There’s a really fun discussion of news commentators on the lines of “Nobody is stupider than Trump, Vance will just be better at being evil” and “Nobody is stupider than Vance, Trump is the one keeping everything in place”.

Reality is probably too weird to predict anyway.

Just let C++ die already, and stop pretending it’s a reasonable thing to compare other languages with.

If you can’t do it in C, you are better in Java, Python, Haskell, whatever.

The length of variable and function names should be proportional to the size of the code that can potentially call them. And preferably segmented in namespaces, explicit modules, or something like that.

I belong to all of them. Same question.

Or at least say what’s broke…

The worse people are the ones that generate most of the interactions, so every side is biased.

Yes, we have an anti-birth set of memes going around.

But people sharing your memes doesn’t mean they are smarter.

Idiots tend to have idiot kids because they raised them in idiot households

Random people are usually way smarter than people give them credit. Idiots are an exception, though I have no idea how hey are distributed.

and idiots tend to have more kids

That’s completely unfundamented idea that was created to support some racist movements. One would think that movie made a clear enough point to convince anybody this is bullshit…

It’s a completely absurdist theme. The people insisting it reflects reality in any way are the ones that bother me.

Still, it’s a simple movie with simple jokes. The kind of thing maybe worth watching once, and not worth thinking about.

You save the server bandwidth bills and have all the people currently downloading help you get it instead of competing with you. Also, most torrent clients are way more competent and featurefull for handling downloads than most browsers.

Usually, it doesn’t make a lot of difference.

The cat doesn’t care anything near enough to try to gaslight you.

Temperature, speed, flow rate, cooling.

In other words, close to anything. Follow a calibration guide. Also keep in mind that some filaments just don’t make good overhangs.

Hum… The bottom one will say anything except “touk”?

Good transportation does, though.

No wage is high enough if everybody competes for the same few homes.

And you can only increase the number of homes with good transportation.

It’s supposed to be stocks trading, not an AWS bill.

A 40 years old fridge can easily average 200W more than a new one. Depends on the details of how well it’s conserved and how good it was to begin with. That would be some $15 a month more.

You always have to evaluate those things.

Oh, heavyweight Wasm is one of those things better written in Rust.

Intrinsically, one would expect there to be better options. But Wasm is difficult enough that people have been unable to port most tools. That will probably change at some point, but I would not stop anything to wait for that.

What I would save in electric cost does not make buying a new one worth it.

I’d look very carefully at those numbers.

That’s ignoring all the problems created by those fridges failing at random.

Still, the GP’s ratio is wild. There’s no way a fridge that lasts a lifetime costs 30x more to make. It’s all monopoly practices.

All the other options are worse.

But, hummm… Some people do use Rust for software where other languages are a better fit. But usually not in public. You see a lot of libraries helping people to use Rust in GUIs or web applications, but all the Rust rewrites people talk about are for stuff better done in Rust.
