This is not a position based on anything factual. If you have evidence of a setting not being honoured it will be treated as a bug and fixed, there is no evidence of bad faith about that that I can recall.

As for about:config, if you submit working patches to better expose options you care about I'm pretty sure they'll be considered, but every complex software has obscure options not exposed through a polished UI and frankly it's OK...


Actually, some wolves are mostly pescetarian https://www.dangerrangerbear.com/the-sea-wolf/ ;)


Whoa! 7.5 miles is a long swim. Thanks for the interesting article. Just so you know, that article says “During the salmon and herring spawning seasons, nearly one-quarter of this coastal wolf’s diet is fish” so I don’t think it supports your claim, exactly.


> Can you tell me another way of buying something over the internet without tying the purchase to a government ID?

By using a prepaid (debit|gift) card bought for cash in a convenience store? Much better anonymity that way. And much less volatility.


You forgot the money launderers, in both ecosystems. Casinos are the original tumbler.


'I'm shocked to find that gambling is going on in here.' https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0034583/quotes/?item=qt0429972


"I'm shocked! Shocked…"

(The double "shocked" is what makes the quote next-level.)


Doesn't quite translate in text. Figured those who could hear it in their head wouldn't need the extra prompting.


That falls under pragmatists


The very useful TryFrom trait landed only in 1.34, so hopefully the code using unwrap_or_else() in From impl predates that...

Actually the From trait documentation is now extremely clear about when to implement it (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/convert/trait.From.html#when-t...)


As someone unfamiliar with Rust (yet! it's on my ever growing list of things I'd like to absorb into my brain), unwrap_or_else() sounds like part of the "What You See Is What I Threatened the Computer To Do" paradigm.


> INTERCAL has many other features designed to make it even more aesthetically unpleasing to the programmer: it uses statements such as "READ OUT", "IGNORE", "FORGET", and modifiers such as "PLEASE". This last keyword provides two reasons for the program's rejection by the compiler: if "PLEASE" does not appear often enough, the program is considered insufficiently polite, and the error message says this; if it appears too often, the program could be rejected as excessively polite.


Oh wow! That's amazing! "I came to learn Computer Science, but I left with good bedside manners".


Immediately thought of INTERCAL :)


There are also the equally threatening and useful `map_or_else` (on Result and Option) and `ok_or_else` (on Option and experimentally on bool)


So, what puts to buy... The actors likely to fall the hardest are unlisted... At list the .com ere had lots of IPO...


V2G can provide the short-term capacity. If one allocates e.g. 40 kWh from their battery to V2G, each million electric cars can add 40GWh of grid tied battery storage. If you pay people fairly, it will happen. There are more than 4 million electric cars in the EU already...


In Austria at least you cannot even charge your car with properly priced electricity unless you have your own outlet. At some chargers it is more expensive to charge through the night (because of blocking fees over 4-5h) even though we basically always have the lowest prices then.


If your hot source is really hot, thermophotovoltaic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermophotovoltaic_energy_conv...) makes sense and can offer much better efficiency...


Solving the Scotland/England interconnect under-capacity is well underway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_high-voltage_transmiss...


And no clear quantum Moore law emerging for the yearly increase in qbits (https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.15547)... The quantum panic pushes people to deploy immature solutions, and the remedy sure sometimes looks worse than the illness...


Great manuscript to share.

I will highlight to others that while the qubit count is not increasing exponentially, other metrics are.
