Correct, nothing worse. But Rust has to be *better* than C at something for it to be a better choice, because without the memory safety guarantees, C is faster. C is also much better suited to tasks which impose structural order on byte buffers without moving data. Which happens a lot at the system programming level.

If you can write it with an efficient run time in Rust without using the "unsafe" keyword and without relying on a library that uses the "unsafe" keyword then you've generally identified a use case where Rust is a better choice than C. If you need the "unsafe" keyword or have to write convoluted code to work around its absence, C is likely still a better choice. The kernel has both use cases.

Fortran has some optimizations involving pointers that are invalid in other languages like C. So it can be the absolute fastest outside of hand optimized assembly (which is very difficult to do better than a compiler these days). It also has advanced math libraries which are highly tested and optimized. So its niche is highly performant math and scientific programming.

First off, that's not even an article about Internet infrastructure, it's an article about open source software.

Second off, when you use open source software, you own the copies you're using. That's the whole point. If it breaks and the original author isn't around, you hire someone to fix it or replace it with different software. That's how it works. And all of the software licenses deemed open source are structured to make it continue to work that way, with or without the original authors.

There's only 2 reasons to have a new piece of hardware rather than make this an app on your phone:

1)It adds new sensors that your phone doesn't have (yet) that will enable new functionality. This won't be the case, as there's no usecase for it
2)It adds a new IO methods that aren't possible on the phone. AR goggles might do this. An AI assistant doesn't, it's all audio and voice.

This is basically just going to be replacable with a bluetooth microphone paired to an app on your phone. Which means nobody is going to buy it- even if they can actually find a usecase people want AI for (doubtful).

Those exist, but divide the view count by number of comments. It will show for the most part thousands of views per comment. That means most people aren't using the social part. I've yet to ever write a youtube comment, but I use it daily. So if you asked me if I use YouTube you'd get a yes, but it's not social media for me. If you limit it to those who read/write comments it would be fair, but I'm not sure they did that.

I'd say the same for YouTube. It's used to watch videos. The number of people who comment on them is minimal compared to the userbase. I'd be very curious to the exact definition of "social media" they use is. I don't think it's what most people consider to be social media.

Not anything. Especially when dealing with nuclear. There are some parts that once degraded cannot be safely replaced. For example, the containment unit. And others where making a new one makes more economic sense than replacing even when technically possible. What state this plant is in I have no idea, and am not qualified to have an opinion on. I just hope experts are making the decision based on economics and power requirements and not politics.

No, it isn't. You're absolutely deluding yourself. And even if it was, nobody uses it to actually write anything. Learning to write (vs read) would be, is, and has been for 50 years an utter waste of time.

I am absolutely serious. I have never, in 45 years of my life, seen anyone write in cursive past 3rd grade.

This information is useless without knowing what the passwords were chosen to protect.

Let's face it: the password to my netflix account is not very important to me. If it's hacked I suffer a minor inconvenience at worst. What would be inconvenient for me would be if netflix forced me to do 2FA or some other complicated thing in order to use their service. That inconvenience would drive me toward cancellation.

The password to my bank account IS very important to me. I picked a much better one there. And of course the password to my primary email box is critical, so I chose a careful password there.

The main question is if the plant is still safe. It hasn't been used in years. Is it still in good maintenance? Was the design meant to be idled for years? What are the risks of restarting that particular design of reactor after all those years? Is the land there safe for workers of the plant after reactor 2's accident all those years ago? And what plans are in place to prevent what happened at reactor 2 from happening at reactor 1?

I actually don't know the answer to any of those questions. But I hope experts are actively asking those.

Really isn't. I haven't seen cursive anywhere but on documents in a museum at any point in my life. That includes signatures, which are more likely to be a squiggle than anything resembling actual cursive. There is zero point to mandatory instruction on it anymore (if there ever was- the idea that it was a faster way of writing is backed by 0 proof. And even if it was, the ease of reading script more than cancels out those speed gains).

You mean caning treatment. The word you used means stuffing in a small metal container.

More likely it's the bots that trained google with the wrong answers. I wouldn't be surprised if Recaptcha is more likely to find a bot correct than a human.
