How much of your EV charging money goes out the power plant smokestack, into the river/cooling tower, or heats up the air around the electrical wiring though?
i’m a proponent of EV’s, even when they charge from fossil powered grids, because of the thermodynamic efficiency gain.
But ragememes, no. Let’s not be like that.
I want that whole arrangement to be in a tip with a USB-C receptacle and a fixed voltage and barrel size so it’s barely bigger than my thumbnail and can be used with standard usb-c cables.
So I can get a “9V-5.5x2.5-Pos” to convert my casio keyboard to usbc, without all that other stuff hanging off and extra, unnecessary pieces
But yeah that’s cool
And O-circumflex “ô” in French indicates an elided “s”. hô = hos
now someone needs to make USB-C jack to barrel plug “tips” with the PD chip built in so I can substitute USB-C for wall wart transformers.
I make as much as possible to avoid the flavor additives, texture modifiers, and preservatives found in much packaged food.
I make waffles from scratch and freeze them for quick breakfast. Prep large pots of soup, chili, stew, etc and freeze in deli tubs.
But as to who is right? No answer on that. I have built up plenty of cooking experience so things that seem tricky or time consuming to other people don’t faze me.
Not the foot-shooting complexity though, just the extra-power complexity
Just going to throw out that electric heaters are the most expensive/least efficient way to heat electrically.
If you’re in the US, you can get a partial credit for improving windows, doors, and insulation (always the best first step).
You or your landlord can also get up to a $3000 credit toward a central heat pump system, which gives 3-4x the delivered heat for a given amount of electricity.
Thank god, Javascript is a mess.
I’ll still plug Scala for having the beauty of Python, the ecosystem of Java, the correctness of Rust, the concurrency of Go, and the power of Lisp.
Is COBOL subject to buffer overflows and use-after-free bugs? I honestly don’t know.
I don’t recall the COBOL code I’ve read using pointers.
lol, right, this is terrorism!
If 10 people are sitting at a table…
Unfortunately, Determinate’s installer doesn’t work on my new Macbook ☹️
When Russian citizens understand there are direct consequences to them, Russian citizens stop supporting Putin’s actions.
Personally I’m glad the sanctions have some bite. You can’t expect to just keep living your life as you wish when your country is obliterating its neighbors and disrupting stability worldwide.
What I enjoy thinking about is the futility of a QR code on an Interstate billboard or in the last 5 seconds of a TV spot.

Yeah let’s not forget the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) which was more full-featured of an object-oriented language than most “current” languages.
The dynamism allowed both Smalltalk and CLOS to avoid a dark corner that will confound your typical OOP’er today - the circle/ellipse modeling problem; they allow an object to “become” a different type on its own accord. Take that, Java!
I love your willingness to follow through
