Yeah, burning oil (with microbes this time) to make hydrogen while wasting the rest of the energy in the oil (to sustain microbes) while generating the same emissions as oil (but using microbes instead of burning it in engines) so that when

Often, yes. In many places we're even wary of using US-based services at all. The EU has been having a bit of a back and forth with the US and many companies because EU law prohibits foreign states gaining access to personal informatio

Well you can custom-build a suitable system for the middle five digits. It's still not something every idiot can run, but most medium to large companies can set up their own for sure.

You're grossly overestimating. People who make 60k annually are getting a bit rarer nowadays, it's not like everyone can afford it. For the majority of people it'd be a multi-decade project, for a few it might only take 7 yea

I doubt money supply has much to do with the issue at hand, since we're looking at the real world and money is just a tool for managing it. I think you're correct in that everything is very expensive, possibly close to the most ex

Pretty sure you're supposed to return a 403 in any case. It'd be a nicer easter egg when sending some nonsensical but carefully chosen arguments to said endpoints.

There are several issues with that. The largest one is that you assert that the costs can only inflate. They cannot. TL;DR – Yes, but the added value gets smaller each recursion, such that even if you add on an infinite amount of these cost

The economy gathers outside energy as the production of value, which is what the vast majority of companies do, and some of it disappears out the other end as consumption of goods with value. It's perfectly true that the system is perf

Think of the "birds" (combinators) acting on a combined set of both the birds and the shapes. Don't forget that parenthesized blocks of birds and shapes are considered a single "letter" for manipulation. For an exam

I don't really think it's a good enough answer to count for that. There are plenty of good answers for this already out there, I just happened to write out a more mediocre one as I'd have no clue of what to search for. The ar

Combinatory logic, underneath being lambda calculus. For a simple explanation: think of `SKI` etc. as functions or transformations which do what is described, how they are described mathematically is discussed later. They act on all values,

The whole language as well as this repo really drips and oozes the word "Enterprise" in CamelCase as all good enterprise programs should be. Large messages are just the norm.

Yeah, this refactoring is dubious but I think it's still correct. "The successful response with `body`" is a lot simpler in my head to comprehend than `{:ok, body}`. There is little to no need to actually know what is being s

That's certainly a concern. The human brain can only track 7±3 things at once, which can make life very hard for some programmers if a function jumps away often. However, in a well designed functional system, this shouldn't be an

It won't run at real-time speeds. Way, wayy slower. You could put this on a FPGA though, if you port it to one. Then it would run in real-time. I doubt it will run exactly as it is, with the limitations an FPGA provides. The logic shou

It is a very odd title which carries a connotation it probably didn't mean to.

An air conditioner is a heat pump. It uses energy to pump heat from one end to another. One of these thermoelectric generator devices is basically the reverse, it generates energy when heat is pumped through it. There is perhaps an analogy

Indeed. The end of autoplay being on by default or not being a setting at all is a blessing far more than anyone worth their salt has even thought it could be a curse.

It isn't a gold plate. It advertises itself as solid gold. It is in fact solid nickel, with 200-400 mg of gold peppered in. It's also at most 6.4 x 12.8 cm plate, which is tiny. If it were solid gold at 19.3 g/cm^3, it would
