If prototyping speed and time-to-market are important, better choose a different language: one with a garbage collector.

This applies to most startups.
Re: skill churn

I got the impression that there is much less of this in lower level languages. It seems like there is a fairly stable foundation of C, Cpp that everything else is built on top of. I wonder if embedded programmers have this problem.

I don't follow this. The articles use blood serum concentrations of Vitamin D in their methodology, are you saying there is a separate Vitamin D production/concentration in the eye's vitreous?
I think this is concerning and a misunderstanding of human and geopolitical behaviour.

Once some of the EUs more insane policies are forced on countries the desire to leave will spread.

Exactly. People stopped voting for UKIP when the Tories took on UKIP's 'policies'.
right, and they're going back once the situation in their home country stabilizes, correct?
Because nowadays vast majoritie of „refugees“ are not refugees in a classic sense.

E.g. my country had thousands of „refugees“ hoping over border from Belarus last year. Last time I saw statistics, not even 1% was eligible for „refugee“ status. Even skipping the part that, according to international law, refugee is legit for the first safe country.
What happens when/if their asylum application gets denied though? At least in France they don't get forced to leave and they find themselves in a strange grey area.

And all of these points so the Prime Idiots can remain in power. Brexit: promised by Cameron because he was scared of nationalist UKIP's rise. The years of Tory austerity and blaming foreigners for the lack of jobs didn't help him win the vote (he preferred Remain).

And now the middle finger to the NI protocol, which is just the current Prime Idiot's move to gather support from the "Fuck the EU!" members of his party so he can again, remain in power, free to booze, fuck around, and taking donations for apartment renovations...
I started watching it, but the whole thing turned me off because they took two fantastic women involved at NASA - Margaret Hamilton and Poppy Northcut, and combined them into one character that in the several episodes I saw was trending towards being a love interest.

Have you ever wondered what a "moved-from" object [0] in C++ contains? In Rust, such objects are inaccessible due to enforcement of the compiler. In C++, they are accessible. Have you ever wondered what performance implications that has? Have you looked into what the C++ standard tells us about "moved-from" STL objects, what state they are in?

[0] e.g. `b = std::move(a)`, what is in `a` now?
I'm having the same issue. My searched phrase was two words very simple "Judge not" for reference. I'll check back later, curious how this looks and behaves overall.
It's not really seismic though, is it? Both options in each referendum were reasonable, there's plenty of countries in the EU and plenty out that do well, plenty have left the Britain and done well, those in the UK are doing fine.

I didn't like the scare tactics in either campaign on either side (though the status quo sides' in each were notably more on the scare side). I see it as an excuse from those who would take any excuse they can.
secession from a union that is not representing your interests is valid.

this was the case for brexit, why is it different for scotland?
With any country splitting, who is it who should be voting to split the country?

Just those in the smaller part that is 'leaving'? Or the whole country?

If just the smaller part, does that mean any tiny town can 'vote to be independent'?
Given that my statement is factually true and the other is factually false, I'd suggest you are imposing your own bias on that.
And Scotland would be voting for independence so it could join the EU.
Cornwall is one of the poorest areas in the United Kingdom and London is one of the richest. So not too similar in that respect.

Success is a different question, but the point made that most economists accept Scotland 'could' do it. Wales not so much.

We are discussing politics right now :)
It is all complicated, but have you had a look lately how complicated brexit is? So I'd say we're at the point where it's about picking which kinds of complications you prefer.

I don't think it's a fact - this article[1] explains a lot of the complications around ownership. Currently it's taxed as part of the UKCS (UK Continental Shelf) and assignments of operation are part of the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA)[2] which doesn't consider any particular region of the UK as owners, but as part of a whole regional area instead.

As a Chinese, it is not surprising to see that the "offshore balance" policy and separatism buried by Britain in the world has brought harm to itself. In Chinese philosophy, this is called fate 轮回(reincarnation).
More directly, Northern Ireland is where the king of the English nation once sent the peoples of England to colonize the lands of the Irish nation. These peoples thus settled have remained culturally distinct as the favored elites of the ruling colonial power, and are presently the majority in the area, which is why the area did not join with greater Ireland during Irish independence.

The people of Northern Ireland today tend to want either continued union with the kingdom ruling Great Britain, or union with the rest of Ireland — depending whether their families are of British origin or Irish. The thought of post-Brexit passport control and customs for travel between the territories comprising Northern Ireland and either Great Britain or Ireland is thus a major political football (far worse in the case of the border with Ireland, because it is a land border and that requires walls.)

What's described in your link is not a game without restrictions. It's a game where the RNG was reverse-engineered so that the bot could get 90 wishes and ascend easily. So it's hacking the game, rather than playing the game.

The tournament in the NetHack Challenge is a bunch of bots playing the game in an ordinary manner. There is no comparison between the two things.

