How much of your EV charging money goes out the power plant smokestack, into the river/cooling tower, or heats up the air around the electrical wiring though?
i’m a proponent of EV’s, even when they charge from fossil powered grids, because of the thermodynamic efficiency gain.
But ragememes, no. Let’s not be like that.
Is COBOL subject to buffer overflows and use-after-free bugs? I honestly don’t know.
I don’t recall the COBOL code I’ve read using pointers.
“direct action”, otherwise unspecified. Maybe carrying a sign or blocking traffic will stop imperialism? Maybe stealing the neighbors’ Amazon packages? I don’t know, and I bet he comes up with nothing other than glittering generalities.
can you be more specific than just saying direct action? Like what does this action entail? What do you go out and do?
yeah, that’s basically giving up any power you do have.
let me know how the direct action works out.
Can you outline those things that actually matter, that you are doing?
Well said.
Use all the tools at your disposal. Vote for the better of the candidates, and then also take direct action or whatever.
It’s stupid to “protest the system” by rejecting the method it does give you to steer it. If it’s ineffectual, you’ve lost nothing. If you happen to be one of 10,000 that markedly changes the outcome away from an outwardly evil candidate, then you have made a significant positive difference.
Can you say what you mean by “leftist” then?
Can you define what you mean by “liberals”?
Usenet or Fidonet would be a more apt comparison
Yeah maybe that’s true. I thought the recent work eliminated it but it looks like ZGC2 has a bounded and usually microseconds-range pause time.
FYI the JVM’s GC is concurrent and doesn’t freeze.
Try Scala. It has all the functional goodness, all the OOP goodness, all the imperative goodness, clean syntax like python or like typescript, really well thought out libraries like ZIO, Akka, Tapir, Caliban and access to all Java libraries. Very mature runtime with best-in-class high performance concurrent GC and a green thread implementation that can handle 10s of millions of concurrent operations.
Yeah let’s not forget the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) which was more full-featured of an object-oriented language than most “current” languages.
The dynamism allowed both Smalltalk and CLOS to avoid a dark corner that will confound your typical OOP’er today - the circle/ellipse modeling problem; they allow an object to “become” a different type on its own accord. Take that, Java!
They are kind of like two hands making a handshake - they just twist/slide into each other and each is then looped around the back of the other. Very simple and effective
Have you seen these knife connectors used in aviation? They are genderless and lock together. Of course your crimp better be solid - meaning proper connector for the wire size and proper crimping tool die.
interesting pivot
Linkerbaan, where are you yourself from?
Yeah, you become a trillion dollar company by being lazy and not knowing what people want!
