I’m far more inclined to trust any CPU manufacturer over a motherboard manufacturer.

After what's happened with Intel with their 13th and 14th gen CPU's that thought of mine is changing.

Apologies for the non sequitur

Do you think Zig is a valid challenger to Rust for this kind of programming?

Zig's trying to be a "nicer C" that's easy to learn and fast to compile. It's a great language with a lot of neat design, and definitely setting itself up to be a "valid challenger" in a lot of the systems-y, performance-focused domains Rust targets. But it's not trying to compete with Rust on the safety/program correctness front.

Almost none of the Rust features discussed in this subthread are present in Zig, such as ownership, borrowing, shared vs. exclusive access, lifetimes, traits, RAII, or statically checked thread safety.

Thank you

If it’s not open source, it’s fraud in disguise

Even if it's open source but a single entity/foundation has full control of the blockchain, it's a fraud in disguise.

Also an idiotic way to implement a database.

I think that’ll be one of the few good parts of it imho

If we’re talking about dwarf fortress it uses an old IBM charset, assuming this is some branch off that

Now dwarf fortress can eat your CPU, Memory, and GPU. Exciting news.

I thought so too, but looks like the OP wrote their own game that just has a similar ascii view.

However, no reason this can't translate to df!

Econ 102 taught me most markets are not perfectly competitive and how to measure monopolistic control over markets. That and how to measure value each country gets from trading goods based on specialization.

This is conspiratorial anti science rhetoric, any econ student will tell you isn’t the case.

“Most market are not perfectly competitive” is the econ version of “the earth is not perfectly flat”.

When you say something preposterous in the first place, saying “it's not perfectly accurate” a bit later is never going to be enough.

I opened with that because the person I’m replying to is claiming Econ is libertarian-esque propaganda

You are mixing things up:

- libertarianism derives from a fringe branch of economics (the Austrian school) which is an heterodoxy.

- but mainstream economics, the classical branch then the neoclassical synthesis, is nonetheless heavily ideological (markets being seen as inherently good, even though they are often imperfect in the real world). And when you have a clique going as far as making their own apocryphal “Nobel prize” in order to promote their views and establish scientific credibility to political leaders, calling it “propaganda” is not entirely unwarranted.

it’s more relevant than ever

All the land around economic centers is taken by suburbs, the only direction is up. There’s nothing wrong with that, this is the natural progression of city growth.

This is only becoming a problem because local communities are using their legal weight to prevent enough condos & apartments from being built to satisfy demand. So now we have more homeless people and high rent problems.

Is there a delete habeas corpus button? The specific search the current administration happens to be hitting legal challenges on?

All of this heavy breathing leaves out that the edit also deletes the U.S. Navy, I mean, if it had any legally binding impact, which thankfully, a website does not.

“Legally Binding” is determined by the courts. The process of overturning sections of the constitution start with claiming they were never there.

The current admin spent months saying the 14th amendment essentially isn’t valid, so they could justify it to their base once they got SCOTUS to overturn birthright citizenship, despite it being plainly enumerated in the 14th amendment.

I've heard ideas I liked less. Let's give the damned airedales back to the Army while we're at it, hey? Buncha fancified cavalry-wannabe jagoffs, they've had swelled heads for fifty years.
