The Netherlands are the second largest exporter of agricultural products in the world. They can severely reduce farming without endangering domestic food supplies. Of course these products that are consumed would have to be produced somewhe

Are you seriously suggesting that banning TikTok will significantly reduce school shootings?

Not GP, but I would remove the special linq syntax, but keep the Enumerable extension methods.

100+ countries can also show you that copyright infringement is not the same as theft in the eyes of the law.

I'll bite: what do you consider healthy goals, and why isn't happiness amongst them? Not sure if you were going to go there, but lets skip the 'on a permanent heroine IV' interpretation of happiness.

Why would a hypothetical attacker wander through the garden anyway, instead of walking the normal path to the front door like a normal person? That face recognition will surely blow up the first pizza delivery person that has the misfortune

A shame if a child that accidentally threw a ball in your garden steps on them, or even just the overweight neighbours cat. Or a visitor stumbles on them duling a bbq. But such casualties are apparently a small price to pay for feeling safe

That seems unlikely, I would expect most African countries to beat the US easily.

Back in the day (must be 15 years ago?) at lan parties we would share steam game files locally if someone already had it installed. If the files were present locally in the correct forder, the client would be smart enough to skip to verifyi

Sounds like something that XSLT could have solved. When in doubt use more XML.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes. Presumably that is why proposed mechanism requires the user to explicitly opt-in, just like with `"use strict";`.

Is hosting in kubernetes really more time consuming than one of the proprietary PaaS cloud hosting options? What better alternative would you propose?
284.
by Thiez 4y ago
I strongly agree. Having Docker images of your application is very convenient gor deployment and fairly easy to set up for anyone who has done so before. Then once you have these images anyway, hosting in (managed) k8s in the cloud is a bre

If everybody used deceptive but ultimately truthful statements all the time society wouldn't function either. Allowing for deliberately deceptive truths is just a ridiculous contortion to solve the "murderer at the door" or &

With the (sad?) consequence that many Dutch people never pick up another book by a Dutch author again. If there is one thing that school taught me about Dutch literature is that I want it to die, and I will only read books by foreign author

Presumably for a "false accusation" conviction one would have to prove that (1) the accusations are false, and (2) the accuser was aware that the accusations were false. Merely failing to prove accusations (such as when there is i

Here is a nice article that goes into detail: https://fasterthanli.me/articles/why-is-my-rust-build-so-slo... Here is an older article that compares compilation times between multiple different libraries, where one of

Apart from rare pathological cases borrow checking is not a significant part of compilation time. Disabling it would be very detrimental for little gain.

by Thiez 4y ago
For the vast majority of programs most time is spent in code generation/optimization. Rusts static analysis is not why compilation is slow.

If you enforce correct formatting before commits or in your CI builds that is no longer a problem.

Some of those elements they discovered (e.g. chlorine, silicon) hardly require geographic luck to discover, just a beach. Could it be that Sweden just had some enterprising chemists at the right time, rather than just hand-waving their disc

Except that COBOL devs are not that paid that well. If they are worth their weight in gold the average COBOL developer must be pretty skinny. By all means specialize in a legacy language if that is what you enjoy, but you are setting yourse

By definition you must murder to be a serial killer, so in that regard they are incomparable to pedophiles, who only require an attraction without acting on it. Interestingly a significant part of sexual abuse of children appears to be comm

"Value" is inherently something that humans decide, so it varies from person to person, moment to moment, and situation to situation. To me the idea that there exists a single globally correct value for biscuits is absurd.
