> Rust now is very different from Rust in the early days

Rust pre 1.0 kinda doesn't count.

The whole point of 1.0 is that there is a guarantee that there will be no more dramatic changes to the language.

> exponentially more unintuitive

Almost nothing about any programming language is really intuitive.

You mean that C uses paradigms that are intuitive to you due to your experience with it or similar languages.

Rust uses different paradigms that are more immediately intuitive to people with experience in functional languages. And the borrow checker. Which is probably immediately intuitive to nobody, but worth it.
There are thousands of people who post on titter and millions who just use it as an unimportant and replaceable news stream.
No, that's about error handling: panic/recover in the standard net/http server is used in lieu of exception handling, which is absent in Go. Instead, they (and official Go docs as well) recommend to use "if-hell".
I can't imagine their reaction when they discover that so many IP cameras/NVR/DVR have been and still are being used as surveillance devices, and in some cases they have been hacked to either phone home (China?) video feeds, or as botnet hosts.

This is the 10x engineer. Their peers are working 10 hours, but never get in the flow like they do. Hence the 10x productivity.
Maybe I should have been more specific.

Yes, you can stay on an old edition forever and not experience any of the breaking changes. But there are features that the kernel needs that rust does not support yet, such as a fallible allocation API. These features will trickle in over the next few years. In order to use them, all of the kernel's rust code will have to jump versions and deal with the breaking changes.

It’s insane. Trains to games have the fans segregated from the normal population (a temporary extra walking lane), and police with machine pistols make sure everyone stays where they are supposed to.

I think it’s mostly an issue with the "Ultras", but as a non-fan I don’t know much about it.

That argument makes no sense, because we do not want to mirror other countries.

Instead, there are substantial arguments about freedom of speech and accountability. Even though they are messy, they are what we need to apply here because they are a legally binding framework that we built over decades.

By the way, I found Levitski and Ziblatt's book "How Democracies Die" [1] a pretty good treatment of these issues of balancing freedom of expression and democratic resilience.

I've used DeepL for Chinese recently, I used to use Systran, and it's really good, although it tends to bug out on gendering personal pronouns.

This being said Google Translation got much better recently.

Note that if you want to see DeepL in use with a variety of languages, you can check the /r/europe subreddit. It's commonly used to translate national language articles into English.
My theory is that free health care in the UK makes the drunken population more likely to fight each other. Or possibly that picking a fight in the USA could get you shot.
I get the idea that he doesn’t know himself, which is why he hasn’t explained it? He just seems to have vague ideas on what to do.

I don’t know. But from what I’m hearing, he offered no vision for twitter employees either.

Here’s an example Twitter thread of someone who saw entire teams fired around him, saw that he would have to deal with systems be barely knew anything about, and had no idea what Musk’s vision:

>>"non-economically homeless" probably would be simpler to help with their underlying issues if they didn't live on the streets.

Sure, but they need treatment facilities, not an apartment.

Housing First policies is not creating a Mental Health Center to treat people with serious conditions. It is either building standard new housing that is gifted to the homeless, or finding existing housing to provide. Which for the economically homeless there are already many many government programs to provide that the problem is they all have HUGE waitlists as there is a housing shortage.

This is why the economically homeless in the US is the most temporary, and many of the economically homeless are simply waiting for a unit to open up on one of the many government programs that provide housing units.

Putting a severely drug addicted or mentally ill person in such housing will not only do a disservice to them as they are still not getting help, and they likely will not stay in the unit anyway. It places the other residents in danger as well

It's interesting question. We have VoA or whatever.

Would the FCC allow a VoRussia or VoChina radio transmitter in the US whose sole purpose was to push Chinese or Russian propaganda?

Probably in a war declaration we could shut them down, but what about peacetime?

I think the problem is that the first pipe is just investment/debt.

You need a second pipe of money coming in -- ad revenue, sales, fees for services provided -- or else, as said, the money going back to investors can't exceed the money coming in from investment.

As long as that second money pipe remains aspirational/marginal, there's just not much potential.

Absolutely - the criticism of most guitarists only knowing 3 chords goes back afaik to the first bard who ever strung up a lute. I also think although we remember the songs that break molds, at any moment in history most popular music tends to be relatively simple. There's nothing wrong with that I think - just as people don't (or probably shouldn't) eat caviar and filet mignon at every meal, much of the time music serves as more of an idle distraction than some intense spiritual experience.
There's plenty of discussion out there - just not much in the way of nicely formatted documentation. There is a consensus on the way forward, but it remains to be seem how many tricky details can be resolved.
That was a good read for me - someone who has heard of Mastondon and ActivityPub but hasn't really grokked the tech and definitely didn't know other alternatives.
If you would make the same circles but with different fiat currency on one side and difference fiat currency on the other side you would figure out that exchanging different fiat currency isn't generating any value therefore the Forex markets should not exists. And extending on that knowledge any currency from a country that produced more debts each year should be worthless.
Reality check: Nope, both not true in the "real economy".

