The standard response from the Rust team is that Rust should match or beat non-SIMD C++ performance and if it doesn't, you should file a bug.

Note: The first thing anybody will ask when you complain about Rust being slow is whether you compiled with optimizations turned on (`cargo build --release`) since it tends to make a 10-15x difference.
I usually get on the road when surge goes up past 2x.

So considering I am 1 person, and 1 person is more than 0, surge pricing does put more drivers on the road.

Does that prove surge pricing is "fair?" No. And you should always assume a company is operating int their best interest. This is why competition is important.

cython community can definitely use some love -- there's a ton of low-hanging fruit (unboxing arrays of extension classes, for example) they haven't gotten to because of time / funding constraints.

Not an apples to apples comparison, but my guess is the state of the art of JIT is way ahead of what the cython compiler can detect; some of the JIT tricks will likely work in the cython static translation step.

>“You Greeks are children.” That’s what an Egyptian priest is supposed to have said to a visiting Greek in the 6th century BC.

I don't know what the need is to be vague. According to Plato, this was said to Solon immediately preceding the story of Atlantis.

"Thereupon one of the priests, who was of a very great age, said: O Solon, Solon, you Hellenes are never anything but children, and there is not an old man among you. Solon in return asked him what he meant. I mean to say, he replied, that in mind you are all young; there is no old opinion handed down among you by ancient tradition, nor any science which is hoary with age. And I will tell you why. There have been, and will be again, many destructions of mankind arising out of many causes; the greatest have been brought about by the agencies of fire and water, and other lesser ones by innumerable other causes. There is a story, which even you have preserved, that once upon a time Paethon, the son of Helios, having yoked the steeds in his father's chariot, because he was not able to drive them in the path of his father, burnt up all that was upon the earth, and was himself destroyed by a thunderbolt. Now this has the form of a myth, but really signifies a declination of the bodies moving in the heavens around the earth, and a great conflagration of things upon the earth, which recurs after long intervals; at such times those who live upon the mountains and in dry and lofty places are more liable to destruction than those who dwell by rivers or on the seashore."

I agree, the giant lie is the problem.

It has taken me a fair amount of travel; getting repeatedly lured in to tourist destinations based on the amazingly beautiful and serene photos of them to realize that it is all a lie and to try to plan my vacations around avoiding that lie. Two situations really stand out in my mind:

The first was at a tiger temple in Thailand, where the monks would run tourists through a photo assembly line of sorts. They would have all of the tigers out at specified times of the day in a controlled area, the tour bus arrives, everyone files out in a single file line, one monk takes your camera out of your hand while another leads you around to the various tigers that are setup in photogenic poses while the first snaps a photo with each of them, and then leads you out.

The second was at Antelope Canyon in Arizona. All of the tourists get loaded in to an off-road bus and driven to the entrance of the canyon. Because it is such a narrow and twisting path through the canyon, they are able to shove huge numbers of people through while allowing everyone to get the perfect shot. When I was there it was before Instagram, but the guides would go so far as tell everyone the proper f-stop and shutter speed to capture each photo correctly as they tossed dust up in to the rays of light piercing the canyon, or put sand up on a ledge to get the photos of it cascading off. Then they would hold each group back for a few minutes until the group ahead cleared out of the shot.

It was a cattle call in both experiences but the photos represent an experience completely unlike what actually happened. I have learned that when vacationing, you are much better off going to the "second rate" destination if you actually want to enjoy anything. Just a few miles from Antelope Canyon is another slot canyon called Water Holes Canyon that was only 70% as impressive as Antelope Canyon, but we were the only people there and could explore it however we wanted!

Once you know about the lie, it's easy enough to avoid, but sometimes the pull to get that shot is still strong. The picture of me with the tiger is pretty damn impressive!
Not as strongly. The main issue is, for all the cheap talk that comes out of the government, the fact is that spending (on many things, but especially infrastructure) is divided into London (plenty of money) and the rest ("maybe some of what's left, and you provincials better be grateful").
It's not my responsibility to "fix" things that can't be fixed like greed and hate and violence from centuries ago. I don't believe there is a governmental social program that can fix it either.

The only thing I can do is try my best to be a good and fair and kind person in the time I'm in now. I can't atone for what assholes centuries ago did even if I wanted to.

This collective blame assignment is the same kind of evil thinking that led to someone trying to wipe out a race in the first place.
I tried react playground on my phone. I think only a single example worked correctly... why would they put it on their showcase?
I'm so sorry. Like many others, I'd like to thank you for your ideas, passion and generosity. The world is a better place because of you.
Stop with this "because." Of course! Because OS X and Windows are made deliberately as popular operating systems. The "duh" bell just isn't loud enough, is it?

The old saying that Linux is for geek, and other OSes are for regular computer user is still quite true. The truth is, half of the time I don't touch the root of OS X. Why would I need to. I use brew to install my git, I am good. Similarly I don't modify my Ubuntu workstation unless I have a reason to. I can't remember the last time I needed to edit anything really special to get my Mac customized or let along attaching a debugger to a running process on Mac. Well my work doesn't involve troubleshooting Mac software so there is no incentive. I spend more time on customizing my VIM then customizing my OS X.

So back to reality, please use what fits your desire and your mileage. I just need a computer in a Linux-like environment so I can navigate shit around and complete my work on a nice polished computer.

