Neither of the first two are options... at all realistically, nither uranium nor thorium exist in anything below a large planetary size body in any quantity: https://www.quora.com/Do-uranium-and-thorium-exist-in-signif...

And shipping up unrefined ore is also a bit of a ludicrous idea for mass reasons and the rocket equation alone. You do realize you can isolate a nuclear reactor core from explosions on rockets right? What catastrophic failures are you attempting to design your solution of avoiding a nuclear reactor around?

Its being downvoted because its childish simplistic view of things. I grew up in Grant county, literally west of Sioux county. There are a lot of reasons for the high suicide rate in Sioux county, historical facts like Custer aside, unless you've lived in this part of the country, you really have no idea what its like there. Did westerners do a number on the Nakota/Dakota/Lakota/Sioux/Mandan/etc..? Duh, but thats not really why kids are killing themselves today. Hell even in the surrounding counties suicide is pretty common for the same reasons as in the reservation. There is no opportunity, and depression is pretty common.

Side note, I have family in Sioux county as well. I'll be blunt and say, if you've only grew up on the coasts, kindly butt the fuck out of why the suicide is high. I could name 10 people in and out of Sioux county I know that ate a bullet, if all you're going to do is use this for internet points piss off.

Remember that Sherriffs are elected, they can have zero training related to the job. That alone can explain a lot of this. You might be surprised at recent efforts to politicize them as well.

I have a hard time believing it was. iTunes search is wicked bad and has been since day 1. After they started allowing tags for apps it got worse, which is an impressive achievement.

Its pretty obvious you've not read up on the facts of the case and have jumped to a few conclusions. Nobody contests that hot coffee causes mild burns, hot coffee that causes third degree burns in seconds is another matter entirely.

Have a read and then come back here and lets hear you argue that the lawsuit wasn't warranted.

Looking like a no so far: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/187315...

Based on what?

https://education.seattlepi.com/rates-deforestation-reforest...

The US is more forested than it has been in the past.

Would adding lard be an acceptable fat to throw in?

I grew up on a farm, my grandma and my family in general never stopped using fats in recipes. I use it for making cornbread alllllll the time.

Quote from my late grandma: "Its almost impossible to use too much fat when cooking"

I've since learned how to use duck fat as well in French cuisine. It dramatically reduces how much sugar you need to use in recipes.

And have you ever made home made ice cream? Its waaaaaay better than the ice cream you buy in stores. Then again, we made it from fresh cow milk we milked that morning, my god do i miss that. The ice cream, the cows can go suck eggs. :)

> Yes, but that’s a separate question from how often you really need to buy an entirely new one, which is usually a very optional expense. Repairing will generally be much cheaper.

I grew up on a farm, you're presuming a lot. Guess what goes into a new heavy duty pickup truck purchase?

Well lets look at the new fuel efficiency, project out 10+ years to figure out how much fuel that will save, figure out how much gas will cost in the next 10 years (fudge it mostly).

And the work that these things do tends to be hard on everything. There is a need for new pickup trucks, and its not because you want it, its because it will save money. Repairing' isn't cheaper when you have heavy use.

Our trucks lasted maybe 200 000 miles of wear and tear. At the end, they were getting to pretty expensive options, like replace the engine entirely or rebuild, both about the same cost. Oh and the frame was starting to rust, or crack etc...

Your day to day car usage in the city does not give you much insight into how heavy duty pickup trucks get used on farms and ranches.

This is pretty close to the poor problem of having to buy $20 dollar boots every year because you can't affort a $100 dollar pair that will last 10 years. If you get behind on replacing things, you end up paying more.

Try on arm! You'll wish you hadn't! >.<

I think I spent 3-4 days compiling rust, almost forgot I started it at the time.

I know people that work at SuSE, in a nutshell, they are like Redhat in that they don't really provide linux only, they provide ways of integrating it into your business.

That is where Debian just isn't going to compete. And that is why SuSE exists, they're selling much more than linux.

> There’s nothing intrinsic to rust that makes it better suited for “foundational components” over anywhere else in the stack.

Actually, there is, not having a GC means you can better reason about stack/heap memory usage. That matters for performance critical and things like embedded systems where you might not even use malloc() in c.

No, all you need is to observe things. Be it a simple detector or conscious observer, you've extracted information from the environment. The observation implies existence, what observed it is inconsequential.

Not to exceed it. Aka your limit is 500ppm, passing the limit means you did not exceed the limit.

People think i'm weird for never hooking my smart tv up to the network. It works, why does it need to be online?

Cars aren't going to get you across the atlantic. And planes tend to be more efficient overall than cars in long hauls efficiency wise, both in people carried, and overall efficiency/emissions. Those turbofans are much more efficient at approaching the carnot limit than your small car engine is. Scale matters.

> Btw, are there actually companies that use Apple desktop/laptops?

Yes? Lots of them use apple laptops. More than windows from my experience.

> The problem with recaptcha alternatives is that they either are insecure or require time and money to continue to be ahead of bots.

