This seems like pointless cynicism by way of semantics.

I think utility - as a term - carries more baggage in this context. People tend to easily come up with reasons they could hold on to something. Most things could be useful for one reason or another, but the problem is that, realistically, you've vanishingly likely to actually do something with it.

Joy might describe a situation where the utility meets its need, where it's value to you is especially high.
In other words, I think 'joy' was a deliberate and informed choice.

Finally, I'm not at all sold on 'utility' having poor marketability. Maybe not great, but it speaks well to the value-optimizer and many people that are interested in self-help sorts of subjects.

> `redprogramming.com` which is linked to from the official website

Official page links to learning resources provided by community, to compensate for TBD state of official documentation. We can't, however, control other people's opinions, or dictate them how to express themselves.

People can unintentionally say provocative things in a burst of excitement, I hope you understand that. And there are reasons to be excited about Red and Rebol.

> The comparison with Python is from a blog of one of the Rebol developers. Not sure whether that qualifies as official.

As I said, we can't control other people, and are not responsible for other's bold claims. I too do not think that this benchmark was fair and objective. As for the wiki page - we'll note that. I'm just saying that any other person can go there and apply his/her edits, without project's consent.

> I just assumed Red was to Rebol what Hy is to Python and Clojure to Java, but that's great that that is a non-issue!

It's good that this confusion is resolved. Hy and Clojure are hosted languages by nature, but Red is entirely self-contained (although you might think that it depends on Red/System dialect).

>Protobuf couples data modeling and data serialization into a single inseparable concern, and it becomes difficult to do anything else once you start using it.

This is only true if you decide that your storage proto and wire proto are the same. That's not at all necessary (and generally not recommended). More to the point, FieldMask exists in proto, so redaction is fully supported, though I rarely see them used.

In Rust, you're supposed to use `unicode-segmentation`[1] if you need to split on logical character (grapheme cluster in the Unicode standard). Otherwise, the iterators `.bytes` emits raw bytes, and `.chars` emits UTF-8 codepoints.

Basically, string indexing is a lot harder than it seems at first glance, depending on what you want.

Of course there's an incentive to not kill them.

Most people don't actually enjoy murdering innocent people, and if the police found the dead body then it's a murder investigation which would be taken more seriously than a kidnapping/ransom.

All they'd need to do is blindfold the victim and drop them at a random location. It'd be much less risk than disposing of a corpse.
Yeah, but not back (in other words, a mechanical mapping won't preserve sufficient information to disambiguate). It's definitely not trivial.
You can have an axiomatic system, and use deduction to reach conclusions. Or you can have a system with real humans in it. But real humans are not axiom-following machines (for any set of axioms). The axioms therefore do not let you reason about the behavior of actual humans. That seems to mean that if the conclusions are correct, they are correct only by coincidence.

Disclosure: Google employee, but opinions are my own.

Did Google really transform Mountain View in the way that it proposes for San Jose, though? The Google campus in Mountain View still looks like a dressed up suburban business park to me, far away from public mass transit, just as it has always been. It relies on a private bus system to get many employees to work, which most other major Google offices don't need due to the effective mass transit (NYC, London, Zurich, etc.)

What is proposed for the San Jose campus seems far more urban, sited adjacent to a real mass transit station, like basically all the other major Google offices in the world outside of Mountain View.

EDIT: BTW, I'm not disparaging the Mountain View campus and private bus system. I've used both plenty, and they are a locally optimum solution for Google, given the lack of mass transit access, and the reality there is not enough parking for Google's high office population density. But a lot of what's there seems like duct tape and chewing gum workarounds on top of the mid-century suburban, car-centric model for siting work, housing, and transportation.
Exactly. The same thing I think is true for posters done in LaTeX - they put you in the mindset of using text, when you should be narrating pictures.
I'd rather you write the code. Keep up the good work.

