Can you refer me to any project you are speaking about? I consider it possible that they were planning new nuclear stations before the war, but since the war and the constant nuclear thread by the russians, I would be very surprised if the

Banning sulfur isn't "good intentions". It is a quite necessary step for protecting the environment. It is just that it for a while downplayed the severity of the climate change already happening. So of course the right step

Not at all. If you just reference to a package by its name, that is good enough for a compiler. I think automatic download of packages from third party sites doesn't belong into a language and its native tooling. The downloading and in

One big disadvantage of using the domain name in the module specification is, that as a package provider, you are kind of permanentely chained to the hosting provider of your choice, e.g. github.com. Moving your package would destroy its &q

At least with respect to the influence of the Earths rotation. With respect to compensating actual camera shake, the modern systems correct 5 axis's. 3 for rotation around the 3 space axis's, and 2 translational, which leaves only

Version 2 sounds to me as the probably reason for the ability of Cameras like the OM1-2 to go over 8 stops. Yes, it is probably not a simple task to measure the earths drift with the gyroscopes, but there is one thing that might help: the f

The relevant "speed" is the change of the direction you are pointing at. The Earth rotates around itself in 24 hours, but around the Sun in 365 days, so the daily rotation is 365x as fast. We also rotate around the center of the M

I saw them yesterday mostly as light grey clouds. But at one moment, those clouds turned slightly red to me. I am at a very bright location and quite far to the south. So I only can assume, that their brightness was at the brink of color vi

It really depends how far south you are and how strong the solar storm will get. You should look for some dark place close up. But it might be, that it is only visible on the northern parts of the US. Even seeing it there is quite uncommon.

They are for those tasks, where you do need high performance. Where you would wait for your device instead. A few tasks require all cpu power you can get, so that is what the performance cores are for. But most of the time, it will consume

If you are not in a hurry, you almost never should buy new hardware as the next generation will be around the corner. On the other side, it could be up to 12 months, until the M4 is available across the line. And for most tasks, a M3 is a g

It has 6 efficiency cores. Every single of them is extremely power efficient, but still faster than an iPad 2-3 generations back. So unless you go full throttle, a M4 is going to be by far the most efficient CPU you can have.

There is very little risk of anyone launching a major nuclear attack onto the US. The US would always be able to retaliate against such a strike. I would be more concerned about Trump doing something silly, either launching a nuclear strike

The thing is, there is less fear of a nuclear armageddon which would erradicate Russia as well, but the raising fear of a conventional attack of Russia against the rest of Europe. Of course that won't happen while Ukraine holds, but if

The fine initially would be up to 10% of the revenue. I don't see how that is outrageous if the violation of the law is there. The actual fine could be lower, but on the other side, the fine needs to be high enough that it can force th

If Apple halts their iPhone sales in the EU, they endanger their platform globally. Because suddenly a pretty large and important market would go 100% to Android. Also, Macs would become extinct pretty quickly in the EU.

Very different things. There is basically only one solar panel size on the market. Which starts at $100. Making large solar installations means just getting more panels. This is great for cost reduction, as that most of the times goes along

Well, yes. If you have a combustion engine or a turbine, Carnot tells you exactly the maximal efficiency you could achieve. But the exhaust still can be used for residental heating. So while the generator doesn't get any more efficient
