I don't like this way oh phrasing it, as if growth was some external religious belief that has infected us. The reality is far more depressing. When you get down to it, what is growth? Growth means tomorrow is more comfortable than yes

I agree that the STL isn’t a core part of C++, but exceptions clearly are - can you call it C++ if you can’t use all the features of C++ ?

I wouldn't say Symbian was C++ - I remember it being a sort of intermediate step between C and C++. There were no exceptions, no STL, and many other weird quirks

It’s not perhaps less, it’s definitely yes. Burning fossil fuels kills more people in a year than the entire history of nuclear power

The massive advantage of hydro is that it also serves as energy storage. Too much wind today? Just use the excess electricity to pump water back up

I think you’re focusing your anger on the wrong target. Is it Google’s fault for performing blind objective skill tests? Or is it your society’s fault for not giving you the chance to grow up fed and safe enough to study?

This whole ricotta in lasagna thing is so strange… why on earth would you do that?

The sponsorblock seems pretty hypocritical: “I don’t want to give money to Google”… “Actually I don’t want to give money to creators either”

How many miles are you putting on that i10?! An oil change is every 2 years or 15k km. I think it’s a bad example btw, it’s a famously reliable car (the taxi of choice in Bogota fwiw)

not exactly the same thing - they're just listing the total fraudulent amount (or alleged fraudulent amount) for a massive program. it's not one hack

by namdnay 5y ago
IKEA is way higher than the minimum level of quality. Their range goes from medium-low to medium. You can find far worse furniture than ikea (often more expensive)

30-50k is just the excess mortality in winter months. Further in the article they estimate the number of people who die whilst having difficulty paying for heating to be 3k, and even that is only a correlation - poorer people die earlier fo
