Alright, I’ll actually dive into the research again…

Oh, I see, D is garbage collected, so really it’s more like Java or Python. Maybe that’s what I’m remembering. Also, @safe code sounds like it’s pretty limited - far more limited than non-unsafe Rust.

Basically, if a language had been Rust before Rust showed up, Rust would have been a non-event. They solved a problem that was legitimately open at the time.

Also yes.

Tesla gives the vibe they cut all the corners, and then smooth it over with aggressive marketing.

Hmm. I wonder if the internet’s benefits to literacy are starting to dissipate too, as video-based services become really popular.

I feel like this has come up before, and D is not memory safe. It has some helper-type features, but at the end of the day it is still C-like.

TJA suggests a TLM.

I mean, you could just use a vaguely smarter filter. A tiny "L"LM might have different problems, but not this one.

Cooling by radiation is slower than convection or conduction, but it still happens. The James Webb went from room temperature to deep cryogenic in a few months, and it’s big. As for moisture, things cook off into a vacuum very easily. That’s the foundational to the whole concept of freeze drying, actually.

Freeze dried wood is absolutely commercially available, if pricey. I have no idea if anyone has used it for musical purposes either. There’s a lot of audiophile-ish magical thinking in that space so it’s possible nobody has bothered.

Edit: Although, since this is a research project, maybe not freeze drying it first was the point.

This is bad. Reminder that there’s just ~2000 of them known, though, so it only takes 8 seconds for everyone else to pass their annual emissions collectively.

It’s not an excuse to not care about your own impact.

Yeah, Rust is simply the big one right now. It could just as easily apply to people in the 1960’s who didn’t want to adopt structured programming, or a compiler at all.

Please tell me you just code golf or similar, and aren’t making things for people to actually use and maintain.

I’m guessing they freeze-dried it already, so not that much.

If they didn’t, it will freeze-dry itself. I have no clue what that would do to the dimensions, since it’s not going to be a controlled process like it would be on Earth,

Huh, you must have replied somewhat late to this - I’m sure I checked back here for any replies before I returned to my main instance for good.

Actually, yes. If you sent it to me, that would be sexual harassment (just like if you sent me an unsolicited text description of what you want to do to me), but I don’t care what you do in private.

It’s making an image of someone that portrays them in an unrealistic and offensive context.

Yeah, but only one of degree.

Iran isn’t directly mentioned. Vague terms like “the North” appear, and historically many American evangelicals have identified the USSR with it, because that was the geopolitical bogeyman of the day. I’ve had older evangelicals insist to me that Russia borders Israel as a result.

Iran’s more plausible than Russia, but if we pretend for a moment it’s not all some desert guy’s mushroom trip it could just as easily be Turkey.

Republican Spain and the “Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria” AKA Rojava.

Republican Spain had some communist factions too, but Rojava is explicitly built around a specific strain of anarchism, and is an “administration” instead of a government. I doubt it looks very anarchist in practice, but that’s neither here nor there, and they’re democratic enough the US has endorsed them in the past to Turkey’s great displeasure.

Off the top of my head, 2. One with no UN seat and one long gone, to be fair, but they still exist and are/were sovereign. You can’t say either turned into totalitarianism.

Maybe you could say they would have or will, but that’s just your guess. I could say the same thing about liberal democracy and be equally as well supported.

No. That is not an a known issue with anarchism, for example.

Mandatory “there’s more than one version”. You might think anarchism is also bullshit but it’s not North Korea.
