They explain in the interview that the rice is still sub tropical, so this only works in places without significant winters. With that the investment of the plant is likely much lower.

the real trick is to do the debugging/exploration on a small subset of the data. Then usually you don't need all these extra measures because the real processing is only done a small number of times.

Because it was more a theoretical exercise. The later languages were much more constrained by actual implementations. On the other hand the later implementors realized that some convenience is needed, for example even the earliest languages

One wonders what they do with the sewage. That must be water pollution disaster (even with the 1/3rd of it that becomes methane)

>Without libc you don’t have to use this global, hopefully thread-local, pseudo->variable. Good riddance. Return your errors, and use a struct if necessary. On contrary you should absolutely use errno, if only to report your IO errors

On Linux/Unix you will get in a (somewhat) random exit value, so if you run the program from a "set -e" script it will randomly fail. I guess that didn't bother whoever "allowed" that, but I consider it a bug.

It should work for g++, as long as you build you own "std" module (which sadly is somewhat complicated) and enables -fmodule-ts. I guess he's hoping that will be easier in 2023. What bothers me more is the lack of "ret

it's not necessarily the same machine but just the same proxy or nat gateways which can aggregate very large numbers of machines. I don't know if it's still true but at some point all of Saudi Arabia came from the same handfu

Margins != overhead. The overhead of insurance is much higher than the margins, and a lot of it is wages and related expenses.

One interesting question is how this trend will end. Possibilities: - Cars get larger and larger forever until cars get abolished for some other reason. - There's some natural limit on how large a car can get and all cars will eventual

88.4% successfull checkins sounds quite low. With thousands of people in the program thats a very high failure rate. Of course some of it may be intentional, but even if half of it is intentional thats a huge amount of unintentional failure

I guess that's why democratic elections work. We believe the elected politician knows us because we know some things about them, even though they have no clue about nearly all of their constituents.

Unless I misread the article they didn't get sued so far, just publicly shamed (on twitter presumably). Suing costs a lot of money.

Clickbait on arxiv? Et tu, Brute? No, most operating systems that people are actually use are written in ISO C, so the headline is by definition wrong.

I was actually aware of that story. But she wasn't hit, so it doesn't invalidate my statement.

Maybe it's similar to the well known "more likely to be hit by a meteorite than to win the lottery" style statements. Obviously that's completely wrong: i've never heard of anyone being hit by a meteorite, but peopl

Seems a much better solution would be to let the drivers go bankrupt? If it's possible for startups why not for cab drivers? That hedge fund or whatever it is that owns them would suffer, but well I'm sure they had a good ride whi

As a author of a library that got rewritten by another team in go with a similar rationale, I must say that the Go ecosystem's unwillingness (or inability) to interface seamlessly with other languages seems like its greatest drawback.