Hopefully these changes will allow you more time to focus on adding value to the vast majority of users. If a small subset of folks need the marginal functionality, it should be up to them to step up to the plate and make it happen.
The largest consumer of crops grown in the United States are our farmed animals. Eating soybeans directly instead of sending them to factory farms reduces the amount of animals killed, both in the factories and on the fields. There is no trade-off in terms of animal death when switching to a plant-based diet. You are always killing fewer animals.
liking something is important but you have to ask why they liked it in the first place. The reason for their desire matters. Professional football player might "like" football even though it takes a heavy physical toll (brain damage, joint damage, etc.) but notice the people becoming professional football players are usually from disadvantaged neighborhoods who see the sport as one of the few ladders they can use to climb to a better future. Its not going to be the sons of university professors who become football players. The reason Jackie Chan took all of those risks and "liked it" is because of his economic status.

The UK is bad because Tesla didn't space out the chargers as evenly as they are in France and Germany. Instead there are more around London, Midlands, and Manchester but very few in the south west and north east, almost none in Wales, etc. Visiting friends in Bridlington about this time last year was only practical because I could charge at their house.

Generally I aim to get to the next charger with about 30% so that I have a good margin for unexpected detours (road works, an unexpected bit of sight seeing, etc.) Was very handy last summer when the road from Oslo to Trondheim (Rv 3) was closed and I hadn't noticed, had to drive an extra 50 km over the mountains to get to the other road (E6).

I really can't agree though. There are a lot of people not having a particularity good time working low wage jobs without a future. Whether you want to say that this is the same, or even better than, before or not it certainly isn't a good situation. Any sort of economic downturn, even in prosperous countries, are going to be brutal. Just because jobs don't disappear doesn't mean they don't get worse. But it isn't in absolutes. It might mean that instead of being in poverty once in your life now it is three times.

you are underestimating python; it has many ways of concatenating strings, such as operators, buffers, templates, streams, the join method etc also.

By having mutable strings you lose the chance of relying on them as hashable objects and constant cost for comparison and several memory optimizations for duplicates and other optimizations when you have a runtime. There is a lot to win in the big game (or perhaps not that much if someone is thinking too much into a constrained system).

mutable string: a buffer made of chars which can be modified on demand with little memory

immutable string: some abstract data which ensures some properties that can be leveraged for many purposes

The same author also wrote hyperfine, a tool to compare performance of various program runs.

hyperfine './target/release/hexyl ./target/release/hexyl' 'xxd ./target/release/hexyl' 'hexdump ./target/release/hexyl'
Benchmark #1: ./target/release/hexyl ./target/release/hexyl
Time (mean ± σ): 1.529 s ± 0.028 s [User: 1.476 s, System: 0.050 s]
Range (min … max): 1.491 s … 1.581 s 10 runs

Benchmark #2: xxd ./target/release/hexyl
Time (mean ± σ): 70.5 ms ± 0.5 ms [User: 68.0 ms, System: 1.2 ms]
Range (min … max): 69.5 ms … 72.3 ms 41 runs

Benchmark #3: hexdump ./target/release/hexyl
Time (mean ± σ): 262.4 ms ± 2.8 ms [User: 260.1 ms, System: 1.5 ms]
Range (min … max): 259.8 ms … 268.8 ms 11 runs

Summary
'xxd ./target/release/hexyl' ran
3.72 ± 0.05 times faster than 'hexdump ./target/release/hexyl'
21.70 ± 0.43 times faster than './target/release/hexyl ./target/release/hexyl'

Currently hexyl seems nearly 22x slower than xxd.
I'm not quite sure why this is controversial. "Undeletable" applications is as old as keeping factory-reset images on devices.

Would people prefer that you could "remove" apps even if that meant they were still part of what's stored on the phone?

If you factory reset the phone, people expect it to look like whatever it looked like whenever you first started the device after taking it out of the box.

That's why you can't uninstall it; it's part of the system image. If there's an issue with how this work, the issue is that there are bundled apps, not that you can't uninstall them.
I love the design. Looking forward to checking out the articles.

I went to San Jose in 2017 and was surprisingly very bored. Compared to San Francisco, San Jose seemed like a sprawling, car dense, sleepy mid sized city in Florida with a little bit of big city characteristics thrown in. It really confused me. San Jose definitely has room for growth but I won't be surprised if low-income individuals are not taken into account with how the city council wants to zone areas and set up transportation. It'll be interesting to track SJ's growth.

