The biggest beef ESR had with the language as it looked like back in 2017 was the lack of a consistent story around async programming. Obviously the Rust of 2020 is rather more developed.

on the topic of COVID aftereffects, we just don't know.

maybe it becomes a condition that promotes encephalitis more easily, as an hypothetical example for illustrative purposes only, making people catatonic for decades. that particular epidemic turned 5 million people into those in-stasis zombies, and just put into wards for the rest of the century as no permanent solution was ever found. the actual epidemic occurred during WWI and was paled in relevance by the 1918 influenza. But without that influenza it would have been the bigger issue on its own.
Nobody is saying that it’s impossible for this to be useful. We’re saying the odds are incredibly stacked against it.

At best it is a Hail Mary in a 1v1 WVR knife-fight.

By modern air doctrine, this can pretty much only happen in the specific scenario where every other plane has been splashed, since nobody would willingly enter such a scenario if they could avoid it. Modern IR missiles are more maneuverable than planes, so the aggressor will have to have emptied their missile stores completely. And the defender will need to be in a position where they’ve exhausted every other possible defensive resource and be in imminent risk of being downed by the bandit’s cannon.

If all of that is true, it could be a last-ditch survival effort. If it doesn’t generate a shooting opportunity, you’re dead since you’ll never have a chance to gain the energy needed to stay on the offensive.

Nobody in this entire tire fire of a thread has come up with a single additional plausible scenario.

Completely agree. I lived and worked in HK a number of years ago and find China and Chinese people to be some of the most beautiful and interesting cultural assets in the world.

So it sucks that I likely will never visit again in my lifetime. China is already dying, the oppressionist leadership just is self-deluded and doesn’t understand it yet. The further you move away from liberal democracy with deliberately decentralized power, the more isolationist your economy becomes.

On the scale of years, sure you can manipulate markets, send elite spy teams to kill foreign dissidents, pressure other developed economies to buy your exports and respect your authoritarian escalations.

On the scale of decades you can’t. China foolishly underestimates how smart and hard working everyone else is, how easily a generation can be disenfranchised from Chinese exports, and how little of a threat Chinese cyber warfare truly is.

China is just a large, slow North Korea with enough starting capital to superficially appear OK in the short run.
Ok turns out I was way off, it's actually completely broken. Just ran the code, printed j at each index.

It's not even hitting odd indexes. Over half the array will be garbage at the end. I guess that would count as out-of-order though.
Maybe have the DMV be the notary for driver's licenses?
Every device/sensor communicates through a centralized bus which is essentially a messaging system (e.g. MIL STD 1553, ARINC 429). Furthermore, every device has a set of expected outputs for every internal or external input. You can build a software model that mimics that. Then it's just a matter of connecting your software to the bus. Flight control software aggregates sensory inputs from the bus, reconciles redundancies, and makes flight decisions.
That was the 2nd pararaph. The first paragraph was, "This is a huge update fixing many bugs and security issues, it also expands on the functionality of the new SandMan.exe UI component, Check out the full ChangeLog for more details."

Paragraphs 1 & 2 do not go well together, and I will never use this product, despite my having tested sandboxie itself in the past.

Odd Story: The single person listed on the github page also has a fork of the original DiskCryptor code. At a prior employers I had worked, we once wanted to embedd DC into a larger framework. After some time we were able to find people to contact. They were using some elaborate scheme to hide their identities and yet converse over the phone. Since it was an "Open Source" project, and we already had the source code, we had reached out to them as a courtesy and nothing more. In fact we had already found serious bugs that we had fixed interally. Yet, they demanded an astronomically high sum for the use of DC. What did we do? The room of us laughed at the DC folks on speaker phone, then we went off and finished our own framework without using DC.

There is a small segment of people on the fringes of the security industry who work for a government (trying to get people to use their product), are running from a government, have stolen code from a government, are involved with shady business dealings, etc. It's best to stay as far away from these people as possible at all times. I'm not saying the person who started this github falls into that category, but it's best to think about that before using what is a security product.
Yes.

