But why would you need to fully charge? What matters is charging enough in a day to cover your daily needs.

If you're buying an EV, it seems buying one from traditionally ICE manufacturers is a bad idea. With the exception of Hyundai. They all seem to be quite shit.

China has collapsing demographics. Hated by every one of its neighbors. An economy completely dependent on exports. No food security. No energy security. A dictatorship.

For a technology to become widely used it usually needs one or more of these factors when it is released: 1. A big company that adopted it in a major way or created it (Go, Java, React). 2. A very low barrier to entry (Go, node.js, Python).

Async Rust has not been around long enough for lots of examples. Go has plenty of them. Rust is powering big parts of CloudFlare along with Go, which is way bigger scale. AWS also has big parts done in Rust.

That was then and this is now. If you are building under endless VC money go ahead burn it. Most of us however do not have endless stacks of money to burn runing our code.

Ok now what is the cost of all the instances. And how many instances would be required if Go/Rust would have been used? Also what is the cost in man hours spent on optimizations and profiling.

Time spent profiling and optimizing inherently inefficient technologies is an undervalued factor when deciding what stack to use.

There is only one thing I wish for. For it to stop butt wallpaper switching. The most retarded feature I have ever seen. I take the phone out of my pocket and I somehow switch wallpapers in the middle of it.

Redis is not meant as a primary database and should not be used as such. FoundationDB is meant as a reliable source of truth.

Performance is not the only metric. High availability (i.e. no single point of failure) with strong consistency are very important for some.

FoundationDB replaces MySQL/PostgreSQL (if the tradeoffs are acceptable) or Cassandra. It is a reliable distributed store. Unless you are running Redis only with nothing else, fdb and redis do not play in the same space.

Because memcache and redis are in-memory. Writing to fdb will be complete once it is fsync'ed to disk. Memcache is a cache. Fdb is a an ordered kv store.

The issue is the language gets more complex over time. The origin of the discussion was the statement Rust is just as complex as c++, which is completely wrong. Rust changes in small increments and even when they decide on a new edition tha

Rust editions are allowed to break backwards compatibility. If you have 2015 edition code and change your Cargo.toml and set it to 2021 edition, the code may no longer compile. My code went from 2015 to 2018 and 2021 by simply changing Carg

C++ versions are practically a new language. Last two Rust editions required no changes on any of my code. Why are people constantly harping on this obviously untrue idea. New Rust versions and editions make the language _simpler_.
