Absolutely. There will need to be treaties and a method to account for the carbon cost even when something is produced abroad if we are to achieve aggregate reductions. Unfortunately things look grim when you look at the state of internatio

The growth in developing economies is factored into the models, and they're both emitting way lower than we do in the US and Canada per capita. In India's case it's silly to make a comparison.

Rust is a different language with a different audience. If a functional language is presented today that does not automatically curry calls, I have no interest. Just because the tool does not work for you does not mean there's a defect

The ML languages started appearing in the 70s. Rust is a very modern language. Where do you think rust got (more than) half of its type inspiration from? Either way no one has to use any language. Personally OCaml is not my cup of tea--Hask

Making cars is very hard--cut them some slack. This is not a great time to buy any efficient car. Things were easing until gas prices jumped up ... and the recent lockdowns in China probably haven't helped. It's a good idea to wai

Not advocating for anyone to beta test. Just pointing out the draw.

My guess is it's about trying the latest and greatest new technology. It's exciting in the same setting up new software is.

"Features" was probably the wrong word for me to use. What I was referring to is interface + customizability. The STL map allows you to: - specify the key/value types - specify the equality predicate - specify which hash func

Keep in mind that - those hash maps are optimized for large sets - they work around several edge cases - they implement way more features than an in-house implementation - they need to support many types of hardware A decent engineer can be

Easy to write, sure. But every time a developer has to look at it for the first time, they'll need to learn this hashmap's interface. Do I need to manage memory? Does it manage memory? How do I iterate? How do I add a new key spac

+1 brilliant idea! People willing to put money into your product sends a great signal about its quality/usefulness. This is a great model for generating useful OSS projects.

Ouch! 4 times in a year is crazy! Glad to hear your infection came with no severe symptoms. Being able to come in contact without worrying about being the unlucky person who gets hospitalized is something to be thankful for. The vaccines ha

Yeah it does look like their initial success has set them up for a much bigger shock with Omicron. It's so much more infectious and is actually still rather severe. Most of us here have been vaccinated and/or have some natural imm

It helps prevent infection and temper symptoms but it's not as effective as the mRNA vaccines. Something like 50% vs 90% though that could be old data.

- lower natural immunity rates because zero COVID had been successful - lower vaccination rates - vaccine drives prioritized the young and healthy (the idea being they can handle side effects so this seemed like the best way to achieve herd

It's ugly and not user-friendly but I encourage you to play with Twilio! They make everything super easy.

Hah. I did not realize that was an option. Should have been keeping track of downtime :)

Twilio is the PBX and gateway for calls + texts. I run a server that lets me receive calls wherever I am (SIP or forwarding, as required) and send messages. Like a self-hosted Google Voice but more flexible and with a greater choice of numb

Not sure about the resolution, but the sensor is rather large. Resolution isn't nearly as important as being able to see clearly in low light. Re: dirty windshield. Humans see through those, and we have windshield wipers if visibility

That was a great read. Thank you for writing it up; I learned quite a few things! Especially appreciated the OS minutiae and opinionated commentary (... and the doc vs reality observation in Linux's vfork). The piece lives up to the gr
