For a long time I did the same because some websites would refuse to load when they thought you weren't running Chrome even though it would have worked just fine in FF.

If the software is not economical to write then it can't be all that important to the business, right? And if wages are really the problem then wouldn't we expect a lot of such software to pop up outside of silicon valley, where w

But the opposite is the case. The sun will get hotter for the foreseeable future until the earth will also become uninhabitable. And then the sun will expand and swallow Venus and probably also our planet. So if we base the choice only on t

In the Netherlands SSNs are not unique, they handed out some duplicate ones back in the day. So not great as a primary key. Besides, I think using them as primary keys is illegal anyway.

You can go further with some simple rewriting rules. For instance, if (condition) { variable = true; } can be rewritten as variable |= condition; So if we're streamlining the sexism we end up with a more pleasing

I think people should get vaccinated, but 'think of the children' is not a strong argument since they seem to be at very low risk of becoming seriously ill or death compared to every other age category.

Hey Steve :-) I've been following and using Rust since early 2013 (so starting around the same time you did, when I compare our contributions to the compiler) and back then I definitely did not find the lexical lifetimes hard to unders

The pre-NLL version would need some additional scopes. In some ways the current borrow-checker is a lot friendlier (there are also some things possible today that weren't before) but it was also a simpler time, where one could easily i

In Rust the `mut` does not apply to the `let`, but to the variable binding. So you can do this: let (x, mut y) = (5, 10); After this statement `x` will not be mutable, but `y` will be. You cannot do let mut (x, y) = (5, 10)

I doubt a rising wave of baby boomer deaths is going to have a significant change on those statistics, but if your objection is correct, the death rate should continue to rise, so in a couple of years we can look back and see if you were ri

Earth bacteria require liquid water (amongst other things). Thus far none of the rovers have landed in a lake, so it's unlikely that earth bacteria will be spreading any time soon.

Those living in the rich nations can hardly blame the people in emerging economies for trying to achieve a similar standard of living (well, not without being huge hypocrites). And yes, large countries like China will have a large impact. B

Are you also outraged by the existence of clang, as it has a permissive license and competes with GCC? From where I'm standing it looks like you are the one introducing the stupid license politics. The Rust Coreutils developers have

It seems like "worse is better" only applies selectively when C has the advantage. For instance, Rust has no formal spec, but surely that is fine according to the "worse is better" philosophy, because the current situati
