10%.

In Oslo, Norway there is a lot of demand for aparments below 40m2 for young couples. 60m2 is considered OK for a family with 2 kids as long as floor plan is reasonable.

Even heavy oil for boilers requires some energy to produce from raw oil. Plus there are transportation losses. They are less than transport losses for electricity but not much.

I live in an apartment in Norway where an air heat pump is not allowed by regulations and the ground source is way too expensive even with the current electricity prices and will take years to get approval as the area is considered a histor

A linked list is not cache friendly unless the nodes are allocated mostly nearby. But if one can ensure such allocation, then why not to use an array or at least a list of small arrays?

In winter if one uses resistive electrical heating and where heat pumps are not allowed like in some apartment blocks mining can be free as the consumed electricity just heats the home.

Electrical slowdown in hybrids does not provide redundancy for emergency braking. The battery has to absorb like 500kWt during 1s, this is well outside what a small battery can do.

Thread-local variables are implemented using a reserved register. Essentially thread-locals in C++ are the hidden context.

This is similar to Norway rules. By the law only legal entities registered in Norway can have .no domain. If an organization cease to exist or stops to have a legal presence in the country then the domain must be returned within one year.

Running a VM is not necessary more secure than running a container. By definition VM allows to run an untrusted kernel code which makes exploiting curtain bugs more feasible. This is especially so with hardware bugs. What is fundamentally m

At the end the article claimed that censorship prevented creation of good movies. In Soviet Union a few good movies were made despite draconian censorship. Then after abolishment of all censorship there were less good films from former USSR

The article does state the reasons for the rules and gives examples how not following them may lead to troubles.

Nice to know, thanks for pointing this out.

gzip has rsync-friendly mode allowing for much smaller deltas between files during rsync transfer or backups that use rsync-compatible algorithms. No other compressor implements that as far as I know.

The code only uses UTF-32 in regular expressions where I suppose it was much simpler to adopt the older code. The rest uses UTF-8.

Compared with cows or sheep pigs eat what humans can eat, so growing pigs means wasting a lot of food that could be fed to people. Many historians argue that this was the primary reason why pork was banned in Islam and Judaism, not because

I read similar things about new factories in Norway like 150 years ago. From our look it was terrible with 11 hours shifts, no vacations, child labor etc. But at that time people who worked there actually preferred that since the alternativ

As was stated in another comments, it reduces the production cost. Screen is needed for navigation, so why not use it for other stuff?

Again, due to SNI tracking sites that one visits is possible even if DNS traffic is encrypted. At the very least one needs for the site to support ESNI or encrypted-site-name-identification. But then in practice for ESNI to be effective on

To support multiple sites per IP the browser has to send DNS name of the site to the web server. Moreover, since certificates that the server uses for encryption depends on the site name, the name cannot be encrypted within HTTPS. So the b

Is the point of React Native to use native GUI elements and not to emulate the platform look and feel? A few years ago I worked on Java application using SWT. It looked very OK on Linux/Mac/Windows. Even original AWT in Java was c

HTTPS typically still have the site domain in clear due to SNI.

Most of the extra energy usage will come from cars charging at night when the demand is low. So there is no need to build new power stations, it will be sufficient to run the existing ones at full capacity at night.

I read different take on that. There is a recent hypothesis that humans has a budget of energy that is spent each day independent of calorie intake, like 2500 kkal for a male, unless the body switches to the starvation mode with persistent

The observation about wind proof outer layer is spot on. On the other hand the jacket from the link is too short for my taste. It requires special trousers to match. One needs something that reaches knees to stay warm in lighter trousers.

Eskimo people have a mutation related to metabolism that prevents going to keto state when eating mostly meat. That alone can make proposed mechanism not working for them. Plus the persistent cold exposure may not be there due to warm cloth

The problem with permafrost is not that it melts, but rather that it melts during summer and freezes during winter. To build on it one has to drive piles into the ground and build on top of those. Then there are two cases. First is when the

For countries like Russia and to lesser extend Canada the models show that they will benefit from the global warming. Basically they will get more agricultural land and ice-free Arctic will open more transportation routes. Plus they will n

One more thing. It is not true that stars simply fly through. Already in the second-order approximation in GR there are forces that behave like Lorentz force of electromagnetism perpendicular to the line of movement. Granted this a small ef
