I've just bought an old PowerBook G4 precisely so that it could boot Mac OS 9 and I could install some old programs to play with. As I switched it on to see if it's OK, I was impressed by how quickly it started up its current Mac OS 10.4.

I still think classic Mac OS was a truly gem of UI and UX and things just went downhill from there :)

Maybe you'e a communist by ideological persuasion, in which case nothing I say will sway you, but insofar as China is concerned, the country entered extraordinary levels of general development and increases in human development (well-being) explicitly after it left behind Maoist communism from the 1980's onwards. Prior to that, Mao's policies of classic communist rigidity were a demographic, social, economic and human disaster.

As for India, it has many of its own bureaucratic problems without having to be a communist state, true, but to claim that this in any way legitimizes communist social management is absurd. If my family gets sick and some of them die of neglect in my house, it doesn't make my neighbor who outright starved and murdered most of his family any less reprehensible. In any case, India too saw large increases in human development as it left behind pseudo-socialist policies and embraced a more market-friendly form of governance during the same time-frame as China..
That’s the purpose: Make it increasingly hard for competitors to stay in the competition and to ensure Google stays in this dominant position. You also can’t use your Chromecast with Firefox. Another way to keep people locked in.

Same strategy Microsoft used many years ago e.g. with Office, adding more and more features in such a pace that it becomes very hard for anyone to create a competitor with the same functionality. They are still capitalizing on that.

I use Firefox for everything, works well for my purposes.

Tail-call elimination / optimization is not a Scheme language-specific feature though.

Other popular languages have TCO to varying degrees, like C and C++ when using fairly standard compilers like MSVC, GCC, Clang, or ICC [1]. Destructors do get in the way though sometimes.

Java/JVM doesn't support TCO, but Kotlin and Clojure make do with special syntax to support tail-recursion (i.e. tailrec, recur).

Apparently JavaScriptCore supports TCO for JavaScript [2].

The book makes it sound like TCE is language-specific, but since that book was published, it's spread to many other mainstream languages too.

How do you find Rust to be so much more productive than C++?

I find C++ more productive. In C++ I mainly fight with template error messages. In Rust, I fight with typechecked generics, inserting & and '_ here or there, adding and deleting imports, refactoring to add Some and Ok - tons of nonsense housekeeping. These features have value but are quite a slog when writing code.

Theoretically, could someone weaponize prions? Perhaps there'd be no point if the same tactics would be more effective with a typical deadly pathogen (ebola or something), but in theory could a malicious actor take human/animal brains confirmed to have a prion disease and then mash up and aerosolize the brain matter? Or would it not be possible to get infected through inhalation?
But the whole business model of the mall is not viable without the parking lot, so I think it makes sense to include the parking lot in the analysis.
95% of people who think they want Rust should just be using OCaml or similar, IMO.

That said, Rust should mostly be as easy to write and debug as C# - if it's not, that's a problem to be fixed. And interop between two languages causes more subtle issues that you don't notice - your architecture ends up distorted, refactoring across the interop boundaries is painful. I used to work on mixed C++/Python projects and thought I was getting the best of both worlds - it was only when I didn't have to do that that I noticed how much it had actually slowed me down.

And of course any nontrivial piece of real-world C++ code is undefined behaviour. So having a memory-safe replacement for that part is a huge improvement.

Does your company care about you?

That sounds like a bad architecture and a bloated app. It's like if VSCode decided "we don't do plugins, everyone commit your idea directly into our main repo"

A sensible plugin architecture would let you do either

curl --plugin=LDAP

or a naming convention would load the appropriate plugin based on the protocol.

Yes I know, armchair code design. And I also know it's nice not to have to deal with configuration, a large app "just works" (though FYI, it does have 15-20 dependencies which are similar to plugins, it has 3 direct and more indirect dependencies). But, 2hrs a day * 23years = 16790hrs!!!!! Something seems wrong for that much time to be spent on "curl"

Just to be clear, first, thanks so much for curl! And second, of course having not touched the code ever I have no idea why it required 16k hours of dev time and continues to require more, it could totally be justified.

I'm only saying that at a glance, 2hrs a day, 23years sounds surprising and it makes me wonder if there isn't some ways to reduce the load.

Thank you! Well, the rest of the story is pretty vanilla. When I got to the US, my best friend managed to get me an unpaid internship that later converted to a full-time job. The first year or so was tough, but I had good friends and good mentors who helped me move up the corporate ladder. I'm currently working on my own startup like most people here.
> There are so many other ways of stabilizing retirement systems. If by "Social Security" you specifically mean the US system, there is this interesting fact: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Security_(United_States... "If workers and employers each paid 7.6% (up from today's 6.2%), it would eliminate the financing gap altogether." (Also, the payroll ceiling is ridiculously low, and why does it even exist anyway?)

