That person explicitly dismissed "advanced mastery" and thus challenging and bettering oneself or themselves as being non-inclusive. I find this attitude highly offensive, because my motivation towards mastery is not of that kind.

Ah, the lowest-common-denominator argument for why your code is crap. That is the reason that Python code has become what PHP was 10 years ago: The mark of projects to avoid at all cost.

WSL1 was a dead end, not because of compatibility but because of performance, especially when it comes to file system access and process operations. Windows is supremely complex in both, with things like filesystem filters, fused fork+exec+

For photo and video backups, I'm using auto-upload in the Nextcloud Android app together with my own Nextcloud instance. There are various Nextcloud apps like memories where you can get additional functionality for those photos that we

I've found ext4 to be generally unsuitable to HPC environments due to the 16TB filesize limitation. So it is the wrong tool for the job anyways. xfs all the way!

xfs has had large file and large filesystem support for ages, so it is well-tested in that regard. ext4 can do larger filesystems now, but is still limited to 16TB files. zfs ist comparable to xfs in that regard. xfs integrates well into li

Me too. But the CA and browser mafia is too intertwined to let this change anytime soon.

The typical tax-related depreciation term for computer hardware is 5 years over here. Which is already half of what typical office equipment is expected to last. After which it is usually resold or given away to goodwill. 2016 is just 7 yea

No, you are right, 60% is a theoretical maximum achievable maybe with supercritical reactor coolant. The actual maximum for existing reactors is somewhere just below 40%.

by ori_prior 3y ago
60% is feasible for e.g. nuclear and gas, if you use more than one turbine and there is a big constant temperature differential. This typically isn't the case for gas plants which are intentionally variable and often intended to be che

One could discuss whether it really needs to be Rust. But TypeScript is definitely the wrong tool for the job. The performance reference is xterm. If you cannot beat that, don't bother.

Writing the first (small) program (I think drawing a line in qbasic) that, on the very first try, went through the compiler without any warning or error and did what it was supposed to do.

Your numbers are off. Thermal power plants typically do have a thermal-to-electric efficiency of around 30% (40% max), so with your heatpump having an electric-to-thermal efficiency of an assumed 300%, you end up with basically no differenc

You are both right and wrong. It depends on the intelligence of the person you are dealing with. There is a thing called "intelligence". There are several definitions of it, the one I'd like to use here is "the ability

It's not that it usually is the Scotty Engineering principle. It is more often a hedge against unforeseen complications, because if you give a realistic estimate that would be true for 90% of the tickets, the 10% will come to bite you.

You are right. Justice and injustice are entirely subjective, there can be no objective measure of those. Why? Because they stem from an individual's value system. Which is the subjective measures (good, bad, nice, rude, just, unjust,

I find languages with symbols far easier to read than verbose textual syntax like in BASIC or pascal. Symbols like (), {}, [] satisfy my need for symmetry and are far easier to correlate than BEGIN/END. I find Python very unreadable du
