Such history must be erased.

A shame, and indignity must be forgotten lest you want somebody to say that it wasn't, and pick it as its banner.

The world was very judicious in being uncompromising in stomping out every bit, and part of third reich, and Tojo's militarism.

That's why you don't have a world war 3, and next populists in line coming shouting "make Germany great again"

Unfortunately, the world has not finished this business completely, and now we have no shortage of historical revisionists wanting to take a revanche on the Post-War-World, promising "great old times" again.

The energy you get from burning gasoline is about as much as the energy cost of creating it. It's not a complex organism like an egg.

The only reason it's not done is because already made gasoline is cheaper.
This stack would catch _most_ problems, but not necessarily at compile time. It's unsound, because it's still possible to write data races. And it's possible that two components, each on their own correct, combine to make something that isn't correct.

Rust's borrow checker makes it impossible to write code containing a data race. It does this by only accepting a subset of possible safe programs, but this is (or at least may be) a reasonable trade-off due to the guarantee you get.

It's not that you can't write safe code in C++, but you're always at the mercy of your validation to try to have confidence that you've actually managed to do what you set out to do. While Rust obviously doesn't preclude bugs at all, but it does enforce that you _can't_ write a certain class of previously-prevalent bugs.

I think this blog post from Mozilla does a good job of what that means in practice: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2017/11/14/Fearless-Concurrency-I...
How is 'best' quantified here? =)
This is interesting. The hard-realtime folks are a conservative bunch (understandably so); I wonder how much traction Nim is getting in that space.
To be more specific the term is hoist which means the declarations are pushed to the top of the scope at run time for maximum availability, and var is function scoped instead of block scoped. Block scoping is often more specific because a function body is a block as well.

This is very true for crypto. The amount of people hyped on it without understanding much about it seems crazy high to me.

Granted, I recently graduated college, so I may be bias from experience. I just have seen a giant amount of finance frat bros that pour money into Bitcoin cause “banks are like the horse and buggy”.
Any serious astrological calculation is gonna be based on what time you were born, fwiw.
Your anus is not actually just a hole you can just pour things into. It seals itself. A funnel is of the essence when trying to pour liquids into the rectal cavity.
It just depends on the extent of it and the scale. Piss enough people off enough, and they will want to move. I think we are close personally. It doesn’t take that much for a group of conservative people to move somewhere else if everyone is pissed. They just need another platform.
I don't think we can expect the religious instinct, found in every known human society, to just disappear. Astrology seems to be an alright stand in. It lets people find meaning and exercise all the necessary symbolic pattern matching muscles.

As mentioned in the article, sometimes she was more of a very cheaply priced therapist. Just letting people talk and feel heard. A naturopath friend of mine says something very similar. It's amazing how much better people do when they feel like they have someone to talk to who really cares and will take their time with them. The pills the patients leave with may not do much, but the 90 minutes she spent in intimate conversation with them really appears to.

I think a lot of people who use these services sort of know that this is the case, even if it's not explicit in their mind.

We already know who his wife and grandchildren are, so it doesn't strike me as particularly dangerous to have the ability to see what the article describes as fewer than ten of Biden’s contacts. The man has been in public life for about 50 years, so presumably there has been ample time to collect information on him. Knowing his venmo ID and contacts doesn't necessarily carry much information that would empower a malicious actor. It's an interesting story for sure, but "privacy nightmare" is a stretch.

As long as you use venmo for transactions that are publicly defensible with connections that are publicly known, and you ignore all payment requests, what are the risks of keeping an account as a public figure?
Huh? Are humans made of heavy elements?
I think there were two main reasons: choosing a popular language (JS and python happen to be among the most popular, accessible languages) and pedagogical simplicity (it's nice to avoid burdening beginners with extra syntax when they're already struggling to learn other things). Some unscientific evaluation showed that students picked up static types just fine in our second programming class (which is in C++)

Personally, I think we should be teaching static types and I pushed for Typescript, but it didn't happen.
No, I've avoided the 24hour watches I appreciate their design, but they're just too hard to read in a hurry.

It supposedly allows people to alter reality based on intention, like you want to see "x" and some quantum mumbo-jumbo happens and you're led to a location where "x" will manifest somehow. It's basically just confirmation bias the app.

