I’m not sure if you add a point or misunderstood but OP said: “people who are -Too- passionate about one thing”.

OP is only talking about people who are too involved in what they are doing, and not people with a lot of passion, and so this having bad effects on their life with neglecting the other important part of their life.

If it’s to be work by being workalcolic, video games, music... and being so involved that kids, family, and friends are neglected. To education when they are in high school or college and playing video games which I did myself, and their future is neglected.

I also saw first hand parents loving so much their job and their career that they were neglecting their children to the point where their kids were starting to show warnings and sometimes alarming behaviors.

Also as a side note we can be strongly passionate because of something outside being really negative in our lives so our hobby or anything is our way to escape that and do something for ourselves. Now that can be good. But. We should remind ourselves in this case that the long term solution will be to address the problem first hand and not to escape it even more, if it’s to hobbies, work, or anything.

> People changed behavior drastically.

That's a massive overstatement. I live in Geneva, one of the worst hit cantons (they say around 10% infection rate). Way too many people for a long time simply didn't care, the list of personal anecdotes is way too long to post here.

We all were seeing what is happening few kms south from our border, and government did nothing for almost 2 weeks. It was seriously ridiculous, all restaurants and concerts packed, when 50km south Italian hospitals were already flooded and news was everywhere. There was vote on top level of government which ended up in favor of keeping business opened, because money. People rarely using face masks, even during hardest hits not even half of supermarket shoppers wore masks, on streets barely anybody. Most of the supermarket staff didn't use any mask either.

Generally German-speaking parts were much less affected, I've heard many personal stories from friends that were verbally attacked and mocked on streets and shops for wearing masks (locals mockingly start coughing behind them in shop and rest of the staff having a blast). I know of several people that were fired back in march/april because they came to work in simple face masks due to them being immune-deficient, and management decided to fire them on spot for 'spreading panick', no discussion (if you are blue collar foreigner here, sometimes locals treat you like disposable piece of shit and don't even try to hide it).

Once laws were changed people started behaving a bit more sane, but far from ideal - many people on streets and parks completely ignoring 2 meter rule (even 1 meter). I saw an old guy sitting on bench in the park, coughing like hell, no mask, while on phone having laughs how other people avoided him, even police patrol which didn't even bother to talk to him.

How well this country fares now, despite all of this gives me hope that it ain't that bad with covid. Swiss didn't 'beat' it due to great behavior they showed, in contrary. My home country was much more prudent and restriction were quick and followed by almost eveyrbody, and they ended up with 5% of the Swiss infection rate, despite being of similar size. Of course it could be that it was still stellar behavior en Suisse compared to what common Italians or Spaniards showed, this I can't compare.
That's not a good C++ example for comparison because that's using templates.

The whole point of templates is to have "code that generates other code". Therefore, omitting the types as much as possible lets the compiler deduce types so the programmer doesn't have to manually write multiple redundant versions with different types.

With normal functions, one parameterizes values but templates lets you parameterize types so explicitly putting a return type defeats the purpose of templates.

In the context of the Rust blog, the comment about type signatures seems to be about ABI Abstract Binary Interface backward compatibility of libraries and not templates generating code.
It’s useful to look at the former design and see the issues there was with it. Check that you’re integrating the “lessons learnt”.

Also you can straight up reuse parts, which avoids the need to qualify them.
Hey, we are in agreement! It was really bad and racist when Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians people were excluded because of the color of there skin. Hopefully we agree it's really bad and racist when Whites, Hispanics, and Asians are excluded because of the color of their skin. You do agree, right?
It's not clear who you're meaning by "the good guys". None of the parties mentioned, maybe except openDemocracy (and not sure there) could feasibly have such a label applied.

How to improve the SEO of your website
Exactly.

So let's we have fraudseller_1 that sell something like iPhone.
Here comes honestbuyer_1 that bid for this item with $50.
Seller sees offer, but want to rise it.

Since seller can't use his own IP he is using some remote desktop to login somewhere else as fraudbuyer_1 (different account!) and bid $100. Then he wait honestbuyer_1 to bid again.
If this happens then two - fraudbuyer_1 and honestbuyer_1 can "race" (note the quotes!) for this item.

Of course this is simplified scenario because can be involved pack of fraud buyers to fool buyers.

I know some person IRL that was involved 10 years ago in such activities. So his friend sells vacation homes and buyers from UK bidding for them. But if seller doesn't like bids he call to that person to make bid from his own account. And of course to rise price with least $1000.

But... this can't be track using eBay since it's via phone call and no remote sessions. Today sellers using virtual desktops (RDP, VNC, TeamViewer or other) to do this.

86.1% of people using Rust love it. For C++ it's 43.4%. [1] You'd have to explain the disparity in the two numbers if you think they're loved for the same reason.

Further, Rust is mostly used by people who choose to do so. There are very few people out there forced into maintaining shitty, legacy codebases in Rust because there aren't very many such code bases ... yet.

