We get that Zig doesn't have memory safe features. How much of a big deal is that anyway - what proportion of issues are caused by memory safety errors? And as an aside - how many Rust codebases use unsafe code? (I don't know the

Fuel oil is a very cheap way of generating power, when you have several thousand tons of it already on your ship :) The possible few percantage difference in efficiency between ship-based oil-powered generation, and land-based power generat

There isn't a way to do that without HGVs (heavy goods vehicles) paying practically all of the annual VED. It's pretty clear that "smart chargers" will become "smart tax revenue generators" in the near future.

VED (Vehicle Exercise Duty), as it is currently known, is now based on emissions. It would be a hard sell to undo that, and base it on something else (like vehicle weight/size/etc). The most acceptable way to tax EVs at this point

If this is typical sentiment from crypto users, then the maintainer has done the right thing. I too would not like to spend my spare time and energy supporting people who can't distinguish between "oppressing minorities" and

Pretty clearly you would have to radically re-think how much animal produce you would get to eat. Also - countries like The Netherlands have a strong tradition of backyard chickens to suppliment a household's diet.

I'm fully aware of that, which is why I said "domestically FED and raised". >Also, the feeding animal 10KG to get 1KG looks rather wasteful? Depends heavily on what animal product you are producing. Obviously we won't

What is morally and ethically worse - eating an animal fed and raised domestically, or eating soy-laiden "plant-based" foods that were grown on recently-raized rainforest several thousand miles away? It's our demand for goods
