It is not a useless observation. Of course there is an "agenda" (strange word choice for "thesis" or "point"). Like I said, the point in the article is that there needs to be alternatives to car ownership and c

The point of the article is that rising EV sales, even at 87% in Norway (which yields only 20% EVs on the road), is not enough to fix the environmental problems of car driving. TFA talks about the need to end the car-size arms-race and the

"Transparency" in Congress has lead to grandstanding and posturing to cameras, at the expense of the necessary compromises and deals that could otherwise happen.

I don't doubt it. However my point is that the scene is so small that direct interactions with the community hardly moves the needle when it comes to the broader cultural perception.

Techno and heavy metal have completely traditional harmony and rhythm. Sure, the instruments have massive distortion and new sounds, but the "big blocks" are completely familiar to the brain, unlike avant-garde classical music whi

The classism/elitism problem is much more an image problem foisted/reinforced by pop culture than it is a real, inherent issue. When all you hear of classical music is on TV shows where it represents "the rich, elitist villai

Can you be more specific? Is it recruiting or advancement in-role? Obviously having kids is hard, but I haven't experienced discrimination that I know of. Sure, my career hasn't grown as quickly, but it has continued to grow. I wo

I don't know of one, and making this judgement based on CVE data alone will not answer your question. Factors ignored include codebase size, customer count, internal CVE filing standards/criteria, etc. The only signal I would co

Amazing progress. Any updates on UI overhaul or planned timeline for it? I'm looking to make Bevy my go-to for GUI as well as for games (sometimes the line is blurred).

Pure rust should mean "only uses rustc" not "only uses cargo" imo. Cargo is great, but it is not the language itself or the only build system for rust in the world.

A fair point. However, what are we optimizing for? An open/fair market, or consumer safety? Balance is key, but I'm interested in any counter proposals that do a better job.

I think this claim has some merit. Perhaps the only thing missing (or perhaps intended to be self-evident) is that ad-hoc polymorphism is also useful and pragmatically, this situation doesn't come up too often. In particular, encapsula

FB has a friends-specific feed, but it is buried a bit. EDIT: just browsed it a bit and I was refreshed to see things that are at my scale and about the people I care for. I wish this was still the main thing with FB.

What are the language/tooling gaps specifically that prevent this today, and have there been RFCs to close them? Are the gaps primarily "in-language" or missing tooling for formal verification?

Yes, habitual clenching is pretty common from what I can tell. It leads to gum recession and other dental issues, as well as headaches. I have made progress on it by habitually doing "self-scans" for where I'm holding tension

Minivans are far more efficient at storing stuff and people than SUVs. SUVs lose so much interior space by being higher off the ground. The idea that SUVs have good storage space is a marketing myth.

Why are unalienable IDs an awful idea? Unalienable IDs seem to me to be the "default" of human societies. Before technology, everyone had "unalienable IDs" -- if you saw Bob, it was Bob.

At least npm has namespaces (scopes) to group packages by trustable entity. I wish cargo had namespaces. It's a big miss for an otherwise security conscientious project imo.

I'm just as concerned about behavioral targeting for non-advertising content. It seems weird to disallow targeting for one type of content and not another. Behavioral targeting of the majority of content (advertising is a minority) is
