True, but Lua probably will :)

Yes, I think rust made a big mistake for not going for a stable (or at least mostly stable like C++) ABI (other than the C one). The "staticly link everything" is fine for desktops and servers, but not for e.g. embedded Linux appl

Right, but once you have C it's fairly straightforward to use an interpreted language implemented in C (python, perl, guile, lua, whatever). Obviously such a compiler would likely be unusably slow, but that's not important here.

Yes, this is why San Francisco, Boston and NYC have the cheapest rents in the US.

Basically I work on experiments (balloons and in-ice) that are attempting to detect ultra high energy neutrinos interacting in ice sheets via radio.

I've flown to/from McMurdo on a total of 4 types of planes... C-17, C130 (kiwi AF), L-100 (Safari, contracted by Italian antarctic program) and LC-130 (to/from pole).

Sure, some cell networks suck. That's not an immutable law of nature though. There is plenty of bandwidth available for terrestrial cellular networks. And backhauls can be point to point microwave rather than fiber.

Really it just probably makes sense to upgrade cellular networks with enough backhaul bandwidth. (And deploy cell towers to cover people who are currently not covered yet, though I imagine that's a fairly small fraction of people at th

that's a feature. You can conveniently do pip install nukemydrive #no, this package doesn't exist (yet) rather than than the harder to remember rm -rf --no-preserve-root /

Well it's an ecosystem that is meant to be easy to use by people who don't know what they're doing.

I use the term "natural foot." It's very useful in simulations.

Only 450 million SSNs have been assigned (and only 1 billion are theoretically possible...)

Oh man, the passion with which I hated realplayer when I was in high school. Eclipsed only by QuickTime.

A Majorana error is where the problem and solution are the same. Like caffeine.

I was on microphone duty as a grad student at a conference that had a crackpot who sat in the front row and asked questions about quark stars no matter the topic of the talk. Unfortunately the chairpeople of the plenaries kept calling on th

Tax rates are easily discoverable (more so than currently hidden things like tariffs).
