4ms is 1.4 meters (4'6") of sound in air. That's less than half the length of a concert grand, so at most it would double the latency as experienced by the pianist's ears.
Yes. Given the regrettable failure of Wandel durch Handel, Russia would have attacked sooner or later. As it is, expending mostly obsolete European materiel in a trade for Russian materiel at an extremely favorable ratio, in the course of a war fought off NATO soil with a reduced risk of nuclear escalation, is about the best possible scenario.
It depends on the level and domain of your language. A low-level language can get by with just byte arrays. A mid-level language should probably handle at least some encodings, and provide codepoint access. A high-level language should handle locale-sensitive casing and collating, and grapheme-cluster access (note that this depends on the font!).
You do it at the Planck temperature (1.4e32 K), obviously, giving one Planck mass (22 micrograms) per nat, or 15 ug/b. This probably has some physical relevance, but I'm not sure what.
If you zoom out they are very recognizably QR codes. A commenter made the point that what you're seeing in that case is the low frequency component of the image. Kind of like the Marilyn Monroe / Albert Einstein illusion.
> Maybe the language should work the other way around and everything should be constexpr by default and functions should opt out of constexpr-ness, but that's 40 years too late for C++.
That's how lambdas behave in C++, so it's definitely feasible. gcc has a flag, -fimplicit-constexpr I think, that does this for regular functions, and it doesn't appear to cause any significant issues. I think there has been some talk around making this the language behavior at some point in the future.
It's what's left when you remove any sensory experience. Things happen, and when I wake I have the short term memory that they happened. You could describe it as narrative, but that would imply that there's language involved, and it's more abstract than that.
Sure. A heat pump only needs to be 170% efficient to make back the generation losses. As for infrastructure losses, natural gas distribution has leaks as well.
Also, if the power plant is integrated into a CHP system to heat nearby households then generation gets back some percent.
If you don't want an apartment block on your lot, you don't have to build one! But if your neighbor wants to build one, what moral right do you have to stop them?
Because the first dropped vertical is too long. The left hand angle is beta plus alpha, so it should be ninety degrees, but instead it's an obtuse angle.
> Before the adoption of "North Sea", the names used in English were "German Sea" or "German Ocean", referred to as the Latin names "Mare Germanicum" and "Oceanus Germanicus", and these persisted in use until the First World War.
Neither of those had anything to do with moving people from the countryside into the cities, as far as I'm aware. The Chinese Communist Party is still trying to suppress rural-urban migration (e.g., via hukou).
The majority of head injuries cycling are to the side, from falling at low speed. Certainly if someone is going at 30mph or above they should be wearing a helmet. But only a minority of cyclists will ever get anywhere near that speed.
> I find it extremely strange that some bicyclists would choose simply not to ride at all just because a helmet is required.
It comes down to convenience. Driving has to contend with congestion and parking, public transport with schedules and stops, cycling with bad drivers and maybe weather. Adding one more inconvenience can swing the balance towards another transport mode.
The rest of the industry is paying. "Any losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund to support uninsured depositors will be recovered by a special assessment on banks, as required by law.". RIP the $250k FDIC limit, I guess.
