Yes. Rust needs radically more use not to end up fizzling like myriad languages before it. But its stalwarts are hostile to measures to make it easier for people to pick up, even easy ones that do not alter the language at all. (E.g., allowing a debug build to complete despite borrow complaints.) It takes a special dedication to overcome barriers that most of the people it must attract lack.

It was meant to supplant C, but C users, as a rule, are defined by seeing a thousand other languages go by and not jumping. So Rust mostly picks up discontents from other languages, including Java, Go, and, yes, C++.

The danger in appealing to discontents is that they are likely to jump ship for the next shiny thing.
> And he's being notably more aggressive.

I don't agree. I think the second that you decide to reply-all and call equity training Maoist propaganda, you're being pretty damn aggressive. I also think that having comics that ridicule other peoples' identities posted outside your door is not so awesome or unaggressive.

The training is likely Duke's implementation of training requirements under Title 6 and Title 9 to continue receiving federal funding, and the professor's attendance is almost certainly contractually required. Deciding to reply all and lecture everyone about it is pretty cheap and aggressive.

> That’s because react is a library, and not a framework.

React should be considered a framework.

React absolutely imposes a data model (unidirectional workflow) to the developer thus a certain code structure. The fact that it is light weight compared to Angular doesn't change the fact that React is a front end framework. React usage completely replaces the traditional way to interact with the DOM and manage DOM events, thus abstracting it.

React becomes very hard to use if your data model isn't organized to suit React architecture.

It doesn't have opinions about everything (like AJAX or SPA routing) but it absolutely has an opinion about how you data objects should be structured.

I really can't understand the idea of friendship. Throughout my life, I never had the opportunity to foster a meaningful friendly relationship (one with trust, loyalty, support etc.) I found it to be apparent when people toss over the things I do.

I have a lot of acquaintances and friends but very few close friends. Other than that, I feel like most people only talk with me when they absolutely need something. Otherwise, I am always the last person to be called on anything.

> Becoming disentangled from your web of mutual commitments, shared history, and collective responsibility is to be rendered into a transaction, a slave.

When author compared that having this "disentangled" social web is like being enslaved to business, I couldn't relate it. Isn't it completely normal? I don't want to idolize friendship, but everything will end eventually. I have experienced this throughout multiple phases of my life. No one of the so called friends made effort to contact me once I disappeared from social media. Only my close friends remained because I put the effort to do so. When I stopped putting effort, even these relationship got eroded (One can't clap with a single hand). This was the moment I realized that there is no such thing as friendship which author described.

Life is what you give meaning to. It's nice that author is there to foster social meaning. For some reason the post felt like it's trying to create void that people without close friends are missing things from life. When I came in peace that I can't rely on any other person but myself, I found peace.

Life has multiple dimensions. No one has to live in one way. It's better to find our own ways and be happy with it.

PS: Just a minor opinion! Do not take it personally.
Sounds about right. I had Covid in January 2021. Had long Covid for what felt like a year. Everytime I’m sick(because of kids), I can’t test positive for Covid but the flus feel a bit stronger than they did previously. Usually to the point of knocking me out for a week. Used to be only a couple days. Hopefully my immune system is getting stronger each day.

I don't think that OP ever stated that their browser is in English, just saying that they also browse English sites (and they're probably not using Firefox - its text rendering is super consistent across different systems). Safari (obviously) and Chrome (less obviously) in macOS defers to the OS for text rendering - hence the problem.

I bet they bought your info from data brokers and joined datasets. You probably leaked your phone number with your name at some point: maybe you filled out some form, put there your number and later this form was sold to data brokers. On another occasion you gave away the link between your number and that email: some furniture website asked for those details and you gave that. Another big opportunity for data hoarders is those in-store discounts in exchange for your number, but they also get to see your credit card info, so linking your number to your name is trivial.
My (admittedly limited) understanding is that its sort of an escalating series of interventions, run by a panel of social workers and medical professionals. The penalties seem to ratchet up as a person’s addiction becomes more and more problematic or impactful on the community, which makes a lot of sense to me.

In my home state, Oregon, we voted to decriminalize all “personal use” amounts of all drugs back in 2020. However, the folks who crafted the ballot measure left out a lot of the “stick” parts that have made Portugal’s efforts more successful. That has not worked well. At a time when meth use was already skyrocketing, it has enabled dealers to proliferate rapidly. They simply have to make sure they only carry a personal use amount on them at any given time. I’d really like to see us implement some of the more persuasive elements of Portugal’s model to curb some of the downsides we’re now dealing with.

It varies a lot depending on the field. I was never particularly worried about being scooped during my PhD. I think that's because there were/are few people working on the same problem.

To give an example: One idea I've been working on lately is in a very narrow field where almost no one has the background to do it. (I consider myself barely qualified.) Someone publishes something similar perhaps a few times each decade. I'm really not worried about being scooped on this. I've thought before that whatever paper I write on this is basically written for someone a decade or more in the future, as possibly no contemporary researchers will care.
No joke. I used C++98 for a job a while back and got comfortable with it, I asked "hey why don't we use c++14"(this was years ago).

