That could assume there was a linear realationship between price and demand. Possibly if you need to charge x% more then your sales might drop off almost entirely as you raised your price to that level.

We moralize about all sorts of important things like washing hands, putting rubbish in the bin etc. Fashion benefits from morals - like the idea of showering daily benefits the cosmetics/body care industry. I have a relative in one of

Don't worry, they're probably working on 2-year LEDs right now.

by t43562 2y ago
The problem is really about who gets the benefit of the longevity - e.g. I feel that with LED lightbulbs etc it is mostly the producer who has soaked up the economic benefit. As a user you think it's going to last longer and then for

In science many people have simultaneously discovered similar aspects of a problem - or someone discovered something and were ignored until someone else rediscovered it independently later. e.g. who invented the computer? or who discovered

Interesting how if anyone else created pictures like these we wouldn't really care.

I think you could posit the opposite - that he lost because he motivated more people to vote against him. Labour now hasn't united its opposition because I think nobody fears it much.

the fact that they were able to make that pact is probably because they're not miles apart and Corbyn couldn't get that to happen. e.g. I don't think I could ever have voted for him given his attitude on Ukraine but I could h

This sometimes turns out very badly - in the UK it led to "faster than a lettuce goes bad" Liz Truss for example. Conservative party members are an odd bunch. Labour also picked Jeremy Corbyn an election back. Ultimately the rest

I had to use TCL at a company where Prof. Ousterhout was on the board. I had used it a bit at university but I was coming from a Python job so, naturally, I hated its syntax BUT: 1. The project was in ancient C++ for many reasons and even

I like to start with a fairly unambitious bit of procedural code and gradually introduce abstractions when it starts to get complicated or repetitious. Straight code becomes functions, occasionally a group of functions cry out to become a c

If ssh was less useful it would have less of an attack surface. ..... at least this is my theory. Hence why I rather like it. github uses ssh keys - surely developers can learn to set those up?

Echoing some other posts a bit: my problem is that I see silly things happening over and over again and I find that telling people doesn't help. Every generation appears to have to learn the same lessons again the hard way. It's a

It's not the cycling that's the problem but that one can do nothing to stop it. People (perhaps including me) are dumb and insist on learning by making the mistake.

Surely it's all just about organising people on a larger and larger scale that has benefits? Perhaps an empire is a way to do that which works in the sense that some controlling centre has to be chosen and that's going to happen

yup, but the style of the modules starts to diverge as different people maintain them. IMO one does want people whose fulltime job is to looking at a codebase orthogonally to those who are just implementing a feature. People who make sure

I think that's a bit cruel. Usually mess happens because lots of people with different ideas about the future needs and best structure meet up in the code - and it's hard to develop a consistent culture. Also codebases get too lar

I just cannot face the thought of calling any of them "best". Every one had good and bad features though. One or two were OS-sized and I think a codebase that compiles and links to 85GB of output for 20+ devices without being a to

Airbnb has made it unnecessary to have friends in city X who will gladly let you couch surf - because lets face it: hotels are a prohibitive rip off. Hotel owners must hate it. To me it seems much more likely that this is the reason for su

It's interesting and I've experienced slow forks which lead to using a tiny companion process to execute programs (before spawn arrived). I have to say I hate CreateProcess more for taking a string rather than an array of string p

In some languages A might free a memory allocation e.g. after communicating with some server. If B also frees that memory then there is a bug. Presumably this means B's tests are wrong/incomplete. If B was mocking A to avoid the I

If your dependencies are unstable then that is very important to know! If it means you have to add forms of resilience then that's good for your code perhaps?
594.
by t43562 2y ago
That is a fairly good reason for trying to use external systems/tools that make testing easy/cheap to do. So a good approach would be to have tests where you can run with the mock and then run the same tests with the real system.

Why get rid of working e2e tests? IMO they are more useful than unit tests at finding the kinds of problems that stop a release/deployment. You can attack from both directions: e2e tests make sure that certain processes work in fairly

Von Braun was a Nazi party member and used slave labor IIRC. Why would anyone think he would change? I bet Von Braun didn't. The US just used him, after trying not to, because he was too useful. Nobody was going to give him any mor

no but this motor both avoids rare earths and also copper which is another desirable feature.

As far as electric motors are concerned we might want to consider using rare-earth-free motors. Example: https://advancedelectricmachines.com/ssrd/ This one also uses aluminium rather than copper wiring which has advan
