You have to think about memory management. No matter what rust evangelists say, you have to think about it. Well you don't have to worry about it like in C. Of course rust is intended for safe performance-critical programming. GC is fine for a significant portion of software.

The ruby / javascript webshit culture creeping in - lot of microdependencies which can often be hard to audit. Projects like cargo-crev aren't getting any traction.

Crates.io - the package registry lacks namespacing. That means package names have to be choosen carefully and you might here phrases like "import data from cabbage to rabbit using chickenshit crate" etc..

Async runtime fragmentation because stdlib doesn't provide one.

Very small standard library. Many things need you install a crate which might come with 40 other dependencies. This kind of dependency counts are fine for creating webshit but sometimes you need to audit your dependencies, especially rust is intended for low level programming.

Horrible compile times. You might think rust has better compile times than C++ because it has a module system. But compile times are similar. Rustc emits large chunks of LLVM IR. Not faulting people working on rust for this - but they have a shortage of talent. And rust community's zealotry makes lot of people sceptical.

A very zealot community which also happens to be very active on programming link aggregators. You might get downvoted irrationally for simply critisizing some flaw of rust. You keep on hearing zero-information / out of context statements heralding rust. This is partly a consequence of influx of people from blogging-heavy ruby and javascript communities. Especially the javascript crowd has an Instagram feel to it. Some people among these have marginal knowledge of computer science concepts and still show up everywhere heralding rust.

No structural typing. This may be flaw or virtue - people from dynamic typed languages may like structural typing as in Go or OCaml than nominal typing.

The US doesn't care about your other nationalities. If you have citizenship or permanent residency in the US you need to file taxes (though despite what the other poster is saying, you may not actually need to pay any taxes).
The job of a maintainer is to reject PRs. So yeah, they are falling behind in saying no, maybe they just don't want to say no, so they let them sit. Happens everywhere.
A civil war can put the government in danger, a few individuals paying a bit more taxes than usual is nothing but extra profit to spend.
The government is not your friend and it cares about you as much as a mafia boss cares about his protegees.
Well the GP might not live in the US. I don't, and I have never seen anybody use one of those and I don't know anybody who does either, and I haven't seen them in series or movies either (except sci-fi AI movies). For all I know, an Alexa is just a device to order toilet paper from Amazon when it's out or maybe use it to turn on and off the light in the room if you're too lazy to do it yourself.

Is the demographic that uses these preferentially si-valley people or is it widely spread in the US?

BTW I'm not particularly against home AI assistants myself. But I'm fairly against streaming my audio to a third party that can transcribe and give everything to any snooping fourth party though :) I did read about Google doing this with their assistant's audio, it ended up at contractors doing manual transcribing.
The amount of extra time needed to sift through network jitter isn't really that huge. It's far less than what people imagine even with basic statistical techniques.
Thank you, that's nice of you to say, but I claim no special insight here. I just happen to live in the UK where these issues are relevant and to have some professional experience dealing with them.
Haskell didn't solve a real problem.
Those numbers seem extremely unlikely. I would think that almost no 17-year old owns a car and also has two children. That would mean that people with one or no child, or not owning another car, account for only 10% of Ami drivers?
GDrive doesn't download the model checkpoints correctly sometimes, leading to the following error:

```
# Setup model

I get an error in the function call 'prepare_model'

UnpicklingError: invalid load key, '<'.
```

Try rerunning the download cell if you experience this - the models downloaded should be around 1.5-2GB, so if the checkpoints are 100kB in size, the download's gone wrong.

Youtube-dl seems to be widely used behind the scenes, for example in Mpv, right? This wasn't obvious from using mpv.
I agree. The stance "I defer to the experts" is potentially very damaging to the growth of knowledge, and can quickly lead to what philosopher of science, Imre Lakatos, called a 'degenerative paradigm,' where increasingly elevated credentials represent increasingly less actual skill and knowledge.

While credentials perform a necessary function, they are a placeholder, an IOU, and not themselves final grounds to accept a claim. They ought not to be treated as a primary source, and a claim based on a bare assertion of expertise should be accepted provisionally and only on the understanding that support can, in fact, be provided if the matter is pressed.

