  • || is the logical OR in most languages I know of, but I’m pretty sure python only has the or keyword, no shorthand.

    Bitwise OR applies the logic to the individual bits in the underlying data. Think about how you would add two large numbers by hand. Write one number above the other and add at each position. Bitwise or is like that, except you OR the two bits in each position instead of adding them.

    In your example (you can do an OR with n inputs, the result is 1 if any input is 1):

    11001 25
    01010 10
    00101 5
    ----- OR
    11111 31

    So your code is actually being interpreted as if coin == 31:





  • I agree with what you’re saying, but developing the technology right now is quite counterproductive. The stopping of carbon emissions needs to happen first, and it needs to happen quickly. Every bit of energy spent on carbon capture projects would be better spent implementing renewable processes.

    Furthermore, the technology currently functions as an accountability sink for heavy polluters. It allows them to hand-waive away the entire problem of emissions since there is this “panacea” just around the corner, thus slowing down actual meaningful climate action.

    Carbon capture needs to be discredited as a solution until its purpose stops being the continuation of the status quo.










  • operating temperatures down to -15C

    I would personally triple check to make sure this means what you think it means.

    Assuming it does, you should be in the clear. Cutting the power when it gets colder is probably not necessary since the freezer won’t have any reason to run, but it might be a worthwhile precaution anyway. If for some reason the compressor does try to run with frozen oil, it might damage itself or try to draw too much power and blow a breaker (or start a fire if your wiring is sketchy). Better to be on the safe side.
