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 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 perceived motivation, so from that perspective I think it sti

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 first doctor at the ER had correctly identified the li

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 definition of Rx. Sometimes simplicity is a feature, too

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 also be able to program more quickly without devoting extra me

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 or in Unity mode or what have you. This works very well for

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 amulet in his safe, attaches his padlock and locks it with his

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 wear out as quickly because they aren't mechanical, but the

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 solutions should be required knowledge.

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 properly done benchmarks or some valid technical examples.

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? "Phoenix is pretty, but that’s not really the point. What matters
