About a third of those fires are criminal [0], yes that's a lot, but the majority are still accidental or natural. Even the criminal ones are only enabled because of the dry vegeta…

Could you duplicate `RECORD_INST` before each `INSTRUCTION_N`, so that: ``` INSTRUCTION_1: // subroutine 1 ip++; goto *dispatch_var[*ip]; INSTRUCTION_2: // subroutine 2 ip++; goto …

Can't you solve it using hash trees (or Merkle trees) ? You tag each computation nodes with a hash of its dependencies and some constant salt, that gives you an ID which identifies…

In the same vein, there is the "tournesol"[0] browser extension, which plugs its own recommandation algorithm into YouTube, to promote educational videos [0]: https://tournesol.app…

An interesting project, but it seems to be in its infancy :) I definitely want an actor based language to play with, and something with a strong type system would be perfect. gleam…

I've nothing to add to the conversation, but I jump on this oportinity to tell you that i like the content you've made with Adam Barth on yt very much, have a great day :)

hyperref does this with the "\ref{}" command, it can link to any defined \label

I thought go binaries were purely static, aren't they ?

It doesn't really make sense to compare a 350T sail boat with a super tanker, a comparable diesel boat produce 36g per ton per km(according to the same report), the "grain de sail …

According to [0], a typical container ship generate 12.5 g of CO2 per ton per km, which means that one trip from France to NY with 350T of cargo would release about 35T of CO2 in t…

I don't really understand how the yearly tonnage per person is relevant here

How is 360$ of fuel more eco-friendly than 0$ ? I don't get your argument

This is their second boat,and they already do exactly that. So far it's been quite successful

Could you elaborate on why this is not a method by which carbon emissions can be significantly reduced ? This is only the second boat of a small company, they most likely don't hav…

Population count is just one of many metrics when evaluating the "niceness" of a place. Maybe "destroyed" is not the best way of describing the effect of car dependency (my english…

Houston comes to mind, it has a very low walkbility index (see https://pedestriansfirst.itdp.org/ ).

This is a valid point, I don't know of any "bus only" highway but it could a good alternative.

a couple of reasons: * cars destroy cities, they take huge chunks of the public space, * air pollution, * noise pollution, * safety, * fast floods favored by impermeable soil cover…

Agreed ! Plus, the ability submit a bunch of tasks, and to block until _one_ task completed (akin to `epoll_wait` of tokio's `select`) makes it quite useful. I don't know of a use …

For a fair comparison, hybrid cars can easily do 50+ MPG. For instance the "toyota yaris hybrid" is supposed to run 62MPG (3.8L/100km).

> Just like `zero | one | two` is not equivalent to `Option ` Isn't it ? both cases represent a type than can express 3 variants

exaclty, whether you call it 'Nothing' or 'null' does not matter, as long as it represents a distinct type than 'true' or 'false'

the type `null | true | false` is different from `true | false`, a type checker can assert that you handle the `null` case before using a function that wants a boolean. This is how…

dataclasses document the full set of attribute they can hold, along with their type.
