> Plus D is adding Rust's ownership and borrowing

Saying that "@live" feature is "adding Rust's ownership and borrowing" is technically accurate, but in reality I'd be surprised if it were used in production in major systems in the next 5 years.

The @live feature has multiple problems:

- The author wants it to be implementable incrementally (eg some code uses @live, some doesn't), but doing so isn't really feasible in safe code. From the moment you disable GC, you either need your entire program to respect some strict memory model (in which case you basically have a new programming language, and no incrementality), or your program won't be any safer than C++. This is not hyperbole: Rust-with-unsafe and D-with-@system is safer than C++, because you only need to audit an annotated subset of your codebase. D-with-@live (or more accurately, D-with-@trusted-@live) is not safer, because a memory error can come from anywhere in your program.

- Speaking of a memory model, D doesn't have one. Rust has Stacked Borrows, which gives library developers a framework to know whether their unsafe code might lead to undefined behavior. D doesn't seem to have nailed down semantics as to how @live might create/affect undefined behavior (which means the semantics will probably be "whatever the DMD/LLVM/GCC backend wants").

- Rust has Non-Lexical-Lifetimes (and soon Polonius). D's documentation is very sparse about how lifetimes in @live will be determined, but I think it's safe to assume that it will be scope-based at first. This means that, eventually, when @live ships, it will be roughly equivalent to Rust as it was in 2015. Not great.

And, finally, saying that Rust will decline because another language will add OB misses what makes Rust great.

The strength of Rust is that things work by default.

A quick search through D's forums will raise dozens of instances of people complaining about edge cases in the language, things that don't work exactly as expected or produce undefined behavior (autodecoding and uninitialized variables come to mind).

Rust has very few problems like that. If your Rust code compiles, it will work. You will never have a bug that happens on a coworker's machine but not on yours, or a crash that happens because you used two niche features that weren't designed to be used together.

If your code crashes, it will be in a predictable, reproducible way, with an error message and a stack trace to tell you what to fix.

Rust isn't perfect, but it's infinitely less fragile over time than D.
All of the early Cray mainframes (even the Cray-1 discussed here, although maybe only the somewhat later Cray-1/S) supported a "Solid State Disk" peripheral, which was basically a refrigerator full of RAM that was accessible via DMA channel. The intent was to be used to swap in and out large data sets from memory - I think even the early ones went up to a gigabyte in size.
To be clear, we're talking about battery-backed RAM (specifically MOS RAM) there, right?
My understanding is that Russian secret services don't even try to hide it, it's probably something they are proud of and to be exposed to the nation to show the great power of zar Putin.
From what I understand (never actually worked with MS, so no hands-on experience) a "proper" MS architecture will also include separate data persistence layers for each service.

I.e. if your service manages persisted data, it will access (and own) a dedicated storage instance which no other service has access to.

Assuming it is really true, folding a microservice back into a monolith should also mean that the data are ported back into the main DB?
The article does not seem to spend much time discussing this, though. So maybe it is one of those ideas that everyone conveniently decides to ignore when they actually start dealing with a real world problem?
While it's fun to criticize science this way, this line of criticism misses an important fact: namely that open scientific inquiry has been one of the most successful enterprises in the history of humanity.

In a period of a few hundred years we've gone from believing that there were a few basic elements and that the sun revolves around the earth, to understanding the deep nature of particle physics and the structure of the Universe. We turned a basic understanding of chemistry into an understanding of subatomic particles, and the ability to create entirely new elements.

We did all of this through a process of open and skeptical inquiry, which has been remarkably consistent in its ability to tear down unsupportable theories. The reason the Kuhnian critique exists is not because the scientific process failed, it's because the process worked but just took longer than people expected it to because people are human and imperfect. And the speed of scientific advances over the past decades has been higher than at any point in human existence.

The reason the term "scientific consensus" exists is because most fields are vastly too complex for a single human being to be able to evaluate the totality of the evidence by themselves, at least in a reliable way. So the process is necessarily decentralized and broken up among many experts, who share their opinions. This isn't some popularity contest that you should ignore, it's a critically necessary task that has to be performed in order to digest the research contributions of any field, and make progress on solving open problems.

