The powerwall 1 (are they still selling them?) is at exactly that price point, albeit with half the energy storage capacity.

Another issue both versions have is that they will not tolerate head being NULL. Don't be afraid of double pointers, although they may seem overly clever at first glance, they can be really helpful for situations like this. Linus'

This is good advice in general, but seems a bit misapplied here- most eye doctors are likely to make more from selling you unnecessary services now then by subtly lying to you in order to damage your eyes :).

It's worth noting that much of this risk is due to low property taxes and NIMBY policies legally restricting supply making houses unnecessarily expensive. If land tax were, say, 10% of land value, then buying a house would be at least

How does the differentiation part of this work? Is it just gradient descent, or something more clever than that? It seems like it ought to need to trace the data flows, but there doesn't seem to be the machinery to do so in the code. T

There's no way that's true, the benefits of the grid will ensure it always exists in cities. It guarantees 24/7 power for all citizens, smooths out regional hiccups (i.e. if it's cloudy in one region), and allows better

While your comparison to wheelchair ramps seems analogous, it in fact has a significant flaw. Wheelchair ramps cost the business almost nothing to build relative to the cost of operating the business. The tax for these sort of physical acco

That's not a good comparison, not complying with health regulations substantially devalues the food given away, because of the significantly increased risk of illness resulting from consumption of said food. Your second statement is ir

Yes, exactly, this is targeting peak memory consumption, but doesn't mention anything about average memory consumption (which is probably what you would care about for your electron app).

Well, you are both right. Compensation is set by the market, but the ceiling for compensation to perform a task is (roughly) the amount of value that a employee can generate, in a rational market. Of course, our market is far from rational,

What would you prefer that they relied on? In my experience, it tends to be the least biased of available sources; books are usually sold to promote a particular agenda, news articles are devoid of content and without citations. At least on

I'm not convinced that "study" says much of anything, since they almost certainly edited the video to show the responses they wanted, and besides, they didn't calibrate their scale properly. If you gave a bunch of random

The performance is way better. Callgrind/cachegrind operates as a cpu-level emulator (i.e. software emulating individual CPU instructions), while perf is a sampling profiler. This means you lose ~0 performance using perf, but at leas

Thanks for a terrifying read! I shudder to think what sort of (now essentially solved) problems the engineers on those teams must have to deal with. I mean, if their code page doesn't even support [, {, }, or ], then imagine what mus

Donald Trump is a problem, yes, although arguably for bigger reasons than just his stance on climate change. Ted Cruz is from Texas, so... :). I'm not sure where you get the impression that Hillary Clinton thinks climate change is &quo

2%/year is pretty inconsequential. Consider that the average inflation rate is 3-4%/year[1][2], and houses generally tend to increase in value at roughly the same rate as inflation[3]. Thus, your property taxes are expected to g

What? These are overloads for smart pointers, not regular pointers, and thus require special code to get the semantics of regular pointers that are usually expected and desired by developers. Even the standard library unique_ptr overloads t

Well, in this (simple) case you can just do int *foo; foo = malloc(sizeof(*foo)); And avoid the brittleness mentioned.

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but isn't this trivial to solve by just having a deduping filter at the lower level? When the higher level starts keeps sending duplicate packets, just ignore them. Duplicate packets at this

That's an interesting perspective. I mean, today, it seems impossible to imagine any use case for > 100Mb/s. After all, it can stream 4k HD video! But I think the very way we use computers is restricted by what is possible on c
