Sadly the effect system isn't granular to narrow down what effect is happening other than "IO", which could be logging, network, disk access, rm -rf /. And without that visibility it doesn't provide you much advantage.

Haskell similarly suffers, I'd like to see IO broken down into composable units of functionality so I can see if e.g. my logging library has some ridiculous network constraint.

Do you mind sharing which book, and how? I view it as you pick up parts of the books you read. Hopefully they makes you smart, more knowledgable, makes you think, view the world a little differently, but the person who puts the book down is still you.

By significant I mean would the people around you see a different person after you read the book.
I want to believe but i sure as shit dont see it. ARM still offers only tiny little straws that it talks to the outside world through.

How many phones can drive a 4k 144Hz monitor? how many have more than a single 5gbit usb3 jack? how many arm laptops have more than two bare basic usb3 host ports? hiw many chios offer a dozen lanes or more of pcie?

i really really think usb4 is excellent, especially with thunderbolt pcie which is not that much more complexity. gazing at my crystal ball i'd expect two more years before we see arm start to show up here, and likely at the flagship level devices only. it's an indicator to me that arm is an unserious competitor. the ecosystem is a couple massive players, who seemingly are in cahoots to keep from pushing each other to advance much. even the archtecture moves at a crawl. a53 was around for almost a decade and a55 was barely a double digit % speed boost- abysmal, arm, abysmal.

i also think arm is hampered by having such a relationship oriented ecosystem. anyone can go out and buy x86 chips and make a computer. companys like chuwi build super interesting low cost boxes that run rings around most arm chips (not apple). innivation is open. by compare, try getting chips from qualcomm or mediatek or any other modern offering, without being an estaished player shipping dozens of millions of units a year. arm is a much more closed ecosystem, now supported by massive massive margins on $800+ devices, with well defined product niches. x86 is a much less entrenched & much more diverse environment, with much higher general expectations (apple's chips somewhat the exception).

at the high end, in servers, i think arm stands a chance. but these will be chips you cant actually buy, built by hyperscalers, or just phenomenally expensive high margin $6000 servers. if you need compute im expecting workstation chips (hdet) to be higher value, but if you also need io, then there may be some modest value proposition ein over x86. for hyperscalers though they will be saving bank.
Ive started writing shared libraries in Rust instead of C++, especially for mobile applications.

Aside from that, I don’t believe Rust is the future. Rust is not the language for prototyping and iterating quickly. I’ve been writing Rust for 1.5 years now, and I still deal with a lot of issues wrestling with the compiler and borrow checker and dealing with lifetimes.

That article comparing Rust to Java - that Rust being simply faster - that somehow making it the future - this is laughable. Not every piece of code is trying to optimize for speed. And a decent chunk of code many people write doesn’t require advanced C++ knowledge. It’s actually faster to learn C++ IMO than Rust for these use cases.

I do enjoy writing Rust. The IDE support has gotten much better. The documentation is “good”. There are really good libraries too.. which is super critical imo.

But saying Rust is the “future” and comparing it to Python or Java is funny.

I tried writing a linked list in Rust and my first thought was “wtf”.
got any more?
Global Times' editor became the voice of Chinese nationalism
Rust certainly is promising but it will not replace all other languages. Is Rust a better choice than C or C++? Probably. Java, Go, or Python? I don’t think so. Rust has flaws:

1. It is hard to learn. A novice will pick up something like Python much faster

2. It is less productive. You “fight” the borrow checker in Rust and have long compilation times.
Who Uses “Advanced Search” on Google?
Today I remembered that Google has a powerful "advanced search" tool, which I think I've only used a couple times years ago. Do people still use this, and what for?

https://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en&fg=1
Web scraping is a legal gray area in many or most jurisdictions. In some jurisdictions, depending on the tos of the web site itself, scraping it might be illegal. In others republishing the scraped information in any form might be illegal. In others still you might not be allowed to use the scraped data for any commercial purpose.

"But what about Google?" Google is worth 100 billion dollars and can play by completely different rules than scraping startups.

On Microsoft Github, in a repository such as https://github.com/nodejs/node press `.` (the full stop key) and it will take you away to github.dev, load Microsoft's VS Code in-browser to view and edit code with VS Code plugins and highlighting.

And from there you can use GitHub Codespace to "develop in a cloud-hosted, customizable environment" to run and debug.
It is already here. Ukraine got Turkish drones, and Russia can only amass large WWII style force in response which are going to be slaughtered by the drones.

Drones are the new paradigm of warfare which allows smaller players to play in many situations (like the modern limited local wars) on par with the big ones without attempting to acquire nuclear. No UN talks can prevent those smaller players from development of such capabilities.
I think this is an underrated point that has been more noticeable with AWS in particular. Their own CentOS spin, their own ElasticSearch distro, their own elastic cloud, etc.
A nice reminder of the difference between talkers and makers
Im wondering if rust has broken out of just being a thing for passionate users yet? Like how is rust working for people who program but aren't programing language obsessed nerds, people who don't "love" languages. I work with c++ at work, 1 or 2 seem to be passionate about rust, but the rest seem ok with c and c++. I guess it seems like there an echo chamber?

Also this article seems to just be pandering and rehashing common thoughts already. Like yeah its safe and no gc. We know this? I guess its weird timing how did this end up in the #1 spot.

Id like to hear more rational, neutral, non-biased thoughts about rust and its use. I know they're out there, Ive heard these kinds of opinions about rust in real life conversations, I dont think they're out their blogging, if they are idk especially critical things are being put out there. Rust users still seem to really evangelize it
I think you're in the "New Yorker, NYT, and The Atlantic are echo chambers" echo chamber.

I don't believe or agree with everything that I read. I also read a fair amount of different opinions in these sources which leads me to believe it's more varied than you would like to believe.

It's interesting because I've always considered myself center/center right politically.
Quite an achievement to write an entire article about why Rust is the future without ever mentioning one of the main advantages of the type system which is data race freedom.
Speaking of big.little, you've got to acknowledge that Intel's doing this right now in their i9 Alder Lake x86_64 CPUs (8 performance cores + 8 efficiency cores). So I think this isn't going to be exclusively an ARM problem...

"it is believed that it also finds its usage for 3D video games."

There is not a single popular game that shipped any Rust code. Actually I would extend that to "any" game.
I consider myself to have an internet addiction, and it has definitely cut down on my previously extensive book-reading, and I don't like it.

Wait, what happened to the author that led to this obligation to not use computers for several months?
+1. Why the heck are we upvoting and discussing the most generic content marketing fluff? It’s not like there aren’t well-written thoughtful pieces discussing Rust.
They're required to keep minutes from face to face meetings for compliance. Of course people still talk informally but they need to know to constraint what they talk about in those circumstances. This likely was triggered because some employees were using whatsapp to evade compliance checks on topics that should have been regulated.

I disagree with your "the only", uBO also supports deny-allow for script blocking.[1]

Beside, `google-analytics.com` is wholly blocked by default in uBO -- i.e. without having to fiddle with the default, out-of-the-box configuration -- and the blocked GA scripts are replaced with neutered ones in order to reduce likelihood of site breakage.

In addition to the other replies, the comparatively long startup time makes it unsuitable for short scripts, and with a few dependencies it becomes unsuitable for even medium length programs. The startup time is always coming down and there are ways to compile dependencies ahead of time though. The JIT compilation can be annoying for real-time applications too.
Best to read the smalltalk as always embedded in an invisible framework that looks like this:

This made me literally laugh out loud.
If you think generics are going to solve the problem with expressiveness in Go you are sadly mistaken. How do you declare a type that is either type A or type B? Something as basic as that is impossible in Go.
I used to mark assignments for a 4th year concurrency programming course taught in Rust. There were definitely a lot of buggy programs written in Rust like deadlocks, starvation, etc.
Has Firefox stopped using Google Analytics for themselves (IIRC they used it to monitor how people where using the “preference” section of Firefox, which caused quite a bit of outrage when it was known)?
Scheduled Exports from Google Sheets to Shopify
This is great although some of the add-ons they suggest are either redundant or no longer supported like uMatrix. Since it's also now an option in Firefox settings you no longer need HTTPS Everywhere and Privacy Badger is useless if you have Ublock Origin. Also if you use Resist Fingerprinting, Canvas Blocker will just mess with your ability to blend in the crowd, effectively making your browser more unique than it should be.
Could you expand on this a bit? What did you like about the switch and what not?

Just in case: I didn't want to imply there are no use cases which overlap, only that in general the use cases for both languages are very different.
And I'm sure you'd also complain when it's "Youtube wants $15 more a month to carry my MLB channels(/ESPN/ABC/whatever)!" like they might end up doing now?
They're right that Rust is expression-oriented and Python is statement-oriented, and that expression-oriented languages allow for composing certain things more easily. I don't think it's a big deal, but it is correct.

I think the second point about classes/object orientation is... odd. I think they might not understand traits? Which is a pretty big thing to miss out on in a comparison like this.

The point about tests is probably to do with Rust having static checks (type-checking, borrow-checking, etc.) versus Python not having these. And although you can do some static checks in Python with external tools like mypy, the type system is less expressive and easier to coerce than Rust's, so I do think you'll end up with more tests out of necessity.
Nope. Or sure I will wear one if I have the sniffles, or other signs of a cold or flu. Though most likely I’ll just stay home because I’m sick and I don’t want to go anywhere.

Mask mandates are unnecessary. It is a bunch of elitists in urban areas trying to be big brother.

If a store owner is worried about it, they can mandate for their store.

People don’t care, and you can try to guilt them into caring with crap like this, but you will fail to do anything but look like an elitist donkey.
I browse directly to the accounts of the few people I still want to follow, and refuse to log in or use the general feed. There’s a nagging pop-up demanding that you log in if you try to click away into a retweeted thread these days, so that helps keep me from getting sucked into the rabbit hole. Maybe that can help for you.
>>> Python, the cool-kid of the day was ruled out. Both for personal reasons (I think the space-sentsive nature of Python is dumb), and for practical reasons (dependencies in python is a mess).

You can use pyinstaller or Nutika for python. I've used pyinstaller but I'm not sure of the cross platform part of pyinstaller. I have not tried Nutika out (hopefully soon). Pyinstaller creates a binary with the python executable in it. Nutika compiles to native binary code. Either way you have a single file to deploy and run.
Rust makes it way to hard to do anything practical with async, i find it hard to believe it would compete with those languages. If youre already in a situtation where you can already make do with gc whats there to gain by getting rid of it?
I think the C code in the benchmarks are not really efficient. An experienced C programmer does not simulate C++ style memory management if speed matters.
In many ways it was a trailblazer for npm and the modern javascript 'ecosystem'
Most of these patterns appear everywhere, that's the point, to exacerbate the bad patterns within already existing structures and to do so with plausible deniablility in order to cause them to lose momentum

Even though I can see the value in what you’re saying and agree completely, I can’t help but feel like my attention span has been ruined by my casual internet usage.

People with hearing aids paired to their phones often have bluetooth happening all day every day. I wear hearing aids, but don't use that feature often enough to know personally. I prefer talking on the phone the normal way so I don't look like I'm crazily talking to myself.

I haven't heard of anyone having problems with Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids. And surely the ENT docs would know first hand as a result of working with their patients, and dissuade use of the feature if it was problematic.
I'm an ex-Christian (long story) and I really do like that verse. I live in a third-world country but perform freelance work for foreign firms, so I effectively earn months of some people's salary here in barely two weeks of easy work. I have a lot of leisure time but I hate it because I feel useless during most of it, so maybe the curse of having to work is really "for thy sake".

Many people I know dream of having to never work again, but I can't just picture myself that way.

“ I am old enough to remember the good old days when holiday-advice pieces were all variations on “How to Talk to Your Tea Party Uncle About Obamacare.” As Christmas approaches, we can look forward to more of this sort of thing, with the meta-ethical speculation advanced to an impossibly baroque stage of development. Is it okay for our 2-year-old son to hug Grandma at a Christmas party if she received her booster only a few days ago? Should the toddler wear a mask except when he is slopping mashed potatoes all over his booster seat? Our oldest finally attended her first (masked) sleepover with other fully vaccinated 10-year-olds, but one of them had a sibling test positive at day care. Should she stay home or wear a face shield? What about Omicron?

