Notice that no classes come in here, the Rust Plugin trait used in that first page actually exists in the Rust code at compile time, as expected. You get to pull in machine code, by explicitly telling Rust that's what you wanted to do, but you don't get to conjure any types at runtime, because exactly as I said they simply don't exist at runtime.

The Log4j "lookup" behaviour was, first of all, a really dumb design decision even in Java but it's just wrong to pretend that it would be equally easy for it to be so catastrophic in most languages, not just Rust, even in C++ I think you'd probably realise you'd screwed up while developing a way for the log framework to run arbitrary code.
Can you expand on the use case?
Implying they could have earned that money without the existence of government. Government is an essential service.
That is the hint; that is exactly what the backlink means.
> While he did think the Bolsheviks would not achieve communism because of the over-centralization of their rule, he still supported their goals and thought the October revolution was worthwhile despite being bound to fail even if only as an experiment on how to better introduce communism.

Given that it more or less "succeeded" (at least in the sense of holding on to power for a long time), and therefore absolutely didn't lead to better ways to introduce communism, couldn't it be more accurate that he thought the October revolution was worthwhile only because (he thought) it was bound to fail?
Developers perfectly understand the available licenses. And for many they just want to put software out there and don't care how it is used so they put a BSD/MIT license on it.
maybe they're not identical but backblaze has discovered 20 hash collisions that are also valid executables? that would be impressive in a way
Not sure, again, how to respond to this. Why resort rhetorical devices?

I said "courage of people wo have no fear of dying" you said "courage in choosing death", very different.

You have not defined what type of "progress" you refer to, but let me just quote one sentence from one random article on that topic [1] "The relationship between population growth and economic growth is controversial." Care to provide a reference for your "This is pretty much a fact"?

> It would be a choice - live forever or have kids.

Wouldn't this mean that within few generations there would be no more kids, as sooner or later each genealogical line will end with an individual who decides to live forever?

> The slow deaths of billions of people, entire generations, is not an acceptable cost for faster progress.

Acceptable by whom? I understand it is not acceptable to you, and I value your perspective, but why do you write it as if it was some form of consensus.

We have avoided Java internally, but I am mainly worried that our ecosystem of SaaS tools, service providers, even payment processors might be bleeding data breaches and nobody knows yet.

All it takes is one old ETL script on an unmaintained server that logs user-submitted records once a week, and their internal networks will be backdoored by script kiddies at some point soon, not to mention sophisticated actors. The companies that downsized technical teams during the pandemic simply don’t have the bandwidth to audit their entire security surface - #hugops to anyone being asked to do this. It’s a perfect storm. And we’re only seeing the beginning.

But it’s not like I’m going to use our corporate credentials to probe our own service providers to see which APIs are vulnerable - I have no desire to be banned and sued. And we’re too small an account to be able to do anything but make ourselves sound paranoid to our account managers. So I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop. I hope it’s not something that splashes onto our reputation.
Any tips for learning this one?
Please make the effort to understand the difference between frontend and backend.

The nice thing about the decentralised exchanges such as Uniswap or -dydx- is that you do not need their websites/ frontends because their smart contracts/ backend is available on the blockchain. Anybody can make a website that interacts with any smart contracts on the blockchain. There are even aggregator websites (e.g. https://app.defisaver.com/).

Do you know any website that aggregates the services of any TradFi banks and brokers?

Edit: Actually dydx is layer 2 now: https://dydx.exchange/blog/layer-1-wind-down
This looks really cool. Can you deploy it as part of an application to transcode videos or audio files in bulk?
No. The company they used to transfer shares from class b to class a severely screwed up, didn’t get people correct paperwork and then didn’t complete the conversions in time to sell for the normal employees. Executives, of course, got their stock immediately.

FTA:

> On the night of December 7th, after two days of trading, BuzzFeed sent an e-mail to former employees reiterating the need to print and sign the e-mail in order to make the stock conversion. “For context, only yesterday did we learn that holders of Class B shares would have to take additional steps to convert their shares to Class A,” it read. “We wish this information had been provided in Continental’s initial Letters of Transmittal.” (Continental did not respond to a request for comment.)

You could argue that employees should have perhaps taken more of an effort to get stuff together, but even then, if the company claims it didn’t know that information and if the transfer agent didn’t include the information (and by all accounts, hasn’t been reachable by phone or email all week) — not to mention the fact that they gave shareholder the incomplete information on a Friday night, meaning you couldn’t reach a person to get the conversion started before the public offering went live anyway), I’m not going to blame employees here, because even the most diligent shareholder would be screwed.

