> That seems to assume that it's physically impossible to make cost effective, widely popular nuclear power plant that can be built quickly. That is the experience so far. As well as waste th…

Until there is a nuclear process that does not produce waste (both spent fuel and the reactor components) that must be stored for tens of thousands of years it is irresponsible to build them. AFAICT G…

Yes. Young men emulate high status older men, that is what I have seen.

The first year was year 1, not 0. So the new decade begins next year in 2021

And your problem is???

Yes. That would be what I meant. I'm hazy on the details thanks for the extra information

RMS is a difficult person. Anybody who has had anything to do with him knows that. But he is also (relatively) a old person. He comes from a era when to get heard you had to shout. His generation t…

Meh. The hippies were right. Eat food your grandmother would recognise. Eat it as unprocessed as practical. Eat a lot of it raw. But I bet where people have no choice (in prison, public hospitals, sch…

No I do not!

Also, there isn't a single cryptocurrency today that can't be tracked, even ones like Monero. Really?

Do you really think that "nuclear can... be profitable" if the operators have to pay insurance premiums against the possibility of catastrophic failure? What about paying to store the (albei…

AFAICT This is a "GO is great" article not "GO Vs. Rust" article as the title suggests. It is OK to love and propmote a language. GO is terrific and we have been waiting for it fo…

A two word solution: Socialised medicine. The civilised world does it, about time the USA caught up. Socialised medicine is not perfect, but the USA spends the most for the worst results. How America…

Cast away const. One of the many reasons I gave up on C++. What is const if it can be cast away?

Optimist

This is ignoring the Elephant in the room: The AI is not good enough often enough for general purpose AVs. In restricted settings it will be great (container terminals, warehouses...) but from every t…

You have completely missed the point. The US$5/month is not a hardship. What is a hardship is taking what used to be done in 40k Perl and require 2G. It is a affront! What is a waste is writin…

I am paying US$5 a month for python's memory hogging. Running Mailman it will not run in 1GB of ram (the US$5 VPS) so I had to give it 2GB. 2GB? For a mail list server? Had the same problem runn…

Privacy Badger will know it is there

Not really. The problem is unauthorised access by users with sufficient privileges to do what ever they want. That would include turning off audit logs. Do you think that when Google serves your da…

Ok. Point taken. The Ruin of Britain - The Next Chapter

I thought this would be about Brexit. The Ruin of Britain 2.0

"due to the neurotoxic side effects" Have you a reference for a study on that toxicity?

Borland C++ windows toolkit back in the early nineties would do that sort of thing, if memory serves. Really deeply convoluted OO.

> And be real: there isn't, it's just syntax churn No. I have programmed in C, C++ and Rust. Rust is much different, and it is not "just syntax ..."

Yuk. What a horrid pair of comments!
