My experience with out of memory is that in every single language and environment I worked on in the past, once an application hits that condition, there is very little hope of continuing reliably. So if your aim is to build a reliable syst

You are way out there with your thinking. Nobody denies born children the right to live. The idea was more in line of preventing children from being conceived in the first place. Not that this isn't fraught with moral, philosophical an

There is about 10t of atmosphere per square meter. It is the same mass as 10m of water. A lake with 10m of water is very shallow one and can heat up many degrees C even in a single sunny day. And air is no water, it has much less heat capac

Looking at small number of samples from one place for a limited amount of history without understanding the pattern of weather you are in. Argumenting global climate change from your local experience does not work. It only works when: * y

For almost every issue you can find at least one highly educated person that thinks otherwise. If you think something is "controversial" because one person thinks otherwise, we would never land at anything. Look at their arguments

And 4.5 billion years ago the Earth was a ball of lava. I guess we can only acknowledge the problem after it gets hotter than at some arbitrary point in the past.

I don't agree. I think this is just a faulty way to see the world. I grew up with ample evidence and cries of scientist of the reality of global warming, and no actual real evidence to the contrary. And everybody else grew with the sam

So this is the old, false argument. Population control WOULD be effective at solving the problem. That is if it was humane. Your arguments seems true because at first sight it looks (and it is true) that it is the first world that emits m

And wouldn't it be reasonable to assume, if entire scientific community was involved in some kind conspiracy, that somebody somewhere would find some kind of smoking gun? And who would exactly benefit from peddling that kind of conspir

The "it's not man made" and "just a natural cycle" is easily disproven by showing historical temperatures change where it does, by pure accident, a hockey stick trick just last century. Or it would if the audience w

Who still believes global warming does not exist? I am currently listening to audiobook of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (1998). It has a paragraph on global warming and trying to convince POTUS it is real. And POTUS not wanting to act on i

Sure they would. The area that would support them would just be shifting. So what a mammoth needs? -- food -- no predators that kills them all (remember, it's humans that killed it) -- not too hot climate. Does it require actual ice?

I would say the opposite: Be wary of doing in infrastructure what could be done with a little bit of code. Maintaining a dozen bits of pieces written consistently in one programming language may be cheaper than maintaining complicated infra

The issue with these debates is that these tend to be driven by people with strong opinions coming usually from misunderstanding of the other side of the debate. I like to think that there is no OOP vs FP, there is no strong typing vs no ty

Signed contracts have a signature. This has been an acceptable way to ascertain authenticity of the document for a long time. Signatures are surprisingly difficult to forge. I have developed my signature so that nobody can replicate it flue

I believe that after half a dozen releases 0 stops being meaningful and is just reflection on somebody's inability to make a decision. I make my point by always numbering my first prod release as 1.0.0. It is never going to be perfect

Again, completely wrong. 100% humid 0C air is still 0C wet bulb temperature -- perfectly good for cooling you down.

Well, wet bulb thermometer works specifically by evaporating water and measuring temperature. Psychometer is completely different idea. Yes, measuring humidity reliably is a difficult problem as basically any other measurement that requires
