Wouldn't work for me, as the {Get,Add}-Azure* scripts are windows/powershell-only. But then again, existence of CLI tools means there's an API. So, with a bit of luck, we might one day see a portable CLI tool (maybe boto3 [1]

One cubic centimetre of water at 4 degrees Celsius used to define one gram (or more precisely one litre -> one kilogram, which comes out to be the exact same thing) [1], [2]. Although 1 cm^3 of water is still pretty damn close to 1g.

Article's author also confuses units: "The entire planet’s electrical consumption is right around 5 terawatt-hours." ...consumption is of course power, i.e. watts, not energy, i.e. watt-hours. That is not to mentio

3 different kinds of NaNs is pretty rad too. No idea what's happening here: >>> x = 0*1e400 >>> set({x, x, float(x), float(x), 0*1e400, 0*1e400}) set([nan, nan, nan]) >>> set({x, float(x), 0*1e4

It is a moot point. Having seen (but not driven) model S, I can't say it looks big enough to warrant comparison to a 7-series, and even then latter is 1800kg [0], so Model S is still 17% heavier or causing 1.85 times road wear. Point a

Following that logic, it would make more sense for systemd team to get an own language, something with traits of rust, go and haskell, and port everything to that, at which point it wouldn't be much of a stretch to drop libc and with i
