Maybe you are right. But to me, JavaEE somehow associates with managing applications through the Application Server’s admin panel, registering EJBs with deployment descriptors, etc.

I think bad rep is partly because Spring (and Spring Boot), Quarkus, etc. don’t need any Glassfish or Websphere and can be deployed barebones or run in Docker containers without hassles of having to manage “application servers”.

Because I live in a third world country which is also very sunny, dry and hot like Arizona in the US. And while solar has become cheap enough that our utilities are starting implementing it, the storage is still too expensive if you want GW

Still not there yet. For grid storage we need batteries with 30+ years lifespan in harsh very hot/very cold weather conditions. They also need to be much cheaper per kW/h than current lithium ion tech.

I'm not an engineer but I attempted to do some napkin math in my comment in a previous topic about this CATL battery. I'll copy/paste: Assuming 400km worth of charge needs maybe 60 kw/h of energy, to deliver that amount

Assuming 400km worth of charge needs maybe 60 kw/h of energy, to deliver that amount of energy in 10 minutes would require at least 360kw charger. Charging just a few cars simultaneously will require megawatts of power. I wonder what a

Unfortunately, "cancer" is not one thing. We have to find different cures for many specific cancers.

Theoretically, there is no need for FTL. Ability to achieve relativistic speeds is enough for the space traveler to cross the galaxy in months or even hours (in his local time). Even flying to a different galaxy would be possible.

Isn't there a technology that makes fuels out of atmospheric carbon? That could use some of the overproduced cheap energy. Or use that energy to make hydrogen or what not. There are plenty of ways to use it indeed.

I mean, in 60-s and 70-s, France and US were stamping out nuclear reactors like hotdogs, building them literally by dozens. And they were moderately cheap. I don't know what happened afterwards, but now building a nuke plant has become

1 gigawatt solar is not the same as 1 gigawatt nuclear though. Also, building solar in Alaska or in Northern Canada would be a waste of money. But yes, a solar power plant is cheap and can be implemented almost instantly, it is a huge advan

Bhagavad Gita is in fact very philosophical and abstract, and mostly discusses spiritual matters. It’s very different from the Bible and Quran. Now, it would be very interesting to see what an Abrahamic AI would say as both the Bible and Qu

Shrapnel or bullets are large objects and obviously the body can’t get rid of them. Nanoplastic circulates in the bloodstream which is continuously refreshed, or sits somewhere in the cells which are continuously disposed of. Some toxins or

I’m not a biologist, but AFAIK just stopping new plastics inflow should be enough. The body continuously produces new cells to renew itself, including blood cells and what not, and this new material is plasticless. Don’t take new plastic, a

A few years ago, the authentication/authorization story was quite tough to configure in this setup. Did things change recently?

Nuclear would take hundreds of times less land area and preserve natural ecosystems. Also, technically it can be built anywhere, and it will be just as efficient, whereas solar is way less efficient outside of certain geographical latitudes

Would panels be even efficient for such a project though? I think concentrated solar is better in this case, as it generates power at night, more stable during weather changes, and not subject to heating issues.

JSWT is probably one the highest scientific ROI in the past decades, alongside the Large Hadron Collider.

That fear could be easily dealt with by stopping unfounded anti-nuclear fearmongering and a tiny bit of education.

As I see it, this old-school PWR design has successfully passed a real life crash test under the most severe conditions possible… three times in a row.

Pumped hydro also works if you have water at all, which my country doesn’t. So, some kind of new molten-salt reactor which doesn’t need water for cooling and can be built in the desert could work very well for us.

I think China has already deployed such a (Thorium cycle molten-salt) reactor in Gobi desert, with the plan to build commercial version of it in just a few years, and with the end goal of making it cheap and mass-produced.
