> And you didnt say that you personally would adopt all of these forced births so you made my point.

Interesting…So your point is now that a single person who is both pro-adoption and pro-choice should be willing to literally adopt the 600k children that may now become available every year due to possible abortion restrictions? So you are saying that your ridiculous standard was not actually hyperbole? You actually meant it? Wow.

Well I guess I am going to have to get a second job.
Web scraping is legal. Reddit users, like all other members of public forums, put their comments on the internet for the whole world to see. And collect, parse, process and manipulate. If you don't want the whole world to have access to your writing, you'd have to join a private forum.

Trying to shoehorn social media posts into some contorted post-hoc bastardization of the concept of privacy is ridiculous.

Shockingly, things that people post to publicly accessible websites are accessible by the public. We're starting to see social damage from this, with facial recognition and authoritarian governments using people's posts for tracking and oppression.

Decentralized services with strong legislation protecting personal data, and globally recognized content licensing will all be needed to prevent future abuse, but everyone currently in the planet over the age of 20 is more or less personally responsible for the massive and naive oversharing. We know better now, but 15+ years ago nobody except Sci-fi authors and fringe activists had a grasp of how badly unprotected globally shared streams of consciousness could go wrong.
You can’t even tell iPadOS from macOS anymore, which was a major problem for us.

Our mobile website is full of essentially “Do this in the mobile app” buttons that only show up on mobile devices. Suddenly we had to rewrite it all to be done with JS rather than server side because there’s no way to detect iPads server side anymore. Even then our JS test for iPad is essentially “Is a Mac” && “Supports Multitouch” which if Apple ever releases a touch screen Mac will be trouble.

Similarly the new Edge on Xbox One just claims to be Edge on a Windows PC whereas it used to previously advertise you were on Xbox. Makes it difficult to do Xbox specific enhancements.

The balls sound a lot tougher in the new design. From your wiki link:

> spherical fuel compacts each 6 centimetres (2.4 in) in diameter with particles of uranium-235 and thorium-232 fuel embedded in a graphite matrix

And from the article on Canada's reactor:

> The fuel inside of this vessel are solid kernels made from a mix of uranium, carbon, and oxygen, with each being roughly the size of a poppy seed. These kernels, which are covered in several ceramic coatings, are then encased in a diamond-like substance

That substance is silicon carbide: https://www.ans.org/news/article-2830/a-first-triso-fuel-mad...

Also, the wiki says "a fuel pebble became lodged in a fuel feed pipe to the reactor core." In the new design, there's "no on-site fuel storage, handling, or processing." If the fuel elements are just sitting there instead of getting moved around in pipes, there's little reason for them to break.
I think the problem with Rust and most other languages, is illustrated by what Zig (for me) does right:

My main motivation for using Zig is that it's rapidly becoming a better C toolchain that GCC or Clang. So I'm extremely motivated to compile all my C code with Zig when it becomes possible. After that it's only natural to write more of my code in Zig.

So, my hypothesis is, a language that could replace C has to have a better C compiler built-in than existing C compilers.

Another side of this, is that it has to be extremely easy to use C from the new language and vice-versa. Something I also think Zig does mostly right.

How would a language that wants to compete with C even work without a feature to directly address memory locations (i.e. "pointers")?

I don't understand the "static typing vs type inference" argument, so I'll not comment on that :) (there are plenty of statically typed languages with type inference)

It seems to me that these crusaders (and I've seen a few) think that because you shouldn't build a big bridge out of wood, you shouldn't build anything out of wood. Is the thinking more sophisticated than that? Honest question (and I code in Rust).

;; Receives a Char in R0, char* in R1
;; Return result in R0

based on what it seems to do, can almost certainly be replaced with a simple repnz scasb.

Ah, that penalty is easily dismissible by pressing F13
Postgres certainly can. It's less than two million lines of code. Just Firefox has more Rust code than entire Postgres.
Cost is extremely important, though. Energy costs propagate everywhere. Want to make some aluminium? That costs a lot of electricity. Want to serve some data? Got to power the servers with something.

If your electricity cost is too much, industry will move elsewhere.

If you try to subsidize it, that money will have to come out of somewhere.

I assume the closed source dependency is distributed as a .a/.so/.dll file, then you can use bindgen[0].

Do these modern C-replacement languages like Hare and Zig have exactly the same security problems related to memory allocation, or do they have additional safeguards against them that C does not?
You're the first person I ever heard use that argument. It's usually about the life of the potential child, not about society at all.

I'm not sure I get the argument either. Is the danger that God grabs his ban hammer and stomps western society because a woman living as part of that society decided to end a pregnancy?

Fwiw: I was against a vaccination requirement for COVID-19, but categorically denying that it might be necessary for another virus is a very dangerous worldview. It's not necessarily a choice an individual can do, because herd immunity is a thing and vaccinations usually don't make you immune to a virus, it usually just improves the odds your immune system has against it.
Whenever people bring up Lisp syntax, I like to remind everyone about io language. Its homoiconicity is inspired by Lisp, and almost all good things about Lisp syntax are applied in io, but at the same time it avoids this awkwardness that turns away most of the people (and turns the remaining minority into zealots :-)

So if you design a language and want to use Lisp-like syntax, I recommend to also check out io before steaming ahead.

