The Department of Transportation is doubling down on its campaign against “DEI bike lanes,” as Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy called them in a social media post earlier this month.
JFC. I mean, I shouldn’t be surprised, but somehow I still am.
One local Thai shop had the sense to offer both “$nationality spicy” and “thai spicy”
OCaml should transfer pretty well to Rust. Rust can feel like an ML dressed up in C’s braces.
Similarly, if you can write in Haskell without having to reach for IO, then you can probably satisfy Rust’s borrow checker with no more effort.
I find the C type syntax turgid. It’s fine for the most basic types, but the name-in-the-middle style doesn’t scale at all, and it’s not hard to understand why later languages separate name and type, no matter which side of the name the type goes on.
I find Rust easier to read in that regard, even though picking <> for generics was likely done to be familiar for C++/Java types rather than easy to parse. (See also: the bastion of the turbofish)
Isn’t rather “meme” the refinement from “gene” (seeing as it was chosen to rhyme with gene)
I guess one inherent weakness in slowly turning the US into not only an oligarchy, but a science-averse gerontocracy is that over the coming decade there’s gonna be a lot of familiar names croaking.
I guess if their power isn’t out from storms it’s good
(more seriously battery plus heat pump plus solar sounds good)
The most FIGHT ME shirt I’ve ever seen
oh shit I forgot they’re merkins, it’s a SHOOT ME shirt
maybe still fun to wear at a safe distance from the US
Yeah, my mom grows carrots in a variety of colours, not just the new orange one that’s become so common. Also grows blue potatoes, purple beans and whatnot, because she has more fun with more colourful food.
Dark heirloom tomatoes are pretty neat too.
Straws aren’t a climate thing, they’re a trash and ocean pollution thing, same as with Q-tips and bottle cap tethers.
Who doesn’t? Majority lactose intolerant nations?
That’s how geothermal heat pumps work. It is possible to have geothermal heat pumps that only extract heat, but then you need much deeper wells.
Last place I lived replaced our oil furnaces with geothermal heat pumps back when oil furnaces were banned back in 2020, but the in-apartment bit was old radiators, which aren’t suitable for absorbing heat, so we had to get some energy wells that were a few hundred meters deep.
… and still swelter in summer :|
There are semireflective films you can install on the outside of the window to keep more of the energy out. Just needs some mild soap water and a simple flat tool to install. You can get them in different strengths, i.e. you probably want the mildest option for windows you want to look out of, but max strength for your bedroom (which you want to be dark anyway).
“traditional”
I feel like “common” would be a better choice there, given just how recent and modern those suburbs actually are, compared to older streetcar suburbs.
Can also second the Crystal Project!
Afaik it’s not released yet, just announced. Drops in October I think. It’s also a reimagining of Brave Exvius, for those who missed it or never played it.
Elliott is allegedly a Zelda-like, which sounds interesting to me, even the Navi is apparently even worse there.
Can also recommend Ara Fell and Rise of the Third Power for a retro jrpg itch.
EV owners were derided for driving “slowly” (within the speed limit!) to save power and not have worries about charging, so we do know that car owners will actually do stuff like that once they’re actually concerned. Fossil fuels still seem to be cheap enough that people don’t, though.
There are things that can be done to curb demand without cutting travel itself, like lowering speed limits for fossil cars.
But the right wing political machine runs on the opinion that stuff like that is all left-wing, and that right-wing means unlimited cheap gasoline.
“Reality has a well-known liberal bias” and all that
That really doesn’t seem to be the case for a lot of folks
I believe the expression is
