> To me it would be conceptually simpler to consider one named variable as analogous to a memory location.

But that's how it already is! The variable x is conceptually a single memory location within the stack frame. The match statement doesn't own the variable x, it owns its previous contents. It has effectively removed whatever was in x and whatever remains in x's memory location is no longer accessible, but the variable is still there.

Just storing a changelog would be very useful. I could for example compare db version some app was developed for with current state.
Most companies will store schema migrations in git, but doing anything with this information is difficult. Having this in db would make automated checks easier.
I could if I weren't also prone to overfilling the mug so carrying it around needlessly was a bad idea :)
Fork the repo and keep an eye on the original repo commits/issues.
I found it interesting how Star Trek (at least TNG) avoids the ethical dilemmas via vague technological handwaving. Because, right, if you beam down a bunch of redshirts and they die, can't you just have the transporter remember their patterns and resurrect them? Of course they'd have no memories of the away mission that killed them, but that seems like a small price to pay to avoid death.

But instead we have "pattern buffers" that "degrade" quickly, and presumably keeping around copies of the full quantum states of many humans would require too much storage.

Isn there a business opportunity here?

There are services which handle international tax calculations for software billing. They are up to date about every tax rules in every country.

Wouldn’t it be possible to have an universal embeddable name input widget based on the same principle?
I've worked on (and actively promoted) products in this space but nowadays I'm rather disillusioned with the dream of effortless sync. It works pretty well in dev. But once you have to deal with aggregations and security it all falls apart. You end up having to reinvent a regular backend in a very convoluted way on top of a second-rate db. It's like all the problems with ORM but on steroids.
Certificates still have the problem of who your trusted root is, and don't (by themselves) solve provenance issues - if two people have certificates for the same bicycle then there's no way to choose between them, whereas an NFT inherently has an auditable chain of custody going all the way back to the original issuer (presumably the bike manufacturer in this case) and digitally signed at each stage.

I'd love it if these industries/communities adopted log-structured distributed datastores with digital signing to track provenance of things without wasteful "mining". But the fact is that they've shown no willingness to do so, and it's a lot harder to bootstrap a system like this - if your system relies on a trusted root then you need the trust before you can start to develop the system at all, but users have no reason to trust the system until it's all fully running and proven.
AFAIK Go has a GC you can't avoid, so it's not very suitable for embedded or realtime.

>>Which allows banks to remain an uncompetitive yet inherently necessary market.

I'm really curious what you mean here. Banks(here in UK) are stupidly competitve, there's constant offers and incentives to switch, I cannot imagine anyone in this country thinking "oh I would switch but they can't close my account so I won't".

>>It's should be obvious that no company should be able to do this under any circumstances

Are you familiar with a small company known as PayPal? Where they can lock your account for 6 months without providing any reason whatsoever and you don't have access to your funds? You can't dismiss a real issue by just saying "it should be obvious". Sure, it's obvious but the only way we stop this from happening is through regulation.

> - Is there a point at which replacing your organs replaces You? This is called the Ship of Theseus and is a pretty deep problem.

Not really. Your molecules turn over in a matter of days to years anyway (depending on the tissue and compounds in question).

All that remains is information encoded in larger structures that are retained across that turnover. And the largest part of that is in the brain.

> - Why is our perceptible self the only thing that should determine our sense of identity? Aren’t there many aspects of our body and mind that aren’t we aren’t aware of on a conscious level?

By perceptible I meant observable in one way or another, even parameters that are only subconsciously noticeable such as hormonal balance, gut flora signalling, DNA methylation, immune memory or whatever is important to the stateful system of the body. These considerations add complexity if you want a high-fidelity replacement but they're still far fewer variables than the state maintained in your brain.

> - Is the ability to be conscious or communicate via language the sole determiner of a thing’s existence? If I put my head on your body, what is this new thing? Just me? My head on your body? Even if your cells and body continue to exist, with anything like tattoos or personal elements. Etc.

I would say it's mostly you, a little me. Consider it as an exercise in tallying the number of non-redundant bits persistently stored in something. Its kolmogorov complexity. The body carries a smaller fraction of that.

Few things - I think the whole AR world could end up pretty sad. Imagine I go to a friend's house and all the art on his walls is mine? Like a world I've chosen where I'm not exposed to anyone else's tastes and choices?

