Back in reality though coal and gas and oil actually kill many tens of thousands of people every year in Europe alone, while nuclear is demonstrably, objectively safer (HBO scaremongering series notwithstanding). It's actually a gr

The tl;dr is that instead of representing emails as type String and manually sprinkling is_email(str) throughout your code, you represent as type Email, which has a function parse(String) -> Option<Email>. The type system then ensu

By that measure Eliza might pass the turing test too. It just shows it's far from being a though-terminating argument by itself.

The existence of a credible threat of a fine for breaking the law is enough to dissuade nearly everyone from breaking it. Nobody respects speed limits when there's one in a gazillion chance that a cop actually pulls you over. If they

The West at large continuing to be complicit in Israel's aggression and genocide is a source of great shame to me. Unlike many other atrocities of the past 75 years, this could not have been done without our help.
