> Does a panic count as "handling" the error?

Undeniably? Fundamentally the language proposes, the developer disposes[0] and short of Rust being a total language, panics were going to be a thing.

So while one can argue that the ability to panic should not be so prominent, it's certainly an error handling strategy which was going to be used anyway, is perfectly valid (in some situations), and is convenient when you're designing or messing around.

Hell, even ignoring an error is a perfectly valid handling strategy, and indeed pretty easy to implement, just… explicit (though not the most visible sadly, it's much harder to grep a `Result` being ignored than one being unwrapped or expect-ed).

The important bit is that Rust warns you about the error condition(s), and lets you decode on how to handle it.

I’m very confused because to me it doesn’t look like either of you have expressed an opinion, so what are you claiming to agree or disagree with?

(eg “When is this coming to the US?” looks to me like a neutral question, neither for nor against the policy)
None of the proposals in the video can be achieved by 2035 either.

Indeed, probably the most realistic project to end CO2 emission in the US is still nuclear power - even with the 20 year delay (which we could cut in half if we had popular/political will).
So don’t start with coroutines and just look at OS scheduler and possibly the erlang VM?
What's wrong with the average temperature over many stars?

It gives you the best possible estimate (in a MSE sense) for the temperature of a new star for which you know nothing about.

It may not be a great estimate (e.g, the distribution is multimodal because stars come in various types), but it doesn't seem obviously nonsensical.
How do I get over the reluctance to grant an extension to "Access your data for all websites"? I would love to have some of these extensions but it feels like a huge security risk.
I used to drive a Nissan whose doors would unlock when you closed a door - I'm not sure if it was intentional or not. But I found I could also trigger the unlocking mechanism by punching the outside of the door at just the right spot. Very useful for when ice would get in the locks.
This has been our experience running an ad network that only does content-based targeting (https://www.ethicalads.io/). As noted in the article, simple heuristics and topics are plenty to target ads, and provide great value for both advertisers and publishers. We're also cutting out all the ad tech middlemen who take a cut, keeping the value in the developer ecosystem, and keeping the web more private & secure.

We basically let someone like Sentry or Twilio target JS developers with a specific ad about their JS integrations. They can link to JS-specific landing pages with sample code, etc. It works super well, and doesn't require anything beyond knowing the content of a page.
I personally disagree. Timbre will give the music a certain quality, and while it's no doubt a big part of the experience, I think the dynamics of piece will be much more central to the emotional response.

If a song has a sax solo that really touches your heart, and you replaced it with a trombone playing the exact same solo instead, the timbre would be completely different, but the emotions that it would evoke would likely be almost identical. The timbre would mainly affect how well one or the other might blend with the rest of the orchestration. If someone played Ode To Joy on a recorder with proper dynamics, I can guarantee they could make it sound good. All my personal opinion of course.
Like how evil-overlord can this be if they can't even get this basic stuff right?

The problem is not that the data is being used for ads, but that it exists at all. Google isn't what makes it scary that Google collects data. The scary part is hackers, state governments, and malicious authorized Google personnel.

"Rice Paddy" is also redundant, since the English paddy comes from the Malay padi, "rice plants".

And while "original rice paddy" is a correct if painfully literal translation, something like "Mainfield" probably captures the essence better. In Japanese, a field defaults to rice and there's a separate word (畑 hatake) for non-rice fields, with a little fire radical 火 added to the rice field 田 to show that this is a burned (dry) field instead of a wet one.
The water usage metric is a joke. Do you think dairy cows in Normandy or England lack any water, or that anyone is impacted by said water usage? Just visit there, you'll see what I mean.

The carbon metric is also a joke, for a different reason: cows raised on mostly grass can have a negative impact. Cattle fed corn is another story, but the problem here is not the cows or the milk but industrial agriculture.

Next we have land usage. I just came back from a hike in the mountain. Saw plenty of cows munching on ski slopes, they make excellent cheese. What kind of food could be produced there instead? Certainly not rice or almonds or whatever.

