Having a dollar budget would make the imbalance worse unless ideally they don't get away with moral hazard. The issue is usually having managers taking all the benefits and none of…

In my opinion yes, ECC should be standard. ECC is expensive just because Intel had a monopoly over the server segment, and unilaterally forced desktop not to use ECC. Otherwise peo…

It depends on your workload. Some industries require to be able to reproduce exact bit by bit data. Anything that requires absolute bit certainty, for example digital signatures, e…

Is the insulin cheaper now? No.

Government regulations. It's as easy as allowing to import it from cross the border from Mexico and Canada.

Either die for sure from lack of insulin, or have a chance of not dying by crossing the border. The math checks out

Dunning Kruger Effect, one more time.

Yes, They probably run some cash numbers internally and realized that forcing everyone to pay would be the only plausible way to make money

Thanks, never wrote Rust so I'm just guessing. What else there is, besides static type checks? Is there a runtime side too?

Rust just took C++ std::unique and std::shared ptr and made those integrated directly in the language, and the only option for allocation. Which is awesome. It would be nice to see…