Beautifully mediocre, but yeah it mostly works. (Never been able to use Signal so I can't compare, but Riot's encryption was completely broken until a few weeks ago, and now there is only the occasional "hold on, gotta fetch keys for 10 seconds" and slow scrolling up, etc. It can't compete with something like Telegram in terms of UX; it is infinitely better for privacy but it doesn't "work beautifully".)
I deleted my Facebook account years ago. I stayed with Instagram and Twitter, thinking I could just follow people in tech or other interesting people that would expose me to interesting news, etc, but I always found myself getting sucked back in to political news and other negativity. There is so much negativity on Twitter. It feels like the one-liners cause more contention because we can just make a quip about the other tribe - take that! - and receive quick praise from our tribe. I can sincerely say that not visiting Twitter or Instagram anymore makes me happier. I never gained much of value from it, at least not anything I can't find elsewhere.
>Is your claim that only certain groups feel racism? And are these groups defined by their race? If so, isn't that inherently racist?

No, obviously not. Otherwise it would be, for example, inherently racist to say that black slaves in 1700 felt racism whereas white colonists did not. In fact, the statement is both obviously true and obviously not racist.
Exactly. Hedge yourself from this insanity, because you ain't going to fix the world, and wait for the new world order. Most young people will probably disagree with this approach.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss%E2%80%93Howe_generatio...
I see what you mean but I think it is not totally correct to attribute this to a closed world assumption, after all state machines can have inputs and outputs. I would say the important thing is that in most of those scenarios there is an external feedback loop, the output affects future inputs and this makes the behavior unpredictable as you do not know the sequence of inputs unless you can accurately model the effect of the output on the input.

On the other hand that is not really different from a scenario without external feedback where you just do not know the input - if you do not know the sensor input, you can not predict the movement of the actuator but it does not really make a difference whether you just do not know the sensor input for arbitrary reasons or because of unknown effects of the outputs via the actuator on the sensor inputs.

Thermal throttling is a similar example, there is a feedback loop between the computations you perform, the heat this generates, and how the processor reacts to the resulting temperature sensor inputs. The unknown variable is again the sensor input, whether due to heat from the die are me removing the cooling fins.

Row Hammer is an example where the physical implementation has additional state changes not intended by the designer and which are even subject to variation in the production process. If you are just modelling the intended behavior than the model we obviously not be correct in cases were the unintended behavior is relevant.

In the end I would say that a computer is just a state machine as long as you stay in a regime where the physical implementation is not relevant but at some point this will break. But I also think that this is pretty academic, modern computers are so complex that thinking about it as a state machine will almost always not be useful at all, even in the most well behaved scenarios without the physical implementation becoming relevant or complex external feedback loops.
Just find something else to do that doesn't involve consuming other people's thoughts, ideas and feedback.
Come up with your own thoughts and ideas. Stop being a consumer, start being a producer.
Do it for yourself because probably no one else will agree with your ideas, but that's OK.
You can keep training yourself to express your ideas better.

Surely the websockets angle is a bit of a red herring?

Ebay will have your IP from your request so they can run nmap against your machine from their server without your browser ever knowing about it.

I also know of a bank that does similar via an old school sort of way, their online banking login page tries to load images from urls made up of your IP and various ports.

Presumably these are targeting known ports for online banking malware C&C http traffic rather than remote desktop services though.

And this is a bank that still uses frames 'for security', so it must be an old technique!

Moderna Investigation Initiated by Former Louisiana Attorney General
I was aware of Exploration vs Exploitation in regards to A.I. but never really thought of it in regards to living someone's life, so thanks for that.

If I never did any exploration, then I would have only ever been a writer. I didn't decide to pursue computer science until after putting together a personal website and programming games on my calculator while bored in class.

And if I never explored, I wouldn't have had any career in video games. While it was how I initially started learning proper programming, I wasn't seriously considering that as a career for.

And if I never explored, I wouldn't have gotten into designing board games, which is basically just system design but a lot more fun.

And to get your games signed, you have to go to conventions and talk to publishers, so I got used to traveling and getting more into that too. At least before the pandemic.

Or learning languages, or playing tennis, or hiking, or learning musical instruments, or drawing, or making electronic music, or cooking, or photography.

And within those fields, without exploration, I wouldn't have gotten recognition for multiple different game designs, and I wouldn't be writing humorous fiction, and I wouldn't have come up with two new game designs (and a total overhaul for another design) that got me really excited.

College, at least in the US, seem almost designed to facilitate that exploration. The general education requirements let you have some exposure to other fields, and you can choose to further explore the field by taking more classes or even change your major if you wish. I think some people forget that it's important to do that after they finish college sometimes, and get stuck in a rut in life.

I am probably overdue for a new different hobby, myself. I did take an ESL tutoring course just before the pandemic, but the pandemic hit before I got assigned a student, so that's on hold. It was really interesting to discover how to teach someone that can't speak your language very well, though, and I think I can use those techniques for other things, like my game designs.