You're absolutely right to point out that consensus evaluation can malfunction sometimes. You'd be equally right to point out that sometimes experimenters produce invalid results. You're wrong that the answer to the former is to reflexively ignore the scientific consensus process, just as you'd be wrong to say that "don't do experiments anymore" is the correct response to a few experimental errors.

Ironically the proposed solution is usually to put the government in charge, which is far larger and more violent than any private company.
That would be interesting, as long as you focus on civilian deaths and normalize for population. My guess would be iran due to their heavy involvement in both the iraqi and syrian civil war. The saudis are also contenders with their yemen war. Then I would guess the US, turkey and russia.

We are moving into a multipolar world and interesting times.

Land was cheap in the Santa Clara valley in the past. Huge portions were still orchards and farms that were selling out for new subdivisions. The issue is it's a valley. There's no more open land unless you move impractically far away.

Growth in any area will raise prices but here the issue was compounded by a lack of extra land available after the cheap land was sold.
Seeing as encounters with law enforcement are probably more deadly on average than jaywalking - I wholly support this change. Being poor in a car city is something most folks in the circles I run in now have never experienced or thought about. The documentary “Los Angeles Plays Itself” has a fantastic section about this.
build quality and f-stops isn't close to all that is different.

Actual light transfer (e.g. t-stops in cine, but less quantitatively in SLRs, say - some lenses are brighter than others), sharpness, chromatic aberration, spatial aberration, focal speed and accuracy (assuming autofocus), consistency across the telephoto range (not for primes, obviously) - some lenses will have not just differet f-stops at different lengths, but really different characteristics. This doesn't even get into the subjective aspects (e.g. "bokeh") that some people care a lot about.
> as in any (real) Lisp

While the OP, by "Lisp", means "Common Lisp" - you're aware that following this old meme of "Clojure is not a real Lisp" only causes interpersonal fires and brings no real benefit, I hope?
especially weird since you would use `date-fns` (vs. something like moment) specifically because it allows you to include only the functions that you require (via tree-splitting).
Since g4k already answered, I can only say, isn't it wonderful at the pace things are going. And we are no longer having weekly new framework thing.

I don't necessarily have a problem with it. If concepts work well, there is no reason not to reuse them in new libraries.
Isn’t the real causation here that they’re lower class? I would imagine high-class blacks don’t often get ticketed for jaywalking.

Lower-class people tend to walk more for reasons related to expensive car maintenance. Are blacks more often lower-class? Sure, but that’s a different issue entirely.
> It's because the German language is highly compound. Take any descriptive phrase, remove the spaces, and you have a new word.

Like Sanskrit.
Also, in Sanskrit, many words have multiple meanings, so when you string them together, there is often (somewhat of) a combinatorial explosion of overall meanings.
This isn't about a Cray, but it's roughly contemporaneous. According to https://trs.jpl.nasa.gov/handle/2014/26062, the Cassini space probe had an "SSD," and the contract to build it was awarded in 1992. It sounds like it was pretty much a RAM disk made from DRAM.

I'd imagine it would be practical to build and use something similar for a multi-million dollar supercomputer where cost is secondary to performance.
Women developed these skills because they are hardwired to care for offsprings. Women are better at noticing small details, they have better hearing and have a sharper sense of smell.

Go back to cavemen times, the men had to follow the blurry beast for dinner. The women had to be alert and vigilant to protect their young. We might think we have come far, but evolution is slow. We are basically living with cavemen genes in an urban jungle.

Sometimes generalizations are true. Evolution takes millions of years.
> with no reason or productive purpose.

To learn the productive purpose, try sitting in the corner while everyone else plays.

After a while, you'll find yourself shunned from all kinds of activities, and even maybe bullied and considered an outcast. Do it long enough and it might affect your mental health and lead you down a path of depression or suicide...

