Although I cannot comment on this specifically for Rust, what I would confidently say is that one of the best methods for finding the “best” dependencies in any language is to read lots of code. Find the popular and/or most useful projects written in the language on GitHub and see which dependencies that project uses and how they are used. At least in my career this method has served me well. For a given problem domain I was able to quickly identify the best/most popular packages to use by reading the code that was heavily used by others. Obviously the more you do this the easier it becomes.

How do you define what an appropriate per capita CO2 budget is? Is it different for someone from China, India, and the US? What about the difference between individuals from rural agricultural communities vs a large city? If non-western countries have the 'right' to increase carbon emissions why don't poorer people in Western countries have the 'right' to increase their emissions?

What is the target level for developing economics? How does it make sense to mandate Western countries go to net-zero while all developing countries continue to dramatically increase per capita emissions?

Since it would be impossible to force China or India to meet the same standards the West self-imposes in this scenario, you are essentially asking Western individuals to pay a higher cost of living for NO net carbon reductions. This mandate will disproportionately affect poor people.

As a result I don't see how anyone expects radical carbon reduction policies to receive support from the Western world. I do not see how this is a rational course of action for an individual voter or for any developed economy.

The CIA has a history of spying on Congress[0], overthrowing democratic governments [1], among a long list of nefarious activities I would not consider proper "democratic hacking." [2]

How is obligating big tech to cooperate with Western intelligence agencies a positive move for democracies?

Solar panels do come at an environmental cost, particularly in developing economies with little environmental regulation.

RHEL is an LTS distro. Red Hat also develops Fedora as a bleeding edge distro, and there is plenty of innovation going on there.

An additional problem is one of economic calculation. Mises argued one hundred years ago that a planned economy where the state owns the means of production and arbitrarily sets prices without an open market to determine prices by supply and demand would result in economic waste and shortages. He was largely proven right by the disastrous Soviet experience.

There is so much work and planning that goes on between the utilities and regulatory agencies to ensure we almost always have reliable electrical supply. Traditional plants have planned outages for regular maintenance, and they are constantly working to ensure there are enough backup systems and alternate routes to ensure there are not outages even during maintenance windows. The amount of cars and the amount of extra grid you would have to build to completely replace these traditional plants would be prohibitively expensive. It's not just a matter of plugging a few million cars into homes.

Even if the expensive infrastructure was put in place to allow electric car batteries to be used as a peak load reservoir, utilities would still need to maintain traditional on demand resources, such as natural gas fired power plants. Using a large number of cars is not dependable, utilities need on demand dependability. What happens if during peak consumption in the evening winter months more people stay out late (such as on New Years Eve) and most people park in places where there's no way to plug in? This would only add to overall infrastructure costs, adding a huge bidirectional grid in addition to traditional power sources that must be maintained year round for on demand use.

VSCode and the dotnet cli tooling fill this role on Linux. The tools are consistent across all three platforms.

My understanding from a talk at Ignite 2017 is that certain OS functionality (like some Windows Updates) use it, and that it would get more official support later...but nothing I can find yet, so as you say for the developer it's still an undocumented 'experimental' feature. Hopefully this has changed in the latest build, I will have to look more.

Sorry for the delayed response. As paulddraper there is no official doctrine on evolution, but Mormons do not believe in "Creatio ex nihilo" or that the creation of the earth was literally a seven day period. The "days" of the creation story are meant to mean periods of time, and we do not fully understand how God created the earth or that evolution was not necessarily a part of it. Mormons do not accept a lot of the "standard" Christian teachings on creation that actually stem from the Greek/Roman philosophical influence in early Christianity and not from scripture. Our official doctrine encourages us to seek to learn and understand the will and processes of God through science in addition to spiritual experiences.

"Latter-day Saints should strive to use both science and religion to extend knowledge and to build faith." "Is there any conflict between science and religion? There is no conflict in the mind of God, but often there is conflict in the minds of men." http://en.fairmormon.org/Mormonism_and_science/Are_they_comp...

Mormon and long time lurker here. Just wanted to give clarity to this because it can be confusing. Mormons don't believe they are forcibly baptizing these people by proxy. They believe that everyone should have the opportunity to accept baptism and salvation through Jesus Christ, even if they did not receive the opportunity in the mortal stage of life: "Individuals can then choose to accept or reject what has been done in their behalf."
