> In my case, the appeal of large city blended culture is that (1) I can find my tribe much more easily and (2) the tribes all have to get along because there's no dominant tribe enforcing its norms on the others. (There's obviously generalization in this statement, but I'd argue that relative to a monoculture community that these things are more truth than not. SF, SEA and others have plenty of challenges, but IMHO it's in part because they've become monocultures, or at least tech has become the dominant tribe and asserts its will on other cultures.)

Alternatively, perhaps there is a dominant culture in major US cities and you simply don't feel pressure to conform (because you're already conforming). Imagine someone expressing support for traditional values, police, Israel, etc or expressing criticism of BLM, Roe v. Wade, "soft-on-crime" policies, etc in a major US city--that person would definitely feel pressure (if not harassment) to conform to progressive politics. Hell, in my major US city, I feel chafed for not believing that cars are a completely unmitigated evil, and I'm sure there are a whole lot of areas where I don't feel chafed by the dominant progressive politics.
That page lists a number of studies that correlates IQ with a number of other lifestyle factors, and a few that postulates things like "well established in the psychological community". I haven't taken the time to read them thoroughly, but from a glance at the summary not a single one touches on the subject.

No one disputes that IQ works, that is not the claim, just as the even more nebulous term "socioeconomic factors" works across wide field s of study. But it is not the best predictor we have.

Not sure what types of propaganda you see in this, or who stands to gain from it. If any, it should be those heavily invested in questionable theories, perhaps even making money from peddling books and courses.

If you really want to argue that IQ is a scientific measurement, start by explaining the scientific process that arrived at the particular method that is broadly used to measure it. Then, if you really want to convince someone, explain what the feedback process looks like that guides the continuing work to improve the measurement process. Because surely there is one, unless you want to argue that IQ is a perfect predictor that could never be improved?

Many things from 60s psychology were quite extraordinary, and as the saying goes extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Efforts to reproduce these studies have had limited success, to say the least.

They would sure decrease in frequency (which is the whole point), but they would not disappear: if the legal case is good, the law companies would still take them on contingency. If the law company thinks their case is so weak that they might end up paying the defendant’a cost, good.
You're right and OP mentioned it at the start too. I guess your editor would show you what is expected there and that should be good enough for most cases.

If it is some sort of a library though, then there should be a better way to do this that to pass some enums as parameters to functions. But yes, it is a shortcoming that Go should probably fix.
As does Scala:

match thing {
case a: String =>
// use a as string
case a @ MyCaseClass(b: String, c, d) =>
// use a as the instance of MyCaseClass or use b as a string
}

In the US at least, the purported intent of copyright is, for a limited time only, 'to promote the progress of science and (useful) arts'. Arts in that context being the output of skilled trades / crafts. The intent is to expand the knowledge of sapient life and promote the spread of said knowledge.

Frivolous information isn't intended to be covered, it doesn't have an application that expands (as methods rather than material) the quality of type of things educated people can do.

This was also created in an era where even sound recordings didn't exist. Copyright as initially created nearly everywhere, exists in a world where the printing press exists, but is still enough of a pain to work with that books are higher value items for commoners. E.G. this is an era where farmer's almanacs of all the things useful for a farmer in a year get published as a book to improve the skills of a very common job.

The duration of copyright has also been abusively extended by... specific entities. In reality such draconian periods should only be possible as a form of consumer protection; as Trade Marks.

Copyright with a far more reasonable term length would allow material to enter the public domain within people's lifetimes, and a leading and trailing edge for culture as new ideas are created and then as greater spread and work based on those ideas is integrated into a culture would encourage better entertainment as current works would need to compete with recent classics.

Do not reply to this poster which is applying rule 5 of disinformation: Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary 'attack the messenger' ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as 'kooks', 'right-wing', 'liberal', 'left-wing', 'terrorists', 'conspiracy buffs', 'radicals', 'militia', 'racists', 'religious fanatics', 'sexual deviates', and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.