That aside - isn't this all still likely to rely on something central? I mean it sounds like you're talking about something pretty close to Ready Player One (which was owned by a central corporation)? Any AR world (in order to be successful) is going to need a whack of capital (Google, FB, Apple) and then vested interest in making it successful/profiting from it - at which point why do you need a Blockchain to own items? If you were the corporation running it, wouldn't you just implement your own "in space" ownership? Not saying it's better or worse - just isn't that more likely?
"No one had ever dreamed that from the sands of such a remote and arid region, considered by many to be an unlikely spot for the development of a complex civilization, that a refined culture could emerge. Since excavations began nearly two decades ago, numerous discoveries—once thoroughly analyzed—will make it possible to place Jiroft it in its proper historical perspective. Since 1869, when the remnants of Sumerian culture were uncovered, Mesopotamia has been considered the cradle of civilization. But the remarkable findings at Jiroft demand a reassessment of that interpretation."

The unfortunate thing in Japan, where I (as well as the author, I believe) reside, is that the government decided to cop out on documentation for foreign residents. Every foreign resident is required to carry an official residence card, which is printed with your name exactly as it appears on your passport. You may think "aren't names in passports written with Latin characters?", and you may also be thinking "isn't the official language of Japan written with non-Latin characters?" Yes, to both.

So basically foreign residents don't have an official Japanese transliteration of their name by default. This is a problem because almost all systems in Japan are made with Japanese people in mind. If you have a middle name then you're basically guaranteed to run into an issue at some point where an application requires your name to match your ID exactly, but the internal system only accepts an input of up to (for example) 16 characters.
How does one get started with addressing those problems? Do I talk to a general practitioner? Are there specialists I should seek out?

In Oxford city centre, and probably elsewhere, they replaced the live signage at bus stops. These tell you when the next bus is due, the time and date, etc.

They used to be amber LED matrixes. High contrast, high legibility, low resolution.

Now they are colour LCD panels. High resolution, high tech, probably high cost. Now they can show the logos of the bus operators, smooth scrolling text and any arbitrary images. None of which anyone really needs except perhaps the egos of the bus companies.

And they are completely illegible. The viewing angle is limited, the text is smaller, unnecessary stuff is there because the implementors can.

Careful what you ask for.
You consider genetical sameness, what about the epigenetic traits, aquired traits like sickness etc? It will be erased in a new organ, and it will make the brain function and percieve differently, which you may or may not be able to attribute to this particular transplantation, of course. But scientifically, we don't treat brain as some solid finite substance that exists (born? created?) in a fixed state forever, and thus can be moved here and there and stay same in it's uniqueness. Brain/mind main property is that it's dynamic, and this dynamism is brought through by the rest of the body, and the environment it lives in and senses and adapts to.
There is already a Light Mode version of IntelliJ designed to compete with Sublime Text and maybe VS Code. It's not entirely obvious that it exists and they need to market it way better, but if you run "idea whatever.txt" from the CLI and the IDE isn't already open, you'll open in light mode. It starts nearly instantly because it's not loading all the plugins and project infrastructure.
A relative had a job brewing tea with this method. I think the purpose was quality control and consistency checks for a supermarket.

Republicans don’t even try and compete in major cities anymore. In fact they use them as a foil to convince their suburban and rural constituency from voting for the party that has “New York values”, etc. they literally just insult that part of the country so how could they win?

And why would a Republican do better is a question I’d ask? Their track record across the vast swaths of America they control are full of drug addicts, high rates of welfare, and crumbling towns. It really is the white ghetto. Outside the affluent suburbs the country is more or less not doing any better than the major cities.

Regardless, the Republican argument would need to change to “effective government” from their typical “no government” stance. People do want self sufficiency and they do want to be treated as individuals and not reduced to group identity. But there are certain things republicans would have to change to break through.
That's up to you - my point was that you can choose whatever you like for the name you want to be greeted informally with.
Which of those is more beneficial indeed remains to be seen and might end up being purely a matter of personal taste; the very thing you call a downside I see as an upside. I think that talking about the positives "consistency and cohesion" where composing primitives works as a positive is merely a matter of habit. Zig treats some aspects that other languages sees as primitives as if they were any other part of the language, where code and libraries rule rather than a growing collection of primitives. I do agree that in principle a language could be too unstructured for some domains (Lisp?) but interestingly, Zig didn't go as far as syntax macros, whereas Rust did. Anyway, Zig finds a surprising middle-ground that is, as yet, hard to definitively judge, whereas Rust, for better or worse, is more of the same.
You should test drive one. I felt the same way as you, initially. I hate fiddling around with menus for things that should be tactile controls. What people don't realize, until they actually try one out, is that Teslas do have physical controls for everything you need. Everything on the touch screen is set-and-forget. If you're fiddling with the touch screen while you're driving, you're doing it wrong.
white man bad
That's true. I'm living on the other side of the pond and we had the same problem 30 years ago(and probably earlier), just different topic (communists against "corrupted" west). After that there was some time where public figures and media at least tried to look civil and well behaved. Now it seems we're going back to full-on us/them mentality.

