Nice to see so many people mentioning `map_err`. This is exactly what I've done when working with Rust (I have professional experience with both, slightly more with Go) and it's a dream compared with Go's error handling.
I disagree. The value of the pound plummeted as a result of Brexit. So relative wages might increase in future, but there is no guarantee that it will make workers any wealthier overall. Of course you might argue you only care about relative wealth, but then you have to worry about inflation due to rising cost of imports etc. I think it's more complicated than the simplistic picture you paint above.

For me the things that need to change in the UK are to (i) reduce the cost of access to education and (ii) reduce the cost of housing.
I built a blog with metalsmith years ago. I decided to resurrect it recently and, though I tried, I could not find anything to beat its simplicity. A JSON file provides the flow, plugins do the work. Only thing against is that the plugins encourage developers to create multiple and largely undesirable node dependencies.

This is a decent summary of some of the possible dirty dealings VPN companies are doing to make money: https://www.techuseful.com/hola-vpn-and-nordvpn-partners-in-.... Not sure how much of what was in the article was eventually proven to be true, but it does highlight a few possibilities.

In short, they can either spy on your browsing history and sell your data or they can hijack your bandwidth and resell it to shady people and you inevitably become part of some botnet.

As someone who deals with businesses and their taxes and tax litigation, I can see a hundred ways this can be abused to be just below the threshold and do whatever the shit the business wants.
Same. I’ve been loving my M1 Mac Mini for almost a year. Cool, silent, fast and compact.
Ah, yes that is sketchy.
It isn't a panacea. Switching to Swift or Rust wouldn't prevent all vulns. But it would improve things. Modern code, strong developers, rigorous testing, static analysis, and fuzzing all make things better but they still consistently fail to enable developers to produce programs free of memory errors. This is true even for applications that have absolutely world class people doing these things.

You need all of it. Language safety is only part of the path forward, but it is an essential part.
Thanks, I will check out the live wallpaper. There's also the Wait But Why post about this [1] with a physical calendar that they sell.

My favorite option so far, however, is the customizable printable calendar written by someone else that can be generated online [2] or run locally (Python) [3], both adapting to your date of birth for easier use, and the Python code can obviously be customized for any of your other needs by editing the script.

Energy does have one big advantage over matter: you can send it at the speed of light.

The implications of this in a world with both mass->energy and energy->mass conversion are left as an exercise for the reader.
Yes.

You can build a system that efficiently serves the 98% case of "simple" customers. Then you can ignore the 2% unprofitable/complicated customers, forcing them to go to other vendors.

If you're big enough, you starve your competitors of the low-cost/simple customers. So their cost structure goes way up, which in turn prices the services out of reach of all other customers except the stupidly profitable, which is to say: gambling and porn.

(This has parallels to the USPS v. FedEx/UPS problem in the US, with the exception that the USPS is required to serve all customers, so no one is completely without service)
Studies have primarily observed a modest decline in effectiveness among older people and the immunocompromised, which is why some jurisdictions have recommended boosters for these people (Israel, California). There is a reason boosters have not been approved anywhere for the general population, and that is because so far the data does not indicate they are necessary.
I don't think it's reasonable to describe the Taliban as "part of the same great cultural current which is at its root a dialectic between royals and clerics in ksa".

The Taliban are interested in Afghanistan. In fact I suspect they are primarily interested in "Pashtunistan", or Waziristan. They are interested in western Afghanistan only insofar as it is primarily Shia, and the Taliban are very much sectarian Sunnis. I don't think many Taliban are particularly interested in what happens in faraway Saudi Arabia.

AQ are interested in destroying the enemies of their kind of Sunni islam, especially in Saudi Arabia and the USA. So while the Taliban and AQ share a Sunni affiliation, the former want to run Afghanistan; the latter want to change the whole world.
Terrifying. Thanks for sharing that

I don't see them claiming they don't keep track of the transactions, so what's the problem? It's just a temporary card so the merchant doesn't know your original one, but in case of problems the intermediary still knows who you are, what your original card is, and who you paid to.

People who work in the trades with imperial measures get used to fractions and reasoning about distances in fractions.

I have this 2-5/8 tile I need to split in half. Ok, 1-5/16. Contrast that with 2.625 / 2 = 1.3125.

I'm sure tradespeople who use metric have their own ways of making simple calculations in their heads, but that's an example of why a lot of people who work with fractions prefer them.
It does indirectly come from age, because legacy and backward compatibility mean that you can't simply change some core parts of the language at all. For instance, std::optional uses UB because _all_ of C++ does the same, and making std::optional<T>::operator* different from std::unique_ptr<T>::operator* would have caused similar concepts to have a different behaviour - something that would have definitely translated into weird bugs.

Also, C++ hasn't features like built-in move semantics and borrow checking, so it's very hard to enforce certain things that just come natural in Rust. That's simply stating a fact. The real point here is that std::optional<T> is much less likely to cause UB than a plain, old C pointer, so it's a net improvement - even though it could still lead to UB in some circumstances.

It is not the same building, just because it's the same form at the same place. It lacks the same "Experience" that forged the previous building. There is some value in individuality, at least on the emotional level. For example, every one has parents, but your own parents usually are the one which you consider special.

> Buildings require maintenance, so even buildings that is continuing to stand is not the same building, in the style of ship of Theseus.

Western buildings are usually not getting replaced in its whole. Most parts of the building will remain over its whole life. Similar happening with other old objects. Books are still valued for their age, even if the text they contain can be found elsewhere.

The value of old objects is their age and their history, not their content or function.
Given an AM/PM 12 hour system, unless it's obvious from context, the best thing is usually to write noon or midnight. 12am and 12pm in isolation can absolutely be confused. Even if I know the convention, I don't know if the person writing 12am does.

