Linking PDF because summary is a bit too optimistic IMO. Key takeaways: Estimates of GHG emissions when manufacturing LiIon batteries varies ten folds. An EV may have emitted less GHG than an ICEV after 150000km, although that strongly depe

None of the EV strategies make sense from a CO2 emissions point of view, because producing batteries already emits the equivalent of driving the same petrol car for 80000 to 100000km. In countries where electricity is largely carbon based (

Opinion of a programmer learning Coq: I think the Coq program is THE proof, everything else is aesthetic. I quite do not like the idea proposed in the paper to comment every Coq line. There is risk to give an illusion of understanding. Wher

There are areas where natural radioactivity or chemicals just occur at dangerous levels. So it is certainly not a new problem to spot and avoid those areas. So in xx years: Either humans still have technology, and they can find out there is

"500 scientists and professionals" so title is voluntarily misleading. Overall there are much fewer than 50% physical science doctors.

No need to warn them, a Geiger counter is more than enough to detect nuclear waste. Spared reading one article.

Agreeing with the general tone below. The post gives the impression people should conceal even innocuous interactions. The basis is, of course, to have several email addresses and give the impersonal one, which receives most of the spam, to

Look at car ads: the infotainment system, as it is called, is now the primary argument for selling cars. That is another symptom of the epoch rot. And they're made harder to replace with aftermarket units. Having said that, bluetooth t

I have daughters 6 and 8 years old. When talking about math with them, it mostly revolves around arithmetic calculus. But then there are plenty of tricks that can be learnt by doing calculations in ones head. Maybe it is not very fashionabl

Jokes apart? You're talking of a >200% annualized ROI. My advice is to learn how to count: that's always profitable in some way.

It is always beneficial to learn something new, but do not expect to write production ready code in less than two years learning/practice. So learn how to code as a hobby, and for your business concentrate on your field of expertise, d

Well it is difficult because there are so many distracting things and programming environments are not very engaging for kids. My two daughters had great fun assembling Lego Mindstorms and Robotis Bioloid kids (with the smallish metal screw

You should start with a good course on automata, such as "Automata and computability" by Kozen. That will cover parsing and a bit more, but this is all "old stuff", or basics, as you see things. Then you would need a goo

Maybe you should be a bit more detailed about what is required and why you would need custom software. I am thinking at: - what makes your current approach complex, cumbersome - what are you trying to automate

Going on with my Arduino idea: when they have enough of C you can do some assembly. You can teach interrupt handling, the source of all concurrency on a single core, in C or asm. You can do communication on an unreliable link (2 boards &amp

Remembering the very first course I received at 9 y.o. (logo with turtle) the pleasure came from seeing the actual output of the program on the screen: a drawing. Remembering my first C course at 20, whose program was a one liner designed o
