For some reason we had something like common core math in my elementary school in the early 2000s and I just had a traumatic flashback. Teacher forced us do EVERY sum like this: 17890 + 456 = 1 x 10000 + 7 x 1000 + 8 x 100 + 7 x 10 + 0 x 1

Apparently there's a kernel config flag to zero the memory on free (CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON) but it has a quite expensive performance cost (3-5% according to the docs). I wonder in what kind of scenario it would make sense to en

When you live in front of a tall building that blocks the Sun the days are shorter and it's harder to keep the house warm during the Winter. Maybe I went too far calling it a "scarce resource" but tall buildings that are too

Since our society is unable to perform any activity without descending into an uncontrolled positive feedback cycle, I would rather none of us work towards cooling the Earth.

Yeah, the git command traverses up the filesystem until it finds a ./.git/HEAD file or until it reaches /, whatever happens first. The problem comes when a 3rd program uses git to find the root of a project that doesn't

Since it takes at minimum 4 hours to drain each battery (3.3KW discharge rate), a better question would be what percentage of peak demand power they can provide. Max power: 3.3 * 50000 = 165MW. Peak demand for 2020: 47121MW (18th August 15:
