You may want to compare the emissions of all rockets annually to the emissions of jet planes daily and reconsider your position.

I see you haven’t read the paper. How long do you think Kessler syndrome is projected to take? How long do you think natural clearing of debris at Starlink’s altitudes is?

Airlines are already springing for Starlink and can’t charge their customers for it.

Stop trying to make Kessler syndrome a thing - it was never a thing, it isn’t a thing, it will never be a thing.

It is just pearl clutching by those too afraid of modern life. Gravity wasn’t a documentary.

Given what they are talking about (mollusk tongue scraping rock) tensile strength is appropriate. The mollusk does f crush food between teeth - its teeth are on its tongue and scraped across rock.

Perhaps this is one place AI could prove very helpful - automating the synchronization of forks with their parents while keeping the changes that constitute the actual fork. Or perhaps something other than forking is needed that is more diff based so you have a view of the source overlaid with the fork and the parts unchanged flow through. At least until something like Bun’s change from Zig to Rust blows your fork up completely.

That goal doesn’t imply verbosity is necessary- just a style thing which is contrary to its goal of being a better C, given verbosity is the opposite of most C.

“better safety than Zig while losing compatibility with C” doesn’t seem as compelling a story to me.

You shouldn’t be panning or pinch to zoom, etc while driving. You should be following a route which you can setup with your phone.

When that car and any replacement are 20 years old you might see the point.

Imagine a new popular music streaming service (Tidal?) came out tomorrow - when will it be supported on your phone? When will your car support it, if ever?
