Its not the same. The compiler can protect against code which is incorrect. The compiler cannot do anything to help with code that is correct but does the wrong thing.

C has no problem dealing with a uint32_t. Not sure what you are getting at. This is more of an issue with languages like java that abstract away integer widths and signs, which is convenient if you're only doing arithmetic but becomes

I think the issue is that, when written, a `long` was 32 bits. I would guess the author was familiar with the concept of a carry bit, but they didn't care because the carry bit was discarded by their architecture.

It looks like the ELF standard itself says the hash table uses 32 bit values: > A hash table of Elf32_Word objects supports symbol table access. https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/elf/gabi4+/ch5.dynamic....

Yeah I totally agree. Heat pump with a wood stove / furnace as a second heat source is the way to go. It's not unheard of to go multiple days without electricity after a bad snow storm, so I would never trust a heat pump alone. Wh

The fan of a furnace takes little power. It can be run off of a small generator, which ~every homeowner in New England has. A heat pump cannot run off a small generator.

Airbnb used to be VC subsidized and cheap. Now that it's the same cost or more than a hotel room; I don't understand why someone would prefer Airbnb.

According to that source, this morning in Germany the total solar + wind + biomass energy production was under 410MWh, whereas gas + coal was around 8500MWh. Conservatively, _just the battery cells_ to make up for that shortfall _for just

Coal plants aren't "better", but they work when its dark and not windy. We need _something_ to fill that (rather large) niche.

That's crazy. In the USA, $2000 gets a m2 air with 24GB ram and 1TB drive. The cheapest option is $1200. Is there added taxes / tarrifs for the european prices? That's much worse than just the EUR/USD exchange rate.

A lot of people who don't know anything about finance think that "offshore bank accounts" is a magical tax loophole. They don't know what "tax haven" really means, they just hear it repeated often.

The majority of Americans commute less than 30 minutes. How is something the majority of people have "extreme privilege"? The idea of a 2 hour commute each way to be gone from 7am to 7pm is a complete fantasy.

The average commute in the USA is under 30 minutes. I have no idea where this idea that everyone commutes 2 hours came from, but its completely ridiculous. https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2021/o

No, the lightbulbs at home depot are inexpensive and they work fine. On the other hand, if you care about CRI, then you can also google for high-quality bulbs with a good CRI. I don't really see a problem here?

OpenAI could have blocked Google's accounts, for example. Nothing really to do with legality.

It just comes off as whiny. People were paying 50-60 dollars for videogames for decades, with no complaint. Now when inflation finally comes for video games, and you pay the same real price you were paying a few years ago, they're way

Nobody would buy those cars. We already have the Mitsubishi mirage, and the bmw 3 series easily outsells it. Most people don't get the cheapest car they can, they get the nicest car they can.

This isn't about a whistleblower exposing something bad. This is about someone going to the press about a (fake) upcoming product. Don't be naive. You don't leak a fake story to the press because of a lack of trust (???). You