Finally the nutriments is all dependent on what you make of fats. Ansel Keyes and his followers have been claiming saturated fat was bad for your heart, in the mean time France has the highest butter consumption in the world by far and we also happen to have among the best heart health numbers (and no, it's not red wine).
Catch 22: The Future of the Gig Economy
Regarding CO2, seems like cows would only produce as much as they consume from feed that first captured that CO2 from the atmosphere, so if you are sourcing local and not shipping feed / cows around seems like it should be close to zero?
Seconded. Of all the milk alternatives, oat milk tastes the best and has great viscosity. (maybe even better than whole milk, certainly better than 2%)

It also serves as a great ingredient in beverages and avoids the allergen & California drought issues of almond milk.
Sorry, I've worked with so many puritans that I assumed you were expressing their sentiment. Yes I agree with never adding restrictions on media.
While this is a true factoid, civil law in Canada is restricted to Quebec, and is ultimately subordinate to the constitution, which is interpreted in a nearly identical manner to American law, in the common law style. The civil law influence is mostly restricted to Quebec in areas of provincial jurisdiction (family law, small claims, etc.) The Copyright Act is federal and would get the common law handling.

(Approximately the same situation is true in the USA with Louisiana, whose state laws also have a form inherited or at least strongly influenced by the Napoleonic code, ultimately, but since harmonized to fit into a common law system.)
It would be of a temperature where most things are rocks.

They used to, a very long time ago, and when they did it was an outdated version. Nowadays they have a proprietary alternative that sucks.

Modern Samba is limited by the TCP stack. You can get 10gbps to work as long as your TCP stack is performant enough with very basic tuning on the server side. The client "just works".

macOS stopped shipping Samba with 10.7 Lion. Even before Samba was outdated.
I tried soy and almond and didn't care for them at all. When oat milk was all the rage I wrote it off as hype. Last week I decided to buy a half gallon of planet oat unsweetened original and I was surprised how much I liked it. I actually wound up pouring small cups as a treat and finished the half gallon in a week. I bought the dark chocolate version yesterday to give it a go. It has a pleasant coca flavor without being too chocolaty or sweet. Its like a thin chocolate shake. Dangerous as I drank 2/3 of it already.
Where is the oat milk getting it's extra calories? Using the usual 9kcals per gram fat and 4kcals per gram protein and gram carbohydrates, I get the expected 120ish amount for cow milk but only 71kcal for oat milk (listed at 100kcals). I guess the table is missing non-sugar carbohydrates?
This is incredibly wrong. Google and Facebook are primarily algo driven ad platforms now, with all the best targeting being algorithmically derived. Large ad accounts on FB pretty much never use the "interesting sounding chunks" you're referring to anymore.
Just because you have one reason doesn't mean you shouldn't have others. There's nothing to discuss about whether it restricts freedom or not; not even the people who instituted the restriction would deny that it was a restriction.
Others have already recommended therapy and I agree. I would also recommend loving-kindness mediation, and reading the book "Don't Shoot the Dog" to understand how brains work.

I could try giving you financial advice, but the problem is that you would not follow it, and we both know it. So instead, I will recommend a few tricks I use to make myself believe that I have less money than I actually have (which reduces the impulse to spend too much).

First, realize that "the money you have" is just a fiction anyway. Suppose you have a $100,000 mortgage, and $10,000 in your bank account. Does it mean you have $10,000 that you are free to spend? No, it actually means you have $90,000 debt. The number $10,000 is so misleading that the less you think about it, the better for you. (You have an option to reduce the fiction by making an advance payment to the mortgage. Perhaps you should do it when the feeling "I have too much money" becomes too strong.)

Perhaps you should get a second bank account, move some money from the first account there, and then forget that the second account exists. Even better, if possible, make it so that only your wife (or both of you together) can move money from the second account. Again, when the feeling "I have too much money" gets too strong, move some money from the first account to the second account, and then forget that you did this. (There should be no card associated with the second bank account.)

I am not American, so I don't know whether this would be a practical advice or a huge inconvenience for you, but don't use cards, always pay cash. With cards, paying is too easy, and the money is too virtual. Do you NOT want to simplify things you want to do less of! Keep between $100 and $500 in your purse, pay cash, and whenever you get below $100, take $400 more from an ATM. If you notice yourself visiting the ATM twice during the same week, you know you are spending too much. More importantly, this way your brain will learn to interpret "how much money do I have" as the amount in your purse, not the amount in your bank account (and definitely not the amount in your second bank account.)

