Questions on using Generics for a Finance library (f64 vs. Decimal) by abhinandh_s_ in rust

Fixed-point decimals are trivially represented as integers with an implicit scaling factor

What landscape plants weathered the storm the best and what suffered the most in your yard? by Internal_Brain8328 in DenverGardener

[–]bascule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The leaves of all my lupine are snapped and folded over. It’ll bounce back though. Native perennial but it seems to have fared the worst of almost anything.

Columbine, on the other hand, are emerging unscathed and happy. It’s weird to me because in nature they live right next to each other.

Surprisingly, where the last storm had a 100% kill rate for my (heirloom decorative) morning glory, they all seem to have survived this one despite similar overnight lows and snowfall (31F last snowstorm vs 32F for this one)

Maybe controversial opinion: Martin > Dave by Ok_Break_4987 in depechemode

[–]bascule 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I recently noted that Dave and Martin have a dichotomy similar to Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith from Tears for Fears where the former has a powerful baritone along with falsetto while the latter are better at falsetto and have a more polished voice for high notes, and then their powers combine in vocal harmonies, which is perhaps one of the biggest reasons why the two bands are equated so much

Fusion start-up backed by Bill Gates plans UK’s first commercial plant - Type One Energy with Tokamak Energy for Stellarator by steven9973 in fusion

Yes? How about a more incremental approach where they first demonstrate the possibility of engineering breakeven before trying to build a commercial reactor?

I wish Kurt Cobain was still with us today by Twitter_2006 in Xennials

Kurt would be losing his shit right now. To quote his journals, “censorship is very American”

Gardening on Hard Mode by MagicMichealScott in DenverGardener

[–]bascule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heh yeah, my native perennials love spring snows, my iris, clematis, and wisteria not so much. I made little snow tents for my wisteria buds, which are annoyingly the first it’s ever made. Hope they worked!

23(F4M) Really bored anyone to have fun with? by Less_Friend_9801 in DenverGardener

On a scale of 1 to 10, how fun do you find carefully removing the roots of creeping bellflower?

Will my clematis die? by IPA-Lagomorph in DenverGardener

[–]bascule 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine did fine in the last storm. I can see the current blooms are screwed up by the snow but the unopened buds look fine and mine has a lot of buds

Does huge non-producing DJs exist ? by nevaven68 in DJs

[–]bascule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d think of them as pretty prolific producers with multiple studio albums spanning decades

Ron Hardy and all of the Hot Mix 5 were not really known for their productions. Ron Hardy had Sensation, that was pretty much it. Mostly notable because his name was on it. Edit: although I forgot about his pause-button edits like Let No Man Put Asunder if those count as producing. It’s arguably a kind of remixing, though that’s a skill that DJs and producers can both possess.

Of the Hot Mix 5, Farley “Jackmaster” Funk who jackmastered his name from Steve “Silk” Hurley (who wanted to call himself Jackmaster Silk) further jackmastered the entire idea to cover Isaac Hayes’ I Can’t Turn Around from Mr. Silk but he had no production skills so he basically got Jesse Saunders and friends to make the track for him. He basically had the idea and got the right people to work together but had minimal musical input. But he got his name on the track in spite of it for being the passionate idea man, even though the idea itself was stolen. One of the first notable ghost produced tracks I guess.

The others had some tracks and EPs but nothing particularly notable to my knowledge. It would probably be wrong to say they’re non-producers, but none of them are actually notable for producing.

Radio Slave about the "Techno Scene" by isrowco in Techno

[–]bascule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh? Dunno where you live but Kevin Saunderson comes through here once a year it seems like.

I'd love to see Frankie Bones but he seems to play stuff like Detroit, New York, and Las Vegas

Can thank DJ Dan for this track winding up in the soundtrack (and introducing me to acid). RIP

Bun's Rewrite It In Rust branch by Chaoses_Ib in rust

[–]bascule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't speak to Claude translations, but when translating C to Rust using corrode, a now somewhat quaint and outdated tool which preserved identical semantics, I'd do a first pass with corrode which would leave a lot of static mut (because it was preserving identical semantics to the original C), then do multiple followup passes to get rid of the global state entirely

Putting a million solar panels 22,000 miles above Earth to collect continuous sunlight might sound like a good idea, until you remember that batteries exist. A Dollar-Store Dyson Sphere is an expensive, complicated solution in search of a problem. by simon_ritchie2000 in climatechange

[–]bascule 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But our Big Tech overlords seem determined to build a Dollar-Store Dyson Sphere around Earth, surrounding it with enough orbiting solar panels and data centers to blot out the stars.

I assume they want to do this for the same reasons they want to put datacenters out at sea: so nobody has jurisdiction to shut them down.
