Then you might as well talk about "C/Rust". Both go to LLVM. But nobody says it, because it would be BS in exactly the same way "C/C++" is. What matters about a language as a technology, as in the context of th

It makes as much sense to talk about a language named "Haskell/Ocaml" as about "C/C++".

Last I heard, days were getting unaccountably shorter, such that they were threatening to impose a reverse-leap second, or "lop second", with a select minute only 59 seconds long, rather than 61 for the usual case.

It doesn't say whether this is using the treatment that removes all the lignite from the wood, leaving only cellulose, and compressing that. That was supposed to provide a sort of wood product that was as strong as steel, but lighter.

Maybe he thinks Azure should standardize on one of Go/Rust, Java/C#, or Haskell/OCaml for managing its hosting service. He is apparently in a position to enforce his opinion on the division. It is hard to know how anybody out

Amounts do matter, but 82% for agriculture is not unusual. The amount of water that frackers and chipmakers are allowed to waste always astounds me.

As he appears to have been wholly concerned with details of Microsoft's walled garden, I would not have heard of him. It seems like his opinions today involve only Microsoft's internal management of its hosting products, which nob

I see that you are not earnest and mean only to waste my time. Good day.

Wikipedia puts the north lake of what used to be the Aral Sea at 3300 km^2 in 2008, the south lake similar, down from 68,000 km^2 total in 1960. It says Utah's Great Salt Lake is 2460 km^2, so comparable. That is a lot of km^2, but we

It is commendable that they did not ignorantly call it a D B -9 connector, but lamentable that they did not identify it as the D E -9 it really is.

The pollution seems like a bigger problem all around.

They could float solar on it to cut the evaporation rate, presuming there is anything to float on. Same for the Great Salt Lake in Utah. As it is they are panicking about the arsenic dust that will be blown over the city from the dry lake b

You are reading enormous hostility into a simple question. I hope you are never treated as badly for your earnest behavior as you think I deserve for mine.

Niemann was a minor, in the other cases. Youthful indiscretion deserves forgiveness.

It should suffice that you can be proven not to be cheating right here and right now. Unlike doping, getting assistance helps you only exactly as long as you continue getting it.

Assuming nothing exists except what you already know about gets you reliably wrong answers. In fact there are a lot of hills. Few places are very far away from any, even in Nebraska. Any hill may serve for pumped hydro, although those ove

The quantity of Li in the crust is directly relevant. It provides an overwhelmingly more meaningful measure than "reserves", which only identify how much is in the next place people will dig when their current seam is tapped out.

I did not reply as if the person were being a smartass. I replied indicating the answer did not provide me the information I had asked for. The original question was utterly specific, so I asked again for an answer to that. "Volatile o

This seems to be contradicted by agreements posted. Or is use of features introduced since 1995 especially limited? I doubt many still use Swing, anyway.

I have come to doubt that they misunderstand, but rather they choose to misrepresent. To lie. Why people want to lie about an existential threat to civilization is another matter. We know that many who do, via millions of sock puppet accoun

That appears to be space on disk for transcripts of all the traffic. Presumably if people were not uploading GB of crap, it would not need to archive GB of crap. Unless it keeps as many copies of everything as people who get it. That would

Yes, RAM is immediate storage. Disk/SSD is long-term storage. I would not have asked if I already knew the answer. I only asked again because I did not know the answer. Is that really surprising and offensive behavior? What do you do?

Obviously 15GB is "storage". It's not cost, or turbidity, or torque. But that wasn't the question. Maybe answer that?

It says using ~15GB? already. But doesn't say RAM or disk. That seems to matter.

It pleases you to pretend we don't know how to store energy. But we do. You may fly off on tangents assuming we don't, but do not expect people to go with you.
