  • And then there's the sad story of Melbourne's Waverley Park, a large stadium which they built in an area with no decent public transport. What happens when you build Melbourne's largest stadium with >100,000 capacity, and also a large but inadequate 25,000 car spots and no usable public transport?

    It was never filled since they simply couldn't get enough people to it. Also even then it apparently took hours just to get out of the parking lot after a game. It ended up failing as a stadium and being converted into housing years later.

  • It's also a fallacy that rust code is memory safe. I audited a couple of large rust projects and found that they both had tens of unsafe constructs. I presume other projects are similar.

    You can't use "unsafe" and then claim that your program's memory safe. It may be "somewhat safe-ish" but claiming that your code is safe because you carefully reviewed your unsafe sections leaves you on the same shaky ground as c++, where they also claim that they carefully review their code.

  • It's already been addressed in Linux - not sure about other OSes. They doubled the size of time data so now you can keep using it until after the heat death of the universe. If you're around then.

  • You appear to be arguing that even if microplastics are present in the environment it's not a problem. That's a brave stance to take given the wealth of information to the contrary.

    Even if they did break down it's bad. Plastics have additives in them which are used to improve their material properties. These additives include BPA and PFAS (and similar). We know that these compounds cause problems in humans and the environment. So if they were "easily digestible by the body" that would absolutely be a big problem.

    There's no world in which "nothing will be harmed" by plastic decaying. Some people even argue that conventional plastics are less dangerous in landfill than bioplastics because at least they don't release dangerous by-products like microplastics or "forever chemicals".
