They mention it: > There is an efficiency penalty converting back to electricity; round-trip efficiency is 40%-45%, but sometimes the steady supply of electricity is worth it.

I'm sure it is by revenue.

I think the Daughter From California will be perceived and treated the same way by care providers regardless of whether they end up being right, and regardless of their actual vs p…

I was this person for my dad's care, heading back to Canada from California after his third ambulance ride to the hospital and subsequent discharge a few hours later. Turns out his…

Yeah, you drive things with https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/window/requ... since it's dynamic

I feel like you might be (intentionally or not) combining these two things: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_ignorance https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought-terminat…

That's sick, great work.

It might be worthwhile to expand a bit in the docs on the problems you see with JS concurrency (why you think it sucks, maybe some examples) and then show how ts-chan fixes those p…

Here's a recent study which provides physiological evidence of aphantasia: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/04/220420092150.h...

I'm curious which features highland provides which RxJS doesn't. From what I understand, composable streams from any data source with backpressure support is pretty much the defini…

It’s very likely that you’ve been writing totally incorrect code without realizing it. Once you do realize it, it’s usually not too hard to fix the problem, depending on the langua…

I disagree as fervently as possible; always use reference counting smart pointers. It is substantially harder to guarantee exception safety if you don't make use of them. You'll al…

I run a Windows install natively, as it's far more reliable than any desktop Linux distribution I have ever used. I then run Ubuntu 9.10 in a virtual machine on one of my monitors …

That was the first solution I had for #1. I'm currently at the following, but I think there has to be a better one because it's not clear that it would be possible. G places the am…

This is a lot like the conductive metal buttons the city installed earlier this year at a number of pedestrian crossings here in Ottawa. They've worked great all summer, they don't…

No don't you'll kill us all

I hope that by "top shelf" they mean "will be considered at all"... with the exception of the last bit being entirely unrelated to web development, it was all really basic and the …

Fortunately, Canada has a sane policy on public health care and this isn't nearly the issue it is in the US.

You've nailed it; they did it backwards :(

I'd like to thank them for creating a better parody of themselves than anybody else could have.

I developed for Linux in C++ for about 8 months recently. We did all of our development from Windows with Visual Studio and Visual Assist X because Linux doesn't have anything even…

That's really cool that this guy thinks dynamic languages have the potential to be faster than C++. Maybe he can write a second article when they are actually faster, with some pro…

Sorry, I've read the article but I'm still a bit confused. Search engine aggregation has existed for a while. Besides rounded corners, what differentiates this search engine? "Phoe…

I really hope that's not you laughing like an idiot the entire time. It would have been far funnier without.
