Competition.

GCC had laughably bad error messages before LLVM caught on. Even then, LLVM generated terrible code compared to GCC. There's a similar competition going on with open source linkers (which are finally going multi-threaded).

Both compiler toolchains currently blow pre-LLVM GCC out of the water (and GCC development has noticeably accelerated since LLVM came out).

I'm not sure which one is better at which C++ thing these days, but I'll bet GCC Rust will beat LLVM Rust at some important things in a few years (and then vice versa).

They refer to Steam DRM, which a lot of games use, not just their own. Of course that doesn't solve the issue for games that use some other DRM or that for some reason require some servers to run.

Blockbuster is old enough that they probably didn't have "central servers" as such, more like a local area terminal network that you'd manually update with CSV files when needed.
This isn't true. Even a robust immune system cannot prevent disease at large enough doses of virus because the immune system takes time to execute at any level of robustness. Similarly, a small enough dose will not necessarily cause disease, because the immune system can recognize the virus and eliminate it before it can replicate significantly. This is actually a time-based race: the speed of which the immune system can react vs the speed in which the virus can replicate in the body.
Doesn't that get - at least in part - compensated by the oil/gas exports?

This is only strictly true if you're talking about television. The analog nature of film and its degradation along with the imperfection of human memory mean we can't really know for sure exactly how, for example, Lawrence of Arabia looked on the big screen in its contemporary transfers. But it was definitely better than anything seen on a television prior to at least 1080p if not 4k.
It's been improving in a lot of distros recently but it used to be that the default proportional font on most Linux distros was Vera Sans or DejaVu sans which always drove me nuts because of how wide the glyphs of those fonts are compared to just about any UI font used in commercial operating systems in the past two or three decades. It was enough of a peeve that when it came to Linux distros, I used to be inclined toward Ubuntu and Ubuntu variants for the simple fact that they had Ubuntu Sans, a much better UI font, preinstalled.

Well, arguably you don’t know whether they violate uniqueness, so inserting more than one shouldn’t have been allowed.
wow this is pretty interesting stuff thanks for the link. I'm not sure why I get such a negative response to my question since I'm seriously asking and not sure I should be concerned if this is like a alan turing enigma type of situation we're dealing with.

There's a lot of very nasty, bad-faith arguments in this thread, and you seem to be involved in almost all of them. It is time to take a step back and consider what this kind of derailing does to the quality of discussion overall.

The point is obvious to anyone even tangentially following the israel-palestine conflict: Israel is a close ally to the us and heavily supported by them in their brutal occupation of Palestine.
I mean maybe, sure? I don't think that's their end goal, as their main purpose is to have a gcc version for gcc folks, whether it's faster or slower than llvm isn't a goal though. I think first goal is to get it done and stable and forces in place to keep up with the ever updating Rust spec(s). It would also allow for a much wider number of platforms as gcc compiler is much higher coverage of platforms especially legacy ones.
> To tell someone how they should be doing their job, I find, is disrespectful.

You are taking things too personally here. As a consultant I have been working fairly regularly in the past few years on large software projects for some of my customers. That has involved being in charge of formally setting business requirements and negotiating price and schedule for scope modifications with their providers.

I will systematically challenge any provider planning for a few reasons:

- If they fold straight away, it’s a free win for me and I have children to feed.

- I will myself pad a planning when I am in the reverse position to give me leeway in negotiation and I don’t want to leave all of that on the table.

- Keeping a moderate amount of pressure on my providers will help me in futur negotiations. I want them to leave the table feeling I made some concessions.

- Having my providers be late is extremely advantageous for me. On large projects it’s a quasi-certainty that at some point they are going to complain about scope creeps or delays in writing the specs and ask for money. If they delivered late, I have something to push back with especially if penalties are involved.

- I am also systematically negotiating hard with companies which did themselves do it. If finding a price with your company was a pain, I am likely to retaliate on scope and schedule.

