There is nothing obvious around that - it is driven by what abstractions the language provides related to concurrency, and with different choices you will end needing different ways to interact with it. So yes, given how the language design

In either case "Fair use" is a thing very limited to USA and does not apply outside it. There may be similar things in other jurisdictions, but it cannot be assumed the same reasoning and rules apply.

Eventually they will catch up to the level of GDP Germany have and then they will start to roughly match their growth rate, over time. It is a lot easier to catch up than to break new ground when it comes to gdp per capita.

While what you say is true, there is still a huge gap between the performance of javascript (and even Ruby) and that of Python. The efforts to optimize Python are lagging behind, so there is a lot of things that still can be made faster.

You don't challenge them by pretending they don't exist. That only make you look like an asshole. The proper way here would have been two pull requests, one with all the bugfixes, and one with the new feature with a cover letter m

Strict antitrust sense don't look at actual monopoly to trigger, but just if you use your standing in the market to gain unjust advantages. Which does not require a monopoly situation but just a strong standing used wrong (like abusing

Off by 1-errors is not part of the original quote, but is just a later addon to make it funny. They also tend not to be very hard.

So you install an outdated system and dislike that the system very clearly tells you it is outdated and that there is an upgrade? There can also be updates on fresh systems, if said updates are released after the installer image was built.

Bad architecture can happen in any language. I don't see how the language choice could ever protect you against the described structural problem you built. Also you will see that the answer to most actual performance problems tend to b

Well, I don't think anyone is expecting the framework to work this time either after earlier tries has been invalidated. It is just panicked politicians trying to kick the can to avoid the fallout that happens when it can't be kic

Again, more players in the market (both batteries and the renewables they enable) and the base fact that batteries pull prices toward the mean means that if anything, they would be exactly one of the mechanisms to avoid manufactured scarcit

If it is profitable to produce heat, it means prices are negative. If prices are negative, then that is true also for cold people. On the other hand if prices are high, and someone has sells electricity that was bought when prices were clos

While true that it happens in certain cases, the onus of showing that it would be the case in this specific case is still on you.

Such an utility would be a speculator.

If this was implemented in full scale, then it would .. stabilize energy prices towards the mean, and make the energy transmission more stable and resilent in general. I'd happily pay some overhead for that, as it also mean the network

Or in the case of batteries: Requires a whole lot of hardware to be bought to get a reasonable economy of scale.

The Germans are also pretty ridiculous around titles, in that not only can you have multiple titles, and each are mentioned, but you can also have several copies of each. So someone can be Herr Doktor Doktor Professor.

Good, especially if there are also budgets somewhere to fix issues they have with it.

And funnily enough it is the other party that actually deliver improvements, while the party that campaigns on it just cut taxes when in power.

You are complaining about a symptom of not having enough experienced people onboard. Juniors will make a mess, regardless of if they try to use something existing or reinvent the wheel. Knowing when and what to reinvent is just a function o

No, changing definitions was exactly how we ended up with SI units. That was a very good (and necessary) thing and definitely not the sky falling down.

It was a breaking change, but it was really small and affected only very few usages. Most places just went on with no changes. It was not at all a painful change. Also Rubyists as a whole tend to update to the newest Ruby fairly fast. There

The discussion about what should be the default behavior and of what should be the opt-in behavior is very different from what should be possible. It is definitely clear that in c++, it must be possible to not initialize variables. Would it
