I wouldn’t consider it a major problem, especially with the coming robotic revolution. Even if the population declines by half, that would still leave 700 million people so twice the population of the U.S. According to predictions, the firs

In what world is the cost of 2.5 GB of RAM per 1 million connections an issue? Are you telling me there's a service in this world handling, for example, 100 million active connections, and they can't afford 250 GB of RAM? It'

If you are running $2 trillion deficits, then of course you will have trade deficits. You are an importer of goods and an exporter of USD. The problem will arise when your debt becomes unsustainable and alternatives to the USD emerge for se

Well, it's your site, so you can do what you want with it, but I don't believe what you just wrote is logical at all. Sometimes, you just want to see, in general, how one language compares to another when one uses intrinsics and t

Cool! I didn’t see it before, maybe because I mostly use the language vs. language feature. There is no such section there, but it would be very helpful IMO, instead of clicking every solution to check which one is intrinsics free.

You should really create a way to filter solutions with SIMD intrinsics and without them.

Nuclear plants often operate at 90%+ capacity factors, while solar can range from 10-25% depending on location. So you might need 4-9 times more solar capacity to match total energy output. So depending on the region, you might need 4-9 gig
