It's a pedantic point admittedly, but I think it's important to be realistic and clear that Rust isn't a panacea.

If this could be done it seems like the ideal compromise. Everyone gets what they want. That said eventually more modern languages will be dependencies of the tools one way or another (and they should). So probably Debian as a whole shoul

Does it seem that way? It happened at least once (but could have happened many times without "taking over"), and certainly one sort of life seemed to successfully out-compete all others. But none of that says single-origin to me

You are right: this is indeed no smoking gun (and it isn't hyped to be one). This is more like "we can't rule out life having created this, but there are alternate explanations which have also not been ruled out". Unfor

I think the building blocks of life are so common in the universe it might be a case of "easy come, easy go". It wouldn't be surprising if simple life happened anywhere it was given half a chance at all, but one would equal

Allison Hayes is another person who campaigned against lead--this time in vitamin supplements--which lead to a change in FDA rules. She was a frequent actor in Roger Corman's B-movies which is where I first encountered her. She suffe

Presumably you'd follow the same regulations regarding actual animals in testing regarding inflicting pain or distress. Usually IRB's weigh whether the scientific results offset the risk of harm and emphasize minimizing pain (doi

Coming together to form a single object sounds like the work of a gravitational force.

Second this suggestion for anyone working through parasitic draw issues. He has a very solid, logical process for working through this (among other issues). I always enjoy watching the videos because it's like watching a who-dun-it w

From what I recall of the last set of bank failures this is pretty much the FDIC's SOP. They swoop in on Friday with little notice, close the bank, work through the weekend and open up for business on Monday. It apparently made for s

Although it wasn't explicitly prescribed, one action that was taken was quickly delivering some truth to the stakeholders. The customer was informed the original schedule wasn't possible and given an alternative (more realistic)

Wow...is there a big move towards it individually?

The new poll also has a 24 hour timer, so 'now' is effectively a 1 day ban. I kind of suspect the length of time has other motivations (but that's really just me being cynical).

Musk actually ran a poll already, but the people got the wrong answer (unban now). So he's running another poll. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603600001057185792

I've been using XFCE for many years now (currently though Xubuntu). It stays out of the way. I'm glad to see continued improvements without forcing a complete remake or overhaul for the sake of change.

Yeah, I imagine the conversation as more of a "could we make this work if we had no other choice" sort of thing. I don't imagine it would be considered under anything other than a dire emergency. I don't think NASA woul

Post Columbia accident, most of the shuttle missions were focused on the ISS where the crew could have taken refuge had there been a problem during ascent which prevented safe re-entry.[1] As you note the Hubble mission (STS-125 with Atlant

Roscosmos & NASA disagreeing with each other on the integrity of the Soyuz would be very on brand for everyone. Root cause and the next steps are going to be very interesting. Luckily it seems everyone is safe for the time being.

I could see them making a contingency for stuffing everyone on dragon as an absolute last resort and moving some launches around to get a vehicle there asap. In anycase it'll give NASA an occasion to review their planning for these so

The coolant is (appears to be) low velocity wrt to the ISS. Everything appears to be stable for now (and isn't causing a major impulse or torque to the ISS). My guess (with no expertise to back it) is that it should dissipate quickly
