I mean ... sure? However, I won't be funding it. At least not upfront. [That is, I might buy it after you finish and show it to be good.]

Rust is probably better than C or C++ for writing an OS ... however it has some behaviors that don't make it ideal. Rewriting the OS in Rust will perhaps simply have to start over again when some frustrated OS devs go off and make an even better language for writing the OS.

Heavily augment the OS in Rust is a much more believable effort. The main architecture can be in C and then all the utilities, misc functionality, etc can be in Rust. This is also kind of what Rust was built to do (heavily augment a web browser already written in C++).

Finally, my money is on the far future having most OSes built with multiple languages. Each one specializing in what is required for the given domain. It sounds like Windows is already taking this route (iirc Windows 8 and 10 have some drivers (probably usb) written in the P language).

OSes are important enough for our society that I think it makes sense for us to put some extra effort into their construction. Several custom languages and 50ish years of calendar time to get an output feels like it's going to be worth the cost.
That is an absurdly broad reading of "crimes against peace," so much so that you are just diluting the meaning of "war crimes."

rather uncharitable description - that PHP implements dozens of interesting features and recall. It is true that it is a mess, however.

L7’s should write code that only needs L4’s to maintain.
Disclaimer: I don't play a lot of games, and those I do play, I only play the single player campaigns, so I may be completely off and naïve here.

But, from what I've seen, there is no fee for online games. Once you buy the game, you can either not play online or play online, for the same price. There is no "cover charge", so to speak, on top of the original game price.

The publisher could try to unload the burden of the server maintenance to the players, in some sort of decentralized fashion, since running the server doesn't bring in any new money, but it does have a cost.

I'm not sure how the whole "loot boxes" / dlc thing integrates into all this, though I don't see why they wouldn't be able to sell those in a decentralized environment, too.
This thread reminds me of a joke:

>I wonder if lithium will give us the same geopolitical results as petrol

Highly doubtful. Lithium is one of the most common elements, and the oceans contain hundreds of billions of tons of dissolved lithium. The concentrations are low, but there is plenty of research on sea water extraction [ie., 0] which also may dovetail very nicely with other efforts like desalination (using the resulting concentrated brine), and we're moving to a world with a lot of potential cheap solar/wind energy that will result in extraneous power in need of economic applications. Lithium is also very recyclable. Places with more lucky concentrated lithium certainly can have some economic advantages in pricing, but not in fundamental supply as happens with fossil fuels. At the end of the day that sets a pretty hard ceiling on global pricing, let alone strategic level pricing. Any first world nation with any coast could embark on sea water extraction if they felt it was important enough, combined with aggressive recycling operations, and then just be set. Very different dynamic then consumable fossil fuels.

Edit to your other post:

>Everything is everywhere

That obviously isn't true, oil isn't everywhere. Lots of places simply don't have any domestically at all, at any price. And it's a fuel, unlike lithium. It gets used up. Obviously getting together all the infrastructure for a lithium using energy economy is going to cost a lot, but so did (and does) fossil fuel infrastructure. And surely many countries won't actually bother because of comparative advantage elsewhere, but the fact that they could naturally will reduce the geopolitical leverage.

Private equity’s strange love affair with hydra-headed leadership
A friend was visiting NYC and staying in my Brooklyn neighborhood at an Airbnb back in 2019. One night we were out and we ran into his Airbnb host at a bar. He was French and told me he had about a couple dozen units in the neighborhood all converted to Airbnb hotels, none of which he owned, all of them in some sort of agreement with the landlords. He said he had some in Paris as well and wanted to get up to 50 by the end of the year. He had zero insight into how this was completely problematic and was ruining life for the locals, all he cared about was making lots of money.

It's infuriating that we let companies like this be founded on completely illegal premises and continue operating.

> He is AGAINST legislation for trans rights.

Anybody who is FOR legislation of "rights" predicated on a non-falsifiable self-proclamation is almost certainly an idiot.

I don't dispute that gender dysphoria is real, it most certainly is. I don't dispute that living this way in a world that doesn't acknowledge who you are is a real bummer.

But advocating for legal recognition of a person's declaration, a word that cannot be objectively falsified, is absolutely a recipe for disaster. For every legitimately gender-dysphoric person, I bet there is a sexual predator rubbing his hands in anticipation for access to womens' spaces. And by what standard can the legal system deny them?

And why stop at gender? What stops me from falsely identifying as Black in order to qualify for scholarships or other programs intended to correct societal imbalances? By what right does a legal system that accepts the premise of subjective declaration as truth stop me from claiming Tribal casino profits or squatting on indigenous land?

It is the very height of idiocy to believe that a system of laws could possibly rest upon non-falsifiable claims.

Does it suck to live with identify disorders of any kind? Yes, absolutely. But should we upend our entire value system of objectivity of law in order to address it? Hell no.

