Note that it would actually be (also changing to an array to make your abbreviation of the author's example make more sense):

`if arr?.contains("a") == true { ... }`

or

`if arr?.contains("a") ?? false { ... }`

or

`if (arr ?? []).contains("a") { ... }`

or

`if let arr= arr, arr.contains("a") { ... }`

or

`if arr!= nil, arr!.contains("a") { ... }`

Optional<Bool> will not automatically unwrap where Bool is expected (since the compiler would have to assume nil is falsey, which is the kind of mushy shenanigans Swift explicitly denies).
...and yet taxation does not reflect environmental at all.

In some countries cow milk is even subsidized.

Edit: cow milk is actually less healthy than alternatives and there is no reason to encourage it.
You can use cargo vendor to import specific versions of your dependencies into your project for easy auditing, or cargo fetch to simply be more explicit about when to download from remote repositories (when combined with the --offline flag). The typical Rust "dependency" is small; it's more like a single .c or .cxx file than a conventional "library", except that it also plays nice with generic code unlike these languages.
It costs more.
Nit: you shouldn’t use RISC as a shorthand for RISC-V. The former is a well-known term.

Yes, RISC-V is an open ISA, yes, like ARM there is no fab making canonical RISC-V chips. It does at least have the benefit of having support in the UEFI spec pretty much right out of the gate, which offers a standard boot path of sorts (Arm64 also supports UEFI, but most devices to this day have their own bespoke boot firmware and protocols, AFAIK. The unifying factor tends to be something like uboot, again, AFAIK.) but it also has more flexibility, which has the knock-on effect that it may be harder to know which RISC-V software can run on which RISC-V hardware.

I’m very curious to see where it goes. As a tinkerer I definitely have been looking for entire desktop computers that, weak or not, are truly open source and documented from the ground up. RISC-V platforms don’t solve that entirely (in fact it’s probably the remainder of SoC IP that poses the biggest problems) but it does offer an interesting option for a CPU.
The milk alternatives that can achieve the same foaminess can cost 2x the price of regular milk, so I guess it makes sense
> There are various reasons for this, television being a prominent example.

I tend to agree with the Putnam thesis, but I don't think you can lay this all on television. Until the 80s there were really only 3 viable TV/radio networks (CBS, NBC and later, ABC). If you watched the nightly news on any of those networks you got pretty much the same vision of reality. There was more variation in newspapers, but people watched a lot of TV in that era and for the most part they shared a cohesive vision.
The search filter for Seller: Amazon.com still exists. Free shipping by Amazon filter also still exists.

I think the seller filter is hidden though if no other filter option has been selected first.
There’s a chance they just needed to raise the price. I wonder how people land on something like $4. At that price your demand for something like this is not price sensitive. $5 and you have 20% growth, $8 and you’ve doubled. To the users it’s just a few bucks.
Perhaps I was not precise about my comment on the nutrition information. It seems, under "nutrition facts" the text "x servings in this recipe" does not changed if you scale the recipe. You are right of cause that the size of a serving should not change, but the number of servings should. Same for "Nutrition by Ingredient": It stays static as well.

E.g. take pizza dough: Default is 10 servings and the base recipe calls for "2 ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast" -> nutrition facts shows: "2.25 teaspoon Active dry yeast - 2.25 teaspoon Leavening agents, yeast, baker's, active dry | 3 calories per serving".
Now multiply the recipe, say for 40 servings. Recipe now calls for "9 teaspoon active dry yeast" (as expected). But nutrition by ingredient still shows: "2.25 teaspoon Active dry yeast - 2.25 teaspoon Leavening agents, yeast, baker's, active dry | 3 calories per serving" (not wrong, but kind of misleading). And "Nutrition Facts" still mentions "10 servings in recipe" instead of 40.
HTH
I calculated an extra 90 minutes per day that’s required to work in an office. Once in an office there are a number of distractions that prevent deep work. Tasks are perfectly doable so long as they don’t require much focus or creativity.
Because it costs them more.

The fact that it's more ecological to produce doesn't translate to lower prices for many reasons.
Hopefully not many but this is pure evil on DJI's part.

If you had read the article, you would have learned that the state can't do that, and why they can't. That's what the entire article is about.
What conservatives want (and can't say) is to prevent schools from telling young children that families without two opposite-sex parents are normal, when their parents disagree with that. That's fundamentally a value-judgment that doesn't have a black-and-white answer, but if it's interfering with math class, they have a point.
Not really super surprising— the volumes are way lower and there's less subsidizing going on. On a grocery store shelf here in Ontario, you can get 4L of 2% regular milk for $5. But the Earth's Own products, which include oat and soy milk? Those are more like $6 for a single litre.
There's still a rather significant cost difference between the two. In my local market, a one gallon container of whole milk is $3.89 retail, while the barista-blend of Califa Oat Milk is $4.39 for a one quart container (or $4.99 for a half gal of Oatly).
Same here. Or more likely I just buy digital FLAC downloads
I've written lots of python. Biggest codebase had ~100Ksloc of it.

I currently have a ~80Ksloc codebase in Go.

I like python. I dislike go.

I still hold the position that scaling a codebase is easier in go than in python.

* Goroutines + channels are generally easier for someone besides the author to reason about than their python equivalents, leading to a more consistency and better boundary definition.

* Python has a lot of magic in it - and that stuff is really cool, powerful and fun - but.. it also makes it incredibly easy to write stuff that works well together until it breaks in some wierd corner of a seemingly unrelated object somewhere.

* As python codebases grow, duck-typing becomes much less pleasant - you start seeing a bunch of `if isinstance(...)` in the code and eventually someone will come along and start implementing parts of a type system on top of the python code that exists (see also the previous point).

Those are the primary reasons for me, but there's also just a certain lack of friction in the go codebase (compared to python anyway) that I can't really describe well.
> later historians either accidentally or maliciously made so-called “phantom copies” of events and rulers, repeating them over and over again under different names. For example, he believes that the Peloponnesian Wars is just an earlier replication of the conflict between the Navarrese Company and the Duchies of Athens and Neopatras in the 14th century. All of our traditional history consists of mistakes such as this: the same events repeated multiple times under different names.

I think there's a deeper metaphysical concept at play here.
I think of it like echos (or "rhymes of history"); but it's also quite easy to grasp what it's being refered to by considering "fractals" from a rougher (layman) perspective.

There are events that seem to reverberate throurough reality. Some "louder" events reverberate more, other more localized events do not get echoed (or similarly repeated as much). and many localized events are themselves echos of older "louder" past events (? or maybe just events with a historical vantage point)

But this is not science, it's not even admissible in modern philosophy. it's at worse pseudo-something. at best a fictional artistic expression.
>responding to Apple's complaints

I really wish people would utilize the web more rather than heading for the app ecosystems. From the article it's not clear if this is possible due to some particular tech choices they have made but in general it can reduce overhead quite a lot.

If you have a few hundred subscribers and you can do with one engineer less that can make a huge financial difference.

I've heard a similar story about rural Indians and private schools. I don't have a source, but I've read that most poor rural Indians send their children to private schools and its incredibly cheap, because the public schools are a disaster (e.g. teachers don't show up half the time).

It's funny how we think of things as a luxury in the developed world, but in places that don't have a well functioning public sector, you can't afford to not but a private service that's normally provided by the state.
Who cares what people feel like is happening? Just look at the data you care about.

For example, I think it’s interesting that many major cultures are dying because they have below replacement rate demographics.

The trend looks like a slow-moving Black Plague, except at the end of the rollercoaster you are left with old people instead of a bunch of young people (that survived the sickness).

This is certainly a new experiment by humanity that hasn’t happened before quite like this, so we are in for interesting times :)

The spec is free, and a lot of cores are free as well. Here's the HDL for AliBaba's cores they've been developing this against: https://github.com/T-head-Semi/openc910

There are also non-free RISC-V cores, but they essentially have to continuously make the argument for their existence against the free cores that are available (support, verification resources, just being better designs in the short term, already being hardened for proprietary process nodes, etc.)
This is funny to me because as someone who has gone through some of his differential geometry & topology books, they're actually quite good. Another example of being excellent in one area yet lacking in others (perhaps overconfidence/ego too stemming from being excellent in one area?). I guess the type of nationalism he grew up under in the USSR also didn't help, I know a few other people who have very strange views on history and conspiracies relating to it.
> In some countries cow milk is even subsidized

Because poor people consume it. Dairy products are also a replacement for meat if you're poor enough.
You might try it anyway. Sounds like it'd be fun. ;-)
Questions that come to mind:

1. What percentage of land use for dairy cows is arable?

2. What percentage of water consumed by dairy cows is recycled (eg from rain water), how does that compare to something like almonds?

3. What percentage of greenhouse gas emissions are added to the environment over already existing in the environment and just being moved?
I didn't get that desire for purity that you gleaned from it.

The fact is that (as the author pointed out) Golang is missing basic language features that other languages have adopted since the creation of C that eliminate whole classes of errors, and it's pretty easy to accidentally do the wrong thing as a result.

Nil pointer exceptions, for example, don't have to exist anymore.. and yet they do in Go because they couldn't be bothered to add sum types. Its type system is barely a step above a dynamic language. You have to write the same imperative looping code over and over because Rob Pike would rather just use a for loop than something mildly expressive like map or filter (https://github.com/robpike/filter). Every function that does meaningful work is littered with if err != nil { return err }. Etc.

It is easy to write code in Go, but IMO it's not easy to write and maintain a production grade system with any amount of complexity in Go because you _have_ to be careful, you can't encode invariants explicitly and let the compiler find problems for you, and you have to repeat yourself so often.
Reality is not unzipping in that the speed of light is different. A lot of inner monologues, sense of belonging, hope for the future, as something like covid makes the masses see a minority who do none of the “real work” as dependents who somehow have far more comfortable lives.

Tech oligarchs who were all “Disrupt!” are now all “Wait not me! I’m a rent seeker now!”