Again, executives/investors had their shares automatically converted (and I bet that former execs who had a significant amount of shares also got converted in advance, tho I have no proof of that). Some of them have lockup periods, and I understand that legally, you can’t just convert someone's shares automatically. But that doesn’t change the fact that even in the best case scenario, rank and file employees who put in a lot of blood equity into a company got severely screwed because the people hired to do the conversion didn’t do it well enough and their company/former company, didn’t care enough to ensure it was done the right way.
MOND has very little to say about gravity. It claims that f=ma breaks down at sufficiently low values. That, in turn, implies that the rules should still be consistent with these modifications, and that galaxies with apparently different proportions of dark matter (as it's understood) shouldn't exist - all galaxies with similar visible sizes and structures should be essentially identical in gravitational behaviour, and that simply hasn't been demonstrated to be the case.

So I imagine that if you ship an app on Linux you check in the source of every system library and utility it depends on, right? Anything less is little more than a hack to escape the harsh and knowing gaze of your version control system.
Yes, however, it will expand the runtime into C:\temp (or similar). What could go wrong? And then you find yourself in a MS induced yack shave because you want to run two different executables. Microsoft is a never ending source of accidental complexity.

In this particular scenario, my first thought was "shoulda used golang".

I hear tell that since then (1+ yrs ago) matters have improved in the realm of MS standalone apps (well, maybe just cmd line apps).

oh, and the exe is round about 65mb compared to a golang ~5 or 6mb
I had a paid subscription but canceled because of their attitude on this. When dropbox.exe can't sync a file because of some file permission or other access problem, it just consumes huge amounts of CPU trying over and over. There is no notification of a problem. There is no log. There is no place in the interface where you can look to see what file is causing the problem or even that there is a problem. You have to just notice the CPU usage.

When I told the support person that this was a problem, he flat out refused to open a ticket or file a bug report. He denied that this was a problem!

That was a couple of years ago, so maybe they have improved since then, but I'll never find out.
If you're a company buying software from a vendor for network management, security, business operations, etc.. and it goes wrong, yes they are very very liable. It's the whole reason why many companies avoid building anything on unsupported technology in the first place.
What about your restores ;)
After reviewing the video, that seems fairly apt criticism.
This doesn't inhherently have anything to do with inheritance. Delegation is the compositional solution to this problem and some languages do have built in sugar for that.
It usually looks something like:

class F150(@delegate private val underlying: Car) { ... }
class F150(private val underlying: Car) : Car by Underlying { ... }
// etc
Because people can sometimes detect when someone is trying to manipulate them (we're having this discussion after all), and it might backfire?
I agree with your last point. The problem here is the transfer agent didn’t get anyone who wasn’t automatically converted enough notice to even do a transfer before the stock went public. They also didn’t include the paperwork needed to transfer stuff. So even if you did everything right, you would still be screwed because the email that some employees got with incomplete information, didn’t arrive until Friday night, ahead of a Monday morning IPO.
I just turned 19, and I hope. To God that I'm young enough that when this stuff comes to market I won't be so old I can't use it

What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions."

Civilian Deaths Mounted as Secret Unit Pounded Isis
From the Article:

The unit was called Talon Anvil, and it worked in three shifts around the clock between 2014 and 2019, pinpointing targets for the United States’ formidable air power to hit: convoys, car bombs, command centers and squads of enemy fighters.

But people who worked with the strike cell say in the rush to destroy enemies, it circumvented rules imposed to protect noncombatants, and alarmed its partners in the military and the C.I.A. by killing people who had no role in the conflict: farmers trying to harvest, children in the street, families fleeing fighting, and villagers sheltering in buildings.

Talon Anvil was small — at times fewer than 20 people operating from anonymous rooms cluttered with flat screens — but it played an outsize role in the 112,000 bombs and missiles launched against the Islamic State, in part because it embraced a loose interpretation of the military’s rules of engagement.

“They were ruthlessly efficient and good at their jobs,” said one former Air Force intelligence officer who worked on hundreds of classified Talon Anvil missions from 2016 to 2018. “But they also made a lot of bad strikes.”

The military billed the air war against the Islamic State as the most precise and humane in military history, and said strict rules and oversight by top leaders kept civilian deaths to a minimum despite a ferocious pace of bombing. In reality, four current and former military officials say, the majority of strikes were ordered not by top leaders but by relatively low-ranking U.S. Army Delta Force commandos in Talon Anvil.
Many of the first to be sent to the Gulags were also true believers. You should study your history. Marx wasn't the great intellectual you might think and Marxist Communism never ends well for anyone.
When I lived in my parents' home I couldn't smell anything about it. But whenever I go back there it has this distinctly earthy/wooden smell, and I'm sure it's what visitors smell when they visit it for the first time.

