I’ve actually noticed a lot more sponsored posts that are nearly indistinguishable from a quote tweet. They don’t appear to be scams, more like somebody threw a couple bucks at Twitter to boost their opinion or something.

Clicking through to the thread usually has the same person taking up the first reply with a request to follow them but other than that I’m not seeing any real marketing activity.
Being extraordinary is easier than just picking some random categorizations that you identify with and combining them. Just be yourself. There is no one else in the world like you. The odds of being you are less than one in eight billion. How's that for extraordinary?

Of course, like most simple things, this is far easier said than done.
That and very fast incremental parsing as you type.

I was not implying that people were specifically avoiding Rust in favor of Jai. My comment was more to the point that people who would be interested in Jai are most likely the same devs that are not interested in Rust.

The reasons devs give for avoiding Rust are mixed but tend to focus on the restrictiveness inherent in Rust’s chosen memory model or the appearance of continual expansion of the language and its complexity or a strong aversion to the manner of dealing with and heavy usage of third party dependency, along with some other topics (syntax, functional-adjacent styling, insistence on idiomatic code at any cost, etc).

While some or all of those reasons may be overblown, some devs just do not want Rust but are looking for an alternative to C or C++.
Matt Levine at Bloomberg has mostly avoided the coverup, although he's still mining the situation for comedy. The truth is mostly coming out on Twitter, YouTube, and the occasional Substack.

If you think there are very long term existential threats we can’t protect against without massive technological advances, or if there might be existential threats we don’t know about yet, you probably don’t want a relatively static society regardless of how internally stable and comfortable it seems to be. We probably need to up our game a lot to even be safe from existential threats we know about, like asteroid/comet impacts. And what about supernovae? And what about stuff that might be even less frequent that we don’t even know about?

I guess what I’m saying is that optimizing for stability and comfort almost certainly is at odds with optimizing for longevity. Unless we eventually have some good reason to think that we’ve discovered all the long-term existential threats and are protected against them.
When our c suite decides on an ad campaign and tells our artists to draw normal humans, those people have 3 legs or upside down teeth exactly 0% of the time. Humans have many many limitations, but with every model I’ve tested there’s a set of errors that would virtually never be made by any human.

Hmm. One Baha'i temple, one Buddhist temple, and eight Protestant churches of various types - not all that interesting.

Sigh. As an old Rails hand myself - hell, I credit Rails for much of my tech career - I think I now have to disagree. Rails is great, indeed the best, for its use case, which is CRUD apps. That might still be enough. But what is expected of applications has changed over the years and Rails isn't really capable of meeting some of these new expectations, not alone anyway, and developers trying to implement them find themselves reaching for ever more kludges and workarounds and 3rd party software trying to fit, essentially, a square peg into a round hole.

Applications these days - well, a large number of them - need to be realtime. Server push. Websockets. Push notifications. Scheduled jobs. Long running background jobs. Calls into other services. Presence awareness. The list just goes on and on. And sure, you can somehow deal with all of this in Rails - hell, you can do anything in any language given enough time and effort - but you are absolutely going against the grain, and you're not using Rails anymore, you're using Rails + sidekiq + node + some other thing + xyz. I thought Rails was supposed to be the simple option?

Rails still might be the best choice, if you're sure your domain will never need to do anything long-lasting or concurrent. Internal admin apps or simple e-commerce would be good examples. But if it's going to be more than that then Rails might save you some time at the beginning only to bite you badly later on.

Phoenix 1.7 is out now and I basically recommend all rails developers to start learning it. It is going to be a bit of a learning curve, and it's not quite as lovable as ruby and its near-perfect syntax, but it is vastly more capable and is, IMO, the way forward. Frankly, I don't understand why it isn't much, much more popular.
That’s what everyone said about Trump.
Americans* are literally extorted by their state, democratic accountability is a myth, as the bureaucracy remains, and the results are imposed even if you refuse to participate. Courts take years and decades, and do not judge against themselves. A more direct method of accountability, has, every time, been used to expand the surveillance state and the militarization of police.

The only remaining effective option is to identify the source of the problem, and shift public opinion to recognize it; With further draconian measures, more people notice the corruption and overextension of the state, and with enough people alternate means of accountability become viable. Until then you're mushed crabs dispersing amongst the waves and cliffs.

You can even get safety using logic without the compiler. I think resource cleanup responsibility tracking as a static analysis tool is likely to happen with some of these languages. I think zig is a good candidate, once they lock down the intermediate representation.

