It has to be. The truck is made from uncoated stainless steel, which can develop small amounts of rust-like corrosion, but absolutely nothing of this fashion.

That's..... Not how new steel production works.

Coal is a significant component in the production of steel to impregnate it with carbon. It's a fundamental part of how a blast furnace operates. The article literally talks about this...

Even the article about doesn't mention an alternative. An arc furnace relies on scrap it cannot make new steel.

Though, I wonder if we can move more towards charcoals, but even then I wonder if that's just much less effective or if it cannot reach the temperatures or concentrations required for industrial processes.

Making it extremely hard to actually find professional content because Reddit tends to cater to the lowest common denominator and most professional subs tend to corrupt over time.

Damn, that's just cancerous

Garlic gross misunderstanding of software development, especially in large organizations.

Ignorant opinions only speedrun.

I love this.

Especially being written in a language like C#. Which makes it incredibly accessible to work on, performant, and long-lasting.

I fail to see the claim that the article is false and misleading?

It sounds like what it states is what it is. Replace the phrase "currently has" with "didn't" and your issue evaporates.

Which seems like unfair criticism given that the present or past tensing of an article's statements are dependent on when it was written and is a rather fluid and interpretable thing. It's a reasonable expectation that readers can understand and adjust their perspective of past vs present tense without failing to understand what the article is conveying...

Especially to such a degree where the confusion from the past tense versus present tense of a statement is great enough to be considered "false and misleading"...

That's some serious "privatized profits, socialized losses" deal with thames water

Straight to the personal attacks, I'm sure this can only end well.

This is not how you promote a project..

It is, but also it's worrisome since it means support is harder, which means risk of abandonment is higher and community contributions lower. Which means "buying in" is riskier for the time investment.

Not really criticizing, 10/10 points on making something and then putting it out there, nothing wrong with that. Just being a user who's seen too many projects become stale or abandoned, and have noticed that the trend has some correlation to the technology choices those projects made.

Your commenting on an extremist community where logic doesn't actually matter anymore.

This is a community that started from pointing out serious problems and talking about how they might be solved, to not actually caring about how to solve the problems and just hating and being polarized.

You are 100% correct because using this term is not going to help figure out realistic ways to solve the problem. It's just going to do what fringe groups do, and make actual solutions impossible to start with. Thus perpetuating the problems the fringe group hates, it's their identity, they can't go without it.

Not only does it prevent solutions but it actually pushes out allies and others who are also passionate about the problem because "they aren't extreme enough". (This is me, I despise this problem and want to support anything I can that aims for actual solutions)

I look forward to all the hate spam, downvotes, and the comments. Which would be no different than if I actually commented on a Nazi community pointing out hypocrisy.

If y'all want to actually solve this problem then extreme, generalized, non-logical, blind-hate, stances aren't going to do it. You're literally becoming a sibling of neo-nazis with this, and you're weakening your own position, and alienating your support, by being extremists about it.
