I was not referring to the efficiency of a specific appliance. I didn't mention an oven in my comment. Three phase distribution is more efficient and mechanical appliances designed for three phase can take advantage of that.

I agree, most appliances in the US run on 240 volts, but this is separate from 3 phase. Most households only wire up single phase electrics. Both can support 120v or 240v appliances, but appliances designed for 3 phase are more efficient in their energy use and less prone to overload your breaker.

Interesting, this might be why soy is pressed for its oil before being used as cattle feed. The resulting patties are used as feed and the oil byproduct is sold.

As one (slightly abnormal) example that I've worked on. We would build the meat of the solution, then run our tests. Upon success, we'd generate language bindings (think swig), compile them and run API tests against those. The languages included C++, C#, Java and Excel 12 bindings (which required their own .cpp files). I can easily see this type of special case worm its way in to larger projects and be valid, yes.

Yeah, but it's so satisfying to see what you've produced.

Hmm, I suppose I was talking about the specific work to integrate modules in to the C++ standard. I recall hearing from Bjarne at a STAC talk he gave a year (or so) ago that he and Herb had been coordinating effort between MS and MSFT to use Modules in the Microsoft toolset to improve compiler performance.

The history of modules you provided is helpful though, thanks.

Weren't modules created by Herb Sutter at Microsoft to improve the VS201x IDe and compiler? If this is the case, it seems a big player in the tooling world is already on board.

From what I've seen of the 1930s/40s tax photos, they're much better quality as far as framing. Not sure if this is the case across the board, but the copies I looked up were pretty consistently better. But you have to either go in to the municipal building to look at them or order them online.

I think the crux of your argument is that you don't feel the employees in the publishing industry should be paid for their time and experience. In your article, you described being very upset when getting critical feedback from them about your manuscript. Even though it was coming from a very experienced source. It sounds like you just didn't want to work with experts on the project. But in the comment above, you went further and said 10 Speed took "virtually no risk" beyond their time. You realize that people get paid, I'm sure. Owning a restaurant, I'm sure you're aware the overhead is more than just the raw materials of the food. And that if you give the same raw materials to a random chef at a random location, you will have varying degrees of success.

It sounds like you're going in completely ignorant to an industry and, because you're very talented in another area, take a simplistic approach and assume anyone benefiting from your (most likely) amazing documentation of your culinary skills is taking money from the only one producing something here. I know it's not your intention, and I think it's more and more common these days.

His internet was cut, but they have landlines. Is it really Ecuador's obligation to provide him uninterrupted internet access? What else are they obligated to provide? They're giving him a place to hang his hat for free. We have no idea what kind of house guest this guy is. If WikiLeaks requires Assange to have internet access to function, it speaks poorly of how organized they are.

Yeah, one of these landed in Omaha, NE damaging a clock in Dundee neighborhood. Not terribly deadly, but it made press.
