Does anyone know at what point fossil fuels will start to feel the shrinking economies of scale, ie when fossil will get more expensive because there is less scale? Does this point exist at all, or doesn't it matter any more because we

Years ago I wrote a programming language a bit like Haxe, except that it let you 'inject' snippets of your target language wherever you wanted. So you could keep your major architecture in one common language and still implement s

If you want something that does these things and mostly just works, get a Qnap. More expensive, of course.

Not after you price the power. I have a Xeon system that is plenty powerful for my (C++) dev work, but I'm thinking of replacing it with an AMD build as it'll probably be cheaper over time. Then again, this is at Dutch energy cost

The form factor is (can be) an issue. I used a 4u case for my build a few years ago, and to fit my 1070 I had to bring out the dremel to remove some parts of the cross bars.

My neighbor does this as well. He does cover the cable with a piece of vinyl. I see him dicking around with his extension cord and vinyl several times a week, and then he tells me how charging EVs is totally not a problem and how convenient

If your accountant cannot tell you how to do this, you need to fire him/her and get a competent one. Hiding behind 'tax evasion' so that you can get away with paying people in 'nice lunches' (lol) is ridiculous.

You just pay them a flat-rate expense reimbursement. Tadaa, problem fixed! I hate companies cowaring behind rigid interpretations of rules to get out of paying people.

You didn't invite all of them for am interview did you? Just call those you will interview. And yes you preselect on the CV, that's what it's for.

Not as cheap, but Fibaro has a ZWave button like this. Registers double clicks and some other behaviors too.

... That can still make them distant? Is Australia less 'distant' from Europe now that it takes 24 hours instead of 6 weeks to get there? In some senses, yes, but not in the sense that the GP used 'distant' (i.e., as a o

It meant (to me) that there are several 'pockets' of this happening simultaneously, it's not some local 'strain' or 'outbreak'. I thought it was a crucial thing to add, for nuance. Not sure why you're

There are so many things Microsoft was ahead of the times. For example, they had what are now 'Electron apps' in the 1990's (hta files). And how I wheep when I look back at the power of COM, how I complained about it back whe

If you say 'object sync protocol', would it work to build a dropbox alternative? I'd love for you guys to make one, I'd pay a premium over the 120/yr I now pay Dropbox for a sync-only product that you would just lea

Right, but I took the comment in the OP to mean that non-Newtonian physics makes things 'non-deterministic', even is we leave aside the practicality of simulating the universe at the molecular (or smaller?) level.

What caught my eye in this article was this sentence: "This is a founding idea of chaos theory, whose advocates sometimes say Lorenz helped dispel the Newtonian idea of a wholly predictable universe." Maybe someone more well-verse
