I can't speak to health benefits beyond the weight loss. But I started an IF diet about a year ago and later combined it with calorie restriction and lost >25 kg with that in total. That brought me from almost obese to smack middle

The article argues that the EV tax is much higher than gas taxes, and even more so if you include taxes paid for electricity.

If the outflow is not compressed, you can transfer at most half of the heat and that is under perfect conditions.

Historical and obscure machines aside, there are a few things modern C++ code should take for granted, because even new systems will probably not bother breaking them: Text is encoded in UTF-8. Negative integers are twos-complement. Float i

You are pretty much exactly describing how corruption works in a well regulated country. Since officials can't just pick the contractor but have to take the cheapest bid for the given requirements, they have to doctor the requirements

Pretty sure Germany has more corruption than Switzerland. It is just better hidden than in southern europe. In this case I think Switzerland is the outlier though. The country is extremely efficient with alpine infrastructure.

I was comparing a big electric car with a fat battery vs a cheaper electric car with a smaller battery + a rental car for holidays. Of course buying a used ICE car is currently still cheaper.

I don't think your number is accurate, at least not for western europe. Also you have to compare what you save in terms of purchase price (and electricity cost, because you drive a lighter car) with what it costs for renting over the l

Because for exceptional peak usage you could also just rent a car, and then optimize your car choice for the day-to-day usage. Driving a smaller battery around takes less energy, so it is cheaper to buy and cheaper to drive.

Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware. I thought it was all 'scancodes'

Polish notation enforces binary operators. LISP doesn't, so you have to have the parentheses. (+ a b c) is + a + b c or + + a b c in polish notation. These are the same, of course until thet are not, such as with floating point arithme

What is the defining characteristic of a 'systems language', and what is an example for a language that doesn't fulfill it?

It's not a windows thing. These are the codes that the hardware uses, on all platforms.

I now exclusively use US-International No Dead Keys. I just use the right alt key + qpys to get äöüß. I hate having to switch layouts and switching layouts accidentally while typing. Those key combinations are not worse than []{}\ on the ge

Is there a programmatic way to figure out what letter corresponds to a given keycode without that key being pressed? Because you may have to display that info somewhere to give an indication what the user has to press.

With rclone you can encrypt data locally while uploading. This allows you to host everything from home and use the cloud only for backups, basically end-to-end encrypted.

I don't see how you can promise one buyer 'best effort' and then prioritize another buyer. Could AZ deliver nothing to EU and still claim it was their best effort, just because someone else negotiated something 'better&#

Whats even better than planning for costly buffers that are unused most of the time is having a system that can adapt to unplanned changes in circumstances. So far I don't see that this isn't the case, but time will tell.

It is normal for booster shots to have more side effects.

Can't edit anymore, but ofc the math is off by factor 10: 'tens of engineers over more than a decade' is more in the realm of 300 person-years. Still 10KB per day and engineer, which is maybe 200-500 lines of code. Far above
442.
by stkdump 6y ago
It is. Let's say we are talking 30 person-years, that is 60000 days. It means 100KB of text written per day and engineer.

France tried to do exactly that, with the results mentioned in the article: massive subsidies, but future costs not covered by far.

Same old lie. Check the actual numbers of electricity production.

Actually, you have to answer something more from the other side: for a randomly picked person (voter), i.e. considering the distribution of race, gender and age in the population: how likely is a guess just based on these factors correct. T

I don't see any 'problem' caused by the fact that we nowadays standardized on SI prefixes. In the olden days, you would get inaccuracies like the so called 1.44 'MB' floppy disk (which wasn't very floppy, eithe

The logical standard are SI prefixes. Do you proprose that a milligram should become 1/1024th of a gram instead?

by stkdump 6y ago
All the more reason to standardize on what we use literally everywhere else.
