I don't like spending money on cars at all and always buy those for about 3000$ and use them for a few years. I treat them like crap, wouldn't be worth it in my case.

I often use company cars and they are always nice and comfortable, but I didn't encounter any software system I like yet.

I my car I rig my smartphone to the audio and have all features with slightly worse ergonomics.

Maybe interesting for families that often drive on trips but I don't really see the added value yet.

But, it would actually be interesting to get more technical information about the car. But these are hidden by the shitty proprietary software in cases I encountered. And of course you don't get access to maintenance information without manufacturer specific devices...

It was expected that manufacturers try to roll their own systems and try to hide actually useful info in favor of some fucking internet music store. Disappointing.
Curious why I’m getting downvoted for something that is factually accurate.
One issue I think we're facing is that people over-react.

In Western countries we probably consume too much meat and animal products in general. But that does not mean we should 'ban' animal products and go vegan.

To me it seems more reasonable, easier for people, and healthy to simply reduce: Don't eat meat every day/every meal.

Same goes for e.g. milk. I'm especially not convinced that having almond milk shipped all the way across the world from California (which suffers from water shortages) is better from the environment than simply drinking less milk, but local milk.
For some weird reason, uranium is not as dense as gold.
Prorogations are routine. Prorogations to suspend Parliament to stop it doing things inconvenient to the executive really aren't. As with so many things with Brexit, it puts us beyond the conventions of Parliamentary government.

I agree that it's not a Reichstag fire situation. For American readers the closest analogy is probably with FDR's court packing plan: within the law, but an attempt to end-run another branch of government and take its power away.

Nevertheless, opponents (including within his own party) saw that as corrosive to good government and stopped it. I think they were right to do so. The line between that (and the Johnson situation) and the 'soft authoritarian' democracies with executive-dominated institutions is not all that wide.

Also executable size because of monomorphization. I'm kinda worried that the top comment by goefft mentions an example module that uses Serde which is particularly vulnerable to this kind of bloat.
It’s about the language barrier.

It’s just not worth the trouble for foreign criminals to develop German language capabilities.

German regulation does exactly nothing to prevent foreign criminals from spamming Germans with robocalls from foreign numbers, Germans just aren’t an attractive target.
In practice, though, I suspect the number of leave-voters who didn't think a no-deal Brexit would be possible is a lot larger than the winning margin.

And then the leave voters believed the BS about the NHS too. The Referendum was ill posed and the voters were ill-informed, mostly through the fault of the government, the Leave Campaign, Billionaire donors and even Putin's involvement.

Smart Tips to Streamline the Bank Account Reconciliation Process by Experts
I think this article touches on two really interesting points: The first is whether people are able to correctly identify sexual harassment, and the second more elided point is the MeToo movements address of power structures.

On the first point, I think it's really interesting that even relatively respected people often come out with incredibly disingenuous arguments about how women's rights and the Metoo movement has made it simply impossible to know how they should behave[1]. I do say this is disingenuous, because people do know right from wrong, and people claiming they don't seem to think that admitting to a deep lack of moral judgement somehow shifts blame onto society.

Now, obviously, if you take the comments less literally - "I don't know how to behave" and more seriously "I don't like how society has changed to favour my group less" - you get to another troubling point. A more general attack on MeToo and women's rights that really comes from a place of giving very little value on women in society and very little value on having a meritocratic society when it actually impacts rich white men. Personally I find that troubling, those are not the sort of people I'd choose to work with. As much as you want to identify and stop instances of sexual harassment, we do need to tackle the wider problem of enabling.

The second issue I think is that MeToo essentially called out individual men for their behaviour. But what it highlighted, and basically failed to tackle, was that the men doing these things were almost always enabled by power structures that literally sided with the powerful man over the woman.

You would've thought this is what an HR department is designed to stop, but time after time, that doesn't happen. Take the example reported just this week where Google's response to a manager sleeping with a subordinate was to damage the subordinate's career and let the manager carry on. When Dave McClure was accused of inappropriate behaviour, he paid a price, but what people haven't really come to terms with is that Christine Tsai, his colleague at 500 startups was aware of the accusations, she knew what was happening, and whilst trying to cover for Dave publicly, didn't take the accusations seriously didn't challenge the behaviour and continually backed him. So what happened to Dave's colleagues that enabled his behaviour? She's now CEO of 500 start ups[2]. Do you think 500 Startups has more men like Dave at it? Well we don't know, but what we do know, is that if there were, the CEO of the company certainly isn't going to address that behaviour.

