This is wrong. The EU issued an MoU and a charging standard which was voluntary . It was nothing more than them asking nicely to please use Micro-B. This is a law . It's completely different. https://en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2

This is often repeated, but wrong. The EU issued a Memorandum of Understanding asking phone manufacturers to use micro B. MoU are not laws, they have no force behind them. Micro B was never required or mandated. It was literally the EU sayi

The price of oil futures went negative. The spot price of oil has never and will never hit zero or negative. You can't use your regular intuition about commodity prices when talking about futures contracts. The negative price was a o

It seems crazy to me that something as trivial as allocating heap space needs rust nightly and unsafe. And people want to rewrite the world in Rust. Maybe in another ten years the language will mature.

It's reasonable to expect some level of vetting, sure. It's unreasonable to expect that vetting to uncover 100% of fraud in 100% of cases. A lot of people spent a lot more than $500k in FTX and none of their vettings came up with

Certainly the opportunity existed. Certain pre-conditions like battery tech and environmental concern were met. That doesn't detract from Musk's achievement. Toyota could have been making EVs since the early 2000's. Volvo, Ni

Most tech in modern cars comes from race cars. The DSG, DOHC, direct fuel injection, independent suspension, etc etc. Race cars are the development & staging environment for car manufacturers.

It's highly unlikely that's a car with 150k miles gets listed as a CPO. And, regardless, that should not affect the market price of the vehicle in general for private sale / trade in. > You buy a car from a guy on the stre

Every feature of the OS will eventually be re-implemented in the browser. It will be slower and less convenient to use.

Before covid, I think the "hippy dippy" vegan, naturepath, yogi stereotype was associated most strongly with anti vaxxers. Covid was politicized, and so it became a right wing stereotype to not want the vaccine. But specifically t

The point is that the federal government chose dollars as the way to pay taxes, not berries. The value of the dollar is decreed by the government, it's not something everyone just agrees on.

The other issue with JIT is that it is unreliable. It optimizes code by making assumptions. If one of the assumptions is wrong, you pay a large latency penalty. In my field of finance, having reliably low latency is important. Being 15% fas

Yes. That is like the definition of anti-competitive. Apple is abusing its power as a manufacturer to gain an anti-competitive edge in the retail side of its business.

This doesn't make sense to me. Why wouldn't you go for a 30 year loan when rates are low? You lock in your low rate, and you lock in a low monthly commitment. If budget allows, you can make additional payments towards the principa

In a real codebase, this would be wrapped by a macro to abort in a debug build but gain the optimizations in a release build.

>> and it won't be enabled in all build types. The typical usecase would to wrap this in a #define, so that it aborts on a debug build but you get faster code in a production build.

Because, as the article states, the OS interface is C. In order to do anything useful at all in your code, you need to call through the C API of your operating system. To replace this, you would need another compiled language. It can't

Someone actually has to implement the web browser / "tech stack". Web assembly, despite it's name, is an interpreted language. It is not magic. Interpreted languages need an interpreter (written in C).
