A lot of presumption:

will surely be

If the Rust version becomes popular

It probably will

the Rust people will start pushing

They will most probably also

Does not a solid conclusion make:

That way. the Linux userland becomes even more broken than it already is because now we have again two incompatible sets of...

Have a look at EasyEDA. Browser UI, schematic and PCB design, linked to JLCPCB for ridiculously easy board creation, and if you take care to use components they have in stock out of their design libraries you can also do fully populated boards ready to go.

Here's a post I made about a solar hot water system controller using easyEDA with a few images of the board and schematic at the bottom.

Apparently closed loop systems are not ~~good~~ cheap enough

There I fixed that for you.

What should happen is that the cost of water to these businesses should increase, which would then incentivise other more expensive methods of cooling, but that would make line go up at a less steep angle which makes shareholders sad.

I was talking more about unwrap causing a panic rather than calling the actual panic macro directly. Rust forces the programmer to deal with bad or ambiguous results, and what that is exactly is entirely decided by the function you are calling. If a function decides to return None when (system timer mod 2 == 0), then you'd better check for None in your code. Edit: otherwise your code is ending now with a panic, as opposed to your code merrily trotting down the path of undefined behaviour and a segfault or similar later on.

Once you get to a point where we are doing the actual panic, well, that is starting to just be semantics.

causing the program to crash if it actually was an error, restoring the more unsafe behavior of other languages.

Wellllll it's more of an abrupt exit rather than a crash, which is still better than eg. silently accessing beyond the end of an array, or ending up with a pointer to nowhere when you thought you had a sane memory reference.

Engine start, hold down clamps released, cleared the launch tower (juuust), I give this rocket launch 3.5/10, definite room for improvement.

An old Falcon Ute is overkill.

A Renault tinyVan is acceptable and much more suitable to the task than your average tradie BlingMobile.

Falcon utes are getting harder to find these days as well.

Their algorithms are not safe for children. Self-reinforcing rabbit holes that easily drift to topics that can cause developing personalities to believe that the torrent of AI slop, drama-for-clicks, general propaganda (see: the ads mentioned), and blatant manipulation of our monkey-brain base instincts is what the world is actually about.

Hell, there's a good case to be made that they're not safe for adults too.

Having said that , there is about a thousand watts per square metre of insolation coming in from the Sun on the exterior of the craft, just like there is here on the ground on Earth.

I guess the Apollo designers figured it was easier to insulate and heat the cabin than absorb heat and then try and cool it.

Dunno why...

It's lifted directly from a statement from one of the injured parties.

Welllll actually they used the word "traumatising", but that's the reason quotes are used in headlines like this, they are quoting someone involved.

It's ok, that 1500 watt output is only for a microsecond before all the 3 cent "power" MOSFETs inside act as fuses.

More likely, there is enough internal capacitance for the inverter to sustain one (1) half of a full-wave AC cycle at 1500W, after which the overload/low voltage cutout triggers.
