No, refineries make more heating oil in winter and more gasoline in summer driving season.

The answer is transactions costs, many countries charge for roads where it's practical (not in the city).

Relaxation oscillators are easy, good phase shift oscillators are an art.

I was hoping this would go more into startup and amplitude control, which are for me the tricky parts of building a phase shift oscillator (because you have to analyze the non-linear behavior). I guess hobbyists nowadays are just using SI5

Not a big issue with QT layouts (still have to test the result though)

Holy cow, cheap weather stations are encoding and decoding JSON? What a century.

Could you go into more detail? How would you build e.g. numpy without FFI?

More governments should provide a system like the German electronic ID*, which lets you prove your age without revealing other information. * Tragically underused because impractical

Why would memory eventually run out? Just fix those leaks with valgrind!

If you want more of these jokes in the structure and flow of the text you should read Gödel Escher Bach.

> CPUs run at 60-70C, while the outside ambient is usually 30C or less, so heat should just "flow downhill" with a bit of help from fans, pumps, etc. This isn't how you think of heat flow. The CPUs run at a given power. Th

At some point far in the future, we don't need an economy: everyone does everything they need by themselves, helped by AI and replicators. But realistically, you're not going to have a personal foundry anytime soon.

Is "why" really a meaningful question? These are all models. The best we can do is to show how to derive the phenomenon from the (hopefully simple) rules of our model.

That only matters if you're measuring in the time domain and seeing the noise due to individual carriers. Often you just care about averages over some time and space (e.g. the macroscopic flow of water behaves quite different from the

An infinitely large grid never reaches equilibrium, like it says in the article.

I'd argue the case you're describing is mathematically simpler precisely because it is continuous.

You can have both. Enjoy the weird-looking train when you're in Wuppertal, then be thankful that you have an awesome river back home like in Munich.

This made me briefly ponder the meaning of lives spent copying manuscripts or doing other repetitive tasks.
