However Factorio lacks refactoring tools, tests and source control. If your code feels very similar to your bases maybe you're not using these things enough...

Are all PM2.5 equal ? It seems weird to me to lump into one category various things like car exhaust, wood fires or agricultural emissions.

Rough order of magnitude calculation, the Earth receives about 1000W/m^2, that's 6370km^2 * pi * 1000W/M2 ~ 1e17W, and according to Wikipedia the global energy use of humanity is 7050 millions tons of oil equivalent per year

Are we sure about that ? I must admit I'm not a geologist, but CO2 has a different chemistry as methane, it becomes acid when dissolved in water, how would rocks behave when exposed to acid for thousands of years ? Are the rocks still

> "Hydrogen is the ultimate clean energy." This is a lie pushed by oil companies. First it is incorrect because hydrogen is not a natural energy source, it is a way to store energy. But above all, currently the vast majority o

These are not rare earths, rare earths are a family of chemically similar elements close together in the periodic table that are not actually that rare geologically. Platinum and iridium are just rare elements.

It's not distinct, the second action depends on the first one being finished. I think this highlights that AI assistants are not really "I", they are good at doing fuzzy, hard to specify things like understanding speech, but

I think it's an interesting question, it got me thinking a little bit (ianap). If you break down thinks at the microscopic level, angular momentum seems to not be a thing in itself, but rather a combination of momentum and some force t

Agreed, I think the utilitarian approach that goes something like "let N and M be two integers so that N > M, then N human lives are worth more that M human lives" (with subtleties related to age and so forth) is very, very dan

It's going to be interesting because it's in Germany, which is in Europe. There's been a recent court case in France that ruled that copyright claims based on the GPL were invalid because it is a contract, and you can't

The article mentions that circuit 23 was found using an "exhaustive search", so presumably using an automated means. But I don't think that works in the general case to find all "useful" circuits. For example figure

That's basically what's going on with ITER, it needs to be so massive because the technology available at the time of conception was not capable of generating more intense magnetic field. There is a very strong relationship betwee

Seems like it depends a lot on the local practices. Here in France the vast majority of mortgages are fixed rate and term. I'm probably a pessimist but it seems way to risky to take a variable rate, who knows what the future will hold

Yes, and now they've reached a dead since they have no way to render mermaid source code except as plain text or by introducing a new name like mermaid-src. It's minor but it's unsatisfying conceptually. I'd rather have

A code block is used to display text literally, except adding syntax coloring. You would use it to display TeX source notation for example. A math block transforms TeX into something else, it's entirely different. I think it's cor

It's a music box that produces sound electronically, as opposed to traditional mechanical ones. I don't think it is that foreign of a concept. It might be present, or not, in the search results, it depends entirely on the niche an

This made me curious to try that search engine so I typed "electronic music box" (first thing that came to mind). As far as I can tell none or the 10+ pages of results include all those 3 words. I mean, you might not have any rele

I'll have a bit of a contrarian opinion here: if you publish some software there is at least an implied notion that it allows to solve some problem (license terms notwithstanding). For example if you go to the home page for this blog t
