Non-GC languages are bad in general at handling cyclical references (mutable or not), and Rust is especially ill suited for it because of the borrow checker. For example should an arbitrary reference in tsc become an rc::Rc or an rc::Weak? You have to tease out the implicit ownership model and one may not even exist.

tsc was designed expecting GC and it makes perfect sense to port it to another fast GC language.
Google is effectively forced to keep paying Mozilla, since stopping in an unplanned manner would surely collapse Firefox as a competitive browser, leaving only Chrome(ium) on Windows desktops.
Well, they also have the wrong mentality on virtually everything else that Google does. They've shut down many more half-baked projects, far more than their successes. Google at least to me was/is solely successful at search, and ads. Even those are quickly turning to junk and the bane of the entire internet. Google should be busted up, sooner than later. But that's just me!

Not your responsibility I know but given that Google can't seem to be able to notify everyone who is impacted by their GSuite changes I do worry about the path they seem to be going down. To me it seems that very simple things are falling by the wayside more and more these days which doesn't bode well for the future.
If you are concerned about security in one of your imported dependencies (or in user code) you can run that code in a sandboxed worker (See: https://deno.land/manual@v1.18.0/runtime/workers#specifying-...). Beyond this it is still very useful to limit your runtime for software to only access specific directories, network addresses, etc. So the sandbox/security is definitely not useless.
Maybe the judge was incensed, but just not enough to risk killing 3rd parties as a "fuck you" to thedacare. Keep in mind that that at this stage, there is no evidence or fact finding. Either of these parties could be lying their face off in court. This will only be determined after years of lawsuit. Part of the judge's job when it comes to an injunction is to predict the future of a case that hasn't happened, and weigh it against the chance of irreparable harm and death today.

Am I taking crazy pills? Everyone here is saying "Yeah, but how long should we ask them to produce updates? Let's not be unreasonable."

People, the mobile hardware ecosystem is fundamentally broken. On my desktop PC, I can keep upgrading Windows versions until the hardware craps out. I can move to Linux if Windows doesn't run well or has some functionality that's not compatible with my machine. There's an already existing model, but we don't apply it to mobile and we suffer through these locked-down ecosystems where Qualcomm and other hardware providers have the final say in when your hardware becomes unsupportable.

The answer to the question of "how long should we expect Google to provide updates for a device?" is to reject the question and say "why can't Google just release the software that I then install on my device?"

If the answer to that question is "well, because the devices are locked down and a software company can't actually make platform-agnostic software in this environment," that's a problem.

What you meant to say is that natural immunity varies between individuals. Of course, the same is true with vaccine immunity. The CDC's propaganda campaign to convince people otherwise has about zero science backing it. What is also true is that just about every study published concludes the same thing: natural immunity works better than vaccine immunity alone in fighting off COVID re-infection.

I find the last line comical that it's considered a win-win to have 99.9% of the movie shown unedited but with an ending that undermines the whole plot of the movie. The creators and studio executives are fine with it.

On the other hand, if Mormons what to purchase a copy of a movie for private display in their own home, purchase a device that selectively censors part of the movie they consider objectionable, the creators and executives send an army of lawyers to shut it down. Their reasons, having an automated process to mute or skip scenes on your own device, corrupts the creative vision and they will not allow it to be corrupted.
It's not an ideal solution, but when I have to get a new phone the old one becomes my tv remote. I'm not too worried about security updates on a device that just has netflix and kodi on it.

In my experience, if the thing I’m working on runs in Safari, it’s buttery smooth. And if it doesn’t run, it completely shits the bed. Stuff like “we don’t support that way of doing shadows in SVG, so rather than simply not implement that property, we’ve turned your entire SVG element black”.

