I have a more mixed approach.

Decisions or attempts, i try to document them as comments on the ticket. It feels a bit like a conversation with my future self 😄

Things that pop up in my head that I don’t want to forget, but don’t have time to write out, I put in a new tab on nodepad++

Archi things go as markdown in de source code

Investigations and reports in a wiki

All these have all the pros of an engineering handbook out of the box (date, issuer, …)

I only use paper for the stuff I don’t want a trail off and just want to throw away afterwards.

In c they do indeed just mean shorter and longer int as the size of the int is defined by the compiler and target and originally represented the hardware.

There are types like int32_t or int_least16_t.

In later .net version for loops can be slower than linq queries. If the compiler knows the iteration does not cause side effects, it often already does not allocate and can even vectorize some loops, so .Sum(…) might be faster then a manual for loop.

Optimizing without benchmarking is often wasted effort.

I think they especially make sense for records so you can easily create shallow modifyable value semantic types with little boilerplate code.

I do hate that all these features are yet more keywords and weird syntax. It’s becoming C##.

Like the records are just sytesized methods on classes or structs. We already have this in the language with source generation. If something there was missing to create records, it would IMO make more sense to improve the source generation so the community also has access to the ecmxtensions. And the record could be split up in it’s separate features (copy constructor, defaul ToString imp, equatable) so we could choose to use part of it.

I bought a TV running VIDAA. You can use it without wifi and disable everything and let it just start on an input.

I don’t know of it’s EU only.

Up to 1.2kW hopefully.

I’d say the index is actually an offset is a reasoning for explaining why it should start at 1. If index was an index, I’d just start at 1.

I don’t think any one is better than the other, but history chose 0.

That you can choose it in VB is probably the worst option :D

A kilogram or a pound have no real tangible comparison to real world things unless you yourself make the comparison

A kilogram is a 1l bottle of water. A ton a 1m3 cube of water or a car. 10 ton a truck.

Anything bigger is just unimaginable ^^

I highly doubt it, but go ahead and prove your claim.

I would turn that around cause you are claiming filters help prevent cancer. Producers should prove that, but they don’t. Filters don’t help.

Speaking as an ex-smoker who didn’t match the caricature

Good for you, but you are in the minority. I know no one that smokes that carry around a portable ashtray. If there is none in a couple of meters, they get thrown on the ground.

Smoking with a filter has no health benefits. Statistically, there are even more illnesses with people that smoke with filter cause they on average smoke more cause it irritates the throat less.

Our local cancer NGO even lobbied to ban filtered sigarettes as they cause more smoking and are plastic litter.

Don’t they already have electronic shifters?

You’ve also seen tiger king?

In Europe it’s not. If an article is sold by a private person to a company, no vat is added and if the company resells it, vat has to be calculated on the profits only and not the full sum.

This is especially true for second hand cars.

Pure aluminium is only used when you need to have very little reactivity.

General construction steel has >98% weight iron. Around the same as most aluminium alloys.

I think there was a Renault that worked like this. I think the main issue is that you need a decently sized battery that can supply enough power or else the ICE needs to start every time you hit the gas pedal like was the case with the older Prius models and then you might as well connect it to the wheels and you can have a smaller electric motor.

But batteries keep improving and you can pull more power per kWh now. Maybe with solid state batteries this power train could become the more affordable option.

There was a scooter sharing company that drove around, swapping the batteries. It went out of business and now there are only the Bird style scooters.

If there were battery swapping stations, I’d definitely by me a bike.

My money is on MusX

That is the case in Belgium.

It is not enforced tho. If you didn’t register as a donor, they will still ask the relatives, especially of they need to keep the body on life support after the person is declared dead.

The other side has a ditch that might be an open sewer. Those need to be mowed.

Cause selling new games is more profitable.

If a new games costs €60 and older games €5 or less (which would be a lot less on streaming services), they’d have to sell at least 12 old games for every new game they sell less cause of this change. And if gamers spend more time on older games, it’s highly possible that they’d buy, even just a single game, less.

It’s the same with movies or TV. They would only loose money if they make the whole archive available as there is just so much of it that some of the new things could become irrelevant.

Not that I’m against archiving, but it is caused by the creative sector having to have to make money, which isn’t easy for smaller players, and greed.
