The over 100% efficient means that the heat produced in the room is greater that the energy taken from the wall plug. This makes sense for me.

I am fond of this shorter syntax: tar c . | tar x -C target This syntax allows to avoid errors when the target already exists.

What about the energy conservation. Of course there are energy leaks in AC->DC conversion if you don't take into account the heat produced during the conversion. If your purpose is heat, the efficiency is 100%. A radiator behaves li

No. At school, my teacher said that functional languages needed to have the 4 following features: procedures as data, tail-recursion, closure, garbage collector. There are many other features that define families of functional languages. ho

I am surprised that only hillaryclinton.com has public whois data. IMHO, hidding behind a proxy is not a good cue for trust. Three among four are very slow to load on my PC. I think this very good article should also compare the performance

In the end of the eighties I needed to replace the fancy patterns available in spreadsheet graphics on PC1512 (gem) by more serious patterns (the client was a bank). I have done a small visualisation program in turbo pascal to find them and

I think it is a bit like reading a "glossy magazine". It is not the same expectation as an encyclopedia, but it is pleasant to read (at least for me).

Yes, they are making systems secure against their owners. Decrypting binaries just before executing means writable memory pages that becomes executable. For my security, I would like that only a couple of "blessed JIT VM" (io.js,

I think the main point of this article is that man pages are incomplete on linux. When I have to explain some unix arcane to a colleague, I often start by saying that man is the most important command in unix. But I am always obliged to say

I started with the basic of Oric-1, then the fabulous locomotive basic of Amstrad. When I got a PC (1986), I ditched quickly GW-basic in favor of turbo pascal, turbo prolog and later turbo C. QBASIC was not bad, but really too late for me.
