Comment Re:Even cars have heat pumps (Score 1) 203

Our nissan leaf '16 has heat pump and it's the fastest-heating car we've ever owned. The interior is warm much faster than with an direct-mains additional heater (800-1600W, car models) or my volvo with a gas-fueled eber heater (though that one is not direct internal air but for the engine). This is in temperatures of 5c to -10C. Unfortunately the battery on the leaf is only 30kWh so the range drops off steeply below -10c, though still enough for the town rides.

> corporations should be able to manage their employees as they see fit

Say what? Where that comes from? They're vastly overpowered with what comes to almost any single person. It doesn't make sense that they should be able to do absolutely anything "as they see fit". This doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

This is retarded. How much US rich end up paying for special living arrangements because they can't live along with people that don't have anything to lose? How much do you pay for private schools because you can't go into same one that general public goes to? How much property value inflates because you *need* to keep certain population out of it? This goes on and on and on. You don't get to live with all that money that you get, you lose it on all the shit that keeps you separated from people that don't have it. Why?

I'm pretty sure that locking problem is from some older release of VS that you might still have installed. I certainly had it for a period of time (at least enough to warrant installing UnLocker), but it did go away. I do C# for a living so a lot of reruns etc.

I recommend you install UnLocker, take a note of which program is actually locking that file (if it gives the actual PID). Then in Task Manager -> Details select the "Image path name" column to be shown and seek if that's some older msbuild version that you can uninstall / otherwise remove. Alternative is to reinstall windows + only latest versions of stuff, but that's a bit of a kill. VS repair install in newer ones is also relatively good; however I've killed my machine with a VS2017 install/reinstall cycle..

Overall I've seen VS become better and better over the time. I guess VS Code is coming fast behind, but they're in the 80 portion of the 80/20 still.

40ms is ~standard human reaction time (f.ex how fast professional photographer can press the shutter when situation hits).

If you do 180 in 1 sec with 3.6deg granularity (50fps), you see every snapshot for 20ms. I can attest that with 144Hz screen doing 180'ies looks much smoother than on 60Hz.
