The word you're looking for is ... oxymoron.

That is offensive and triggering!

;-)

Its like the election pamphlets with initiatives or referendums. The original arguments for or against are not the most interesting or informative (like the slashdot articles), its the rebuttals to them, and the rebuttals to the rebuttals where the real info leaks out.

I have to push back against your assumption that Rust is a language that limits developers. It absolutely does not. As for the AI bit... I use AI to write code all day. It's great, but it makes the same sort of mistakes humans do. I find Rust is a great language for AI to write (under appropriate supervision).

I have fun programming in Rust. I don't like programming in C. I do like programming in C++. I like building type systems that prevent errors and automate drudgery. Both C++ and Rust let me do that, C does not.

I think the point of your "you will have fun programming in C" is that in both languages (and C++) you spend a fair amount of time thinking about low-level details of what the compiler is generating. That's true, and I like thinking about memory layouts, cache lines, what the optimizer is going to do, etc. But I don't like all of the tedium C forces on me.

On balance, I prefer Rust over every other language I've used.

She basically single-handedly killed the site.

We’re not talking about the national average, the entire population. We are talking about the elements of the main market that are reluctant to purchase EVs. In particular after doing the math for their particular situation.

Not really. Only a small fraction of Australians live in colder regions, in the USA is around half. Much of Australia is sort of like California, ideal EV territory. Again, the people reluctant to purchase EVs generally have valid reasons.

Many in the US prefer hybrids as a result.

But the numbers you just gave for Australia do represent commutes in general, including public transport. Restrict the data to drivers and you’ll find things much more similar in terms of miles. The previously mentioned climate differences do have an impact though.

... with 59% of EU workers using private cars as their primary mode of transportation,)

Their drives are on much more heavily traveled corridors with much better charging infrastructure available.

Not really. We have a good charging network along select major highways due to Tesla. So long range travel between major cities is adequately covered. However for more local needs the network is quite troublesome. Even when there are chargers they are often broken, not well maintained. We have US auto execs trying to do media events driving their own EVs from point A to B and had several unpleasant surprises as apps led them to non-functioning chargers. It was quite the counterproductive and embarassing PR stunt.

And 37 chargers were built. Do you know why so many chargers are unmaintained? Because the federal government provided funds to build chargers but not maintain them. Some scammers collected money, built, and abandoned any that was not profitable.

China overproduced and is dumping at or below cost. The US rightfully won’t allow such predatory practices.

Not that the US auto industry has not made terrible decisions, both in the 70s and recently. One of the recent ones included joint R&D efforts with Chinese auto companies. Some of their low costs have been from leveraging US (ex GM) R&D.

"if they can accuse important people without evidence and make them spend time and money"

So, for example, dredging up (in a suitable venue ofc) some ancient bimbo who diddled some rich guy in a dressing room (though she can't remember exactly when, or what she was wearing, and....well... She does admit to finding rape kinda sexy before she's dragged off the air), carefully not bringing the case to criminal court? Like that?

That's ridiculous! WOW

$ du -h /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/hid/ | tail -n1 | awk '{print $1}'
4.7M

That covers all mice. The individual mice drivers sizes range from 13K - 277K.

I'm sure that 382MB Windows driver for your Razer mouse includes GUI utilities and such as well though. So here's the corresponding utilities on Linux (Debian version):
openrazer-daemon : 560K installed size
openrazer-driver-dkms : 837K installed size
openrazer-meta : 37K installed size
python3-openrazer : 144K installed size

I thought 10-20MB would be bloated, but 382MB?!!? What are they packing in there? And is that just the download size, or the installed size?

Does this accomplish the same thing on Windows 11 Home?

Settings app -> System -> About -> Advanced system settings -> Hardware -> Device Installation Settings : No

Honestly asking; I have no Windows 11 Home installs.

Apparently, that is NOT an option on Windows 11 Home (only Pro or Enterprise have it). So the vast majority of consumer installs do NOT have this option.

I'm curious what the Microsoft apologists have to say about this. Is there another option for them? Will it be victim blaming / should have bought Pro? ...

Businesses needed computers long before spreadsheets were invented. They just weren't sitting on every desk.

That happened in the mid-1940s. LANPAR, the first mainframe spreadsheet program, was invented in 1969. VisiCalc, which ran on the Apple II, was invented in 1979.

I wouldn't go as far as "banning" spreadsheet programs, as cellocgw advocates, but I do think they're used far too much. Including by people who should know better. Like engineers and scientists.

There are far better tools, especially if you're handling "thousands" of numbers.

What is the point of posting references to documents you clearly have never even read?

"(b) grant a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021"

This means everyone (+99%) received a full complete unconditional PARDON except for the 14 mostly well known crackpots enumerated above who got time served.

Hundreds of police officers were attacked, 140 of whom received injuries at the hands of the insurrectionist mob. Officers have lost eyes, suffered brain damage and a lady was shot and killed. The appellate process not vigilantism is the proper forum for those who believe they have been mistreated in some way by the justice system. A president with a clear conflict of interest having himself fomented the insurrection in the first place by continuously advertising it and promulgating the "big lie" to crackpot supporters is clearly an abuse of power. There is no justification even if you believe "J6 folks" were mistreated for blanket presidential pardons.

Yes you are. You just demonstrated it by attempting to excuse away the blatantly indefensible with a load of factually incorrect gibberish.

No, you come on.

OOXML's standards document contains 7,000 pages. Seven thousand. Even Microsoft doesn't implement all of it, and they have proprietary workarounds to enable backward-compatibility for legacy formats. Their own legacy formats, not WordPerfect or SmartSuite WordPro. Strawman much?

Developers of open-soruce office suites have reported consistent problems trying to open and render OOXML documents created with Microsoft Office. That's why you'll hear them discouraging its use.
