Licenses for sublime text 2 just said "and future updates". I remember the "lifetime" thing being a selling point on producthunt. This was back in 2013 though, and the weird way the licensing change was handled made me switch to emacs.

Before sublime text 3 all updates were included in the single license, not just major revision updates. This was back in 2013.

Before the one license=one version switch in 2013 the license stated "and future updates" which they did, but they switched to needing to pay for new licenses for some reason. I remember that being the primary reason I switched to emacs.

After having been shafted by sublime text I will never believe anything called a "lifetime subscription" is such.

A "lifetime subscription" is just a "until we decide otherwise" subscription

Again from my experience, knowing lisp (yay guix and emacs) definitely helps me write more elegant code in every language.

I also have to explain almost every single thing I write in code review.

Seems like Linus isn't onboard with this.

To the contrary:

it would require kernel developers to be savvy in both C and Rust

From my experience knowing how both C and rust works makes you a better developer in both languages.

Did somebody say "provably correct"?

None! My comment may be misunderstood.

If you're of my generation you kind of grew up being told fusion energy was the holy grail of energy production as it's clean and doesn't produce a bunch of radioactive byproduct. (Stuff like SimCity etc. made fusion reactors seem like a miracle technology)

In reality fusion also produces a massive amount of radiation and radiative byproducts, so it's not the holy grail of energy that I think most people might assume it is.

Fusion and Fission are two sides of the same coin, so fusion experiments are important because they aid in making fission reactors safe as well!

I'm especially looking forward to seeing how material scientists attempt to solve the massive fast neutron radiation that fusion reactors produce, as Thorium reactors have the same issue.

The primary issue is that deuterium-deuterium reactions (the only practical fusion process that seems to work is deuterium-tritium and deuterium-helium, as you need insane temperatures for proton-boron, so in any realistic reactor deuterium will end up reacting with itself) produce 3 times the radiation of equivalent power output from fission reactions, so you need MASSIVE amounts of shielding for a reactor to run for an extended period of time.

This also highly irradiates the materials inside the reactors themselves, to a degree that maintenance requires built-in robots because the inside of the reactor is too radioactive for humans (this also eventually destroys the robots). The most optimistic estimates for how long a reactor could possibly last is 100 years. At that point the entire reactor would need to be torn down and buried because most of the components would be too radioactive to use anymore. At which point you have the exact same issue as radioactive waste storage, but no recycling process for something crazy like a radioactive isotope of silicon.

However! That's why these experiments are important! As every advancement they make towards making fusion safe, also makes fission safer, as they're two sides of the same coin.

And America is taking everyone with them.