Honestly doesn't make it any better. Maybe even worse because of how fast lesson was forgotten.
This is my first time reading Zig code and I actually understood most of it. The Rust version just vaguely flew over my head.

I'm getting quite tired of all this grandstanding by tech companies that routinely perform highly immoral business practices.

Google does not give a fuck about black people. They only care about their public image, which is degrading day by day. The idea that Google can fix "racial diversity in tech" is absurd at best. These are deeply rooted systemic issues that need to be addressed from the ground up. No amount of proselytizing about how much a company focuses on racial diversity and hiring different backgrounds is going to have any impact on that.

But I'm sure now that people are capitalizing "Black" that things will change :)
Here's another example of the coolness of Zig's comptime code execution:

https://github.com/ziglang/zig/commit/0808d98e10c5fea27cebf9...

That's a generic container class (similar to vector in C++ or List in C#). But! With a twist!

It stores structs in "column major" order in memory (e.g., if a struct had two fields A and B, then in-memory layout would be A...AB...B), and you can idiomatically and efficiently get a a slice of the values of each column.

I.e., it's a datastructure that automatically applies the struct-of-arrays optimization:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AoS_and_SoA#Structure_of_Arr...

And the code to do it is straightforward, normal Zig.

Pretty awesome stuff!
Okay now that we got the intellectual argument out of the way.

Let's talk about the actual experience of gamblers: You're not playing against the house. You're playing against the other gamblers. This is highly prominent in Poker where you try to beat other players.

Some gamblers told me about their weird theories about which machine will give them the fattest payouts because they analyzed which machines have been used the most and how to minimize the opportunity cost of their current wager by taking advantage of free services provided by the casino. They clearly aren't in it to stick it to the house. They are trying to outcompete other gamblers with their strategies even with a slot machine.

Fine grinding because the brewing time is short and fast pouring without initial “bloom” (just learned the term).

I am ok with this level of inconsistency. I believe that I don’t have the trained palate to even notice it.
When I mentioned inconsistency earlier it is because I did not know anything about coffee so I would arbitrarily use dark, medium, light roasts, different quantities even. Btw, I will try to be more exact using this 1 to 12 proportion he mentioned in the video.

About trying coarser grinding, I don’t grind it myself, I buy ground coffee. I could to find a place that grinds at the counter, but there is no such shop close by. I also optimize my coffee for laziness :)

Everything is life uses energy. We can only minimise the harmful effects of energy production, not (yet?) eliminate it. I first and foremost want global warming to slow/stop and imho for that we need a global restriction and/or ban on harmful ways of energy production. I can't see any other way. Everything else is either a distraction or ideologically driven, eg. "crypto wastes energy" really means "I think crypto is useless hence is deserves no energy". Once everything is forced to run on renewable energy sources then we will be in a much better position regardless of crypto.

NB: IDEA performance is improved drastically by giving it more memory. Basically every time someone complains about perf issues with IDEA it's because their heap limit is too low. It can be configured via the help menu.

One of the unfortunate (or fortunate?) design decisions in IDEA is that there's an explicit and user configurable tradeoff between performance and memory usage, but the defaults are far too low. And if it's too low only the most very recent versions can detect this and tell you what to do about it.

"It simply is not based on dynamics of out-of-equilibrium systems"

I think that's basically the key point. Ergodicity economics and the real world are both based on dynamic out of equilibrium systems. Where regular economics is not.

Real people behave according to ergodicity economics according to Ole Peters study and also the data set used in Prospect's theory.
Another option would be to define a type alias:

#[cfg(feature = "splitapple")]
type Port = nrf52840_hal::pac::P1;

#[cfg(feature = "keytron")]
type Port = nrf52833_hal::pac::P0;

fn read_keys(port: Port) -> Packet {}

but I think the whole problem here is that author tried to do what would have been #ifdef in C, but that doesn't get you far in Rust when macros are AST-based and types are more specific than `int` and `char*`.

A more "rustic" solution would be to use a trait, e.g.

trait ReadKeys {
type Port;
fn read_keys(Self::Port) -> Packet {}
}

impl ReadKeys for Splitapple {…}
impl ReadKeys for Keytron {…}
