Carpet shelling or carpet bombing with kilotons of TNT beg to differ.

> So while you may see videos of drones taking out tanks, they are often tanks that have already been killed and drones come in on an immobile target, etc. Those tanks are immobili…

If Ukraine will win war with Russia, it will mean that Ukraine will take their place as mightiest country in the world. EU will be a good buffer for us.

Global warming can be stopped by nuclear winter only.

Supersonic missiles are very vulnerable to a debris in the sky. Instead of catching of a missile, a drone can be blown up in advance on predicted trajectory of the supersonic missi…

Exactly. "Foo" is democratic when democratic or non-democratic country does it in a democratic way.

> In Italy the current defence minister is personally earning considerable amount of money by sending weapons to Ukraine, because he's also an owner and manager of companies that m…

When Tesla's will have built-in StarLink?

When single bug may cost millions of dollars, then Rust is cheaper and faster than Go. Google manager is not a liar.

It's possible to write unsafe and slow code in Rust.

Many games are written in Rust already, but they are not AAA games. Example: https://bfnightly.bracketproductions.com/chapter_0.html

Unsafe Rust is not harder or safer than C/C++. If you can uphold all safety invariants for C/C++ code (OMG!), then it will be easier to do same thing for unsafe Rust, because Rust …

I.e. don't throw bad apples into bin, because they will rot deeper, but keep them closer to healthy apples with hope that healthy apples will heal bad ones. Nice idea, I like it to…

You can use unsafe code and pointers if you really want, but code will be unsafe, like C or C++.

Meta.ai requires "login with FB" for me. :-/

Exercising in hot weather requires drinking electrolyte water to avoid hyponatremia. Drinking large amounts of soft or distilled water (around 6 liters) can lead to death.

How you will calculate hash of file, when it broken, to lookup for?

It's not a legend, it's just chemistry.

Rust-protobuf is much slower than quick-protobuf or prost.

Idiomatic quick-protobuf is much faster than non-idiomatic rust-protobuf: https://github.com/tafia/quick-protobuf/tree/master/perftest

We can safely assume that approximate time needed to produce papers is t_approx = O(n), where n is number of papers. O(t_approx) makes no sense.

It's same as for everything: something is going into lower energy state, while something else going into higher energy state via some energy transfer mechanism. We are 100% sure fo…

Even in this case, there is infinitely small chance that we are sitting so close to the beginning of everything.

Such drones are not practical in the war zone, because this introduces dependency on wires and electricity. In our air space it's no helpful. In enemy air space it's vulnerable to …

Power company can install a mesh or net over lines, to prevent sitting on them, or use another drone to inspect lines and direct a man with a shotgun.
