For the storage heaters I had the 'bricks' seemed to be mainly iron oxide IIRC. Also I am struggling to believe water has that multiples of capacity over brick, do you have a ref?

I wonder why you say this. Having actually had them, they're insulated and you can open/close vents as you choose. And weather is usually pretty predictable; when it's winter it's cold. Oh look, the article even says thi

Some rare nice words from me about C# - the not-null facility is great. It's very basic propagation that should be better and I've fought the compiler too many times over it, but I really like the compile time guarantee it gives

I know Dijkstra's paper and it's short, good and should be read but this article is wrong in saying always . It feels like a newbie programmer came across a good thing then lost all proportion; use the right tool for the right jo

IIRC (bit rusty now) python makes you do exactly [x, y + 1) in code and it pisses me off which is why I did my own trivial end-is-included range for loops.

I don't have synesthesia to any notable degree but what you're describing kind of makes sense as being it. Not tastes for me, but sounds can elicit such responses eg. a sound having graphite steel I can well imagine. Or other thin

Rewriting the parser portion of anything is not 'massive'. Boring as anything, but mot difficult and not much time consuming.

Closures are implemented as objects under the skin, but that doesn't make them equivalent conceptually to me. I suppose it's down to syntax, after all if you ignore that you can have anything you like in assembler, but it won&#x27

Using the carcass 100% or 0% after death will not affect by a jot the fact the animal was killed, nor erase in the slightest any suffering it went through. If an animal died in agony then how the carcass was used does not erase any of that

My point was about suffering + killing of the animal. What happens after was irrelevant. 'pink slime' was irrelevant, and 'disrespectful' was a absurd term. But they move attention from the issue of suffering + killing.

She was trying IIRC to prevent them suffering nearly so much before slaughter which seems like a better thing.

I'm going to be really brief here and careful also as I'm in no place to critique or even comment being a monoglot non-poet, so take this as intended... English word order and general form can be messed with and twisted perhaps mo

My (inexpert) view is that it might be the last ISA because a general purpose ISA will become less important. I see the cpu core as being more like a glue that connects together specialist hardware, so you have a wide SIMD number cruncher (