Personally I wouldn't fret about keeping pace with upstream. Eventually the syntax will stabilize if it hasn't already. I'd be more worried about fidelity--does this produce the same result as the reference implementation? TFA says he's running against the "conformance" test suite, so that should keep things pretty tight and when bugs are found they'll be fixed in time and presumably the test suite will be updated accordingly.
TV ads were for mass market consumer products, primarily, with some secondary high ticket items such as retail lawyers and non-commercial mass market interest like politics.

I am an older software engineer and have noted that a lot of introverted engineers love to work in their own silos. Some of the smartest engineers are introverted and do not want to be bothered; worse yet, because of pride they often do not "suffer fools" well and avoid working with others. Working with a group of smart and humble engineers that are constantly "borrowing each other's" brain is very effective and enjoyable experience. And everyone has a good sense of what everyone else is working on -- sunk cost is more frequently avoided.

>When I say I'm anti-work, I mean exactly that: People should not have to work to live. What you hear is: "Nobody should ever do any work." That's not what anyone is saying.

Sorry but this has to be the dumbest most elitist sheltered things I've heard.

You ARE free to do what you want. What you are not free to do is demand that others support you in this endeavor.

That's a great book. Keep in mind that the computer in "The soul of a new machine" (Data General Eclipse MV/8000) was a minicomputer, not a mainframe, and in 1980, not 1964. So there are a lot of differences as well as similarities. (I'm not trying to be pedantic, but just want to make sure you don't get the wrong impression of the Eclipse.)
Well... How many paid work hours spent on tsc? Then does TypeScript have a formal language specification? I'm pessimistic it's possible to rewrite tsc with full compat (bug-to-bug, otherwise it doesn't really make much sense) without MS support... but who knows... I'd like fast compiles too, so good luck!
Yes, MIT’s university culture does genuinely encourage a collaborative project-based approach. However, some grads will believe that the business world expects them to be as brilliant as Tony Stark and able to “carry a message to garcia”[1]. If a course-VI grad wearing brass rat thinks a request for help/feedback will be rebuffed as impostor syndrome (it happens), they can make the same mistake. Ego is the enemy. The blog post’s advice still applies.

> I lived in Germany for years, the former east, and it would be unfair to call Germany a "shithole" based on my own experience in the former Soviet bloc, which has struggled both pre and post reunification due to Communist rule.

Come on, dude. Germany was "communist" for less than 40 years. You have been "free" and cool for 33 and counting. The wall existed for only 28. Are you going to keep blaming "communists" for the next 400 years? :D

tsc is a large JavaScript program run at the command line, which is a pathological case for a JIT-compiled language: by the time the hot spots get native code generated, tsc may be close to finished already. Porting it to any ahead-of-time compiled language, without significant changes to the structure of the code, is likely to be a big performance win.
> Let's say I want to interactively plot some complicated function without slowing down the rest. Can I do this in WebAssembly now?

You've been able to do that for a while now and it would likely be fast enough even in pure JavaScript. The things which tend to slow the web down come back to developers not caring about performance (and thus not even measuring) or the cross-purposes of things like ad sales where a significant amount of JavaScript is deployed to do things the user doesn't care about.

From https://eurasiantimes.com/china-moves-at-blistering-speed-in...:

> The Aerodynamics Research Institute under the state-run Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) has announced the development of the new wind tunnel.

> According to a press statement issued by the institute, the new wind tunnel will be used to test the “separation and release” of weapons from hypersonic vehicles. A hypersonic glide vehicle is a maneuverable warhead that sits on the tip of a long-range missile and glides to its target on an unpredictable course, making it difficult to intercept once unleashed.

I am no military expert, but I am not convinced AVIC isn’t related the hypersonic glide vehicle for hypersonic missiles such as DF-17.

By "natural immunity", you mean, "getting infected"?
The batteries are "replaceable"; your own comment acknowledges that. What you mean is batteries the user can easily replace, which means you have to make compromises in the design of the phone and its structural integrity.

The market has chosen against that. What you're talking about is forcing people to accept your personal preference, by law, because your design preference didn't win in the market.

