Surely the non-selfish solution is for the person drinking all the Tejava to just say to the office manager "I really like that Tejava stuff but so does everyone else and there's never any left, can we stock more of it?" I se

For ICE vehicles production and disposal are about 15% of the total carbon footprint, the rest is fuel and servicing. Lat time I saw the figure the total impact of producing an EV was more, but the lifetime impact was about 30-40% of an ICE

Surely the understanding is the main purpose though. The value of being able to do long division is pretty minimal; the value of understanding how division actually works and the fact that you can break down one hard problem into multiple e

What I've seen generally is that teachers and homework teach how to do something, then reinforce that through endless dull repetition, instead of teaching the 'why', which would massively reduce the amount of reinforcement ne

I've had a reasonable number of crashes with VimR. It's definitely got a lot better, but not enough that I'd use it for work.

Exactly: if you have constraints on your work, then recognise the constraints and work within them. Don't try to mix 3D realistic faces in with low-fidelity 2D art, because it just ends up sticking out like a sore thumb. And at least c

I'm not sure about this logic though. I've been thinking about it recently as I'm on a similar renewable-only tarrif with a different energy company and was thinking of switching to an eletric car. If the price is the same as

Reading this post makes me feel like I'm living in some kind of dystopian scifi novel. One interesting side effect of the recent Extinction Rebellion protests that stopped all traffic in large parts of London is how much more aware of

Isn’t the basic problem the use of multiple choice? Being able to write a few hundred words arguing an opinion about a poem (right or wrong) has some value. Picking an arbitrarily chosen ‘right’ answer from a list has almost none. I don’t t

For AFib, is there likely to be much predictive ability for the watch? Would the watch be able to warn of an onset of AFib before the wearer is aware of it? I was wondering if it was worth buying one for my dad, who has AFib attacks about 3

Exactly. Any decent lecturer is going to give you printed lecture material with this kind of detail already, your written notes are exactly that: notes on the material of important information and extras to help recollection.

Exactly. I've had endless arguments about that exact point with shared_ptr. IMHO, shared_ptr should be used as a last resort, where ownership of something truly is shared. Use unique_ptr for everything else. Just using it for convenien

Sure, but for a car your cost of ownership is affected by the resale price. If that drops $30k overnight the car suddenly becomes much more expensive to own.

I normally find that IDE Vim plugins are almost good enough, but not quite. They fall into a kind of uncanny valley where they'll support most of what you need, but that makes the bits that are missing more jarring. That, plus they o

The default vim config is pretty weird: incremental search is off by default for some reason, I think it still defaults to using tabs for indentation, it doesn't change the working directory to the current file's.

I tend to switch back and forth depending on what I'm doing. I haven't found a Java IDE that can match vim+fzf for speed of editing, and ctrl-n autocomplete is generally good enough. For debugging, refactoring or working with some

That does sound like a great idea. You could even add some automated optimisation recipe suggestions: “if you add these two ingredients to your basket, you could use the leftover vegetables from recipe A to also make recipe B”
