One useful perk of owning a domain is that I can now give a different email address to everyone. When they misuse, I can remove them from my inbox very easily.

Nothing forces it to be messy. A well-tended haskell codebase is great. On the oposite, I would say that a poor haskell codebase is painful, but far from being as painful as a poor java/js codebase. Anecdotally, in my years of haskell

The reason people can’t remember it on the spot is that it’s really not necessary to understand how do-notation desugars in order to use it. People usually check it once, see that it is correct and forget about it.

Renewables didn't move the needle since french electricity was already clean. Your graph shows that fossil didn't move over the time period. The difference has been cleaner energy use (e.g. better car motors) and cleaner productio

Corsica is connected to the Italian grid. This map is simply based on a research paper where not every connection appears (notably, I don't see the 63/90 kv grid in France).

They don't show the same thing. Electricity map is mostly focused on showing public market data about electricity and co2 emissions, while that site is a showcase of how a power flow works to calculate how electricity flows in the grid

France being about 1% of world's population, any effort won't make a huge dent in a global phenomenon. Also, that 1% pollutes a lot more than the average, so the efforts made on the electricity front are offset by other issues.

That article is extremely loaded. It bemoans every factor that made building nuclear a sensible choice, as if these factors were unfair and shouldn't have existed (with that logic, I guess Norway should never have built dams, and it&#x

by pyrale 2y ago
The data you provide quotes Germany being 50% more polluting than France per-GDP-unit, at the level France was at in 2007. The issue with it is that dividing by GDP rather than, say, population or total energy used is kind of disingenuous.

Net balance over long time periods isn't very interesting: it doesn't tell you what happens on the market and who needs the trade to happen. What you need to look at is whether these exports are correlated with peaks in production

I'm not sure why you bring up Rust here, plenty of libs/languages use the Result pattern. Your explanation of what bothers you with results seems to be focused on one specific way of handling the result, and not very clear on what

Keyboards are also extremely error-prone. I can't count the times where I mistyped because of that. After each keystroke, people should type a "confirm" character in order to make sure of what they're doing.

n-arity functions are also constants. 0 is not a special case there. Their behaviour won't change depending on the context from which you call them. A large part of FP is that functions _are_ values.

I understand how orbits work, but the current count for the whole constellation isn't at tens of thousands to begin with.

There aren't tens of thousands of Starlink satellites over China, and I suspect the issue would be solved or escalated way before the whole constellation gets down.

> functions are bound with the same syntax as constants Apparently, the author hasn't come around to understanding that functions are just another constant.
