Just recently I replaced an internal library (classes for User and a list of users, that need serialization from and to json) with a Python library written in Rust (using pyo3 and maturin).

I did not do it for performance considerations, but because I felt the type system of Rust could give me better guarantuees here (and it did, I found multiple bugs this way).

On top the performance gain was noticible, although I did not bother to benchmark it.

There are still some gotchas in the conversion from Python types to Rust (e.g. a function which takes a Vec<String> will happily accept a str and produce a vector of the str characters. This is common behaviour in Python where I tend to do a isinstance(value, str): value = [value] to deal with this.
Since Nim is statically typed you can't simply create a new variable with the same name as an existing one without errors. You can shadow variables in a deeper scope, but then only the latest version is available. Defining a function xyz and then trying to define another function xyZ is indeed an error.
Thanks for sharing, that's hilarious :D
>> - Invest in infrastructure so that living apart from big cities is more worthwhile. Especially broadband internet and schools.

The rest of your list is good, but I don't agree with this at all. American cities need less sprawl, not more. Denser cities need less infrastructure, which means less stuff to maintain and have to rebuild as it ages.

IMO we should strive to make it so that living far from cities is what is expensive, not in them. I know not everyone prefers that, but it's by far more sustainable, economically.
If only the oil and coal companies had learned the same lesson.
This matches my experience with Nim community and it's toxic leadership. The amount of petty drama the community leaders get involved with is unbelievable. Spending a few weeks on their Discord, and observing how the leadership interacts with new/opposing ideas is enough to get a clear picture. It doesn't inspire trust.

Contrast this to, say, Zig, their road-maps and community structure is light years ahead.
What if the manager is a software engineer?

I would just like to know exactly how are the engineers going to make the decisions, and the key point here being that they are in plural.

They all have different opinions, preferences, levels of ambition etc, how does this spontaneously merge into a cohesive team that pulls into the same direction?

It doesn't, in any other type of group in all of society. Every group needs a leader, so how is this spontaneously going to "just work" in software engineering?

If you don't want to have a manager, you have to have something else. Democracy? Plutocracy? Gerontocracy?

I think it's pretty obvious that just leaving it to chance is not going to be efficient or any type of healthy environment, and will probably quickly start to resemble something pretty nasty, especially because their livelihood is on the line.
But how did the german museum get it?
Sweden doesn't have social housing. What you are discussing is called rent control and means that landlords can't decide rents for their properties by themselves. Without rent control you'd get even more segregated cities as many areas would become too expensive for most to live. Landlords and their lobby organizations want rent control abolished though because doubled rents would greatly increase their profits.
The grandparent is a bit unclear in my opinion.

In the BRF system, you literally do not "buy the place you live in", you instead buy the right to live there. The actual ownership of the property is with the BRF.

The word is "bostadsrättsförening" [1] which roughly translates to "living rights association" or something (Wikipedia uses "housing cooperative" so I guess that's the best).

The word "förening" is hard to translate, the closest seems to be "voluntary association" [1], it is a formal collection of people with some common purpose (like managing a house). There are legally various types with varying requirements, and so on.

Edit: spelling, more linkage.

Not trying to be too skeptical, but that doesn't exactly sound like it's working too well. I remember charts by the ECB as showing Sweden with the most overpriced real estate in the EU. It might look ok in comparison to Barcelona, but that one's probably only second to Venice as the world's tourism hot spot and has an extreme concentration of AirBnBs, not exactly representative of Western Europe in general.
See, you can already see the problem with this:

1. Editors don’t return carriage on RS

2. There is no US or RS key on my keyboard

I am keeping my tsv. Tab is _never_ a data character. And if return carriage is a data character, you probably shouldn’t use a dsv file in the first place.
Housing shouldn't be a market? Then how would housing be allocated? The state builds and gives housing to everyone?

Maybe you should take a trip to Eastern Europe one of these days to see the final result of what you're advocating. Pros: everyone is given an apartment to live in. Cons: your city's skyline looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/5X1sIeP.jpg

"We collectively decide" just means you decide for me. You think you know better than everyone else and want to impose your values on others.
> Wasn’t the link between high cholesterol and heart disease debunked in recent years? I had the impression that it was the excess carbs / sugars which are what causes health problems.

So did a lot of other people, some of whom were in good shape went on keto, and needed a bypass after not too long.

Total cholesterol isn't necessarily that predictive but non-LDL cholesterol/APOB are strong predictors of CVD
It is a less reaching idea than you first suggest: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis
This is a fair question, and one I'm not entirely satisfied that I have the answer for. Ideally, in my mind, I wouldn't own my home but I'd also be on the hook for maintenance and upkeep. But I recognize this does not meet everyone's needs and needs more thought.

I would also hope that we would tend to build fewer mansions in favor of more multi family complexes, cohousing, coops, and small community oriented housing on the beach.
I don't think I ever said anything about Europe not having problems with white supremacists. Can you point to the part of my comment that made you think that I said that?
Yeah, the pattern has been a massive increase in spend in consultancies (especially the big 4) for things that the public service used to do itself. I believe it's over a billion dollars per year to the big 4 now, from tens of millions p/a back then.
I think you on to something; Things that "seem similar" could very well not be ! I.e OOP vs Functional. Sure they both "programming" but very very different !
Have you looked at the amazing CS50 online courses on Harvard?
You're confusing want and need though. You might not like to live in any house, and you might need to be roughly geographically located to do work, but for the most part any house that fits your family is interchangable.