Probably my biggest problem is getting to a point where I can say something is finished and move on to the next thing. Because of my background in games, I want to make my game designs very polished, and get them developed by a publisher, and whatnot, but that process takes a lot of work and a lot of time to find a publisher for your designs.

Like I still only have one game signed, not even released, after 3 years of pitching, meanwhile I have about 60 playable prototypes, about 15 of those polished to the point where they almost could be finished products. Like I created art, wrote rules, sell sheets, videos, etc...not professional art, but some publishers have said "I would publish the game with that art" to a couple of the games, so apparently not terrible.

I might try going the Kickstarter or crowd-sale or route at some point, but that's a whole extra level of effort that I'm not sure I'm ready for.

> The libraries being coded in C++ today will never be callable from Rust.

This is not true. The FFI story for Rust <=> C++ [1]is good enough that people are experimenting with it. Where I work at, most internal infra client libraries are written in C++ and now they're all available in Rust.

Your prediction that Rust and C++ will coexist for decades is almost certainly true. But I foresee that they'll coexist in many of those codebases. Code that operates on untrusted input will be written in Rust for security reasons while the rest of it is in C++ or Rust. That's the approach that Chronium [2] is experimenting with.

Then I would like that person to clarify how they judge who "hasn't felt the effects of racism", and how they're applying that to me.
While your comment is eloquent I have no idea which sweeping generalizations you see as problematic. What problem would empathy solve and how would it solve it?
> this largely is by choice for the average person

I would disagree. While indeed we're all in a sense free to choose, your environment can actually make certain choices a lot easier than others. We're indeed free to not have a smartphone, social media etc. but since there's now a social expectation to have those things, opting out may lead to social isolation. In turn, since you're almost compelled to opt in, you will be exposed to those things, which are designed to be addictive => there's a risk you will become addicted.

> I would argue been around as long as written history

Here I really have to disagree. For most of written history the vast majority of people spent a lot of their time outside, doing mostly manual work. Their equivalent of social media and news feeds were tales told by the elders and various community social events or ceremonies. No auto-pilot there, as far as I can see.
You are assuming that:

1. a nonwhite has SURELY experienced racism first-hand at least once in his life
2. a nonwhite cannot be racist
3. a white cannot have the required sensitivity with the subject

Wow.
A selection criteria based solely on a person's skin color is what racism is all about.
Then you will probably want to find something else to do every day, day after day, for years, yea?

> The body of the article is too verbose for my taste.

Kind of one of the points the article's trying to make I think. Our attention spans are shot to hell. I just read it in about 10 minutes with a couple of interruptions from the kids. Too verbose?
Yeah - I think all of that supports my point. Aside from security (which most users wouldn't be able to verify in any case) none of those things are relevant to low-traffic chat. i.e. "talk to our live advisors" or "collaborate with another user". The bandwidth and load is tiny and I can imagine handling hundreds or thousands of concurrent users with a traditional architecture and commodity hosting.
Algebraic data types, monads, and things based around those have tons of business value for writing correct business logic for non-performance critical code. You get that in haskell.

Though admittedly you can get them other functional languages that are not quite as different. Like Ocaml.
I think you're throwing the baby out with the bathwater especially when it comes to forums. Reddit, HN and SO couldn't exist without their voting systems. SO upvotes are an indicator of the quality of the question/response, they aren't there to hook anyone to the platform. And there's a level of personal responsibility on the user's side that you leave out when you simply say that any platform with a voting system is acting irresponsibly.

This is a repetitive concept in modern society, just look at astronomy 100 years ago. People want their science to be more science than it is. If you build your models on faulty foundations, they don't mean anything.

I recently disabled Twitter so I could really take a break from it. After a month or so I reactivated my account but didn't bother to sign in again on my phone, so now I check it once or twice a day in my desktop browser. I swear it's made a huge difference to my phone habits.

Still work to do though, as I've partially replaced that habit with frequently checking news websites. I think the advice in the blog post is great -- go for a long walk without your phone. Do this once a day if possible. Start to gently break the habit.
WhatsApp is opportunistic encryption by default, trusting the server to provide it keys. Pretty much nobody turns on showing when someone's key changes, and if you do and you verified each 's keys, the server can still learn the plaintext of at least one message by changing keys right when you send a message. Which is a very tiny risk, but it's just not what one would expect. It's as if your browser would continue loading a page with an invalid HTTPS certificate and show you a warning afterwards -- and only if you turned on showing that warning in the settings.

Even if you turn it on and you're not afraid of the server swapping the key when you send a message (which is fair enough), do all your contacts also have it turned on? And would they tell you immediately and out of band (otherwise the attacker can suppress or change the message) that they saw your key change?

But an even bigger reason I don't have whatsapp is because of Facebook. Metadata has already been mentioned by others so I won't repeat that.
