> Can someone sell me on using rust over python?

I can't. But I can try to sell you Nim [0] as a compiled/faster addition to your Python, from my own experience of using it in last few months and coming from Python.

It uses significant whitespace and the syntax will surely look familiar to any Pythonista, and the entry barrier is much lower (i.e. learning curve is much shallower) than Rust.

Speed improvements I experienced are in the range of 10-100x, while the code doesn't look that much different than Python. I have solved Advent of Code in both Nim and Python in parallel [1] so you can compare the solutions/syntax yourself.

First of all, you not only edited your original comment to ask why you were being downvoted, but then you made an entirely different reply to ask the same thing. Repetition like that is dull and adds nothing to a conversation.

Second, I don't think that 8 year old girls and 14 year old girls should be grouped together. I have an 8 year old stepdaughter and she talks to her stuffed animals. She knows (at least, I hope she knows) that Unicorn is stuffed and I make her voice. But, she still talks to, argues with and consoles Unicorn. And, when I meet her friends, she wants her friends to meet Unicorn.

Let's flash forward six years. What do you think she will say/do if I talk like Unicorn in front of her friends? Or, what will happen if her first boyfriend comes over for dinner, I plop a faded old stuffed unicorn on the dinner table, affect a squeaky voice and ask him "do you like unicorns?" That's not appropriate! It will either embarrass her, keep her friends away from me, or otherwise hurt my relationship with her.

Finally, you talked about how you don't recall running into something super inappropriate while browsing bookstores. I'm not talking about Fifty Shades type of stuff. Rather, let me give you an example.

I love The Catcher in The Rye and genuinely believe that every person should be required to read it before being allowed to graduate from high school.

So, that's a book that I would definitely recommend to 12-16 year olds. The thing about the Catcher is that it's best when you've already started questioning the social world around you. Otherwise, it's too easy to declare Holden Caulfield a whiny little twat and not gain from the book.

So, I would argue that while that book is amazing and all kids deserve a copy, not every kid will be ready for it at the same age. So, while the sentiment is appropriate, the book isn't appropriate for every young person at the same time.

Or, in terms of code, let's say that you've never programmed before. It wouldn't be appropriate to teach you "hello world" then go right into monads. There's nothing particularly wrong with monads, it's just that they would be so far beyond you that you wouldn't gain from the lesson.

Anecdata:

I use Bing regularly. Sometimes I'll say I've binged something, but I have a hard time doing so without a little hint of sarcasm or self-awareness in my voice.

It gets weirder when people are using the term "Google-fu" - gotta say "search-fu" if you can't stomach "Bing-fu"; neither option is great.

I don't doubt that inequality would go down and that that would be a good thing.

It would be difficult to ascertain exactly where the inflationary impact would hit though - there are way too many variables to account for - aggregate housebuilding, inflows of foreign capital, desirability of UK as a place to park capital and live, availability of arable land, potential future availability of oil, etc.

All you could really say is that it would be inflationary. Not how much, not where.

If it were to be brought in it should be brought in at a low level with automatic increases until it's enough to live on. If the inflationary impact is too much for the electorate to bear they ought to be able to vote it down.
I would argue that for the most salient issues of our time, UCLA, Berkeley, Stanford, Hopkins, et al, will all support sufficiently liberal social and political policies that from the outside perspective all look the same. Sure, a few colleges may really demonstrate its history of activism.

But which top college wouldn't culturally or administratively have a positive atmosphere towards immigrants, financially disadvantaged, Muslims, gays, sexual equality, or gender issues? Basically the salient topics of our time.

Peter Thiel might simply want to take advantage of the less-crowded LA tech scene, or I suspect he might've tried Austin, but even then, I don't think it's that much different in atmosphere.

> I agree that people in the know would not advocate brutal totalitarian dictatorship in 1947. But the idea of a centrally planned economy was far from discredited in 47. Central planning and some smart financial engineering by Schacht had harnessed tremendous productive capacity in Nazi Germany.