Which leads to a possible purpose... It's detecting "bad" community members and expelling them. Nearly all animals that play also sometimes expel or kill some members of their own community.
No, that’s significantly less than the in-network rate.
I think "is this something that often reinforces racial discrepancies" is a useful thing to know when evaluating should it be a crime in the first place. I think it's another point in the "con" column of having harsher treatment for it.

Yes, losing the mirror doesn’t really improve optics, however removing the mirror and related mechanism does allow one to bring the lens closer to the focal plane, which in turn affects the size of the rest of the lens elements. And makes everything smaller and lighter as you allude to.
Throwaway since I was indirectly intimidated in the past due to my "reactionary" views. I grew up in Vietnam and have worked at a public college in Vietnam for a couple of years. My cousin is a senior army officer and my father used to be a police officer. I am following these groups as well as most of the democratic activists such as the Mai Khôi. I would like to clarify that most of members of these groups are just ordinary people who support the Vietnamese government.

They are not the vocal minority. Based on my personal experience, at least half of college students, who I talked to, support the Vietnam's government whole-heartedly. A quarter will always criticize for whatever the government do. The rest don't care. Decades and decades of propaganda work .. pretty well. They have been brainwashing since they started going to school at 6 y/o. Personally, I only began to recognize the lies of VN government in my early 20s. The lack of focus on critical thinking in national curriculum contributes a significant part to this. In addition, while highly corrupted and lacks of transparency, the government of Vietnam also has done many things right, e.g., rejoining the world after cold war, economic development, covid19, cheap public education, and public healthcare to some extends.

The alternative views are no good. Except a handful of good eggs, most of democratic activists occasionally spread fake news, half-truth stories, and conspiracy theories. The majority of them are Trump's supporters and anti-vaxxers. I'm not saying that all Trump's supporters are bad, just stating the fact. They are often discredited by the government's supporters due to this and the current situation in the US.

Last but not least, the government of Vietnam is pretty confident in suppressing free press because China can get away with it without any real pressure from the US and EU. At the end of the day, if there is an alternative to Facebook, the situation will like be the same due to the current political landscape of Vietnam. Twenty years ago, it was Yahoo's blogs. Even if FB withdraws from Vietnam tomorrow, there will be another platform and things will be the same.

I was employed for about 5 years by a small tech firm that did not have a health plan (this was pre-ACA). They did pay a salary that was commensurately higher. I was able to buy an Anthem individual plan (family coverage) and it was reasonable. It was essentially equivalent to any other employer plan I've ever had except notably it did not cover maternity but that was OK as we were not having any more kids at that point.

The absolute best plan I was ever on was an HMO in the 1990s. No out of pocket for anything as long as you were referred by your primary care provider. Our first kid was born via emergency C-section and we never saw a bill for any of it.
Does that mean that screen.so is dead?
I dont know if I'm a 100% correct but this is rendering static parts that are serializable in the server. But instead of as HTML its in a custom format (I'm guessing something very similar to virtual dom representation of a component).
But they are better than static HTML rendering because the components can maintain state even though parts of it are rendered on the server.
I'm very excited for this and I'm just beginning to build a POC for Next.js from tomorrow. May be when this becomes stable we'll be able to use it via Next.js.
Because jaywalking is very frequently used by police to target communities of color. As an example, 90% of the jaywalking citations given in NYC in 2019 were issued to people of color.
Totally agree. I have no personal stake in it but Prop 13 certainly seems to be overly broad for its goal as I understand it of not forcing people out of their homes and neighborhood if they gentrify or otherwise shoot up in value. (Mind you, you can also make points about a long-time neighborhood restaurant that's forced to close because of taxes.)
I think a lot of projects exist specifically on using drones and lasers / dazzlers:

I believe some submarines are also working on submarine drones that can be deployed:

Although I think in the end, there will also be anti-drone drones, kind of like how you have fighter jets and bombers.
I think it's OK, but I think it spoils the far better series.
Just curious, what more complex properties do you like to be supported in Apalache? Many tools that are built on top of z3 are checking inductive invariants. By having a strong enough inductive invariant, you should be able to check safety.

