I thought you are going to mention that she’s receiving an enormous amount of money from the government, even though she’s Republican.

I can forgive someone for now knowing who specifically enacted some bill or something, but being simultaneously against supporting people with government handouts while relying on $400K from the government to survive? Wtf.

Maybe i should start saying I make $90 billion a year as a tax optimization

That’s been debunked - we get so few minerals from water for our diet that it’s almost nothing anyway. Almost everything is from solid foods or non-water liquids.

Curious if anyone can weigh in on this - is there much benefit to having fluorinated drinking water if you brush twice a day with fluorinated toothpaste and rinse with flourinated mouthwash?

I distill all my drinking water, but it’s to remove PFAS and all the other garbage we’ve polluted the earth with. Not because of flouride.

If I punch you in the face, say you’re a stupid bitch, then tell you I didn’t mean it, wouldn’t that be enough?

A Nazi salute is a Nazi salute. It isn’t something you can accidentally do.

Scientists should consult tech people about stuff like this just like we should consult scientists for science stuff. Unfortunately a lot of tech people also aren’t conscious of this stuff either.

I’d say Rust is definitely mainstream. Obviously not the level of JS or Python, but it’s being used all over the place. All FAANG companies, the Linux kernel, JS runtimes, web browsers, Android, Signal, Mullvad…

IMO GC has nothing to do with high or low level. It’s just incidental that there’s a correlation. In GC you usually don’t need to think about manually allocating or deallocating memory or truly understand what pointers are (in some ways anyway). In C / C++ you do.

In Rust you almost never manually allocate or deallocate, and you have both very high and low level APIs.

I’d say Rust is both high and low level. It just depends what you use it for. If you want to build a CLI or a web server, it’s great for that. If you want to do kernel stuff and choose to flip bits around you can do that too.

As for books, maybe you’d like trying Rustlings instead.

1. Rust is the best language for writing WASM in, so you can write Rust and run it in the browser without transpiling to JS.
2. Rust isn’t just about speed or GC pauses. Its type system is amazing and allows you to encode things that you cannot in any other mainstream language.
3. It’s so incredibly well designed, it fewla like that clip from Ricky and Morty where Morty feels what standing on a truly even plane feels like then has a panic attack when he leaves. Rust rethought everything from scratch, and isn’t just some new syntax or fancy compiler tricks. No null, no exceptions, no inheritance, new typing capabilities, etc.

Go made some pretty poor design choices, and now even Google is choosing Rust for a lot of stuff instead.

Not sure, I’ve been looking at Graphene myself but haven’t used it. Just passing on what I’ve seen.

Custom ROMs are all different. Some suck, some don’t. I’ve heard very good things about Graphene. You can even install it from the web in a couple clicks.

Google Pixel + GrapheneOS

Also, if you think Apple’s completely closed source software is more trustworthy than Google’s mostly open source software… LOL

Because they, a company that markets itself as free thinking, are supporting a platform run by a Nazi.

Can the judge get the military out now?

It isn’t. It was done by all the Americans who voted for him as well as all the Americans who chose not to vote at all.

Both paper and plastic straws contain PFAS, which is unbelievably harmful to your health and the environment. The good alternative is to get a metal straw.

IMO we need to ban plastic from anything that can be easily replaced without plastic. Even though it may be a rounding error, it’s something that should be simple to say no to and to correct.

I don’t think there’s a standard. Some are, some aren’t.

I’ve read that paper straws are lined with plastic, specifically PFAS, since paper will naturally fall apart in water. A thin lining if plastic is technically less plastic, but if it’s PFAS then IMO it’s just worse than a 100℅ plastic straw.

We should do this in America, too, and for all sports.