In short, your definition is a pretty good one.
I would draw the line well before that.
You can still use old mopeds like the Simson S50/S51 that were allowed to go 60km/h and got grandfathered in.
That’s why they are still very popular to this day.
It's not targeted towards that. It's a 30 year old research language that is still ahead, and I don't really see a reason why it should change in any way towards businesses. If anything, it should lean more into research to keep ahead. I do not believe catering to anything in the corporate area will result in anything equivalent to the decades of research.
It's not exactly the same category of software. It's a download manager, not a video extractor/scrapper.
I have a couple of Google Home Minis but I never paid for them, one was gifted by Spotify and one by Google when they were getting rid of their stock of the old model. I usually use them to control the lights and Spotify/Netflix when I am too lazy to get off the couch in the middle of an episode. They are also getting less and less useful because the voice recognition is getting steadily worse (false negative and false positive recognition of wake-up sentence has easily doubled since I got them). I could easily live without them but I still think the technology is cool. When they stop working I will probably look for a full-blown local alternative that doesn't rely on the Internet.
In Sweden Webhallen and Inet mostly sells computer parts, but also things like Lego and other toys.

> 3.1.3(d) Person-to-Person Experiences: If your app enables the purchase of realtime person-to-person experiences between two individuals (for example tutoring students, medical consultations, real estate tours, or fitness training), you may use purchase methods other than in-app purchase to collect those payments. One-to-few and one-to-many realtime experiences must use in-app purchas

In Sweden, via-app medical consultancy gets a standard way for this services as a first - line support.
Payment for this is fixed and goes to the registry, where after certain amount of payments, you're getting free consultancy (It's by the health care system).
How they are going to handle that?

Too me this new guideline is like a wide net - most of top application will have to violate some rules there, but in case of miss subordination (like Epic) then having that rule is a simple case in court.

A friend want to do real time speech to text of phone calls for a call center client. They want to capture the customer side of audio which is listened by customer care agent. How to build the part to extract stream of audio from this call conversation. Once extracted it would be passed to speech to text streaming API to do inference.
I've lived in cities with no public transport. I've lived in a few with only cabs - one city had cabs so bad that you couldn't reliably use them to get to work. (no pre-order, waiting time 10minutes to 2 hours). One had busses that didn't run late enough for 2nd shift to get home and didn't run at all on Sunday. Most of the time in the US, you cannot get from one city to another using public transportation. It took moving to Norway to live in a city with decent public transportation - and I know the countryside doesn't have as many options, even here. It seems a bit expensive, but I'm so very happy to have it nonetheless!

Many cities lack appropriate and affordable public transportation and force folks to buy a car. If you live in a town large enough to have shopping centers and you work in that same town, this car would fit well.

Unfortunately, living in a rural area actually makes these cars more difficult, at least in some places in the US. There are roads you couldn't drive on due to speed, and your commute would be longer. Unfortunately, the roads you need to take are also the roads that get snow cleared less often and seem to have a higher rate of disrepair.
Yeah, even considering similarly template heavy C++, rust compiler generates large amounts of LLVM IR and crate-as-compilation-unit doesn't help.

GSoC Reports: Benchmarking NetBSD, third evaluation report
The thing is why should we need radar, cameras or ever people to behave like saints to obey speed limits?

Every major vehicle manufacturers is working on self-driving. So just how difficult would it be for them to make cars now as an intermediate step that actually obeyed the speed laws?

In the UK, The National Police Chiefs Council stated that speeding is believed to be a significant factor in 17 fatalities and 126 serious injuries on the country's roads each month. Globally ...

I don't know how many people the vehicle makers should be allowed to kill and maim because of a speeding problem that is entirely technically preventable. But at the moment it feels like they are getting away with something that is uncomfortably close to murder.

I don't see any real purpuse for cryptocurrencies that benefits the greater good, to be frank.

Based on my experience as a developer and user I can't understand how PayPal got so big and ubiquitous.

I had the worst experience ever in trying to set up our recurring billing system with them, wasting several days of work, to the point that I simply gave up, switched to Stripe, and got everything up and running, in production, in hours.

Even as a consumer I had a terrible experience when trying to send money abroad, for my rent, with Xoom, a PayPal service. They initially took the money from my PayPal account, told me that the money was on its way to the recipient, only to block it some days later for non specified reasons (refunded in my account). On top of that, I lost the option to use my PayPal account to send money, for what appeared to be a technical issue.
Even if the system appeared to give me the option to use my PayPal account as a source of funds, telling me that the accounts were indeed connected, then when actually sending the money the option disappeared.

To solve the issue I called Xoom, they told me that there was no way of reconnecting my account and that I had to contact PayPal. So I did and they told me that they couldn't do anything and that I had to contact Xoom. After few exchanges back and forth like these, I simply asked to close my Xoom account so I could open a new one and restore the link between my Xoom and PayPal accounts, but they told me that that was not possible and that to cancel Xoom I had to cancel also PayPal.

