Why in the title (not reflected in HN title) is it "Elon Musk's SpaceX" rather than just "SpaceX"? I could imagine the distinction being relevant if he had just taken the helm and this was the company taking some ne

Since Windows ships a stable ABI, why does this project need to generate the bindings at build time? Couldn't all of the bindings be pre-generated, eliminating the build-dependencies?

If you push out the whole distribution of child births, some of those would-be child births will not happen. Female fertility falls rapidly after 35[1]. It's not something you can simply delay across the population and expect to get th
