I guess cppreference.com isn't even a part of the list?

I tried a couple test queries:

> lambda decay to function pointer c++

I get some FSF pages and the wikipedia for Helium?

> std function

I get... tons of Rust docs?

> std function c++

All rust docs? The wikipedia page for C++??

Interesting idea, but this seems like it would be the primary failure mode for an idea like this: as soon as you are researching outside of the curator's specializations, it doesn't have what you're looking for. Yet these results would both be fixed simply by adding cppreference.com to the index. Let's try and give it a real challenge:

If I read that right, that's not binding on any nation that actually has them, so it's about as effective as non-gun-owning Americans agreeing amongst themselves to continue to not own guns and to say "guns are bad" at those who do, a strategy which thus far has not resulted in the repeal of whichever amendment it is.
It's a probabilistic outcome. It's not "dumb luck," I always wear an N95 into any crowded indoor area, and only dine at outdoor restaurants. Sure I could have gotten it, but I achieved a better outcome on the risk-cost spectrum than most by yes, not being a complete fucking dumbfuck.
Nope, this isn’t true. If a kid comes to a hospital due to an accident and tests Covid positive and dies, that would not be counted. It is ultimately the judgment of the physician (as is the case for illnesses in general since a judgment is often needed to tie the proximate cause of death - say respiratory failure - to and underlying illness.

I don’t know about etiquette, but body language is generally not how I want to be viewed during a hiring process, on screen or in person. I’m not particularly talented at making appropriate eye contact, or not flailing inappropriately, or keeping my coffee mug from crashing on the floor. I’m very talented at engineering software. I’m sure many businesses would agree I’m not a good fit, and… well, too bad for them.
Fast chargers are unreliable mostly due to shoddy software and billing systems.

If we made a law that chargers must "fail free" - ie. Charge the car up first, worry about billing the customer later - then this problem would be resolved in a matter of weeks.
> Long covid, and greater impact on certain individuals were well known by that point.

"Long covid" is not defined. There is no test. There is no objective signature. Literally anyone can claim that they have it, and not be wrong. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but I'm telling you that we have no idea how prevalent "it" is, and we don't have any idea how "it" compares to the consequences of other common respiratory illnesses. We've simply never bothered to look, and uncontrolled studies where someone enumerates a long list of things that happened after Covid, in a large group of people, are not evidence of those things being caused by Covid.

Said differently: if you have a nearly ubiquitous illness, how can you say anything about causality regarding anything that follows?

So what we have here is a pile of questionable research, a large group of people who are scared and demanding that action be taken, and politicians who are more than willing to "take action" by pushing aside, censoring, and otherwise bullying the scientists who stand in the way of their actions.
FYI, Celestial grace in his letter meant the grace of Qing Emperor, and Celestial Court the Qing Government. Lin's perspective was pretty Qing-centric which was of course orthodox in his ideology. The letter reads so supercilious as if it were written by someone much worse than D. Trump. I doubt if the messenger had the guts to deliver or just burnt it silently.
Well if there was a vaccine that reduced the risk of dying from drowning I think you’d definitely want to add it to the childhood vaccination schedule. Again, death rate is not the only metric by which we decide what to vaccinate children for.
That comment is flagged so I can't see it.

That's not my intention! For all I know, he might actually be a scumbag (to borrow the term from our friend in this thread). I'm genuinely trying to understand the web3 space (you can look at my comment history), which is why I started this thread by asking about whether our friend was aware of the zero-knowledge proof thing.

The quibble over the "scumbag" name-calling is because I was surprised that our friend would feel comfortable calling someone a scumbag, when they, self-admittedly, don't understand how WorldCoin even works.
With the park and a plaque the ratio of good (park) to a I guess dopamine boost (plaque) is decidedly in favor of the good, orders of magnitude better. Let alone that the plaque is often in memory of someone close to the one making the donation.

In case of dominos the ratio is so much out of whack that the profit motive completely drowns the good.

> Then why do Google and DuckDuckGo return 90% garbage for most queries?

If you can give me a list of 10 normal-ish queries where 9 out of the first 10 results on Google or DDG are "garbage", then I'll concede your point.

