About a third of those fires are criminal [0], yes that's a lot, but the majority are still accidental or natural. Even the criminal ones are only enabled because of the dry vegetation, caused by the recent heat waves. IMO focusing on

Could you duplicate `RECORD_INST` before each `INSTRUCTION_N`, so that: ``` INSTRUCTION_1: // subroutine 1 ip++; goto *dispatch_var[*ip]; INSTRUCTION_2: // subroutine 2 ip++; goto *

Can't you solve it using hash trees (or Merkle trees) ? You tag each computation nodes with a hash of its dependencies and some constant salt, that gives you an ID which identifies the results that the computation node would produce; b

In the same vein, there is the "tournesol"[0] browser extension, which plugs its own recommandation algorithm into YouTube, to promote educational videos [0]: https://tournesol.app/

An interesting project, but it seems to be in its infancy :) I definitely want an actor based language to play with, and something with a strong type system would be perfect. gleam [1] and inko [2] look promising in this regard [1] https:&#

It doesn't really make sense to compare a 350T sail boat with a super tanker, a comparable diesel boat produce 36g per ton per km(according to the same report), the "grain de sail II" aims to replace those, and the gains are

According to [0], a typical container ship generate 12.5 g of CO2 per ton per km, which means that one trip from France to NY with 350T of cargo would release about 35T of CO2 in the atmosphere. I'm convinced that this sail boat genera

How is 360$ of fuel more eco-friendly than 0$ ? I don't get your argument

This is their second boat,and they already do exactly that. So far it's been quite successful

Could you elaborate on why this is not a method by which carbon emissions can be significantly reduced ? This is only the second boat of a small company, they most likely don't have the ressources to get a bigger one. At this scale, th

Population count is just one of many metrics when evaluating the "niceness" of a place. Maybe "destroyed" is not the best way of describing the effect of car dependency (my english is not that good) but a city that doesn

Houston comes to mind, it has a very low walkbility index (see https://pedestriansfirst.itdp.org/ ).

This is a valid point, I don't know of any "bus only" highway but it could a good alternative.

a couple of reasons: * cars destroy cities, they take huge chunks of the public space, * air pollution, * noise pollution, * safety, * fast floods favored by impermeable soil covers, * social inequalities (not having a car make you less cap

Agreed ! Plus, the ability submit a bunch of tasks, and to block until _one_ task completed (akin to `epoll_wait` of tokio's `select`) makes it quite useful. I don't know of a use case or `mutiprocessing.Pool` which is not covered

For a fair comparison, hybrid cars can easily do 50+ MPG. For instance the "toyota yaris hybrid" is supposed to run 62MPG (3.8L/100km).

> Just like `zero | one | two` is not equivalent to `Option<one | two>` Isn't it ? both cases represent a type than can express 3 variants

by evomassiny 4y ago
exaclty, whether you call it 'Nothing' or 'null' does not matter, as long as it represents a distinct type than 'true' or 'false'
23.
by evomassiny 4y ago
the type `null | true | false` is different from `true | false`, a type checker can assert that you handle the `null` case before using a function that wants a boolean. This is how rust handles it (with the Option<T> type).

dataclasses document the full set of attribute they can hold, along with their type.