Actually, I think Rust is a godsend to startups for the following reasons: 1.) startups rarely have time, expertise or budget for extensive unit tests, mock-up tests, UI-automation tests or paid third-party Q/A services, 2.) software product users these days have a strong tendency never to submit bug reports or work with product support, but instead just leave negative reviews and/or just move on to the competition, 3.) when an MVP actually does get a chance to grow in size and complexity, startups hit the growing pains of efficient problem report accumulation, recognition (troubleshooting, often with a non-technical third-party), prioritization and resolution.

Every programmer who has ever maintained a product of 100,000+ lines-of-code will tell you the same thing: shift as much responsibility as possible on the compiler (and the API consumption boundaries). Fixing code due to a bug with memory management, unexpected mutation, multi-threading, etc. will cost you 10 times the effort required to write that code in the first place.

Just IMHO.
For the sake of balance see my other reply on this topic. ;-)

> By this reasoning, it's irresponsible for a leader of a country that is not the US, to pin its economy on this "funny money" that it cannot print, but that others can.

Yes, yes indeed. That is a terrible idea. Though there are circumstances when it might not be the most terrible of terrible ideas and the alternative is worse. But no sane country that is not already in dire straits should do that.
I know quite a few people who blindly dumped cash they couldn't afford to lose into crypto.

At this point they are trying to "program" in Woke. That's why they are shutting this stuff down.
You're right that with regards to memory management, using Java over Rust doesn't make me any more nervous. The things I really miss are at the type level. Small things like the compiler forcing you to be explicit about mutability. Large things like Rust enums and pattern matching which make it easy to model complex workflows without worrying about missing any cases.

Let me also make clear that I like the direction Java is moving (even if is taking decades) For example, something I look forward to in Java is pattern matching on switch expressions, which just got added as a preview feature in the latest LTS.
That's not how the EU works. EU is driven by compromises between states. When a compromise is hard politically (like common debt was during Grexit) it gets shelved until a crisis rebalances things and a new compromise can be reached (as it was with common debt during Covid).

So basically, if fiscal transfers are needed at some point to rebalance debt, we will get to that point and the EU will compromise again. Is there risk in this approach? absolutely, but it's pragmatic and based on a democratic process (the public opinions of all member states) rather than dogmatic based on some red/blue ideology/political split where compromise is unreachable, as in the US.

In other words, even if the article is right, I don't necessarily see the trap; it's a trap now, based on current compromises. Those are (thankfully) elastic, as it's been demonstrated many times in recent history.
I mean Canada has been corrupted by Chinese money (see Vancouver home prices recently?) and has a pro-CCP member of the government in British Colombia.

They can seek asylum in or from Rwanda then, right? I mean, it’s not like they are trying to immigrate to UK, they are just running for their lives, so safety in Rwanda should be good enough, no?
I don't know why this is downvoted. If Scotland becomes independent then Scotland and the UK will probably be the most similar countries in the world.

When you are very close, small differences can seem much larger and more important than they really are.

> Are you so sure that work is really important?

Like, I understand your position, but the way everyone goes about "de-Googling" or avoiding other big tech products makes it very clear it is useful and important.

Everyone always writes their blog posts about how to switch to alternate services for everything company X does, instead of writing letters to the editor about how notebooks and typewriters, paper letters and day planners, physical photos and public radio, printed maps and encyclopedias are all you need.

Online maps, internet search, email, word processing, spreadsheets, mobile and desktop operating systems, compilers and IDEs, music and video streaming, cloud file and photo storage... people use them. You can have your problems with the way the business is run and the fraction of the internet that is ad supported, but it doesn't change that it feels good to work on a thing that millions of people will use and get value out of and maybe even like.
Yep, but "all the other scams" are not as newsworthy as "the new thing"

>I've been a driver for improving developer best practices on every team I've worked on. Not everything has always stuck, but I've found that processes that can be automated tend to have high rates of success, and processes that rely on humans tend to be sidestepped. I spoke to a coworker from a previous job last night who told me that some of the process fixes I made as a cog in the wheel have survived 2 years without me there. All is not lost!

Yeah, it's just a matter of trying to pick those horses that seem likely to stick around, or that actually make like easier. Ansible is one of those; the CICD process and everything around it is not. We've changed out container platform 3 times in 3 years, and just kicked off a project to change it a 4th time, while also opening up some public cloud access if it can be justified. It's chaos.

There was also a push to build a lot of home-grown tools over the last 3-5 years. All of that is being ripped out in favor of vendor provided solutions.

The primary things that seem to stick around are the snowflakes, as sad as that is. The only teams that don't seem stressed by all that change are the ones who just do their own thing. I fought the good fight, jumping the latest and greatest stuff for over a decade and trying to put systems in place to get others to buy in as well, but I'm tired and this latest crop of tools seemed like they were destine for failure from day one.
As a Welsh secessionist, I can't for the life of me square the idea of wanting to leave union that for all its massive faults is at least something you can understand and engage with, to replace that by joining a union that is distant, more artificial and certainly more vague and impenetrable to the common person.

