Rust doesn't have LTS releases. Editions are both a way to market the new features introduced in the past years as a "bundle" to outside users, and a way for us to introduce some breaking changes for the users opting into the new edition. The release an edition is stabilized in (1.31 for Rust 2018) does not get any special treatment from the Rust team though, and that includes no LTS support (for example we won't backport bug fixes, even security ones).
There seem to be some false dichotomies here that are based on some hidden underlying assumption. I would recommend reading [1] to try and unriddle some of them. As a general idea, there is no secret behind VC and there never has been. To attract money, you need to either provide something that's already valuable or something that has promise of being more valuable in the future.

I don't disagree that the SNCF is contributing extra (estimate 1-2B a year given 130k employees), but it's not paid by the workers, it's not taken off their salary. It is a perk and it is not taxable. Bearing in mind, the total amount even with the extra is nowhere near enough to cover the actual benefits.

2018 results say 33B in revenues, 141m in profit. I stand corrected, it's not losing money every year lately, it's about even.
Not a valid solution but I thought maybe SpaceX could launch a bunch of telescope satellites that could be used by hobbyists.
Some patients have a lot of pills to take, and they would rather pay more to take fewer. Maybe they have trouble keeping track of them, maybe it is just pill fatigue. Maybe they have trouble swallowing for one reason or another. Combo pills could be a good thing for a subset of the population. Sure, it requires doctors to be on top of their game and patients to research what they are taking and ask questions, but that doesn't mean it isn't a good idea to have it available as an alternative.

As to the question about why it is taking so long at the FDA, I imagine it isn't a very high priority because there are alternatives.
I'm sorry your post seems to have been downvoted. To me, it reads like the voice of experience speaking. I've never been to Finland, so your thoughts add to my idea of what it must be like.

No, whether they've ever served time or not is irrelevant in this case.

It's a false equivalence, because they're not suitable for the role in the first place.

A better question is, would I let a pedophile who served their time work at McDonald's? And the answer is, of course. They need a job just like everyone else.
I think we might be talking past each other, because I never claimed otherwise. My point was that LLVM-IR is not a solution to anything becase LLVM-IR would have the same problem, LLVM has a separate release schedule from gcc. I think using the MIR is the best alternative which does not require writing and maintaining a separate frontend from rustc.
Sorry for any confusion, I looked at the numbers both ways. As posted elsewhere:

There will be 39 million folks in their 60s in 2040.
Disclaimer: I'm a long-time Vim user who can't stand editing text without the modal editing paradigm anymore.

Emacs is a competition to Vim, because it has a couple things that Vim does not have:

1. It can understand that a certain part of a file is written in one language and another in another language; and then give you appropriate syntax highlighting, indentation etc. in these specific parts. Vim can't do that.

2. It is an actual GUI application as opposed to GVim which is basically a terminal with vim and a toolbar. It (Emacs) can render proportional fonts, which is really nice when you edit org/LaTeX documents.

3. Its scripting language is a lot nicer to work with.

For these reasons, whenever I can, I use Emacs with evil-mode. For the occasional editing of a file on a server or an embedded device I will still fire up vim (or vi in the latter case, since then vim will usually not be available). I encourage you to try it.

I question one of Twitter’s strategy’s: not having a paid plan

There are several web properties that I use and cheerfully pay about $5/month to support.

I get value from Twitter because I follow some awesome people whose tweets helps me efficiently keep up with interesting new papers, tech, github repos, etc.

It baffles me that there is not an option to pay $5/month for an ad-free premium account.

I live quite close to what is now crystal palace park. I would have loved to have seen the building, even in ruins. It boggles my mind how the Victorians even managed to relocate the entire structure from Hyde park, especially given that the crystal palace park site is on the top of a massive hill (in fact one of the highest points in greater London).
The park now is a nice place to go walking and hang out in the summer. There's a natural bowl area which would be great for concerts if only the local council can get their act together to refurbish the stage.
Warmer waters hold less oxygen. This is fundamental, scientific fact..

The article specifically mentions the relatively small problem of run-off, and then the broader problem of, you know, entire oceans. A relatively constant, albeit still problematic, issue with runoff is pretty mild compared to the potentially for extremely wide-scale change from climate, hence the alarmism.

To snidely quote from the beginning of your reply-

"Boy are characterizations like this getting tired."