I think you could fix pensions without destroying them. Instead of reiterating what most others have said about how it’s a nice benefit and a way to compete with the private sector, I’ll point out that the way pension amounts are calculated (often involving some percent of the average pay for X% of someone’s Y highest earnings years) incentivized fraud and overspending. If you fix that, you could likely see more reasonable pension costs. An easy fix would be to just have OT pay not factor in this calculation and otherwise keep it the same.

It’s pretty common to hear about police officers and firefighters supposedly working >80 hr/week for extended periods. I’m not saying it’s impossible for that to happen naturally, but I think it is greatly incentivized by pension calculations. The OT pay itself being time fraud isn’t a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but the fact the taxpayer has to pay it over and over again over potentially decades really makes it consequential and something we need to disincentivize (note I’m NOT suggesting we even get rid of OT. Just remove it from pension calculations).

Another controversial statement: a lot of public jobs in CA pay a lot of money. I don’t think they necessarily need to have their pay cut but you could probably reduce the pension to like 40-50% of max income. Someone making $120k/yr has plenty of money to make other retirement contributions and still live well off an extra $50k+/yr. Healthy pensions are good to avoid destitution but $100k/yr pernsion is a lot of money…

> with similar visible sizes and structures

This galaxy is very much not in the normal range of "sizes and structures", and is highly dissimilar to almost all other galaxies observed.

the stuff about changing F=ma vs changing Fg is kind of pedantic and immaterial to the topic of simulation, given that the accleration due to gravity is the only thing that is being simulated.
To add onto that, I tried several different hand rolled alternatives to a c++ vtable and the builtin functionality outperformed them all which was surprising. It’s entirely possible I didn’t know what I was doing but I think my point is that vtables are a language feature that compilers know how to reason about and apply optimizations to. Other concepts not so much.
Nice condescending tone you got going

Rachmaninoff heavily influenced Eric Carmen and others:

https://www.cmuse.org/you-cant-believe-how-much-rachmaninoff...

>> As far as derivative works are concerned, the adagio theme (the second movement) appears in the ballad All By Myself (1975) by Eric Carmen, who subsequently explained that Rachmaninoff was “his favourite music.” The following year, he released Never Gonna Fall in Love Again, which, in turn, was based on the third movement from Rachmaninoff’s Symphony n.2.
>>
>> Little did Carmen know, however, that Rachmaninoff’s music, which he quoted extensively, was not in the public domain, as the Rachmaninoff estate informed him after the release of his album. The two parts, however, managed to reach an agreement: the estate would receive 12% of the royalties both from “All by Myself” and “Never Gonna Fall in Love again.”
>No, we do not have to do this. We wouldn't get anything done, if we tried to maintain our full oss stack. Where would you start? In the linux kernel and move your way up to chromium/firefox? Have fun out there.

This boils down to what magnetism is. My favorite explanation is the Kaluza-Klein hypothesis that explains magnetism as an emergent effect of space geometry. If this explanation is accepted, we still need to answer what causes things to move forward and "execute" these maxwell/KK equations. And that's a great mystery.

how many boys have gender dysphoria?:

Over the years, prevalence rates for gender dysphoria in adults have varied considerably. The variation is likely a function of many factors, including definition, time period, and source of ascertainment. For example, in the Standards of Care of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (112), probably relying on an estimate given in the DSM-IV-TR, the prevalence of gender dysphoria in adult males was estimated to be 1 in 30,000. In the meta-analysis by Arcelus et al. (113), the prevalence in adult males was estimated at 1 in 14,705

That is your interpretation of shopping carts in web stores. Other people add things to their cart as they need to replace eg: items in the stationery cupboard, then checkout once a week. Some people use the cart as a form of Wishlist, or a picking list while evaluating similar products.

At the very least if a site doesn’t offer Wishlist, shipping list or other bookmarking facilities I would expect the shipping cart to give me a cookie that lasts at least three days to cover the weekend or the option to create an account to save that shopping list/cart to come back to later.
I've had a number of situations where I've run into trouble on projects because I have tacit knowledge about the domain - but I seem to struggle to make my tacit knowledge consumable by others, which leads to friction.

For example, to launch a new product we need the obvious end-user-visible features - but also sufficient back-office features to be able to quickly fix the inevitable problems that crop up. Things like adjusting a customer's account balance, say to give them a quick credit when something else goes wrong. Basic stuff right?

But management - this has happened to me - will often say something like "why are there going to be problems? Don't you know what you're doing?". And of course I do know what I'm doing, that's why I'm assuming something nobody has thought of is going to go wrong, and I'm trying to create a way to help us mitigate it without taking the lustre off the launch.

The problem as I see it is that management is often seen as a generic function of business with a translatable skill set, but in most cases they don't have the tacit knowledge they need to make good decisions in the domain they're supposedly managing.

Being able to turn this tacit knowledge into something consumable by others would be a huge boon to project management IMO.