If you are strictly working on the technical side, you are probably not privy to most that. A significant part of what’s happening might not even be related to you or the quality of your estimation at all.
Since you haven't defined what "meaningful" is in this context or why it matters, this is impossible to engage with. It's a complaint that is intentionally vague so it can't be contradicted. No thanks.
What is the benefit of having multiple compilers for programming languages? Is there a scenario where a GCC compiled rust program would do something that an LLVM one can't do?

Doesn't this cause fragmentation in the rust ecosystem?

P.S.:I understand that people can work on any project they want. And I don't have the right to tell them not to. I'm just curious about the technical reasons for having multiple compilers.
There is a noisy contingent extremely proud of that fact for some bizzare reason. I can only hope they are an extreme minority.
WD and Seagate had abysmal quality in the eighties. Amstrad has badly burned and sued both. Amstrad won $90mil for Seagate , but failed to secure $141m win on appeal from WD.

Yes that was part of the joke also :)
I have considered all of those Monads and more when assessing that definition. The Maybe monad is in essence a Boolean wrapped around the base type (for which a value may be null but is part of the monoidal type nonetheless). The Either monad is another Boolean wrapped around the union of two types which itself a type. In all cases an operation on an object of the monoidal type will mutate the wrapper type but not the wrapped type which always stays the same. The List monad is even simpler, it's a linked list, so the wrapper contains another successor list which may be empty but of the same type and a value of the current type with mapping being an operation that maps function in the base type into functions on the monoidal type. The State monad is obvious. The Parser monad typically wraps around some form of string which is partially parsed and then contains an element or a list thereof of the parsed type such that operations on the string type yield a partial parse. The Reader and Writer Monads are obvious.

This type of intuition always works on Monads. If you want to learn more about it I'd recommend to learn about the relationship between the Kleisli Triple and the monad. In reality this way of understanding this is just an intuition of how the Kleisli Triple works and how it is an equivalent to the traditional representation of the monad.
To share my anecdote, the place where I work often pits engineers' solutions/estimates against eachother and then picks & promotes the "fastest" one. Never mind that typically these faster estimates typically overrun to make them equal in retrospect, oh and come with bugs and needed improvements that will only be "discovered" by customers over the next 24 months...

Yes, playing it as a kid I remember one pretty common thing to do was to make movements that made it easy for your opponent to get confused about whether a piece was that known piece or something else. Not the whole strategy but take that piece out and you definitely change the game I would think relative to typical human play. Especially in the context of it normally being more of a kids game.

My global observation is that sometimes certain kinds of countries, e.g. Uruguay, India, or Finland, are more agile at adopting new technology than certain two-tiered monoliths like the USA. Since they are often integrating technologies from a mix of themselves, USA, and EU, even China, it must have something to do with how strongly-rooted the previous existing technology was.

In my travels through Latin America it seems like a continental custom to go to the park downtown to use WiFi while sipping the local morning stimulant beverage.
An updated draft was just released last week:

* https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-irtf-cfrg-opaque
> There's very little talk of blockchains without the crypto tokens attached

There's very little talk of financial systems without the dollars attached.

Parties needs incentive to keep operating the chains. These vary. Many are financial.
> Sentencing has always had unprovable stuff considered. Your friends and family will come in to tell what a wonderful person you are, none of it verifiable and often entirely bullshit.

True, but I see a bigger problem with sentencing being based on conduct that the defendant was acquitted of. The concept is supposed to be that if you were acquitted, you didn't commit the crime.
"Except there isn’t a centralized actor manipulating the supply and issuance" and "distributed to block producers as a reward" are mutually exclusive

> So a single BTC will be worth millions in 50 years, got it.

If bitcoin (or any other supply-limited coin) remains popular for such an extended period of time: yes, yes it will. And not necessarily millions in relation to other currencies. Even within itself. It's limited.

Example: "The Solana Foundation has announced that a total of 489 million SOL tokens will be released in circulation. At the moment, about 260 million of these have already entered the market."

There are 9 billion people in the world. By the very definition of a limited coin whoever got hold of the initial supply will be richer (in Solana) than anyone who didn't get there in time. Forget 50 years from now. Already now there aren't enough coins in circulation.
Seems like it would be easy to test. See how the AI does when revealed pieces stay revealed compared to a standard game.

