If you have an idea that you honestly think relieves people's pain, and those people have money, and you think you can put a team together to successfully execute on that in all ways (tech, sales, etc). I don't know your circumsta

In Java, primitives. int, boolean, float. Allocated on the stack, or the heap along with the object it is a part of.

I think the kite might have control surfaces, thus would be able to control lift by changing its angle of attack.

Rule #2 is when calculating duration is to keep the timestamps as long long. If for some reason you need to convert the duration to float, check the duration first and/or just use double precision.

This is why I always just use an int64 on embedded systems for timestamps. I'll be dead of old age before my software kills anyone by accident.

Yes you can use a heat pump, but that requires work to run. Think compressors and whatnot. So even with a perfectly efficient heat pump that limit still holds because you are using some of the energy gained from your new hot temperature to

Ideal thermodynamic efficiency is 1-Tcold/Thot in an absolute temperature scale. This means given a perfect mechanism to turn heat into work this is the upper bound of how much of the heat can be turned into useful work. Say ambient ai

I agree completely. I also think it's not relevant for HN. It's what we used to call "flamebait".

ELI5 por favor, is this a class of exploits that is a function of Apple's architecture, kind of like how specter was for the whole branch prediction thing IIRC? Or is this something that can be fixed with a software update and no perfo

That's super awesome to hear. I am continuously surprised by how long it takes companies to pivot to compete effectively with Apple. The M1 came out in 2020? ARM support is part of the puzzle but the architecture lags so badly. And it&
