If the wind infrastructure can be weatherized to effectively prevent such a scenario from happening (which it's my understanding is the case), then the claim that wind is to blame is still an untrue allegation. The blame would lie with

I am in agreement with you in regards to the dangers autonomous weapons pose for domestic use, but unfortunately drone-warfare is a national defense issue and already is impacting how wars are fought. https://www.forbes.com/

Except the iPhone is really not on the users side. I do tend to think the iPhone isn't going to spy on me, or at least if it is, it's going to be doing so to a much lesser extent than Android. But it's also not going to, for

You seem to caution against using vue and react when targeting the web. Is the haxe-react project you linked to in that post what you normally use for building front-end apps, or how are you approaching that if not?

I've also been on reddit since before the major digg exodus. I did start out on digg, though. The thing which drove me to reddit in the first place was better conversations and a relative lack of memes. By better conversations, it&#x27

I find the concept absurd as well. If you do something like go back in time and murder Hitler, you're going to be impacting the actions of every single human being alive. Within a few generations there's going to be an entirely di

I know I am not alone in this, but I absolutely cannot stand touch screens in cars, and would like for this trend to reverse. It is hard to navigate without physically looking at the screen, which is a huge safety hazard while driving.

You're misdiagnosing the problem. The problem isn't that the police are less able to do their job and thus more people are able to get away with stealing food. The problem is that people are not able to afford food.

It provides a runtime which developers can link their games against, but there is nothing which enforces or mandates this. You can ship a binary that makes 0 use of the steam runtime, and this binary could be blatantly broken on various dis

I'm not replying to detract from your point, because I agree with you whole heartedly that competing ecosystems are not mature enough to dethrown C++ if you're someone who is pragmatic and wants to get things done. C++ has an enor

According to the article, for Japan, the number of suicides for men in October is 1,302, up 229 from last year. The number of suicides for women in October is 851, up 385 from last year. Seems strange to single out one gender here. I'm

I think you might be right, but I also don't know how viable this was before the DMCA. I have never been able to get youtube-dl to work with (both ubuntu / mint) distro packages. The packages always fall out of date due to youtub

Just some random speculation, but how do we know the choices are random? Moreover, I think there's an element of competence being enjoyable. If I start to learn a hobby and experience little successes along the path to competence, that

I'm very excited to see where we'll be in another 10 years. The possibilities in terms of medical and industrial applications seems hard to overstate. Related, but one of the best talks I've ever seen was this 2018 talk on th

I like the analogy of computer keyboards. The layout (QWERTY) would be the API, but keyboards differentiate themselves in numerous and substantial ways. It would be unworkable madness if each keyboard manufacturer was required to use a dif

Yes, agreed 100%. I firmly that believe touch screens in cars are a safety hazard. I think we're going to collectively realize that putting touch screens on everything is a mistake. It prevents you from being able to use an interface u

Wait, what has Windows achieved? My point was that you can't claim the 100 million+ Windows userbase as being the largest Linux distribution, because almost none of those people (proportionally) are actually using WSL. I don't thi

Do we have usage stats for WSL? I did a quick google search and the only thing I found was a laughably biased article claiming only around 150k people used WSL1. Just because Windows has a much larger userbase does not mean that WSL is seei

I'm thankful this is his attitude. I think part of the appeal of Bevy is that it is built in Rust, and you are meant to use Rust in building your project. I think it pushes the design to make working in Rust as optimal as possible.

I have to imagine that blanketing an area with seeds dropped from a flying drone would be far more effective than a ground based robot which planted trees. Obviously the success rate of a ground based robot would be far higher, but I think

This is correct. If you want to create a multiplayer game, you can go about it by running the simulation on everyone's computer, and sending only the inputs to the simulation across machines (Lockstep networking). This requires the sim
