Why don’t we just put overhead electric lines on highways for semis to pull electricity from, rather than lose weight on big batteries?

I think this has to do with the nature of the metric underneath. Closed-open intervals are the way to go for integers. However they don’t seen to be a good fit for sampling from continuuous space

Increase in total numbers or in proportion? Edit: the link above shows that in raw numbers, non-EU migration increased while EU decreased. Appears to not be a complete 1:1 replacement, though. I asked because if you only give the proportion

The thing that I find hard to defend is that plan9 turns all internal service / api calls into text based / filed based protocols, with parsing involved. This feels so inefficient and adhoc, and requires more documentation

Even in France there has been strong political opposition to support nuclear plants, their renovations and new development, so the situation in France is not indicative of a well run program. In particular no new development in a while mean

I've witnessed an interaction like this in the main Apple store in Berlin, where a woman came (with a friend) because she had an issue with having forgotten her password and wanting to get her photos back, which wasn't possible. T

It’s because I generally interact with people in my age group, i.e 10-15 years older than high schoolers. If you ask kids in some other countries, what do they say? influencers? youtuberd?

I guess I have to quote from it, then: --- C lets you do most of what C++ can if you rely on always_inline. This didn't used to be the case, but modern C compilers will meat-grind the code with repeated application of the following thi

Another perfectly good solution is to treat a C hashtable as a sort of acceleration index. That C hashtable then, rather than holding pointers simply holds `hashkey -> i` where i is the position into a typed array. I.e. your data structu

This only makes sense if they got into legal problems with a powerful entity which would have raised issues with software patents or copyright on the Our Machinery engine. Presumably also with some sort of NDA attached to it?

When I look back at it, I think the lowest common denominator it provided ensured at the very least we did not have the huge variance in quality of websites we have today, the broken date widgets, the pointless animations and branding. When

I don’t quite agree with amplifying the political or personal message of a murderer, as it seems like rewarding the act with publicity, encouraging more of it.

To make good cider you want to use special apples, which are not really nice to eat, otherwise the drink is very sour. They do this in the Frankfurt region of Germany, where it’s called apfelwein. They drink it diluted, which helps. Differe

I don't understand how to reconcile those like you who claim we are going to continue automating and adding more machines vs those who say that we have to reduce our energy expenditures because they come from extraction of fossil fue

It's also not truly declarative since you can observe ordering (and therefore your app may silently depend on imperative execution) There's also performance issues with large amount of code, and last I checked, Qml doesn't re

Back then there was no notion of what a game was and who is it for. Nowadays people making games grew up with them. Ultra-specialized, fans of the medium they work on. Diversity is more expected early on

Wind and solar need a lot of resources from mining, which itself uses fossil fuel (for extraction, treatment and transport) and creates a lot of local pollution. Wind and solar take a lot of space that could be used for agriculture, so th
