Err, NO, in democracy, people ARE the government. Maybe they don't represent you specifically or your friends, but they were voted in by your fellow citizens by majority.

Politicians, bar some exceptions, always represent the worst of given population. Sociopaths, power hungry, fucked up inside, very good presentation / talking. Always thinking how to use given situation and people around them to their advantage, and there can never be too many advantages.

The fact that people keep voting the same 1 / 2 parties over and over is a proof for that - nobody disagrees with them enough, en masse, to vote otherwise (or not vote).
In spite of its currently growing adoption, my prediction is that Rust will be replaced in a foreseeable future.

Rust brought a novel idea to the landscape of programming languages. The borrow checker is a great invention, and a great contribution to making applications more secure.

The language itself is way too complicated. The learning curve is steep. Improvements are made (e.g. lifetime elision) but they don't flatten the curve.

Macros are very hard to debug and understand. Which is even more of an issue when they are used by dependencies and something goes wrong. Error messages don't help. Macros are powerful but can hide too much magic. Plus, they are a language of their own.

"Why doesn't have this structure any methods?" "Oh, they are hidden in traits, provided by other crates, themselves leveraging other traits from other crates". "Still, it doesn't compile. Why?" "Oh, because of that generic that requires traits from yet another crate that are only available when some Cargo features has been enabled". Once again, this is difficult to follow and debug.

Zero-cost abstractions are great, but in Rust, they are overused. This makes the language less accessible, but also constantly causes dependency issues due to incompatible versions.

Rust is powerful but it is not optimized for developer happiness. Fighting the compiler brings anger, not joy. Sure, the compiler may have good reasons to complain. But as a developer, I'm happier and more productive when code immediately runs, even if that means having to fix bugs later. This is from a happiness view, not from a security perspective. But eventually, happiness turns into productivity.

It's too late to fix this. But now that Rust demonstrated that memory safety and speed were not incompatible, future system languages will feel obligated to provide the same properties, maybe by using mechanisms similar to Rust.

So, my prediction is that Rust will slowly be replaced by new safe languages that will be more accessible, more productive, more stable, and bring novel ideas of their own. But Rust will have made history no matter what.
Have you found that people are willing to make the investment at that price?
I’ve gotten blood tests done where the normal range for various parameters was listed as being different for different racial groups.

If there is no correlation between genes and “American race definitions”, how is this possible?
I looked into solving this efficiency problem using OCRs and my attempts were a disaster. It's amazing to me that voice recognition is moving along much faster than handwriting recognition. You'd think the second problem was simpler. Possibly more time and effort has been put into the speech problem.
This "race is a social construct" meme is something I have been trying to grapple recently.

I think the point is that races are based on a handful of cherry-picked phenotype differences. On the one hand, these characteristics are a decent proxy for human migrations in the past and might map to evolutionary events with clinical implications. On the other hand, another set of genetically conditioned characteristics would be similarly good at that. In an alternate universe, humans might have defined race based on hair color and height, and that would possibly match evolutionary history in another useful way.
Unfortunately I don't. I work less and less on the CRUD part of the apps, however as I recommended in another comment, Phoenix (Elixir's alternative to Rails) does that correctly: associations are used for the purpose of querying, not as methods.
In combination with isolated validations and the data gateway isolated, it's easy to achieve separation of concerns and have a more maintainable code-base.

Enough for what? Cheaper nuclear power on the grid may actually increase demand for other goods, so it's not clear how much the benefit would be.
Not really. More than in some places to be sure.

1. Until June 16, 2020, that you could be fired for being gay or transgender. And that's not even a blanket ruling, as religious institutions in the US are basically exempt from the Civil Rights Act protections.

2. It's still illegal to use one bathroom or another as a transgender person depending on which state you're in.

3. Transgender people are not allowed in the US military.

The list goes on, that's just kinda off the top of my head.
I had a similar experience but during 2014-2016. It’s very common with new grads to spend 6+ months applying to get a job (even if you have internships or work experience). Almost no companies will take the risk due to whatever stigma.

