Templates are just auto-generated overloads so zero or negative overhead depending on the alternative C solution. The one advantage the C _standard_ has over the C++ _standard_ is 'restrict' but '__restrict__' is supported by all major compilers so it's a moot point.

Do the rules affect foreign investment companies hoovering up housing stock?

The biggest USP for heat pumps I've seen is this upcoming system that adds air conditioning to them: fancoil.co.uk/

We can buy a 98% efficient combi boiler for as low as £900, fitted for not much more by a local tradesman. Amortise the diff. in upfront costs across the lifetime, take into account reduced efficiency of air source heat pumps in winter; gas wins for now. futureheatltd.co.uk/boiler-g…

Nice, I wish you every success in the world with this, it definitely ticks some boxes!

The rooms that the fans in the loft are connected to via the ducting. Since heat pumps can operate for heating and cooling it seems that the fans could provide hot air in cool times and cool air in hot times?

Great idea, this adds a significant USP to the heat pump vs gas boiler equation. Could this eliminate radiators for connected rooms too?

Crusty bread and butter doesn't need anything else. It has to be salted butter. But try Cathedral City mature cheddar on it with Branson's pickle. Ideally with a cup of tea.

No, it would mean with automated interpretation of the imaging that every abnormality is monitored since time and cost are no longer constraints. Assuming varying freq etc can't garner more info in the first place. Full body weekly scans at the gym for an add-on subscription!

Duties paid by the HGV industry alone cover 95% of the cost of road maintenance. Simple fix: spend the enormous sums of additional taxes paid by all motorists on road maintenance first, then splurge the rest.

Checklists save lives. Cooperative checklists: one person asks and another responds.

Shit happens man.

Lower house prices are better for our descendents. Calculate how much would have to be bequeathed to each child (post-IHT) for doubling of house prices to be a net positive for them.

It's more excuse-based than risk-based these days. Stay with the same insurer and 'risk' goes up every year. Move to another provider and 'risk' gets slashed. Return to original insurer and 'risk' is still magically lower.

Cycle _lanes_ are lanes on said highways, not separate entities. HGVs aren't disallowed from driving on motorways because they can't use the fast lane.

My pseudo-zen detector overloaded with that one too.

Depends on the source of the credit. With a bank it's new money via credit creation, which leverages (slack) reserve requirements. It's why credit increases overall money supply.

We are a few years early, but data centres could contract Rolls-Royce to install SMRs for 470MWh of power generation on site.

Mostly, but the type system can still be used to simplify and eliminate bugs at the call site. This could be expanded to handle all relevant types, but here's an example to simplify the call site with your use case of PoDs and const char*s:
