True unfortunately. My organization is very much an in person organization that has gone remote with some processes that were still mediated by paper forms. The previous advice for getting certain signatures and approvals was to stand outside a particular execs office and haranguing them through persistence. This is no longer an option nor easily replaced through readily ignored channels.

> JIT has been used very successfully for a couple of languages, e.g. Java

I'm not at all disputing that - but its promises of "beating AOT" that we used to hear have not come to fruition. Where it really matters, e.g. HPC, you don't really see any JIT. C, C++ and Fortran still rule. And even for Java, you tend to be able to achieve equal or better performance with AOT compilers.
By "visceral" I mean an innate, feelings-based approach.

Big companies' data collection is on the whole quite subtle, and they like it that way. Google will suck up tons of data, digest it, and use it to throw ads at you. But it doesn't really occur to anybody that Google might be interested in looking for people picking their nose in front of their phone's camera, and making a compilation of that to present as "art". If anything of the sort happened, Google would make sure to make an example of whatever rogue employee did that. They like their data collection to be obscure and harmless looking. That's not to say that it is harmless, but finding problems with what Google is doing takes at least a bit of intellectual thought.

Meanwhile, an artist secretly recording people is almost certain to have some sort of quirky agenda that's going to immediately turn a large amount of people off, even if it's ultimately silly and non-consequential.

> I think we'll be on the right track when city planners reclaim some of our current roads and make them available only to autonomous vehicles. They'll need their own garages, highways and streets to operate to fully realize it.

I'd rather subsidize automated electric trolley lines in cities than subsidize exclusive roads for automated personal vehicles.
I understand your opinion and I won't argue with the merits. I can say, though, that your experience and point of view inform your opinion and may not be universal. I can imagine the APL folks who look at Julia would be fine with it.
You're taking way too much of a good faith reading that comment. There's way more nuance than "communism bad," though it is very true that sanctions and the Castros and their cronies have both done great harm to Cuba.
This does give me pause and is pretty weird when you think about it.

The 'old way' makes a nice kind of sense. Company goes to the public to raise money to build a factory or something. In exchange the public gets a share of the company. The company builds the factory and is able to grow as a result, the public ownership of the stock rewards owners with some small cut of the profits.

Today almost none of that is true. There's enough private money that there's no financial need to go to public markets a lot of the time. Going public is mostly done for recruiting and giving employees that helped build the company liquidity. Public share holders no longer even have impactful voting rights a lot of the time (something I'm fine with, but still is relevant in comparing the value). The public invests because of the stock being tied to growth without dividends (and large passive index funds investments in retirement funds).

Why does stock value track company value when there's no actual value coming from it? Am I missing something obvious?

The above is the best case too - the bad case is best described by Matt Levine [0].

In some ways crypto assets are easier to understand - they're often tied to supporting the network infrastructure itself, or in the case of tokens whatever the protocol is doing. It aligns incentives around adoption of a decentralized protocol. The same is sort of true for share holders, but not really to the same extent and not as direct.

[0]: >"There are other business models. For instance you could make a product that people kind of want, or that they would want if it were affordable. Then you convince people to buy it by selling it for much less than it costs you to make it, or by paying them to buy it. If you do this well, you will have high revenue and rapid revenue growth, because lots of people are buying your product. You will not, however, get rich, because you’ll be spending more money making the product than you get from your customers. Your revenue will be high but your net income will be negative; it will cost you money to run this business.

> But then you will go to investors, and you will say “look, I have a company with rapidly growing revenue, that’s worth something, you should pay me for a share of my company.” And they will agree—“we love rapid revenue growth,” they will say—and you will sell stock in the company for hundreds of millions of dollars. And then it will cost them money to run the business, and you will be rich. There are various possible endgames; in some of them you go to prison but in quite a lot of them you just stay rich and become an elder statesman admired for your business acumen."

I thought this was going to be about the office toys from dead startups. I don't know how it is now but in the first dot-com boom in the late 1990s we had all kinds of kids toys like scooters, nerf guns, all over the office. Even then I thought it was sort of ridiculous to see grown adults playing with that stuff at work. In retrospect it should have been a big warning sign that none of this was going to last.

`str::replace(from, to)` replaces all instances of the pattern `from` in the string with `to` returning the result as a newly allocated String.

In theory the compiler could notice that the spaces added to the newly allocated strings are only used to influence the behavior of `split_whitespace` and do not otherwise affect the output of the function. In practice, it does not: https://rust.godbolt.org/z/z573Mvjzz The compiler does not decide to inline the call to `replace` and therefore does not do any special reasoning about it.
Cuba is only a 'developing economy' because of Castro's oppression. Otherwise, it should probably be above Brazil and Argentina in terms of standard of living.

It would be the highest in central/south America alongside Chile.

No it is not better. Java will preserve the integrity of the runtime. Still memory safety issues in go due to races are probably very hard to exploit so it might not make a huge difference in practice.

I'm not sure I follow. In ECSs that I'm familiar with, entities are integer IDs, not class objects. So adding or removing components (roles) to an entity doesn't make use of any language-level features, it's just calls to the ECS library. E.g. in JS:

var id = ecs.createEntity() // returns an int
ecs.addComponent(id, 'house')
ecs.addComponent(id, 'boat')

So, very different from the class-based approach being floated a few comments ago. Does that answer your question?
YES! I’m more scared of what’s in the permafrost we’re about to unleash than any other part of global warming... though most of that fear, for me, is from all that trapped methane’s effect on the atmosphere and climate. The awful contagions, viruses, bacteria, and death buried/hidden/locked away are seeming more and more like an apocalyptic “fatality” (think Mortal Kombat) move at this point...

