Impressively small and trade-offs seem pretty reasonable. (namely lack of runtime parser, minimal built-ins). Initially thought the lack of built-ins would be annoying but it looks very easy to simply "re-implement" them given how

SpaceX is currently valued at ~$135B as of last cap raise (which was fairly recently). Boeing's market cap is current $80B. Snapchat was valued pretty richly but is now valued at $20B. Personally (despite being a huge fan) I think Spac

Installed ArchLinux from iso downloaded via BitTorrent just this weekend. BT is great for me because I live in Thailand and we don't always have the best mirrors but generally plenty of peers on fast domestic fibre links.

If you need a generic replacement for NAT Gateway you can build one using Transit Gateway and a pair of router VMs running GRE+BGP. Amazon has most of an example here using quagga (but CloudFormation, ick): https://github.com&#x2

Most pension funds probably had an exposure somewhere on the order of 0.05% AUM or less so it should have no significant impact. It's the crypto hedge funds and other businesses that were holding huge chunks of BTC/ETH that are in

Space sounds like Outback Australia, most of it's empty but the few things there are will just kill you. Doesn't sound very hospitable.

Huh, it is higher now. Not quite 40% though, coal and LNG accounted for 26.5% and 31.7% in 2021: https://www.isep.or.jp/en/1243/ Renewables are aggressively scaling up and nuclear looks like it's rebounding s

Not a crypto fan but regarding the 51%+ attack that is sort of covered by game theory. By performing the double spend they doom the network itself so it will either be forked so it may continue or entirely die out. Either way the party carr

Other countries also have universal healthcare, free tertiary education and all sorts of things you would expect from a developed country. I've come to the conclusion that the US is just a rich country with a huge military industrial c

First of all I am mostly talking about plastics in the context of food packaging. I would be more inclined to agree with your argument regarding progress/innovation if there were more novel plastics coming to the market for food packag

Same plan we use for drugs. Test if it's safe, if it's safe we allow it's use, if not we don't. Initially it will probably need to grandfather stuff in but having a whitelist will make it easier to ensure unsafe things a

Especially when one of the main reasons for needing to post more collateral isn't necessarily that your position is underwater but rather volatility has picked up and risk needs to be brought down. This happens because futures especial

That would be true if the actual NFTs stored the art in question, or even a cryptographic fingerprint of it. Generally speaking most NFTs are just a URL that usually points to some random webserver on some random domain, both of which could

And they aren't afraid of making that clear. I don't think it's shock advertising at all, it's just their brand, product and messaging being in perfect sync.

Hasn't been a problem for Musk or O'Leary when it comes to getting stuff done. It has other downsides sure, GSD isn't one of them.

To qualify for greater fool something must a) overvalued vs its utility and b) purchased on the sole assumption that it can later be resold at a higher value. This leaves you with a surprisingly small amount of assets. Collectibles probably

It does and it doesn't. Futures trade almost around the clock and yet the only time market moves are -really- solidified is during the US trading session when most of the liquidity is sloshing around. The reason for this is almost all

Be thankful you don't have to interact with tsc or eslint on a daily basis. kotlinc is way slower than javac but damn, it's still pretty fast compared to what else is out there.

The biggest one has been deflating their property bubble. It still remains woefully unaffordable but they have stalled the relentless rise in housing costs and have started to even bring them down in some cities. Their "housing is for

That is certainly true but they also seem willing to go much further than any country has before in an attempt to reverse their population growth decline.

Interesting that this is built on Godot. The Tesla Infotainment UI is also using Godot so it seem to be picking up steam in this sort of non-traditional application of game engines. Very cool!

Yeah but Ruby and Python aren't relocatable so it's hard to ship a self-contained interpreter with the program itself. This is due to their reliance on system paths among other things. You can trivially ship a self-contained JVM t
