ID should be something the government provides to everyone "for free" (for taxes already paid, by all taxpayers). That way anyone and everyone should be expected to have an ID and depriving someone of that ID or their use of real

Though it lacks in the headlines, my preference is to send the robots first to bootstrap local production. Unless we really screw up the worst case would be some extra garbage to clean up for future missions, and the best case is any sort

Got any guesses about energy used for propulsion, cooling solutions (energy used for them as well as overall capacity), communications and how those might degrade over time in a real environment rather than just academic theory? That's

Yes, and my desktops utilize ECC too for that reason. I only lack ECC in the places it's really difficult to avoid that tremendous drawback. E.G. a Steamdeck is or smartphone are both relegated as toy devices that are not for serious

Same, but I also discovered a wonderful bonus in the difference between True ECC DDR5 and just the on chip BS stuff. ECC DDR5 boots insanely fast since the BIOS can quickly verify the tune passes. This is even true when doing your initial

Or, just provide 'basic healthcare' as a human right (and service for being taxed) and make ALL plans on top of that luxury services. Wouldn't you like to STOP the insanity of "picking" a plan every year (or more) a

I'd feel better about a kid smart enough to learn how to get around DNS block lists and other forms of mass surveillance and filtering than one who free ranges and isn't even trying to get out.

My personal opinion: Trade Mark - as long as dues are paid Patents a yearly cap of N things and only the most worthy get a 20 year patent, world wide. Copyright ~ 5 years auto with exponentially more expensive renewals in 5 year blocks.

I didn't finish GT:NH but if I ever set aside enough time to play a GregTech build again, GTNH is on the very short list.

You can create a new empty array of variable size backed by a 32 Byte array as it's starting size. The difference is really that [32]Byte is a single pointer (in compiler hands that you never touch) to a slab of 32 bytes of memory; the

Wasn't there something about the wormhole that required it connect two relatively large gravitational bodies rather than a single one? I also remember 'harmonics' related to having more than one Stargate on a planet, even if

Regulations to require work is done correctly the first time. Also inspections. I like a government that pays workers to look out for my safety.

Maybe work should be put into make the curriculum more engaging so that it's less drudgery and boring work and more rewarding. A practical example of this from fitness is turning exercise into a sport.

As I was implying with chains after the toy example, the issue of ordering matters when there's a long sequence of operations that touches many accounts. How easy is it to track all of the buckets touched when for every source there c

I forget the term, it might be Dependency Graph. Hypothetically lets say there's a synchronized quantum every 60 seconds. Order of operations might not matter if transactions within that window do not touch any account referenced by o

If the scheduler is doing _any_ sort of accounting at all to figure out any remote sort of fairness balancing at all, then whatever resolution that is probably works. At least for Linux, offhand, popular task scheduler frequencies used to b

Hell, even force threads to be allocated from a bucket of N threads defined at compile time. Surely that'd work for embedded / GPU space?

Difference in Go is that you've _expressly_ constructed a dependency ring. Should Go or any runtime go out of it's way to detect a dependency ring? This the programming equivalent of using welding (locks) to make a chain loop, yo

In my view, the major design sin was not _forcing_ failure into the outcome list. .await(DEADLINE) (where deadline is any non 0 unit, and 0 is 'reference defined' but a real number) should have been the easy interface. Either it

Thank you. Every time I've tried to approach the concept of Rust's parallelism this is what rubs me the wrong way. I haven't yet read a way to prove it's correct, or even to reasonably prove a given program's use i

They just aren't as good at detecting real physical contact as a nice physical mouse is at responding to movement and pressure.
