There are good energy efficient solutions to heating that use electricity. Here in Sweden the most common solution for new houses is the downhole heat exchanger [1]. If you want a cheaper initial investment an air heat pump can be used. [

Turns out that that boring stuff - type theory - they throw at you in uni, can be quite useful. Not only can it help with things like memory safety but also with speed. This is why for instance C++ std::sort() is faster than C qsort(), be

Well, rereading what I wrote I was maybe not so clear on that. If you are just waiting for the attraction to come back, chances are that it doesn't, even though it certainly could. It all depends on the reason that attraction disappe

The downside of that is that all code is in the header. As in you will compile all the library code whenever you include the header. As third-party library code is something you probably seldom change yourself, you don't want your buil

Nope, this is silly. Mutual attraction is what leads you to become couples in the first place. The physical part of attraction is what leads you to notice the other person and then building an emotional bond with each other will increase th

Yes, and that is what I said in my very first post in this thread. Still you need to handle the counters in SW, do the XORs in SW (unless you have some HW that does that for you as well) and then if you want CCM you need to solve CBCMAC (ma
