Yup, same issue with e-waste. It can be a pain to properly dispose of your broken 10 year old laptop. So many people don't do it. It just does in the trash can with everything else. Make it easy, people do it, minus a few edge case shi

Not really. Clean metal is fine and so are food products. Clean metal can help form reefs and such, why the Navy sinks ships. Food waste, like apple cores and such, all biodegradable. But the trash has to go somewhere. So things that doesn&

There definitely are roots that can be traced to institutional problems. The case with a certain DC1 who thought being a pain would make him feel better, it is an institutional problem that someone like that was able to get to a position th

Or more importantly, would the same motivators for the military exist for private industries. My example would not be nuclear, but waste in general. I did 5 years in the Navy. Out at sea, by regulations, we have really strict standards of h

Not to mention, most of those websites are loaded up to the hilt on a bunch of annoying adware. You can read 2-3 sentences, then you hit ad add you have to scroll past to read another 2-3 sentences to hit yet another ad you have to scroll p

This is the crappy part. I am sure some are mistaken, honestly. But then there are some I am sure are just fishing for book deals. Both of these can be true simultaneously. The problem is differentiating who is honestly mistaken and who has

Thats why I am waiting in more info to come out and not jumping on the "evil Chinese spies" band wagon. It could be "evil chinese spies," but I also know there are communities like Ham Radio that people around the world

Not even just weather balloons. Launching balloons using ham radio by amateurs is also pretty popular thing to do by ham radio operators around the world.

Even then, some fundamentalist have "science." Kent Ham being an example here.

Pretty much. I want to colonize Mars, but not as a solution to apocalypse scenarios. Long-long term it would help, but yea, it isn't the optimal solution to solve current problems we are facing now. Still want to colonize it, but just

I agree it is far more strict, but I am glad it exists. I do throw the MIT license on most of my projects, so its rare that I license things with GPL. But at the end of the day, having the BSD and MIT license and the GPL licenses gives us a

The modulation, AM vs FM isn't necessarily the big determine factor on distance. AM can general travel farther on less power, but its more about the frequency choice. FM radio stations usually operate in the VHF/UHF band, which re

Good question. Thinking about it, I would choose '@'. So only when I read something like: fn print_one<'a>(x: &'a i32) using @ fn print_one<@a>(x: &@a i32) I can would see it as I sort of semantically

For me, its the lifetime syntax I don't like the most. It doesn't feel "ergonomic" to type something like <`a>. Its mostly the ` I wish were different.

The slow compile times I look at as a trade off. Rust does a lot more during it's compile phase than most other compilers and there is a cost. Do I do all this static analysis and eat time here to hopefully reduce runtime bugs and subs

I would say it depends. Technology has actually pushed this quiet a bit. A small tech company whose tech you rely on today could make a decision that is catastrophic to you as much as the government. Think of like a password manager, a tech

I do agree with your point on Walmart, what is on the shelves at a physical location. However, Walmart's online store is just as bad, if not worst, than Amazon.

Its the people at the very top of the corporate ladder who makes the calls to offshore. Always good to keep in mind when these same companies bitch and moan about China but are also the same ones who chose to offshore to China. China is, fr

I think the reason for the big push is to get people to switch over. At this point, they are still supporting some Intel macs and needing to try to keep some parity with previous macs is probably just a cost sink now with how their future t

I agree with your sentiment for the most part. I would love to see someone take RISC-V or Power seriously to compete in the consumer space with an ISA. However, I don't think Power is quiet cheap enough and Risc-V just isn't there

I don't know about crowd source, but one of my favorite solutions come from the ElementaryOS team. Their software store allows you to pay for what your downloading and I think that goes directly to the project? So its like opening the

Thats my understanding of non-competes. It is really for the company to win in a court case. Its a threat to scare people in complying because most people don't have the war chest to fight it out. For most people, you can fight it, but

I can see that being an issue, I guess it depends on how the question is asked. My current job, I was asked a variation of this question, it was, "What do you do outside of work other than coding?" Followed up with a, "we are

Usually the President does propose a budget. I believe the proposal is more of a "suggestion" from the President that congress can take into consideration when doing the actual budgeting bills. So the person you responded to is co

It definitely is nuanced and everyone has their limits, which may depend on their personal circumstance. The solution for companies it to find a solution. An easy enough solution at a price point most people find reasonable. There are some

There are some tricks with OpenBSD. First, with blueooth, if I recall, OpenBSD devs are not a huge fan of bluetooth. OpenBSD takes a security above all else approach I believe this plays a bit of a role since bluetooth is often poorly imple

Wouldn't any kind of measurement have to rely on a heuristic? We would need a baseline as to how often a branch prediction is accurate. If the branch prediction is always wrong, we can assume the speed would be the same. If the branch
