I think economics will be a valid reason. Mostly as heat-exchangers continue to get efficiency gains, electric car prices continue to plummet, and solar continues to become more effective watts/$. While not all of these options will w

Love it. I remember the fan-made rom-hacks of final fantasy 5 ( they called FF6 FF3 in the USA, super confusing). Was super incredible and blew me away that it was even possible.

Really great point and also really illustrates the tree structure underneath the hood for git and how it rules everything. The joke that isn't a joke is that you really need a CS degree to use git. It's not wrong. The git default

generally environment variables are set with ALL_CAPS keys and underscores. Not sure if this is a bash hold over to differentiate ENV_VAR vs local reg_var or like an os/global constant naming hold over. Generally if you call "env&

The interesting thing about law is that even if the law doesn't absolutely protect you; the person that you believe infringing on your work for free had better be prepared to pony up lawyer fees to defend their work. I think this would

What got me to stop using reduce was when I and another sr. held a theoretical "gun" to a jr devs head and asked him what a block of code involving reduce did and they didn't have a clue. They were pretty bright; so I just

Because you'd have to fund a create a betting body that organizes this data and determines when it's low ranking or not. We don't need an SEC for tennis; what a colossal waste of taxpayer resources.

I'll do you one better. The US navy devised a formula based on height age and your neck and waist circumference and was 2-4% accurate for body fat calculation (it's not good for tracking relative changes tho). You can make general

I think Java, Haskell and C# are the main languages where you have both boxed and unboxed values (C++ if you start doing smart pointer stuff I suppose, tho "String" could be considered a very fancy boxed char*). Python, Ruby, and

I think the power requirements for the train might be the limiting factor tho. It's not quite the rocket equation but you can't just drain the whole battery pack on a 3% incline and get 15-30% back on the decline. a 4000 HP train

The whole problem with this shit is they don't always need a warrant. If you are a non-us citizen or you're deemed "a terrorist" they can do whatever. This complicates further with crap like the US spying on say Swedish

Escape Velocity was what got me into coding. I was huge into moding that game when I was younger on my old mac OS 7.x system. Absolutely fell in love with being able to extend the game. Thanks for bringing that up. Those were good times.
