Discriminated unions is probably the last "must have" feature I've been waiting for in C#. Better pattern matching would be nice to have but honestly not as much of a gamechanger.

Right but what do you do with the parsed object? An array of random objects is used for what, exactly?

And if you got that JSON back in Python, how would you do anything with it? This API is essentially useless. You can deserisalise it, sure, but then what?

More than the drone for sure, and you'd run out of old heli engines pretty fast.

Right, the system is self correcting but even so it can take literally decades sometimes for the corrections to happen, and in the meantime someone may have tried to build a career on what turned out to be a lie. There really needs to be a

What if I want to go climb a mountain? Or go skiing? What if my family can't afford to move, or have good reasons not to move to the ideal city? There are plenty of reasons you might want to leave somewhere even if it is quite literall

A walkable city and a coop are not the same thing, but anyway here are some more justifications. Even if you discount CO2, cars still produce a lot of plastic waste in the form of tyre wear, estimated as about 9% of that currently produced

I guess the question is do we think twice as many tornadoes a year and billions of dollars in coastal property lost is a fair trade off for a small percentage of people getting to live in the sticks. Seems easy if you're not the one pa

Let's actually approach this from good faith, shall we? The point is to try to remove car travel as much as is possible, even if that isn't 100%. You can build a city where everything you need on a day to day basis is within walk

Sorry but this take is just ridiculous. A city is not "ideal" if you never want to leave? What about visiting friends, or traveling, or seeing family?

by Turskarama 2y ago
That's not really realistic though, you shouldn't need to use "mechanical movement" _every day_ but that's a far cry from never needing it at all. At the very least if you ever want to go somewhere else you're

Exceptions can always be made, this seems disingenuous.

So there are two solutions to the noise problem, better sound isolation or putting dwellings further apart. Why have you decided that one solution is an obvious winner over the other? I really think you need to inspect your own assumption

What's exhausting is your analogy, drunk driving does in fact cause more problems than it solves. Make a reasonable point yourself first before saying I don't have one.

They might not be strictly necessary but they tend to solve more issues than they cause. Many languages which don't come with a centralized repository built in will tend to spontaneously gain one because they are in fact useful.

This is so common I think it could just about be a lemma: Any tool that that helps you to get up and running quicker by abstracting away boilerplate will eventually get in the way as your projects complexity increases.

Until there is an interface for it that allows you to effectively touch type (or equivalent) then 99% of jobs won't be able to use it away from a desk anyway. Speech to text would be good enough for writing (non technical) documentati

There is supposedly neanderthal DNA in some modern humans, implying that offspring were viable. Breeding resulting in viable offspring is one of the only consistent definitions of what a species even is.

OP did also say "They wouldn't even have to be specified", which is the big difference here needed for a type checker to actually use them over comments.

by Turskarama 2y ago
A type system that doesn't do anything? It has that, it's called comments. Before you try to tell me that it's somehow different, consider that the main thing a type system has to be for consistency is accurate. If they type

Valve is offering full refunds, in practice very few people would bother going through any legal mess when they can just get their money back.

by Turskarama 2y ago
Valve is already fully covered, they will honor refunds to the game and any loss they make will be taken out of future sales. Of course it's possible that future sales won't make up for the loss in this case, but Valve is still v

If they wanted it to be a PlayStation exclusive they never would have launched it on PC to begin with.

PSN is still free but it only gives you access to the store and an account to keep user data, PS plus is an add on to it that costs money and is required for multiplayer. EDIT: I feel like I should point out that PC players don't need

Chinas situation is so incredibly far away from what the Soviet Union was. For one thing they aren't spending the majority of their GDP on a cold war.

It's effective but it's too big to be deployed on every vehicle all the time and requires some finesse to use.

Too early to know for sure but I'm going to say it's very unlikely, the relationship between diet and body composition is rarely so straight forward.

The point being made is that talking about the use of cobalt in batteries is actually beside the point. Unless we do something about child labor _in general_ then reducing cobalt use will just see those children being exploited in some oth

Sure, but one of the big upsides of vr is the ability to move around a space. If you're just sitting at a desk (or on a couch) anyway then you might as well just have a couple of huge monitors. In the case of the vision pro it would
