No, not at all. Just that I've heard maybe 10 people over the years mention ways to harness power grid fluctuations and they all had watched the tom Scott video.

Give it a chance! Rust hasn't even had its bar mitzvah yet and C++ is already buying a Porsche during its midlife crisis. Yes, on paper zig has more features than C, but what zig has is explicitness. C has a big murky space of implicit

Rust is for devs who think "if only c++ had a few more features, it would be perfect". Zig is for devs who think "if only C had fewer features, it would be perfect"

You should check the math on a real calculator. Despite what most JavaScript implementations will tell you, 2 to the 55th power is 36028797018963968, and adding one to that value is 36028797018963969. That's clearly odd. There is no ex

Sorry, it's supposed to be power. So 2**55 in JavaScript 2 to the 55th power is obviously even, so that +1 is obviously odd, but ((2*55) +1) % 2 == 0 in JavaScript.

You want to implement your own is-odd in your code - simple, right? isOdd = (x) => x % 2 == 1 Ut oh, your code is broken for negative numbers now since % isn't a true modulo operator... Fine then, isOdd = (x) => x % 2 != 0 Ut oh,

If the leaders want to slow down, but the companies aren't, then it isn't those 50-100 people demonstrating no agency - it's just the opposite. Or, the leaders words are empty.

The question was asked whether creatine increases muscle nuclei or just water volume, and I provided a study (well, a meta-study which is referring to a specific study) which showed that creatine supplementation increased the muscle nuclei

How is AI going to destroy civilization? If AI is going to do that, AI needs to at least get good enough to autonomously produce all the chips and energy it needs to execute. That seems like a pretty far way off, considering we don't e
