Did you strip both binaries? If I strip rg after compiling it, it shrinks to 2.7MB on Linux. If I strip the distributed binary on Github (which is statically linked with musl), then it shrinks to 2.4MB.

> Imagine what life will be like when we have UI toolkits like QT statically compiled into everything

I imagine Qt will be dynamically linked, so I'm not sure why you'd say that.

Of course, if you want to statically link something like Qt because it makes distribution easier for $reasons, then that's a different story. But that has nothing to do with Rust.
Because diversity of thought is important. You're missing a lot if you only read books by people with similar views and experiences. For example, if you're a white man and you ask all your white male friends for book recommendations, you're going to end up with a pretty homogeneous list.
>What if someone cashes out before Bobcorp notices?

People (exchanges etc) will be wary of accepting large transactions which have moved a lot recently from untrusted sources, whereas coins that have sat in the same wallet for a few weeks won't be discounted against as much etc.

To give some intuition advice here, think of it like how a risk management department of a financial institution would, trying to price grey risks; not like a distributed systems engineer does, trying to reason about edge cases as either Boolean correct/incorrect.
("Hmm, guess we'll have to discount fast moving coins from people we don't know" vs "If the hacker sells it fast enough the whole taint thing is unworkable and everything will be fungible again") Analogous to https://xkcd.com/538/ - regulators and financial institutions will take the $5 wrench approach!
I love it, but it's also kinda angry fruit salad.

Colors are good...too many colors is overwhelming. It might be that I'd come to recognize what the colors mean if I work with it every day, in the same way that I begin to recognize the flow of a program and when a color is "wrong" after using the same syntax highlighting in an editor for a long time. But, I couldn't tell you what any of the colors mean in my favorite editors.

It's more about recognizing when something has the wrong color compared to everything else with that "shape". e.g. a good example is that in shell scripts, I often put space between the var name, '=', and the value. That's not an assignment and can lead to subtle bugs (shellcheck will catch it, too, but I see it clearly in the editor because it doesn't highlight as a variable declaration).

So, what I'm getting at is that I'm pretty sure I'll always have to read the actual text to make any sense out of this output; the huge number of colors may just hinder readability. I don't know this for sure, but it's pretty jarring to look at even with a nice muted color scheme. I love colors in terminals, though, so I'll give it a go.

Not at all. My bipolar diagnosis was great for me, because it got my depressive episodes treated properly.

But an important distinction is whether medication is a choice, or is imposed by caregivers with legal authority, psychological influence, or whatever. I mean, I chose to take SSRIs for many years. And it made me crazy. Which I eventually realized.

But a ten year old kid who gets put on SSRIs inappropriately? They are screwed, and perhaps permanently.
If this is true (and a big if), it is a great opportunity for Google / Alphabet:

- Offer "self-driving OS" for cars, via Waymo

- Introduce "open-battery" standards for various manufacturers. Then also offer supercharger stations for batteries confirming to those standards. Other players can join the pool of superchargers by adhering to the same standard.

Basically, offer "Android for cars" to counter "iPhone of cars" (which is Tesla).
Typescript with TsLint is a godsend on larger codebases. It makes JavaScript into a pretty solid language for big projects.

Without it you frequently run into objects passed to you after going through 10k lines of code and it becomes a wicked game to figure out which properties the object actually has at that point.

JavaScript, even ES6, is IMO crap for large codebases.

Does this object have the property I'm looking for? Did somebody overwrite it with the wrong type 5000 lines ago? Why is the prototype chain broken? Where's my damn inline documentation.

My company has abandoned JavaScript wholesale with great relief. If it was a physical object we would have tossed it off the balcony.

We're months away from a ramp-up in production on the Model 3 - a vehicle that has demonstrated dramatic commercial interest and received wide-spread extraordinary praise from early reviews [1][2] - and some posters in this thread seemingly are attempting to have a bogus debate over whether the Model 3 is even going to sell any vehicles at all.

This is simultaneously hilarious and absurd. It's as if we're back in 2010/2011 again and Tesla has yet to ship the Model S; except that's not the reality, the Model S succeeded and here we are anyway with some people attempting to pretend the Model 3 might just be quasi-vaporware and that there will be very little buyer interest and that Tesla can't mass produce electric vehicles (which they already do).

Are you able to use the arrow keys? From what I've heard, most people have a problem with them.

I think I could get used the keyboard overall, but the arrow keys (with full-height left/right keys) were a complete no-go. There's so little space between each key I found it impossible to position my hand over the arrows properly.

I was completely ready to buy a new MBP but those arrow keys put an immediate end to that thought.

> So colors by default? Thanks but no thanks.

Is the problem really that there are colors, or that the colors used don't work well for colorblindness? Do you find coloring that doesn't go afoul of your particular type of colorblindness still less useful than no coloring, or is it just that so often little attention is paid and an assumption is made that it's no worse than monochrome when in actuality it sometimes is?

I guess my real question boils down to if whether the author tried to make the default color profile at least not horrible in some respects for most colorblind users, would you still think defaulting to color is the wrong default?
How so? Can you elaborate ?
Color is one of the first things I turn off. So many tools color files in ways that are very difficult to read (dark blue against a black background, really?)

I'm colorblind, too, so your red/orange/green distinctions are utterly wasted on me. Raw color is a very flaky and low fidelity way to communicate to a user.

Animation, on the other hand: Give that super important file that's somehow busted or very active some kind of blink or a meaningful animation and you'll have my attention. I may hate the tool for it, but you'll have my attention...

Sigh... Such a predictable response I should have address this in my original comment

Sure the Right of association, and I suppose property rights give them the legal ability to this.