It’s a predictable circle of life given the common and fundamentally unchanged from any past iteration over the last thousands of years, human condition.
That may have been the case among the young (coincidentally the boomers). But it would be difficult to make the case that a significant percentage of people over 30 were disillusioned in that era.
Why do you think the market inevitably becomes a monopoly?

In the last 20 years we had generations when AMD CPUs were better (Athlon XP, Athlon 64, Zen 2, Zen 3) and generations when Intel CPUs were better (Core 2 Duo, Sandy Bridge, Haswell, Skylake).

That competition pushed performance to the awesome levels we have now, when high-end desktop CPUs exceed 1 TFlops FP32. As a consumer, I find the trend awesome and I hope it continues in the future.

"Multiple major issues with scientific and economic root causes are simply being ignored"

Such as?

"but because those with the power are unwilling to engage fundamental issues."

It's possible that some issues they are unable to address because there are legal or practical hurdles. For example, obesity is a massive issue that is dependent on individual buy-in. Things like addiction and crime could use improvement, but they are both highly complex issues and not easy to solve. Of course most systemic issues are difficult to solve in a democracy simply because they need a lot of support to have any momentum, especially if individual and states' rights/liberties heavily protected in the democracy constitution.
I have seen several spam messages get through lately - has been a noticeable decline in quality.
it costs more... but only because the dairy industry is heavily subsidized.

Sure we're burning down the planet and allocating massive amounts of water to feed and maintain livestock during drought conditions.

BUT! The ranchers need their 5th house and the proles need their artificially cheap meat that is blocking their arteries.

( not a vegan just annoyed by mis-allocation of resources )

I don’t see what your point is… this isn’t an either or thing.

It’s not literally milk, but these are clearly milk substitutes, where people use them when they would otherwise use milk.
Milk alternatives probably also reduce gas emissions among the lactose intolerant.

I'm not vegan or anything, but I've found oat milk not only tastes great on cereal etc, but it also keeps fresh for much longer in the fridge. I've pretty much given up buying cow's milk now days, unless I have a specific recipe or something that calls for it. Cheese, on the other hand, I can't see myself giving up any time soon!
I do something similar. When I'm actively listening to an album I'll put on a record, if I'm driving or putting on some background music while I do chores or work, I use apple music. I know records are bulky and finicky but I like the ritual, the bigger album art, and little things like reading the liner notes and dead wax markings. I'm not really an audiophile or anything, my setup is pretty middle of the road, I just really like the ritual and the closes I've come digitally was discovering new music in the soulseek chatrooms and organizing my mp3 collection and foobar skin.
> It's also not uncommon for me to go hunting for CD's that originally sold in the 80/90/00's, so as to get around "re-masters" that undo the lo-fi sound underground music fans enjoy so much. I doubt my copy of The Cramps' first compilation* is going to reflect in last year's CD sales.

I'm into pop and rock, but it's not uncommon for me to go hunting for CD's that originally sold before 1996 or so to get around "re-masters" that compress the life out of the music and undo the hi-fi sound that I enjoy so much.
>Keep in mind that instead of feeling bad about losing possible equity in a house you could invest that money instead of spending it on closing costs. So in a short term situation you can potentially earn more money by NOT buying a house, even if the monthly payments are the same.

Oat milk tastes pretty good and from the charts it’s a good balance between land and water use and emissions given. I keep a smaller carton of milk next to a similar sized oat milk one these days.

My only concern is if some studies will come out in a few years showing oat milk health effects similar to what is being discovered about soy. I don’t have all knowledge on this, but apparently soy can mess with hormones. It’s not going to kill nearly anyone, but it’s worth being aware of.
Unpopular opinion: becoming the beneficiary of favoritism is a skill that can be cultivated.
I agree. Could have done without the “just”.
I didn’t even think of SI units. That’s a good point.

In the same way that the Dutch East India and British India companies are referenced in college courses as the first “publicly traded” companies or as tools of colonization, I was wondering if the impact of Apple, Microsoft, Tesla might be viewed in a similar way in the future.
I agree that Rust does suffer a similar problem to NPM where there are many small packages that people will use together.

I do wonder what the solution is though because Go has the same problem as far as I can tell. It has a bigger stdlib so there's less need to reach out. But when you do, you're in the same state with lots of tiny packages that do 1 thing well.

I don't have much experience outside of Go/Rust/Node so I can point to maybe a few languages which I can see being the opposite:

C++ has a large stdlib, and boost. With C++ managing dependencies is your problem so I guess it's easier to have few megapackages.

Python feels the same for mathematical computing. Numpy, TF, Pandas are all huge. Conda is an event bigger bundle, again I think because using the standard pip tools is rather cumbersome and usually not what people want to do

So as far as I can see, it's either easy to share code for others to use, in which case you get dependency hell, or you make it hard to share dependencies, but you have larger more refined ones as a result.

Hard to say what's better
There is a death spiral that can occur when demand for dairy milk declines below a level where the supply chain can no longer support itself economically. Milk consumption is down 40% from the 70s in the US, 2730 dairy farms went out of business between 2018 and 2020, and if I had to hazard a guess, younger folks are going to prefer non dairy alternatives (for a variety of reasons).