I'm told the key to a successful CIA cover, is that the job needs to be boring, so that people who ask "What do you do for a living?" regret it (Think Ben Stein, talking about the joys of Accounting).

In his case, he started to get into his work. I think he actually began to make a difference in the world.

Also, he developed "doctrinal differences" with the CIA. Despite all the medals and whatnot, he was actually quite liberal and kind. It was difficult for him to deal with what clandestine service became.

This is a well put together video but I wouldn't take as drastic a view. I believe we have something to learn from everyone, it's just knowing what will work for you and what won't while being careful of not entering that cultish mindset. Everything in moderation.
I last visited China a few years ago. I felt a bit sad, because I felt like it was the last time. It was.

I got the same same feeling. They are building a new and technologically "better" Soviet Union, actually implementing a bunch of the ideas from Orwell's '1984' novel about totalitarian communism.

I feel (selfishly) happy that I got to experience Hong Kong a bunch of times while it still existed as free city.

The system is attribute based and requires an 'authority' to give you the attribute. After that the attribute lives on your phone and you can give it out to organisations or businesses asking for....:

- your name
- whether you are >= 18
- your address
- etc.

What's great about it is:

- you can give out minimal information
- no 3rd party/intermediary required after you've received an attribute

A better question: how is it ever going to topple JS? I haven't written any other language in the last 8 years.
>It should be possible to write a wrapper that does "return the line"

Is it, or not? What's the point of lifetimes if you can't manage that trivial outlives-the-creator task in literally every other language ever with them? Why would a String be a big mistake?

You STILL think Rust is easy to learn?
You use composition and leverage the Deref trait to make the methods of specific fields available on the parent. This works on arbitrary levels of nesting which makes it look like OOP, but depending on what you're doing this is a good idea or not.

https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=nightly&mode=debug&editi...

As you can see this can be verbose, but you could have derive macros (like the Debug one I'm using here) to do this boilerplate for you.

An alternative way of dealing with OOP inheritance is by using traits, where you implement the behavioral relationships by writing new traits for the behavior you want, adding super traits for them.

The problem with fear of the unknown is the set of the unknown is infinite. Maybe you are patient zero of a brand new super-influenza that's going to wipe out 90% of humanity. Is that hypothetical less likely to occur than some 'unforeseen consequences of covid' scenario? There are hundreds of viruses known to cause disease in humans and probably many times more that infect humans without currently causing disease. The potential for "we don't know, but what if..." scenarios is boundless.

The internet is important. When something is important enough, it is worth the risk. That's why people share secrets with their bank, lawyer, doctor, psychologist, etc.

We are squandering most of the potential of social media, because its design limits worthwhile conversation to hypotheticals. Since there's no reason to trust the honesty or motivations of anyone online, discussing actual data or life-experience is pointless.

Society is made stronger when businesses fail and workers get reallocated to more productive companies. Short term pain is necessary for long term benefits.

This logic is anathema to some people, who wish that the same stodgy old conglomerates exist in perpetuity like a government agency. But this would be suicidal.
An amusing retort, to be sure, but the "creator" could be an entirely automated process, akin to instantiating a VM or container.

In other words, God has been a replaced with a very small shell script.

So, even if an intelligent creator is ultimately responsible for our plane of existence, there may not be much in the way of intent or even observation associated with that responsibility at any scale we would find meaningful.

I spent a week in Albania last year and my experience couldn't be more opposite (obviously there's no civil war on at the moment).

I love the place and it's mostly because of the people. Never have I met more friendly laid back and helpful people.
For example, my airbnb host that I stayed with, for all of 2 nights, kept my large suitcase so I could spend the week in the south with just my carry-on bag. When I got back to Tirana not only did his brother come and meet me with it, he also dropped me off at my next airbnb across town and carried it in for me.

Somewhere I wouldn't hesitate to recommend others visiting. I'll be going back when I can and for longer this time.

For Australia as well. They recently gave an Australian citizen a death penalty sentence in retaliation for the ongoing conflict between Australia and China.

At the rate things are going, in another five years nobody from a liberal nation will be able to safely visit Xi's new hermit kingdom.

