It implies a much higher level of service. A high end car wash (full service including interior vacuuming and wiping down surfaces) is about $30 (yes, bay area prices). “Detailing” would probably be $200 or more and means leaving your car t

Which was my point. Rust proves more about its programs than does C++.

The only way this is even close to true, imo, is you have really good tests and have taken the time to get those tests running with every available sanitizer, including MemorySanitizer (which is a huge pain). And even then, I think you&#x27

Well if you have aesthetic objections to the way rust does it, I can't argue with you. Kotlin does it the way you like, though. Anyway, I started in on this thread because I was objecting to the claim that optional types always have ov

That’s why I said properly implemented! Good optional implementations let you do the check once to unwrap the inner value, so you have one branch. In rust: fn foo(s: Option<&S>) -> { if (let Some(inner) = s) {

> Optionals are not zero-overhead in any other language. This is a common misconception, and a pet peeve of mine. Properly designed optional types add neither space nor code-size overhead. Consider the C function: foo(int* ptr) { .

No, and the other comments about gas laws and volume are overthinking it a bit. Pressure at the surface is caused by the weight of the atmosphere. On earth, a column of air extending from sea level to space, with cross sectional area one sq

You miss my point. I'm proposing we fix goalposts, am offering flexibility as to their exact location, and then I'd like to see someone kick a field goal.

What an odd reply. Gwern doesn't really talk about the attributes of "the Absolute" in this post. He explains why computational complexity arguments against the possibility of smarter-than-human AIs fail. I have read several

I find a lot of the comments on this topic (and anytime AI comes up) very frustrating. Many of them strike me as little more than skeptical posturing: “it’s just statistics!” or “Current AI systems have no understanding and so can’t solve p

No, I was actually really trying to figure out why you didn't mention the rest of the paragraph. It seemed like a good answer to your question. If you didn't think it was a good answer, it would have been helpful to know why you t

But I didn't imply anything, I asked if he had read it. I wasn't trying to be rude, I legitimately think that the rest of that paragraph was a really good answer to his question.

It's not unreasonable, but I think it's incomplete. We may be headed towards a world in which private companies exert a great deal of control over what an individual can say. Not only by controlling communication platforms, but al

I think your replies in this thread show a complete misunderstanding of what std::optional is for (or at least, what it should be for, in my opinion). std::optional is for modeling a value that may be null . If the value may be null then

This comparison is too simplistic to be useful. Sweden and Norway have a couple of large cities, and then endless swaths of nearly-uninhabited tundra. If you count Greenland as part of Denmark, its density probably drops to below that of No

I'm open to the possibility that GrubHub and others are a net negative for the industry on balance. But I'd still like to know what the actual margins are for the restaurants on app orders before I make up my mind about that.