Have you considered an apprenticeship? I'm sure it isn't ideal for someone who seems to have a lot of drive and probably is use to handling every detail. But, if you can get a recent grad or promising young family-member/friend to join you, there may be ways to adapt. You could step back and focus on clientele and the big picture in addition to fostering someone else.
As an aside, this for me has always been the glaring difference between continental Europe which is largely under a civil law system, and Britain, which has a common law system (and hence, the US, Canada, Australia…)

The different systems are completely at odds philosophically and require a completely different attitude, which explains so much - Brexit and the antipathy of many Brits towards the EU, and the EU itself are the current exemplar of this - but pick any of the contested parts of the US constitution (like freedom of speech or right to bear arms) and you can gauge support either way by answering the question "do you understand/prefer common law or civil law?"

If you don't trust the citizenry to make decisions for themselves then paternalistic authoritarianism is your preference, and we all know where that leads.
It is at least not hypothetical for the US. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/05/photos-of-an-nsa...

Here's one maybe-reason and one definitely-reason VSCode cannot replace vim for me:

1) Logs are often compressed. Can VSCode open .gz files? Vim behaves pleasingly unixy: 'zcat logs.gz | vim -' opens the file pretty quickly in vim. No fuss with explicit de/recompression. This also ties in to the usual "but ssh" argument, since of course you're likely to be getting logs on remote machines.

2) Bash pipelines are usually an iterative affair. It has some tricks in place to mitigate the issues of very long commands. C-x C-e will open vim to allow you to enter a command, and fc will open vim with the previously executed command already there (short for fix command).

Lastly, vim has an expansive collections of extensions. So much so that if vim is ever "not enough", then neither is VSCode, and I should just use a full IDE.
It will be interesting how they solve it without causing thermal issues. Just absorbing all light won't work, the energy has to go somewhere and the only viable way to loose it is through radiation (not much air around even in these low orbits). Maybe the satellites will be black on the earth-facing side and radiate heat on the other side?

My impression from the article is that they launch one coated satellite just to see if the coating helps at all, and how bad the thermal issues get, so SpaceX is still in the early stages of solving this. But if they keep up with launching 60 satellites every 2-3 weeks for the next months they have to make progress fast.

I don't play many games but I remember playing the original Ghost Recon and being impressed/frustrated at the fact you can die with two shots and you have very little sense of where they came from. The second shot could follow soon after and still none the wiser.

I'm not sure if other games (indeed, other games in the same series) followed that pattern, I enjoyed it though.
If you read an article citing the conclusions of an international group with 15,000+ experts in their respective field, many member nations and their scientific establishment, etc, and you believe some random comment by some random guy on the internet adds "clarity", you need to really reconsider how you evaluate information.

This is how we ended up in the situations of enormous ignorance in the climate change and immunization realms, as if scientific rigour, consensus, statistical and foundational fact, etc, are all contentious the moment some random blowhard gives their opinion.
“No one thought of this,” she said. “We didn’t think of it. The astronomy community didn’t think of it.”

I really have trouble believing that nobody mentioned adding thousands of satellites would go unnoticed. It is damn near impossible to take any image of the night sky without having a satellite streak through the frame. I have plenty of images with multiple satellites visible at the same time. In wide angle timelapse sequences, they are just small dots that move against the natural movement of the stars. In longer lenses/telescopes, they appear as long straight lines totally ruining the image.

The first time I heard about thousands more of lower altitude satellites, my first thought was about this very thing. We had already had the discussions from the giant disco ball that was launched. It was planned to be short lived, but it caused quite the stir. Saying people at SpaceX didn't think about it is one thing, but to claim nobody in the astronomy community didn't is hard to take. Maybe they didn't have any way to voice those thoughts in a way that SpaceX could hear.

As I pointed out in another comment, the definition of the 2015 edition is still changing (i.e., features from 2018 are getting backported to 2015), severely limiting the usefulness of the "edition" concept.

E.g., if someone thinks "I'm going to target 2015 because I want my code to run on the rustc shipped with various slow-moving Linux distros", it doesn't help, because you might still not be able to target their code, unless they specifically target an older version of rustc, which nobody does.
On the other side of the coin, I don't think I've ever had a job in which anyone would have ever considered banning exceptions (although I have worked at some where people did know that some other companies did ban them). The world of programming is a very broad church indeed.
Honestly, sensational headlines like this are why so many people have a difficult time buying into climate change. If the media would present it as it actually is then I think more people would get on board.

The thing is, most of the things you've listed already has certain standards (though some need to be tightened).

If you have any kind of likely violent history or mental illness, you shouldn't get a gun period, regardless of whether you were arrested and convicted or not. If you can't pass a commercial driving test or ever showed up drunk to the job, you shouldn't get a license. You can't vote until you're 18. And so on.

