How so? Do I now learn slowenian or serbian to talk with girls from there? Or should I learn frensh, and have a funny sexy accent? Or is it better to stick to english as the people from there likely speak english anyway?
The BREXIT will basically change nothing for the rest of the EU, I doubt we even bother to remove it from the list of official languages to translate legislative texts into.
The only changes will be: a) banking fees for transfering money into and out of the UK b) data and speech roaming fees c) passport needed instead of simple id card to enter the UK, or for the brits to enter the EU d) strict border controls for people comming by plane e) probably some hardships for hobbyist sailors f) work permit required for people from one side working in the other side (how idiotic) g) probably different languages thought in school in the UK... no idea h) probably visa requirements and other nonsense
Depends on the country. In Thailand it is a high honoured skill/job. In relation to other jobs, you nearly can earn a fortune. You easily earn twice as much as you need for a month, with a half time job. Having a visa and a work permit as a teacher is no problem at all. Basically every school that gives you a certification also guarantees a job afterwards. However the Thai are very special:887 they value after work education, further qualifications etc. very very high and are ready to pay absurd prices. E.g. a 12 weekends Thai massage course costs about 3 monthly wages.
Chinese like most asian languages, is one of the most simplest languages in the world, only topped by Korean and Japanes which are even simpler.
You are probaly scared by writing with Kanji, but when you get used to it, it is not that complicated either.
How hard can it be to learn a language, where every word is just one or two sillabels, which has no gender and only one or two times, no singular, nor plural? Wich basically has nothing like complicated European languages?
You think a japanese or chinese speaks bad english because they are to dumb? English, probably the simplest european language, at least for 'germanic' nations, is ten times more difficult than Chinese or Thai, Korean or Japanese.
In Papua New Guinea they pay taxes, too. Unfortunately violence against women seems to be extremely high there. And also surprising: 75% of the population are some variation of protestant christians, the rest are catholics.
If it was not about language features, we would not distinguish between: a) object oriented languages, e.g. SmallTalk b) procedural languages, e.g. C
And we would not distingush between 'object based' and 'object oriented'.
I suggest to read a book about it...
it isn't about language features, it is about engineering practices. Thinking object oriented and engineering with object oriented principles does not make your C program object oriented. It is still either only a procedural program or it is 'object based' at best.
And have fun implementing polymorphisum in C without vtables. You could use generic functions though...
It's also the reason techs tend to dislike them. On slashdot...
Go to a conference, preferable by train, then count the laptop brands in the train restaurant or on the conference tables, especially if the conference is related to Open Source or the Java eco system. 90% of the laptops are Macs... every techie likes them, as one above mentioned: we don't like to fight with our computer.
Get a program called uculele and design your own keyboard layout. I have a german keyboard, and a "programmers keyboard layout" that remaps the german umlaut keys, and a few others... more or less to the american layout.
Your home directory should definitely neither be/home nor/Users... try: "echo $HOME" in a terminal, and learn why the inventors of unix considers such environment variables;D
We have actually quite a few parallel running fusion projects. Germany also has its own reactor btw.
Erm, I read the article just not in depths. So I have to contradict you, it looks very promising for a sustained reaction. Not sure if it would be net positive so.
Well, the number of neurons in a human brain is estimated to a round number of 100 billions. On average each of those neurons is interconnected by 7000 synapses to other neurons, this is 700 trillion interconnections.
While you probably can "simulate" the thought processes of a human with your FPGAs you can not simulate so many neurons and synapses.
My 17" MacPook Pro (not using it often right now) running 10.6.x also had uptimes around 100 days and more. I basically restart a laptop only when an OS upgrade demands a restart.
At my current customer I have to use a Windows 10 laptop. I hate it.
Britain is a cold, dark country so we need lots of energy at night Unlikely. In Germany nightly load is about 45% of daily peak. In France is about 65% I think Chances are that you are in the same range. I never heard about country that uses more _electricity_ at night then during daytime. But there probably are some.
Right now only very few countries, and then only in a small region, allow fully self driving cars.
Don't you relize what kind of nonsense you are writing here? I told you know several times: I worked for self driving car equipment companies. In my town we have three or four cars running self driving, under supervision (see above) since a decade.
I never heard that an electric engine had different efficiencies at different rpm's. And honestly: why should that be the case?
Chargers are also close to 99% efficiency... transmission losses don't really make sense to count in. You pay what the meter displays at your house. No one cares how much loss you had before, that is up to the grid operator.
And: oil is transported in pipelines, usually. And they have transmission losses, too. That is how pipelines work. They have pumps every few dozen km, those pumps usually are run by burning oil or gas.
Looks like you are mixing up torque with efficiency:) Anyway the point of my original post was: an EV is significantly more efficient than a ICE vehicle.
You said in your previous post: we started with fission because it is 'easier, safer and cheaper'.
Anyway, fission power plants are no danger. The multiple 100 million degrees plasma is basically a vacuum. The whole amount of 'hydrogen' is not much more than a thimble.
If the plasma touches the walls it is basically not melting anything but just cooling down...
Well, I only glanced over the article, but it looks like they are pretty close to have a long running probably even net positive fusion reaction soon. I wonder how their design differs from ITER.
Depending what you read it in fact looks more like spanish/italian. But the inventor took plenty of words from other languages.
Somehow he tried to do word counts, how many languages have certain word either naturally or as a foreign word. E.g. in that poem I noticed 'perfekt' which is basically the german writing for 'perfect', that word is similar in most romanic and germanic languages. In Esperanto every 'k' sound is written as k, so the c is replaced by a k.
The Esperanto word for ticket is e.g. 'billeto' (or something like this), in german this is a easy understood 'foreign word'. Not really used in practice but I guess everyone would understand it. In most romanic languages you have a similar word. Not sure how common that word in english is:)
I once thought about writing a compiler using Esperanto as 'programming language' but then I worked a while with HyperTalk and AppleScript and realized that to many sentences mean the exact same thing but only one compiled/worked.
If you use a non object oriented language like C and use tricks with manually constructed vtables (a table with pointers to function) to be 'pseudo object oriented', then this is called 'object based' and not 'object oriented'. I don't care how some people call it, as they are certainly not software developers or they would know the difference:)

Perhaps you missed this excellent posting: https://science.slashdot.org/c...
Or it is simply to complicated for you to grasp?
True, I have to hit alt-n for it.
If you prefer /home, make a sym link perhaps?
What is the difference between a portable and a laptop in our times?
Yes, my laptop is never switched of, it sleeps.

if you are in a shell you should use either use ~ or ~username.
If you write a script it should most of the time be $HOME.

Macs run on a unix system. Obviously Ms bollocks can not cut that.
I realyl wonder why we have this threat ...
Pros use tools that suit their job. Windows doesn't.
We have actually quite a few parallel running fusion projects.

As this project is run by a private company, you hardly can tell them how to 'better invest their money' :)

No idea why you don't want to google for that.

Why are you so silly?
There is plenty of material available, why not simply google for self driving cars?
