They are literally using gravity to move water from higher altitude to lower altitude. Whoever wrote “gravity defying” should go back to high school. This is just gravity at work.

I agree that people skills change over time, which is why I, as a driver, am in favor that every driver should retake the driving exam and a health exam every 2 years. I am also in favor of enforcing this for all foreign drivers going throu

Our C++ code base has been using Clang modules and all those optimizations (explicit template instantiations, incremental linking, dynamic libraries, etc.) since 2011.. It also supports unity builds, and C++ modules TS, so we can compare th

Sorry, I made a mistake, I meant 1% of the list price is taxed (so you end up paying 0.45% per month of the list price).

No, but you can earn more per year and earn much less per hour of work. That’s the problem with Tesla in Germany: annual salary is 10-20% higher, hourly salary is 30% lower. My friends quitting lost in yearly salary, but won huge in hourly

That’s correct, but if you want to actually not pay the 1%, you need to justify how much time you use the car privately or for work, and the way you do that is per km: by tracking all trips that you make in kms and tracking how many of thos

I know a couple of people (EDIT: two people) that have started working for Tesla in Germany and the one that was there the longest quit in less than 6 months. Basically, Tesla does not pay enough here for competent people to work for them.

There is nothing preventing the Rust language definition to add a constraint to type checking saying "recursion depth <= 128" or something like that (e.g. depth <= N where N is an implementation-defined constant). In fact, s

So how do you know if the code that Copilot regurgitates is almost a 1:1 verbatim copy of some GPL'ed code or not ? Because if you don't realize this, you might be introducing GPL'ed code into your propiertary code base, and