When you take the other things, like job and where you want to send your kids to school it becomes a hell of a lot more fungible.

Given that commoditization is a scale, I would say it could be toward that end of the spectrum if we wanted it to be.
I'll try and argue the point without the useless pejoratives in a companion comment.

Those payments are the equivalent of rent in the housing market. The thing that isn't a market and isn't being bought and sold is the right to provide those services, it's the power grid and generation plants, or the garbage infrastructure. The monopoly on those is what is anti-market and is the equivalent of not being able to buy and sell property.

I'm not making a political point there, I happen to thing some thing are natural monopolies and that markets have their limit. Housing is a complex issue in this respect. Flats in big city blocks are much like a commodity and limited urban building space naturally reduces competition, while nice houses in the suburbs or country are very much a market with lots of options suiting different needs.
PO-28 would be my go to. Its pretty limited in what it can do (though for the money that makes sense), but what it does it does fantastically, better than a lot of hard or soft synths I've seen for 10x that (imo, the pocket operator keypad is much more intuative than a standard keyboard).

Soft synths will of course be more affordable, you can get renoise for less than your budget which is a whole DAW. But I do recognise the appeal of hardware, no matter how many soft synths I buy it can't fill that hole for me either lol
Looks like there is something wrong with the main URL of the article.

I will resubmit.
$350k in 1997-dollars means that 25 years ago, it was worth $627k in today-dollars.

Adjusting for inflation, it's doubled in real value over 25 years, which works out to <3% APR. It's a decent return, but we've also ignored 25 years of property tax and maintenance. (on the other hand, we've also ignored 25 years of effective rent)

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that $1.3M isn't worth what it used to be but it sounds big in our head because we remember a time when a dollar went a lot further than it does today.
I don't like such changes. Php 8 had a lot of breaking changes and upgrading it is already an arduous task. If I don't upgrade then package will demand php 8. If I don't upgrade package & language then I must stay alert of security vulnerabilities. And, changes like this makes relearning difficult. I wonder why majority of people in rfc voted "yes"

Thankfully I am investing in Rust language which has stability guarantee. In my opinion language shouldn't move fast. There should be balance. All those tutorials, guides become useless. There is a reason why COBOL is still used for 90%+ atm swipes.
Well, just read the...

> because I didnt read the docs

Ouch.

> Or is it a separate routine that you have to write?

If you are writing a function or a module what would do something (eg API wrapper) then of course you need to write it yourself.

But if you are writing just a script for your mundade one-time/everyday tasks and call cmdlets what supports ShouldProcess then it works automagically. Issuing '-whatif' for the script would pass `-whatif` to any cmdlet what has 'ShouldProcess' in it's definition. Of course if someone made a cmdlet with a declared ShouldProcess but didn't write the logic to process it - you are out of luck.

But if have a spare couple of minutes check the docs in the link, it was originally a blog post by kevmarq, not a boring autodoc.
i'd guess:

- burnout
- world stress
- aging (you getting dumber)

the burnout happens to everyone. whether you end up killing yourself, or taking a few months off, or switching careers completely or just internally like going to product, or getting fired/pushed out just depends on all the usual stuff - how stubborn are you? do you listen to friends? do you have friends? do you have any sane friends? and/or family? do you have any money saved? did you find a good therapist who told you the truth (you're burned out and you need to change careers or stop for at least six months)? etc.

the world stress is caused because we're all more likely to die more horrible deaths every day that goes by but no mainstream news is talking about our imminent deaths by nuke or gw, and we stay distracted with nba or serials or crypto or drugs or metaverse. you have to find indie news that hasn't been canceled yet to hear anything that is compatible with what you're seeing with your own eyes every day.

aging makes you dumber in the computing sense at least, and also because brain fog creeps in more quickly on a standard garbage western diet. saying this true thing got zuck some pushback ten years ago precisely because it was true, and it's more true today.
Do they know off the cuff which will be quality? The commission-in-bulk strategy reminds me a bit of YC expanding the startups in each batch, to maximise their chances of unearthing diamonds. And might be hard to avoid when you are increasingly targeting multiple continents.

This.

Was in the same boat over a year ago when AT&T started SMS spamming about 3G sundown plans on one of my prepaid phones (Blackberry Key2) flagged as "incompatible"; to be sure, the older KEYone and Priv models are apparently whitelisted because AT&T had sold and directly supported those models at some time in the past.

Got so annoyed by the recurring, persistent warnings and no reasonable explanation why this 4G VoLTE phone would be sucking hind tit on their network in the near future that I ported the number to T-Mobile on a random Sunday afternoon (reduced monthly bill too) and never looked back.

If the UX leading up to disconnect was anything like mine, I'm honestly not sure why this event is catching so many AT&T customers off guard.

