You've only got two bakeries where you live? One 400km away and one down your block? You've never found a new restaurant online? You've never looked at reviews on yelp? Idk what to tell you. Based on your example (only search

Wow, only location, huh? Doesn't matter if their product is actually good? And I guess if there are two bakeries in the same location (happens every day in these places called "cities"), I will just pick randomly then. If you

You're picking exceptions to the rule and claiming that those exceptions invalidate the whole rule. Sure some bakeries are just better than others, a good bakery with no website will do better than a bad bakery with a website. But all

Even if those people aren't using computers at their job (and I even disagree with that), they still use computers. A baker with a computer and internet access has access to more recipes than a baker without a computer. A baker with a

Why does having a large population matter? If you look at the top 10 countries in terms of population (China, India, US, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Brazil, Bangladesh, Russia, Mexico), most of those places are not exactly heavyweights on

by robot_no_421 3y ago
You should be measuring that population as a % of their total population. Not sure why you're comparing absolute numbers. China has triple the young people we do, but quadruple the old people that depend on the young people.

China is facing severe demographic issues for the next 20-30 years due to their terribly short sighted one-child policy and their poor immigration rates. Literally the opposite of what you're saying. Where on earth did you get your fac

>If the CEO of a gambling company said, "Gambling is good." Do you think that would be more or less effective propaganda that if the CEO paid someone else, let's say someone in a white lab coat, to say the same? Difference

I'm simply of the opinion that a single blog post isn't enough info for you to make a judgement call on whether a rewrite or a port is a good idea or not. Criticizing an article without even pointing out any specific criticisms (s

Right, that's why my first sentence was "everyone should be skeptical of every source".... But if I'm forced to trust someone (and most of us are on a daily basis), I'd rather trust the guys whose whole job revolves

Everyone should be skeptical of all sources. But out of the myriad of various opinions coming from politicians, CEOs, propagandists, flat out out idiots, and everything else in between, scientists are arguably the class of truth sayers you

Article was not written to convince skeptical contrarians, it was written to explain their decisions. I doubt they care that you aren't convinced of their choices when you have no skin in their game. If you read their article clearly l

I'm not even sure what kind of point you're trying to convey here. What you're describing is called "fraud" and is super illegal. If someone leaves their door unlocked, you could also enter their house and steal ten

Yes, and no. Don't ask me rhetorical questions if you don't want a rhetorical answer.

You're not modeling or predicting anything though. That's like saying "what if I built a bridge that failed on the first day? A computer would need several days to calculate all the forces that led to the failure, but my brid

The reason why you can't spend it at the store is because the store doesn't accept it. The reason why the store doesn't accept it is because of the aforementioned scaling and complexity issues.

Can't you just take good advice without getting so defensive? It's not a life or death matter.

Cryptocurrency almost solves this, but the scaling issues and high knowledge barrier to entry is still holding this idea back.

Ok, but do you actually enjoy using CMake, or do you accept how horribly complex it is because it lets you do some esoteric thing you want to do? Every tool has limitations, sure. But I think you're disagreeing about something I didn&#

I cannot overemphasize how enjoyable it is to work with cargo when I'm coding in Rust; I think it's one of the major reasons why Rust took off. As complicated as Rust is, it's a breeze to not only build projects but also add

Another way to tell is to try to read things or look at a clock/numbers in your dream. Often time the information will not make sense, and will change if you look away and back. I've done this myself once or twice in a dream and I

It's not really that hard of a problem. You just use a different allocator (like the author did in this article). In fact, you can even write your own allocator with unsafe if you want (jemalloc is already using a lot of unsafe in the

If you want to check for overflow, then you can use the methods that explicitly check for overflow: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.u32.html#method.chec... So this is not an issue at all.

It's still fun once you learn how to solve it. But fun in a different way. You're treating it as a puzzle to solve. But once you learn how to solve it, it ceases to be a puzzle and it becomes a really fun fidget toy. Seeing how fa

This seems to be a big hullabaloo about nothing. Language is a tool for communicating meaning; as long as the other person is understanding what you're saying then it's not that big a deal how the message was delivered. People get
