I don't think that heating with coal is a thing anymore. Power production is, though and that goes into electric cars or cooling buildings. Heating with electricity can be done quite efficiently via heat exchangers but is not used that

It's such a shame this company is not traded publicly. I would be willing to risk a couple of thousand of euros and bet on them being successful in the long run. A company like this has nearly infinite potential for growth.

The irony is that a blockchain is the perfect tool to get rid of any form of money laundering: A permanent public record of each transaction. You can always run a simple program that checks your financial history against a blacklist. Now th

Well, if the computer can recognize the situation it can always slow down, alert the driver, and eventually stop. That's the nice thing about cars: There's always a safe default mode. I suspect that the computer cannot recognize t

It's kind of interesting that this appears to happen with police cars and emergency vehicles mostly. Is there a particular way of parking such vehicles that makes it hard(er) for a Tesla to detect it? It might also indeed be about phan

Yes, it is different. With a car, no matter how modern, you still (used to) command where it drives you. In a smartphone, someone else makes this decision for you. (Or at least someone else limits your options.) There is obviously a differe

Shouldn't you also insulate the floor? If you did that, how did you retrofit insulation there?

I don't think there's a valuable heuristic. I would propose to go low (2 tasks in your case) and if you feel extremely motivated do some tasks from the next day (and consequently finish your week early if possible). Leftover time

I get this sentiment often, but I think it is incorrect. Software developers should not consider themselves artists - they should consider themselves designers. Yes, a designer has some freedom to express themselves, but mostly they should

Counter argument: If the experienced programmers stay where they are, software development will forever remain craftsmanship. A single developer can only tutor so many juniors. In fact, I think that teaching and encouraging to learn is the

The syntax is quite ... complex, I dare say. It looks like you borrowed from Haskell, which already makes it hard to gain an intuitive understanding of the syntax and added bars?

That virus is near 100% deadly and there's a vaccine. How comes that not everyone is vaccinated?

Ok, that's not a Darwin award. That's straightforward suicide-by-bat.

How about math? Complexity theory, all kinds of logic, computational theory, category theory?

by choeger 5y ago
That's simply not true. Software is grounded in mathematics. Most people just try to ignore that fact for convenience. There are, for instance, famous books written about which errors can be proven to be absent in your program and ho

Could someone enlighten me how laser fusion of prefabricated pellets (at least that's how I understand the idea in the article) can generate electricity? In a Tokamak or Stellarator, we collect heat on the outside, AFAIK and generate e

But why? What do I do with a forecast about wind speeds in urban areas? Let's be generous and say the forecast will be able to tell me one hour in advance about wind speed and direction on every street in my neighbourhood. Now I order

Unfortunately, they didn't follow up on the scanning part. How does that work? Ok, the allocator is obviously cooperating, but how do you get from scanning piece of C++ memory to the class of the object?

I think that's an astute observation. For families, even one hour of commute can be too much (depending on the job and details of childcare facilities) and people that have to show up every day (usually lower-wage positions) cannot mak

> If you want to get a holistic picture of what these systems actually cost, it comes down to up-front investment vs ongoing costs. That's one angle to look at it. As I said, in a country that has more or less static travel routes,

Where I live a car makes an average of 60km/h, outside of a city. It's often faster, and does no in-between stops. So it's 10min. And I do commute by train. 8km. And it takes 45min door to door. These are real-world numbers

Think again. These rails you seem to favor need energy to be built: Steel needs to be made, a track has to be cleared, machines need to operate, workers need to get to the construction site and so on and so forth. Unless you propose to deci

Let me guess, you work as a low-level manager? What you are suggesting is basically micromanagement-by-scrum. * Identification of tasks you didn't think of is a fallacy in software engineering. There are very few actual tasks when it c

Bad for you, because no one with a wrench would believe you. Here's a thought experiment: You are a hacker with a 100% (to your knowledge) secure notebook full of company secrets. I am an attacker and I have your son/daughter as a

Read OP's point again: You don't need security upgrades in many cases. Neither my dishwasher nor my fridge are, or should be, connected. I could imagine them having some kind of protocol for remote maintenance (showing power c

I'd say 30kph. I never understood the 25kph rule. Make 30kph the default speed limit in cities and let e-bikes drive with that speed on most roads, what's problematic with this approach? Are 5kph more really that more dangerous th

The author commits a logical fallacy, I think. The use cases aren't there yet, because pattern matching is missing. It's not the deconstruct statement that matters. But with it, you can work well with variants, which you couldn&#x