Unless they are experiencing poverty

Around 11 million children in the US live in poverty. A great number more children are poor to very poor (just over poverty might not be poverty, but it makes your life pretty bad). It probably isn't so bad in a country with a robust safety net (still poor, but not getting the full effects of poverty)

I don't know about wealth inequality being the specific worry, but knowing things are getting more expensive definitely has an effect on children. Suddenly, the parent is stressed and the uncertainty gets passed on. Though, I honestly am wondering if I've missed something because while I see things about money and inflation mentioned, I haven't actually seen folks mention wealth inequality.
As an Aussie who has lived overseas for decades even the SMS option is not available to me as it requires you to have an Australian phone number.

You can't install the myGov Code Generator app without an Australian phone number either.

I haven't tried the myGovId app, which seems the best bet, as I'm scared it will fail and block what access I have to myGov now.

Also, for a long time the only way to change your myGov email was to set up a new myGov account. Ditto if you had the Code Generator app and lost your phone - though with the myGovId app you now have another avenue for recovery - provided of course that it doesn't crash, accepts your scanned documents and you actually have enough such documents to keep it happy.

My kid picked up about $1000 in surplus lab equipment from his school. They were never assigned asset tags so figuring out how to dispo them properly was more trouble than it was worth to the professors. He asked and they said to just take it.
Landlords who acquired property 20 years will use 'market rate' as a justification. I know of someone making a living from such a building consisting of 2 small apartments and a single office. He doesn't have a job, just idols away at home at all day getting anxious about climate change and identity politics.
I think the engine is just offended by your terrible writing style.
How often would people have to move?
Well first of all, I don't believe "tolerance" is useful for evaluating historical epochs as if from a position of absolute truth. It is mainly a construct, which rapidly falls apart at further inspection: at most something which arbitrarily occurs towards a variety of human expression at specific times in specific places. But above all, what we call "tolerance" today is hardly applicable to societies that practiced slavery, considered women property, didn't even have writing etc. It is barely more than a (slightly intolerant) dogwhistle, a "look at me, I like flubber" if you like.

The same actually applies to the terms "forward" or "backward"; we are steeped in a belief that originated in the zeitgeist of intellectual Europe in the early 1800s (Comte et al) that society always moves forward, i.e. to a better place than before. It was supposed to be a secular set of objective values applied to the historical progression of epochs, but it has turned out to be as arbitrary as any other that touts as superior and eternal the finicky values of their own specific time and place. When I use the term it mostly just represents the arrow of time, with no further valuation.

Many people feel like this kind of reasoning will cause them to lose their moorings, but it is really the only viable antidote to the ubiquitous self-righteousness that is ultimately putting us all at risk. It is not like nihilism, because it leads to the conclusion that it is better to have an understanding for, and come to terms with other people, be they from times gone by, with beliefs that may seem strange, or from the other side of the globe.

"Human life has intrinsic value, it could be argued from a moral standpoint, but human labor does not. What matters is what that labor is used for. I could have you spend all day making mud pies. That does not mean your labor is worth anything. The only thing that can determine the true value of your labor is what someone else is willing to pay for i.e. the market."

That's the basic failure of a capitalist. They want to shift the risk onto the worker without sharing the reward.

A human hour is worth precisely that - an hour. What is done with the hour is at the risk of those buying the hour, not those selling it.

It's for the capitalists to obtain the productivity. That is, after all, where their share of the pie comes from. If they can't do that, then it is the capitalist that starves, not the worker.

"They DO have the ability to bargain. Their ability to walk away is one of their most powerful things they can do"

Except that the power asymmetry stops that from working. Workers have to get work to eat, businesses only need to hire if there is a chance to profit. The time horizons are mismatched.

Therefore with the system we have, where there are systemically fewer jobs than people who want them, the bargaining power is with capital, not labour.

To fix it requires a default job, and a wide based tax to support that. That way if capitalists fail to hire everybody they pay anyway.
The difference is that Ansible just installs the package you ask for in addition to other packages which may have been installed by a previous play or by other means, whereas the OP has developed a tool that ensures only the specific packages you ask for (and its dependencies) are installed.

One gotcha of Ansible is that removing a package from a playbook does not remove it from Ansible managed systems. You need to either manually remove the package or add another play that removes the package. The OP's tool does not have this limitation.
As an Australian I can relate to the "general lack of wanting things to be better".

I feel like 80% of what I've done in my work life (still living and working in Australia) has been trying to convince people to care about doing things better!

I feel like may be a bit of a generational thing around here? Seemed to be a lot of older managers and engineers who were very set in their ways, but it does seem a bit less so for younger people. Of course there are exceptions, happily I now finally work with more people who want to improve things and do things really well than I have for years and a couple of them are in that older generation.

My guess is that she placed a high value on trying to get an ancient piece of art back to its rightful owner without falling afoul of any laws governing possession of stolen art, and that hiring a lawyer is a pretty good way to deal with that situation. She could have saved herself a lot of trouble by chucking it in a lake, but something tells me that wouldn't have been a satisfying outcome to her. Everything humans do isn't always about maximizing value to oneself.
