Yep, but hydro dams are used to control floods too, so they save people from floods as part of their operation. An improperly maintained dam can increase risk of flood, of course. See also: https://energypedia.info/wiki&#x2F

I have no idea where you got these numbers, but nuclear energy is good for base load, while batteries are good for handling load peaks. These two types of load are very different. With big batteries, nuclear energy can be accumulated at nig

BTW, nuclear energy will be cheaper with massive power storage, because nuclear power can be accumulated at night then.

What you propose to use instead of dams in place of flood protection?

Massive energy storage can^W will be built in fraction of time needed to build and then demolish a nuclear power plant.

Maybe we should use phase instead of voltage level. For terahertz computations we will need completely different physics anyway. For example, p-p-p can encode 0, p--p-p — +1, p-p--p — -1, where p is pulse.

I use Marker markdown editor + MathJax + embedded JavaScript to achieve similar results.

1) If we put a very small box around the heat pump, then we will see that temperature in the box increases at constant rate, because of energy loses at the pump. I.e., it will work as a resistive heater, by converting 100% of input electric

You can create your own repository, where you will be maintainer of your packages. You can use it locally, as directory on disk, or you can put it on a server and share with others, or you can compile it using openSUSE Build Service, which

English is not my native language. Did I use the word "ambient" properly?
917.
by drran 6y ago
Ambient heat is not a "heat taken in", because you don't need to supply it. Usually, heat is taken out from the system and dissipate as ambient heat, so a heat pump can use the same heat again and again, without exhausting of

Are you trying to liquify vacuum? It's challenging. Try to use a heat pump based on the Casemir effect, fluctuating virtual particles violate the energy conservation of the system for short periods.

Definition of efficiency (from Google): the ratio of the useful work performed by a machine or in a process to the total energy expended or heat taken in. Heat pumps are >100% efficient. Usually, we cannot convert all input energy into u

If you want for your software to work everywhere, but you want to avoid compilation step, then use Perl/Python/PHP with bindings to QT/GTK. Linux has perfect backward compatibility, I still able to compile and run 70 years ol

I see no problem to bump versions of a few packages, rebuild them, and install them via system package manager. Are you developer or user? Of course, some software may not work after that, but package manager newer stays in your way, unless

CPAN exists since 1993, online since 1995. CPAN has the package manager, which is able to install perl software with their dependencies. It's not a new, unknown technology. If you are sure that you can create functional, stable, bug fr

It's why we like to use LGPL for libraries: if you ship statically linked software, ship your source too, so we will be able to patch and recompile.

Rust in Fedora is compiled with system LLVM (libLLVM-11.so). Enjoy.

It's temporary, I'm sure. When broken software or a weaponized patch will slip through weak fence of maintainers and then break critical infrastructure, Congress will vote for something to stop that.