Sure great, but when I see behavior like the above, I just hit back and add the site to my routers firewall black list. If its this much of a PITA to "solve" a captcha, CORRECTLY but I keep getting the middle finger I don't give a crap anymore. Your site isn't worth going to if I have to spend literally minutes "solving" captchas for googles stupid ai which is treating me like prove i'm a bot even when I prove i'm not.

Just realize by using recaptcha this is what you're forcing some users to deal with. And I deal with it by making sure I never come back to your site ever again when you've wasted minutes of my time just to try to get to your page. Even if its googles fault for being jerks, I don't care. You choose to implement it.

Ok rant mode off and stepping off my personal soap box.

> If you can't care for your child, you shouldn't have one. The natural order is that children from unfit parents die. There are too many humans on this planet as it is.

So... wow, thats one hell of a logic leap. Ignoring how close this is to progressive attitudes in the early 20th century, what about "happy accidents". This is a rather to be blunt disgusting attitude to our fellow humans.

> If you're impoverished in your thirties, it is probably the result of a long history of poor life choices. You can get dealt a horrible hand with lots of tragedy and disadvantages and still be able to make it on your own in your thirties, as long as you're moderately intelligent and hardworking.

I get the distinct impression you have no clue what you're talking about and have never worked paycheck to paycheck in your life. One bill can cascade into exactly what your saying is "a long history of poor life choices".

The attitudes such as this are exactly why populist messages are winning a lot of disaffected people. If you're telling them: improve or die, or just die if you're not useful to companies, is it any wonder they're rejecting the worldview wholesale?

I hate politics but the attitudes espoused in the parent post do nothing but blame people for the lives they tend to have been born with irrespective of ability or life choices. As someone that barely escaped things only by dumb luck at picking computer nonsense as a profession, the lack of empathy and understanding by people that have never seen what life is like in survival mode is both astounding and saddening.

Its not like facebook applications haven't had insane amounts of duplicated resources and crazy amounts of gigantic libraries/frameworks: https://blog.timac.org/2017/0410-analysis-of-the-facebook-ap...

Not sure if its relevant for messenger or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if messenger was overly huge for the task its performing.

> It looks like the Twin Cities (MSP) have a large amount of flooding given how backed up the work crews and insurance adjusters are.

I'm from ND originally and remember that flood, and yeah, it floods here in the cities a lot. This was more due to the super: zomg cold+snow, to... zomg its 40F and the entire streets a river cause nobody cleans out the drains in the fall prior to winter so that thaws are ok.

I'll just say in St Paul, rapid thaws means almost everyones basements flood. Even on the hills, its insane how easily it happens.

There is also cargo vendor to download the dependencies locally. I’m using just that at work to ensure builds without network access work.

Rust is no worse here than say Haskell with cabal or stack or Swift with whatever they were using I forgot or go for that matter.

You can't know everything at compile time. Runtime checks are witnesses that run at program execution instead of compile time.

The Dollop did a fun episode on this: http://thedollop.libsyn.com/332-the-divorce-colony-live-at-s...

As a North Dakotan, it gave me lots of fun things to prod my Southern cousins with.

I voted you down, your comment seems to think that the engineers couldn't possibly have a reason for custom screws.

Without knowing the requirements, you'll never know if they had a good reason for custom screws. As such this comment is not constructive at best, and just standard "apple is bad cause no standards" drivel at worst.

Its really not anything more than that silly yoda quote "do or do not there is no try".

Motivation/willpower is a very weak way to get things done, approach it instead with "I'll just write one line of code today/work on it for 15 minutes straight/document one thing/design one function". You'll likely find that once you start, you'll do more than you planned, the crux is almost always the start. You look at the entire body of work and think "its too much to do in one sitting", but ultimately thats your reptile brain talking you out of expending energy needlessly. So just use that little mind hack to get you out of your cognitive dissonance and started.

And if the prior posters statement gets you into an existential crisis, I'd start reading up on the stoics, buddhists, etc... Yes even if you're an atheist/whatever, accepting ones fate in the universe has no meaning is ultimately relieving. Or as a Shinto priest once told me: Life is a dance, dance to the music while it plays, you may not get another chance to dance!

Well its no different amount of difference you'd have for libssl then obviously. With a binary diff algorithm if libssl.a doesn't change then its just your changes. If you update just libssl, then its the diff of those bits. If both its both, I can't speak to how much that is as I've never done it. Test it and look at the sizes of the diffs. You'd be updating ssl somewhere, be it package manager or not.

No argument there, I definitely agree, however its easily my favorite package manager. And lets me keep nixos config similarly.

I just use nix on OS X, better package manager than most linux distros have. I have my own copies of py2/3 and the system one, not a huge deal to be honest (outside of the pain of linux side nixos updates breaking derivations for macOS, but thats generally not a fault of the os).

How would static libssl affect say a binary diff versus dynamic?

Should be in the noise floor for decent binary diff algorithms. I seem to recall chrome uses that to essentially patch things in place. I'd have to look but I highly doubt for say elf binaries that a binary diff patch would be more than dynamic. Ignoring updating the static library portion itself that is.