It took me about 2 years after college until I got steady employment. I think I had sent over 750 apps and interviewed at over 100 companies. Most of the time they were trying to get a senior software engineer (5+ years xp) but considered me because I was probably one of the only people who had applied to their place. My interviewing skills were/are still garbage compared to the competition though.
One aspect of the car industry that's regulated is headlights. https://www.carid.com/articles/brief-history-of-sealed-beam-... talks about the history of headlights allowed on autos in the US. There was a period when cars were required to have headlights that were interchangeable across all makes and models. You simply bought a round headlight.

Things have loosened up quite a bit but the US is behind other countries in allowing advanced lighting technology on cars: https://www.autoblog.com/2018/03/13/why-we-cant-have-better-... "This is because it doesn't adhere to the inflexible and archaic 50-year-old Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) that require all vehicles to have headlights capable of only switching from high to low beams and not blend the two together, which also rules out MB's Digital Light tech."

Fascinating find, but as the article implies, the climate/landscape of the Arabian Peninsula was very wet then, and what we call the Red Sea today was at time likely an estuary, so hardly a barrier.

So what we call Arabia and Africa weren't distinct land masses, and if anything it would be surprising if they were not inhabited by hominids similar to those nearby in today's Africa.

I paid off my 25 years remaining mortgage after selling some long-held TSLA, because I really didn't know where else to put it, especially with the election uncertainty coming up.

>Furthermore the law doesn't interfere with what's private. If that indeed was to mean "it's fine as long as you do not get caught", that's a pretty pointless argument when discussing laws

Wrong again, I stated several times that it's about the limits of law, yet you still keep ignoring the answer and asking if I meant X or Y. It's not 'pointless' because the hyperbolic statement about being punished just for 'existing' was made. At least try to be more charitable in your biased interpretation for the sake of civility.

>Someone who doesn't wilfully disrupt the social order should have no problems in that regard." suggests that's not what's meant though

I don't even see the how your inference makes any sense here. AGAIN it is about the LIMITS of the law, if you keep something private no one can punish you, but if you wilfully disrupt the social order it will have consequences in any place of the world.

That is not a good idea. Eat at least twice per day to moderate insulin and other hormones.

>To me, the most relevant difference between then and now is the looseness of the union.

To me, it is the terrifying ease with which instantaneous information/sentiment propagation can be utilized to sever one from a rational ground state and whip up a furor with which to push through an carve up of the Nation's civil liberties that truly sets us apart now.

Even reading literature from the time, it factors heavily in that to prevent misbehavior and oppression by a majority, there must be a realistic point of view taken as to the weakness of such a large mass to chaos and lack of coordination to operate in concert. This is a point that I don't think many truly appreciate that the Founder's understood and accounted for. To them, the majority was not always right. In fact, it would be accurate to state that the structure of government they settled on was designed to effectively serve the purposes for which it was intended, and no more; so great was the risk represented by such an edifice. The amount of Liberty preserved so great, and the sacrifice of civil freedoms was meant to be as minimal as possible, leads me to believe they saw legislation as more of a failure state than as a desirable State of affairs. At least in as much as said legislation did not tend to reinforce and preserve the Unity of the Nation as a whole.

>If California broke up into 5 states, they would get 5x the power by the holy virtue of making that administrative decision.

That is dead on point. By the way, Federalist Papers 6-10 touch on the ills of factionalism, and the delicate balance that must be struck between the number of representatives, and the population they represent. It was a conscious decision at the time to try to satisfy suffrage in order to safeguard the liberties of the Nation as a whole.
I'd recommend:

1. Identify a few projects you'd like to implement (toy ones if you want, or applications that exist in languages you already know well; or try to implement the Advent of Code problems: https://adventofcode.com/).

2. Organize them by your perceived difficulty of implementation (Advent of Code is already kinda organized in increasing order of difficulty).

3. Do your best to implement each project, experimenting with different approaches to architecture, testing, etc.

Having experience in many other programming languages, there are honestly so many different ways to architect and implement a Rust program compared to other languages (especially if you compare to a language like Go). Also, getting the hang of composition (with or without traits), when you come from other languages, is quite challenging.

The whole async/await thing is another story entirely. I currently do full-time Rust development and, tbh, I'm not totally convinced that async/await is always better in all situations. I started toying with Rust back in 2018 and have been doing full-time dev for a few months, and I'm still continuously learning new things.

