I don’t see how that could be done with WIPO rules and whatnot. Like it or not, undeserved as it may be, the journals _do_ have copyright, and it’s hard to get around that.

It can see through buildings, it can do some pretty precise depth estimates,... It’s not a replacement for visual range (or infrared for that matter) but an additional sensor. It’s usually used to create things like elevation maps. So all t

Yes, often so - it would just come under the heading of fraud. The pity is, some of the fakes are themselves exquisite pieces.

Germany might be the only place where this tech is working as advertised. This stuff needs to work on a planetary level to make a difference. “Just solve corruption and this will work” is a kind of complex way around it...

Not enough to make up the difference. Definitely not as much as coal or fossil fuel for example. Sure, they’ll burn, but not hot enough. Most domestic waste has a calorific value of not more than 16 MJ/Kg, and you need at least 15 MJ&#

The thing is, cogeneration (incinerators producing power) is a bit of a red herring; usually our waste doesn't have the calorific value to actually produce usable power, so it's mixed with fuel, which is not exactly ideal. Also, u

Or often, faster than C, if you’re using compile time template expansion instead of runtime void* casts.

Looks like most of these features are already supported by the major compilers. A few might be hiding behind a flag or three but I expect them to be defaulted soon.

Depends on your perspective. Concepts are great if you’re writing libraries and you need to give your user better errors.

I share your frustration with OpenCASCADE. OCC has become marginally modernised with v7, abandoning that weird macro-template system and gaining support for real C++ smart pointers, etc. But it's still an early 90s framework with all t

To be fair, FreeCAD has been improving quite rapidly over the last few years. To the extent that I'm able to use it for the few small things I need to do.

No, predictions about what other undiscovered evidence you’d expect to find about the past. In a way this is like astrophysics in that you can’t conduct experiments, but you can predict that X is correlated with Y. Come to think of it, pale

I disagree entirely, especially about history. You form hypotheses on the basis of evidence (literary, archaeological, documentary, etc), make predictions about the kinds of effects you’d expect to find in the historical record, and then mo

The problem with eugenics isn’t the idea of selective breeding, but the conflation of mostly irrelevant traits or uninheritable traits with important and inheritable ones. Leading to a loss of genetic diversity and concentration of genetic
