  • Quite a few unexpected results here…

    1. I’m surprised the C binary is not the smallest, and it’s outdone by Pascal, of all languages.
    2. The speed/energy difference between Java and C# (almost a factor of 2 in favor of Java).
    3. The relatively good performance of JavaScript compared to other loosely typed multi-paradigm scripting languages.
    4. The difference between C# and F#. That’s actually a good reason to question the accuracy of these tests and results.



  • Huh, so basically, if somebody gives you an Iron Dome installation, and then I start shooting rockets at you, you are going to shrug it off? You are a hypocrite, debating about stuff you clearly know very little about (from reading biased news sources, no doubt).

    Hamas infiltrated Israeli territory and started shooting down unarmed civilians. You can be as peace-loving as you want (I, too, think Israel could’ve done more to progress peace with Palestinians), but to sum it up as (Hammas isn’t blameless, but Israel is responsible because it has more firepower is idiotic at best.

    What’s happening right now is murder of innocent people, clear as day. If you want to seek excuses for the perpetrators, something is really wrong with you.



  • Exactly. The issue is with the source of electricity, not with the AC itself. Not to mention that leading by example is nice, but it’s not always the best course of action. An individual avoiding AC is a drop in the water, and not going to save the planet, while suffering immensely. Hell, even if every single individual stopped using AC at home (which isn’t even close to reality), that wouldn’t have a significant effect, compared to what corporations, factories, etc. are doing.
