I definitely agree in the short term, but having profitable assets might attract the wrong kind of people to the organisation so I don't know how I feel about it in the long term.

Rust has supported statically linking to MSVC and musl for a while now but also added static glibc support on Linux very recently: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/77386

I still think Ruby is the more interesting and expressive language. However, for me there's a single pain point that means Python wins in any larger project. That is the behaviour of Python's "import" vs. Ruby's &qu

At those frequencies you're going to be losing a lot of power in the switching losses of the transistors. Power MOSFETS have very low leakage when fully on or off, the largest loss tends to be during the transition when voltage and cur

We've been waiting for "knowledge bank" type of jobs to be replaced by AI any year now since the expert systems of the 1980's. But I feel like this kind of thinking reveals an ignorance of these professions. Optometrists

I think this can happen indirectly and unintentionally as people increasingly segregate into tribes.

Not sure what's up, but this website refuses to scroll on any Chrome based browser on my phone. Works fine in Firefox though. Edit: Weird. Now it works. Though there still some initial "resistance" when I start scrolling...

I think you're right. By the time you know what everyone is buying/selling with any certainty, the boat has already sailed.

I don't think the issue here is about guessing. It's about how reluctant many doctors can be about exploring scientific paths which are newer and as yet less traveled. To be sure, it would take a non-trivial time investment on the

I'm rather surprised to see this statement: "...our planet has operated on a 24-hour clock for the entire span of evolutionary time". My understanding is that during the Cambrian, the day was less than 23 hours long. At the e

Modifying the environment sounds a lot like the the level 4 autonomy the exec said would be quite possible.

I think there's some confusion here. The effect is meant to describe the feelings being experienced and not the actual objective state of the individual. I have come across many people who had never heard the term before but immediatel

I'm the same but I'm finding there's simply not enough room to fold over like this on newer airliners.

Euro English is one example I can think of. The semantic shifts can make the language more ambiguous when used between different groups of speakers.

I don't understand why point 5 about efficiency trends is relevant. Power consumption trends show us power consumption is continuing to climb irrespective of efficiency. It's clear that civilisation's need for power continues

Physiologically it probably involves mirror neurones and what you describe shouldn't be all that surprising or require an internal philosophical discourse as parent might have suggested.

It's unfortunate some people think having their article read is a priority. Perhaps we need a browser plugin where people can rank the accuracy of titles from various outlets so the user can decide if an article is likely to waste thei

How can the team be productive if its members are not personally productive? It seems to me about the only person that would be getting a productivity boon out of this is the team leader.

I'm someone who loves the new features even though I don't think they're "pythonic" in the classical meaning of this term. That makes me think that being pythonic at it's most base level is actually about makin

Similarly, a candle carries over 10 times the energy of the same sized stick of TNT but you'd have to work pretty hard to get that energy out quickly.

While equalising opportunity is a noble endeavour, I fail to see how this particular initiative would achieve that. In short, it's too little too late. If someone struggled through high school because of environmental factors, they&#x2

Roman metallurgy was really not at a point to make practical use of steam power on a scale that made it more effective than using slaves. Crucible steel, a bare minimum, wouldn't come to Europe for over a millennium. They simply did no

While this approach did strike me as quite elegant in theory, what I found in practice was that a lot of those interfaces ended up just being boilerplate to give me access to the underlying elements of the data which I would have gotten for

It's interesting that the very things that attracted the author to Clojure was what kept me from moving to it from Python. I enjoyed the syntax. Loved the immutability. However, I wasn't able to understand the structure of program

This reminds me of a tour I was once on, by one of the resident archaeologists in the open-air museum in Biskupin, Poland. It's the site of an iron age fortified settlement and there is both ongoing archaeological excavation and a reco

Ha! I had not actually considered that an ink that is hard to get out of paper might be hard to get out of your skin as well!

Yes, I was also wondering if there are any other nibs besides gold that can survive this ink. Not sure if I'm ready to shell out that much for a fountain pen.