So I think the right way to frame this isn't "felons won't get back X rights" but rather "nobody gets X right who has relevant evidence they can't handle it responsibly".

Except for voting, which is such a fundamental right it arguably shouldn't be denied to anyone unless they're below a certain age or mentally incompetent.

> The consequences of exaggerating the Soviet threat were vast...

It strikes me as revisionist to sit here in the comfort of the present and say the threat was exaggerated. We came awfully close to nuclear war. By the grace of providence, it turned out okay, and there wasn't a WWIII between nuclear powers (yet), but that outcome was never assured.

> A cold war with China is likely to be much longer and more costly than the one with the Soviet Union

This appears to be the conclusion of the article, but it comes out of nowhere. There is zero support for the article's main thesis. Disappointing.

State of Valhalla/Section 2: Language Model

I dont think the law can be modeled as a logically consistent set of rules, because there are so many laws that its always possible to apply correct deductive arguments to arrive at different "correct" conclusions which contradict each other.

A much better model is to view the legal system as a tool used by the rich and powerful to exert their domination over the oppressed classes. This has historically always been what the law was for, going back all the way to ancient Rome. This is also what makes the concept of a "rule of law, not of man" such a revolutionary concept.
While I agree with you, it's not unreasonable to try to correct for expected press sensationalism.
China typically does not provide toilet paper in public restrooms. In some of the international tourist spots, they tried giving away toilet paper and locals would steal it. So they put in facial recognition and QR codes to dispense it. Source:

You're conflating "cheap" as price with value ((quality & quantity)/price). Junk is still too expensive if costs too much. Jack in the Box is terrible food but the location just south of the Googleplex on Shoreline has outrageously high prices ($20-25 average with tax for a male late teenager or large adult male). That's low value crap. If it were monetarily-cheap, in addition to nutritionally-cheap, then it might make sense every now and then.
SpaceX directly profits from space enthusiasm, and having their in-house satellite team design such satellites (during downtime, as practice or testbed, etc) and launch them using unused capacity on existing launches would be way cheaper than anything NASA could do. It's not as absurd as it seems at first glance. Not a good replacement for a proper solution, but a nice idea for something they could do in any case.

Although note the Cranelift backend has quite different goals from GCC and LLVM, being optimized for compiler speed over runtime performance, and is very unlikely to support many of the obscure backends that GCC can target.

Yeah, I think my biggest concern (as a senior) would be negotiating ownership stakes in the case of an actual product launch. It could end up being tough to make sure the junior is satisfied with their stake but also realistic about it.
They announced their plans years ago. The astronomy community could have raised concerns then. The fact that they didn't would indicate nobody connected the dots.

One person can be creative in one task and uncreative in another. There are plenty of people who just "clock in, clock out" at work but have creative hobbies. Even if all people are creative in some way, society will work as long as there's an impetus (like money) to do the menial work.

It's a problem when some people think they have to always be creative, otherwise they're "boring."

Just in case you were unaware, Firefox has extended support releases [1] for environments where rapid releases are too much hassle. This is a supported option from Mozilla whereby you get security fixes but the feature set doesn't change for 42 weeks. Which is to say that ESRs aren't some odd admin policy, but rather part of the supported Firefox line and widely used in bigger companies.

Apologies if you were aware and were talking about some other admin policy. I've run into other devs that weren't aware, so thought I'd share.

> they will also have a lifetime ban on standing as candidate in any election and from participating in any way, including as an ordinary voter. No more democracy for you motherfucker.

This I can't agree with.

Punishment can be a deterrent and preventative and also retributive, but there's no reason it needs to be "eye for an eye" retributive. A prison term and fine is enough.

In my eyes, voting remains a fundamental right no matter what you've done, the very basis of our entire system. After all, the state can abuse its prisoners (denying medical care is a common one, but the list goes on) and they can have legitimate needs which require representation. There is no reason they should be denied a political voice as long as they are still citizens, no matter what they've done. To claim otherwise is to deny their fundamental humanity.

And convicting political opponents falsely or under slim evidence so they can't stand for office is a tried and true technique for silencing opposition in many countries. (See Lula in Brazil most recently.) If someone has committed a crime, you shouldn't make it illegal for them to run. Let voters make the determination.
I think the lowest possible reflectivity is desirable. Space isn't perfectly black but very close to it. Any reflectivity means you sometimes reflect something very bright like the sun and sometimes nothing, so you have the wrong brightness no matter what you do. Black dots are at least fairly unambiguous.

Maybe if they'd had their white nationalists cleared out by outside influence it would have. That's what it took with Germany, they should thank the Americans for their part in that.