This merger includes a significant amount new cash being invested. Also, Stratasys will be taking backseat and becoming a minority investor. Ultimaker has continued to invest in Cura and make it available for many competing printers over the years. They understand the value of giving something back to a community. Thingiverse is one of the biggest and most important 3D printing communities out there. I know that a lot of people in Ultimaker (and I suspect MakerBot too) are keen to see Thingiverse be restored and improved.
Not extending the discussion (I’m not the parent commenter), but I think your argument highlights the cultural differences that exist in an interesting way. In the US, independence, self-reliance and optimism are a much bigger part of the common culture. You are considering only worst case scenarios and assuming that the state is the only thing you can rely on. Consider how your view would be different with a more optimistic view of your own luck/ability to recover, and a more pessimistic view of government.
I don't think crypto is the future of money. But I do see linear emission to be more attractive for all future generations, as it maximizes the emission in their lifetime, and doesn't make them feel like fighting for breadcrumbs from the earlier generations.

> How is that possible? It's not just passing pointers?

No. A Java string is a "pointer" to an array of 16-bit integers (each element is a 2-byte character). A C string is a pointer to an array of 8-bit integers.

You have to first convert the Java string to UTF8, then allocate an array of 1-byte unsigned integers, then copy the UTF8 into it, and only then can you pass it to a C function that expects a string.

I don’t begrudge people who want to live in a rural monoculture. I believe everyone should be able to pursue the life they want to live. More power to them.

However, I think some of your conclusions are either mistaken or not thinking about the consequences.

For example, small towns that have a single culture are great if you feel a part of it. However, even many people who are born and raised in the monoculture do not feel a part of it. For example, if you are LGBT, or even just have interests outside the monoculture. In a city, everyone can find a group they can connect with; in a monoculture, that isn’t the case.

Secondly, your last sentence seems to imply that cities are more dangerous than rural areas. However, if you look at the data, that is not the case… people in cities have a lower mortality rate than people in rural areas: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-07/rural-urb...

It's somewhat surprising how quickly Netflix has given up on their "progressive"values, which probably they thought were the right path to making more money, as soon as they found out they can actually be detrimental to them.

Now they have new values! Free speech, and they think they are a very serious topic that must be treaded carefully and thoughtfully. Because values are very important, not profit.

But you can be sure that if showing 10 year olds in a bikini was profitable, and society wasn't shocked by this, we'd have some new made up value supporting doing so.

> the article itself is about trying to adapt Go to become fundamentally more Rust-like?

The article does not even mention Rust. Not every attempt to make something 'safer' is an attempt to make it 'fundamentally more Rust-like'. (And you're also misusing the word "fundamental" - even if we grant this is "Rust-like" this is adapting their code to make their Go programs practically more Rust-like.)
These claims seem like the same (putative) thing you are deriding, takes with little basis.
The way I do it is starting with the logo.

I have a graphic designer work with me on the logo. With the finished logo you get style guidelines and an entire kit of all logo formats and resolutions.

You also get:

1) Color scheme - primary and secondary colors (this article reinforces this as well)

2) Typography - primary and secondary fonts. Now your use of any fonts especially custom fonts is no longer arbitrary, and congruent to a theme

3) Evocative messaging. The logo already evokes something in the viewer, the site is now congruent to that

This gives you a great launchpad and highly combustible accelerant to propel everything forward.
I loved the bit about trying to guess the password from the video, and nobody being able to do it, and the blind guy hearing the sound over and over and figuring out that it's in the box on the desk. And the audience realizes, "Hey, we were so busy looking at stuff that we didn't listen."

The only difference is you don’t see the toxicity in arguments as often, because any dissent is downvoted and effectively squelched. It’s more toxic righteousness, consistently.

"You can't put a gun to someone's head and force them to love you. You can't get blood from a turnip. And draconian measures generally fail to get real results."

I might be willing to stipulate the above. However there is a different mechanism at work when actors in the system have skin in the game.

And so, I will see your Temple Grandin (who I admire) and raise you a Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

Specifically: these producers need to be feeding their own children and raising their own families with these very same products.

