> I clearly recall when I read early rust specs

Rust changed drastically before 1.0, so depending on when you read this, it may be 100% irrelevant.

> namely removing integer promotion,

Rust does not do integer promotion.

> implicit casts

Rust does not do implicit casts (often called "coercion")

> enum

Rust's enums can do what C's enums do, but are more powerful by default, you can add arbitrary data to them, not just a synonym for some integers.

> _generic

Rust has a full generic system. Very different than _generic.

> 1 loop keyword is enough

Rust has loop for infinite loops, while, and an iterator-based for loop. There's no do/while.

> no switch

Rust has 'match', which is like a switch but extra powerful, especially when combined with features like enums.

> goto is not harmful

Rust does not have goto. It would be harmful for the kinds of static analysis Rust does. Rust does have named break though, which can do many (but not all) of the things you'd do with goto.

Additionally due to RAII and the way errors work on Rust, you don't need goto for error handling like you would in C.

> have only sized primitive types,

Not 100% sure what you mean by this.

> change extern/static

I don't know what this means.

> Hopefully, rust does not have object-orientation.

It depends on what you mean by OOP, but in general, the answer is "no". There's no classes, no inheritance. You can do dynamic dispatch, but it's fairly rare.

> But I guess, I would drop that reading if I encounter a definitive nono again.

Given what you said about destructors, that hasn't changed, so sounds like you'd stop.
As a counterexample there's Apple with not insignificant market share in Europe - pushing icloud, not supporting third party operating sysems or even sideloading, still keeping proprietary connector despite everyone else using usb-c, etc.
> some sort of willful ignorance

Not "some sort of willful ignorance". It just requires "ignorance". I think most of us know someone who thinks that reality TV is ... well, reality. "It says it in the name".

> Show a kid a celebrity pushing something and they can tell it's fake

Perhaps you have very bright kids. My kid will ask me to buy two of whatever that person is pushing. He's simply not equipped to handle marketing at any level, yet.

Do you mean migrate a physical Linux server to a VMware VM? There is/was a tool called p2v converter that can image a physical server to a VM. No idea how well it is supported these days but I've used it in the past for this purpose when I was dealing with "kittens vs cattle".

[Edit] It appears they removed it from downloads due to some security bug. [1] I imagine you may still be able to find it somewhere in their forums or open a ticket and tell them you accept all risk.

As a developer I’m not sure that I agree. Some degree of backwards compatibility is good, but it quickly becomes an unwieldy burden that acts as a ball and chain on the development of the OS and platform toolkit.

Among modern operating systems, iOS is probably the worst in terms of backwards compatibility but it’s also one of the most pleasant to develop for — UIKit/Cocoa is unrivaled in terms of both breadth and depth. One can easily build a top class iOS app with few or no third party dependencies, which is not the case on most other platforms. I don’t think that’s a coincidence… if the iOS dev team were encumbered with maintaining backwards compatibility for upwards of a decade it would be much more difficult to build such a complete and polished toolkit.

I can easily envision a non-technical person spending a few bucks for this because they don't know how to set things up without help. I don't see that working at $99/month though. It's WAY more than most bit.ly plans for a vastly more limited product.
The usual use case for paying for something you could self-host, is that you don't have to self-host and therefore manage it. Someone else deals with installation, updates, and ongoing availability.

For something like this there is perhaps extra factors like someone else worrying about abuse by malicious users and the resulting risk of being black-listed by spam filters.
I don't see how this is different to a world where you use Postgres over the network, with lots of DB clients. You "just" do the schema migrations like everyone who can't shut down the business does: incrementally and in a backwards-compatible manner. After the migration, deploy new code that takes advantage of the new schema. Repeat until done.

I continue to see improperly redacted images because of the iOS Markup UX
I am a regular on a web forum where users quite often share screenshots from their iPhone, and in an attempt to redact identifying information in these screenshots, often do I find PII swabbed with the highlighting tool.

Even with the Opacity set to 100% and the color to Black, it leaves the sensitive information underneath visible (yes I understand this is a highlighter, move on this note below).

Before you tell me the proper way to do it, which is to ...

(once in Markup)

1. Tap the Plus button on the far bottom right

2. Select the Rectangle or Circle shape

3. Tap the Shape Options button in the bottom left (the icon used doesn't even make it obvious as to what this button is for)

4. Select Solid Fill for the shape

5. Position solid shape over the sensitive information

...

My argument is that while it is possible to properly redact sensitive information, it's much too easy for people to improperly redact because it is difficult to tell that a 100% opacity black highlighter does not work. On a phone screen, it can look completely opaque. Only once you see it on a better display do you realize just how visible the info is.

Also, while the pencil/pen tool (far left) does properly redact, its max size is much too small. People who use this one and just haphazardly try to scribble over all of the info, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

Solutions:

1. Create a tool specific for redacting

2. Make it so that 100% opacity highlighting is opaque (or at least warn the user if they set the opacity to 100%). Yes, this is not what "highlighting" is, but make the default opacity value like 30-50% and have people change it as needed. If it looks opaque on a phone screen, IT SHOULD BE.

3. Allow the user to set the max width of the pen/pencil tool much larger. Make it a sliding scale instead of 5 discrete sizes.

