This seems like good feedback but it could really be phrased more constructively. I doubt the author “hates” any such thing and you know it too. “Didn’t design with such in mind”, sure. You can do better.

Is that for the cable or FTTP deployment on the island itself? Seems like they could at least get much better mobile internet rates using the subsea cable instead of satellite for backhaul. I had a very difficult time trying to figure out

I didn't learn how to tie my shoes correctly until I read this website in my 20s. As a child, I was constantly harangued about keeping my shoes tied, but none of the adults doing the haranguing ever stopped to teach me the difference

What’s the alternative to Unity? They have a huge market share and mind share among game developers. Some might be driven away but others will stay and show lots of ads. If this does eventually drive someone else to create something that

Oslo seems to be well within lynx territory, whom I am sure would be glad to snack on a housecat. Norway also has wolverines and in a few areas, wolves and bears.

There were, eg in Outlook: https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-20... There probably still are and it’s possibly some three letter agencies or bad actors know about them.

This essay is unreadable. Such incredibly torturous phrasing. I hope DeLillo’s works hang together better.

I have seen an article about how home heating uses significantly more energy than cooling, though heat pumps should help that some. There is also a lot of money and rhetoric going into insulation and air sealing to make home heating more e

Well yes? Heartbleed? The majority of significant security bugs are memory corruption and data races, both of which safe Rust prevents by design.

OK, so they're treated in a special way that's completely irrelevant to the concerns one might have when using multidimensional arrays. It's just an implementation detail with no practical considerations.

Does that bytecode do anything more efficient than allocating arrays inside of arrays inside of arrays etc? Does it ensure they’re contiguous? Does a multidimensional array allocated in this way still require pointer chasing to get to the

You mean I can also choose $120/year? No comment on whether either is reasonable but responding to “it costs too much” with a more expensive option is an interesting choice.
