God damnit not this swill again. It's not even close to triple, it's like 15%. Read. The. Reports.

For real. Why does this misinformation keep spreading? I have the actual real numbers right in front of me now.

And it's the same as what MIT Technology Review reported and what Google reported publicly.

The EU's CSRD requires most of these companies to disclose their carbon emissions. So just go look it up, ya taints.

I see your concern, but in practice that's not what happens in languages like Java and Python with exceptions. Not checking for exceptions is a choice because everyone knows you need to check in your top-level functions. Forgetting to catch is a problem that only hits newbies.

Oof, some of these comments. Sorry on behalf of the edge lords, OP.

But the entire point of Rust and Result is... to force you to make a choice of what should happen

Checked exceptions also force you to handle it and take way less boilerplate.

Nit: One engineer at a company saying something is not the same as that whole company saying something. I wish they would just say "Google employee insists..."

Zigbee or really any Bluetooth alternative.

Bluetooth is a poorly engineered protocol. It jumps around the spectrum while transmitting, which makes it difficult and power intensive for bluetooth receivers to track.

Yes. Supplier markup is 50% above cost, so set up a price watch and wait for it to go on clearance. You'll get it 50% off.

I got mine new at Best Buy last year when they were clearing out M1 stock.

In summary, a bunch of 60 year old C developers with social deficits hijacking the conversation when he gives a talk or tries to get anything done. E.g. the link was people interrupting a QA session to complaining "I don't want to learn Rust".

This post was maybe true 5 years ago, but PC laptops have really started to suck. My macbook air was only $300 and it's way better than my work's $1k+ Dell laptop in terms of performance and battery life.

Feel free to add it to the list. It's Wikipedia.

Cool, you should add those in and find some sources. It's Wikipedia

 

"Google has announced plans to store Maps Timeline data locally on users' devices instead of their Google account effective December 1, 2024."

"The development is part of a series of changes the company has enacted in response to allegations that it misled consumers and illegally tracked their movements despite turning off Location History from the account settings by taking advantage of the non-obvious Web & App Activity setting."