So actually, yes, it's justified for women to feel less confident because of MeToo- because MeToo identified these things happened, and did nothing to change the power structures and the people in these institutions that enable it.

What happens "regularly" is irrelevant, given the extraordinary circumstances. And it's not a matter of "overturning" the referendum -- Parliament could just pass a new Brexit deal and reopen negotiations. If BoJo wants a no-deal Brexit he should seek parliamentary approval for it.

well i mean you can frame any question of probability as russian roulette if you were determined to. the difference is, you go into russian roulette where absolutely dying is a guaranteed possible outcome, whereas what you were responding to exists more on a spectrum of possibilities, all subject to different risk factors external to this metaphorical game of russian roulette. im js that in terms of the game parameters, i think it's difficult to map something with so few to something with so many effectively.

In that post Linus says something I don't understand in that post:

"... So with a constant, we have

sizeof( 1 ? NULL : (int *) 1)

and the rule is that if one of the sides of a ternary operation with pointers is NULL, the end result is the other type (int *)."

Is Linus saying that the condition of the ternary operation doesn't matter if one of the sides is NULL? That it then always evaluates to the other side? That's not what happens when I try it. Or are there special rules when sizeof is applied?

I really hope our choices don't consist of merely "choose between Electron or C++". There's surely reasonably performant languages and frameworks with a more pleasant developer experience than either.

(considering where the bottlenecks probably are I doubt that the language itself is the problem - it's wrapping a browser that is. Even Python/Qt would probably be performant enough in this context)

I did Cocaine with my girlfriend to give her company, a few months maybe.

Then I convinced her to give it up after I did so myself. Now it's long time, and we are clean.

Why did we stop? I always knew drugs are bad for us, they promote neurotoxicity and damage brain. I tried to make her understand this many times but one time she nearly died with drug overdose after that she changed and we quit.

Few changes I noticed is that I became lot less combative in my arguments, became less concerned about my political and religious beliefs.

And more or less, I lost the anexity issue I used to have.

Bad see effects? I do not know of any, I've good long term memory and I do not notice any change in that either.

I understand drugs are mind altering substance and possibly neurotoxic which could be fatal for our brain.

Worst thing is that, many people get addicted to these and are never able to walk out of addiction. Luckily, that was not our fate.

So I think not all people are addicted to drugs and many can quit it at will whenever they want.

Legalisation would be better, although you can buy any drug in Europe but problem is that if you are caught with it or you overdose then how do you call ambulance? Many would be terrified if they overdosed and will die.

Talking with my doctor friend in EU, he says you can deny that you took drugs and claim that someone else put that in your drink or something and the case ends there but how many know it?

I don't know any poll where "No Deal" had a majority. Do you?

The voters now have a lot more information. They know the NHS claims were lies. They know which billionaires funded Leave. They know Putin had a hand in it. They know that the EU won't agree to the pie-in-the-sky one sided fairy-deal the Leave-voters have been promised for a few years now.

Why not hold a new referendum with more information and more precise choices?

On the flipside, the kernel developers are a group of people with a detailed understanding of what makes C unsafe, and how to watch out for it in code reviews. I'm not saying that every bug gets caught in code review, not by a long shot, but the kernel developers as a group don't have any experience with reviewing Rust code, let alone reviewing it for unsafe or undefined behavior.

We're still pretty early in Rust's lifecycle, and there is still a lot to be learned about what `unsafe` can really break, especially at-a-distance. The UCG WG is doing this work in [1], but I can understand if the kernel developers want to hold off on using Rust for more central parts of the kernel until this work is farther ahead.

It's not dismissed, it has a recess. The last prorogation was made in the 1940s to get Lords reformed.

Why lie?

Also, you know - presumably - that demographically the numbers of Remain voters exceeded the number of Leave voters by January (due to deaths, and newly qualified voters; with no change in voting patterns -- and there very likely has been a small move towards Remain). So the "million more" is a distraction from the full truth too.

