I think there's work upstream on custom / multiple allocators; we'll plug the various kmalloc(GFP_FOO) flags into that once it exists. It is super beneficial to use the standard library's collections and third-party crates that use them.
This is a pretty decent list of beginner-to-early-intermediate level tips, but it's worth noting that the majority of tips in the article are actually bash-isms, and won't work if you're on a different shell (though you might have equivalent features triggered by a different incantation)
It's not just "not bad." It's scary. It makes enough coherent sense from sentence to sentence that I doubt my mom (missing a few marbles) would notice it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Combine this...some official looking logos and a request for money for a fine.

It did not solve a real problem. It may be a path towards a solution of a real problem that Mozilla has but it certainly has not solved it.

What it did do is increase a complexity by adding another toolchain into the build process. Not only that, it added a new, not stable tool chain that impacted how others can build FF. And it has not been clear what so ever that this has delivered a major improvement at the cost of added complexity.

Oh yeah, that's something I heard about from my coworkers. Goland had support for go modules since the 1.11 prerelease as far as I remember, so I hadn't experienced it myself.

> Mozilla isn't doing that today. The current code is being "slowly but surely improved," and the use of Rust is largely happening only in new components (and not all new components are being written in Rust!). There's very little gratuitous conversion of C++ code to Rust.

So one can build FF without Rust? Because if the answer is "Not any more" then it is a beginning of a rewrite, just done slower.
Yes it does. Borrow guarantees that the lifetime of the borrower does not exceed the lifetime can provide. Heap allocations have a lifetime--the start of a Box<> is the call to malloc, and the end is the call to free. Borrow checking prevents you from using the value after the free.

Then nobody intelligent has looked at the idea. There isn't much gain from car sharing: more then half of the cars in the fleet will be used for one trip in the morning and one in the afternoon - rush hour is much busier than any other time of the day. Even if a car could be used for a second trip, it needs to get to the next rider, which means travel back out to the suburbs empty - adding wear and tear to the car and burning fuel (CO2)

Some people will car share, but most will decide that the convince of having their gold clubs in the trunk is worth having their own for the little cost difference it will be.
Faster than both. But more importantly much better security, much more features, and continuous improvements. perl5 is just continuous destruction.
Absolutely. I should have added that such new features whatever they may be could be touted as the lever to move Perl 5 to Perl 7 and be done with the whole Perl 6 thing.

And whatever name is given to Perl 6, great. Let it find its way in the world as it should. It's got a lot to offer.
Huh? It absolutely does, you can store a Box<T> somewhere and get multiple &'a Ts out of it, where 'a is limited to the lifetime of the box, but only one &'a mut T out of it at once.

It just reinforces the fact that law, right and wrong are not very well tied together. They're mostly there to keep the status quo for the elite.

Bloomberg: Broader Crypto Circulation Getting Close to Reality
I wrote this blog post about my learnings on how the test pyramid is not always the best fit for a system's testing approach. Maturity of the system actually has a big affect on how it should be tested.

While the test pyramid might be a good fit for more stable systems, our development team decided to avoid writing unit tests and rely on more black-box API tests for our new microservice. We chose this approach to optimize for easy and safe rewrites which we expect to happen at the early stages of the microservice.

A related piece from Jeremy Waldron on the topic of "moral distance":

"The parable of the Good Samaritan, as it has become known, is cited most often by moral philosophers to open a debate about the duty to rescue [...] We all agree that it was wrong for the thieves to attack the man, and that it would be equally wrong for the Samaritan, the priest, or the Levite to join in such an attack. The hard question is: do the Samaritan, the priest, or the Levite also have an obligation to help the man who fell among thieves?"

Honestly this is part of why I throw food out maybe more frequently than others do. The plethora of dates is extremely confusing. Pair that with the fact that I’ve had awful food poisoning a few times in my life and I end up tossing food out that’s probably still fine to eat, but I just don’t want to risk it.

The point is those systems reduce the number of employees needed, which means a reduction in the demand of labor, which means the price of labor goes down assuming the supply remains constant or goes up.
Just a reminder that Measles also has negative side effects, and refusing a vaccination may force it on someone else less able to withstand those effects.
Vaccination is not treatment. And we are being "forced" to undergo much more than that which is in our interest: filtering of air and water, food quality regulations and so on.

> where is the evidence

Evidence of people stating that Electron apps use RAM inefficiently compared to how they believe "more native" implementations would? All over the place.

Of people giving specific examples? No time to search one out right now but I've seen many discussions where similar tools written in different frameworks show Node+Chrome+YourCode to use much more memory than the others, sometimes with a less responsive feeling UX, while providing a very similar feature set, so that evidence should be easy to find.

