Generally, I think of programming as about managing complexity. Simplifying and ranging the tangled objectives, tying loose ends and integrating with even more complex systems. So, naturally, as one progresses in the field, the level of com

Thanks. Well, roughly this is equivalent to 92909**2 = 8632082281 which is correct arithmetically, yet still not a clear application of dec point. Assuming 'pedes' is steps, 'untia', 'minuta', and '

Fun idea! Clear objectives and simple tools. It's also a remote control example. I find that "algorithmic thinking" is too artificial for young kids. They are very versatile in a richer set of methods, which often are mutuall

I'd feel no shame to properly use COMMON (via include) and GOTO with Fortran 2018. If this makes the code simpler, especially if meant to fit with older codebase. Modern Fortran is like both C and C++ in the same language.

The reporting was localized, not the freeze. The Tesla connector latch issues in freezing temps are likely common as well.

Battery preconditioning is automatic, when a Supercharger is picked through the Navigation map. Whether it will be sufficient, that depends on the temp and distance to the charger. Latch problems in freezing temps is not new. Some drivers e

Recent freeze in US Midwest exposed a lot of literally frozen Superchargers and long, looong lines of Teslas hoping to charge before already cold the battery drops to 0. Some people ended up stranded in the cold, so bad it made the news. H

I guess, there are at least two kinds of "retire": 1) retire from doing the job that you depend on for living, 2) retire from doing what you find rewarding. Sometimes both of these coincide. Lucky! Sometimes you grow into acceptin

One of the factors of burning out is a lack of control over the pipeline, that is over the contents, speed, and quality of what flows in and out. So the weekend coding is an example of the opposite - having control over the choices, owning

It'd be even more insightful if the significant figures discussion touched upon rounding that may be inherent to the calculations. Take sin(x), C math would give a different approx value for sin(x+2*pi) even though it should be the sam
