Ok, not in the US so idk. the last CFL bulb I bought was long before 2009.
Either way, the brain still uses more power than a 13W CFL, and the tumblr post is from 2018, and the Reddit post is even more recent. "It would have been technically correct if it was posted 20 years ago" doesn't really change the fact that it's not true anymore
Yeah and LED bulbs were the norm 15-20 years ago. my point is this is a repost of a Reddit repost of a Tumblr comment that was reposting a factoid that was already wrong when it was originally posted 5-6 years ago.
You should look at how OPs example works first maybe
The python interpreter isn't parsing comments, the add() function is just getting the current line number from the call stack context, and using a regex to spit out the numbers to the right of the "#" on the current executing line of the source code.
The add function in the example above probably traverses the call stack to see what line of the script is currently being executed by the interpreter, then reads in that line in the original script, parses the comment, and subs in the values in the function call.
This functionality exists so when you get a traceback you can see what line of code triggered it in the error message
Git doesn't automatically recursively add all files in the directory to the repository though - VSCode decided that should be the default behavior, while other editors (intellij) ask if you want to add newly created files to version control
The library is a mile from me too, that's a 30 minute round trip, or I have to drive and pay for parking
I bought a $60 inkjet 10+ years ago. Every 3-4 years I buy a multipack of aftermarket ink for $30. Every 18 months when the cartridge dries up half full in my printer I chuck it knowing the $5 of ink I just wasted saved me $400 in billable hours
The poster above asked for a use case. I gave one.
Frankly I don't give a shit if the market penetration of said use case doesn't meet whatever arbitrary cutoff you have deemed sufficient for something to "exist" or not - the QR code on the back of every north american bag of Starbucks beans is proof enough. Whether its more or efficient than a traditional RDBMS is irrelevant
Once again, we are talking about blockchain, not Bitcoin
You realize blockchain is used by many large companies for practical purposes, not just by hobbyists swapping magical internet money, right?
Many large retailers (e.g. Walmart) and pharmaceutical companies use managed blockchain solutions (e.g. IBMs supply chain software) to track end to end process flow and see the pedigree of products at their end destination, because it means the end user doesn't need to request unfettered access to 6 different companies ERP systems to know when the hell their purchase order is getting delivered
It's a solution that allows two parties, who are so paranoid they don't trust banks, let alone one another, to send funds and maintain a record of transactions with one another.
To be fair it's power consumption is effectively zero at standby and only 4-5W at idle/light usage.
If you were worried about this amount of power usage you would be better off unplugging your microwave when not in use to avoid running the clock display
AFAIK if you spend at least 2 years studying here you automatically qualify for a 3 year work permit. I think rolling that into permanent residency is a lot easier than just applying for a work visa or PR out of the gate
International student tuition is way more expensive here in Canada than it is for citizens, but I'm not sure how it stacks up against normal US tuition.
Grain of salt, everything I've said is based on anecdotes from people I know who went through it
Glass will absorb and retain more heat for longer;steel will absorb energy and heat up more quickly, and dump it just as fast.
Which was my point - 400g of room temperature ceramic is going to absorb way more heat from 250ml of boiling water than would be lost from the glass-air (or even steel-air) interface during the 2 minutes it takes to do a pourover.
If both cones are preheated thoroughly, yes, the steel cone will shed heat faster, however I feel like this is also negligible compared to evaporative heat loss and subsequent transfer to a cup
It's sweet tea in the United States.
In Canada "Iced Tea" means "sweet tea" most of the time
