But by the time the depositors get their money all of their employees will have left, and some other company will have an N year lead on cornering the AI dog washing market.

Well there's no production class garbage collector in Rust yet, so in RustPython they're just using Rc's I think. That's one place to start. The other will probably be the quality of the JIT.

This idea struck me with the recent article about the Danish girl that was reconstructed with her newborn baby. The baby was resting on a swan's wing, and the girl was buried with 200 reindeer's teeth. All sorts of symbolism and m

In 2014 Kubernetes didn't exist and the alternatives all had downsides. I was in charge of a non trivial deployment then and I also did extensive research and decided to build something bespoke on top of docker. There's a reason G

CoffeeScript did end up winning though, all of its important features ended up in the next Javascript spec. It was a bit sad to transition into the slightly less aesthetic next Javascript release, but it also felt triumphant. To me it feels

No, because Socrates was just a philosopher with no tools to justify his theories. And even is Humes' story is more elegant, it is also just a thought experiment. The blind watchmaker is a reference to an argument that is based in the

If you don't know why we prefer the analogy of the blind watchmaker over the idle chats of some ancient Greeks then maybe it would be good to give the good book another read.

Unless that barrel is a higher value to you than the energy required to create the barrel would otherwise be.

The $1 profit goes towards paying for capturing carbon. Every 150 barrels of captured fuel you sell, you make $75 profit you could spend on either not selling a barrel, or some more efficient way of reducing our climate impact like maybe bu

For it to be truly sustainable the carbon needs to be stored in a way that humans wouldn't get at out of greed ever again. So it would need to be in some useless form like maybe diamonds or something. A ton of CO2 is produced by about

I think that's the sloshing part. Excess liquidity moves from entities that buy real estate, into the hands of those that were selling that real estate. Then the excess liquidity of the entities that sold real estate goes into whatever

Well even if you disregard ideologies, just the legislations that are in place influence what the center of a position could be. For example in my country our right wing government had made good on a right wing promise to increase the maxim

Well yeah of course, it's a direct contradiction of the rising tide lifts all boats principle. Do you think Kubernetes would have any traction at all if it had a clause that it couldn't be used on AWS? If it can't be adopted

It is weird, but it's also a valid use case. I can imagine someone wanting to pull files from a FS that was populated as a regular POSIX filesystem through an S3 api. I'm not sure if you can access the CephFS files from the underl

I really wonder Spolsky didn't just do what Golang did and use the transpiled code as a basis for the continued work. Of course this predates the success of Golang but it's not a very far fetched idea, I bet Jeff Atwood would&#x27

EPS is a filler material for concrete structures and floating installations that easily catch fire and has mediocre thermal properties. Is it even allowed to use EPS on your walls? PIR is the typical economical material used for that kind o

How do you know he's just? And why is it so rightful? Maybe it's my dislike of Aragorn as a character but who cares about who is the king of Gondor. The return of the king is a cute name for the third book, but obviously they coul

Aragorn is also not really the hero of the story, he's just a side character who adds flavour to the story which is really about the hobbits. I don't think side characters need any specific story arc to make them interesting, they

You could but it would be extremely expensive, and not as strong as a steel construction. If you are building a robot that tends to the plants in your greenhouse however, this is a great material to both build the skeleton of the robot, and

Maybe I was too young, I definitely remember the hype, but people around me were just buying the Furby for store prices, I think it was 120 Dutch guilders. I remember the commercials on TV and wanting one, but couldn't justify it to my

Did anyone ever pay more than store prices for a Furby? My mom only bought us expensive toys if they would last and she deemed the Furby to be too much of a gimmick. I've never heard of people not being able to buy a Furby.
