To be a little nit-picky the grid includes Scandinavia through HVDC connections with the rest of Europe, see [1] for the entire ENTSO-E grid. If you mean the synchronous grid, Denmark is part of Scandinavia and its continental part is synchronised with the rest of Europe.

They'd also have to spend a lot on marketing. Usual estimates put the marketing costs at close to the same as production costs. They might make more money releasing the movie but would also make a larger loss.

Nope, don't like it. It's also a little disingenuous to switch the example halfway through. Anyway, I fixed your code, with exceptions

    def get_user(user_id: str) -> User:
        rows = users.find(user_id=user_id)
        if not rows:
            raise Exception("user not found")
        return rows[0]

    def rename_user(user_id: str, name: str) -> User:
        user = get_user(user_id)
        user.name = name
        return user, None

Because you chose the most expensive energy provider? I pay significantly less than 47ct/kWh in Germany.

If error codes can be looked up, why can't the software displaying the error code just do the lookup and show a proper error message?

I suppose you apply. If I'm not mistaken it's the ETHZ's formula student team https://www.amzracing.ch/en

Not sure if this is still the case or only some legacy stuff, but at least for a while chinese websites used numbers instead of names, China Railway for example uses 12306.cn as their domain name.

> This led the French to immediately propose that French become the official language of the EU parliament but the rest of the countries wouldn't have it, and rightly so.

Didn't happen, they just said they'll use French during their council presidency (not the parliament, it's not even mentioned in your article), that's all, there are no rules against that. They would've done it regardless of Brexit.

For German these rules are offical. They're used in the machine readable part of ID cards and passports. If you start at a german company and they setup an e-mail address for you they'll use these rules too. The origin of the letters ä, ö and ü in German are ae, oe and ue, people just put the e on top of the vowel and they slowly transformed into what we use today. You can still see this in some names like Goethe.

> Apple mostly went around the carriers initially

The first iPhone was only available with a contract, they literally didn't go around the carriers, at least in the USA (AT&T) and Germany (T-Mobile).

They chose an ARM CPU by SiPearl. The European Processor Initiative (EPI) lists them as French/German. Interestingly Forschungszentrum Jülich (which this supercomputer is for) is also listed as member of EPI.

But there's a big research center next to the small town.

True, but I think the solution to that problem is simply less cars. On-street parking it's a huge subsidy for car owners, if people had to prove that they own a parking space fewer people would have cars.

You tell me, here's the statistics for electricity generation from fossil fuels https://energy-charts.info/charts/energy/chart.htm?l=en&c=DE...

And yet it wasn't replaced by coal as that is getting phased out too.

> arriving at loads more coal production

Where is this "fact" coming from? Coal is being phased out. Numbers for last year increased slightly, but that was due to gas, not nuclear shutdowns. For this year coal usage is on track to being at 2020 levels, which was an outlier year.

It's not just Nokia, basically everyone working on 6G proposoals is working on this under the name joint communication and sensing.

Gender comes from french genre, latin genus, same origin as generic and and means class/kind/sort it just shifted in meaning and now doesn't fit that well anymore.

For computer I give you a French ordinateur and a German Rechner (computer is more common but Rechner is still used).

It was operated by a human surgeon.

Any random website can implement WEI, using it as a means to deem a website "safe" doesn't make much sense. You could use a list of "trusted" domains for that to mark websites as "safe". WEI's intention/threat is to kill smaller browsers that refuse to implement it.

> 2027: Non-WEI compliant websites are marked as "insecure" by Chrome and Safari. Accessing them requires confirmation through a "yes, I accept the risk" dialog box.

Did I misunderstand WEI? It's an API a website can use to confirm that a client is "authentic", so shouldn't this rather be "Goodle/Apple/Facebook/... drops support for Non-WEI compliant browsers".

Wait, there are special electricians for three-phase in the US, is this like an additional certification or are the normal ones scared of three phases?

I'd say it's slowly happening. There was a large drop in 2019[0] by around 25% (~50TWh) from 2018, ignoring the 2020 drop (around 25% ~33TWh compared to 2019) due to the pandemic, 2021 was almost back to 2019 levels (-3.5%) and 2022 was an increase by ~6.5% compared to 2019. Looking at quaterly data[1] it looks like 2023 will be well below 2019 again. And no, it hasn't been replaced by gas[2], although there's no clear trend in gas for electricity, if anything gas consumption is down due to the war.

Never seen that, I'm only aware of "logiciel" for software.

Good to hear that the pipelines can be reused. For home appliances we really should move away from using natural gas and not try to substitute it with hydrogen instead, heat pumps and district heating are better solutions.

Are we? Do you have a source for that? Unless it has already been built with hydrogen in mind we'd need completely new infrastructure, pipepines, storage and turbines in power plants.

As far as I as an Erlang developer can say, I think there's a misunderstanding about arity in Elixir (and probably even more misunderstandings on everything else that's borrowed from Erlang). There is no "Pattern matching on arity feature". Normal functions are defined by a name and arity, `foo/1` and `foo/2` are two different functions and not two clauses of the same `foo` function. Erlang makes this clear when it forces you to export both instead of just exporting `foo`, maybe Elixir just tries to hide this limitation. Funs/lambdas are limited by this too, as another comment already showed, funs are sometimes (often?) compiled to normal functions.

I'm no expert on this, but a minimum viable size exists and it's much larger than what you could just launch into space. I watched a video on this years ago, I don't recall the exact relation to size but if I'm not remembering this completely wrong there's a minimum size you need for a fusion reactor to "ignite", ITER is huge for a reason.

Isn't that to be expected? I only used Terraform for AWS, but the Terraform resources correspond almost directly to those of AWS CloudFormation and AWS's API.
