A relevant quote from the source that the Protocol article is written from: "Uranium for nuclear fuel is another element of concern. While Russia represents 6% of global production for mined uranium, the country has around 40% of globa

It could be worth reading the source article for this; it's written in fairly clear language and includes similar data charts: https://www.iea.org/commentaries/critical-minerals-threaten-...

Promoting clean energy isn't mutually exclusive with reducing consumption (at least in the short-term, until clean energy is both the norm and in surplus).

GNU's complexity[1] tool calculates something like what you're talking about for procedures in C programs, and calls the result a "complexity score", although I don't think it accounts for variable names, nor magic

Thank you. I read the links you shared, and also about an escalator incident[1] involving football fans. These are certainly not events that seem to happen often elsewhere. I'll try to follow news there more closely in future. [1] -

That may be true, although it doesn't really address the parent commentor's line of argument: in environments where few (if any) people are allowed to have guns, concealed carry isn't necessary, and gun crime is rare.

A command-line tool that displays the changelog and diff between current-local and latest-upstream versions of all dependencies would be useful. In other words: "pip list --outdated" but with a changelog and code diff for each dep

It was a fairly random find. I was looking at their list of supported car models[1] out of curiosity, and wondered whether "comma body" was a typo. Evidently not! [1] - https://github.com/commaai/openpilot&#

I'm not sure whether it's quite in that category yet - or whether this quote demonstrates that it's an elaborate joke/troll related to Silicon Valley (the TV series), but progress on Comma Body[1] may be worth following.

One of the largest risks of project-owner compromise to everyday users and businesses would, I think, be from widely used software where automated updates occur. That leads to an argument for updates being performed manually after inspectio

One of my favourite small details about PostGIS is the way that the documentation includes visual representations of what various query operators achieve. Here are some examples for ST_Buffer: https://postgis.net/docs/