Do you have any evidence of your opposing theory? Applications with the same feature set where an Electron based version has similar (or, indeed, lower) memory requirements for similarly performant operation / UX, or a situation where an Electron based tool manages to provide more functionality with the same memory requirements?
The AMD graphics drivers are completely open source.
This argument used to come up when I worked at Cambridge Silicon Radio, where we made ASICs. We made our own CPU designs for those ASICs.

Some of the engineers thought making our own CPU designs was a stupid idea and some thought that switching to ARM designs was a stupid idea. The only fact I have is that our CPU designs were not the main cause of bugs in our chips. If you asked the digital designers, they'd say things like, "Why are software engineers so interested in CPU designs. The kinds of embedded CPUs we need are easy to design. Implementing a correct power management state machine is hard. Implementing an efficient WiFi PHY is hard. Get off my lawn..."

Some problems with putting ARM CPUs in our chips were: a) integration engineering costs (ie find a way to multiplex some existing pins on the package with the jtag debug port), b) having to do price and contract negotiation with ARM (that part of the company was less efficient than the digital engineering team), c) finding that the change you wanted to make to the chip was incompatible with the ARM contract you'd just spent 6 months negotiating.

I’ve been chastised before for energetic commenting on this particular topic, and we’re hardly discussing HK now, so I’ll give it a rest.
This may be valid. After both the last 2 measles outbreaks that hit the news in the US it was discovered in many of the kids tested that the strain of measles was actually from the vaccine itself. Not sure if that's classified as a mutation but I don't think thats supposed to be able to happen and spread that way. Will follow up with sources after I'm off mobile

Edit: Here are a couple of sources. The first claims to have proven that someone on the vaccine schedule spread measles in 2011. However I will correct that I thought the disney case was similar but I think that one may have been wild measles and only a few vaccinated were infected. These are just food for thoughts

https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/58/9/1205/2895266

This one is more scientific and dry but is from the CDC I believe and showed among other things an increase in sporadic measles outbreaks among vaccinated

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC228449/

The whooping cough is more interesting. You can find multiple cases of outbreaks among highly vaccinated people but the symptoms are allegedly milder so the vaccine is possibly doing something positive about it. The CDC is warning the vaccine is losing effectiveness.

Yes. Exactly. Before I figured out how to game the program, my son and wife were editing shorter. That’s what the instructions said to do. And, that’s also a major strategy for decent writing: brainstorm a lot, then edit down to the good parts. What this means is the software’s scoring is an anti-incentive to good writing. Used as a teaching aid, it’s actually doing pure damage, not good. Not only can it not score reliably, nor provide meaningful feedback, it’s actually actively teaching a very wrong way to write. But it is cheaper than humans, and it does give immediate feedback, so there’s that.
Stop Making Everything Perfect for Your Kid
Appreciative of the breakdown, but I think there might be some issues with your methodology.

For one, far fewer households today are single salary. Say what you will about whether this is a good or bad thing, but I think it's probably more appropriate to base the numbers on an "automotive household income" if that's such a thing.

Also, your salary resource is a little weak. It has a huge range ($34k-$144k average). I speculate this isn't relegated to just using automotive manufacturers but also includes their suppliers. Anecdotal experience shows me that the lowest paid Tier 2 union employees on a line make that much if you include overtime. Tier 1 workers make much more (close to double, in my experience). Then you take the skilled trades (e.g., electricians and machinists) where its more common than not to make six figures, all things considered. This is all before we're getting to the degreed engineers. Payscale.com shows average Ford engineer salary nearing $90k. Engineers on the line generally make more because of the work conditions and overtime (it wouldn't be uncommon for a process engineer to make double that). I don't know what the actual numbers are, but I wouldn't balk at data that's easily double the numbers you covered. It could easily be on-par or even below the Model-T numbers when it comes to monthly household income.
I didn't really get much from spoken subtitled English, other than maybe an ear for it. Lion's share of actually learning came from text adventures alongside a bidirectional dictionary.
Android already does this, somewhat.

Whenever you receive a call you know beforehand if it's spam or not. Maybe a handful of times in the last year I've received a spam call that wasn't marked as spam. You can block callers and report as spam much like in Gmail.

When the call is not spam Android looks up on Google where the number is from and it shows the name of the business in the call screen.

This is working great for me. A year ago I received 2-3 spam calls per day which of course I've been blocking. Now I receive 1-2 spam calls per week at the most. Some weeks I don't receive any.
