. If you are writing enterprise scale code in Java, then you are wasting a lot of compute power. Why would that be the case?
If you implement a linked list in Java or C++, as each node is created, it will have memory allocated for it from the heap. When you are done with the list, each node must then be freed. With a million nodes, that is a million memory allocations and a million frees. Using custom allocators in C++, I can avoid all of those allocations and frees, and use a single memory pool for all of the objects. I can do the same thing in Java, by reusing "freed" nodes by keeping them in a free list. learned that around 1984 when programming in Pascal, where we had a "new" keyword" and pointers but no corresponding free/delete.
Otherwise I agree with you. If C++ had a standard cross platform Windows/Widget library, threading, and reflection (and everything that comes from it like serialization) and would compile to a VM, preferable the JVM (LLVM is not enough): I only would program in C++
Yeah there are big controversis about Saxony, e.g. the police there wants to buy war weapons (like tanks and real machine guns), which is basically unthinkable in Germany.
You can build in your country as much nuclear power as you want. I don't support nuclear power in Germany or the EU, it is to dangerous. And to expensive. And we don't need it. Why do you care how we make our power as long as it is without producing CO2?
Check wikipedia. They usually write an overview how much % per minute or per 10 minutes a 'typical plant' can change its power output. If you are so interested in particular plants, it likely makes more sense to write an email to their public relations office.
I point out that nuclear is cheaper than coal, safer than wind, and lower CO2 output than solar You claim that. But your claims are wrong. No one ever died to wind power... and you come back with a comment on how if we space Because you claimed, there would not be enough space to power everything with solar.
If competition from natural gas doesn't kill it then something else will. Har Har Har, natural gas is only cheap in the states. And as most nations are phasing out CO2 producing power plants, gas plants can not be build so easy anymore.
You have an extremely kleingeist point of view on the worlds energy production and evolution in changing it.
Furthermore, would that be first the duty of the minister for the interior. Which is Seehofer, who just had a bitch fight with Merkel over some nonsense...
Sorry, your post is complete nonsense. What actually is an "IP range"?
To wire tap a connection you need a court order. And if you have evidence for a crime or a crime in planning, you get that order and then you can record/analyze what the proposed criminal is doing.
More or less the same as in any "constitutional democracy" or "free government under the law"
We are in a full employment economy. According to Trumps agenda, in fact half of the US regions have an unemployment rate up to 30%, Ohio e.g. Sure, those are low populated and don't hurt much... strange that half of the US definitely is on a 3rd world level and you as a nation are not able to fix that.
Europe is tiny. It is bigger than a dozen "no wind cells", so it is to big to have no wind at all, that was the point.
I can drive across it in a day No you can't. If you drive 100mph for 24h you manage 2400miles, obviously... Europe is bigger than that in every direction. And If I pick you a worst case route you drive 4 days, good luck.
We can't grow crops in the shade. Of course we can... plenty of plants don't like direct sunlight, and you can cover a field in a way that at any time only 1/3rd is in shadows.
BTW: the amount of space to power the whole world with solar alone is astonishing small.
Of course that was more than 20 years ago now. That is why the armchair scientists have forgotten it already. And after you pointed it out to them, they will forget it again next week.
Using natural gas in cars would cut CO2 production per mile traveled in half compared to diesel fuel or gasoline, Cut down by a 1/3rd perhaps, probably less... certainly not halved.
Where do you read this nonsense? There was a bloomber article a few days ago, proclaiming that we had a heat wave in Europe (especially UK) and no wind at the same tim, oh shudder, I'm so scared now...
Didn't Europe just have two weeks where wind power produced 0 energy? Yes, pretty sure it did. No it had not. If you refer to that stupid bloomberg article, it was completely made up.
BTW: Europe is big. It is impossible to have no wind all over Europe at the same time.
Nuclear power is among the cheapest solutions That is just nonsense, regardless of your "unless" points.
The 5 employes of mom&pop pay taxes: X. The 1000 employes of megacorp pay taxes 200 * X.
You seem to be bad in math and business.
If the megacorp was not there, the 1000 employes would pay ZERO taxes, and probably would be unemployed and the city would pay the social aid for them.
The offshoring is a different issue and has nothing to do with the local policy of a city.
Getting 1000 jobs or more is HUGHE difference... the ripple effects are astronomic big.
Power costs in the US are dirt cheap. It is not plausible that it has any influence on business, unless you waste power... which is most likely because it is so cheap.

But for a geothermal plant it is a no brainer that it is dispatchable. The more water you pump down the more steam comes up ...

How is that fair to mom&pop?
Mom&Pop employs how many? 5?
MegaCorp employs how many? 1000?
Who is paying for the unemployed? The city. The tax payer, that is you.
While a "deal" is not fair, it still has its benefits for everyone.
Even mom&pop: because now they have more customers that can spent their money at them.

Greenpeace is working against CO2 and pro solar and pro wind since they are founded, moron.
Muslim in India are a minority, stupid idiot.

No one takws posts down on /. your stupid post will be available for everyone who is interested, for ever. Or as long as the "internet still works".
