I use visual studio pro and when I hit F5, my game runs in the godot ide. I can pipe the log output back to visual studio. So, I think the integration is quite good, imo. ( sorry for formatting on phone )

Reading, 'ensuring that data is actually written and stays written is rather difficult', immediately reminded me of https://github.com/microsoft/FASTER (its not written in Go though), which is basically dealing with just that outlet ( except I think the KV store might be ram heavy, been a bit since I last looked at it )

Hadn't heard of this - it looks very interesting. Thanks for the reference!

Are the people running drug companies barely scraping by?

Not nearly as much as they claim they are. The system is basically rigged in their favor. Just compare the financial statements of companies like Ford and Boeing to Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk. Pharma does very good business.

Obviously not, but my general experience with conversations like these is that people never do the math.

If we split the profits across all of the people that "deserve reimbursement" you usually end up with a few dollars per person. Definitely, not enough to make a meaningful impact.

Additionally, the American consumer subsidizes R&D and costs for the rest of the world. America routinely pays 5x-20x more for drugs than other countries and American grants account for >50% of worldwide medical research funding (caveat: the last time I checked). Yup, even Europe is a fraction of what America pays.

I would encourage you to actually do the math and decide for yourself rather than taking (or anyone else's) word for it.

Should we shut down all efforts to generate power that uses heat, steam, and turbines?

Yes. Even the steam turbine bit alone will make it unable to compete on price with renewables.

This is why fusion projects are looking for ways to directly generate electricity. If they run steam turbines they've lost before they even start.

AMP made the internet on my phone work. Most sites seem to dedicate 50% or more of the screen space to advertisements and load very slowly -- AMP sites were just crazy more performant -- I'm not saying AMP was the right move to make, but, it was trying to solve a real problem (similar to this bill also likely being the wrong move)

AMP worked like shit for me. Any time I had weird behavioural issues with a site, I’d look to the address bar and spot AMP. Using an extensions to prevent AMP stealing my clicks has made my phones browser work much better.

Guess: you were running iOS and your parent was running Android

It did have some benefits for consumers (and some drawbacks also). That doesn't really change what they did to publishers with it though.

Like making a specfic mechanic in a video game worse so they can sell the fix later on.

Neat observation. I wasn't doing much programming in 2004, but, I'm guessing 2004 Python would be like today's Rust. People learn it because they love it.

I think more so Rust than even Python on 2004 since Rust has a pretty steep learning curve and does require a non-trivial amount of dedication to learning it.

Do you have an educational youtube channel? Will definitely take a look if you do.

PBS Space Time seems pretty good. He gives good explanations and gives a balanced perspective to both sides when there's debate.

f(x) = x^a is a polynomial of degree a.

f(x) = a^x would be an exponential function.

You are right. Thanks for correcting me.

Some libertarians are -- but I think they were trying to employ the slippery slope argument

The slope we’ve slid down so far has been very slippery indeed.
