I would have complied if he said D lang. Tried Rust, did not like it that much, compared to D.

The thing I dislike about Wayland is: Sometimes the server will crash. Video drivers or something. Hasn't happened much with 22.04, but used to happen more frequently before. Both with Intel and AMD. When this happens in X11, the serv

The enclosure doesn't melt. The resistance splits, and no longer provides a path for electricity to flow, so it stops heating. No wires are exposed. It's similar to an old electric bulb failure.

I used them for over 20 years in South America. I even burned them many times, to the dismay of my dad. I burned them because I wanted hotter water, and closed the water line as much as I can, the resistance heated up to red and then melted

Yes and no. Because of the pandemic, and now the invasion, we have realized the world has too many unnecessary imports which could be produced locally. They were cheaper because all this contamination is called "externalities", wh

And every four years it will double in price, and right now it consumes 0.5% of all electricity, which means in 56 years it will consume 82% of all electricity, assuming we produce roughly the same electricity as today. Is this your argumen

To the gamers, yes. As these cryptocurrencies have provided utility to the miners in the past. My point is, everyone is arguing here thinking only about their own particular self-interest, while pretending to be arguing about some abstract

That sounds like fearmongering to me. And also condescending fearmongering, as you assume I need 'hints'. Going back to your argument about all other categories of energy usage, transport using ICE should be feared more, in partic

No one will ever say anything bad about game consoles, which consume much more electricity than cryptocurrencies =)

And a million gamers are still waiting for reasonable GPU prices. Nvidia really milked that cash cow.

Come on, that argument was valid for about two or three months. Nowadays, the outcomes from the several distinct vaccines have given us ten times, a hundred times more data than needed for such decisions. On average, people like you simply

That building doesn't look appealing, I agree, but I was in Brasília a year ago, and it is a wonderfully designed city, far better than many. You can walk to many places, apartment buildings don't block your path, there are plenty

My Xiaomi Red Mi Pro has a headphone jack. It is one of the reasons I got it.

Human minds will go crazy when deprived of external stimulus. This is both their greatest limitation and their greatest advantage. For this, I will refer back to Turing original essay about M-Machines. These are the universally known Turing

It's superfast on both Edge and Firefox for me. 0.5 MB e-book (one of the Culture novels).

My perception of ads is they are more automated and naive than they should be. I get an ad for something I want. I get it. Then I don't need it anymore, but I get the same ad over and over again as if it went from a single thing I want

100 dpi right now. Hopefully 300 dpi in a few years. I also want this tech to improve, and for the same reasons.

A complete disregard for languages, and talking about a Tolkien adaptation! Preposterous! Tolkien was so into languages he edited the Oxford dictionary. And besides, this feels like English chauvinism.

Wasn't the price of these implementations one of the factors for the (symbolic) AI winter? I would say it's just karma.

The average person now has a laptop without an HDMI port, without a dedicated GPU, without Ethernet. It only has one or two USB-C ports. A USB cable replaces the HDMI connection. That by itself requires more than USB 2.0 speeds. HDMI is 3.2

A few years ago, I was rejected from some fancy startup because I use SQL in a daily basis. It was seen as 'unsexy'.

This is very misleading. Every single place* you can write raw SQL, you can do it with a prepared statement, and then you don't have injection and the other nasty stuff. *At least for all the big players I have used.

You can get a Kobo instead, it has native Pocket integration.

I agree with the others. Go is its own abstraction level. Not powerful enough to be compared to Java. Probably closer to Node.js, that's to say, it is like JavaScript in the server. Judging by the developers who use it. Except it is co

These huge, powerful routers are exactly what you don't want your neighbours to have in an apartment building. =)