I agree with this sentiment in general, but in this case it sounds like a human at Stripe did review the case, and Stripe still decided not to do business with them.

Hiring more customer service humans is not a guarantee that every customer will get what they want.
Sounds a lot like the CHON (Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen) food I've read about in some science fiction novels I've read.

It would make sense that if you could "print" food from CHON then to restock during your inter-galactic travels you'd just need to find some nice asteroids with the requisite materials.
For the eventual consumers of the servers at the discounted prices: are we going to see the price decrease benefits?

If say GCP/AWS/Azure decide to build a DC in a new region, and they go blue primarily because of the discounts, would the pricing end up being slightly smaller than otherwise?

I can understand that electricity, cooling and other costs would have an influence; but I'm wondering whether performance & price per watt end up being passed or recouped downstream.
You are complaining about your house being torn down, not the motorway for which your house was torn down. No need to bring the motorway into this unrelated matter.
The whole citizenship revocation sounds absurd. If an immigrant has given up their previous citizenship after gaining Australian citizenship revocation makes them a person without citizenship which is a rather weird concept. If they didn't there still is no such concept which would make them more of a citizen of one country than another so revoking their citizenship doesn't make much more sense than that of one who has been born a citizen. It they are considered a criminal - fine them or put them in a prison, just like you would any other citizen.
Not OP but I share their sentiment. In my estimation such a reading list should include:

- managing oneself, drucker

- tech revolutions and financial capital, perez

- measure what matters, doerr (maybe… as an addendum to high output management)

What was the original title of this thread? It just changed when I refreshed.
I'd say the Oklahoma City bombing had a far greater impact in civil engineering and architecture than 9/11. The Oklahoma City bombing jump-started an awful lot of research into new topics such as progressive collapse, quantification and classification of dynamic loads from explosives, structural modeling techniques, and even design of passive defenses to mitigate the impact of these structural actions. Not so much 9/11 in general and the twin towers attack in particular. I invite anyone to run a few queries on Google scholar on the topic to get an idea of how the Oklahoma City bombing pops up in quite a few papers evem up to this day.
Makes perfect sense! It's encouraging to hear that kids still play creatively.
Probably so, but I think as long as you ensure the error gets handled somewhere (rather than crashing the program) it is good tradeoff to make. That was the problem (IMHO) with unchecked exceptions in Java. You make everything an unchecked exception because constantly adding code to handle checked exceptions is annoying and verbose, but then if you don't handle the unchecked exceptions somewhere then they crash the JVM. This is where I think the Scala/Rust approach is best. The compiler can force you to handle the error somewhere but there is very little syntactic overhead if you want to ignore an error in any particular function.
Depends on what you want to use a VPN for. If your use case is pirating the latest TV show, any VPN that's been subpoenaed and produced no records like PIA will be fine. If your use case is something that could get you in trouble with actual authorities, you'd be a fool to ever use your own internet connection. A clean (never had any of your PII or files on it) computer and a long-range wifi antenna to a public hotspot is the only level of security I find acceptable. The computer should never visit any sites you visit and obviously should never log into anything. Ideally while using it you should shut down your personal wifi so the potentially compromised hot computer never detects it as the strongest wifi signal.

The correct level of paranoia is behaving in such a way that all your systems could be fully compromised and it would still never link to your real identity. If you're scared of anything short of a signal locator van you're doing it wrong.

we used to have toilets on the tube, but the IRA kept on sticking bombs in them.

the "troubles" were utterly destructive, and left permanent scars in the UK. However it nothing to the sheer destruction that occurred in NI/6 counties.

The Financial Times only recently(~2010) began receiving post at their HQ because the amount of suspicious shit that used to mailed to them and other press outlets. All of the glass was laminated, so that should a lorry bomb be detonated there, it wouldn't shred everyone behind them.

for the UK, terrorism was always something to do with the troubles all the way up until well past the iraq war. London was neutral ground, much to the annoyance of the rest of the five eyes.

Actually encouraging landlordism will decrease rents.

- Buy-and-hold rental property investors buy properties using Excel, and are vastly less susceptible to hyped and emotional pricing than the public.

- More landlords = more capital available for home-builders = more houses built

- Supply and demand - more houses and more landlords, with the same number of tenants, shifts pricing power to the tenants
Loved them, and would have switched to the Key2 line were it not for the prospect of using Android as-is. I opted for LineageOS on a cheap phone instead. Maybe there will be proper custom-rom support for those devices one day.

The first BB phone I tried was the Curve 9320 and it remains the most responsive, perfect phone I've ever experienced. The BB10 devices were decent but came far too late.

Why doesn’t the back button work on your site?
Before M1 my only exposure to ARM has been low-power SBCs and Android devices, and the experience was mediocre in the “just works” department. Poor hardware support, and a lack of proprietary software support. Performance was also lacking. Apple’s tight integration and high-end CPUs have resulted in a vastly better experience, but I want to have more options than just macOS and MacBooks. I think we’re trending in the right direction, but it’s going to be a while before (5 years IMO) before we see anything approaching competitive to the M-series chips from major market players. If Microsoft could fix their frankly horrid x86 compatibility on aarch64 devices thing would speed along nicely I think.
I agree with this point. Errors is a natural important part of programming. You can try to make error handling easier through sugar, but in the end you need to handle the error one way or the other. A proper sum-type would help in Go, but that's at best a more convenient and better way of handling the error. The error doesn't magically disappear.

I literally checked every-day for many months to see if I could get an internet connection.

Australian high speed fiber optic internet was sabotaged by the Liberal government and Murdoch empire and now the infrastructure probably wont be improved for a very long time to come, another example of blatant corruption in which the people end up suffering for.