If you like to check your specification for arbitrary parameters, then you will have to use quantifiers in z3, which would require a lot of care to write SMT constraints in a way that helps z3 to deal with the quantifiers. The mix of sets and cardinalities is especially hard for SMT. Although academia is making a lot of progress in this direction, e.g., see [1], the mainstream solvers are still leaving you with the problem of encoding sets and cardinalities all by yourself.

Some provers use quantifiers in z3. For instance, IVy [1] can check inductive invariants of systems that have arbitrary size. However, you have to rewrite your specification in uninterpreted first-order logic, e.g., you would have to think about abstracting away integers. Moreover, to make invariant checking decidable, you would have to transform your specification into a special fragment that is called EPR.

You hit the nail on the head, the set of images that can only be taken with a DSLR/MILC is getting smaller and smaller.

To counter that a bit I'd like to add that there is a rise of video/youtuber folks wanting smooth 4k video with tracking auto-focus, and real bokeh which is making cameras, or hybrid cameras relevant again. I don't think phones do fake bokeh in video mode or do low-light video w/o looking like ass.
Indeed, I work for a company that manufactures high end technology, and we're in a comfortable position where we don't need the production volume of injection molding, and can use soft-tooling processes. It's a lot less nerve wracking. Also, paint hides a lot of sins. ;-)

The thing to be careful about: Don't assume you know what's cheaper: Injection molding or something else. I've had my own assumptions blown away so many times.

But 3d printing is still kind of at the phase that machine learning went through, where every meeting inspires at least one manager to blurt out: "Have you considered using 3d printing for this design?" with the other managers secretly wishing that they had been so clever.
Your sugar example is no good. Sugar doesn’t take people’s freedoms away. It has no agency and doesn’t enforce anything. Like any action, eating sugar may have consequences good or bad for the individual, but that has nothing to do with freedoms unless the government starts telling people they may not eat more than x grams per day or something like that.
Same reason enforcing random pat-downs for illicit substances, or traffic stops for speeding, racist or biased. Because the people enforcing it are biased, and often racist.

That's exactly why it's phrased as reducing encounters with police, because police encounters are disproportionately negative (or hostile) for people of color. Has nothing to do with the actual infraction.

Of course, you'd know this if you'd paid any attention to the news, considering it's currently the third most major political issue US.

As Stacy McGaugh likes to put it in his blog - the question is why MOND (a relatively simple theory with just one free parameter) is able to make successful predictions at all? Predictions like this one, which you have no reason to expect to be true in CDM models?
First off, you don’t really know if jaywalking is proportionally distributed across all races to say people of color are disproportionately targeted. Healthy higher net worth individuals are less likely to jaywalk. Lower income and poorly educated individuals, which often are minorities, are more likely to risk their life through jaywalking daily, and thus raise their chances of being cited.

Those people are wrong, though ;p

In all seriousness, one should look around and try a few. As a linux/Unix shell i like bash - it's posix enough that you can write posix-ish scripts (might have to run on ksh/bsds) - and these days it has good completion and other niceties. And unless you make an effort, it doesn't colorize everything to the point that it looks like your user land threw up on your terminal.

Other worth looking at IMNHO ibnclude rc from plan9, fish and oilsh. And maybe dash for a small runtime for scripts.
Some services don't own any of their own data, so for them the question wouldn't arise. You could split them out without migrating data, and you could fold them in without it as well.

Otherwise, yes, moving a service out of a monolith without moving its data leaves you in a pretty tricky and problematic place, though the reverse is much less true: a single service having multiple data layers for different things isn't really a big operational or organizational problem.
Exciting to see an open source Rust WASM project as reference for us folks who are interested in playing around with it. Thanks for the cool work!

No, it just has more available aperture. It's common to see a consumer telephoto with a max of 5.6, and a similar length pro version with 2.8, for example.

Which makes it bigger and heavier, harder to manufacture, and smaller market - all of this pushes prices up (an order of magnitude is common)
