    Is there a list of useful science/inventions that this project has led to?

    I think explicit management of the event loop and the associated potential for grievous bugs has a lot to do with it.

    Construction costs have been outpacing headline inflation by a huge amount. This has accrued to costs of repairs easily exceeding 20-30% over a few years ago.

    I applaud the aim to make lean and fast websites, but the lack of timer and drag+drop on this game makes it unusable, so I think this actually makes the reverse point -- one should…

    Ah, that makes more sense -- it might be a good idea to integrate with the upstream library as a submodule rather than lifting the actual .cpp/.h files into the bindings repo. That…

    This is the commit history: https://github.com/TkTech/can_ada/commits/main/ I guess you are right that there are 2 commits from a different dev, so it is technically not a solo pro…

    It seems unlikely that this C++ library written by a solo dev is somehow more secure than the Python standard library would be for such a security-sensitive task.

    I'm really curious what a tech-focused car manufacturing company like Tesla would use for something like this.

    This doesnt take into account capacity factors. A "800MW" solar plant would be expected to actually product 10-25% of that after day/night and seasons are taken into account. Nucle…

    This is specifically about plastic recycling. Metal, glass, organic waste recycling are very much economical and good for the environment.

    Solar isn't a useful source of energy for heating in California, since the demand is almost entirely during winter mornings/evenings where the sun is down.

    Experimental methods and data analysis are usually scrutinized in peer review, whereas wild, unsubstantiated economic claims such as the above are not. I think we need a higher bar…

    Plastic is about the best carbon sink you could imagine, locks up those Cs for hundreds of years, unless it gets combusted.
