A link to the project would have been helpful: https://github.com/edubart/nelua-lang

Initially I was going to dismiss it as a cool pet project for someone but not really likely to get any traction given the competition in the space–but there are a lot of people who are going to learn Lua as their first language through things like Roblox and other games, so I could actually see it grow as people who already know Lua move out of games and are looking for speed with familiar syntax.

That said, not for me. There are plenty of other languages out there I’m more likely to reach for.

This is such a municipal issue it’s annoying to see the Province wanting to butt in in the first place.

I hear you. My last phone was an ancient Xperia from about eight years ago–but I finally needed to get a new one. I love most everything Sony is doing with the Xperia series, and I would have gotten another. But the update guarantee was so abysmal I just couldn’t do it. So now I have a Pixel which I think is worst in design in a lot of ways. But at least it will be updated. (And can run GrapheneOS).

…which is much lower than the average values for a debit transaction or PayPal

It takes, what, about five minutes to fuel up a gasoline powered vehicle. Optimistically, in ten years time on a fast charger, 20 minutes for an electric? So theoretically, to maintain the current flow rates on highly trafficked routes (like the 401 from Montreal to Toronto), during peak hours, vehicles need to be stopped at a service station for at least four times as long as they currently are now. It’s also slightly over a 500km long drive, so unless you’re really playing chicken with range you will need to stop at least once (I could be wrong, but I believe most gas powered vehicles can do around 600km range at 120km/h?). I wonder what the land-use requirements will be to charge those vehicles – Walmart parking lots beside the highway may begin to make a killing if they lean into it.

For me, unless my landlord suddenly decides to spend a tonne of money to furnish the first-come, first-serve outdoor parking lot at my building with electric chargers, it’ll be a hybrid after that date (unless I’m rennovicted before then). I wonder if someone is liable for the tripping hazard of extension cords running out the front door and across the sidewalk to street parking.

Obviously I’m being a bit silly and sarcastic here, but the wholly electric by 2035 scheme seems half-baked based on the assumption everyone lives in single family homes and that the amount of intercity travel will decrease in aggregate by then. Rather than say, increasing taxes year on year for gasoline powered ownership and then some heavy investment into things like high speed rail, cycling infrastructure, trams, etc. The solution to cars are too polluting doesn’t have to be the same number or more cars . . .
