Energy use? That's a pointless metric. If that is the goal then whole idea of desktop should be scraped. Waste of memory and hard drive space. Just imagine the amount of energy wasted on booting GUI.

Which is exactly what I said. Most of the times you can work around it. Sure cache invalidation can be hard, but doesn't have to be. If you need performance use more performant language. Right tool for the job.

No he's actually right. there's a limit to density your eyes can see and it's directly proportional to the distance you sit from TV.

Faster, sure. Efficient, fuck no. With Java you have to run around and write ton of boiler plate code to do something simplest in nature.

That's because it's not relevant. Speed can be compensated for either by caching or outsourcing your load, if there's such a huge need to process large amount of data quickly. In day to day work I can't say I have ever ran into issues because code was executing slow. Normal operation Python is more than capable of keeping up.

On the other side of the coin you have memory management, buff and stack overflows and general issues almost exclusive to C, which is something you don't have to worry about as much with higher level languages. Development with Python is simply faster and safer. We as developers have different tools, and we should use them for their appropriate purpose. You can drive nails with a rock as well, but you generally don't see carpenters doing this all day.

Haha. If those two were the only things offered in vending machines in japan, then yes. But they don't.

No, these work exclusively on children. Report says nothing about adults or intended target.

Totally for same reasons.

I also love the amount vending machines Japan has. I'd love to have machine for tea or late night ramen around every corner.

For different reasons though. In japan it's for small restaurants which don't employ many people or don't have a lot of space or both. For McDonald's it's for pinching a dollar more for their empire.

I have a small 6U rack in my hallway which is where all the server stuff sits. There are 1U UPS units, but I haven't had the need for it yet. However after replacing motherboard on this current machine I forgot to turn on option for auto start after power failure. My servers are mostly for collecting data regarding temperature, humidity and other metrics around the house, glass house and other parts. Same machine also collects surveillance data from cameras around the property which detect human and animal shapes.

So since machine rarely does long term calculations or data processing it's okay that it doesn't have UPS, since no data would be coming anyway without power.

Of course, although I don't doubt it's much safer now than before the war. But I can tell you for sure none of the photos do it justice. View from the fortress itself is hardly believable by eyes, let alone photo. It's so so wast and barren with bright turquoise dead sea gleaming from bellow.
