The problem is that Rc<> is not replacement for GC, in GC language you just don't care about having multiple mutable references at all because it's mem-safe (so you don't need to panic). The only thing you can get is concurrency issue but that's often fine for isolated algorithms (where you do mutex at the top and don't care from there or you just send the whole thing to the worker using channel). Rust is placing restrictions on your code not because it's bad code but because it cannot prove it's safe. Yeah so you can mark it as unsafe but you can also switch to a different language and have a happy rest of life.
Oh I do love a Bézier Curve post, the math and geometry behind them is just so beautiful.

In contrast, the CDC estimates COVID has a 0.146% chance to give you myocarditis.
> In most cases, they even delay payment for a few months to account for returns and the cost of returning unsold products.

You may be conflating payment terms of trade with sales/revenue recognition.

In general for consumer goods (unless it's a consignment model), revenue is recognized by the manufacturer the day products are billed and shipped to the retailer. In other words Store inventory is usually on the retailers balance sheet.

The retailer may actually pay the manufacturer 30/60/90 days later (I've never heard of 6 months but it's possible) and that's subject to negotiation. But that's cash/working capital management, not P&L.

Many times, yes. "MSRP" stands for "Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price".

Now, not all products come with MSRPs, and unless there is a contract between producer and retailer on a pricing floor, the retailer is free to set the price of a product as high or low as they want.

But, there is a key difference here. Let's use your supermarket as our example. A supermarket sells both Rao's Pasta sauce (7.99) and MarketBrand Pasta Sauce (2.99). The difference is that the store has paid Rao's 2 dollars to purchase their sauce which they then mark up to 7.99, and had their store band produced for them at a purchase price of 1.25. Both manufacturers have been compensated for their products.

Instead, what Amazon does is take a shipment from Rao's with the promise that they will be compensated 2 dollars for each bottle that is sold (which requires Raos to tie up inventory/money) and then undercuts their price with a product that they produce themselves and list on their page much more prominently, after using Rao's product previously to demonstrate market demand for that type of good in their store.

I am currently at one of the FAANGs for almost 5 years, and even got promoted from mid level to senior in that time - I did not ever do any leetcode grinding, nor was it a major focus during my onsite with the team I joined. I also do not ask questions to candidates that require any leetcode grinding (or last minute interview preparation IMO), candidates who focus on being good at their job as a software engineer from a technical & non-technical standpoint have all told me our sessions feel very low stress. The engineering managers I work with also generally do not believe in leetcode style questions either, there is a pervasive belief in my org they are bad filters from what I can tell.

I do happen to be comfortable enough with leetcode style questions, but only because I have failed enough interviews in the past doing them (I seem to do well enough to do onsites at other FAANGs at least, even before joining my current one). I figure it's something I rather optimize for on failure than before the interview.

A bit nit-picky, but while all authoritative documents (like the catechism) unequivocally condemns abortion, there is no shortage of Catholic scholars who are pro-abortion. Just like the Pontifical Commission on Birth Control. The scholars gave it the green light, but not even having “Pontifical” in the name made it remotely authoritative.

I think the core thing is that if you have a bug in the declarative code, it usually affects everything and can be fixed in the execution engine, or you didn't actually declare what you wanted but something else.

By contrast, bugs in imperative code can manifest simply because you happened to write it in such a way that relied on some assumption that no longer holds and your imperative code does something it should not do because its preconditions are invalid.

Declarative approaches are generally more robust because they by necessity tend to be designed to handle more diverse initial states and still reach the correct result.

Something that continually just blows my mind is how new spinning wheels are.

It runs through the various technological innovations (think cotton gin, but plenty more), culture, and economics. The Fabric of Civilization by Virginia Postrel. Great quote about Viking sail ships:

"Viking Age sail 100 meters square took 154 kilometers (60 miles) of yarn. Working eight hours a day with a heavy spindle whorl to produce relatively coarse yarn, a spinner would toil 385 days to make enough for the sail. Plucking the sheep and preparing the wool for spinning required another 600 days. From start to finish, Viking sails took longer to make than the ships they powered."

I'm a software developer, not a medical professional, so my opinion doesn't really matter for your situation. What I will say is that it took three seconds to google "covid vaccine multiple sclerosis" and I came to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's COVID-19 page which says, "People with MS should be vaccinated against COVID-19...None of the available vaccines contain live virus and the vaccines will not cause COVID-19. The vaccines are not likely to trigger an MS relapse or have any impact on long-term disease progression. The risk of getting COVID-19 far outweighs any risk of having an MS relapse from the vaccine."

Without looking into the specs, at the very least, you'd need to modify the LTO drive firmware. The drive itself isn't designed to operate without the servo tracks. Those are written to newly-manufactured tapes with special equipment at the factory.

So, it would take a very dedicated nerd indeed.

No reasonable person is suggesting that we need to eschew historical context and nuance to redefine statements like these. At the same time, we should acknowledge that language isn’t immutable - as 1400 years of English language momentum can attest - and there’s nothing inherently wrong about its generational evolution.
Tape can do random seeks, but its generally append only. LTO, though supports partitioning which is utilized by LTFS (https://www.lto.org/linear-tape-file-system/) to provide a mountable filesystem abstraction. It works just like any other filesystem, but one has to remember that seeks are much slower than HDs and that overwriting/updating a file basically is like a versioned FS where the old data is still being stored.

Edit: Also, tape formats tend to come in two scan methods since they are generally wider than the tape heads (which frequently are actually multiple heads). Helical scan (think VHS/DAT) and serpentine. LTO is serpentine which means it writes a track from beginning to end, then writes the next track in "reverse" from end to beginning, then the next track again from beginning to end. Back and forth until it hits its track limit.

So basically just about every modern drive reads and writes in both forward and reverse.

Although shoe shining (backing up to start the next read/write) is still a thing despite variable speed drives which try to speed match to the data rate the host is reading/writing at.