The great thing about Rust is that it gives you so many options.

The terrible thing about Rust is that it gives you so many options :-)

You'd probably need to use the "default type parameter" feature for the alias otherwise std's Result is a breaking change and you have to use core's result to provide a custom error type, which I think would be a step back.

It's what anyhow does:

pub type Result<T, E = Error> = core::result::Result<T, E>;

That way you can still use `Result<i32, MyCustomError>`.

I don't know if there are limitations or issues with this approach though.
I currently work for a large company with a strict compliance team, so I'm well aware of the cost. We pay it, and it's both (a) quite a lot of money, and (b) an utterly insignificant fraction of our overall development budgets. I believe most major tech companies or well-funded startups do the same.

In the past, I've done other stuff less strictly (though again, certified modules--which you didn't seem to be aware of--are the quick, easy and compliant answer for many low-volume products). I was under no illusions that anything but the FCC's enforcement discretion was protecting me, though. Your concept of the law is simply wrong, wishful thinking. It seems there's nothing I can write that would convince you of this; but please discuss with a lawyer or other qualified person that you trust, before you or someone you're advising gets in to serious trouble.

Your viewpoint is particularly dangerous because if you look through the FCC's formal enforcement history, you'll see occasional massive fines, but only after the noncompliant entity ignored multiple attempts to resolve the matter informally. Anyone who acknowledges and corrects their noncompliance after the first threatening letter probably gets a slap on the wrist at worst; but someone who persists under the belief that a judge would let them disregard the text of the law to save $10k will (a) incur much greater legal costs regardless of whether they win or lose, and then (b) near-certainly lose.

You could say this system gives too much weight to the regulator's own interpretation of its rules. I wouldn't disagree; but it's how most regulation works, and the regulated ignore it at their peril.

Talking about someone having 'been beaten' by US while China literally puts 100's of thousands in concentration camps merely for being of a specific ethnicity ... as their organs are nabbed by the elite via 'body part' black markets.

All these issues have to be put in context: the scale, the type of abuses, the proportionality, the context, the risk etc..

9/11 was a 'very scary' moment in history, the likelihood that others were planning to do the same was very high, and legit terrorist organizations were operating around the world.

The response to 'non-uniformed irregular attack' was necessarily going to have to be equally as asymmetric, i.e. getting at bad people in the locations they were working form, as opposed to a battle field.

It gets a little bit pedantic to discuss 'human rights' when in conflict, people are exterminated 'in accordance with all UN/International laws and rules' sometimes pretty arbitrarily. For example, the teenager Omar Khadr who killed a US Medic on the battlefield was injured, and about to die. It was US special forces who them saved him, ironically so he could spend a long time in Guantanamo.

The paradox of the fact that were he not of 'special interest' - he would be 100% dead, and nobody, not 'Amnesty International' or the UN would put up a fuss, as he was shot lobbing grenades at medics.

US and EU laws are not designed for acute, wartime scenarios, the only real question is how rational and reasonable the management of force can be applied without breaking too many humane boundaries, and, how many 'mistakes' we are willing to make.

The CIA black cells are definitely a stain, but in the grand scheme of history, it's nothing. Civil, lawful and humane order was otherwise broadly maintained.
I kinda assumed it was meant to be a defense, not a confirmation of "yes, sharia law is maximally oppressive about it" with a generic point of "actually, you don't get punished for doing something illegal if nobody catches you".

Even healthcare, though, what's the Biden playbook on healthcare?

"Instead of starting from scratch and getting rid of private insurance, he has a plan to build on the Affordable Care Act by giving Americans more choice, reducing health care costs, and making our health care system less complex to navigate." This is a quote from the Biden campaign site.

As though letting anyone enroll in Medicare is "starting from scratch."

Compared to the Trump plan on healthcare which roughly amounts to: "Leave the Affordable Care Act in place because there really is no other option that anyone can come up with."

So, the Democratic plan is to leave private insurers be, so long as they cover pre-existing conditions. Which is the Republican plan. The difference is one is framed positively and the other negatively? Bumping up vs ignoring Medicare and Medicaid financing? Maybe? Even that's not clear from the Biden site.

