One area where it shines is localization. "Hey bot, find all English strings in the code enclosed in double quotes, for each string create a key in the form 'category-description', for example error-not-found, create a translation file in Fluent format in the form of "key = value" for all those keys and their values. Do that for the following locales: ..."

With some prompt refinements, corrections, etc, done in 2 hours. Saved me 2 weeks of manual work.

Apple customers will pay anyway even if they double or triple the price.

When we transition to clean, beautiful coal.

The body and the brain cannot be separated, it's one organism which cannot exist without the other part. We don't even know what consciousness is, so how can we even "suppress" it's emergence in the brain? Or do they suggest completely brainless bodies? In this case, what organ is taking care of coordinating and controlling all the living functions?

Retire into some tropical island with a heap of cash or what? I mean, with an open fraud like this you'll be caught anyway.

I'd say in a given week I only do 15 minutes of real, actual work.

VS Code is not an IDE, it's a code editor. It lacks a lot of productivity tools and features: advanced refactoring, project management, smart code completion, advanced debugging and a lot more. It's not even comparable to JetBrains products.

After 8 years of actively using Rust (including the FOSS and for-profit organizations), I have yet to see those imaginary hostile "rust communities" which are constantly being referred by anti-Rust trolls. On quite the contrary, the lack of respect is always on the other side.

Reading Nick Lane's "Life Ascending", it seems that bootstrapping life from water and geothermal vents should be rather common in our Universe. Bacteria is probably everywhere. Creating eukaryotes (and all complexity) through endosymbiosis, however, appears to be extremely rare and uncommon, as it only happened once. Even more rare is an impossible chain of events which led to intelligent life.

Count me in.

Are you confusing fusion with fission?

I am not. And fusion rocket still remains conceptualized science fiction. But it's the only way, at least according to our understanding of physics.

This requirement is for chemical rockets, to gain the first escape velocity quickly because there is not enough fuel. More advanced types of propulsion which don't require megatons of kerosene don't have that issue. Now, for Mars landing (and perhaps taking off) you also need a lot of fuel to bring with you, in addition to humans and life support, and eventually it will run out. So there is no way we can fly across the Solar system on the kerosene barrels.

Fuel is a minuscule fraction of the cost of spaceflight.

The problem is that what's called the "tyranny of the rocket", not the cost. The exponential dependency of the amount of fuel from the mass of the payload.

You need a huge amount of thrust in a very short period of time

Not necessarily. You can lift to space with a walking speed. It's a matter of propulsion technique. Chemical rockets require a lot of fuel so the only way is to quickly gain 8 km/s.
