I cannot understand your argument.

For release builds, the default compilation options result in unsafe programs, both for Rust and for C++.

So with default options, all Rust programs are unsafe and all C++ programs are unsafe.

I do not see any difference whatsoever.

It is true that there is one difference in the options required for safe programs.

For Rust you have just one option, to enable overflow checks.

For C++, you must give 2 different options, one to enable overflow checks and one to forbid the optimizations that assume that integer overflow cannot happen.

The extra flexibility of the C++ compilers is actually useful, because there are cases when you are certain that overflow cannot happen and in that cases you want the compiler to do all the applicable optimizations.

The right way to use such options is to always enable the safe options, which will ensure correct behavior for the program in all cases and to disable the checks and/or enable the unsafe optimizations only for the cases when it can be predicted for sure that overflows will not happen.

The failure cases for mistaken wrapping and "mistaken undefined" (the latter meaning that the compiler is allowed to assume that overflow cannot happen) are not different.

If an unexpected overflow happens, that is a certain failure in both cases.

When your program is written to work with modular numbers a.k.a. wrapping numbers, that is a different case and in that case enabling overflow checks will break that program.

Interval numbers and modular numbers are distinct types that cannot be interchanged in a program whenever interval overflow or modular reduction may happen.

AIUI that won't work, because of the cost structures.

Nuclear power has very long planning horizon and the high fixed costs mean that it needs to run fairly near capacity. AIUI you can't run a nuclear plant profitably if it's idle whenever the sun shines, so you could say that deploying nuclear blocks solar. Or put the other way around, letting company X have the option of deploying solar later blocks company Y from building nuclear now.

It all used to be the same scene, at the advent some sceners only being there for gfx art. ( the cracktro and asci/ansi art people, now evolved to demoscene )
Eventually, the scene started to grow, diverge and many groups specialized in only certain aspects.

I find it fairly important to be “human,” in my interactions; professional, or otherwise.

That said, I’m also responsible for keeping the tenor of my communication constructive.

There will be mistakes (on my part, and on the part of others), as well as miscommunications, but they can be kept to a minimum, and addressed on a case-by-case basis.

I’m a big believer in sincere, appropriate, apologies. They have been enormously effective, in my own career.

I won’t apologize for breathing your oxygen, but I also won’t avoid taking responsibility and accountability for what’s mine.

When we weasel out of responsibility, we also surrender agency and power. If it’s our fault, it is also our bailiwick. An apology may seem like a weakness, but it can actually be the opposite.

I'd say the key thing wrong with it is that it's not actionable. It doesn't express what the commenter would like to see changed. It's just general vague disapproval.

Harsh or soft, criticism should always be actionable. The way you describe Torvalds' feedback, that's actionable, when someone is told what makes their code unacceptable, so they can correct course and try again.

EDIT: I should edit to add, the post that the quote is from -does- in fact then go on to point out what it finds unacceptable. But I'm commenting just on the quote.

Seems plausible to me. One of the streamers on Twitch had an actual wooden board on the wall he lasered subscriber names onto, and some of the regulars had fun finding lewd usernames to gift subs to.

What does it mean to invest if nobody consumes? Why not just work less?

Anyway, if every invests and nobody consumes, then investment itself becomes consumption because e.g. factories need maintenance even if they don't produce anything. Investments are usually self supporting, you intend to at least get your money back.

Something obvious: If investments make losses then people stop investing. There is a problem though. Buying existing real estate in popular locations is more profitable so people spend their money on something that basically provides no benefit to society. Yes, invest your money by building more housing and renting the properties out, don't invest by speculating on appreciation.