Hare's target niche is stated on its home page:

> Hare is a systems programming language designed to be simple, stable, and robust. Hare uses a static type system, manual memory management, and a minimal runtime. It is well-suited to writing operating systems, system tools, compilers, networking software, and other low-level, high performance tasks.

I would be happy to clarify further if you're still unsure of what kind of programs are well-served by being written in Hare.
You would write something like List a = Cons a (List a) | Nil

As :: doesn't start with a letter, it's infix by default. But basically a binary constructor. If you want to create the List [1,2,3] in the prefix notation you might be used to: ::(1,::(2,::(3,[])))
You would need to compile the newer versions with the older versions. The first C++ compiler was probably written in C.
Super thankful for this today. In particular the Web Browsing & Internet category. I used the Chromium Legacy Downloader to give new life to an old MacBook Air that wouldn't run some web-based tools a coworker needed.
>> Software distribution is a trivial corner case that does not justify either the complexity or the security risk of giving that out.

Yes, we already have to choose between OSX, Windows and Linux. We could just as well point at Apple and say it's not right to call Intel and ARM versions of their OS the same thing. No no, just make the user select the right one. Automating this decision is a very minor convenience thing we can live without.
While it technically "made a profit" it's sales after launch where massively under expectations.

They where expecting to sell upwards of 30+ Million copies in the first year. They sold 14+ Million before launch, and an additional 4 Million since. For an AAA game of this size that is a crazy dropoff, and it is unlikely to ever reach the original goal, even if the expansions manage to turn the massive PR hit to CD Projekt around.

(And thats ignoring the fact that CD's stock absolutely tanked after launch, and is unlikely to recover until The Witcher 4, if ever.)

Hare has significantly more safety and security features than C. Bounds-checked slices, no uninitialized data, mandatory error handling, nullable pointer types, and others still. What it lacks that Rust users object to is a borrow checker.
I use multiple-cursors and don't have a problem with it. Who cares whether it's efficient? I will prefer lsp-rename where possible, but if I'm replacing some strings or whatever it's very quick to just select the string, and then add a few cursors and change them all at once (I use s-d for that). It's not like I'm using thousands of cursors at once.

You can, but why would you set up the market backwards?

The whole idea of base load was that nuclear is very cheap, but inflexible. So you optimize, generating as much as possible with nuclear, then filling in the variable bits with more expensive to run, but more flexible generation.

Cheap renewables have completely wrecked that model though.

None of that is steelmanning either. You're making a very common mistake of dismissing evidence ("the existing evidence is, at best, of extremely poor quality, and at worst, outright fraudulent") which with benefit of hindsight appears to be both accurate and in good faith [0].

Now that evidence wasn't conclusive (indeed, the argument for ivermectin in 1st world countries has been more or less demolished), but someone has to do what Scott did and come up with a better reason to dismiss the evidence than an appeal to authority. Just claiming you want to ignore it because experts ignore it is hardly a strong argument compared to a pretty reasonable number of studies showing a positive effect. And it is easy to see why some people would turn to conspiracy theories if that is the best other people can come up with in casual conversation.

[0] I mean, you go to a region where 10% of the population has parasites and hand out ivermectin. That'll have a fantastic effect on COVID outcomes. There'll be an obvious positive impact that any study would pick up.

> What will be kept as backup for days with little production btw?

Australia is different to Germany. We get high solar output every day, even in winter, and while we do get some wind droughts, they are less long and widespread than in Europe. We don't need to 'back up' anything close to 100% of our renewable capacity, and we don't need 'back up' for very long durations.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
It is too early for most, if not all, projects to consider working in Hare over C/C++/Rust. It is a young, incomplete language, still pre-1.0. It may be interesting to those who are open to a more experimental language to work with during its early stages. As it matures, the utility will ideally grow with time.

Yes, there is "still plenty of coal production" in Australia. Some references:

Coal accounts for about 75 per cent of Australia’s electricity generation, followed by gas (16 per cent), hydro (5 per cent) and wind around (2 per cent).[1]

About 92% of electricity in Ontario is produced from zero-carbon sources: 59% from nuclear, 24% from hydroelectricity, 8% from wind, and 1% from solar.

Today, data tables are mostly dynamically generated, probably via accessing an API endpoint of some sort. The dev would at most write a function that would output the data inside a <table> element. But the table data itself would only be visible in the browser, it wouldn't be hardcoded into the HTML markup.

Funny that tools distributed via a linux package manager are considered 'vetted and patched automatically', but a broadly used JS build tool distributed via npm is likely seen as an unstable dependency, or worse a supply-chain attack vector.

> sam and max[had own tv show]

Sam and Max was a 80s-90s comic by Steve Purcell[0], who was also a LucasArts employee at the time. You will recognize his art style in several Monkey Island scenes.

Anyway the point is that the tv show was not based on the videogame which you seem to be implying, but on the comic instead.

The comic series is artistically amazing. Purcell is a master of setting an atmosphere. It's also meant to be comedic but the humor is mainly cartoon violent slapstick mixed with pop culture references (of the time). It's dated by now.
