Your argument ignores nearly all of the factors involved with dosage -- most notably tolerance. Tolerance reduces perceived effectiveness, requiring increased dosage to achieve the desired psychological results. People regulate their consumption to that psychological effect, but the negative physical effects do not share the same curve.

Not to mention the vast difference between what it says on the label and what you may actually be consuming -- the testing and labeling processes are rather notorious for being inaccurate. Even for an avid smoker, it's virtually impossible to consume the exact appropriate dosage, if there even were such a thing. There's also social pressures which encourage people to consume larger amounts. The list goes on and on.

So, what you're suggesting as being the obvious negator of the expert opinions of medical professionals, simply has no foundation in reality.

A meta point to make here but I don’t quite understand the pushback that Rust has gotten. How often does a language come around that flat out eliminates certain errors statically, and at the same time manages to stay in that low-level-capable pocket? And doesn’t require a PhD (or heck, a scholarly stipend) to use? Honestly that might be a once in a lifetime kind of thing.

But not requiring a PhD (hyperbole) is not enough: it should be Simple as well.

But unfortunately Rust is (mamma mia) Complex and only pointy-haired Scala type architects are supposed to gravitate towards it.

But think of what the distinction between no-found-bugs (testing) and no-possible-bugs (a certain class of bugs) buys you; you don’t ever have to even think about those kinds of things as long as you trust the compiler and the Unsafe code that you rely on.

Again, I could understand if someone thought that this safety was not worth it if people had to prove their code safe in some esoteric metalanguage. And if the alternatives were fantastic. But what are people willing to give up this safety for? A whole bunch of new languages which range from improved-C to high-level languages with low-level capabilities. And none of them seem to give some alternative iron-clad guarantees. In fact, one of their selling point is mere optionality: you can have some safety and/or you can turn it off in release. So runtime checks which you might (culturally/technically) be encouraged to turn off when you actually want your code to run out in the wild, where users give all sorts of unexpected input (not just your “asdfg” input) and get your program into weird states that you didn’t have time to even think of. (Of course Rust does the same thing with certain non-memory-safety bug checks like integer overflow.)

Reasonable people do adjust their consumption if they want to. You can tell when something is very potent before it harms you, whether it's inhaled weed or alcohol.

Now teens don't always behave as reasonable adults. The best thing to do is to educate them on the topic of drugs.

Yep! We've entered a grey areas, where some Rust embedded libs are expanding the definitions of memory safety, and what the borrow checker should evaluate beyond what you might guess. Eg, structs that represent peripherals, that are now checked for ownership; the intent being to prevent race conditions. And Traits being used to enforce pin configuration.

the real question is who is more productive when watched over vs. who is less productive when watched over? I'm certainly in the second category. Depends on a lot of factors, I'd guess.

Certainly, most managers won't know which category their workers are in, so why should they decide who's coming into the office and who not? I think the solution lies in trusting the team, so much so that the team says something if one team member is not executing; so that measures can be taken (hopefully measures where everyone benefits; even the lagging team member).
That has nothing to do with anything I wrote. And doesn't contradict it actually.

If Ukraine had been in NATO, Russia wouldn't have invaded.

They did because Ukraine was in the verge of joining, knowing that once it was done, they would not be able to attack anymore.

Plus, NATO being historically a shield, not a sword, Russia stance was basically the equivalent of stating "to look for safety or we kick your ass".

> How else would digital media / sale of MP3's work without licences? Is the author suggesting that everyone should legally be able to freely transfer/distribute their MP3's to anyone with no legal limit?

What would be wrong with the same first sale doctrine that applies to physical instances of digital media (such as CDs) ?

CD: You buy it, you are free to resell it to someone else; you are not free to make copies.

Digital data only: You buy it, you can resell it someone else (0); you are not free give additional copies to anyone else (1)

(0) not likely to happen
(1) you can of course make your own copies, eg. for backup or across devices

Would enforcing such a legal structure be possible? Yes and no. Everyone knows that once you could rip CDs, the legal structure for that format was already severely challenged by people's actual behavior, so there's nothing particularly new there.

Yandex provides many services, it's much like google - maps, translation, drive, mail etc. etc. Bringing it down would cripple many private and economic activities. Russia can't sustain waging wars if they don't have an economy and disgruntled population.

With the exception of VK, there isn't really any step-in competition to Yandex. Even if there was, losing all your data in e.g. mail/drive will have significant consequences.

fall or drop straight down at high speed.

If you google "satellite plummeting", you'll notice that almost all of the results also include "fireball", "burning up" and/or "reentry".

