In addition, the size of patches can also vary quite a lot on what the author considers a "thing". Some developers fix multiple things at once, while some others think every nut and bolt should be it's own separate commit
A total shift to electric vehicles in less than 20 years sounds quite optimistic if I'm being honest. Not signing something you know you can't meet sounds like a fair choice.
Which is why I covered them in my comment about CHP, which recoups a large portion of those "losses". Either way other power sources also require logistic challenges and/or big equipment installs to use, so it isn't exactly 1:1 comparison.
I feel this is a bit disingenuous, because using the same logic burning wood is thousands of % effective, or even ∞% if the system only uses convection, making heat pumps seem like a poor choice even when they're perfectly valid.
>Except it is still direct electrical heating which is atrociously inefficient.
Electric heating converts practically all energy into heat, making it ~100% efficient. You can make statements about cost-effectiveness compared to burning things, but not all houses can.
CHP configurations are more common in colder climates with district heating, so their "waste" heat during generation often isn't wasted at all.
I don't think this argument makes any sense. Just because there can be better uses for additional clean energy, does not make the additional energy any less clean.
By this definition, no source is clean, because there are always "better uses" for energy.
I feel the obvious solution wouldn't be to handicap your own product, but simply sell the same processors cheaper when they stop selling.
I've never heard of farmers who intentionally make their produce worse before selling it, they simply sell it cheaper if there isn't enough demand. If you make a lot of houses that don't end up popular, do you go and smash the roof and take away the plumbing, or sell the same house at a lower price?
Not to mention the damage to the service providers that have their other clients affected because of this. Besides, if someone robs you, would the prosecutor handwave it away saying it's fine because they only got $20
I feel Rust offers several strong points whilst actually being performant and widespread enough to be in the kernel. I doubt you absolutely _need_ to know both to work on specific parts written in either
