Americans generalizing the whole of Europe again. In Germany, a large coffee is certainly not the American size, but it's also not the small Italian size.

Honestly, also the latter. If you are using hundreds of thousands of cores for over 100h, every single second counts.

Actually,

There's no fire in the sun. Fire is some material oxidizing, and that's not what's happening (or at least not in relevant amounts). What creates the radiation is nuclear fusion.

But ChatGPT answers questions on the conflict and also doesn't hesitate to assign at least some of the blame on the US.

Actually a good point, tho. And also a good thought: If there is no special direction, what would be up? And that's where quantum mechanics gets even weirder: It's either up or down in the direction you measure.

Gravity isn't a force tho...

Obviously, the apartment with the Confederate flag has a swastika inside.

I think the main advantages over C are:

  • better tooling
  • modern syntax
  • by default, pointers must be non-null. You have to specify if you want to use null pointers
  • better exception handling using the functional style of exceptions-as-values

There are probably more, but those are the ones I remember.

You don't use exponentially more fuel, but cubically. Exponentially is not just a word for "quickly", but a function.
And anyways, that isn't only the case for speeds higher than 80, but for every higher speed. So it's not like there is an objective sweet spot.

And it definitely looks it. That is, shitty.
