"C with a bit of ML sprinkled in" is IMO quite an understatement. ML is all over the place.

Personally i would have been happier if Rust had become "C with only the borrow checker and nothing else".But the community decided differently, and that's OK too.

I'm a low level guy (embedded and systems stuff) and what i would hate in our codebase is if look at line of code and find x numbers of concepts in it.

Nevertheless i applaud what you and the Rust community achieved, but my impression is that you'll be going the C++ way. Why? I follow the discussions of the Rust community about the future of the language, and there's always this "if we only add this one more feature" (for example see discussion about GC).

P.S.:
For everyone saying "just use the features you need", no, this won't work. If they are available, people will (a)use them (see C++).

Edit: Typo.
> Regardless of the number of immigrants you think should be allowed in, none of those should be illegal.

The obvious technical solution is to greatly increase the number of legal immigration slots--boom, problem solved, everyone now has legal status.

Unfortunately this solution would not change the conversation. Why? Because most anti-immigration folks are not concerned about protecting immigrants from exploitation, they are concerned about Mexicans and Muslims. A bunch of legal Mexicans moving into their town is no better to them than a bunch of illegal Mexicans.

In fact they prefer to keep the system the broken way it is now, because it gives them a "rule of law" fig leaf to place over their racism.
Your point is well taken.
But how can the state redistribute wealth to the needy without paternalism?
What makes a gridded layout have smaller blocks? I live in a gridded layout and I have a large backyard, as do all those in my suburb. And when I compare with the suburbs with the cul-de-sac layout I see their backyards are smaller! This is in Australia, and maybe it's different where you are, but there is nothing in the grid layout stopping larger blocks.

On your second point I wouldn't dismiss the articles argument completely. Where I live there are often children playing in the street. Games of football and cricket. Kids skateboarding and roller skating. Cars drive quite slowly because it tends to be local traffic. With all the stop signs it's far more efficient for cars to traverse the suburb on one of the arterial roads, so most of the traffic drives out of the grid to get anywhere.

When I find myself driving in cul-de-sac suburbs I find I get frustrated and tend to drive faster, because getting where I am going is a huge convoluted drive. Where I want to go is literally 200 meters away and to get there I have to drive 3 km. It's very frustrating.

"ecdh. which all the standard curves appear to be backdoored"

This is a pretty serious assertion to make as a throwaway comment. You're talking about the NIST sponsored constants suspected of being backdoored. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_EC_DRBG https://safecurves.cr.yp.to/ )

That's the reason Curve22519 (defined by djb, completely independent of any NIST involvement) has become popular and is being widely used as default in major ECDH implementations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve25519 ). As close to a "standard" as you'd find today that nobody believes to have known weaknesses or backdoors.
Marco Rubio tried that, everyone mocked him.
> They don't deserve to be important, instead of ignoring them people need to be willing to say that this is unacceptable and their ideas are not welcome.

Which is a better way to show someone that they are not important:

* Ignoring them
* Giving their views countless press in order to discredit them

I agree that calling out racism is important, but when it's just people spouting nonsense in their own little corner of the Internet why give that any attention.

> They are promoting it themselves, loudly, and trying to inject their ideas into mainstream political discourse

Something they have been trying to do since basically forever. However they can only successfully inject themselves when other people allow it.

Have a look at this basic timeline:

Internet: Pepe the frog is fun

Racists: Pepe the frog now belongs to us

Internet: Nah, Pepe's not racist.

Clinton: Pepe the frog belongs to racists

Internet: Nah, Pepe's not racist.

Question: In this scenario, who gave racists control of Pepe the frog and who allowed racists to inject themselves in to this part of mainstream culture? (Hint: it was not the racists and it was not the Internet).

> I can give you links to explicitly racist sites

This is exactly what I was talking about. In your fervor to show how horrible these people are, you are willing to promote these sites yourself...

I don't care for those sites any more than I care for sites promoting flat-earth science and/or UFOs. I know they exist, but I ignore them completely, which is exactly the attention they deserve.

Free trade agreements are negotiations where the countries involved make concessions in order to balance out their exchanges. When UK will go out in the world to make FTAs, it will have to make a lot of concessions, probably more than those that were previously with EU. Having to negotiate with so many countries at once will put UK in a weaker position and get worse terms than normal.

Ok so this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_White_House_email_controv...

Yea that's terrible. If there was evidence of a (possibly) compromised, unsecured personal server, with high level officials talking about national security on it (including Bush) then I would think it would be even worse. But it is bad as is.

Also, I think Bush was a pretty terrible president in many respects and overall I'm not a fan of his.

If he used, or personally signed off on the use of, then he should have been held responsible. As well as others that did so themselves.

And Powell's recommendation that Clinton use a personal server is a perfect example of an arrogant, entitled, self-interested "leader" who only cares about political expediency and convenience for themselves at the expense of destroying government transparency and risking security leaks and hacks.

As a General who above all should know this better than anyone, he's a disgrace for recommending this, in my opinion.
UBI doesn't have to depend on tax collection. It can also be a replacement for monetary policy, and in that form would be more delicate control than the current open-market operations, since it is not subjected to an easily-manipulated money multiplier. It may also be fairer since it creates capital markets from the bottom up, thus enabling small-scale entrepreneurship through personal liquidity. Some might see that as far more democratic than buying bonds from merchant banks. It also suggests a more direct adjustment of inflation, rather than manipulating inflation through the effects of interest rate on debt.

