As far as I am aware you need multiple magnets to make this happen, just one will cause it to "fall" off. In the video it's just one magnet, and it doesn't try to "slide" away when it's moved past the edge

Yeah, but multiple returns are _used for other things_. So they encompass error returns _and other things_. Multiple returns by the way would be product types that are being automatically unpacked. One of Go's core missions is to keep

One of the more interesting undecidable problems out there is kolmogorov complexity. It basically asks the question: given a string what is the smallest program that generates that string. Which fundamentally is the question of compression.

You'll need to support loading two versions of each DLL into memory and invoking both on some percentage of servers to be able to replicate a microservice though. The important part of microservices isn't just API boundaries, it&

That's just a microservice enabled by configuration.

Microservices enable independent scale _domains_. This means they can be more scaleable and dense, but it's not necessarily true.

The process described uses a feature of AV1 to generate film grain based on parameters. Or exactly what you proposed.

You are correct that in a Teller-Ulam design most of the energy can come from fusion, but as a note it's generally a fission-fusion-fission design in "modern" deployments with about 50% of the energy coming from fusion. http

Solar and wind power are not sufficient for spacecraft, and many other applications. Fusion power still has very interesting applications.

The net gain of the entire system at NIF doesn't matter, because the system at NIF was never designed to make a net gain. People are estimating how this result moves the equation for an overall system that is designed for power produc

Why? You just feedback the energy generated from the process into the lasers. Most powerplants have an initial negative net energy.

The lasers they use today are 20x less efficient than state of the art. The capacitors are also massively less efficient. So they only "need" to drive the Q factor of the reaction up by ~5x to be positioned to build something with