So I gave up, used another service and got my money to my recipient.
At least it is capability based instead of yet another Unix clone. Not that any one of these are significantly better. But the rust crowd heralds redox as very innovative OS.

Trying to standardize binary as a flexible and general purpose interchange format is unwise IMO. UDP and TCP (and other protocols at that level) are about as far as we can standardize binary formats - This is as specific as they can be whilst still being generally applicable to a wide range of use cases.

My problem with ProtoBuf is that you can't impose more a more rigid structure and get more compatibility at the same time. A more rigid (statically typed) structure is inherently less compatible/interoperable (requires more integration effort, not less; harder to debug, not human readable, not searchable etc... More integration effort = less compatible, less interoperable).

8. Set timeouts for the maximum time a client can take to send a request.

For Example, the attacker will send a GET request using many small packets with a large time gap between them. They do this by first sending the “G” in its own packet, after a while they will send the “E” and after some more time the “T” and so on. While this is a legitimate behavior according to the HTTP and TCP protocols, this behavior is consuming a lot of resources from the server – it has to keep the connection open, waiting for the full request to arrive. Since the connection pool is limited, it is very easy to reach pool saturation, with very little traffic.

is the raw API data accessible ?
My landlord installed a meth detector in my home which looks like a large smoke detector on the ceiling. It apparently communicates via the mobile network, but I have no idea how it actually measures meth. I doubt it actually measures anything (the product is made by http://www.methminder.co.nz/ but there is no actual information there). Point is, it makes tenants feel less secure. Which makes landlords feel more secure (ironically, products like these exploit the moral panic and lack of security that landlords feel regarding the meth crisis). Even if this Alexa for Landlords does nothing nefarious, its real purpose is to create that feeling of insecurity that landlords want.

Maybe, just maybe, the landlord is listening. And we better not refuse the device because maybe they'll get the idea that we don't trust them...
Nothing is stopping you from reusing the plastic bags. My plastic bag accumulation rate is low because I always have one or two - they are very small when folded - in my backpack.
To play Devil's Advocate right back at you: it could be argued that one of the reasons cryptocurrencies are so volatile is that governments around the world seem to be lining up to try and suppress them or regulate them into irrelevance or oblivion, in one way or another.

How stable do you think the prices of fiat currencies or assets such as gold would be, if governments were constantly trying to ban them, regulate them out of existence, render their use nigh on impossible, or otherwise stigmatise their usage?

Governments around the world are terrified of 'the people' being able to conduct financial transactions without themselves [government] and the financial sector getting a cut. They also loathe the idea of the anonymity and pseudo-anonymity cryptocurrencies offer. Government wants to know, at all times, where you are, where you go, who you associate with, what you say or write, what you spend your money on... etc. etc.

To a large extent the populace has given them much of this on a plate already by voluntarily carrying mobile tracking devices wherever we go and by paying for most of what we buy with our debit and credit cards. Widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies would really put a spanner in the omni-surveillance works and must therefore be stamped out at all costs.

Python has its own AST generator, type annotations and is embeddable easily via some helpers. Civilization 4 had it, so it isn't that uncommon. Not sure how fast it needs to perform once embedded, apparently you know.
I think the actions should go on both producers and consumers. Taxes, and also mentality changes, in my case, I produce almost no garbage, because I eat fruit foraged outside, and other local organic food. My only garbage in a year is: 10 rice plastic bag (5kg bags), a toothpaste tube and a toothbrush, a few soap bars plastic wrappings. That's all. That yearly volume you see, that's what most people produce in one day in developed countries
But also the owners of the means to produce soybean and grain are happy that they can cut out the middleman and sell their product direct to consumers rather than as animal feed. They will end up with more wealth.
All mopeds and all the mopeds of my friends were changed to 75cc. Some also changed the escape, and it used to be extremely noisy, but made the little engine faster. A friend of mine had a horrible unstable moped (Califfone), but it was tweaked to the level that it became dangerous to drive. That was in Naples in the 90s.

> there is no time for philosophical debates about wether the West has the right to lecture developing countries

I'm quite involved in conservation movements and this really is a huge issue if not the biggest. You can't simply just turn up and lecture them. It's incredibly counterproductive and everyone on the ground knows this while people sitting comfy in their home in Europe and the States nod approvingly at these justice warriors telling others far removed from their existence to reign in their ways.

Let reverse it:

Will the US reduce its per capita emissions to say the level of China? That would involve the average person reducing their carbon footprint by half, which is going to dramatically impact quality of life if done today.

How do think that would go down if some country told Americans to do that? How would the average person react to having that imposed on them?
