As another example, in April this year, Washington generated 73% of its electricity from non-carbon sources (Hydro, Other Renewables, and Nuclear). This number varies throughout the year of course. Some months have Hydroelectric production

Ah yes, back in the days when money was based on the gold standard we never had recessions or depressions!

Sure, but we've all heard of Cuckoo's Nest, very few have heard of the others.

Not the internet as we know it today, but I wouldn't be surprised if some isolated departments experimented with dial-in services back then. If you could make a phone call and you had a modem, you could connect to a remote terminal.

Sort of. It uses a pre-defined transformation that doesn't interfere with street navigation. If you're on a street it will precisely reflect that value as well as any other GPS. But it makes it difficult to perform purely GPS-base

Sourdough was the only sliced bread I could find at my supermarket that didn't contain any added sugar and also wasn't ridiculously overpriced. That's been the only bread I've used for over a year now, and regular Americ

The Vulkan situation on Apple is incredibly funny, especially once you look at the landscape of gaming. There's games out there (I believe Final Fantasy XIV is like this) where the official Mac client runs in wine, using a DirectX -&gt

This is one area where I think legalization has helped. In my state, I can now get an inhaler using the same basic tech as asthma inhalers, and it can fairly precisely dose 2.5mg of THC per activation. Added benefit, completely smokeless. E

UART is available on nearly every microcontroller under the sun, and USB<->UART serial chips are super cheap, so it makes complete sense to me that'd become the defacto system for interfacing the automation controller with a comp

The first release was 16 years ago and they're still making new releases of it so I'd say it's definitely here to stay ;)

In terms of comparing how countries do at the basics it would probably make sense to only compare the infant mortality for babies that were carried to the full term, or within a few days at least. I'm not sure if there's global da

This is one of the traps when you go for the naive approach to framerate independence: simply using the frame delta for stepping your calculations. Results for physics engines are very wacky! It's usually better to step your physics en

Not every object in an RAII language needs a destructor, e.g. objects that don't manage their own memory because they came from an arena

by connicpu 4y ago
I would argue RAII is still a type of automatic memory management, but it has the determinism and ability to reason about what's going on the same way fully manual management does.

by connicpu 4y ago
Which is why low level languages like C++ and Rust make RAII the default in their standard library (easy, simple), but it's still completely possible to manage the memory on your own if that's necessary for the task at hand. Havin

There's the third option, which is what Rust and C++ do by default, where types have destructors that are run when the value goes out of scope, but also have mechanisms to be activated manually at a precise moment if you know what you&

Lots of American bread is full of added sugar, but if you look around in the bread aisle you can almost always find a loaf without sugar in its ingredients list. Sourdough is one of my favorites because it rarely has added sugar, and can st

Subpoenaing footage also has more than "no bar" as they still have to convince a judge to approve it

The trouble with that specifically for audio, if you never test it on anything else you might miss things like crackles that only happen on speakers capable of producing crackles in that frequency range

But will we be punished for thinking it? Or will the chip simply cut off such trains of thought in the first place? :) "Revolutionary new brain implant improves mental health by suppressing damaging* trains of thought"