This USPS still makes more money than it spends. The government borrows their profits to pay for other net-cost programs like SS and Medicare.
I think the example only really works if `parse` and `escaped` return something other than a string. If that was the case, the type system will save you.
That seems like taking it too far. It's like using pointer arithmetic to index a linked list on the assumption that the nodes happen to be allocated contiguously in memory. I mean, I guess the thinking is, indexing a Unicode string isn't cheap, but indexing strings used to be cheap once upon a time, when strings were encoded in fixed one-byte-per-character representations, so let's pretend that's still the case and panic if it doesn't work out.... That's weirdly antithetical to Rust's purported focus on safety.

Also, you can get the same performance from an operation that returns a byte array instead of a string. If that kind of performance is what you want, then a Unicode string is simply not the right type to use.
That’s good to know, thanks for sharing!

Yes. I mostly believe this as well. I have little or no guilt about it. Especially since the person was not yet hired. But when I think about stuff like this happening at scale across tens of thousands of small private companies it starts to add up to a lot of missing entry level jobs.

I will keep automating away the drudgery in part because it is inevitable and I might as well be someone who profits from the master trend rather than be trampled by the trend.

Why does this insane split seem unfair even though it might be legal?

In this day and age, if 2 adults divorce and as long as there are not any special circumstances, why should one be entitled to half of another spouse's wealth?

I understand that these laws came when women had no agency and no education but surely we don't need these laws now?

If feminism were anything but self servin and geniune, why are there no calls to make divorce laws more reasonable?
You're drawing a false analogy here, the problem isn't that phonetic writing isn't capable of rendering classical texts; the problem is that they can't competently render any text written in the formal register.

In your particular example, the ownership system would help here, since `foo` is consumed by `doBazWithFoo`. (Only exception is when `foo` is `Copy`.)
I believe the way this is solved is by having the type of escaped(foo) different than that of parse(foo) and only accepting a EscapedString in doBaz and an ParsedString in doBar.

Your type structure at no extra runtime cost is
String : ParsedString : EscapedString.

This ensures you don't escape strings before parsing them too. Nice!

Both of them long predate Linux. They're definitely Unix-flavored, but so's the Berkeley sockets library, and that's available everywhere, too.

The Manchester Declaration: Our Right to Repair
> What? Work is work, regardless of whether paid or not.

Most certainly not; within the context of providing services to a legal business entity within the United States, work is defined be receiving compensation for your time, skills, and knowledge. If you are doing something for a business entity and you are not receiving compensation, then it is defined as volunteer work, and there are strict limits on what can be done by a volunteer, chief of which is the volunteer's work must not be crucial to the operations of the business. Otherwise the DoL will classify it as work, and force the business to pay the social security and unemployment tax for your time.

The free software project is not run by a for-profit entity and as such is not bound by those laws.

> What matters more than the payment is the scope/amount of such work.

That's fairly idealistic. This tells me you value your time (and by extension, yourself) very low. Also, the Dept Of Labor would disagree with you.

Your internal data model should be separate from protobufs. Protobufs are for modelling the contract between parties of the serialized content so that the producer knows what to produce and consumer knows what data to expect. Only when you have a need to serialize your internal data model into protobufs would you touch protobufs, just like you would with any other serialization format.

The structures that are generated by the protobuf tool are simply there to help with transforming your internal state into the format needed to satisfy the shared contract, allowing your language's compiler to tell you if you have violated that contract. Theoretically you could produce/consume protobufs without them, but they are provided as a convenience so that you can deal with serialization transforms directly in your language of choice instead of banging bytes.

> Mises got the idea, while thinking very hard on a desk in an academic environment, that companies "save money to make investments". This can not be observed in reality. Very few companies are able to do this (e.g. IT companies like google). Most companies take shitloads of loans to pre-finance new production in the expectation that this loans can be repaid,recoverd with future economic growth. e.g. selling more cars.

If I understand correctly (and I may not), Mises' position was closer to true in his day than it is today. The debt-based investment is a more recent phenomenon.
My code when i was kid was half english and half swedish, heck even today when i write simple "run once"-code they often have some swedish named variable.

Funny story from ~2005, a company developed a jvm for a special cpu and was aquired by a bigger company. After the aquasition 2 developers had to search the code base for two weeks after swedish swear words, they replaced them with the word of dandelion in swedish ("maskros").

What I want to say is that it is very common to mix english and ones native language.
