Electric semi trucks have appeared from all major European manufacturers in the last years and I expect them to become dominant even quicker than electric cars on simple cost grounds. Electricity is cheaper than diesel and due to favorable regulations in Europe, for many use cases there is little to no time lost charging and usually also no loss in load capacity.

You can find the whole integration routine here https://github.com/ad-si/Woxi/blob/36343ab2cbc97e5081f7c811e.... It's essentially a test mock-up (not even trying partial fraction decomposition for rational functions).

Fully agreed. I have never seen a programming language which is so badly designed as Wolfram. I really wish there was another way to access all of Mathematica's functionality with a more sane interface.

Did you really just attribute the deaths from a bombing raid on a dam during WW2 to a hydropower incident?

TeX is written in a literate programming style which is more akin to a math textbook than ordinary computer code, except with code blocks instead of equations. The actual programming language in the code blocks and the OS it runs on matters a lot less than in usual code where at best you get a few sparse comments. Avoiding bit rot in such a program is a very manageable task. In fact, iirc the code blocks which end up getting compiled and executed for TeX have been ported from Pascal to C at some point without introducing any new bugs.

Yeah, I'm not saying it's a good idea. But you could do it if you wanted to.

A 1 MWh battery isn't actually that big. There's electric trucks on the market right now with 600 kWh batteries sitting on the frame between the front and rear axle. That would easily fit into a basement room.

Thermodynamics is usually (and rightfully so) taught together with statistical physics for which quantum mechanics is essential, so the order does make sense.
