Yeah, if we had a similarly-sized power grid on Mars, the lack of a strong geomagnetic field would make quick work of that grid. Although I’m sure the increased distance from the Sun might help reduce the frequency of flare hits versus miss

They won’t get worse as New York is submerged under the Atlantic ocean, but they’ll just add salt to the wound periodically over 150 years... Thankfully the speed of light gives us a day or so of warning time when a blob of charged plasma

Theoretically expensive, but modern hardware is optimized for this case. Random access lookups and cache misses from the linked list will tank performance, even in most cases where a linked list is theoretically equivalent or preferred.

How does this differ from just sharing &str?

Those .unwrap() and .clone() calls make the points for optimization or improvement very obvious.

I think if saying that it’s a simpler, easier solution that provides the guarantees that you need, and the other poster still does not understand this, it’s safe to say you shouldn’t put more effort into this. Thanks for your explanations :

If I had to deal with engineers with stubborn behaviors like this on a day to day basis, I would go completely insane and quit my job. I can feel the release of cortisol just from reading these bullet points.