Also, given this is online competitive play likely that a significant portion of top human players are cheating and have aides to keep track of pieces.

We had "coding standards," and if you didn't code it to the right format, you'd get fussed at. I didn't start professionally until the mid 90s, so I'm a little younger than the OP. I've been coding since the mid 80s though as a youngster.

> Are you suggesting that children can't learn these skills from adults

It is well established that normal development REQUIRES contact with other children. Any specialist in early childhood development or education will tell you this. I'm in no way an expert here, but I've never once seen an expert claim that adult contact substitutes for peer contact in developing these skills.
As someone who is on the side interacting with auditors, it's pretty obvious they don't know what they're talking about. I've filled out numerous questionnaires where the questions themselves don't make sense, however, the auditors usually don't have the technical knowledge.

The whole process is frustrating because these certifications are supposed to improve security and usually they create busy-work that takes resources away from developing/implementing security.

No actually, I wasn't.

Filtering out the breathless commentary, the actual proposals don't seem that bad...? Certainly no worse than GDPR obligations and nowhere near the kind of regulatory compliance industries like Manufacturing, Construction and Medicine have to meet.

TBF, it's not just those in power; there are differences between nations (in terms of both culture and rights perceptions), and a lot of policies like these have popular support as well.

From the American point of view, the entire EU has bought into something very heavy-handed in terms of the GDPR, but IIUC the GDPR is pretty popular in the UK (though full compliance with it technically requires one not even run a default-configured Apache server).

What makes you think that "every major city was destroyed"? Kiev has been saved, all cities west of it, Odessa is still defended (the Russians aren't very close to it). But indeed the Russians destroyed the cities they conquered in the east.
And yes, a lot of Ukrainians sought and found refuge in the EU. That doesn't mean they emigrated.
Are you aware of how rule of law works? There was no conclusive proof that anyone were murdered in this whole case. The justice system does not work on baseless accusations and it's a good thing your bias isn't going to affect it.

If you can clean your kitchen/bathroom properly, and you can follow the instructions to bake a loaf of bread, you can almost certainly follow some of the simpler procedures.

During the fruiting phase, things are pretty easy. Once the substrate is colonized you sort of just take the lid off of your fruiting chamber, mist it with a sprayer, and wave the lid at it to blow the excess CO2 out. Once a day. That's what this $299 box does for you.

The part that's akin to baking bread is the initial media preparation and inoculation. You need to measure your media, hydrate it, put it in a hot thing (bread:oven::mycoculture media:pressure canner) for the requisite number of minutes. My first mycoculture attempts were far more successful than my first attempts at breadmaking.

Just as another data point, I managed to finish and kind of enjoy Gravity's Rainbow, accepting that I just couldn't understand everything and just go along for the (rocket) ride. Only after finishing it I read some notes and interpretations online.

But I tried several times reading or listening to The Brothers Karamazov and I didn't manage to finish it, I felt out of touch with the characters, their little lives and foibles weren't interesting, the tone felt dry and didactic, and there was no "fun" mystery to keep me hooked.

This was weird because I did manage to finish and ultimately like Crime & Punishment several years earlier.

However like you said, this was back before I had my current job. I wouldn't be able to read any of them today, I think, I'd lose motivation.

We had it through negative liberty, opposed to positive liberty. The approach was that everything was permitted except that which is forbidden.

So, instead of a 'right to' free speech, rather we _would_ have no laws restricting freedom of speech (libel and incitement excepted). This was the understanding that would've permeated Parliament, the courts, the palace, and the hearts and minds of everyone who understood it.

More or less, until 1997.

Not sure I agree with it. I think you get a lot of Asian kids passing because they teach a lot of advanced things in their education system that are just beyond the curriculum in the West. Thus when it comes time to ask the clever questions, some kids already know the answer.

I think in general people who know the answer to something misjudge how hard it is to figure out from first principles.