Ironically, wealthy-global-north consumers (like foodco CEOs) are almost certainly not consumers of infant formula[1] (or lunchables or scent sprays or Monster drinks) so it is difficult to establish "skin in the game".

... and therein lies a tremendous amount of information. It should give consumers pause to learn that these products are not used - and likely disdained - by the stakeholders that produce them.[2][3]

For most families, the majority of their wealth is the equity in their house. In most states, we tax homeowners on the current unrealized value of their house, even if their mortgage makes them underwater.

It is a de facto wealth tax.

Here in Texas, we go further - all business are taxed on their non-financial assets , including inventory. This makes it so large farms and small factories are taxed on invested capital, and not just real estate.
Thanks. A couple thoughts: I read somewhere that rolling resistance didn't add up to much, but maybe I need to recheck that. Also, I wonder if it's different for city riding, where riders need to stop every block or two and start again.

I've lived all over the US and I've mostly seen this on the east coast (NY, CT, MA). Totally insane to me that police don't ticket the hell out of delivery vehicles for parking in the middle of active roadways (not just bike lanes).

Drivers in this area are terrible in general, not just delivery drivers. Everyone likes to claim that their local drivers are bad, but as someone with a lot of broad experience, East Coast drivers are truly some of the worst.

Reframing your question, it's incredibly impressive how popular Rust has become without a halo product, halo company, etc. Rust proponents will readily argue that Go is only as popular as it is because of being championed by Google. Meanwhile Rust has had to grow to the place where it is organically.

My personal belief is that over time Rust will inevitably eclipse C and C++. But it will take time. C and C++ will never fully go away, but projects that would have been written in them will be over time be preferentially written in Rust. The Linux kernel starting to write drivers in it is a harbinger of this, and once that effort has made it into released kernels we'll quickly start to see other parts of the kernel adopt Rust.

> AFAICT the future’s not looking bright for rust right now. It’s coasting on a wave of enthusiasm from relatively junior developers who aren’t making impressive things with the language yet.

Frankly this is my perspective of Go, which is (from my vantage point) mostly popular amongst junior developers. Rust is not even remotely marketed towards novices, and in many of the communities it's openly acknowledged that it's perhaps not the best choice for someone just setting out. C and C++ programmers are the ones primarily flocking toward Rust, while Python, Ruby, and Node developers are the ones who are primarily adopting Go as they're starting to see the value of static types, even as anemic as Go's type system is.

Anecdotally I know many, many engineers who have grown disillusioned with Go once they've worked on larger projects and had to repeatedly reinvent wheels that other languages provide as built-in features. Many of those engineers have gone on to champion Rust, and the flow of engineers between those two languages from my point of view heavily favors Rust.

But without a big champion like Microsoft, Google, or Sun/Oracle, this growth is going to happen organically and take time. Maybe there will be an enormous driver like Kubernetes for Go, Rails for Ruby, or ML for Python, but even without that I think Rust will gradually continue to snowball.
Interesting...could this explain secular stagnation?

It's an old tactic, IBM used to do it all the time: https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/ibm-tells-its...
Rust's syntax makes plenty of concessions to familiarity, as a way of making up for the much more important and irreducible unfamiliarity that it brings to the table (e.g. ownership). Originally Rust used the keyword `tag` here (for "tagged unions"), then vacillated between `enum` and `union` for years and years prior to 1.0.

Range can't satisfy Condorcet (that is, if there is a candidate that would win every head-to-head, that candidate should win the election).

Of course, the most common approaches to RCV also fail that criterion, but it's potentially a way some ranked methods are better than range methods.

Also, I remember how 2 years ago the breaking story about the emails found on Hunter Biden's laptop implicating Joe Biden in a Ukrainian money laundering scheme was "completely made up by Russians" and talking about it got you banned from every major social media site. Until it turned out to be legit, which it always was. So would that have been banned due to racism or nazis or transphobia or...some other made up reason to justify banning the discussion of it?
