Killed, in the sense of no one ever migrated? Certainly not. Killed, in the sense of hugely impacting the eco system and the community? Quite regularly. Python seems to finally mostly have made the transition, but there is just a lot of so

You might be allocating on the heap, but if you know in advance that the allocated memory never goes out of scope, then switching off the gc is quite reasonable.

I am quite interested, but a bit sceptic. On the one side, it would be great to have a language which you can learn in a couple of weeks due to its simplicity and small vocabulary. On the other side, as a programmer I immediately get the no

First of all, a properly insulated house won't need a huge warming up. And for that, there are timers or these days there is this thing called internet, which allows you to control your home devices from afar. Actually, I think most tr

People often seem to think that climate change eventually will lead to a catastrophic event, but before that they can live as always and are not concerned. And with some luck, that event would be in some indetermined future. But that is not

Yes, it will of course absorb or reflect the red light like any stone would, but to "charge" its luminiszence you need at least green light - blue works great. That is, why you never could charge your watch dial with incandescent

Yes, as others already said, superconductors are zero resistance. Which is easy to check if you have enough of the substance to run meaninful currents through it. There might be miniscule amounts of resistance for contacting and impurities,

Right. From my own experience, growing crystals is close to alchemy. Of course we know exactly how to do it, yet, it takes a lot of skill to grow a lot of substances. There are a lot of detaills to the process which are difficult to capture

The problem with the IPC approach isn't error handling - in the error case a good string is usually fine. The problem is with parsing the output of the sub process. A library can return structured data. Parsing always has the risk of f

I wouldn't mind the $8 per month for a platform I use frequently if I get some nice benefits in usage and this enhances the quality of the platform. It is a bit naive to think such a service could be obtained for free. However, beyond

One thing to remember about Chernobyl is, it isn't only the exclusion zone which has been contaminated, but places all over Europe got radioactive contamination too. In Bavaria this affects mostly the forests (the agricultural areas ha

The article is about shutting down the reactors at the 31.12.22. As you know, they were not shut down at that date but ran some months more. That doesn't say anything about the long term maintenance requirements. And in any case they w

No, that is not true. Maintenance was done with the respect to the planned life time. They couldn't just have kept running. That the previous government didn't knew about the Russian war onto Ukraine makes no difference. Gas price

Actually China seems to be ahead of their own plans and Chinese emissions might peak in 24 and decline from that point on as they are rolling out renewables at an astonishing pace.

It is dishonest to claim the decision could have been reverted in the last 3 months. They were in no shape to be kept running. First of all, the fuel rods were spent and would have to be ordered and would have had long delivery times. But t

No, we didn't. Germany constantly reduced the am amount of coal in the mix. Admittedly starting at a way to high level, but it was constantly reduced. One can argue that the reduction could have been faster, but that are the mistakes o

The current coalition did no such thing. They just came into power weeks before 3 of the 6 were switched off. At which point it wouldn't have been reasonable to reverse the decision to get rid of the last 6 reactors. A decision, which
