Reverse engineering the problem from someone's solution is the job. If you find it to be frustrating, you might be in the wrong profession.

Technically a large landmass, but essentially nothing happens in the western half. For the sake of travel it is a relatively small country. Whereas NY->LA is the route the USA would need to most service if it were to get serious about su

Not really. Over short-to-medium distances rail and air have similar door-to-door times, but as a country grows vast and travel is much more likely to happen over long distances then rail is much less compelling. Which means smaller ridersh

Trouble is, when you need to get to the middle of nowhere is when you need transportation. If you stay within the densely populated areas where the people live you can walk. That's why people stopped living in rural areas after all; so

To hire 10 engineers you only need millions in yearly revenue. And millions in revenue does not imply that the business is worth millions. It very well, quite easily, could be worthless.

Right, Rust tells us something important: How the data was packed pre-optimization. This is useful information as, at least those with some familiarity with Rust, will have an understanding of what is being replaced. You wouldn't be ab

The problem is that there isn't anything misleading about the title. It is well understood that creative packing of data can provide optimizations under certain circumstances. Nobody should have reason to think otherwise. The title qui

'Enum' is ill-defined so the addition of Rust is significant as it indicates what one can expect with how data is structured. There is nothing in that speaks to the Rust compiler or Rust being inefficient or anything of the sort.

What is misleading about the title? A custom encoding scheme is exactly what it suggests. Maybe it has been edited since your comment was posted?

That has the effect of producing more milk, so the concentration in the milk remains the same. It makes no difference to the milk. It does affect the wellbeing of the cow, though, which is why it is against the law to give it to them.

by win311fwg 21d ago
Not to the extent that you consider your milk good. Cows cannot produce milk without the hormone. That is the reason why a recombinant version works. What loophole would you close, exactly?

I recall that event. It wasn’t the error that was the problem, it was that the units weren’t able to get fixes amid the solar storm, rendering the machines inoperable; save driving by hand, of course, but that isn’t practical with many mode

The real world version is even funner because it's not about receiving cheap stuff, rather the complaint is about receiving free stuff (trade deficit).

"Should" cannot be evaluated in a vacuum. The only thing that would be off-topic is pretending that it can be.

The existence of 1.1.1.1 speaks to a much larger design problem. If you want to talk about what should have been done, you need to step much, much further back.

by win311fwg 1mo ago
The elephant in the room is that the government is legally required to buy back the quota if change were to happen, and that is an estimated $50 billion dollar bill. Which actually doesn't sound so bad compared to your $10 billion per

The trade deficit is what allows the US market to be a good market. If the US was closer to trade neutral or with a surplus it would be consuming considerably less and thus wouldn't be good anymore. Tough situation for other countries

Which is why Canadians wanting a protected monopoly is especially interesting. Usually when something is considered important we want everyone to have access to it, not only the handful of elites who get legal control over it all. I suppose

The trouble is that the US realized long ago that they could get free stuff by giving out imaginary paper (aka trade deficit) ad infinitum and, in turn, stopped doing much. China, on the other hand, doubled down on trying to do everything a
