Or a vote of retention like Colorado does. Governor appoints the judges but voters must retain them or new judges must be appointed. Kind of strikes a balance between overtly campaigning judges and more democratic influence on the judiciary

Their executives determined, probably correctly, they can massively mismanage their company to save a buck and then get bailed out by Uncle Sam cause they’re too important to fail.

Seriously what’s with the spelling of the nicknames lol that seems new for him but now he does it all the time

Second map looks 50/50 to me, the red is just more spread out. The needs more jpeg probably doesn’t help

They also offered to “swap” her for the lot next door. F that, they should offer to buy it from her for fair market value

You can’t out plant meat cultivation indefinitely. Until GHG capture makes a generational leap or two in capacity the only sustainable solution to feed the world is vast reduction or total elimination of meat consumption.

It’s also only the largest plurality because it’s the default bucket. When you lump religious vs non religious the picture is very different

Yeah well one time he made fun of people I find icky and they meekly said “don’t make fun of us please” so actually Dave is the best comedian to ever have existed and has never done anything wrong. You ever considered that?

(/s duh but just in case lol)

Florida, Texas, Montana, Tennessee, South Dakota , Idaho all banned it. Sounds like republicans

My opinion, hopefully I don’t get downvoted into oblivion lol: Rust is great for lots of things and its to be commended for forward thinking on so many neglected areas of software development from the last 20 years. I use it almost every day for hobby stuff and have used it from time to time professionally (among Java, python, typescript, c++).

That being said amongst many of its users it has an almost cult like belief in its supremacy and imho attracts some bad people (not all). Because of how much it protects you, many bad developers find it and fall it love with it because it forces them to code correctly and then they can’t imagine that anybody else doesn’t need the guard rails they do. They also see that some of the smartest and best developments in software engineering happen in this space and want to attach themselves to it, and then use it as a bludgeon against others. Lots of very important software was written in languages that are not rust and they work just fine, were able to meet deadlines / be profitable Etc etc. but there is this attitude from many that if you aren't picking Rust these days what are you even doing???

Rust is great but it’s sometimes messy and not the right tool for the job. The whole “slower to develop but faster to correct” (which I’d say needs some real data to prove out, but for the sake of argument let’s say is true) is a trade off, not something that automatically makes it better. Sometimes due to circumstances way beyond your own control as a developer, you won’t know what the right answer is until halfway into development and there are languages that accommodate that scenario much better (imo). This is one of many of rust’s short comings. For a website, it’s just an unusual tool that even if equally useful from a language standpoint doesn’t have as much tooling and community support around it as other web languages. But I’d say it’s not equal even from a baseline level (again, my opinion. I’ve used rust plenty but I’ve never used it for web dev so I’m talking out my butt). Philosophically, does it make sense to over engineer a super powerful Ferrari of a website when a Toyota Camry will do? Especially when the Camry is tried and true and will likely let you be more agile.

You can do anything in any language, but should you?

The changes:

Intel® APX doubles the number of general-purpose registers (GPRs) from 16 to 32. This allows the compiler to keep more values in registers; as a result, APX-compiled code contains 10% fewer loads and more than 20% fewer stores than the same code compiled for an Intel® 64 baseline.2 Register accesses are not only faster, but they also consume significantly less dynamic power than complex load and store operations.

Intel® APX adds conditional forms of load, store, and compare/test instructions, and it also adds an option for the compiler to suppress the status flags writes of common instructions. These enhancements expand the applicability of if-conversion to much larger code regions, cutting down on the number of branches that may incur misprediction penalties. All these conditional ISA improvements are implemented via EVEX prefix extensions of existing legacy instructions.