But the ultimate problem isn't lack of money, it's lack of labor. If you have a shrinking labor pool, increasing prices will neutralize any extra money you tuck away. Labor productivity increases may compensate for this to a degree, but that won't happen evenly, and perhaps not happen in some areas retirees particularly need.

I'm reminded of this:

https://acoup.blog/2020/07/24/collections-bread-how-did-they...:

> Money also has one problem that grain does not, which is bound up in the way prices work in agricultural societies. The risks the farming family most wants to insulate themselves against, whether caused by war or harvest failure, are risks that involve a contracting food supply. The thing is, as the food supply contracts, the price of food rises and the ability to buy it with money shrinks (often accelerated by food hoarding by the wealthy cities, which are often in a position to back that up with force as the administrative centers of states). Consequently, for the family, money is likely to become useless the moment it is needed most.
What would be your advice to someone who's going through that frustration? I would love to get in touch to talk more about this. Thanks.
> The issue is mechanical devices can be engineered until the reliability level needed is achieved.

And if wishes were horses...

No, you can not simply state some arbitrary level of reliability and design to that level. At any given level of reliability more parts = less reliability and more time or resources spent on design are not by going to remediate that unless you are willing to accept much higher costs.

Engineering is a trade-off and physics determine the sweet spot for the balance of that trade off. Once that sweet spot has been determined all other things being equal more parts will cause your reliability to go down unless you will also accept that your costs will go up and/or other parameters will be affected in a negative way.

Software people in general have a very hard time to understand this because to them 'parts' are free, but even in software, assuming zero costs for parts (adding a library, a function, a line of code) has an effect on reliability. That's why computers used to be much more reliable than they are today, and that's before we get into details such as cognitive load while trying to understand complex systems.

>A similar situation is that in the U.S.A., blue has become the color of left wing politics, and red for right wing politics, a fairly recent symbolism dating back less than two decades, whereas for centuries in the entire world it has been opposite.

Well, « blue » as a political signifier very much started on the left, being associated to American and French Republicans (in the true sense of the word, not the GOP). The right wing being « white », ie. monarchist. Coincidentally that meaning also found posterity in the Russian Revolution as the colour of the Tsarist regime also happened to be white (possibly in imitation of the French, but religious reasons also play into it).

As far as I'm aware, the US under a « swap » of sorts as the Northern and Southern wings of the Democratic and Republican parties broke up and reorganized.
So here's an example that I'm not sure how it would work with nurseries. Let's say I'm writing some sort of logging functionality for a larger codebase. The API in my library is `log(message)` where message is some random message object. It just appends the message to a file, but if the file size has gotten large enough then it does some slow work, maybe it batches things up and sends them off somewhere or it rotates the log files or whatever.

So in normal Go, I can make this log function do some slow IO, call `go log(message)`, and I'm set. Or I can make the goroutine created inside the log function when it's needed, either way.

With nurseries, where do I create a nursery? I don't want the code that calls log to have to wait for the logging to complete. So the caller shouldn't own a nursery and pass it to the logging library. The logging library can't create a nursery when it needs to do the occasional slow operation because the caller will have to wait for that too, if I understand correctly.

So, do I need to just use some other abstraction entirely, or how would I implement this with nurseries? This almost reminds me of using Java threadpools... you can more or less do anything you want to do with them, you just need to create lots of queues and consumer objects and it takes several abstractions to implement what could just be a single abstraction.

Those "tons of nonsense housekeeping" help me detect and avoid bugs. Memory unsafety is not the only category of incorrect code – a bug is a bug, even if it doesn't enable an attacker to gain access to your system.

Some of the kinds of bugs that are much easier to accidentally write in C++ than in Rust are: use-after-free, use-after-move, out-of-bounds array accesses, data races and other synchronization errors. I want my code to be correct, even if it runs in a sandbox.

Slow migration that just happened over time. I took an architect role that required technical knowledge but about 0% coding. Initially I was disappointed about that but went with it. Eventually I took a pure business role. Along the way I got better with people, still a bit of an introvert but able to fake my way through to an executive role.

Every once in a while I’ll try to code something. I’m able to get by if I want. I get bored with it quick though and it doesn’t bring me the same kind of flow buzz mental stimulation it used to.

> If they wanted to fact check whether "Biden said he didn't care about young people in a disparaging way", that would be fine, but it also is just a moral judgement.

But the literal claim "did he utter these words" is practically meaningless. By that standard, if you once said "I don't understand people who think the movie Battlefield Earth is great, it's a waste of time." I could say "tjs8rj said 'the movie Battlefield Earth is great,'" or "tjs8rj said 'I don't understand people,'" and you'd have to fact check that as a "yes," even though I inverted your meaning. What people really care about is what's was meant.
