Largely complaints of Rust seem to boil down to the programmer needing to describe object lifetime information in code.

We can, as the original post did, show approaches that are overwhelmingly difficult in Rust because of this but trivial in Go. Alternative approaches, as this post shows, can be relatively straightforward.

In a similar vein, a Python programmer might complain about having to explicitly describe object type information in Go code. One supposes they could show approaches that are overwhelmingly difficult in Go, but trivial in Python.

Python, Go and Rust programs all do have types and object lifetimes. It is just that mistakes in type are not found until runtime in Python, and likewise mistakes in lifetime are not found until runtime in Python and Go.

Personally, after years of Python I came to value describing types in code, and after years of Go I came to value describing lifetimes in code too.

I took the trouble of logging in to HN to call bullshit on this whole thread. The reason these teenagers aren’t building standalone apps is generally because they know that web apps are the future. Moreover, there are dozens of new travel planning startups every year (YC regularly funds them!) and they seem to discover the same thing that Microsoft did—the real reason they stopped updating this magical app—which is that everybody wants better travel apps but nobody wants to pay for it.

I’m sure someone will crack the code someday and I’m glad they will keep trying, but I refuse to accept the premise that $100 Apple developer accounts are their primary impediment.

I'm saying that the sync version shouldn't be "run tokio blocking in the background", because while you might be giving them an out on async infection in theory, you're still making them bring in the entire dependency tree and you're still creating more background resources than is necessary.

Slave is a superset of the slave subtypes. 'Viking' is not such a superset because it didn't really exist at all. So the slave example isn't misleading, just incomplete as all generalisations must be. I'd find it problematic if you referred to slaves who were in fact not slaves at all, though.

In addition to the other comments people have made, relative URLs that start with a slash don't work the way you probably intend them to if you're browsing around with file:// paths. For example, a webpage located at /Users/example/Sites/example.com/index.html when loaded with file:// URLs will not find /Users/example/Sites/example.com/style.css if you use <link rel="stylesheet" href="/style.css">. (But you probably want to use "/style.css" rather than "./style.css" because then you don't have to keep track of arbitrary depths of ../ being added for files like /Users/example/Sites/example.com/foo/bar/baz/index.html.)

Australian supermarkets have gotten much better in the last few years. The quality is still lower than what you can find in your local green grocer or butcher, but there is a wider variety of items and specific supermarkets will carry items for the local community that other locations won't have.

SEO is a skill set that helps algorithms understand content.

The whole point of tech is that the software scales the ability to serve customers. Engineers exist for R&D, not necessarily to support operations. Take Netflix or Google for example. They can support massive engineer salaries because the fixed costs for every additional customer served does not scale linearly with engineers required to support them.

Taxi companies cannot compete with Uber not just because of subsidies, but because their apps, experience, UI, all suck. They suck because they are doing by hand manually what Uber et al does with software. Look how universally reviled taxi companies are.

...except the everyday stuff shown in your link indeed contains substantial 本わさび as a first ingredient, whereas the typical stuff sold in the US[1] is effectively just 西洋わさび and happens to be explicitly labeled "For external Japan" (despite also being manufactured in Japan) for reasons.

In other words, a consumer in Japan who settles on "close enough" isn't really making an equivalent compromise as a consumer in the US.

How does sales tax fit in? If you buy the car, you have to pay sales tax on the whole thing right? I don't think that happens on a lease. And when you sell it, that buyer has to pay sales tax too right? And if that buyer is a dealer, then the next real customer has to pay sales tax again right? So sales tax reduces the liquidity and efficiency of selling cars, with no negative effect on leasing. This gets worse and worse the shorter the period of time. skolos owned 6 Teslas in several years, so this would be a big factor.

If you live in a state with no sales tax, then you avoid this problem.

> I wonder if Thanksgiving dinners are equally so contentious as they are cherished because of how rare family dinners have become. People aren’t just used to being stuck together with family at home at one table like that anymore.

I think it has more to do with extended family whom you don’t ordinarily see; from the stories I’ve heard, there’s usually one obnoxious uncle who picks stupid arguments or someone like that.
> I prefer gas. At least where I live it's more cost effective than electric. In fact, my electric bill in my 1 bedroom apartment (all heating was electric) was just a tad lower than my gas + electric when I moved into a much bigger house.