Personally, I oppose that.
Obviously YMMV, but last year there was exactly one OEM merging kernel LTS (Sony). While many (dare I say most?) Custom ROMs do.

Yes, also I think it caught on because it sounds like people are standing up to bosses and corporations and escaping the rat race. Good for them! Good for the resigners!

Yeah, though I've found with Pixel software, it's still a bit annoying because Contact/Calendar apps will always show your Google account first, then keep prompting you to turn sync back on if you turn it off, etc. Flash your own ROM and you get a perfect experience there, but you get a whole new set of problems. These tradeoffs are a lot of why I moved to an iPhone this month for the first time since the 4S. Say what you will, but iOS integrates with Fastmail like it was built for it.

I'm really surprised at the lack of support for recent pixel models... especially considering how terrible the pixel 6 release has been.

For the first week I couldn't get it to charge because they didn't include a power brick and my existing power bricks, my PC's USB ports, etc. would charge slower than the battery discharged by sitting idle talking to 5G towers. Like literally plugged in with screen off it would drain the battery.

Then the second week there were 2 days where my phone calls would fail to complete on my end but continue to ring on the other end. Really annoyingly frustrating failure mode.

To top it all off, they removed the toggle for turning off the cell modem.. You have to open up a menu every time you want to change internet types.

I've loved the pixel 2 so much it lasted until now... but google seems to be turning into the bloated carrier they tried to displace by launching fi.

I mean the whole world worked that way back then. Kings trained kings and cobblers trained cobblers. In fact there were many father-son scientists duos.

Yeah, it's important but not some grand law one should obey. I think every technical person has a time in their early life where they come across something that was genuinely wrong or illogical or just bad (in some cut and dry way). That imprints on them and from then on it is burned into our minds when we see something that seems off to immediately think "that is stupid". That is always my first (perhaps subconscious at times) thought I know and suspect it's fairly endemic.

All I take this nice parable to mean is that maybe you make your second, less instinctive thought be "why is that here?". That's it. Consider it then carry on. No law mandating a thorough investigation. No restriction on change without complete understanding. No need for deterministic certainty. Just a simple consideration that you should entertain. Or perhaps more accurately, a consideration you shouldn't disregard.
Well, let's count how many people the USA killed with 2 wars in Irak, one in Afghanistan, one in Vietnam and countless operations in South America. Or how they mostly put non white people in a privatized prison system that then exploit them. Or how their police is so peaceful and close to the population the entire country had a debate about de-funding it.

Sure, China is worse, but it does make a useful mirror. Like Russia was a useful one during the cold war.
No one is arguing that collision resistance and proof-of-work are the same things? The security of a PoW relies on collision resistance. Do you see the difference? It's subtle. Changing a block in the blockchain explicitly requires exploiting the collision-resistance property of a cryptographic hash. Why? BECAUSE YOU NEED TO PRODUCE VALID PROOFS OF WORK FROM INVALID TRANSACTIONS.

It's dubious for Canada to claim worldwide jurisdiction over pictures of Canadians. These two requests, that Clearview "cease collecting, using and disclosing images and biometric facial arrays collected from individuals in Canada" and "delete images and biometric facial arrays collected from individuals in Canada" sound like overreach.

Certainly, they can prevent Clearview from doing business inside Canada. Maybe even from accessing Canadian servers (though that would be tricky to implement and enforce). But from using images posted by Canadians to international platforms? Doubtful.

The thing is, when most of your money is in illiquid assets (stock, in this case, or houses, etc.) you can reliably get an extremely low interest rate loan against those assets. What does that mean? Let's say you have 10B equity in a company, and you want to buy a used 747 Jumbo Jet--a steal, at $500,000. You only have about $100k liquid cash on you at the moment. No problem! Go to a banker, take an extremely inexpensive loan out against your 10B (think less than 1% interest), and buy your jet. Because it's not income, it's not taxed. But yes, these people do actually have access to that much purchasing power, it's not just abstract numbers.