Wasn't the economic boom of Nazi Germany under Hitler fueled mostly by giant foreign loans? From what I've read, one of main reasons Hitler was so hell-bent on going to war was the looming bankruptcy - war allowed him to pillage conquered countries (mainly in the East), which brought in tons of money.

> I gave you an example: Sieve.

I said "of wide utility". BTW, I don't know Sieve, but if it has regular expressions then reasoning about it is also infeasible (e.g. checking whether two filters based on regular expressions are equivalent).

> but that a wide range of tasks are constrained enough to achievable within different sets of such models, and this is a common way of seeking to contain computational complexity that works well when it is done by care.

I don't know what "a wide range of tasks" means, but even regular expressions are not limited enough for general reasoning. Anything that requires regular expressions and beyond is already infeasibly verified in the general case.

> This is flat out wrong without adding the caveat that you're talking about arbitrary computation rather than languages that are specifically and intentionally constructed to prevent arbitrary computation.

No. I'm talking about arbitrary programs in whatever language you give me. If your language has regular expressions -- game over. If it has variables and subroutines/limited loops -- game over. And those are just the PSPACE-hard cases. If all you have in your language is boolean connectives (i.e., it's a propositional calculus) -- no subroutines, no loops and no mutable variables -- verifying it is "just" NP-hard. Special cases, on the other hand, are often possible to reason about even automatically even in Turing complete languages.

> You may intend a "useful" in there somewhere, in which case I point you again to Sieve, which is still trivial enough unless you carelessly add extensions.

I did say useful, and either Sieve is not very widely applicable and/or, if it has regular expressions it cannot be feasibly reasoned about.

Product is not intersection. The equivalent to product types in set theory is the Cartesian product ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_product ).

The closest thing to a division would be a quotient set ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotient_set ), but there you're dividing by an equivalence relation. It is however possible to define an equivalence that undoes set multiplication: (A × B)/~ ≅ A if (a₁, b₁) ~ (a₂, b₂) holds iff a₁ = a₂, ignoring the other component.

OPSEC is hard. Even people for whom it's a matter of life and death fail at it routinely. Angry trolls even more so. Your first message may be anonymous, but by your third message there's a good chance someone dedicated could find you if they cared enough.
I realised there is a lot of variance in the process and only a small amount of the variance is under my control. So much is outside factors due to random chance. Therefore, I decided that since I have little control over the outcome, then the more effort I put into an application, the more energy/time I waste. So instead I decided to optimise for quantity and not quality. The way I scale it up is to automatically apply to everything on who's hiring monthly posts that have an email address. I have a std email template that I have honed over the months. Otherwise I can apply on a website in under 45 seconds. Every month I'll spend 20 minutes get out at least 30 applications of which 80% will convert to recruiter calls of which about 95% will convert to tech screens of which %10 (I suck at coding puzzles under pressure) will convert to onsites of which 15% will convert to offers.

Instead of learning weird new stuff like rust or go, I find that c/c++ and python cover the entire range of problems you will ever need to solve. It takes a lot of time to start being productive in rust/go, and the benefits are vague. Instead I'd rather learn to use C++ and python better.
So basically, step 1: install SMTP and IMAP servers, step 2: configure them to

It is interesting how you immediately reframe women getting harassed as misogyny. Nevermind women likely get more attention online as well.

Let's have a look at the study [0] you mention. Which measures private messages received from an IRC channel by a bot. Do you honestly not think a female username will receive more attention given the typical gender composition of an online IRC channel? (Who still uses IRC apart from unwashed CS nerds?) 25 times messages likely means there were 25 times more males than females in that particular room.

[0] Meyer, R., & Cukier, M. 2006 http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.89....

This point is, without properly establishing a base rate of attention VS harassment, all you can do appeal to emotion. Yes women are being harassed in tech, are they being harassed in at a higher rate than other industries? Is it a specifically a tech problem? Is your solution to the problem to accuse men in the tech industry as misogynists/sexists further alienate both sides from each other when you don't even have proper evidence?

