    Lz4 decompresses with very little CPU load - a fraction of Zstd's load. When bottlenecked by CPU time rather than I/O it could make a large difference.

    Wooden structure is as durable as metal, it can rot if wet, but metal rusts if wet. Both can be painted, but its expensive and a bit polluting. Wood can be produced in systems vast…

    You shouldn't formulate the system like that - without any proportion. The proportions are what matters.

    It is somewhat deceptive framing, because methane can not accumulate in the atmosphere the way CO2 does. Its levels in the atmosphere will break down relatively quickly if we reduc…

    That is a humorous distraction. We need to put waste plastic into a billion bins, the billion bins empty into fewer larger bins and landfills are the final bins. The landfill area …

    Criticism is of interest to us when we are serious about achieving success. When really trying to achieve something, ideas of fatal flaws are fascinating. On the other hand during …

    Sorry I am commenting in a hurry, but I just have to say... Our way of living - is not a desirable standard. Your mileage may vary, you may be "making it" - but most people aren't.…

    In the article I linked, a paper is discussed "‘Earthquake response of ancient five-story pagoda structure of Horyu-Ji temple in Japan‘"

    How about the mass dampers in thousand year old Japanese pagoda architecture ? https://www.electronicsweekly.com/blogs/engineer-in-wonderla...

    Where there times when people who discovered sharing an interest were more keen to mine into each others insights or differences, than of late? Where people generally keener to inc…

    It is no small feat that what is essentially pre-debugged C64 Basic psuedo-code, is yet dynamically illustrated quite nicely by bespoke javascript rather than a pulled-in browser c…

    I have made a small webtool to help calibrate various EQs by ear. It kind-of mimics a graphic EQ in the browser which can also play tones around the EQs frequency bands, which shou…

    That is 1 reactor for 5000 years, or 5000 reactors for 1 year. It really is not much hard data in the context of regulating hundreds or thousands of reactors for decades. 5000 hard…

    5000 reactor-years is very little in comparison to the amount which would count up if similar units were somehow economically rolled out for industry. To play any significant part …

    I read code which is not highlighted with little want for color, except certain cases like mixed php and html where I find it really helpful to have the two separated into differen…

    I would say there is no strictly speaking there without a strict context. Bear in mind the characteristics of different animals excrement is not designed to any specification, it e…

    A project should garner favorable financing arrangements for its merits, not for its risks.

    Thankyou for re-distilling that for me. Besides my meager comprehension of the area it was fascinating.

    You seem to claim that quantum mechanics can/does in fact model chaotic behavior, only that such chaotic behavior is "not actually real" in ways. That claim would seem to contradic…

    > "Moar free speech lmao" doesn't sound measureable Did you just make up a ridiculous quotation and then attribute the sound of it to Musk ?

    As far as I have been able to gather he is an engineer of historic significance like Brunel and Stevenson. He does get involved in engineering, and quite evidently "gets involved" …