These companies are going to screw themselves by not policing the behavior of landlords. The government will do it for them, as evidenced by this move. I know VRBO does nothing to protect renters (unless they get raped/assaulted and need to head off bad PR). There needs to be transparency about who owns and is ultimately responsible for the property. VRBO currently insulates owners/operators from accountability to renters. I got ripped off for $2100 and had no recourse from VRBO. No way to file a complaint and it was clear once I went looking for support that it was 100% focused on helping owners/operators use their platform.

The current requirement to assure that a renter doesn't get ripped off is to use a credit card that will refund their money in the event the owner tries to rip them off. Good luck to the un-banked and working poor.
> in-kernel C code in itself is very safe

Any citation on that?

The idea of 'virtual worlds' has taken off in free-roam games like Fortnite. So much so that Epic have hosted concerts by Ariana Grande and Travis Scott, where the performance happens inside the game, with the artists represented as 3d avatars.

To me, that looks utterly pointless, but then again, I don't understand the appeal of watching other people play games for hours, and that's already proven to be a multi-billion industry somehow.

As much as I love Delphi, the language syntax hasn't aged well. Single pass compilation was great to have in the 1980's but nowadays even the humblest Raspberry Pi will chew through thousand of lines of C++ and link an optimized executable within seconds.

We deserve and can afford a lot more comfort than Pascal (and siblings) provides. Incidentally, modern language ergonomics also adds much in the way of coding safety, making usage of explicit allocation control a more manageable problem than it was 30 years ago.

I'd argue that having the event system semantics layered on top of a sql database is a big benefit when you have an immature product, since you have an incredibly powerful escape hatch to jump in and fire off a few queries to fix problems.

Google's "dialect" both makes sense with other things I've heard about working for them and makes working for them less appealing. The flexible generic and compile-time resolution paradigms offered by templates are a lot of the reason it's compelling to use C++ over other languages, and while it's a totally reasonable language to use for speed if you stick to gluing together STL containers/algorithms, making anything complicated under those rules sounds very unpleasant.
The thing is, at that price, even without telemedicine, it's still profitable and in the process you've awarded yourself a small vacation to Paris.
People tend to not realize how big "at scale" problems really are. Instead anything at a scale at the edge of their experience is "at scale" and they reach for the tools they've read one is supposed to use in those situations. It makes sense, people don't know what they don't know.

And thus we have a world where people have business needs that could be powered by my low end laptop but solutions inspired by the megacorps.
Security of so many things is an absolute joke. The teleprompter only needs to be connected to the writers network, and could easily be a read-only system that just pull the script from the network.

Because people are social "who knows you" is also important and impacts your learning. Finding the right people who are open to you asking 4 levels of questions is critical. This often requires you offer them something back. How you build those relationships is something to learn.
An interesting contrast is Vietnam. On the surface it looks like they’ve gone full Gordon Gekko capitalism. But the party is managing everything in the background. They are happy to let foreign investment flow in and Vietnamese get rich…to a point.

Think of it like this: 1) we’ll extract as much value from the capitalist model, 2) but strip any power capitalists might gain from their business dealings. Anyone who gains enough economic power to threaten the party will be squashed.

This is all about winding in the heads that got too big. Think of people like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos. They would never be tolerated in China unless they were firmly in the camp of the CCP.

Ok, so let's say bitcoin is half priced then... still ok for me :D

Besides, not being backed by real USD doesn't mean people didn't pour in real money. So in the end only the Tethers that were created out of thin air count towards the price inflation. So the ones people paid money for are still 'legit' in that sense.

So worst case still seems OK for me.
> I’m curious if you’re suggesting it would be better to increase complexity by allowing all of C++?

No, definitely not. I’m wondering if there might be a language on the horizon that’s suitable for game engine development but which is substantially less complex than C++.

Or, if not, is there an effort to rally round a particular subset of C++ instead of everyone defining their own? In your experience, have the C++ subsets used in different companies been very similar, or quite different?
>If you don't care, then just don't open the thread or comment on it

We disagree with your stance, which you seem unable to deal with. That is your problem, we will not go away.
The author of the post does address your Scott Galloway example by stating that that is an obvious weakness that needs correcting.

I think if we're starting with an individual with no obvious weaknesses, perhaps they are just average at many things for example, the ROI is better for things one has a natural aptitude in.

Correcting an obvious weakness would generate a better ROI as per your examples.

Whenever I come across the word "decadence", it's always someone trying to demonize someone else. It's like the word "terrorist". "Decadent" should mean something to do with decay, right? It certainly isn't the same as "permissive" or "hedonistic".

Not OP. The usb will add two boot options to the bios menu and grub installation failed with an error if you choose the wrong one. Everything else will work fine, but the installation will fail right at the end. The installation program will tell you to retry installation when that happens, which is kinda weird, because that suggests that they were encountering non deterministic errors when developing the installation program, and it wouldn't have helped in my case anyways. I would've gotten the exact same error message again.
This article, and discussion here, seem to both assume people pay the list price. In reality, is that the case very often, especially with this kind of drug?

I would not be surprised if they've hiked the list price a ton to game the insurance "what we'll pay" formulas and get more money from insurance companies. As trimbo notes [0], if everyone is paying list price then only 225 people are using this drug consistently. That seems unlikely.
