No, 100W is without heat (I should have mentioned that) and without hot water.
I was talking explicitly about electricity only. It's clear that I depend on so much more for all the surroundings to work. But the figures I pulled out are for electricity only and our country has 26% of its…
True! Our heating is to a large part based on fossil sources, but we started to move towards more renewable sources, like wood briquettes - which would be CO2-neutral. Indeed we could switch at least 50% of our heating…
Here residential energy accounts for 26% of the overall energy consumption - but even if we only adjust in this field, we can already make a difference.
Yes sure. For example, I cannot even give you exact numbers of the footprint of the food we eat or the electronics we use. That would probably a good number to put on a lot of things, in terms of allowing people to make…
One part is generation, the other is consumption. I did the math. I live in a European Country that wants to get rid of Russian Gas, and right quick. If every household would use the same amount of energy that we use…
At this point in time (2022) I consider everything below say 40TB not big (textual) data at all. It can be compressed 40TB -> 10TB (or less) and that fits fine on a single 16T drive. For many questions, you won't need…
Exactly. Basically most big data lives in hdfs and hdfs is part of hadoop. Even if you use Spark and Flink I would classify that as using Hadoop (under the hood). > However, a very common setup is to use Flink to…
This. While I believe the part about chaos and surprise and fake reports it also makes it seem that Russia is weak - which is probably dangerous to assume (of any undefeated opponent). However, one positive note to get…
I switched from a normal school to a gifted school at age 12. The biggest plus was that when all your peers have measured iq 130 or more, you do not have to feel ashamed to be "just curious" - which I believe most kids…
My predication, for the record: Putin is mad, old, and he certainly would not care to die these days looking outside the window into a sea of mushroom clouds. I'm virtually certain that he had at least one dream about…
Every company that hires three junior developers today will need one senior developer in a year or two. It's great to be a developer today, even better, if you are a senior dev.
I did the back-of-the-envelope math once. You get a Petabyte of storage today for $60K/year if you buy the hardware (retail disks, server, energy). It actually fits into the corner of a room. What do you get for $60K in…
Rip, Lorinda. I'm using bc almost daily.
Just for a moment imagine a world without any ads. I for one do not have to imagine that, but just have to remember back, when I grew up in the eastern block. What you wanted to buy was available in the stores and you…
Just say you reject, no need to explain - I believe this is the way of the least drama.
My advice would be to target a situation where clients search for you, rather the other way around (everything else I find unsustainable). For that you need to put your work out, like breadcrumbs - so the interested…
You are now looking back at a significant part of your life and that is changing your perspective. Not only are you not going to be younger in the future, but you may not enjoy the agility that you had, good looks, and…
The clowns you are referring to are people with brains that look at more than just leetcode problems.
I can attest that exposure to quite dysfunctional environments have hardened my technical skills to a level which currently opens one opportunity after another. What other people shy away from, I eat for breakfast and…
We live at the dawn of cyberterrorism, I'm glad we are stepping out of nuclear now.
Exactly, we do not need it. If it weren't for job negotiations I'd be making all my contributions on the net masked.
Not OP but I would have an issue with that. I do not want to "copy" what is already there, because many things out there are just not good. Someone making a million basically doing nothing is bad, if most people have to…
For programming, I still rely on google as my navigational engine, although a search engine that indexed a couple dozen sizes would probably suffice for me.
It's a matter of motivation. I had project flushing in speed, with correct, tested code, happy clients and I also had other assignments, where a feature that that should take a week took a year. That's insane about our…