It wouldn't be hard to make a product that works 90% of the time. The problem is making a product that is extremely reliable, working 99.99999% of the time. When it comes to GPS car tracking, the system needs to work all the time, so I imagine getting those 5 9s is damn hard.
I had one of these are a kid, around 10 or 11 years old. I did a few of the experiments, soaked up all the knowledge I could get out of the limited documentation, and then didn't touch it for a long time. When I got into electronics again (and for real this time) at around age 17, all of that knowledge amazingly still stuck to me. I had to look up how to actually wire transistors to be useful, but I remembered how they operated, and what they were capable of (except for the book didn't cover amplification). This is one of the reasons why I think kids should be exposed to as much as possible. Even if they drop it later, if they ever pick it back up, they will be significantly more prepared, and hopefully can learn the rest on their own

I think you may be underestimating how easy some old cars were to steal. Alarms aren't perfect, but they're noisy and paranoia inducing. In some cases starting an old car could have been a matter of opening the door with a clothes hanger (these things weren't sealed too tight), pulling out the key thing, moving it aside and using a coin or something to turn the ignition.

They were also worth something. It just isn't as easy in most places to flog a stolen car. At least not factoring for inflation or something, I guess. The economics of crime shift just like everything else.

Sometimes stuff police or politicians or somesuch do helps too. Anything is possible.
If the Debian people don't want to include Go for some logistical or religious or religiously logistical reason, that's fine with me. I don't think people should run critical infrastructure from Debian releases --- when things go wrong, you want to be prepared to patch source on a moment's notice, rather than waiting for the upstream synchronization dance --- but hardly anyone seems to agree with me on that, either.

But I notice you didn't respond to my SNMP point, which is disappointing, because I was hoping that at least some fake Internet points might accrue to my otherwise fruitless efforts at implementing SNMP from scratch three separate fucking times. Can I at least be rewarded for that by winning a dumb message board argument!?

Even if it didn't have the "cops look at me!" paintjob, no offense to the Internet Archive people but it doesn't really look like a nice enough truck to even be worth the effort of dismantling for parts (as opposed to just scrapping it), much less repainting it and keeping it around.
The arguments against it are usually that it is too bloated, too slow, makes use of templates and exceptions.

So any place that is against templates and exceptions, usually rules out the standard library on those arguments.

Then you have the software houses, whose C++ code is actually C with a C++ compiler that use the bloat and slow arguments against the library.

I don't remember them by heart, but there were a couple CppCon 2014 talks where this type of arguments was discussed.
The focus will be on personal vehicles, not freight. It's unclear to me how they expect to handle cars with trailers, as I don't think current EVs can tow caravans or horse/boat trailers with adequate range.

However, as for freight, large cities have been working for a decade to get heavy trucks out of the inner city. Delft and Amsterdam have several distribution points on the outside of the city, and the last-mile delivery is done with electric vehicles like [1].

I respect that. I don't know if I have a specific suggestion on how you can run leaner, but look for ways to sell/trade what few assets you control for cash.

When I was trying to learn to code, I was an undergrad with literally no money, but I had a prepaid college meal plan my parents had bought me. So I ate one meal a day for a month and sold off my extra meals at a discount for cash to buy coding books.

For example, if your van runs, I can think of several possibilities, especially if you don't need it during the day (i.e. drive to a library or somewhere where you can work for free all day and then you've got a HUGE asset available to work out trades and deals all day every day).

Alex St John's Ideas About Game Development Are Terrifying
Perhaps the better argument would be that these players (i.e. generally the best players on the court at any given time, whomever they were playing), don't really fit the normal positions. In fact, as I pointed out above, the modern NBA has really broken down positional play. At one time you would have a point guard at the arc, distributing to a shooting guard for the outside shot, a strong forward or center to drive the basket or a small forward to move it to one of those players. Michael Jordan broke that mold in a time where that mold was still dominating tactical thinking.

In the past 5-10 years, however, the game has come to rely on a mobile, smaller player. Draymond Green and Kawhi Leonard are good examples. The screen play, one of the most popular plays in modern basketball, requires both players be able to shoot, since who shoots is dependent on which player the defender pivots to. In addition, these players become important defensively important because of their ability to quickly react to fast movement of the ball. It's not coincidence that both of the players I listed are considered top defenders, despite playing forward. Kawahi Leonard has won defensive player of the year twice, and that award is dominated by centers and, to a lesser extent, guards.
And now watch for a glut of 'Choose your Own Adventure'-style books on KU.

man xcode-select - It's right there in the manpage.

/usr/bin/git is a "toolshim" that effectively calls "xcrun git" (it actually calls xcselect_invoke_xcrun, from /usr/lib/libxcselect.dylib, if you really want the details - this can be found by inspecting the binary). xcode-select's manpage tells you that these shims call the respective binary in the active developer directory, whereas xcrun's manpage describes its capabilities in more detail.

It took about 3 minutes to figure out.
I don't particularly remember, or particularly care, I just remembered the "hack" such as it is, and how it highlights the inherent flaw I'm talking about in these proxy metrics.

The issue is that the platform uses "minutes listened" or "pages read" as a proxy for "interest" or "value brought to the platform". Because these proxies are measured poorly, lazily, or have exploitable loopholes some content creators suffer for it.

In you specific example, Vulfpeck literally is taking money out of the pockets of their fellow content creators. There's a set amount of money in each payout pot. If they have their fans game the system to take a larger share than their "genuine" content would merit them then isn't that almost theft? Of course I don't really take issue with that. I take issue with the spotty (ha, get it) system that enables such behaviour.
Tribes wiped each other out from time to time. Native tribes did at as well as pale tribes coming over in boats.
