There is an important difference between (A) trusting "just this one" cert for a specific reason, and (B) installing a root cert that is able to impersonate any server. It ought to be a practical to do (A) without doing (B), but

Right, phrasing it as "meat causes brains" confuses the direction of causality and fails to explain all the meat-eating animals that didn't grow large brains.

It seems nonsensical to me that simply eating meat protein could somehow cause a genetic change leading to great-grandchildren with larger brains.

Nothing about Rust async depends on closures or functions being first-class. It's literally just a state machine transformation. But now that state data that previously lived on a nice last-in-first-out stack has a different lifetime.

> maybe it was a mistake to adopt an async paradigm from functional languages I always thought of async as higher language sugar for coroutine patterns that I'd seen in use in assembler from the 1980's.

He's arguing (to paraphrase) "Because we've already incurred such costs we should continue or even expand the policy which caused them." Claiming that hazardous nuclear waste represents a fixed cost no matter how much yo

We're a century into nuclear reactor technology. Today is the long term, and the costs are still uncontrolled.

Rarely does one hear the sunk cost fallacy advocated so enthusiastically.

Yes, please include the cost of nuclear power in the considerations. (The joke here is that the true cost is undefined because we here in the US have no method to store the long-term hazardous waste it produces. Current cleanup costs for ju