The reason for the Queen exercising her Sovereign power is to prevent Parliament from being able to exercise their's. How Johnson PM was able to force her to do that is a mystery to me as I thought she had more respect for democracy than that.

Johnson is serving his masters' ends and not the country's; it's dictatorial. The Queen just let Johnson have her reserved power, and remove parliamentary democracy from control of the country.

Likening this to Hitler's seizing of power seems reasonable because it is that important, if Johnson's masters wish to push some other agenda they have the opportunity now.

People who are being told after many years of residence in the UK that they have to leave no doubt see further comparisons.
not sure i agree with this:

"Don't start using nicotine if you don't have a preexisting relationship with nicotine,"

why not? its been shown to be a very effective nootropic with little more side effects than caffeine, peoples chosen delivery methods (smoking, vaping etc) may be potentially harmful but the chemical itself is actually not that bad, a nicotine patch for example will do you little harm, it may even be beneficial. Smokers dont die from nicotine they die from everything else that comes with the nicotine

this may seem nitpicky but i think its important to know the difference, as they say "the devil is in the details" example someone dies from taking "ecstasy" the chances that they died from the actual MDMA are pretty slim, its far more likely they took a pill with some unknown mix of chemicals which caused it. taking a correctly measured dose of pure MDMA is pretty safe for a healthy person

things like that are what have demonized so many chemicals over the years and stunted research into using them for medical purposes, its only in very recent years this has started to change following the realisation/acceptance that the various component chemicals in cannabis have significant medical applications

I'm not sure that demonstrating that Major used prorogation to avoid scrutiny of a scandal really changes much. So we're agreed that PMs prorogue Parliament for abnormally long periods when they want to avoid awkward questions? Why might Johnson be doing that now? Why risk all of these negative headlines to avoid just four sitting days?

Of course, it's also absurd that Parliament has carried on with its usual summer and conference recesses as if nothing important is happening.
I think we should just evaluate Rust based on its merits. Ignore fanboys and ignore the opposite as well.

In other words, Rust is just another tool. Regard it as one without subjective emotions either way. Be constructive, don't only look for faults, but also ways how to overcome them. But don't close your eyes from them either. Acknowledging weaknesses is the first step to improvement.

Some possible questions and measures to consider below. I'm sure there's a lot more to add on this list.

1) Stability. Other than for development, unstable kernels are a no go. Can possible negative effects be mitigated?

2) Security is often what Rust is expected to bring on the table. So is Rust actually more secure in the environment kernel requires? This could be tested by "clean-room" reimplementing something that is historically known to have many security issues.

3) Are there showstoppers for kernel builds? Interoperability, build performance, architectures unsupported by Rust, etc. If so, could these be mitigated? Conversely, is there something positive Rust could provide?

4) How does it affect runtime performance? Average case. Bloat issues? Any pathologic cases? Any benefits?

5) What other unexpected it brings on the plate? Both benefits and disadvantages. For example, could Rust types also be used to catch errors other than memory related, like invalid states?

6) <Your consideration here or above>

> Once you start doing the thing you were nervous about, it becomes much easier and less stressful.

This is not necessarily the case. Sometimes you lack confidence with good reason because you are (currently, potentially will always be) unsuited to the task at hand, so you become nervous and stressed. There is nothing wrong with this either. Sometimes, it is worthwhile to persevere other times it isn't.

The hard thing is to know when to persevere and when to quit.
Of course I can be bored.

I want to work at the company I work for -- it has a great culture based on a lot of trust and openness, the people are fun, we make tech choices that I agree with, we work on things I think are important, it's important that I am here because I know all our systems and can immediately spot code problems on more junior programmers' screens when they ask for help, the company is financially sound and it pays well.

It's just that my actual work is often too easy because I have done similar things too many times, and thus I get bored.

That's nothing to do with fear and I still want to have this job.

If I recall correctly, Torvalds already addressed the hype around this ( totally not new ) idea by pointing out that memory errors really make up only tiny part of the intricacies of building a kernel. This idea predates Rust, and for better or worse will probably outlive it.
