It’s not clear to me that the compiler couldn’t detect when you try to move a self referential string and prevent it. It basically does if you use pin.

Large parts of the world would be untouched (Africa, South America, Middle East). You might get a nuclear winter, but many people would still survive that.

Why would more women survive than men? Leaving asside how difficult it is for for a single woman to raise children in a post-apocalyptic society

That's also a good point

It would have to be worse than the previous volcanic extinction events, which were massive. It's not clear the Earth can even do that anymore.
336.
by slashdev 3y ago
This. It would take something truly catastrophic to make humans extinct now that there are so many of us on every part of the globe. Climate change won't cut it, neither would total nuclear war. Even if you had something like an impact

It can help your user's answer questions about the software, debug issues involving the software, have transparency into security, etc.

Also keep in mind pirated software doesn't cost the author anything if the user wasn't going to buy it anyway. If a company is willing to risk all that effort and liability to crack and maintaining the patches across changes to av

A drawback of JSONL (and JSON) for me is that you can't have trailing commas. If the format allows for that, and ignores trailing commas at the end of the line you can stream and parse line-by-line, but you can also take any arbitrary

I agree with you, as you would notice if you saw my other comments in this thread. But I'm wondering about the harms to society that we don't fully understand yet, and how we can mitigate them. Legalizing alcohol was for the best,
341.
by slashdev 3y ago
Maybe, that's true. But this isn't an article about those problems, it's an article about legalizing drugs. I don't think it's true that it is harmless to society, and I don't think we fully understand what the

Maybe, maybe not. I don't know, neither do you. I'd like to see some studies.

by slashdev 3y ago
There's nothing wrong with that. Just within limits. As you say, moderation is key.

I'm not saying everybody should be an entrepreneur, far from it, but a decrease in entrepreneurship at a societal level hurts everyone. You can see that too, right?

I don't think that's an either/or type of choice, do both

by slashdev 3y ago
I'm not advocating for that, it was clearly a disaster. But I wonder if it's beneficial to discourage those things more through education, taxes, etc.

I don't use cannabis, but I wonder how much cannabis, alcohol, television, social media, etc sap energy and drive from people in general. At a societal level, is that partially responsible for the decrease in entrepreneurship? How coul

Hot take: x86 was a swamp, but overtime we stopped using legacy features, and the instructions got better, and the amount of chip resources needed to implement the CISC architecture decreased to a small percentage of the total, such that it

Perhaps you’re right, but you offer no evidence in the contrary

That was early on. Later on, when there was a potential ceasefire deal on the table, the West, especially Boris Johnson, advised Ukraine not to accept it. Look it up. > Russia was ready to end the war and withdraw its troops in exchange

Aliens probably would not be able to eat Earth life.

It came pretty close, remember life slowly bounced back afterward. Something a little larger would almost do the trick. You just clean up what survives.

American viewers love gory violence, but get offended at steamy sex scenes. That makes no sense to me.

Or you could just smack it with a really big rock. That nicely sterlizes the planet too, so you can reseed it with life from your planet after to make it more comfortable. Honestly it's all kind of silly because distances are so vast.

With Nvidia controlling 90%+ of the market, this is not a viable option. They'd better lean hard into CUDA support if they want to be relevant.

There's more truth to that than I'd like to believe.

by slashdev 3y ago
I'll respect your wishes and not try to draw you into a debate here. I strongly disagree with all these points.

Could be.

That's true. Financial inequality is a much bigger problem in the US than discrimination.