Like JavaScript, one can argue that the only thing wrong with node is the ecosystem/developer community. Things like npm as just not curated enough given the large number of JavaScript developers and the attendant variability in quality of output. Node itself is an almost perfect call-back driven even loop for Unix network io, which till go and go routines/channels was the conceptually simplest way to use the CPUs you are paying for, saturate the network, and have subtle threading issues. (Python gevent was also good at that, but had more implicit magic which is bad for reasoning about code).

But I am hopeful that when I finish reading the article I will not have to reuse my jquery / d3 based framework for doing quick data viz things (which I only started doing with great reluctance because people don’t go wow over tabular data even if the data is wow-ing. The first request to make it pretty, i switched to mono space fonts. But jquery is showing its age.
If you take a look at the Rust book from five years ago and today, it's actually 40 pages slimmer (540 pages for the first version, 500 for the second) because most of the examples for some more advanced features Just Work without needing those features explicitly, and some other things got simplified. None of that stuff is wrong, and is still useful at times, but is used less often.

The core feel of Rust is very much the same today as it was then. Just things got smoother overall. We'll see in ten more years.

(This is on my mind, as we'll eventually be releasing an updated book for Rust 2021, at some point. Probably early 2022. It will grow in size again, mostly due to adding stuff about async/await, which is a major new addition to the language, but only needed in certain circumstances.)
Well I know plenty of people that are similar to me in that in our early years, we asked for resources and help, and the response that was constantly given was "use what you know," which was bad advice for people who made websites who were looking to program.

It's no wonder Javascript is the only thing used. I actually love React and ES because it's the first time I feel like a real programmer and not someone just writing Javascript. I don't really care about people's opinions about JS, I simply use what works.

If you hated Javascript, maybe the anit-javascript community should have wrote blogs, made videos, and created content in the same way that the Javascript community did.

The Gallery of Electro-Mechanical Amplifiers
The reference counter with "destructors and move semantics..." is not presently the default, though it will be in the future. The OP mentions that.

The current default GC involves a somewhat unusual memory model that can make certain kinds of multi-threaded programming difficult: each thread has its own heap and independent GC; memory subject to GC cannot be read/written across threads and locks can't be used to remedy the situation; if you force the compiler to accept code that violates the "no shared" rule, the ref count of the GC on one thread or another will eventually get corrupted and the program will crash with SIGSEGV.

However, by allocating on and copying to/from the shared heap (which is never subject to garbage collection) you can do message passing across threads.

Are our telomeres long enough to allow for the development of cancer, or is it necessary for the system to be overridden, thus allowing cells to replicate indefinitely?

I think SwiftUI is just as much about platform lock-in by bundling Mac, AppleTV, iPad, and iPhone together as an app fortress. Furthermore it enforces more standard UI/UX which commoditizes apps.

Germany's Digital Vaccination Certificate Is Open Source
I too allowed my brain to be hijacked by my hatred for Trump. I allowed my biases to cause me to essentially outsource my decision-making to my enemy who then by aggressively going for a conclusion in a manner that was too early for concrete evidence, caused me to embrace the alternative explanation which itself frankly defied a lot of logic. I'm very embarrassed about this and it's something I have to confront about my own brains weaknesses.

Why is that?

It's quite a coincidence for a bat born Corona virus that is unusually adept at infecting human lung tissue to emerge in the same exact city as the world's leading batborn Corona virus research center. For this to not be related to anything in that research facility is starting to border on improbable but of course could happen.

However when you combine this with the way the Chinese authorities behaved, and then add into this fact that they still cannot find any form of intermediate animal host no matter how much effort is expended, it really starts to push the natural-born theory to a high degree of improbability.

I owe many of my friends a huge apology over this. It's not fun but I'm calling them one by one to apologize because I feel like it will remind me in the future to check my own cognitive biases before jumping to conclusions.

I lament the fact that the majority of the public that did the same thing as me will never question their own judgment or stop to wonder why they were manipulated so aggressively by a media that was more concerned with confirming the biases of their audience and themselves than seeking out real truth.

Am I wrong to say that modern webapp development practices treat the DB as a dumb source? They might as well just read/write the data from a text file.

I prefer to treat the DB as an API. Interactions take place with via stored procedures.

