CFCs are bad because they make the government get cancer. CO2 is fine because it'll make your grandchildren die in a heatwave or drown in a flood, that won't happen in the next few election cycles.
The joke in the refrigeration industry is that "it's not bad for the environment until DuPont's patent expires".
Now obviously they were bad for the environment all along, but I don't think it's a coincidence that nothing was done about CFCs until the 3rd world got good at making them cheap.
The joke is getting a little out of date though since the new stuff is hydrocarbons and CO2 (and you can't patent those).
Phew, you made me so afraid of EU propaganda that I almost forgot about the propaganda from major energy companies (with a combined worth of trillions of dollars).
When your comments is worse than the official BP position on climate change, you know you're on the wrong side of history.
Confirms Rust is about where I thought it was. In a strange niche where you don’t need 100% the performance of C, but the 90% you get from a managed language isn’t enough. And you can’t run on the GPU.
Now every service will be spamming you notifications and emails even more desperately to bait you into "using" the service so they can bill you. More clickbait and scare tactics on news subscriptions. Also goodbye monthly subscriptions.
It only works for Kagi because they're pretty decent folk.
My main gripe with web components is that while they expose the first half of the tree traversal (from the outside in, via connectedCallback), they don't provide access to the second half, after child elements have been created. (akin to Initialize and Load events from ye olde .NET)
Amazon does not have this information, nor would a competitive seller wish to provider it. Who my suppliers are and what they charge? So what, Amazon can better decide whether to enter my market?
Web sockets are only used for WebRTC connection establishment. The code that creates the RTCPeerConnection is part of the Emscripten-generated JavaScript bundle. I'm using a library called HumbleNet to emulate Berkeley sockets over WebRTC.
You can tell the authors realized this was a bad idea when they had to add the 'OVER' keyword, which isn't documented and hardly mentioned in the paper.
I disagree that the paper not mentioning ‘OVER’ implies that the paper authors secretly think pipe syntax is a bad idea. They probably just wanted to keep the paper concise, or forgot about that one less-used bit of syntax.
Do you think that ‘OVER’ keyword implies something fundamentally wrong about pipe syntax? If so, how?