Buffet is know for not liking stuff that does not "produce goods" like Gold. However trading any kind of asset does actually produce something it produces market liquidity which s the oil in the financial system that make the economy run smother.
It's remarkable that someone who's never run Twitter thinks he knows how to run Twitter better than the people who run Twitter.
>ban surveillance by apps

In general, I find it crazy that we allow legal documents to be so complex. And not just complex, but comped to the point of being less clear than something stated in simple, plain language.

Legal matters, both civil and criminal, are so of the most important things in a person’s life. How do we allow language that is only decipherable by “experts”? Even if you understand the language, the “correct” interpretation of that language is governed by decades and centuries of inscrutable case law. To me, this is a tragedy. Laws and contracts should be made in simple language understood by a majority of the populace. People have a right the understand the rules that govern them.
> [..] I was visiting Germany [and saw] dozens of officers armed with assault rifles.

A bit of nitpick but I’ve never seen German police with assault rifles (unlike the US, France, and Belgium). There were more likely MP5 machine pistols which are quite commonly carried in sensitive areas or around major events as a “show of force”.

We should have rules that include forbidding any Chinese company from selling SaaS or social media until CCP takes the Great Firewall down. They've made a pariah internet and they should stay there.

Doing that, you remove the possibility at the submitter of a final check before the merge. Especially if the merge happens on another day, rechecking with a clean mind helps to find missed things.

True. Though How would one serve a website without a server in some capacity?

SSI like those from apache acting in otherwise the most privative form of server just using paths and no routing produce the kind of repetitive HLML that iframes via the client produce.
California is trialing a guaranteed basic income, which is very different from a UBI. The latter is universal, while a GBI is conditional. Conditional money grants gated on income invariably create high marginal tax rates, as a dollar can result in no net increase in take home income.
OKRs are nice for tracking and measuring them, but they do not explain how to achieve them.

Trying random product ideas will generate a lot of waste, and will have a very low probability of success.

You need a highly-skilled and entreprenerial people to be able to fill the gap from the goals with measurable metrics to strategy, plan and execution. Basically you work like a research scientists, making a series of experiments, until you find an idea which moves your KRs.

This is how I see it:

Mission
Objectives
KRs (= goals + measurable metrics)
Problems/Jobs/Opportunities (Problem-space, JTBD, OST)
Ideas (Solution-space, Strategy, how to achive KR)
Step-Projects (Validation/De-Risking/Experiment or feature delivery)
Scopes (list of related tasks)
Tasks (TODOs)

This is a great recommendation.

Concise, grounded posts that focus on the "behind the scenes" of git. After reading this I felt a much more grounded understanding of git.

I don't recall if it's explicitly covered in there, but because I'd read this I understood things like what happens to my commits after I "delete" them (e.g. remove the last reference to them / hard reset to an old commit, etc).

I see a lot of US psyops and I'm an American. That is even more disturbing IMO. I'd expect it from a foreign nation but not my own country. Also, why can't we just make education about foreign influence part of our curriculum and national discussion. Why do we have to ban things like speech to protect people? That is borderline just becoming China-like in itself.
This is the 'logistics' level questioning. "Amateurs talk strategy; professionals talk logistics"

I have used both Rust and C++ professionally (Rust for nearly four years now) and the advantages of Rust over C++ are still absolutely clear. I’m not a Rust fanboy (I think it’s great in some ways and bad in others) but comparing it to the monstrosity that is C++ is simply wrong.

Yes surely none of this existed in western entertainment before TikTok and was all concocted by the the Chinese in a grand conspiracy to bring down the US. At this point I’m trying to figure out who’s better at contrived cartoon supervillain plans according to HN: Musk or China.

Surveillance isn't the primary issue. INFLUENCE OPERATIONS is. China's ability to direct content to achieve their strategic goals, and to do so at a very granular level, is too great a risk. Its not the only property with this capability (cough, 4chan/pol/, cough), but its by far the largest.
Adding to that, these rifles or machine pistols weren't used to protect against hooligans, but against the risk of islamic terorism.

