Yeah it's totally excessive, lol. That's just what wikipedia says about your country's laws. No idea if it's accurate, haha.

I specifically did not choose the word disingenuous. I asked him to be more ingenuous. His assertion was "there is absolutely no way you are going to sustain 40 Kph+ for anything but a very short period". I disagree, and I thi

I have an e-bike and I disagree with your assertions. I'm a fat asthmatic and I have absolutely no problem maintaining 40kph for long stretches of time on my bike. The fastest I've done on it (on a large hill but still) is 42.7M

That doesn't make your code faster though. For a particular bit of single threaded computation the async approach is going to be slower due to context switching overhead. Same in C#, Rust, etc. If your performance is I/O bound,

Does anyone expect async anything to be faster? AFAIU async enables greater scalability by allowing computation to continue in other contexts while awaiting read/write operations - at the cost of slightly lower single context performan

Diablo is unfortunately a lost cause in my eyes. Simplified gameplay, skills, items, etc. I'm a big ARPG fan and am currently enjoying the latest Path of Exile league. I don't see myself returning to the Diablo universe anytime

I very much feel this way as well. I've never quite articulated it as well as you have and it has given me some insight into my own behaviors. I think this is why I'm what is described as a "power gamer". When I play vi

They kind of were for a bit, but like many other conspiracy theories, it all got rolled up into QAnon in the past few years. And that is definitely mainstream.

I was ready to buy an estate in the Georgia mountains earlier this year - then I saw the internet connection options. Then I looked up how much it would cost me to get a decent wired connection out there. Totally unviable for tech workers

Being skeptical of a hypothetical like that is fine. Once the vaccine came out and was shown to be efficacious, they updated their opinions with the data. This is exactly the manner in which one would hope, and indeed expect, their politi

This has been a feature as long as I remember (I've been using it since late 2015). The nickname is still tied to your name#dddd account identifier. And if someone checks your profile, they can still see mutual servers and friends.

And yet, as Sartre shows us in No Exit, it is the very presence of other humans and our being forced to view ourselves from the perspective of others that causes us so much existential dread and pain. The mere presence of other sentient be

I think that's right. Like I said I reserve judgement until they're more prevalent and I've learned more about them. I have read that Ethereum's PoS implementation will use <1% of it's current PoW energy.