There are times I feel this all could be done with just a bunch of text files (database tables) and scripts (awk/sed ... maybe even use grep) to read/write from them. CGI-BIN days :)
That is a pretty subtle and nasty sharp edge! I consider myself quite proficient with bash and best practices, and it still took me a moment to think through this to understand how where things went 'wrong' in your example.

* My comment was about the US. See the last line of my comment.

* In the US, the economic gains of having rolled out N95 and equivalent masks when they become widely available would have cost orders-of-magnitude less than the masks. Ending COVID19 sooner would still pay for a program like this today.

* Whether or not the vaccine will stop COVID19 is still TBD. We don't have good numbers on impact on spread, on ultimate vaccination rates, nor on mutations. It seems on-track, but still TBD.

* Yes, similar measures would need to be taken elsewhere to fully eradicate the virus, and that's assuming no animal stores. Doing math there brings up a million apples-to-oranges comparisons.

* Numbers in second post were was based on similar (successful) programs implemented in Taiwan and Korea, which did stop COVID19 (pre-vaccine) and allowed those economies to continue functioning, while ours imploded. Quotas were 2-3 per week, and everyone was required to use (and reuse) them. My second comment was more precise, if anything.
And then said person acquires triple citizenship via naturalisation and marriage, and moves to a fourth country. Does your principle still apply? What happens if those other three countries have similar rules?
I did read the article. "Colonial policies" have nothing to do with how the bean tastes. Nor does the taste of the bean have anything to do with "violence".
I had this idea while trying out harness.io and its lack of support of flux-like GitOps. You can integrate this api with your CD platform for canary deployments (eg: flux-flagger/Argo) and this would look at your log and metrics data and report abnormal behaviour with your applications.

> Too many people only learn JavaScript, become psychologically dependent on it, and they all collectively took it too far outside of a browser.

Do you have any evidence for this? Because there's plenty of reasons why you'd share the same code in the browser and the server. Being able to do SSR and sharing validation logic are two huge and obvious reasons. Ever try to exactly duplicate validation rules between the browser and PHP? What about when they use weird regexp rules?

I have a site builder codebase that renders previews instantly as you make changes, then uses the same code on the server to render the HTML and CSS for visitors. That would be otherwise be outright impossible to do without writing the same code again in another language.
One thing I wonder, though, is how accurate his memory is at this point one way or the other.

Blackbird Announces First Ever Educational Version of JavaScript
Theoretically expensive, but modern hardware is optimized for this case. Random access lookups and cache misses from the linked list will tank performance, even in most cases where a linked list is theoretically equivalent or preferred.
var is a terrible example of that. Just don't use it.

A good example would be the scoping in for loops and maybe arrow functions. For loops are goofy but virtually never an issue, and arrow functions are awesome.

Heh, read the VueJS 3 code base.

I haven't done much at the level of optimization I think is going on there, and this is Evan's third iteration so I'm guessing there is a lot of insights baked into it, but dang if it's not hard to wrap your head around. Even if you check it out and use VSCode to try to figure it out.

Does Nim have comprehensions? Even if you're striving for equivalent signatures the inner body of the function can be expressed as a comprehension in Python:

Well, probably not 32 exactly. They had a 31 bit spec at the time but decided they could simplify to 16 bits. Also UTF-8 is naturally optimized for 31 bits.
Different languages appeal to different people, and there is no doubt some individual programmers will find Rust appealing even for application programming, just as some found C++ appealing for similar purposes. But a CIO of, say, an insurance company who decides that internal applications will be written in Rust would be making a very imprudent financial decision.

Embracing death: End-of-life doulas growing in popularity
Flexible tokenized Second Home co-ownership
Daliado offers co-ownership of second homes with up to 5 other people. All the necessities including, legal, cleaning service, furniture, security are taken care of for a fee. Through tokenization of the property rights, you can change your home every year!

My Story and why I do it:
I always wanted to own a second home in south Europe, but could not afford it. Also I was scared that when I own something, I will be forever bound to it. With Daliado I want to offer an easy and much cheaper way by co-owning a second home. Through the Tokenization of the property rights, you can exchange your property tokens every year for other property tokens. This means you can change your second-home every year for another! - You get the flexibility of rent with the comfort and the advantages of being an owner. I believe this will be the future of tourism.