Cuba trades with Venezuela, China, Spain, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and the Netherlands.

The rise of China is due to the economic reforms [0] launched in the late 70s by Deng Xiaoping and continued by his successors:

The Communist Party authorities carried out the market reforms in two stages. The first stage, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, involved the de-collectivization of agriculture, the opening up of the country to foreign investment, and permission for entrepreneurs to start businesses. However, a large percentage of industries remained state-owned. The second stage of reform, in the late 1980s and 1990s, involved the privatization and contracting out of much state-owned industry. The 1985 lifting of price controls[11] was a major reform, and the lifting of protectionist policies and regulations soon followed, although state monopolies in sectors such as banking and petroleum remained. In 2001, China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO). The private sector grew remarkably, accounting for as much as 70 percent of China's gross domestic product by 2005.[12] From 1978 until 2013, unprecedented growth occurred, with the economy increasing by 9.5% a year.

Yes, however for this specific situation `replace()` is not an iterator adapter but a method of `str` which returns a newly allocated `String`. In practice, the compiler does not do something smarter than that: https://rust.godbolt.org/z/z573Mvjzz

Ah, so maybe semifresh then. What's the advantage of the packs then? I can buy such juice at the supermarket, no?
If you were ever in such a situation, you'd know that by far the biggest limiting factor is actually the cost of the plane ticket and the visa. There isn't much of a distinction between both. Cuba fully ended exit visas 8 years ago.

> Why has society devolved into forcing others to do what we want?

Because the only way to provide for the health of a society is with socialized medicine. Most of the civilized world has settled on this conclusion and even we have basically half and half.

In that context allowing people to be stupid as they want to be is ultimately allowing the stupid people to spend everyone's money.
Yes, I know this. I was employing the same logic as the person I responded to. Namely, that since Cuba is a failure then it must be communism's fault. I just reversed things a bit. I was pointing out that simplistic reasoning is not sufficient to explain complex geopolitical situations.
> Typing Chinese is so much faster and easier than writing by hand.

The article is talking about how learning is facilitated by handwriting in a way that typing does not, and not about which results in more quickly produced text. (Also, it should be clear that how well you know the language will also put a bound on how fast you type.)

None of this is news. I've had teachers tell me this years ago. Writing engages the brain in a way that typing keys does not. That a study corroborates this claim is not surprising to me.

I agree with your wine-drinking physicians on clinical trial participation, and your question on how to improve broader participation.

It's not a 'Blockade', which would normally mean someone trying to stop anyone/anything from entering or leaving.

US Embargo against Cuba would surely be a drag on even a 'regular capitalist economy' - but at they same time they'd do just fine with it. They can trade anything with any of the other 180 nations of the world. Most prosperous nations don't trade that-that much with the US.

And if they were open and fair, there'd be no embargo.

Vaccine research isn’t food. Cuba is good at vaccine research. They are not good at producing food or material goods, and living standards have taken a further hit during the pandemic as tourism fell off.

It shouldn’t be hard to separate simple ideas. Communist countries were usually good at some things even though bad at most. The soviets produced good research, sports, film, and artistic talent. And atrocious living standards.

Good luck! Hopefully this provides value for all involved.
Perhaps it would have been, perhaps it wouldn't. There is no way to know, most likely it would have reverted towards the norm. Cuba has always been in very dire situations politically, I see no reason why Castro wouldn't have been replaced by someone else and then someone else etc...

As far as the embargo I don't think you can really separate it. Countries with more oppressive dictatorships have been able to develop economically if given the chance to trade.

Those replace calls are growing the strings--one character is being replaced by several. That has the potential for re-allocation in any language, depending on how much spare space is present.

"Warns" of threats is a great title, as that is all he does.

He's a great CEO. Has no outspoken opinion about anything yet maximizes financial results. It's what Google needs at this phase of its life cycle.

The article dares to even call him an idealist.

How so? He's too afraid to even directly mention the China issue, let alone take any responsibility for it. If you're too afraid to concretely even mention a human rights issue, how are you an idealist?

When mildly pressed for their tax misbehavior, the comeback is that they no longer use the double dutch construction. An idealist would apologize for even ever using it, and pay back what you dodged. Instead, we're supposed to be happy that they pay some bare minimum now, which...get this...is more than most companies.

How generous.

An idealist has principles, stands for something, and will defend doing the right thing at any and all costs. He's the opposite of an idealist.

I'm learning Japanese, and I'm learning the kanji using Heisig's Remembering The Kanji method. I combine that with flashcards on Anki on my PC. When it shows a keyword card, I'll write out the character on paper or I'll trace it in the air with my finger, then check if I got it right. That works surprisingly well to memorize them.

That said, the memory pathway should work for reading and writing, that is, recognition and production. I need a further skillset (pronunciation) in order to do that production on a computer, since being able to write individual characters by hand without any knowledge of the words or pronunciation isn't very useful.

Everything, I live in California and my family has lived here for generations. If droughts and higher heat are normal events and the fact that there are an extremely large amount of people living in California currently and a large portion of nations food are grown here are extremely concerning. Expect mass exoduses to other areas of the country, and sky high produce prices if a 60 year drought happens like has happened multiple times before. In addition if the 20th century and its wet abnormality allowed a population explosion to this area we need to expedite de-salinization efforts, reduce water wherever possible and reduce carbon as well.

"Undefined behaviour" has a specific technical meaning. In Go, data races can result in UB. In Java, they can't.

Java may be non-deterministic, or exhibit unintended behaviour in response to a race condition. UB is strictly worse because it could do either of those things... or indeed anything else, segfaulting being the least of your concerns.