However most of these platform publicly and loudly proclaim themselves as "Free Speech Platform", open to all points of view, open to all. Even in the public responses to the outcry over the bannings on Patreon their first statement was "See support free speech but...."

Once they add the but, they show themselves to not be supporters of free speech, instead they show themselves to be supporters of limited speech as defined by theit terms of that is acceptable speech.

Saying "We Support limited acceptable speech" however does not make for a good sound bite.

Claiming to support free speech while imposing speech codes, rules and terms is Fraud IMO.

So if platforms want to censor, want to limit speech fine, they need to stop claiming they support free speech when they do not. To do otherwise should be considered fraud

Most of these platform get to be very very large to the point of more or less monopolistic due to their claims of supporting free speech, then once they are the market dominate force they bait and switch their users and become a limited speech platform. That is a classic old as time form of fraud.

>>I think the scarier prospect is people thinking that property holders should be forced to act as law enforcement within their domains, and to make determinations about civil rights.

I am not even sure what that means or the point you are attempting to convey here, Nothing I stated indicated that property holders should be forced to act as law enforcement.....

>>Free speech simply says that you can't be arrested for speaking.

No, that is not what "free speech simply says" Free Speech is a ethical axiom. Even wikipedia does not have such a limited view of the concept, the first line in the Wikipedia entry on Freedom of Speech is "Freedom of speech is the right to articulate one's opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation or censorship, or societal sanction" See the "or societal sanction" part.
Implausible deniability, perhaps?
Sorry the colours aren't working out. One of the feature requests in exa's pipeline is the ability to customise the colours, so you could make everything use bold colours if it's too dark, or make more things the same colour if it's too garish. Would something like this make it usable?

Speaking about the point in general, though, I think that terminal programs have been in a chicken-and-egg situation for the last decade or so with ANSI colours. Because colours only get used sparingly, not all terminals have good-looking colour schemes by default, which means they often look ugly, which means they only get used sparingly. There shouldn't be any reason why a terminal program should ship with unreadable colours by default (I have been killed in NetHack before because the default 'blue' colour in PuTTY was so dark, I could barely see it), and terminal programs that output colour should be smart about it (disable colours by default when not to a terminal, to avoid problems with grep like the one you cite).

Another tricky thing is finding a colour set that works against various backgrounds. A ton of people use either black or white backgrounds. Occasionally you come across a different colour (eg: some people use red backgrounds for 'root' or 'production'), but even if you exclude these folks, getting something that works with both black and white backgrounds is a minimum requirement.

By using clang-cl you are getting the advantage of the LLVM backend.

LLVM/Clang can target many different platforms besides windows and it is open source so it is sponsored by many large companies including Google Apple etc.

Google use it for Chrome for example (which includes windows) and have engineers working full time to meet their needs.

Intel, ARM, AMD and co have upstreamed many optimisations into LLVM also.

If you have a bug it probably will be resolved faster. Instead of waiting months for the next Visual Studio Release etc

In general, LLVM because of the intermediate bytecode language and well made libraries like libclang enables new kind of tooling.

Microsoft actually use LLVM themselves in many places and have a bunch of open source projects that use it, which is great

The would actually probably be better off retiring MSVC's c++ compiler and focus on clang along with everyone else because other companies are basically paying for the engineering for their platform with clang.

Unlike gcc the license for llvm/clang is more liberal so if they want private internal tooling they can still do that also.

Of course many do aspire to a fulfilling romantic life. I'm always a little bit amazed, however, when perfectly normal people admit that they want to marry for status, stability, and other purely pragmatic reasons. (It's not just women who express this, by the way.)

Marriage is pretty complicated here, at least to my outsider eye. I know quite a few middle aged women who openly have steady (usu. older) boyfriends, but these boyfriends go home to a wife who barely speaks to him anymore, and yet refuses to divorce him. This also seems to be a relatively normal relationship in middle and later years here.

Like all human stuff, it's complicated under the surface.
Elon Musk had a thought provoking take on this question. I'll roughly summarize, and add some nuances he didn't mention. He was speaking to a room full of state governors, most of whom seemed fairly unconvinced by his concerns.

He said that he didn't believe his example was real, but that it was illustrative.

Consider an AI whose goal is to maximize stock market returns. So this AI ingests vast sums of historical data, of all kinds, and it considers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Air_Lines_Flight_007 where the Soviet Union shot down a Korean Air Lines 747 in 1983 when it deviated slightly from its path from Anchorage to Seoul and entered the edge of Soviet protected airspace. About the same time, there was a nearby US aerial reconnaissance mission.

This event greatly increased tensions during some of the worst years of the cold war, and as a result, certain kinds of stock market issues moved in certain directions.

Considering this incident, and the state of the world in 2014, the AI takes three actions:

1. Buys/shorts the same and/or related stocks, as applicable.

2. Creates some fake intelligence chatter, consumed by the Russians, that where was going to be an areal target of interest over east Ukraine on a certain day and time. The location and direction would not clearly match known commercial airline flights.

3. Break into the flight computer of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 on 17-July-2014, and cause it to fly slightly off course. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17

The result? Another civilian airliner was shot down by the Russians, which increased global political tensions, and probably caused some stocks to move in relatively predictable ways. In this example, the AI met the goal it was given in an exceedingly unexpected and unpleasant way.

This is clearly NOT an end of the world scenario, and is a hypothetical.

But it is, in my mind, illustrative of some of the dangers of AI. Systems that can do powerful, unpredictable things in order to meet mundane and reasonable goals.