I think you are creating an impossible standard for search engines, then using it to deem the current ones as failures. While at the same time ignoring that this new search engine is, as present, unusable with no realistic argument for why it might eventually be better.
The definition of a "world city" is arbitrary and pointless. No one cares.
What are you looking for in the 2 languages?
Here are some of my thoughts:

Golang

* Development speed: Golang wins by far. It's closer to Python in that regard, but with strong typing.

* Very nice multi-threading via Go routines and channels. Impressive semantics in simple syntax, requiring no synchronization mechanism on the user side.

* Large garbage collector penalty.

Rust

* Complete language with build system, crate, docs hosting.

* A lot more performance compared to Golang, on par with C++.

* Doctests (!).

* Slow to learn, slow to compile (probably not a deal-breaker, especially if you focus on microservices).

Concerning what would be a good usecase for Rust vs Golang, check this out:

But that's not what they said. They said that the masks wouldn't work for us plebes, that they would only work for trained professionals.

But it also meant a major loss of trust on every following thing they said.

Operating infrastructure responsibly is not a skill a lot of developers have and very different from just using infrastructure that is managed for you.

I've seen what proper ops teams look like and if you can afford one they are a great asset. 24x7 uptime with five nines is a bit of a myth in our industry. But if you are honest about what that means, it means that you need people with a clue available at any point that you can rely on to be there and to be skilled ready to fix your system when it needs fixing. That's effectively what you pay for with managed services. You'll get a nice resilient setup, backups, monitoring, and support from their expert ops team to help you with whatever.

Most small companies are just faking being very dependable and end up spending more on preventable outages and figuring out all sorts of weird shit than they save by self-hosting. I see startups wasting a lot of time on all sorts of silly things that are clearly far out of their comfort zone. Hosted infrastructure is cheap and dependable these days. Unless you can compete with that level of dependability, you should not be self hosting anything. The cost savings rarely add up to being meaningful. The expenses on the other hand are very substantial if you stop and think about it and acknowledge that the per hour cost of your developers quickly adds up to whatever you might actually spend on managed services.

Most teams I've worked with spend more on a single developer per month than on their cloud hosting. That's how it should be. Once your bills hit tens of thousands per month, you might want to look at optimizing some of that. But before that, have your developers focus on developing rather than trying to be an amateur ops team.

I actually do a lot of consulting related to Elasticsearch and I have dealt with some pretty hairy and misguided setups. By the time they talk to me, they've already wasted a lot of time, money and effort. Most teams I deal with have one or two people that know only a little bit about Elasticsearch. Enough to use it and benefit from it but then they still need me to tell them how to use it properly. So, clearly not enough to operate it responsibly. Even if I come in for just a few days, they'll spend more on me than years of hosting with Elastic Cloud would cost them.

>No, you don't. Only the most common combinations have their own Unicode number. Most combinations can simply be combined by base and accent ("Mark") numbers. Unicode is not that stupid.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters#Lat...

The most common being literally all of them.

Between Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, Latin Extended-B and Latin Extended Additional you have some 700 extra characters of which half are some type of accented letter. I only said you'd need 182 for the six most common European accents. Unicode somehow ends up using 300.

The only people who defend unicode are people who have never looked into the spec.

5. Demos and 1 pagers instead of slide decks

6. Something about shared services
Thanks. This is great feedback. We've written a blog post[0] about some of strategies developers are using to write relationships, but we haven't covered explicitly the failure scenarios.

For the scenario that you've described, you should be able to retry persisting the zedtoken, but if there's some fundamental reason that's not working, you can always perform a fully consistency check and persist the resulting value -- fresher zedtokens are always safe.

> the vaccine is simply suppressing immune response, which helps prevent the cytokine storm that led to severe disease.

"Response" is many different things. The vaccine boosts response b/c you have antibodies, so it's much less likely that your body has to do a hail mary las ditch (cytok storm).

> why so many governments have stopped publishing the case rate breakdowns by vax status.

But there's enough data out there to have a clear picture: vaccines or previous infections won't protect you from being infected by the recent strains (BA.2.75, BA.5, etc) but will protect you from severe disease or dying. Maybe it can be improved by nasal vaccines (what happened to those?) but who knows...

> It makes a kind of intuitive sense: if you make your own body produce some key portion of the virus, maybe your immune system gets tricked into thinking it's not such a big issue?

