Wind turbines are trivial to downregulate. The foreign market just allows you to shift the strike price for downregulation, making the generation in total more cost-efficient.

Just a little nit-pick: The NaNs always compare false, so this property only holds for values up to +inf (0x7f800000).

The explicitness of Erlang is exactly what Elixir is lacking. A /lot/ is done via macros. This makes it really easy to build domain-specific language extensions, but it also means that you'll have to learn what they are doing

Rightly so. Children can't (as reliable as you) decide how safe it is in a given situation to cross.

This doesn't trigger a segfault for me in Python 3.7, just an exception that `print_exception` expects an `Exception`. Someone commented below the gist with this one-liner: (i for i in []).throw(type('E', (BaseException

The compiler and most of the standard library are written in Erlang, the VM and key components of the standard library are written in C. The first versions were written in Prolog.

It's not that simple, I guess this refers to things like "Mongolei", "Spielerei" etc. where -ei will also never be a syllable on its own. You'll have to put a lot more context in for a rule like this.

They always count from 00 onwards with a leading 0, though (x.01, ... x.09, x.10 etc.). The equivalent in the more common versioning scheme would be 2.8.0 which would then also be called 2.8.

One thing I remember vividly was an off-by-one error off a colleague in a nested loop. Since we were using periodic boundary conditions, the result looked almost right, but of course the very last read would be garbage. Depending on the lat

When I was working in LQCD (lattice quantum chromodynamics), people were fighting quite a bit with corrupted memory, which only resulted in a crash in the best of all cases, usually it led to very or (worse) slightly weird results.

Python 3 also allows for non-ASCII identifiers.

JACK and pulseaudio are designed for entirely different use-cases. I have both installed on my system and switch as needed.

Unless you happen to have scratched your CD really deeply to actually damage the data layer (which requires grooves of 1mm in depth), it's fixable though, a scratch in a vinyl is not. Also, the last few albums that I bought did not com

That's not how it's written in the post though. If you just swap out the "inertial mass" at the end and the "rest energy" somewhere in the middle it makes more sense: > because photons have rest energy (=&gt

Version compatibility is not an issue for in-kernel drivers, only for the few remaining external ones. On Windows you have this issue much more often if you are trying to use an older device, in particular if it's one that came out bef

This is a great video, thanks. The mentioned catenary shape is a cosh (Cosinus Hyperbolicus, i.e. 1/2(exp(x) + exp(-x)) or cos(ix)) and decidedly not a parabola. Wikipedia contains a derivation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org&#x

This depends highly on what you are storing. Letting a process reuse "old" state after a crash can easily cause a restart loop.

It kind of does. And there is also no need to argue about this, the code is available and very straight forward: https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/fe2b1323a3866ed0a9712e9d1...

In Erlang that makes a lot of sense since most of your calls into other processes are done with a timeout of (by default) 5s, so breaking for longer time puts the system in a very non-standard state, which doesn't help in finding error
