Ask the average Chinese person whether life was better for them in the late 90s or the late 2010s. I'm pretty sure the rates of hunger and malnutrition dropped significantly over that timeframe. I have no doubts that obesity is higher

By "rust docs" you seem to mean "docs.rs, the website that hosts documentation for all crates in the Rust ecosystem", which is a little bit different than the impression you give. It's a whole web services with crat

We're in a thread about how it's outselling the original. Regardless of the silliness of the branding, it clearly didn't flop.

They were correct to laugh at Columbus. He wanted to sail to India, everyone told him (correctly, because they weren't naive about the basic geography) that the distance was much too far. He lucked into finding an unknown landmass th

SteamOS today bears no resemblance to the version put out in 2013. It's literally based on a different distribution, and lots of things have been customized since then.

Mozilla continues to add new Rust to Firefox, despite discontinuing the Servo project. A big parallel rewrite is not the only possible approach to writing Rust. "Fixing it" does not have to look like Servo. In fact doing more in

The browser engine is not what makes Firefox "relevant" or not. Their competitors are Apple, Google and Microsoft. The marketing budget for Chrome is larger than Mozilla's entire budget. "Google" is synonymous wi

It's a lot easier to swap out the renderer or the CSS engine for a new one than it is the whole core of the browser engine. Mozilla decided that replacing Gecko as-is was not reasonably likely to actually happen, and that further effor

Fantastic. That's step one, now fix the public transit, and make it safer and cleaner, so that people actually enjoy using it consistently rather than just needing to do so. Do that and NYC will be a much, much nicer city to live in.

Why you wrapping it in all of these conditionals? Why does it matter whether the many people with firearms went inside the capital itself or if they just helped other break through the police barricades outside the capital, which they did?

First of all, you're moving the goalposts from "weapon" to "loaded gun". Second of all, you said that "none" of those articles say that the guns were loaded, but the first one I just checked did literally
