Planning (specifically urban planning around cars over the last century) is a giant failure. Hopefully you can understand why people like myself would be skeptical.

It's a lack of development of new housing for decades that caused the high prices we see in places like the Bay Area.

At thousands of dollars a month out of pocket, it makes sense that most people would struggle affording it. But 79% still seems really high, given 90% are covered by health insurance. I fear the price controls for insulin will only lead to

I could understand if they went to 59 feet. But yards are roughly the same as a meter. Why even bother?

Can you explain what you mean by your namespaces comment? AFAIK, Rust has modules and crates, not namespaces.

The parent comment linked to "personal vs private property" on the page. The section specifically cites "socialist, Marxist, and most anarchist philosophies".

by pitaj 4y ago
Yes, that was exactly what I meant. Intellectual property is not property, and is therefore not private property.

by pitaj 4y ago
I would say that intellectual property is not part of private property. There's also no easy distinction made between private and personal property, and any attempt to define one is nonsensical. There are endless examples where somethi

Only if you consider vaping equal to smoking, which it is certainly not.

The huge disadvantage is many people dying because, in the long process of vetting a new chemical or drug, it was not available for use.

How the hell are Walmart and Target, stark competitors in the same space, both monopolies?

It's an octane booster, which helps reduce knock.

I think it's less about wealth, and more about population density.

Is there a way to select and move multiple nodes at once?

by pitaj 4y ago
Yes that would be incredible, especially if there were a standard for interoperability. Imagine just dropping a generator into the frunk, plugging it in, and you're good to go for 500mi instead of 300mi.

The issue with that is that you have a lot of extra weight, parts, and complexity which you're barely ever using. Having a module allows you to only install it when you need it. You could even rent it only when needed, as another perso

Right but those were built in, not a module that could be installed only when needed.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I wasn't paying enough attention.

Oh nice, it's a generator module that turns your EV into a hybrid for long-haul trips. I've been talking about this kind of thing for years. Glad it's finally an option. ~~While this appears to be just extra battery, which is

If you look at rates of violence over time, the gun laws you're talking about had no effect. Violence continued to decrease at the same rate it did before.

That's completely false. The right of the people to bear arms is not dependent on them being in a militia.

Wow that's really clever. I never considered that the 8 unicode bytes corresponding to the 8 bits of u8 would fit in a u64.

It used to be like that, but not anymore. I just checked and if you access it through Firefox, it will have Firefox in the prompt.

It's one of the many checks and balances we have available.

I don't find rustdoc lacking at all. It's great for API documentation and it does have intradoc links. Of course for a more serialized tutorial, rustdoc is not a good fit so we have mdbook.

Does bcachefs support something like raidz2?

I can see where you're coming from with plumbing and literacy. Government monopolized water utilities and education. But the greatest increases in life expectancy were from the late 1800s to the mid 1900s. The improvements have slowed

You should wash everything you cut through: avocados, melons, etc. Because the knife blade spreads germs into the innards as it cuts through. A banana is different. Unless you touch the fruit, the germs from the outer skin don't come i

Where are you seeing them? As far as I can tell the CSS styles tell the browser to use the system fonts.