Doesn't this prove the opposite of your point that gas is more cost-effective than electricity? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but the last sentence seems to illustrate that electricity is more cost-efficient.
I guess it makes sense for cars that there's a shortage of but you're still able to get. In a normal market I don't think it makes sense.

Still, it probably would have been more profitable to keep driving just 1 Tesla, and sell the other Teslas as essentially new as soon as you got them.
You’re right. There are more productive ways to convey the same message.

I couldn't find the UN report that they got their chart from. However, they only said "providing adequate calories and nutrients", which is a low bar.

I'm guessing 1.5kg of dry white rice can be found for around $1, and that covers the "calorie" needs. The rest of the budget can be spent on vegetables, nuts, beans, lentils, etc. to cover the "nutrients". It would be a pretty sad diet, but I think you could hit the numbers they're looking for.

> In 2016, 87.3 percent of food and beverage purchases by U.S. consumers, including both grocery store and eating out purchases, were from domestic production. The remaining 12.7 percent were reimported food and beverages such as produce from Chile or wines from France. Imports’ share of the U.S. food and beverage dollar has almost doubled over the last two decades from 6.9 percent in 1993, due in part to growing demand by U.S. consumers for year-round fresh produce options and increasing global trade in food and beverages. Imported inputs are used in U.S. food and beverage production, and their share of the U.S. food and beverage dollar has also risen. Imported inputs used by U.S. food companies and restaurants include both food inputs, such as avocadoes from Mexico and cranberries from Canada, and non-food inputs such as natural gas and foreign-made restaurant equipment. In 2016, imported inputs used in domestically produced food and beverages accounted for 4.7 percent of the U.S. food and beverage dollar, up from 3.7 percent in 1993. [0]

The data doesn't suggest "a majority", but approximately half of the fruit and a third of the vegetables are imported. When you look at the data, these imports occur out of season domestically.

NixOS recently switched the default from docker to podman for containers. I don't know if it's Nix's configuration, or a problem with Podman itself, but it's unusable. The systemd service often hangs, creating networks errors out, the pod concept doesn't work great, requiring tearing down the whole group of containers to change port mappings, and it acts like a completely different system depending on the user running the container (though I suppose this last bit is supposedly a feature). Why isn't the list of images global to the machine? Perhaps I just don't get it yet.

On the other hand, as a Thai food lover, I can honestly say I've never had Pad Thai that either tasted the same or was even prepared the same between restaurants.

Whole peanuts, halves, crushed, peanut butter? Mixed in or on top? Egg or no egg. Same with cilantro. How wide of noodles? Etc.

I try not to be picky so just ask for Pad Thai, Thai spicy. Usually good, but definitely not consistent.

A chain like say, Applebees will at least give consistently OK food that tastes about the same across restaurants, IMO.

I've got a similar thing. I wrote a bespoke time-series database in Rust a few years ago, and it has had exactly one issue since I stood it up in production, and that was due to pessimistic filesystem access patterns, rather than the language. This thing is handling hundreds of thousands of inserts per second, and it's even threaded.

Given that I've been programming professionally for over a decade in Python, Perl, Ruby, C, C++, Javascript, Java, and Rust, I'll pick Rust absolutely any time that I want something running that I won't get called at 3 AM to fix. It probably took me 5 times as long to write it as if I did it in Go or Python, but I guarantee it's saved me 10 times as much time I would have otherwise spent triaging, debugging, and running disaster recovery.

I see entrepreneur types reading (or at least recommending) books which are visibly “beneficial”. As in the premise of the book is that you’ll get some kind of immediate “profit” out of it. Those books are always on the lines of “Do X in Y way”, or “Best X” or something that’s just typical self-help book but dressed in philosophy and that “deep thinking” thingie (whateverthat means; as if fiction writers wrote thinking shallow).

Anyway such lists are very depressing to look at. Feels like you were expecting a diverse spread at the meal table and all you got was make believe chips, and biscuits made of pure plastic which you’re maybe just supposed to chew on for sometime and then spit out — you do that because others do that and well it’s the fashion.
