Yeah I evaluated a few team password managers for a friend's small business and Bitwarden was the clear winner (1Password was second, but fell due to the requirement for a long random master key).

Not learning Rust or C (what it's replacing in this context) will probably not seriously dent your career prospects unless your career is already in systems programming.

Learning a language people do systems programming in can be a good experience but it doesn't need to be Rust for you to get that experience.

If you want to learn Rust because you want to, that's fair too.
It's just ass-covering legal boilerplate the same as how some software says that you can't use it in a nuclear power facility.
> But this interpreter does almost nothing. It draws mazes and prints text, and it only works in 80-char terminals.

That is part of the point, though: An interpreter does not need to be complex. Adding "instructions" that does more complicated things does not need to complicate the interpreter much.

Nor does the implementation language make much difference here - fundamentally the interpreter is only the part up to the definition of SubProg. Everything else is just implementation of specific instructions.

Don't get hung up on the use of assembler here - unless you need blazing speed from the interpreter itself, it's trivial to do in pretty much any language.

Conceptually, the interpreter is basically just a table of instructions, a bytecode buffer, and a loop that keeps fetching the next instruction, looks it up in the table, and calls it. The "SubProg" instruction could reasonable be considered part of the generic aspect of the interpreter, but the rest are the domain specific bits, no different

You can abstract out the instructions easily enough. E.g. here's a trivially dumb interpreter written in Ruby where the instructions are separate from the interpreter, that works conceptually not much differently to the linked assembler:

class Interpreter
attr_accessor :pc

def initialize program, instructions
@program = program
@instructions = instructions
@pc = 0
end

def getnext
n = @program[@pc]
@pc+=1
return n
end

def run
while i = getnext
@instructions[i].call(self)
end
end
end

# We could make this an array and insist on numeric instructions,
# but that's an implementation detail - the interpreter doesn't even need to know
# if you pass it a hash or an array.

instructions = {
:myarg => ->(interp) { puts "My argument is #{interp.getnext}" },
:helloworld => ->(interp) { puts "Hello World" }
}

program = [:myarg, 42, :helloworld, :myarg, 3]

Interpreter.new(program, instructions).run

Because the program counter is settable, "SubProg" can just as easily be implemented externally to the interpreter, btw.. Adding variables would really just be a matter of exposing another array or hash in the interpreter so that you could add instructions to read/write them.
I think it's because it's much harder to shop for groceries in the US. I mean: in Europe you have a small grocery store around the corner, in the US, with single-use zoning, your closest grocery store is probably 3 miles away. So, in Europe you shop more often, in small quantities, in the US you stock your fridge with 2-3 weeks worth of food, just to avoid the hassle.

> The UK Daily Telegraph had an article about how nearby Jacobabad crossed the 35C wet bulb reading threshold, at which point — according to the article — the body can no longer cool itself.

Not quite. At 35C, the body can no longer maintain a normal body temperature, and simply standing outside in the shade will cause everyone to run a fever. However, a degree of fever is not dangerous in otherwise healthy individuals. So at 35C people can cool themselves, but only at an elevated temperature.

However, add a degree above that, and all the elderly and infirm will die. Add two degrees, and even healthy people start dropping like flies.
There is not a single comment saying the Linux kernel should be rewritten in Rust...
There already is such a standard! https://microformats.org/wiki/hatom

Happy to take a merge request that adds the option to set `extends = "sfeed"` or `extends = "hatom"` and then automatically sets the correct selectors though.

(That said, if a publisher goes through the trouble of adhering to those selectors, they might as well publish a feed while they're at it :)

It seems to be more or less uniquely an American issue? As far as I know, no-one is going around demanding that people from Yorkshire or Kerry or other places with significant language variation speak standard English.

What does this mean, for English? For instance, you say "I guess"; that's a neologism, and would probably upset really extreme prescriptivists. Where should the line be drawn?

Just look at the article. They define "SubProg%" precisely to have more abstraction power. At some point someone will want to have loops, conditions, recursion, ... where does it end?

Because of that, it's much nicer to use the power of the host language directly, so you don't have re-invent all these things everytime - but with free monads you keep the property of having a well defined, business specific list of actions or instructions that can be interpreted in different ways.
> such inspiration is misguided.