This one is completely off the mark. For starters, not all vaccines have your "body produce part of the virus", yet all help to prevent severe cases and death.
How "large" is the garbage collector penalty? My understanding is that the Go GC is significantly more efficient than for example JS's mark/sweep approach. Apples to oranges for sure, but I am interested in better understanding how expensive the Go GC is vs Rust performance.
That's a really great suggestion using Gimp. I agree, backend-locked is not ideal. I really appreciate the feedback, thank you!

I'm only three chapters in, and it's definitely the most enjoyable technical reading I've ever done because you learn so much, so quickly, and so easily.

> Very nice multi-threading via Go routines and channels. Impressive semantics in simple syntax, requiring no synchronization mechanism on the user side.

Except for all the times they are required and Go doesn’t tell you: https://eng.uber.com/data-race-patterns-in-go/

Go’s fundamental semantics are standard not-safe shared-memory multi threading. It provides an mpmc queue as a built-in out of necessity (since no generics originally, which would have made for an awkward situation), but really the only thing that’s notable about it is `select`, not `go` or `chan`.

In in some ways `go` is even a downgrade from other languages: you can’t get a handle on the goroutine and thus have to muck around with side-channels to even know that a subroutine has terminated let alone get its result.
OK, I am obviously talking about something that's been going on for years, and you dodge by mentioning a DA who just got elected.

I wrote that up because of how hard it is to even agree on what “left” means. I could agree with a characterisation of MSNBC as socially “progressive” but they’re fiscally “conservative” just like the majority of business focused news outlets. They push “individualist” views quite broadly along with the majority of business news by being (in general) anti-union, and they don’t really seem to have a fixed position on the authoritarian/libertarian axis (as in they don’t make the decision if it’s good or bad based on this axis)

Effectively I could agree with a characterisation of MSNBC as “left” if you want to define “left” as just “progressive”. Which feels like an oversimplification that hides the fact that when you look critically at the situation that broadly speaking news in the USA is tailored to instil fear as a mechanism to keep people watching because seeking information (to ensure our safety) on things our brain finds threatening is a basic human instinct that happens at a subconscious level. Effectively the only difference between the 24/7 news channels is what they think you’re afraid of.
GitHub doesn't seem to be either. I get that it's a competitor but not being able to search GitHub is probably a deal breaker for most devs that aren't Drew.

While I liked playing it with my cousin I fail to see how is game from 1991 "the mother of all games" when I enjoyed playing plenty other games already in 80s. Also as for the games from 1991 I enjoyed Crystal Caves much more playing it in father's work.

Btw. I find Worms much more enjoyable/funnier, though it's pretty much same concept.

Not sure about entry restrictions but there aren't any serious "behavioral" restrictions in Europe at the moment, despite most countries being through a BA.5 wave. Vaccine, testing and mask mandates have mostly been lifted.

Hi, Professional Supply Chain Consultant here, who also coaches and trains Six Sigma!

This absolutely isn't true in reality, and these are used quite frequently across logistics and manufacturing to maintain '5 S'. There is absolutely no reason they can't be deployed for non-critical tasks, and often are used to help productivity and ensure that items get put back to the right place each time.
I received an offer after a reasonably basic old-school interview process. The contract included a large block of unlawful stuff, such as me being on the hook for their insurance excess if the company car was damaged, regardless of fault. When I indicated that I was unwilling to sign the contract with the unlawful inclusions they ghosted me.

I saw that same job advertised for a couple of years at roughly 3-6 month intervals.
I think rust is the new haskell. After spending 7 months learning it, I can say I really enjoy the language, but there's no job in it and in my opinion, they take academic decisions that make the language way more complex than it should. Also, the community is toxic.

For example, generics in Go were criticized by some, praised by others.

You have the feeling that you can freely share your opinion in the go community without the risk of being harassed by the rest of the community.

In the rust community, just like a sect, everybody must say that everything is just perfect.

Passive / aggressive attitude is something I've seen a lot in the rust community.

I would suggest that if your plan is to learn C/C++ next, and you never really understood memory issues && pointers, then rust is a perfect choice at first.

I'm planning to learn Go next, I don't regret learning rust, I learned lots of things with it.
