Also, the C++ committee is very serious about not paying for what you don't use. You can rest assured that there's no unused, hidden C++ bloat that is chipping away at your frame budget. This is not meant to be a strawman agains

I was thinking of a 12" glass sphere with an 11.5" black sphere inside of it. The black sphere would be the thermal mass (maybe full of water) and it would have temperature sensors all around. Then in the space between, some air.

From what I've read, stomping on the breaks with respect to CO2 emissions would very quickly, and very dramatically increase global average temperature due to reduced aerosol masking. https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.co

Sounds simple but it would be hard to get an accurate test. I mean, it's not a basic kitchen experiment, is it? And why is it that modifying such a small part of the atmosphere (0.04%) can cause such a huge problem?

Is it wise to antagonize dangerous wild animals like that? I would've left it alone and hoped that it did the same in return. Then again, if I were to start hiking, I'd probably read up on these things so I'm not a complete i

I recently started trying to learn c++ and I'd say I've got the basics down. Sometimes I'll watch a talk by Scott Meyers or Jason Turner and realize how little I know, and how deeply complicated things can get. Then I go back

Any tips on house selection? What do you stay away from when looking at candidates? How many weekends does it typically take before you're ready to sell? This sounds like something I'd do even if it just barely covered costs (incl

But in the end, your program is still using threads. So the "don't use threads" mantra fails.

Well, when I was growing up, common sense said I should ride on the side walk. The side walk was hardly ever used and perfectly suited to riding a bike. The road was much more frequently used; by 3000lb death machines piloted by zombies. N

Oh, children actually play outside on the lawn in your area; that's wonderful. But using an inefficient roof angle isn't free. That loss of output has a cost. I would think that in some cases it is a significant cost, so I'm

That's disappointing. It's too bad the tracking systems are such a burden. But what about a simple wooden structure to hold fixed panels oriented optimally? That's a few thousand dollars at most, for a twenty to sixty percent

Slightly off topic, but why is there so much discussion about fixed rooftop solar compared to a ground based system with tracking? Seems to me a ground based system would be easier and safer to set up, easier to keep clean, and easier to ke

Starlink, Tesla, and SpaceX are not at all considered impossible. In fact, all three have active competition. I'd put mars colonization and hyperloop under the "widely considered impossible" category though.