Are you saying that the movie "Drive-In" inspired people to fly planes into skyscrapers? Are you also saying that people shouldn't create terrible acts in fiction because they might inspire people to perform them in real-life?
I also believe that this is a little bit hype driven but not quite. I've been talking with a Linux dev at a conference in Cluj and he said that people nowadays are not interested in Linux development as he was in high-school because there's so much more out there and way easier to enter (web, mobile, game dev etc.). A new language like Rust can reinvigorate the Linux ecosystem + the benefits of safety and other language features. Zig could have been an alternative but unfortunately it's still under development and quite far from a 1.0. But, in my opinion, once you fragment the ecosystem with Rust, adding a third language like Zig should not be a problem. So, yeah, the train still hasn't left the station.

>> Math used to be taught with more drill style.

There are many ways to suck. We tend to think in folksy wisdom: simples rules, simplifications, generalities. Practice makes perfect. 10k hrs. Problem solving. Etc. Often, we bounce back and forward between one such slogan and another.

Folksy wisdom requires folk to be wise. You can't just distil it into a statement and run with that. A great instructor might be extremely focused on drill X or exercise Y. In reality, X or Y outside the greater context is not the same.

The 10k hrs "rule" is a good example. I reckon I'm closing in on 5k hrs of chess. I'm not very good. I could have probably improved more than I would be with just 500 hrs training on a team, with an instructor, game analysis, tactic training, competition, etc. 5k hrs of bullet while on the toilet is not that.

Now... I'm not saying that the book does claim that playing 10k hrs of ultra-casual chess while on the toilet leads to mastery. You need more context. Drill & Scrimmage, in this article's terms. "Deliberate practice" in Anders Ericsson's. Competition in other's terms.

No matter what though, I think that the actual formula is not expressible. There will be a way of sucking while still ostensibly following the formula. You need the subjective human element. A person, training themselves or others who is focused on the goal of improvement, with the methods used as tools.

A lot of canonical examples like sports, art or whatnot us an "art & science" adjacent terminology.

TLDR, you'll also find plenty of example of rampant suckage and plateaus using drill oriented methods of teaching.

These reasons are closer to the root causes that need attention.

Those studies are pretty old (97-04). Here's a more recent one done in 2013 by the CDC (link to report in article, but costs money). It seems to refute some of the claims in those articles. Also, it would seem that Harvard has some bias (as everyone does) given they choose to hold on to these older studies and they are all one sided. Some of them seem pretty poorly formed from a basic conceptual standpoint (ie that a defensive gun use requires that one shoots the assailant which is inconsistent with the definition that they are trying to verify, or that using a sample size of 300 claim that women never use a gun to defend against sexual assualt even though there are news reports showing it does occur).

> In fact, it's one of the most effective way to learn vocabulary (Nation, 2001). I find it very sad that bad methods like Remembering the Kanji are hugely popular when they are in fact a waste of time. The amount of bad content on the internet is staggering. I think the biggest issue is that most people lost the willingness to put efforts in learning, and want everything immediately.

Are you talking about this book? https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/learning-vocabulary-in-...

I haven't read the whole book, but quick skimming got me to this part:

> The highest vocabulary test scores were from the small number of learners reporting mnemonic techniques. The most commonly used strategies were effective but not as effective as the lesser used visualisation, mnemonic, oral rote rehearsal and retrieval strategies. Clearly, strategy training in memory-enhancing techniques could have useful effects.

I can't imagine learning Chinese characters without any form of mnemonics.
In California's vehicle code, there's a rule requiring drivers to keep a reasonable speed based on conditions:

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySectio...

> No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property.

Maintaining the speed limit as another car gives 4 seconds of signaling and spends at least a full second in your lane is arguably not "reasonable".

Where you live, if someone makes a reasonable signal to move into my lane, and I decide to not brake and rear-end them — you're saying that would be an automatic payout in my favor?

Actually, Docbook started as an SGML vocabulary and only in version 5 became XML-first. And SGML, as it relates to this thread, is a parser generator you can use to perform markdown-to-HTML conversion (including full HTML inlining), or AsciiDoc/rST or your own custom extension syntax to whatever XMLish angle-bracket markup you wish. So apologies, but considering we have SGML since 1986 or earlier, discussing surface syntax (markdown vs AsciiDoc vs rST vs orgmode or whatever) seems kindof moot and merely a matter of personal preference really.
The environment is also hostile to humans so they will need to build a dedicated tow robot that gets stuck robots out of the system.