It's already the case that people are using "logic add-ons" for additional rust static analysis, so one wonders exactly why is it generally speaking that borrow checking itself must occur at the compilation step.

Trivially, one could create an annotation layer on top of zig or c that exactly replicates the rust syntax and performance borrow checking in the same way. It wouldn't be exactly the same because there isn't RAII but you can make correct inferences about what is happening in the body of the functions.
Usually this is "solved" by creating unit tests to emulate what a compiler in a statically typed language would otherwise do. Which is (another) reason that dynamic languages shouldn't be the choice for anything but scripting.

It depends on how you implement compile time execution.

Creating a VM to run the code directly rather than reusing the compile+run cycle can speed things up. The VM executes slower but takes less time overall, especially with a complex language like Rust.
Way too hard.
Not a lot of people can tell the difference between a border-radius 3px 5px & 7px with their bare eyes.
It uses TRISO fuel, which are fissionable materials enclosed in a carbon and ceramic shell that's extremely tough and can handle far higher temperatures than are present in a reactor without melting.

The shell prevents the release of radioactive materials, so TRISO fuel encapsulation would turn a melt down into a reactor damaging event rather than an emergency/crisis. A runaway reactor would get hot, melt its structure, and maybe drop parts inside its containment, but the fuel wouldn't melt and wouldn't travel far. Most likely the reaction would stop as soon as the structure of the core fell apart.

Participation trophies aren't just about tokens. Everyone who runs a race can get a shirt or something to show they were there. This kind of thing has always been around. Participation trophies are for protecting people from knowledge that there were winners and losers in a competition and that they are one of the losers.
My point is that there is precedent for governments requiring companies to implement restrictions on what images can be handled by their software.

As I explained: This kind of mandated restriction is looming over AI. Companies are trying to get out in front of these restrictions so they can implement them on their own terms.

Just curious, considering Crimea held a referendum to leave Ukraine and the results closely matched the results of independent third-party pollsters like Pew Research, do you believe Ukraine forcing Crimea to stay in Ukraine was imperialism?

How about the attempted Catalan vote? Imperialism?

Or is it only imperialism when a particular form of government you disagree with politically prevents regions from splitting away?
It's not about performance as much as correctness and easiness to understand code. Functional programming removes the need to simulate (local) state in your head when trying to understand what code does. And in the places where it is inevitable, it makes it explicit and leads to a design where it's easy to track why and how things got changed.

For example, .map and .filter are now in almost every language, because they are much easier than for-loops. You see them and you know "aha, this collection will be transformed, the number of elements stays the same" or "this collection will be filtered and the elements will look the same, but some might be gone and no new ones will have been added".

Pure functional programming is similar, just that the scope is suddenly "the whole runtime/machine" instead of "a small piece of code that somehow does a loop".

Do you honestly believe that bluray players will suddenly become unobtainable without people migrating to a more superior format first? Hard copies are vulnerable to literal rot, natural disaster, unintentional or intentional destruction, etc. Sotrage is measured in gigabytes or terabytes, where a single gigabyte would be sufficient to archive most medium sized libraries.

If you truly think that hard copies are less likely to last 1000 years (assuming redundancy / tech rollover) over soft copies, you lack a complete grasp on technology.

Which should be mostly fine unless you are doing some particularly slow things or need hardware acceleration that is difficult to get via wasm.

Whatever get their job done faster. Don't host an ecommerce site as a client-side app, no one will buy your products if they don't show up on Google. Same with heavy websites, people complain often of bloated JS-based sites hogging their CPU, RAM and battery life. Doing the computation on the server is actually beneficial to the user's hardware. Non-developers don't care about client-side computing as much developers think they do.

Aside, I also can't believe I'm defending server side rendering in this day and age where people actually think client side routing is better. Around 10 years ago when React was still getting new, I would have held the same views as you. It's interesting how tech moves cyclically.

I have come to believe that the cultural obsession with extraordinary individuals is a big part of the breakdown of solidarity between Americans in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Because when your individual success becomes your entire sense of self worth you cease to see the power of collective action whether it is to accomplish some goal or to raise your standard of living.

In fact, this obsession creates a contempt for "average people" because they are the signifier and the constant reminder of one's own failure to self actualize. So not only does the culture of extraordinaryness create the grounds for alienation but even worse it reinforces that alienation by creating a class of untouchable peers due to their contemptible ordinariness.

Reconnecting with the human social organism and consciously developing a love for commonness is the only antidote as far as I know.
