You are absolutely correct on both counts. Olympic fencing blades are wider at the base and taper down. They’re designed to flex mostly in farther half of the blade, the base needs to remain fairly stiff or the sword would be weak in parries (and would
flop around excessively).

Many historical swords taper in width, thickess, or both in order to improve handling. Distribution of mass matters quite a lot in how nimble a sword is, especially for historical swords which were heavier than modern fencing weapons.
> In my country (Belgium), the government has tools to let people find and reclaim money they may be owed that is sitting in bank accounts. But something like PayPal is not really able to do this.

In the US, there's also a system of unclaimed property, administered by each state. States hold onto such property, and at least the few states I've lived in allow you to search online for it, and provide a means to have it sent to you on request. I've found a couple hundred dollars over the past 20 years, mostly cases where I've overpaid some sort of account, and then the account was closed, though I recall one case where Google had been the one to submit some unclaimed property to the state in my name (never found out what it was from).

PayPal could certainly set an inactivity limit -- say 5 years -- and then turn the funds over to the state listed in the account's user information. But they'd rather keep the money, and slowly siphon it off. I agree that this is a pretty bad money grab, but there's absolutely another option that would allow a PayPal user to reclaim that money later on.

I feel the same way. I'd love to use macros to implement dataclasses. But it does open the door for unreadable code.

I'm torn on the issue: I don't want to be restricted from improving dataclasses in what would be fairly obvious ways, but I'm sure the feature would be abused. But maybe this falls under the "we're all consenting adults" guideline.

Performing 100 of the cat versions on M1 MBP with the default zsh consistently takes between 6.1s and 6.2s, whereas 100 of the grep -cx version consistently takes between 9.1s and 9.3s

grep -cx version:

for i in {1..100}
do
grep -cx 'a..' /usr/share/dict/words
done

cat version:

for i in {1..100}
do
cat /usr/share/dict/words | grep -e "^a..$" | wc -l
done

(adding a | tr -d " " to the cat version to make the output equivalent only adds about .1s to the total run).
As a long time professional mobile engineer, that has worked on all three of Android, iOS and Flutter. This is plain wrong.

Flutter is a brilliant framework, despite what hardcore native devs of either platform might tell you. It has it's flaws, but the speed of its improvement and its usability as a cross-platform framework is probably the best on the market.

That combined with being able to just code native Android or iOS if you really have an issue you can't overcome make it quite powerful.

You're also plain wrong about Android. It is by far the largest platform in every country outside the first world, and is not going anywhere. You just have to look at Asia, Africa and South America to understand that around half the world use it.

Not only is the answer "no" like the sibling comment says, but in fact one definition of an infinite set is that it can be put into one-to-one correspondence with a strict subset of itself. In other words, infinite sets are precisely those for which your concept of size doesn't work.

Another sibling comment used the even/odd example, but that's not necessary to dispel this particular misconception. Consider the set of non-negative integers and the set of positive integers. That is, {0,1,2,3,...} and {1,2,3,4,...}. The latter is a strict subset of the former. Maybe I have just done mathematics for too long, but to me these are intuitively, "obviously" the same size. What would it even mean for one of them to be smaller? Which one is the same size as {-1,-2,-3,...}, if either of them? Even doing folk mathematics, if the size of the first is "infinity" then the size of the second is "infinity minus one which is still infinity".

Launch costs are a fairly small part of most space telescopes. Even for something like Hubble which required multiple incredibly expensive shuttle launches, <10%. Sure, if you treat the telescopes themselves as disposable you can bring R&D costs down a bit.

But imagine how hard it would be to build something like the Square Kilometer Array in space (keep in mind it'll already cost billions to build it on Earth). You'd need hundreds of launches to get each of the 50 ft dishes to space. Not to mention the difficulties of on orbit assembly.

And of course before you do that you have to figure out how to do interferometry in space. AFAIK it's only been done reliably at very long wavelengths, except for a few demonstrators that required non-scalable physical connections. I don't think it'd impossible, but it requires some huge advances in both science and engineering (submillimeter positioning, cryocoolers with orders of magnitude improvement at passing vibe checks, etc)

I've done quite a bit of development in C++. Now learning Rust for fun. My impression is that there is too much unnecessary complexity in Rust language and its type system that it gets in the way when you try express your thoughts in code. While writing Rust code I can't shake the feeling that I can write functionally the same code in C++ (sans the memory safety guarantees of course) without ever struggling with problems like the one described in this post. In fact C++ now starts to look like a simple language to me. I guess everything is known in comparison.

There's a long history of vaccine requirements, including in the US.

For example, NY state requires that children attending daycare or school be vaccinated against a range of pathogens.

I don't know what you're envisioning happening with mandatory SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, or why you consider it a "ruse." A "ruse" for what, exactly?

I don't think mandatory vaccination equals anyone's "loss of liberty." I don't think there's a right to not be vaccinated. It's a critical public health measure that brings huge benefits to society, and which imposes virtually no burden on the individual.

