You can get a treatment if you’re diagnosed with ADHD. Being halfway through life doesn’t mean you should just idly wait for death.

Doesn't storage and transport of hydrogen introduce a lot of difficulties that don't exist with other liquified gases, such as penetrating into steel and making it brittle?

Would you sweat on Arrakis? I've never been to a dry desert, but I've heard that sweat can evaporate there very quickly and it's very hard to become sweaty.

Carving Warsaw out of Mazowieckie would be very beneficial to Warsaw itself because it wouldn't depend on PiS wojewoda anymore, too bad this idea has died out. And voting in Poland has always happened on Sundays.

I'm really appalled by what German lobbying for gas and renewables at the cost of nuclear is doing to climate. I get that it's profitable for them to be a hub for Russian gas in Europe but at the same time they should be aware tha

Nuclear is expensive largely due how it's financed and because investors expect their investments profitable sooner rather that later (see LCOE). So it's mostly the cost of capital. When you account for for 60-80 (or 100) year lif

Ape is supposed to be a boring language with C-like syntax that's very easy to embed and use (coming from game development there's definitely a need for that). Although I do think that the way it handles crashes with "recover

It doesn't provide any functions for binary data manipulation (for now), but you can create a custom data type using "ape_object_make_external" and add native functions for reading/writing to it.

I had to double check that I'm reading about Germany, not Poland.

Germany is doing much better than Poland if you look at excess mortality alone. It's largely due to the collapse of Polish healthcare system in October which a direct result of years of being underfunded (Germany has twice as many doct

> What is the relevance here? Germany has always burned lots of coal. Adding renewables, just like adding nuclear, reduces that. Germany is closing nuclear plants and replacing them with gas plants. Guess which one emits more CO2.

You can visit Detroit if you want to experience something like that.

It was a codename for a project that later became DirectX. That's why the early DirectX logo looks similar to radiation warning sign.

I'm not blaming Poles for it (being a Pole myself), just making an observation.

I don't get why this comment is downvoted. This is the only reasonable thing to do from the energy standpoint.

Why bother with compostable plastics if we can just bury the plastics in a landfill and forget about them? The volume of plastics is insignificant, the only problem is plastics that don't end up in landfills but in oceans instead.

No, energy won't be free with "enough solar panels". There's this thing called night. And seasons. And transmission losses.

It's quite interesting because if we stoped all emissions right now the temperature would increase due to lack of aerosol emissions. It's speculated that air quality regulations in Europe led to warming of arctic by 0.5°C ( https:

Surely developers don't have to release games as epic exclusives if they don't want to. Also, epic's cut is much lower that valve's (12% vs 30%). I'd rather buy games on epic so that more money goes to creators.

You don't? The volume of water in oceans is so big that this won't be a problem as long as you don't dump it in coastal waters. Keep in mind that there's plenty of reactors from sunken nuclear submarines in oceans right

Isn't it more due to radiophobia than to the actual danger of radiation? Here's a really good lecture about the dangers of radiation and why it's not as bad as people think it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch

Can nuclear energy lead to a global disaster? The Chernobyl disaster was local and it's pretty much worst case scenario. Global warming is a global disaster and if using nuclear energy is a way of avoiding it then we must use it.

Doctors are deciding what the cause of death was, not the government. The only way to find out how many people died due to this epidemics is to compare the average death rate before and during epidemics. It will also include people withot n

Surprisingly former Eastern Bloc countries are doing quite well thanks to early lockdowns. I think it's largely due to people not trusting public health systems.

You can make a custom external object (with ape_object_make_external) that serves as a byte buffer and add byte_buffer_read/write functions.

I'm using a python script and a template to merge source files into ape.c so it's quite similar to sqlite's amalgamation. It's not as simple as joining a lot of files together though because there are dependencies betwee
