The problem with a de facto standard is that the implementers can break or change it on a whim. A standard like POSIX sh is implemented and supported in bash, zsh, and several other shells. Don't come crying to me if you write a bunch of scripts for your customer's site only to have them break in an upgrade 2 years from now.
bash is some made-up incompatible GNU-ism. You should stick with POSIX standard shell (sh). There are several POSIX compliant implementations and using correct Sh syntax insures your scripts can work in more than a single environment.
Lazarus gets you the Object Pascal derived syntax from Turbo Pascal and Delphi, and provides an IDE available on multiple platforms. I've had zero problems installing it on several systems, mostly for quick and dirty projects where I didn't necessarily want to use C.
RISC-V's specification is a lot more flexible and permits a wider range of variants on capabilities in implementations than OpenSPARC. I've worked on 32-bit RISC-V based microcontrollers embedded in ASICs, and theoretically you can put together a multiprocessor 64-bit RISC-V with advanced features such as speculative execution.
I think that RISC-V has a pretty good future because it is a specification rather than a single implementation. There are multiple implementations, some of them are open source. And it can cover a broad enough range of needs to suit multiple industries. For research RISC-V is interesting because how to add extension instructions to it is well defined and the toolchain is easy to set up with your custom extensions.
EVs would probably help air quality in cities that have smog problems like Los Angeles and Silicon Valley / San Jose. But those cities primarily have issues because of their geography and how layers of air move (or don't move), and even wood smoke from fireplaces is a problem in those places.
I agree that on a large scale, it's not clear if advantages outweigh the disadvantages. But I can think of very specific locations were human health would benefit if EVs were mandated.
The auto industry is the one that is treating cars like smartphones in terms of packing them full of gadgets that have little to do with driving. A 3-5 year old car is now a joke that nobody wants, and often times the connectors for gadgets are no longer compatible with current gadgets. In many ways your used car is obsolete and things are going to get worse, not better.
I can tell you it takes a very short time to port a simple kernel/microkernel/nanokernel to a new architecture. Some of the kernels we deal with in the industry have been brought over to entirely new CPU architectures as a proof of concept over a weekend. So that someone at Google got a hankering for some porting work is not surprising, but it's not likely a terrible amount of effort either. (still cool work though)
While there are professional Haskell programs, there are lots of amateur projects on github that don't get much love from the authors. There is certainly a real effort to filter out the many small and insignificant projects, I feel that someone learning Haskell that is a bit obsessed with lots of small git commits can create a large enough commit history to get through the survey's attempts to gather statistics on different languages.
Basically I think the differences between the languages can be explained by the differences in the behavior of the people who are drawn to those languages.
A moderately experienced programmer with a methodical approach should be able to write code with few bugs and detect and address those bugs quickly, no matter which language they use. Of course carefully writing your web blog back-end in Brainfuck is a lot more work than doing it in PHP and I'd expect it to take a lot longer time. In terms of quality it's hard to quantify it based on language alone, except perhaps in very large projects with many contributors.
NY and CA are where 18.25% of the population of the US live, that's significant.Those two states combined are 19.1% of the US's GDP. Throw in a big state like Texas and you find combined they go past a quarter of the total population.
1. There is no federal law that requires a person or organization accept currency or coins as payments for goods or services. 2. Coins are legal tender. See Title 31 (Money and Finance), Subtitle IV (Money), Chapter 51 (Coins and Currency), Subchapter I (Monetary System), Section 5103 (Legal Tender) of the United States Code.
If you have a written contract and do not specify the form the payment must take, then US currency must be accepted.
When you purchase something, the contract is immediately resolved when the conditions are met by each party. If one condition is that the shop owner tells you you must pay with a credit card, then you can refuse the service or leave the good.
If they really didn't post a sign anywhere sayings "NO CASH" then you can press the legal tender issue for services that are already rendered. Because even if they took you to small claims court, you can pay cash if you lose. If services are already rendered, but they did tell you several times "NO CASH", then I'm not sure what they can do about it. (they probably should have asked for the non-cash payment up front)
Broadly over a large population those statistics are useful. We can overall lower the healthcare costs in our country if people took better care of themselves.
For individuals there are factors where simply healthy living doesn't resolve. There are diabetics who are not obese, but still have the costs associated with conditions typical of diabetics. There are people born with congenital disorders such as CAH and PCOS that causes them chronic problems throughout life.
Ideally I'd like to see both. But we need both cultural changes and political changes before that can happen.

Is this your first time using web sites? It's all shit.

A rich white guy with powerful friends going to prison? Call me a skeptic.
That hardly seems fair, because I struggled for years to get MINIX drivers for my WiFi chipset.
It's a bit like saying that because Apple abandoned headphone jacks that the rest of the mobile phone industry will follow suit.
Let those hackers try and get into my system now!

This is truly a sign of the End Times.

Soylent Green is the most popular because it tastes better than the plankton-based Soylent Red and Soylent Yellow.
