Even the most ardent Rust supports aren't going to say C++ will disappear. Name the last green field Cobol development however.

I've observed the complete opposite. The people pushing for Rust are people who are highly experienced software engineers who have gone through a career of hardship because of memory unsafe languages and understand the tradeoffs. The &

As well as the guy who just commented that they should use Zig instead as it's a "1-to-1 alternative to C" despite the fact that fish was written in C++.

> One of the common refrains is that the Rust community pushes people into doing these sorts of things. Not the person you asked, but I've never seen anyone claim this happens before. Yes there's plenty of people pushing things

Except Canadian oil is in fact generally cheaper than Texas oil. There's a price differential there because it's difficult to ship oil out of Canada. Similarly there aren't enough export ports for US oil so US oil prices are

Note I said "after". And you'd have to leave it at 280 degrees for quite some time to get the temporary effects. Some good ventilation and taking the pan off the fire will end the effects. If I'm remembering the statisti

The conversation was about flow batteries. This doesn't look like a flow battery to me.

Or better yet, serve you ads when you're not using the TV where it randomly comes on from time to time and displays an image ad and then turns off again.

> Firstly, "it's always white" is domain-specific knowledge that most of us don't have. How is common home repair supplies count as "domain-specific"? You don't have some teflon tape in a storage drawer

Overheating a Teflon pan is pretty difficult to do, and even then it's not like it suddenly exposes your body to dangerous chemicals if you continue to use the pan after it's been overheated once.

Recycling of lithium ion batteries is not a major issue. There just hasn't been sufficient volume to justify a recycling business until very recently. Now there are numerous lithium ion battery recycling companies making hefty profits

Emphasis on "more than". Lithium-ion batteries have been below $200 per kilowatt-hour for quite some time. Basically the statement is lying through omission.

People keep touting flow batteries over and over to the level it's started to feel like snake oil salesmen. I've heard the same story for many years now and they're still more expensive than standard lithium ion batteries, wh

I suggest reading up on what Teflon is. Teflon cannot stay around in the body. It's safe.

Teflon is not a dangerous PFAS. That's why it's downvoted. Also no, Teflon cannot stay in your body. It's not available for biouptake. The non-reactivity of Teflon is it's entire point. This is why Teflon coated pans are

Teflon plumbing tape is universally white so I figure he figured that was enough to communicate that it was white going in.

I think the intent is to show first by counterexample that, no, the syntax is quite readable for what it's trying to represent. After showing that the syntax isn't the problem they then show that the language semantics are indeed

For something called calligrapher I would have expected it to be able to do Japanese, but it just produces unreadable garbage when non-English is used.

New syntax is pretty easy to pick up. It's just window dressing. What you're actually seeing is a trap a lot of programmers fall into where if something is unfamiliar then it's treated as if it's incorrect.

That doesn't sound like a silent upgrade but instead a silent downgrade to cleartext, a big security no-no that should never be performed.

Not sure how that's related. This is about a human adversary actively trying to defeat an AI. The roadway is about vehicles in general actively working together for the flow of traffic. They're not trying to destroy other vehicles