I don’t know how to put this in a way that will not make me sound flippant: No one cares. Literally speaking, I know that isn’t true, because if it were, the articles wouldn’t be commissioned. But outside the world inhabited by the professional and managerial classes in a handful of major metropolitan areas, many, if not most, Americans are leading their lives as if COVID is over, and they have been for a long while.”

I’ve decided to make that word which cannot be named, like Voldemort.

I’m done talking about the thing to help prevent it, the thing itself, and the thing that purportedly helps the thing from spreading but behaves more like a sign of which team you’re on.

- N.N. Taleb "Black Swan", as great intro to his thought system which may well be called the "mediterranean soul".

Later books by him can be safely ignored, more worth in his Medium articles, especially the one on work and employment.

Of course the ecosystem is toxic. Java is literally the only ecosystem in the world where people regularly run into classloader issues because of conflicting logging libraries. And when it happens, that is a smash the fucking computer moment for the momentous stupidity that lead to it.

Yes, it's free. No, the vast majority of users never actively opted into it. No, it's not disrespectful to suggest that a log library that interpolates parameters was never fit for purpose.

He didn’t deny this - my other favorite quote from the article

“I don’t mean to deny COVID’s continuing presence. (For the purposes of this piece, I looked up the COVID data for my county and found that the seven-day average for positive tests is as high as it has ever been, and that 136 deaths have been attributed to the virus since June 2020.) What I wish to convey is that the virus simply does not factor into my calculations or those of my neighbors, who have been forgoing masks, tests (unless work imposes them, in which case they are shrugged off as the usual BS from human resources), and other tangible markers of COVID-19’s existence for months—perhaps even longer.“
In the US one would consider escalating to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, since this seems like lying (the price before the button press is different from the price after).

Not sure if the UK has a similar ministry you could appeal to? Though one would consider the risk of being banned from Uber Eats over $4.
Seems a stretch. It may be a terms of service violation, but when it becomes the same crime as physical assault we’ve entered the Matrix.

Face it, a lot of what happens in the virtual world already would be called “murder” in the real world, but like Westworld it’s the point of play in the first place.

I have not detected that anyone has a legal right to feel safe and secure. If they did, bullying would be a different discussion. Certain types of threats can be actionable, and in-game communication is absolutely real communication. But there is no physical action, no actual violation of a person’s body, so no actual assault.

that's a feature and not a bug because a regulatory agency without leeway and too strict formal requirements in reality has no ability to deal with actors who know how to maneuver around them and is toothless.

That market participants don't know how far an agency can go is equivalent to Israel's nuclear policy, little bit of ambiguity and uncertainty has a deterrent effect. And if anything given how routinely market participants still abuse every little trick they can regulators aren't scary scary enough.

And no offense but you've got "fintech, commodities and digital assets" in your bio, are you by any chance making money off some underregulated crypto scheme and have been at the receiving end of regulatory action?

If your choice of language is restricted to what you can learn to use in a couple of hours your options will be limited and sub optimal. So yes, if you don't know Rust and you only have 2 hours to learn the tool you need for the job Rust is a bad choice.

However if you are planning to program as a career and building software is your trade, Rust is an excellent choice. Rust helps you build programs that are correct. Go lets people that expect languages should be able to be learned in an afternoon program.

We have entered it around 15 years ago, when the majority of custom embedded architectures started to be replaced with ARM cores (around the ARM7 timeframe) and when ARM application processores (ARM9, Cortex A) first showed up.

The current transition is more about some more PCs and servers also considering to use ARM.

I don't think x86 is dead. As long as x86 CPU manufacturers can keep up on pricing, performance and power consumption it will stay alive. And there's a lot more to that race than just the instruction set. Intel had a lot of weak years, but AMD showed that x86 doesn't have to stagnate.