On a nominal basis Russia's economy is less than half Germany's and not much larger than Australia's. On PPP basis it's closer to Germany, but the industries of all three countries depend on foreign imports (Russia's especially) so PPP is less useful when considering industrial production.

RE missiles and civilians (Non-US person here with a few questions):

I've never really understood why citizens in the US aren't allowed these items, if the fundamental purpose of the 2nd Amendment is to allow the citizenry to fight tyranny then why aren't the citizens allowed the appropriate arms to do so?
How are the laws that allow the US gov to exclude citizens from owning these not 'un-constitutional'?
I imagine the answer probably lies somewhere in the "too much risk for accidents or deliberate hostile use" territory.

I hope this isn't inflammatory, not my intention, given what we continue to see re mass shootings, and the gun control proposals that happen afterwards it seems a bit like you have the worst of both worlds.

Put differently, there are enough citizen firearms with enough firepower to facilitate individuals attacking soft targets with horrendous effect but not enough firearms or firepower for civilians to actually have any remotely likely potential of defeating a tyrannical US military (or even police force).

I would imagine that the scenario is simply reuse of some buffer without clearing it, maybe in an attempt to save on allocations. It can happen across so many (even safe) languages. It doesn't matter what guarantees you have around uninitialised memory if you're reusing an initialised buffer yourself.
I put c:\tools in my path, then put shortcuts to all my tools in there (ie: shortcut to AgentRansack named ar).
Now, I pull up the run command (WND+R) type ar and agent ransack opens.
sorry i should have been crisper in my language - there is the new AR async queries (which as you correctly said is a totally different thing). And then there is separately fibered support in activerecord, which will allow the use of the async library for co-op concurrency.

Yeah I dont expect single path performance gain, what i'm hopeful for is more concurrency for the same memory across a large pool of web workers in a high scale app. Thus saving a bunch of $$$

> Regardless, THC negatively impairs learning,[...] particular when it comes to memory and retention.

This is true, and I believed it without caveat until I was in my 30s, and met a very productive programmer who smoked when they studied. Learning under the influence of cannabis is just something that has to be practiced, and since people rarely study stoned, they rarely get to that point. After you've realized this, cannabis just allows you to study longer and more imaginatively.

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't had the example, and the practice that I used was playing the game minesweeper under the influence. I do feel that I might have ruined some of the joy in being stoned, I never feel as out of control or confused as I could feel before, but I'm now of the belief that this was weird cultural baggage. When you're intoxicated, society gives you permission to be out of control, so you feel that.

I've always known people who drank for the impunity. The kind of people who start saying and doing unforgivable shit and slurring their speech after the first can of O'Doul's.

> where wave function collapse just means a contract that has different terms for a digital purchase instead of a physical purchase

That's not what the article states. The author is saying that the same transaction - IE: my 'buying' a track on iTunes, for example - is considered a license transfer, between me and the record company, and a sale, between the record company and the artist.

This superposition of license and sale for the same transaction is collapsed into a license - so: no transfer rights, no right to make copies, etc. - when the record company it talking to me.

On the other hand - when the record company is talking to the artist - the superposition collapses to a sale, so the artist gets 13% of the value instead of the 50% they would get if it was a license sale.
The truth is definitely some mix of both of those things. There are cases where the borrow checker can't understand some code that everyone can agree should be allowed, and maybe a larger set of cases where there's some debate about what should be allowed. The 1.0 compiler was substantially worse about this, and the introduction of "nonlexical lifetimes" in 2018 was a major improvement, though there's still plenty more to do.

One of the reasons that "fighting the borrow checker" is such a common experience, is that it can be hard to tell the difference between cases like "this doesn't work because you forgot a small piece of syntax" vs "this doesn't work because you need a special helper type to make it work" vs "this doesn't work because fundamentally Rust will never allow this to work". For example, sharing objects between two threads often requires the `Arc<Mutex<...>>` pattern, which is a combination of two different helpers, and beginners who've never seen that combination before are very unlikely to discover it on their own. But once you have some experience with common patterns, and you know how to avoid writing code that will fundamentally never work, compiler errors are much more likely to be helpful.

A lot of people ultimately decide that "the compiler was right all along" and that their code is really better now that they've learned to satisfy the borrow checker. Personally, I think learning how to write Rust code is a helpful shortcut to learning how to write safe and correct C/C++, because the "borrow checker in your head" pushes you towards designs that work well in all three languages. But this is definitely a matter of opinion, not to mention extreme selection/survivorship bias, etc.