Generally, the best way to get rid of a habit is to replace it with an alternative. "When you feel tempted to do X, do Y instead" is easier than "simply stop doing X". What could be a replacement for your Amazon scrolling? (Alternatively, could you somehow subvert the process, so that you e.g. scroll for awesome things, then you bookmark them in the browser, but you never actually buy them?) Could you read a book or watch a movie instead? Play a computer game (some ancient game, without loot boxes and stuff)? Learn to cook, or build furniture? (If it must be buying, could you add some artificial constraint, such as "I am going to find the most awesome thing below $5, and then I will buy it"?) Or maybe you could spend some time with people who have much less than you... and perhaps buy something genuinely useful for them. (As a side effect, thinking about other people's problems makes you think less about yourself. Think how many homeless people you could feed for that $5,000.)
Then you could hear them coming and avoid them

Data that is incorrectly analyzed much of the time is still a privacy threat, and sometimes a bigger privacy threat. It's bad enough if your purchases are correlated with being a terrorist, but having your purchases sometimes incorrectly correlated with being a terrorist is worse.
I strongly suspect you're correct, but I still think it's terrible targeting. The "sell to people who already bought one" approach is only better when compared against awful targeting techniques. And it kind of misses the point anyway. For a niche product, a market that already knows about you is pretty much always going to be more likely to buy from you than a market that has never heard of you. But part of the job of an advertiser is to expand the market that has heard of you, not just wallow in it.

Think of it this way: if I'm building a video recommendation system, I guarantee I can get much better click rates over random recommendations if instead I recommend you random videos only from your watch history. Heck, honestly I can probably boost click rates over almost any existing recommendation system by taking that system and filtering it so it only shows suggestions from channels in your watch history. People are repetitive.

But is that system good? Is it innovative or useful for a recommendation be constantly asking you to re-watch videos from your history? Is that actually fulfilling any of the promises that the recommendation system was sold on? No, not really. I definitely wouldn't call that a 'smart' system.

And if I had a company that had invested years of research into building an ad targeting system, and the result was just "sometimes people repeat themselves" -- that seems like a ton of wasted effort in order to get a pretty underwhelming result.

Targeted ads are sold to consumers as an unobtrusive way to learn about new products (whether that's an honest representation of the system is a separate question). So targeting of this nature is still a pretty big failure, even if it does increase clicks.

I get the same thing, but for the engagement ring I bought my (now) wife. I feel like this signals one of two things: either the advertisers are incompetent (most likely), or they have very low confidence in my marriage (less likely, but funnier).

What Is Snorkle.ai and Why Is It Worth over 1B Dollars?
Apple 'neuralhash' usually survives resize (the first step it does is resize the image to 360x360) or minor compression lossy changes.

But the price of that is that it's not secure against generating arbitrary preimages based on fairly arbitrarily targets, with results that look nothing like the original image you're matching (if one even exists).

They could do some downsample, transform, quantize, sha256 approach that would still survive some tiny amount of differences. ... but apple favors easily constructed false positives over false negatives, even though its trivial for anyone trying to avoid their function to get a false negative. Their scheme only protects against accidental false negatives. It's just a symptom of systematically favoring factors other than the privacy and security of the actual owner and user of the computer.
I agree that it is better than C and C++ but not much better.

C and C++ are "It is very easy to make this mistake which leads to undefined behaviour and a maybe incorrect program."

Go is "It is very easy to make this mistake which leads to a maybe incorrect program."

Yes, better! But the problem is still there. I much prefer the Rust solution where there is no common mistake.

Using it for a service still isn't 'redistribution' as per the GPL. It still wouldn't be considered to have left the organization. It's perfectly fine use as per the GPL.

And if it's the French government who contracted the whole thing, they're the original owner, not Orange, but either way it's fine (an owner giving access to a contractor to work on a program containing GPL code isn't considered redistribution either, nor is a contractor using open-source code in a project for a client).

Edit - also even if Orange used it internally, then made the French government a service which uses it, as long as Orange simply re-sourced the code for the government it's fine. It's like Amazon selling hosted Linux images.

> However, the framebuffer driver has been extracted from the GUI service

Extracted? Last time I look at it, they were inserting a patch in the main (and only) binary of the proprietary GUI via LD_PRELOAD, and then all other programs which wanted to draw _anything_ to the screen would basically _directly alter the memory_ of the proprietary GUI binary in order to modify its internal framebuffer. You have to do that whether you want to integrate with the main GUI or not -- since you need this hack to draw anything to the screen.

Literally every other Remarkable update so far has killed all of this.
