Interesting, thanks for posting this! This amounts to a bit more than one peer-reviewed publication for every four days since the first ISS segment launched in 1998. (2157 publications total through March 2019) More than 170 of those papers

Could it be profitable to take advantage of the overabundance of renewable energy during certain periods of the day? Or does profitability require running the process 24/7? I'm thinking, for example, whether this could sink some o

Came here just to say that. It's such a beautiful case where a developer notices an issue in their mental model of how the tools work, changes their mental model to account for that issue, but as a result introduces a completely differ

I think you misunderstood the original point. The idea is that there is more to life than consumption. Even if a higher extraction results in more consumption, that doesn't mean the end result is more valuable to the people. When you r

When I visited the US, I went to Walmart just to see how bad it was. I visited the "sick and dead fish" aisle. Incomprehensible how that's even allowed, but ok. This is more subjective, but in every country I go to, I visit a

I consider this somewhat different because people who smoke knowingly do it onto themselves. If people think the benefits outweigh the risks, I don't see that as a "failure" in any way. Passive smoking is the main cause of ha

Even if rust becomes a full replacement, it might take half a century before the last C++ project stops being maintained. In the meantime. Investing your time in improving C++ is a safe bet for a long-lasting meaningful impact on software [
