No they mostly back Shia groups. You won't see then supporting ISIS.

Because they love to destabilize the region through their proxies. Look at their good work now: Yemen at war (they sponsor Houthi rebels), Israel at war (they sponsor Hamas and Hezbollah) and look at the state of Lebanon now (they also play

And also the only way they could embed logic into objects was through some very convoluted physical mechanism.

It will inevitably come back in some form in the long term as air traffic keeps increasing. It's much harder to build a new runway and a new terminal in busy airports (ask Heathrow) than to add a floor to a plane.

But was that door specific to the max? I would assume previous generations of B737 had the exact same door. It seems to me that this is more an indictment of Boeing's manufacturing than a design flaw specific to the max (well, we will

I just asked myself the question for SQL's AND and OR this week. Apparently AND takes precedence but I don't know if it is consistent accross all SQL engines. In any case it seems to me that few programers will know anyway, so it

What strikes me with the ATC recording is that I can barely hear what they say (and that's the case with almost every ATC recording I heard before). And that's without being in a noisy environment (plane in flight). Is the quality

Custom number parsing, minimising the number of memory allocations to not be punished by the garbage collector. All sort of micro optimisations that make those solutions a terrible way to showcase a language (i.e. you can write much clearer

Looking at some solutions they seem to include their own double parsing implementation. I built a home made serializer for csv files, I am using the default .net parsing functions and I find that parsing numbers/dates is by far the slo

You don't even need to bug your users with those pain-in-the-ass 2FA. Just don't let them chose a password, send them a strong random one by email when they signup. If their mailbox is compromised, it is game over anyway as it all

Doesn’t that get mostly optimised away by the cpu branch prediction?

Also it may or may not be relevant to not exclude the warm up time for JIT languages. If it is for a calculation you will do continuously, including the warm up time may bias the results materially (I know for .net it can be significant).

it's a campus you get fired/rescinded/expelled for micro-aggressions and the slightlest transgression to political correctness. So the "it depends" could only be interpreted that way. https://www.nytimes.

I find it sad that she has to resign for that and not for covering for the blattant antisemitism of the campus.

The numbers look surprising to me if not dodgy. Like why is "web hosting service" the number 1 result on 27th and not even on the list the day before or after. It isn't really a topical article. Also even for the topical arti

No it doesn't. Whether Solar has a 10% or 25% average load doesn't matter, you need to build something else to deal with needing power at night.

by cm2187 3y ago
I hear a lot of magical thinking about wind and solar too, with some magical pixie dust solving the intermittence problem but nothing practical being built at scale.
833.
by cm2187 3y ago
You can't solve the variability of wind by overbuilding. Output can go down to <5% for more than a week several times a year. So the only way is storage. On a massive scale. Or having another source that makes sense to modulate. LNG

by cm2187 3y ago
Cost of solar in isolation is meaningless. You need to factor in the cost of dealing with its intermittency, i.e. no power at night, variable power during daylight.

by cm2187 3y ago
It doesn't make any sense to use nuclear as a standby source of power. Nuclear costs pretty much the same whether you use it or not, so it doesn't make any sense to build it and leave it off. So if you build a nuclear power plant,

Having watched the video, yours is the only intuitive explaination that talks to me.

by cm2187 3y ago
Well not the least because you need these alternative sources when the wind doesn't blow or at night. For all the noise about including externalities in the cost of oil, the quoted cost of solar and wind almost never includes the infra

And also for a new prototype reactor built every 10 years. If you build them in series like France did in the 70/80s or China now the cost would be greatly less. Only billionaires could afford the cheap smartphone you have in your pock

I prefer James Purefoy's performance in Rome, playing a more thuggish (and probably more realistic) Mark Antony.