I find that any technology has limitations. We have the problem in industry that whenever there is a new buzzword there are "Thought leaders" in companies telling everybody to use it, because it's the new thing. Like when washing machines needed to have Fuzzy Logic in the 90s, just because it got kinda hyped. They didn't do anything better because of it, but marketing could print it on the front.

Now you have AI, Industry 4.0/IoT, Blockchain, Big Data and the Cloud. Most of these technologies are useless to most problems, while being useful in a select few. However this won't stop marketing and sales departments from selling it to clients because it sounds good.

It only triggers inflation if the money supply goes up. If you pay for UBI with taxes, it has no effect on inflation.

In theory.

The problem is that this amounts to taxing the super-rich to a much greater extent than we do now. The super-rich tend to hoard their money (that's part of the problem!) so even if you manage to do that successfully, you do end probably end up increasing the effective money supply. But not to the extent that the income becomes worthless.
Another advantage musicians practiced in reading sheet music have (assuming they're also practiced in the general play of their instrument) is that music falls into various scales and modes. Learning and practicing the scales and modes in different ways and patterns allows musicians to have a wide set of skills that can be quickly applied to most music.

Well there's missing the avatar picture taking a backside selfie in yoga pants, for scientific completeness of the tests...

All jokes aside, I can't say I'm surprised by the results. The internet allows to remove 2 important things humans use for communication: Physical presence (5 senses) and body language (non verbal communication). I doubt any of the 'offenders' in the tests would do anything even remotely close to the blatant sexism displayed if they were in the presence of the young woman.

Maybe such experiments actually 'force' communication to it's lowest common denominator, and any other conclusions on the character of the 'offenders'
might be quite tainted. That being said, I completely agree with the conclusion that changing the avatar picture is a good idea, and avoids all the bad signal/noise ratio.
Ampere takes aim at hyperscale market with new Arm chip
We're talking over two threads here and I went into this in another comment.

To answer it succinctly, I'll use the programming language example that I used.

Let's say that you have never programmed before, so you come to me for help. I start teaching you. The first lesson, I teach you how to output "hello world". The second lesson, I teach you about monads. Honestly, how do you think you'd do?

There isn't anything absolutely wrong about monads, but I'd tend to argue that they're a little too advanced for someone who only knows how to output "hello world". In this example, I'd say that teaching you about monads in the second lesson was inappropriate - you likely won't gain from it, in fact, it's more likely that learning about monads too soon will actually hurt your progress.
Why do you feel that way? VPNs are vastly more likely to actually read your traffic than any ISP.
There's a special case on housing expenses. There aren't enough housing units in many areas for everybody who wants to live in those areas. So, the price goes up, and this acts a as a crude filter for how bad you want to live in an area. There is no rate of UBI that will cover housing expenses in such an area -- the rent will always be what everybody can afford + n, where n is large enough that only enough people who can fit can afford it. This dynamic is basically inflation. Increasing supply or redirecting demand is the only way to lower n. n can also manifest itself as a waiting list.

(This is not, by the way, a normative statement, it's merely descriptive)

This inflationary pressure probably won't apply to food, because the supply of food is a lot more elastic than the supply of housing. That more people can afford better probably means that more good food gets sold, and perhaps some scarcer foods might come under pressure, but the supply, and thus price, of things like rice and carrots is unlikely to go up.

>Murder is already illegal, yet we have many laws to control firearms, etc.

Adding more laws to enforce when existing laws are not effectively enforced is good why? Law enforcement efforts aren't like processor cycles. We (society) accumulate capital overhead by growing the body of law, and make the law less useful.

I would suggest law is like policy, and needs a lot more looking at second and third order effects, they way you would think when commenting on a RFC. There seems to be a lot of: we have to do something sentiment these days.