This is all somewhat theoretical because any discussion of change to central banking systems ends up stymied by institutional resistance, public confusion, entrenched interests, and political reluctance. Nonetheless the option exists. If I was studying towards an economics PhD right now, I'd probably be modelling the comparative behaviours & outcomes of UBI-based monetary policy.

p.s. your vision of autonomous communities makes me dream of an end to nation states and a return to the sovereign municipalities of both the distant past and a [science-fiction future](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamond_Age).
While you are correct, most governments would undoubtably find much less productive uses for this money than helping either their own citizens or migrants and refugees, I would still prefer that choice be left up to society and not the whims of a person who's investments vehicles are most likely engaged in rampant tax avoidance or even worse, outright tax evasion.
Call of Duty: Black Ops III Salvation DLC Review
That's a cute and proud theory until the ones who pay the bills are in place where they feel the government is neglecting them in favour of others and the economy isn't helping as well. You know, the citizens/taxpayers. Specially the lower and middle class, which is getting rare because of globalisation.

Everything has its price.
I always thought that was a funding thing. It seems like there are a few small improvements every few years, because, I think people who work on that work pretty hard.

It's that they want to build a multi billion dollar thing "to answer questions". Since there's no immediate payoff, it follows the superconducting supercollider path.

Also, it's nuclear power, so that's another nail in the coffin.
The first is pretty good I'd say.

That second shot shows nicely why that particular solution doesn't work; cyclists take to the sidewalk as the road is too crowded and dangerous.

I think you might be a little alarmist.

The Lesser Known Normal Forms of Database Design (2014)
It is good point. In general the only people who can change the workplace are the employees who put the pressure on the employer or like you say make career choices that better reflect work/life balance we seek.

This is best visible in tech where we are used to perks that we already consider basic, another discussion is whether those perks are actually a way to make us work more.

On a personal note I remember working in advertising and being on my Blackberry 24/7. Was it necessary? I don't think so, but neither my ad agency nor myself had an effective productivity system in place. Workplaces has changed so much in the last 5 years, that we may want to consider teaching people how to work less, remotely and avoid re-work at any cost. My proposal would be putting that as obligatory course in every college. Sort of like d.school Design Your Life, and instead Design Your Work.
IB is perfectly fine for most apps. When you feel constricted it is easy enough to accomplish what you want in code.

I was born in communist Romania, and what he said is spot on. We called it "relations" (not in a familial sense), and you literally used them to do everything, including getting a passport or going to the hospital. Even basic shopping was a function of "relations". For example as a kid I was surprised to find out that the bakery occasionally gave people half-breads (half a bread or a bread and a half and so on), because we always got as much as we needed, never portions. Because relations.

It is not the IDE per se (300 MB RSS or so), but Java allocating some 2 GB heap per process, which also includes gradle daemon and compilers.

As a foreigner in China I find this answer verging on offensive.

I am not much of a gamer but have played great Chinese games with impressive graphics, deep historically-informed game worlds and references to poetry, literature, art, philosophy.

I think you are confusing low-ball RTS/mobile games/MMORPGs with Chinese games.

I also think you are confusing nationalism with cultural touchstones. English or American people play games like US Army and WWII flightsims, RTSs and FPSs, Colonization/Civilization, Europa Universalis, Risk, etc. Is that nationalist? Perhaps, but it's pretty equivalent, and a whole lot more current nerve. If Chinese people released a game about bombing Americans in the South China Sea I'd give you a point... reality is, the US did the same for almost every modern conflict to date, and their army actually have an outreach unit for propaganda/recruiting through games/other media. China, AFAIK, doesn't.

From a money perspective, it's all MMORPGs and mobile equivalents. There is an argument that those types of games tend toward a formulaic approach and weak content by default.

I never heard about banning traditional characters, and I strongly doubt this to be a blanket ban as suggested, because they are critical for historical settings.
This makes no sense at all. Most illegal immigrants did come into the country legally.
So why have Japanese games been so extremely successful in the west? They suffer from all of the same supposed drawbacks, which were even more marked during their period of peak success in the 1980s and 1990s -- think Super Mario Brothers, Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, Street Fighter II.

These games, all huge successes in Japan and in the west, have all the issues described -- radically different art styles, very different pacing, and complex and unfamiliar user interfaces compared to what westerners were used to. Even worse, during that period, Japanese games got little if any localization for the US and European markets, beyond hastily done and poorly proofread translations of the text.

So what's different about Japanese games?

3. Dabble in Python automating little pain points in my life

That's where I'm at right now.
I understand that-- I've done quite a bit of research and feel I know enough to get started. There are competitors in this space but it's not very crowded. It's not completely unknown territory.

With that being said, I do think you make a good point and I should make sure I understand what differentiates my product from the others is something people would be willing to pay for.
My impression is that it's largely down to who they think gets those handouts. The perception that the face of need and poverty in the US is principally black, has always driven conservative opposition to 'big government', welfare and government paid healthcare, certainly since the Civil Rights Act.

This invites the question of whether socialist policies might have a better prospect in a hypothetical future US partitioned into ethno-states.
I hope those acquisitions are more visible in the product than Pinterest startups shopping spree.

Not to say that elements within either group haven't been responsible for some of the things you mention, or that there aren't any similarities. But in general they are very different groups with a different relationship to "regular" society in the UK (and Ireland for that matter.)
Most people can see exactly who these people are, so leaving their comments up provides everyone with a persistent proof of their character.
> The rich were meant to have the most leisure time. The working poor were meant to have the least.

Only in fairy tales. The conclusion in economic textbooks is always the same: if you're rich the opportunity cost of having a day off are _much_ higher so the more you can create in an hour the _less_ likely it is you'll have a day off. That's why CEOs of larger companies have assistants or, in case of mega corps, helicopters or planes.

Practical conclusion: if you're an independent professional schedule a fixed number in a year of weeks for vacations. If you plan for it you'd be less likely to hesitate than when making the decision on a week-by-week basis. (Said a person who had longer vacations about 5 years ago)