I have found that its more the dogma to put up microservices for everything that spoils the pot.

My take on it is that we should have called is "distributed services" because micro implies that they have to be small.

Usually there are clear borders in your app of stuff that can me compartementalized, but they usually should be called medium services instead.

Also - your database is a microservice - design your data acces layer accordingly, you dont need an api endpoint, where a stored procedure (or the like) will do.

From context, it seems to be a well known 'quintessential extreme example' of when you have obviously gone way too far into microservices. So it's probably something super trivial like coloring text maybe? Or maybe convert between color spaces?

> I think it's not unreasonable to just declare those devices as insecure and move on.

1. The lockscreen bypass security flaw of last week is major compared to any flaw Qualcomm currently have.

2. Apple still updates devices hit with checkm8, so maybe security doesn't dictate everything for them. Not sure why it needs to for Google.

3. What does security has to do with getting Material You to my device? (to give just one example). Maybe the idea is that if a device is insecure, then it must get to the trash bin...? I hope not.
This sounds interesting but I am not quite sure what exactly it is. I am also not sure how to start developing, because your docs are very early stage and not very helpful.

I think you need 1 specific use case that you can show. This would give me an idea about how to use it.
These are the number one things keeping me from jumping into Flutter. Flutter is very attractive, but I always pause at Dart coming from F#.
Thanks! All good clarifications. You're definitely right on all counts, and it was more than a bit naive of me to suggest that language/library authors "simply" have two production grade regex implementations :)

>> (And if you are using them, then I'd argue you're shoving a bit too much logic into a regex, but that's beside the point).

> This kind of ignores the fact that regexes are often the interface to something else.

I will definitely admit to using the occasional assertion or backreference in grep or sed from time to time, so you make a good point about local tools too. I suppose I was thinking more in terms of programming APIs when I said this, and so keeping the standard library FSM-based would still apply here. I'd imagine that special-purpose text munging tools which care that much, will likely have their own engines anyway.

Thanks also for your work on the regex crate. I'm still dipping my toes into Rust but I'm glad to know there's an FSM-based default regex library!
> No warnings, nothing that stopped you.

I'm not sure I follow why this is a good thing. Having the option is good, but some sort of a sanity check and a warning dialog just seems like looking out for your users.

For example, I recently used Linux on the desktop as my daily driver and wrote about my experiences [1]. At one point, I considered that the system was perhaps a bit of a mess in regards to the installed packages and, not wanting to do a clean reinstall, I figured that I'd just reinstall Python in particular.

There's nothing mystifying about running an apt remove command, nor is there anything outrageous about the idea of removing some software and then later reinstalling it. However, as it turns out, this would probably break certain parts of the system, so I got a helpful warning instead:

After this operation, 1 244 MB disk space will be freed.
You are about to do something potentially harmful.
To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!'

By that time I had already entered "y" and pressed enter, not bothering to read the message, since the rest of the prompt looked like it normally would, so instead I got this output:

Abort.

And nothing broke. I think systems should look out more for the users like that, which would give the OS less of a bad reputation.

Of course, it won't always save you, like Linus from LTT still ignored such a warning and ruined his install somewhat [2].

It's absolutely bizarre. I've got a friend working in healthcare in New Zealand and she was given a mandatory class which taught that "Western science" is "imperialist" and that Maori traditional knowledge is "just as valid."

These satellites aren't affecting anyone except those with access to a radio observatory or a telescope which is probably far less than 1% of the population. It's hard to say this is ruining the night sky. No one can see these satellites with the naked eye. Even if you could, they are neat rather than ruining, unlike light pollution. The ISS looks like a really slow, dim shooting star if you can even spot it, which takes a fair deal of effort and concentration to not lose it.

I made a video about some of the benefits of using ClojureScript for developing VS Code Extensions. It's a short (9 minutes) demo of me hacking on an extension of mine, trying to relay what it is we Clojure peeps mean when we speak of Interactive Programming (aka REPL Driven Development). I find it super powerful when hacking on extensions, since restarting the Dev Extension Host can be pretty disruptive. And having to halt the program in the debugger to inspect it often does does not fit when searching for the cause of a problem.

This article on LISP interactivity inspired me: http://blog.fogus.me/2022/11/10/the-one-about-lisp-interacti...
I agree, but I have to say that not all the scenarios are the worst case scenario, and sometimes initialization is just "simple", like it was in my case and in other thousand cases I've worked in my life (I do embedded C mostly single-threaded).

This application was also single-thread (a command line utility to parse a text file). I now understand that Rust cannot guarantee the safety of initializing global variables so it makes me take the long road, but it could be great it could infer better about each particular case and enforce only when required.

If I can shoot myself in the foot with C then Rust would be kind-of clamping down on me and nailing my feet to the ground. At the end of the day, it hurts more or less the same.

That was my experience as a rookie with Rust in this particular case.
