It can get much worse.

The correct solution is for tanks to drag a power cable and a water cooling loop behind them. This will make them invisible to thermals.

Yours is one louder

Like mathematicians and physicists.

I was a bit apprehensive because rust has like a gazillion different function types but here it seems to work like just any other language with a HM type system.

The fn(T)->R syntax works for functions without associated data, it discards details of the implementation and works like function pointers in C. This allows them to be copy and 'static.

The other function types can have data with them and have more type information at compile time which allows them to be inlined.
These functions each have their own unwritable type that implements the function traits (Fn(T)->R, FnMut(T)->R and FnOnce(T)->R) depending on their enclosed data.

I hope I remembered everything right from this video by Jon Gjengset.

Not banning the NPD because it was small and “posed no credible threat to democracy” was the stupidest decision out constitutional court ever made.

First it was to small to be dangerous, now it’s to big to fail.

What about train station graffiti? Or Wikipedia discussion pages? Or the linux mailing list?

You have really opened a can of worms we here.

I think we should all agree that quenching is the coolest industrial process.

Menus should be PDFs so they are searchable.

As a climber I have to disagree, figure 8 knots are the best, especially when double back.
It’s the one knot I trust my life to on a weekly basis and I have rarely encountered a situation where they weren’t part of the solution.

How?

Good question. I said should, not could… it would take a constitutional change, […]

I mean: if you had the power, how would you ban parties? At what point do political organizations become parties? How about individual representatives working together?

Bring back the old literacy tests while you’re at it

Pfft. The two are not the same. You could be perfectly illiterate and still find out what the supposed values of the politicians were by simply listening to them, or just talking to others about policy and politicians ties to them, like we used to.

Yes literacy is not the deciding factor, but it was always a pretense to keep certain people from voting.

Imagine how much more attention you would have yo pay if you had to understand who to vote for.

How much time should a person spend following politics to get enough of an understanding? What about poor people working long hours with little free time?
Guess I should have gone with the landowning requirement instead.

The Hatch Act applies to all career federal civil servants and prevents anyone under that designation from running from office in any partisan race. Meaning if your local government doesn’t allow political affiliations to be listed, then you

Sound like a problem with the Hatch Act, not with political parties. Over here civil servant can run in political races as long they separate their work and political live, they are not allowed to wear uniforms at political events for example.

Short answer:
It gave us compiler explorer, now that it has served its purpose we should stop doing it.

Long answer:

Why does hft even exist?

Hft can exist because most stock markets react to requests as fast as possible and have no noticable fees for certain use cases. This means algorithms that do simple trades like if goggle goes up, buy other tech companies or buy any stock that goes up in europe on the NY market can make small profits if they are faster than everyone else.

Does it have any value?

There is one exchange that imposes a delay on every request, effectively inhibiting hft, and its opening actually improved market conditions on all exchanges. This implies it has negative value.
They also spend millions on hardware, tools and developers to skim small sums of many transaction on the stock market. They are effectively a (very inefficient) tax on the stock market that goes to improving C++ compilers and funding hardware startups.

Political parties should be abolished.

How?

Imagine how much more attention you would have yo pay if you had to understand who to vote for.

Bring back the old literacy tests while you’re at it.

Plus then it would allow people like your local mail carrier to run for things like school committee.

They aren’t? If yes how would that change?

The can’t find the difference meme would fit better.

It was hit during takeoff.
Maybe the drone arrived shortly before takeoff and the operator thought:

If I wait for it to take of I could get an air to air kill do more damage.

Reminds me of the time a F-15 bombed a helicopter mid air.

Having many guys with pointy sticks (muskets with bayonets in this case) was still the best way to defend against cavalry.
Having one big blob of people with pointy sticks also enabled charges to rout the enemy and stoped them from doing it to you.

Inline code in `back ticks`

I don’t know how to escape triple back tics inside a code block, just ignore the spaces

The outlawing of the testicular torsion spell by the great council was not taken well by those who practiced it.

Edit mistyped

It reduces interviewer bias if you do it before they get a word in.

I agree with the sentiment but …

then nothing can be bricked because on paper you can desolder the rom chip and put another one in place.

Companies already put serial numbers in components and configure them so only specific ones work together, requiring OEM tools to pair them.
It’s imaginable that someone makes something similar with e-fuzes instead.
