I think you mean: If anybody anywhere decided to invoke a wait() until the state "my COMMIT; has been durably committed", then that means all previous commits must also be in durably committed state before we can continue. Sure. B

I'm pretty sure the costs of producing a fuel based solely on making it with electricity is by far, of all the options you named, best done with Ammonia. The reason the cost of ammonia is barely better, or even worse, than things like

In the modern bizarre age we find ourselves in... A comedian is clearly the best job on your resume if you want to apply for the job of president. Certainly the experience dealing with hecklers, and a sharp wit, come in handy.

That data sharing thing goes pretty far. Am I reading that correctly? Anything that is hosted in the EU, or sells to EU citizens, has to share _all (generated by activity, personal and non-personal, including meta-) data_ that the service i

Or to be overly dramatic: "Who has committed suicide because of her lies?", because we know that answer is not zero, and a direct consequence of her modus operandi of scorched earth legal warfare with anybody who steps out of line

I've been toying with the idea of making something very very much lik this, but, for an existing language. Which makes it far, far more complicated; I'm sure various aspects of the design of whatever language one would build this

The author appears to be unfindable, the abstract is clearly talking about something close to this but also mentions adapting existing UK based fossil fuel powerplants, lowballs a bunch of estimates, and somehow brings up a seemingly comple

Yup. And deserts are pretty good places to build massive solar farms. The more mainstream way of thinking is to electrolyze water into hydrogen and oxygen. Which requires pure water (extremely pure; trying to electrolyze water is difficult

I'm glad sodium is having its day in this configuration of using them in batteries. What I'm really trying to understand is how in the blazes we aren't using Sodium _directly_ as energy transport mechanism. Using the Castner

Yes. And one of those vaunted differences between 'senior' and 'medior' is knowing the difference. Because I can confirm what you said: Both experiences are real. Brewing it up yourself can blow up in your face. Reaching

Where on the line are we talking? It's one thing to say: "In my view, EO Wilson's association with Rushton is defensible and should not be considered a stain on his career". It's quite another to say: "That, an

The sheer amount of additional benefit means this is a gallingly reductive view of it all. The subsidy for maintaining car infrastructure is causing _more_ co2 per euro invested, how's that fit into these calculations? This is so usele

Not really. Feels like orders of magnitude less than other companies of similar size. And still feels like that today. However, the fact that this sense of 'we are ALL and thus need not bother with anything but company-internal politic

It keeps me busy, this kind of thinking. In a good way - something to mull over. These massive companies that epically fail to adjust, is it primarily a management style (cliché representation: Private equity takeovers – focus on 'mana

The gist you're trying to convey is fine: Prioritize those things that _directly_ cause meaningful damage to maintainability. But a code base that is stylistically inconsistent is itself a source of unmaintainability. That's proba

That seems unnecessarily harsh. I don't think that's the gist of the article, but the throwaway suggestion of 'just make lots of copies, who cares about diskspace' is insufficient and thus distracts. It's.. a single

The post just skips over _why_. It states that Python is 'more modern' than java as an axiom. This is not a particularly easily adopted axiom. For example, python is in fact older than java. Which surely isn't what the author

How hard is this to exploit in practice? Very - this is a silly update in OpenJDK's war against things like Project Lombok. It _seems_ easy to exploit: Just.. get any jar file containing an annotation processor on the classpath and it

What if the common trend of 'house prices rising totally out of whack' amongst various locales (Canada, USA, Europe, Australia, China) is not.. actually, a common trend? No single explanation suffices; it's just coincidence.

Here's a thing governments should say a lot more - a combination of being humble and also instilling humbleness in companies that need to hear it: "Look mates, if you don't clean up your stuff, we're gonna have to write

Tesla was in a ridiculous bind. Its market cap was about 4 to 5x higher than any other car company. That kind of difference is hard to justify based on tangibles such as 'well, their brand has more value' or 'well, they are j

Not the CO2 - the C. Technically you don't need the Cs at all, you can just burn H2. However, H2 has all sorts of annoyances; running a car on H2 is difficult. Running a boat on it, not really feasible right now. Your worry about the &

Many java editors (notably, eclipse) work the same way, _if_ you configure them to do so_: Just run it, don't worry about the compilation errors. If the code never hits that segment (in java, if there's a syntactical error in sour
