For quantum complexity theory, the result is significant, as it shows that there is no need to distinguish between algorithms with and without intermediate measurement when comparing complexity.
- As pointed out by GP, `format!` is a macro and only works for literal format strings available at compile time. This allows the compiler to convert the format string to code _at compile time_.
- What you are talking about is a general string template/formatting engine to execute at runtime. Such a feature can easily be provided by external crates, because it would work at runtime and not require any particular interactions with the compiler.

- Offline ensures that you do not suffer an externally caused downtime just before a deadline
- Offline ensures that you have a path for keeping your database throughout your research career, and to do system updates when _you_ want to.
- Offline ensures that if you leave academia, you will always have access to local copies of the academic papers you have referenced.
My favorite offline/local reference manager is `jabRef` [0] which stores all metadata directly in a bibtex-file. The GUI has an excellent pdf-integration, and everything is local and super fast.
Case in point: after a decade in industry, I am looking to get back into my academic fief. All the papers I ever read are in my Dropbox, and all I had to do to pick up where I left was download a current version jabRef and point it to my database which it read without any issues.
You say that storage currently is the weak point. What are your thoughts on the plans to pump into North Sea sand formations via depleted oil wells (e.g. the Norwegian "Longboat"-project [0])?

Background: I have a collection of even older "goodish" headphones which I have kept alive with solder over the years. My teenage son recently started buying similar headphones, and they all have replaceable cables. This was me as well until my Yes, this wasIf you have bought a rea

The point I was trying to make in my second paragraph is that when hydrolyzers get sufficiently cheap that you can buy enough to cover your peak over-production and let them idle when you are missing power, then you have effectively moved the elasticity from the production side to the demand side -- and then slow baseload does not require you to derate down your renewables.
This is far from the situation today where hydrolyzers are so expensive that you need to run them at pretty high utilization to make the economics work out.
On the other hand, your comment presumes that there is such a thing as too much power. Once hydrolyzers mature, we could use all of the current renewable power in Europe just for producing hydrogen for steel production to replace coal there.
The primary reason for using specifics ("dad", <name of child>, <name of sibling>, ...) is that pronouns are one of the last things a child will pick up. Think about how a child will always hear themselves referred to as "you" -- and end up assuming that "you" is like a name form them and start using "you" instead of "I"/"me".
In reality, you will be using both specifics and pronouns, and often repeat the same sentence with both versions to teach that they are identical.
- airPlay integration: stream to your squeeze-clients via airPlay, stream to your airPlay clients from squeezebox.
- chromeCast integration: stream to chromeCast devices from squeezeBox.
- upNp integration: stream to upNp clients.
The system was originally developed by "SqueezeBox" who also made (awesome) physical devices. SqueezeBox was acquired by Logitech many years ago. Logitech put out one or two devices before giving up, but they are actually playing really nice by continuing to support development on the server (see [0]).

The vault is not a new discovery, but since it doesn't exist in yeast or fruit flies it has somehow not gotten a lot of attention...
A runtime like wasmer-python [0] is only 1.5MB.

According to the Economist's summary of the recent IPCC report, the current forcing effect of methane around 30% of that of CO2.
Seems to me that the correct strategy for Dropbox would have been to be super focused on the core product and on not hiring in too many people/taking in too much capital. That would of course have introduced a market cap, but if 1% of everyone had ended up on a reasonably priced personal plan it would have been a roomy cap.
As it was, Dropbox has grown into yet-another ms-office-in-the-sky and there is no way they will make it against their competitors who can burn the cash, and who are slowly catching up on sync technology.
This is really a shame too: Dropbox is just the gold standard for sync. Before Dropbox I was using unison[0] and tried every other sync product, but nothing came close. TBH I am still using Dropbox every day, getting around the device limit by sharing stuff with multiple free accounts...