As long as you don’t care about data transfers of the very large video and photos that modern phones can create or connecting to a larger screen. If you want to “avoid ewaste” why not “mandate” more than the least common denominator?

If iPhone users were satisfied with the least common denominator, they would be buying cheap Android phones.

I was always onboard with the climate change agenda until 2020. Now I understand that this is "political science" (the application of "science" as interpreted by people in power) as opposed to pure "science". See the current Dutch farmer protests and those in Sri Lanka, and soon to come in Canada.

AFAIK the idea isn't that you can't ship devices running other operating systems but that you can't ship devices running non-compliant forks of Android, which I do agree is nigh unto the same thing--as Android is open source and that's a decision Google already made--but I think is worth noting explicitly as others sometimes see it as different (both because it doesn't prevent a greenfield alternative, and as Google gave away Android for free and arguably didn't have to--though I kind of think they originally did to pull off the coalition--and so this is one of the ways they maintain ecosystem control without being closed source, which they arguably could just do now without issue... I mean, they've already gone back hard on the level of openness they started with, and for a year or so around Android 3.x they were closed source, which I have oft claimed was to stifle Amazon).

There is the intentional ambiguity. The TOS, Terms Of Service, at these companies are left loose and manipulated to the companies benefit all the time.

They can ban you saying, you broke the terms of service, and that’s all you have no recourse they do not need to define what role you broke, end of story.

Couldn't they have prosecuted VW on the basis of "competition"?

Like VW had an unfair advantage over other (non-EU) car companies because they didn't meet the standards.

The reality is that they didn't want to hurt VW that much because it is an important EU company. Same reason the US fined the crap out of them -- but would have been lenient on Ford in the same circumstances.

This is normal stuff. I was just responding to the idea that the EU was "too soft" on US tech companies.

A legacy of social mistrust. USSR had the same exact feature. A variation on 'Everyone was dissatisfied, but no one trusted anyone else'.

I could be wrong but I think the issue is that I'd be bridging Matrix to my Slack organization, which I would be downgrading to 'Free', and so any communication that happens with external people via the Slack/Matrix bridge will be doing so via the crippled 'Free' account. As it pertains to inter-company communication, 'Pro' allows for channels and group chats, whereas 'Free' only allows one-on-one communication.

So, again I could be misunderstanding, but I don't think much is really gained here, relative to (say) implementing Matrix for internal use and also asking employees to keep Slack running for certain external chats.

Have you heard about Ignaz Semmelweis? He went against the medical establishment to demonstrate that surgeons hand-washing between operation is a disease prevention system.

tl;dr he died alone and poor in an insane asylum for being a science "heretic". Same freaking story as all the doctors who were silenced during this "pandemic". [1]

>Despite various publications of results where hand-washing reduced mortality to below 1%, Semmelweis's observations conflicted with the established scientific and medical opinions of the time and his ideas were rejected by the medical community. He could offer no theoretical explanation for his findings of reduced mortality due to hand-washing, and some doctors were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands and mocked him for it. In 1865, the increasingly outspoken Semmelweis allegedly suffered a nervous breakdown and was committed to an asylum by his colleagues. In the asylum he was beaten by the guards. He died 14 days later from a gangrenous wound on his right hand that may have been caused by the beating. His findings earned widespread acceptance only years after his death, when Louis Pasteur confirmed the germ theory, giving Semmelweis' observations a theoretical explanation, and Joseph Lister, acting on Pasteur's research, practised and operated using hygienic methods, with great success.

They should have upheld the original $7B judgement purely because of this:

"The jury also found that "Charter knowingly or intentionally committed forgery with the intent to defraud or harm Plaintiffs," Renteria wrote. The family's attorney previously said that "Charter Spectrum attorneys used a forged document to try to force the lawsuit into a closed-door arbitration where the results would have been secret and damages for the murder would have been limited to the amount of Ms. Thomas's final bill."

I'm as mercenary and capitalist as one can be, but I still have personal ethics. There is NO EXCUSE for that sort of intentional maliciousness from a company. Corporations are an entity of the state with an intention to serve the public, this should result in the FTC getting involved and stripping their corporate charter and forcing a sale of their assets to their competitors, and the jailing of the executives involved in the process of that forgery.

$7B is a pittance compared to that, the fact it was lowered to less than 2% of their revenue in 2019 (the year the murder happened), is fucking despicable.

> Guilt by association is not acceptable in a first world country. You don't go to jail if your brother commits a crime

Staw man. The only way that is comparable is if you oversaw your brothers career and received part of his income... if he then committed a crime (from which you benefited), then yes, you could be held part accountable.

Execs are not merely "associated", they are responsible and receive excessive compensation directly derived from the actions of the organisation they oversee. If a corporate crime is committed on their watch they could be held accountable, if not through direct involvement, through negligence - allowing it to take place by not exerting enough oversight or management... to say otherwise would be similar to allowing people to drive cars negligently killing people without consequence, the analogy is not exact, since the car (the organisation) is not purely mechanical and has some degree of autonomy which is where these matters are not cut and dry, and those would be the finer points of a case exploring whether an individual subverted reasonable oversight or not - in the inexact analogy you could say, whether one of the wheels decided to ignore instructions, or whether the driver (exec) wasn't event bothering to steer.
