I wonder what would have happened in the absence of coal/fossils. Obviously anything requiring higher temperatures than possible with charcoal would have been off limits for a longer period. But what would have powered an industrial re

I am only little surprised that it works; after all, compiling a program for two platforms results in a mostly equivalent control flow graphs, except for optimizations and different code gen strategies (*); and of course platform specific s

Copying files has the disadvantage of requiring some merge mechanism, or not permitting parallel modification. I found vaultwarden to be a nice alternative. It runs on my server at home, to which I connect the relevant devices by VPN. It st

Got the 9310 dev edition as well. With 32GB of RAM, the biggest CPU and the touch screen (not 4k). However, since I wanted US keyboard layout (living in EU) & ordered via my employer, I had to go through our sales representative anyway;

The same attacks can likely also be used to capture verification emails. E.g. for DNS if you can spoof TXT records for Gmail using some malicious server, chances are you can also spoof MX records. And I can't think of shenanigans with

Really depends on the program. A friend taught CS in the US, Germany and now UK, and (Sanierung to him) the German university has the hardest requirements of the three. One barrier are also tedious requirements like "do the exercises a

I think "it depends". For someone living in the same city as you, but having both their apartment and place of work connected by a more feasible public transport route, a bike competes with public transport. For me it augments it:

I'm not quite sure about the fact that ebikes become cheaper. Theoretically yes and practically "somewhat": But a lot of people are convinced that e.g. the 1k€ ebike sold by Aldi must be crap and you need to get one of the mo

Btw, a lot of bad things are already present as compile time warnings. Using -Wall -Werror (or similar) should already the default for new projects for well over a decade. You probably know that, but "stealing" stuff from there is

I hate writing proper C++ casts because C style is just shorter (e.g. (T)(foobar)), and have to force myself to write the whole invocation. So yeah, not even having the lazy option wouldn't be too bad :)

- define the evaluation order for function parameters, e.g. f(a(), b()) [or is that well defined in modern C++?] - allow for named arguments. E.g. let's say for the definition f(int a = 12, int b = 42), one might call f(b: 1337) or f(1

Nice job! I did start on my own PCBs for a wireless split with all the nice stuff and dang, it's really not that easy. I gave up at 80% done because someone else did a very similar design (except wireless), plus the necessary stuff lik

Good question. Maybe you should do an Ask HN for that? (Don't forget to check the search in case there already was one).

The baseline is not zero GW. If the grid planned for 35 to 40GW of demand for today and then sees 42GW load, the 0.125GW are over 5% of the excess load. Serving baseline from batteries is unrealistic and will be for quite some time. Smoot

You could try to integrate into another VPP. If there is none (or no suitable) you have to either wait until someone starts one, or take the initiative ;) //Edit: I suppose only allowing Tesla is for two reasons: 1. They can do th

At least UK and Germany also have virtual power plants for various purposes. It's a smart way to handle peak demand and it's great that Tesla allows regular people to participate (and profit) from this [edit]so easily[/edit].

This varies widely depending on the issuer of the ATM, at least in my part of the EU (SW Germany). My banking group has (I guess) >90% of their ATMs indoors; I can only think of ever using 4 or 5 locations that were outdoors (my dataset

I did not have critique in mind when I wrote that comment. I merely stated what I expected to happen without voicing my judgment. But assuming the 1. outcome is both morally "bad", 2. and a realistic prediction, 3. which happens t

Not everyone lives in the US ;) Around here we cast votes on paper and then use computer assisted verification & counting.

If I had no morals, I'd already be selling crap like "nuclear power filters" and useless resonator circuits for "charging water" ;) But I prefer useful contributions to society.

The original post never said they were using these lists to send unsolicited emails. It's your assumption they are a spammer; while I said I can imagine non-nefarious reasons to collect these lists. For example: A lot of pentesting com

I'm not happy with ZigBee: Only a single, flaky edge between two floors means one floor sometimes craps out and can't be talked to by the coordinator/home assistant. The WiFi devices (Shelly&Sonoff) are much better thanks

Yeah, HoN was the first of my catch-alls to receive spam. Idiots didn't even acknowledge that they have been compromised and insisted that obviously I did use hon@mail.mydomain.tld somewhere else. These days I'd use the opportunit

Depends on where you live. Around here (SW Germany) non-induction electric stoves with resistive heating elements under a special glass ("Ceranfeld") are much more common for home-use than gas. So when these fail, swapping to in

I feel very much the same :) Maybe we both "just" need to find a niche (or simple enough) product that can be started as an extended hobby. But I fear these are often not very interesting or won't even make us millionaires. H