It's a shame. I always thought it would be nice to visit Hong Kong.
Of course I realize that, if you think I didn't you're missing my point. The naming conventions changed, and the kernel will run just as well either way. I personally don't care what a blacklist/blocklist is called, as long as things are clear and consistent. In some cases we will likely end up with even clearer terms. What disappoints me more is how much of an outcry there is over a simple naming convention change.

Can you explain to me why you seem to have such a strong opinion on this issue?
I don't know how China will cope with you not visiting. This may destroy the CCP altogether!
It doesn't take much time to exhaust yourself physically, at least to exhaust specific muscle groups. Systemic exhaustion (steady state exercise, like running) is another matter. It doesn't even cause sweating, as it is over too quickly. I have been experimenting lately with pushups to failure just before I turn out the lights and climb into bed. By failure, I mean MMF (momentary muscular failure), not being able to repeat the motion as hard as I try. An alternative is body weight squats by the bed, to failure. Pick the range of motion to be in the hard (low) part of the squat, move slowly (SuperSlow protocol is 10 seconds concentric, 10 seconds eccentric) to failure, and make it hard enough to fail in less than 90 seconds. Crawl into bed and fall asleep easily (after your heart stops pounding). Of course, you will also build muscle mass over time, which doesn't hurt.

"Consumer" tech hasn't improved at all in my estimation since about 2002. The hardware has gotten better and the software has gotten more bloated, but a modern gadget can do roughly zero things that a gadget from 2002 couldn't.

Detection of electricl signaling btwn tomato plants raises interesting questions
Again, if we say "let function" that is not accurate. let is an operator that creates a new nesting of the lexical scope in which it binds some variables, and then evaluates forms in that environment.

let implements something similar to what is achieved with a combination of special syntax in some other languages.

Lisp C

(let ((x 1) { int x = 1;
(y 2) int y = 2;
(foo x y)) foo(x, y); }

Both of these mean "create fresh instances of variables x and y, which are scoped only to this construct, initializing them with 1 and 2, and then call foo with x and y arguments."

It is. The reason it is not in the stdlib is because it is a foot-gun. Quoting myself from elsewhere in this thread[1]:

> Other languages aimed at ease of use will just allocate for you and give you the fully baked contents in a single fn call, but when you're writing code that 1) has to be called often enough where allocations can show up in your flame graphs or 2) the input is big enough that you can't realistically keep the entire thing in memory at once, you suddenly have to care about what the fn is doing internally. Making the default API for file interaction require you pass in your own buffer makes this explicit at the cost of some ease of use.

What? Why would your enemy lose energy here? This makes no sense; you are the one losing energy with this type of maneuver.

In a 2v1, if you’re the 1, you’re essentially already dead. Either you’re chasing one while the either is getting free shots at you, or you’re simply being chased by one while the other is providing support. Realistically, you’re running for your life with one hand already on the ejection handles. If you’re the 2, there will never be a need for this since the bandit knows that even trying to down one of you is suicide.

In a 2v2+, this kind of maneuver is just going to generate free shots for someone within a few seconds. You’ll be a sitting duck, and anyone can pull off a missile shot on you without even leaving their turning circle, particularly with modern helmet cueing systems and high off-bore missiles (fighter pilots can nowadays literally just turn their head, look at something, and shoot at it with high success rates).

I'm in the web field generally. Those I've spoken to outside of that field find Rust a much faster way to develop safe and stable programs that would have otherwise been written in C. Feel free to take this with a grin of salt. I suspect the C devs who don't like Rust haven't taken the time to discuss it with me.
The Italians' perception of pervasive corruption also works as a very handy excuse for further misbehaviour. Given the three corners of the so called "triangle of fraud"- motivation, opportunity and rationalisation- a widespread knowledge that everyone is corrupt provides a very handy rationalisation (everyone is screwing me, so it's my right to do the same to the others whenever the smallest opportunity arises).
No. One of my brothers might write something up, sooner or later, but that's speculation, on my part.

There's a lot of writers in my family.
