Absolute easy here in Europe. Got two sets, installed them on the south wall (we have no balcony), and now we get up to 700W, usually 2-3kWh per day.

That’s what conservatives do. Everywhere. Ignore the problems, hen try to do a diversion.

but what you’re saying sounds boggers.

Believe me, it isn’t. I program about anything for forty+ years now. I probably have forgotten more programming languages than you can list, and if there are constants in programming, then a) while compilers get better at catching bugs, they never got over the basics, and b) a good programmer will alyways be better at preventing and catching bugs than a compiler.

Once you have aquired a good mindset about disciplined programming, those buglets a compiler (or even code review systems) can find usually don’t happen. Be wary of those bugs that evade the seasoned programmer, though…

For the mindset, it is good to read and understand things like the MISRA standard. Stuff like that prevents bugs.

The “common bugs” that the Rust compiler prevents are those a good programmer should not make in the first place. It’s the bugs that even evade a seasoned programmer that poses the problems, and there, Rust won’t help either.

Remember ADA? A programming language frankesteined by a committee to make programming safer? The programmers using it still produce bugs. And ADA is way more whips and chains than Rust.

With such a codebase, once it is settled to a certain point, you stop adding things. You write new things, and carefully interface with the old stuff.

Imagine a bank. Their software core is usually neolithic, i.e. written in COBOL or even worse, FORTRAN. You don’t add the “online banking” or “web client” interface in the original language. You add them in something more contemporary, which interfaces to the neolithic core via files, pipes, libraries, whatever, and translate it into a frontend as needed. As long as the core works, nobody needs to touch it.

OK, I use the Keil ARM compiler, and never needed to push anything.

You don’t need that pragma to pack bitfields.

Context?

Structs with union members that allow the same place in memory to be accessed either word-wise, byte-wise, or even bit-wise are a god-sent for everyone who needs to access IO-spaces, and I’m happy my C-compiler lets me do it.

We are using Thunderbird for AGES. We basically switched over from the original “Mozilla Mail” client that we had used before, and don’t ask what we used before that…

But we always had our own email addresses since the 1990s, and our own domain since the 2000s.

If you don’t run, you have already lost the race.

A chance to take another seat from them. Heck, if he loses there, too, he might even try again!

Those stones are put there for potential customers to test how resistent the glass is.

The revolution invasion will not be televised.

Just a normal US politician. They lost all connection to reality ages ago. Take his ID papers away and let him survive on minimum wage jobs somewhere where nobody knows his sorry face.

If it works around paywalls, it could actually be a useful feature.

Why should one trust the US with food safety from the start? Have you ever noticed how much artificial gunk they have on the ingredient lists that are illegal in half of the world, sometimes even in China, of all places?

Just don’t forget to put some drugs in his suitcase. The Russians love those!

“Firm” is completely sufficient. There is no need to be “respectful” to someone who don’t respect others in the first place.

Before him, Conservative may have been leading, but now that Canadians learned what Conservatism really means, they have changed their mind.
