Packed gravel is not "offroad", it's just a normal, flat road. Snow makes no difference either, obviously. You'd need to have quite a lot of snowfall to make travel in a regular car hard to impossible.

That's not past the suburbs , that's a ridiculous outlier. Congratulations, you live somewhere without paved roads, which puts you at what, 0.00001% of all Americans? That's your argument?

Those are good examples, I've hauled most of that on a trailer attached to a cheap family sedan. With the upside of the trailer receiving the brunt of the abuse, having probably 4x the capacity of your truck and the car being super con

And sure, for the exact target demographic of carpenters and such that's... false . What you do is get a regular car that's great for everyday stuff and buy a trailer. You get a flatbed that's what, 4x the size of the one on

Safety is a continuum. It's a simple fact. Feel free to use a term other than memory safety to describe what you're talking about, but so long as you use safety , there's going to be a continuum. Also, by your definition

And since any language can call those C/C++ libraries, all languages are equally good at cryptography! Thanks for the "insight".

> Now those prices for intermittent wind exclude the cost of providing backup power with gas Yes, let's just handwave those concerns away, it's not like the grid needs power 100% of the time or anything. Two weeks without wind?

Well yeah — cars are expensive.

Tokyo has a population of some 14 million. Dallas is about 1.3 million. Did you pick cities with populations exactly 10x apart on purpose or something? Got any real stats?

If speed is your only concern, why not hire a helicopter? Oh, because cost is also a concern so we can't just look at what's "faster"? Rats.

Right, it's not the geopolitical situation, but cars. Natural resources + every potentially powerful hostile country is across entire oceans = success.

What is this horseshit . What exactly does specifically engine efficiency have to do with horse usage? Cars like the Ford Model T entered mass production somewhere around 1908. Oh, and would you look at the horse usage graph around that da

There's a huge difference indeed — uBlock + SponsorBlock are superior. Not only do I not see any ads at all—including self-promotions of the video creators and their sponsorship segments—I also get to skip content-free intermissions, t

So you just manually skip the sponsor segments that most popular creators include in their videos or what?

You could have done that in Rust but you wouldn't, because the allure of just typing a single character of ? is too strong. The UX is terrible — the path of least resistance is that of laziness. You should be forced to provide

Whatever context you deem appropriate at the time of writing that message. Don't overfocus on the example. It could be the request ID, the customer's name — anything that's relevant to that particular call.

And also nothing about that code tells you it can throw such an exception. How exciting! Just what I want the reason for getting woken up at 3am due to prod outage to be.

Now all you have to do is get a Go programmer to write code like this: if somethingElse { err := baz() log.Println(err) } Good luck! As for your first example, // if only err2 failed, returns n

I'm not impressed by the careless tossing around of the word "easily" in this thread. It's quite ridiculous that you're claiming errors can be easily left unhandled while referring to what, a single unfortunate patt

> If there is ample memory available, why waste energy on that? Cute argument, but there's no way for a program to know how much memory is available. And there is such a thing as "appropriate amount of memory for this task&quot

Ok, but as you've sort of implied yourself, the CoC of every project is essentially the same. Which means there's no reason for 99% of projects to have a distinct CoC.

Am I to understand that all killers are leftist? It's either that, or you looked at the list of all killers and cherry-picked the leftist ones to make an argument.

I don't know what you mean. The only way you could ever end up with a cheaper fare with a taxi is the sort of edge case you've hit - a single trip that happened to end up cheaper. And that must be an edge case, since even single t
