Yes, besides the mundane day to day details, which are actually up the alley of many people, the other thing that prevents people from being a small business owner is the amount of money they need to invest in it, and the fact that they are

You are. The brain actually responds to CO2 concentration, not oxygen concentration. Your metabolism turns O2 and various hydrocarbons into CO2 and water, but many of the feedback loops in this process that mediate how your body metabolizes

This is a terrible attitude which unfortunately is all too common in the industry right now: evaluating AI/ML systems not based on what they can do, but what they hypothetically might be able to do. The thing is, with enough magical th

In Vermont, we have banned outdoor advertising (billboards) for over 50 years with no such issues. It's hilarious that you think that advertising is actually necessary for economic prosperity. If anything, it's probably a net drai

What Rust provides is a way to build safe abstractions over unsafe code. Rust's type system (including ownership and borrowing, Sync/Send, etc), along with it's privacy features (allowing types to have private fields that can

There is no distinction between safe and unsafe code in C, so it's not possible to make that same distinction that you can in Rust. And even if you try to provide some kind of safer abstraction, you're limited by the much more pri

So, it's true that unsafe code can depend on preconditions that need to be upheld by safe code. But using ordinary module encapsulation and private fields, you can scope the code that needs to uphold those preconditions to a particular

You can also charge at work, which is actually generally better as the grid moves to more solar as then the demand lines up with generation. Employers need to step up their game and start offering charging if they want people in the office.
