Prusa is good, a bit more expensive (since it is made in EU), but I wouldn't say it is "needs a loan" more expensive (of course depending on what model, they have small scale industrial offerings too). I understand Snapmaker

I'm not a biologist or in a medical field at all, but surely the fact that the heart rate goes up if you exercise means there is some form of feedback loop (which to me sounds like a rudimentary form of processing).

Regex is absolutely not suitable for most use cases that I have come across. Iostreams formatting is awful, especially if you care about internationalization (which is very common). Not sure what the issue with std::format would be here, yo

Regex issues aren't at all overblown, at least in the fields I have worked in or in fields of people I have talked to. As for async in Rust, I wrote in another comment that yes that is an issue. What we need is std to define traits tha

Rust has committed to a stable API (but the ABI is explicitly unstable). Which makes sense for a systems language. It isn't (and doesn't want to be) a kitchen sink language. But even something like Python has lots of cruft in its

Don't forget C++ where large parts of the standard library are unusable (regex is slow and unfixable) or soft deprecated (dont use iostreams for formatting, use std::format, etc). No, I prefer what rust is doing. It suits a system prog

Which is how you get the mess that is the standard library of C++. Where regex is an unusably slow joke and everyone uses third party libraries for that instead. And tons of parts of the standard library (and language) being cordoned off as

Not at all true, look at the large parts of Python's standard library that are effectively unusable or irrelevant. And they even allow some breaking changes over time (unlike Rust). This is especially true when it comes to anything rel

As a Scandinavian that sounds normal, and has been my entire life. In fact you don't need to buy gas to use the free air or water, it is just out in the open in a service cabinet or on the side of the building. (There is sometimes a si

Not sure what your question is. I dont see any contradiction with the parent comment. SSE went to version 4.2 (it gets complicated in the numbering and even naming). Only 1 and 2 were included in the base 64-bit ISA.

During the cold war, Sweden had vast stockpiles of long shelf life food (and other essential items) in case the war stopped being cold. This would have been rationed out in case of an emergency or war. As far as I know, this is no longer th

There is another option than individuals vs corporations though: The government could and should provide for it's citizens. That is what a welfare state is all about: useing the taxes it collects from its citizens for the common good.

Indeed, and any animation at all is too long for UI elements in my opinion.

No sure I agree on fast. At least on mobile the sidebar has an show/hide slide animation that takes a sizeable fraction of a second. In fact is one of the slowest animations for this I have seen. I disable animations entirely on device

Maybe it does for you, but everyone is different. It is annoying (and sad) to see both sides asserting their experiences as universal truths. I cannot stand pair programming, but I don't begrudge that it might work for some.

I think you may be overthinking it. In Sweden we already have a registry where we can opt out of telemarketing[1] (as well as ads in our physical mailboxes[2]). Generally this works well. Yes I still get a couple of "this is Microsoft