Hooligans can be bad, but they are not gunshot-bad. Riot gear typically suffices. And most hooligan action is anyways happening outside the stadiums nowadays.
Yeah, just a small off-point: some CPU support VT-d but for some reason the corresponding chipset does not (yet their BIOS offers this as a configurable item).

Japan economic fundamentals are not strong. The government has basically been propping up the economy with free money. Now that free money is driving inflation which is another problem.

Expect a major reset at some point. That's like catching a falling knife when it comes to bets on exchange rates.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_r...
There are a couple of things we have to be careful of in these discussions: one is that the US has strong motivations for (economic) protectionism. We should be focussing on evidence of wrongdoing, not innuendo.

The second is how the accusations are being made. Too much of it reeks of borderline racism and there seems to be an uptick in outright racism against Chinese people. Remember, it is acts of the Chinese government at issue here not the acts of people who have no ties to the Chinese government.

For loop iterations it's fine, but I think Go code often takes this too far.

It often takes longer to read a single character than a word, because I have to mentally map the character to the word anyway.

Reminds me of when people go nuts aliasing table names in SQL queries, which IMO makes it harder to read as well.
There is only one space-time, and everybody agrees on it.

Time in space-time is not measured by your clock. It's measured by all clocks that are at rest with respect to each other.

Everybody sees you arriving at that point (0,0,0,<very large number>), including yourself. That's the number on the clock at your destination when you arrived. You took a different route through space-time to arrive there, which is why your wristwatch reads 1.

(We're assuming that the earth clock and the center-of-the-galaxy clock are not moving relative to each other, which isn't quite true but close enough to avoid introducing those complications.)

Since you are the one accelerating and decelerating, you're the one whose wristwatch cannot be trusted. That's the half-assed solution to the twin paradox. A better solution to the twin paradox involves watching the "boosts" from one frame to another and doing the math to calculate what happens. But you do know that the non-moving clock at the origin is always going to the longest route in time, and anything moving relative to it will be moving more in space (and thus less in time).

Australia has a similar confusion about Euro sporting culture. Australian Football (AFL) is a more violent sport and alcohol is allowed in the stadiums yet to Europeans it is a strikingly family friendly affair with children present and no (major) patron violence.
DeepL is insane. The "literature" department of the company that I work for uses it all the time to translate German to English and I can't barely tell that I'm reading a machine-translated text. It captures nuances and all, even on hardcore Mechanical Engineering texts.

Kudos to the DeepL guys, I'm near Cologne, would love to pay them a visit.
I have seen a bit of the "management side" of a modest-size American casino or two. Those guys are hard-core about accounting for every dollar and chip. Every day. Plus thinking three steps ahead of any "tempted" employees, who might imagine that they could get away with something, in spite of the security cameras.

Vs. I have zero behind-the-scenes knowledge of any crypto firms.

Comparing the casinos to the juicy gossip that comes out with each crypto collapse...my gut feel is that the crypto folks do not even know that such a culture & controls exist. Otherwise, more crypto folks would at least be pantomiming bits of that stuff, to look good. And yelling about specific violations of accepted industry norms & standards after each big bust, to at least give the appearance that crypto has & cares about such things.
Really cool! Congrats!
Yeah, but that was more akin to the BBC or even Xinhua. I mean a specifically propagandist station like the VoA or RFE.

But that said, looks like all the Biden admin needs to do is set up some sanctions (for whatever reason) and put TT under that umbrella and voila!
I assume you are genuinely interested in a discussion, so let's get back to the original question and tackle it from a different way:

> Any function doing I/O is not pure by definition, and while using an IO monad can shift the impureness a bit to make a function behave as if it was pure, it is not pure and cannot ever be pure

Pure functional programming should have a definition that is useful. I already gave my definition. If you think this is not a good definition, then what would be yours? Or more concretely to your example: what does it mean for a function to 1) be pure and 2) to behave pure? And what would it mean if a function is/does neither?

> The way I see it, universal pure functional programming is an academic exercise and cannot practically exist on Von Neumann architectures.

Unlimited memory can also not practically exist on Von Neumann architectures. But in programming languages we still use concepts like linked lists that have no size limitation whatsoever. In the context of the language and reading and understanding the code, this is important and it does not matter what the hardware actually does, except for rare edgecases. The same is true for (erased) generics. They simply don't exist in the generated machinecode. But it still matters for us humans. Programming languages exist for humans to serialize our thoughts in an easy way while still being able to have the machine interprete it. So in the context of a style of programming or a programming language feature, I don't see how what you said makes any sense or is related in any way.
