Re:Europe's largest carbon capture facility opens in Netherlands

It's not a carbon capture facility, it's an ammonia (fertilizer) factory. They will capture the CO2 resulted from the chemical process.
Re:Quantum Computers Are Not a Threat to 128-Bit Symmetric Keys
on Monday April 20, 2026 @04:19PM (#47839956)
On one hand I hear that quantum computers will crack factorisation and discrete logarithms, on the other that the max number factorised is 15 and that 21 might not even be feasible.
What is going on?

I saw some articles saying that Intel saw the market very well, they just could not deliver and rather than admit that, they claimed the CEO decided wrong.

I think NM translation was broken all along. Not in the neural network part but in choosing the right answer. https://aclanthology.org/2020.coling-main.398.pdf

We, humankind managed to get a good optimisation for this problem by using spaces between words.
When trying these algorithms for searching a word in a string of text, I was surprised how little they could improve vs just skipping to the next word.
Re:Dada, an Experiement by the Creators of Rust

Given that the GitHub repo is almost three years old, I expect Martin Fowler to already have Dada Patterns, Refactoring in Dada, Dada Distilled, Dada DSL and Dada Best Practices ready to publish.

Tried it and it feels slow. I opened a Rust project and after a long wait to index crates, I opened a file and deleted a commented line. It took a few seconds to display the annotations again.
While waiting, I did some work in neovim.

Tokio uses a pool of threads for disk I/O because it uses the synchronous calls of the operating system.

That explanation irks me a lot because it implies Eratosthenes knew the Sun was so far away, the rays reaching the earth are practically parallel. And while it might sound a like a detail, the whole calculation depends on it.
If you presume the Earth is flat and the Sun not that far away, Eratosthenes was calculating the distance to the Sun.

If the Pareto principle is always true, just keep on firing 80% of the remaining engineers until the company runs without developers.

Can anyone speculate why there's so much crypto using Rust as opposed to everybody else? I am afraid crypto will end up giving Rust a bad name.