There is also another problematic "investment". Without inflation, holding onto money is never unprofitable so not only do businesses and their workers have to compete with real estate, they also have to compete with money during a recession! That is why we have some mild inflation, inflation is basically a maintenance fee on money and it makes sense because e.g. labor and food cannot be stored indefinitely.
> Now, heavy loads and a strict time limit on each delivery make the job incredibly dangerous

C'mon, delivering groceries across town in a first-world country is "extremely dangerous"? I wonder how would he qualify the jobs that actually ARE extremely dangerous, such as soldiers deployed to a combat zone, underwater welders etc. I wonder if this was merely a hyperbole, or if the author is genuinely out of touch with reality.
Exactly what I think. This is the kind of code that doesn't have a platonic ideal, it has to get updated with time and experience and reports. There is no "non-hacky" way to do this, you just have to look at the reports that are coming in and keep adding rules that are relevant.

You can put a number on the cost of the Fukushima disaster, but you're not putting one on that of other power sources. Coal burners make the whole world pay, nuclear operators have to deal with their own shit. And yes, I'm not counting Chernobyl-type accidents, because while it would be foolish to claim that events like Fukushima will never happen again, it's equally foolish to not recognize that dodgy old dinky soviet plants with no passive safety measures whatsoever are a solved problem.

> If whatever market they were purchased on collapses, I simply live in the home and eat the food to realize their value

If the market for food „collapses“ that means there is too much of it. Its value has gone down because your fellow humans do not want to buy any food from you anymore. Now, you can eat your own food, yes, but if you hoarded too much of it you will have to let the remainders rot away. In this extreme case the value of a good is only given by yourself. So your argument does not contradict the subjective theory of value at all.

On the day nobody cares for Bitcoin anymore, its value will go to _almost_ zero. Maybe some former Bitcoin zealots will keep the blockchain on their hard disks anyway as a memory. Then some subjective value will be left to Bitcoin even then.

> Or simply omit all alphas and use only numerics.

That works pretty well until you realize that some numerical combinations are common neo-nazi codes and may lead to ... unfortunate associations. The ADL lists a few of those^1, but the list is by far not comprehensive, codes actually differ based on locality, and accidental combinatory collision in a 10-character space than it is in an alphanumerical 36-character space.

> One can only wonder what would happen if IBM had spent those billions on the Intel version of OS/2 in the first place.

One can only wonder why did it take billions to develop an OS, let alone failed. There probably was more skyscraper-paid managers than developers in the project.

Just look at what and how fast a small team has achieved developing Serenity OS from scratch for free.
Sure, they stood on the shoulders of giants of modern C++, modern hardware etc but I doubt the difference of how hard it is to develop an OS today and then is SO big it is worth billions.

I think an important factor to consider is that soldiers and underwater welders get paid more than minimum wage.

They usually also have other options for income if they wanted, and walked eyes wide open into their role knowing the risks involved. Most of that doesn’t apply to minimum wage couriers.
Unfortunately all the others are worse.
Popular apps will be as slow as user can tolerate. Because if they're not slow enough, it invites developers to introduce another abstraction layer.

Good thing is, that it's possible to create truly groundbreaking apps using non-conventional techniques, as web becomes faster and richer with new APIs.

For example with Wasm and WebGPU it's possible to create AAA games running in the browser. Someone will do it. It'll be awesome.

I have one example to prove my words. I used iPhone 4S. With iOS 6 I was able to use navigator software which worked very snappy and awesome. Few years later with iOS 9, navigator was very slow, forcing me to buy new phone eventually. With iPhone 8 it returned to blazing fast. But it did not have any new functions. They just started to consume more memory, just because they can. My UX did not change a little bit. I just had to buy new phone with infinitely faster CPU and loads of RAM, just to keep my UX from degrading.

All of that is however, quite debatable whether it should or should not done by the foundation, but the utterly lack of communication and community participation is the problem here.

Compare those to Bitcoin... can you honestly tell me that Bitcoin constitutes a significant amount of energy consumption in that context?

And it's also worth noting that energy consumption isn't necessarily bad for climate change. You're conflating "energy consumption" with "CO2 emissions". It's CO2 emissions that are the problem, and Bitcoin energy consumption is far more green than most other industries.

So we have a monetary network that consumes a globally insignificant amount of energy and is more green than many other industries... is it really a significant problem?
