You don't get "classed as an energy company", you just have to pay taxes on the money you make from selling the energy. This starts at 30 kWp (up to that size, the income is tax free), which is very likely more than what you could put on a private home.

Already existed when it was first merged: https://github.com/erlang/otp/commit/fefb5d039e87ff7137e78b3...

Atomics were introduced a while before `counters`, maybe you remember a custom implementation on top of that?

Gentoo doesn't "exist" because it is necessary to have an alternative to systemd. Gentoo is simply about choice and works with both openrc and systemd. It supported other inits to some degree as well im the past.

It is a simpler web and requires a separate browser or a plugin. It's difficult to find resources on it nowadays because of Google Gemini...

Not its forum, there was an unofficial wiki that disappeared due to issues with the hoster in 2008. There is an official wiki nowadays.

The RE5 is operated by National Express. You have not been kidnapped by Deutsche Bahn.

The connection in question is probably https://bahn.expert/details/RE28521/j/20251224-a0049123-9494....

According to this page, it actually did stop at Troisdorf (though, that doesn't have to be correct). I don't see why they should have been able to stop at Neuwied but not any of the stations in between. Most of them are possibly too small, as the RE5 is quite long for a regional train, about 200m. The usual "RE" on this track, the RE8, is only about 110m max. Bonn-Beuel should have worked, though.

Static typing. Elixir already has strong typing (no implicit conversions).

I haven't. The Nix language makes no sense to me and there is still nothing akin to useflags. I don't want to override a bunch of packages just to make my system not pull in (e.g.) UI libraries.

If you have a FP3, did it never fall down, throwing its battery out? I had that happen a few times to me in the past and I always wished for a tiny bit more "grip" on the battery. I would guess that I'm not the only one.

Rust can absolutely link to Rust libraries dynamically. There is no stable ABI, so it has to be the same compiler version, but it will still be dynamically linked.

It is written in zig.

"mit" is followed by dative in German. In Latin, ablative and dative are very close and which is very close, a lot of forms are indistinguishable.

That doesn't change anything else you said, though :)

Both of them can be trivially downregulated.