The issue is the system is broken entirely, and both sides plan to move the deck chairs around -- one six inches to the left, and one six inches to the right. This was equally true of DACA. Leaving people in a perpetual state of deferred action parole via executive order is not a solution to anything.
Right, but if an engine is going to fail... it’s going to fail. Whether it’s over land or over sea, it’s going to fail. I haven’t heard of anything saying jet engines are more likely to fail over the open ocean. So that plane would be diverted anyway, even if the failure happened over land. The only difference in risk is how far the plane has to go to find a runway they can land on, which still can be a problem over land because it’s hard to safely set a 747 down in the middle of the Congo or the Amazon or Siberia or northern Canada, etc. And even the biggest 787 can land on a shorter runway than even the smallest 747.

Again I’m not a pilot but it seems like diverted planes isn’t the problem, the problem is finding a safe place to set the plane down if a failure does happen. Yes the ocean makes that difficult, but so does a lot of land.

The difference in scale between your apartment and most schools is no trivial matter.

At my high school, our one building, with tall ceilings, large cafeteria and so forth, housed around 1300 people every day. Some are smaller, some much bigger.

Moving all of that air at least once a day would require powerful exchangers indeed. If nothing else, it would probably be cheaper and better for students to have plants everywhere. One of my teachers' classrooms was like a tiny jungle. I can't say that it made a significant difference, but it was pleasant at least.
> Isn't this exactly what a GPU firmware is expected to do?

The source data needs to appear on the GPU somehow. Similarly, the results computed on GPU are often needed for CPU-running code.

GPUs don’t run an OS and are limited. They can’t possibly access file system, and many useful algorithms (like PNG image codec) is a poor fit for them. Technically I think they can access source data directly from system memory, but doing that is inefficient in practice, because GPUs have a special piece of hardware (called copy command queue in d3d12, or transfer queue in Vulcan) to move large blocks of data over PCIe.

That library implements an easier way to integrate CPU and GPU pieces of the program.
While you're correct that historically, violence is very often required to redress these atrocities, and you're very correct that this is an uncomfortable fact that we like to ignore, the time for violence is when there is absolutely, positively, no other option. And we're not there yet. Very far from it, and there is still hope that it won't be needed.

When a hundred million people will be on the street, and fire is opened on protesters, then is the time. Starting violence as a popular movement for human rights is not a good option.
I've posted about this many times here and so have a lot of other people: If you're suffering from any chronic aches or pains especially back pain or RSI it may be TMS (though only a doctor can tell you that but you need to be informed).

The internet and medical community is full of misinformed people who will fill your head about how a pinched nerve or a slipped disc can cause you immense pain and some doctor may even put you under the knife. But at least read about TMS before you do something drastic.

See tmswiki.org (not my site) for hundreds and thousands of people who have recovered from decades of back pain after spending hundreds and thousands of dollars but never realized it could be simple TMS which doesn't cost a dime to fix.

I'm amongst one of these people and after nearly suffering for many many years did someone on hacker news posted about it and that comment changed my life literally. Pain is all I could think about back then and it interfered with my work, relationships, life. Just reading Sarnos book got me halfway there. Then daily exercises and watching hundreds of testimonials on YouTube made by common people helped me more.

Just the one rule to make your question as easy to answer as possible. Best with minimal example reproducing your problem if it's that concrete.
Good idea. The lazy loading has been particularly bad in the code-base I worked on recently, to the point that pieces of code thought to be entirely isolated from the database were actually accessing the entirety of it.

Callbacks to me are just an indicator of what is missing, an object that encapsulates the "user case". There is a need to do "other things once the data is written", but that is specific to the location where the writing is happening. Modifying a post content from an administrator's perspective could trigger an email to inform the user "your post has been moderated", but the user modifying it's own post shouldn't. Yes you can have callbacks with IFs, but the use-cases will keep piling up.
Now you have a rake task that fixes some posts' content due to a bug in the whatever part of the code parsed the text. It shouldnt' trigger the email, but you do have a callback in there.
This is true, though in many cases it's like 80-90% lead by following (w/ great people). 10-20% have a deft touch and show/create vision out of the team's raw material of ideas and inspiration