Why would you leave economic and political dominance by Westminster with no control over the economics of your borders (the capital flows, the tax loopholes, the destabilising and exploitative 'investment', the primacy of trade which leads to the all encompassing trade for trade's sake, the depopulation of youth) to instead give that control up to Frankfurt and Brussels?

I think we (Scotland, and Wales) should define what we want to do first and why and where we want to go / want to be. Then in some cases trade agreements will be useful to promote these goals. but they have to be tightly controlled and compensated for.

There's a saying about the UK's far right parties (the likes of UKIP, National Front (1) etc) that in the long run it's not a winning proposition, as the Tories can always adopt the same rhetoric, and they always have better suits.

This has indeed happened.

Immigration enforcement raids against mostly black/brown people. Putting them on flights to countries they left as infants. Sending asylum seekers to Rwanda for "processing". Sending British citizens to the Carribean because we were too disorganised to issue them passports in the 50s.

The Tory party has absorbed the UKIP/EDL/etc vote. It rules by populism alone at this stage.

> But the point is this: in an independent Scotland, crucial decision-making power will rest with the people who live here – not with Westminster governments that do not command the support of people in Scotland, and which pursue policies, for example, Brexit, that are deeply damaging to Scotland's interests.

So, the Scots don't want that the people who make the decisions would be in Westminster — they want the people who make the decisions to be in ... Brussels, Strasbourg and Hague?
There should really be a surplus of software developers. Most companies are solving problems they don't have, employing a team of 10x more developers than they need - because of course microservices, Kafka, Kubernetes, you name it - cargo culting the shit out of it.

Especially given the SNP rightly said that the brexit vote was a con with no substance
In principle, yes. But bear in mind that Rust doesn't depend on a runtime, and compiles to LLVM IR, so what it depends on to run on the target system is a lot less than something like PHP, Python, or JS. So to really end up in deep shit the LLVM project would also have to fizzle together with Rust.

And given how some 'big names' in tech are getting more and more involved in Rust and opting to write core low-level stuff in it, I'm not terribly worried about Rust and LLVM fizzling to the point where I have to worry about any of that. I mean, it is orders of magnitude less of an issue than depending on Node.
Speaking of being misled, we were pretty much promised by the Scottish nationalists that this was a once in a generation choice. Seems we voted wrong the last time so here we are again with all the uncertainty to go with it.

Though right now I want the second referendum as it's probably the best way to end the uncertainty that SNP causing
The problem with this idea has been the same for 40 years: unlike in other fields of engineering in Software there is no bedrock of empirical science from which we can derive objective, reasonable standards. It is all opinion in CS and no doubt the most obnoxious, useless methodologists would be the ones with the strongest opinions about how others should build things.
> Scotland is assuming the EU would want them

The EU is currently negotiating with Albania, North Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro to join[0]. Is there something these countries have which an independent Scotland wouldn't?

> with the SNP in power in Scotland, it makes it hard for the UK to have any other government but the tories.

All of Scotland's population could have voted for Labour in the last three elections and it wouldn't have been enough to take Labour over the line. As it turns out they didn't and appear to have moved on to a mixture of SNP, LD and CON. I would invite you to think about precisely why Scotland have abandoned the Labour party in recent years if you want some insight as to that state of affairs.

[0] - technically Turkey as well, but that appears to be stalled
It wasn't loaded. It was a genuine question. Did it backfire?

I voted remain. But the brexiteer argument was that the EU is NOT just a trading bloc and has conspiratorial designs on further reduction in national sovereignty. Indeed the EU commission are seeking this right now and have plans to campaign for it.

The remain campaigners and media denied this. They denied even that the EU wanted a military.

The responses to my question indicate that these people support further reductions in national sovereignty to be handed over to EUP and EUC. Tax setting powers and foreign policy powers included.

It literally proves the Brexit supporters correct.
Finally someone who actually reviews my code. Or will I be the code reviewer?
Interesting that NASA is now pursuing something similar right now. I wonder if some of the then junior engineers started work on this back then and were cut off by Nixon to work on the space shuttle and have now climbed into a position of power and want to complete that initial work they started.

Or I could be reading way too much into this.
I agree. It needs more standardized tooling and libraries. But as a language it does not need anything more right now. Not even pattern matching. But some small touches here and there could be good.
Rust is the one ring to rule them all. Embedded? Got it. Huge web app? No problem… straight to wasm.

It’s hard to imagine a problem outside of machine learning (where library support is all that matters) where I’d ever feel a desire to use anything else.

Other languages feel primitive, slow and/or unreliable after using rust for a while.