More recently I've learned rust. I haven't missed c++ at all. Even the more modern stuff I've learned later on...

It doesn’t. It’s an extrapolation based on the limited insights of a PhD who by any reasonable definition spends too much time with simulations.

Pretty nice explanation!

Commercial pulse oximeters don't always do things exactly this way, but that's more a matter of "secret sauce" than anything else. The principles here are all you really need to understand a basic pulse oximeter. There are more advanced techniques, like Masimo's Rainbow SET, but it's just the same idea with more LEDs.

More interesting to people around here is what the hardware connects to. These things are typically used with patient monitors, those things that display the little charts and go "beep" when your heart beats. Most sensors that connect to a patient monitor are read out by the monitor itself, so a Nihon Kohden and a Mindray monitor might have slightly different sensitivities. It's all handled by manufacturer-designed hardware and manufacturer-controlled software. Not so for SpO2. SpO2 is actually handled by a complete board with firmware purchased from one of the major sensor vendors (usually Nellcor or Masimo). And this board has actual moderately-good security locking down its firmware, and in some cases uses obscure hardware to make it even harder to reverse engineer. Kind of wild!

Having run the numbers on various tower-of-blocks storage systems, I came in prepared to be very unimpressed. I'm still fairly skeptical on a lot of levels, but I'm at least not going to laugh at the idea this time.

Reminder that a kWh is 2,655,220 ft-lbs, with a foot-lb being a pound raised 1 foot. Or 367097 kg-m.

Let's say we want to store a megawatt-hour in the Burj Khalifa, 828m tall. We can quickly calculate how much weight we need: 443kg, assuming perfect work<->energy conversions.

Let's compare that versus a more regular scenario though. Let's take a 60 story residential building. This is ~206m tall. Now to store 1MWh we need 1782kg, or ~2 tons. This is still quite doable, but this is still a pretty tall building.

Storage (per weight) keeps going down linearly with building height. But also up with weight. Even in New York, the number of buildings over 40 stories is probably under 100, it looks like in the paper. Making 100MWh of storage would be nice, but also for scale, Moss Landing plant in San Jose has 1.2GWh of storage attached to it (California requires new capacity to have grid batteries!). That's a grid battery for a 1GW natural gas plant, so it's going to be big, but it puts into scale how hard it would be to turn NYC into an effective height-battery.

> What percent of Americans do you think are subject to those laws?

Well, as with many things in life, it depends on the location. The odds of there being a non-familial occupancy limit are a lot lower in Loving County, Texas than they likely are in Harris County, Texas, simply because more population tends to beget more situations where society has decided we need more rules.

While overall percentages are likely low, the percentages in the areas where homelessness is most acute are almost certainly higher. For example, San Francisco's occupancy ordinance says that, in general, the upper limit is two people of occupancy per bedroom. While San Francisco has repealed its rules about non-familial cohabitation, Dallas still has some limits (though they are sparsely enforced).

Further, areas where homelessness is most acute also tend to have a higher percentage of people who rent, since the barriers to building any kind of housing make all but the most expensive kind of housing--rental units with long-term ROI built for "luxury"--the only kind that get built. According to media reports in 2021, people who rent make up 65% of San Francisco's households. Same for Seattle, where 50.3% of households rent their dwellings. It is likely the case that not all of these rental agreements have restrictions on who can move in and at what time, I would bet one months' rent that the overwhelming majority do.

> It's literally thinking "thoughts and prayers" for homeless people will help them, and deriving some kind of smug moral superiority for that.

I agree that simply having empathy but not backing with efforts is the most hollow of gestures. However, simply saying "well, why don't they live with you" isn't helpful. For another reason beyond what we've discussed, why is it automatically the case that someone who is unhoused would want to live with a stranger? There are myriad justified complaints about congregate shelters and short-term transient housing. The answer isn't "find roommates for everyone," it's "build housing at the rate and income levels needed to house people." But for the howling NIMBYs of the group, we could probably do this. So would it not be more effective to get many of the BS rules blocking housing out of the way?

It's not a short-term fix, but we already know what other short term fixes are that aren't people taking in roommates: buying hotels and converting them, for one; tiny house villages with proper doors and sanitary facilities are another. Not sweeping people from one "unsanctioned" campsite to another with nowhere to go is a third.
I mean I get what you are saying about how old stuff doesn't have adoption issues. But, rust is a pretty unique paradigm. The safety guarantees it offers aren't found in other languages without garbage collectors.

Rust is boring and technical. Boring in the "it just works and when it doesn't it's not hard to figure out why" way. You didn't say this, but for others passing by, it would be a mistake to view rust as a "shiny thing". People use it for a reason, barring syntax entirely.
