Is there any practical programming language that is memory safe in its "entirety"? Python, for example, certainly is not. It has unsafe escape hatches (via ffi, at the very least). Yet, everyone I know of says and thinks of Python as a memory safe language. I do as well.

> which makes it easier for developers to compartmentalize code to achieve memory-safety

The problem here is that this is incomplete. Many many many languages have achieved this before Rust. Where Rust is (somewhat although not entirely) unique is bringing this compartmentalization into a context that (mostly) lacks a runtime and garbage collection.

I have no problems calling Rust a "memory safe language" precisely because I have no problems calling Java or Python "memory safe languages." What matters isn't whether the language is "entirely" memory safe. What matters is what its default is. C and C++ are by default unsafe everywhere. Rust, Java, Python and many others are all safe by default everywhere. This notion is, IMO, synonymous with the more pithy "memory safe language."
>> there's a ton of C++ code in the world that isn't going to be ported to Rust, and someone is going to have to fix all of those bugs in C++ code already in the wild. So you can get paid to be that person.

That is well and good for legacy systems that cannot / will not be updated.

Android is not a legacy system and is adopting Rust and seeing security benefits.

Linux is not a legacy system and is slowly adopting Rust and may see greater use with time.

Time will tell, but so far the future is optimistic.
The instructions above can get you pretty far. But before trying this, make sure that the crypto you are using supports zero-knowledge proof or zk-proof. This way, you make it harder for law enforcements to link all these things to your identity.

"Tell me more about your cousins," Rorschach sent.

"Our cousins lie about the family tree," Sascha replied, "with nieces and nephews and Neandertals. We do not like annoying cousins."

"We'd like to know about this tree."

Sascha muted the channel and gave us a look that said Could it be any more obvious? "It couldn't have parsed that. There were three linguistic ambiguities in there. It just ignored them."

"Well, it asked for clarification," Bates pointed out.

"It asked a follow-up question. Different thing entirely."

[....]

"Sascha," Bates breathed. "Are you crazy?"

"So what if I am? Doesn't matter to that thing. It doesn't have a clue what I'm saying."

"What?"

"It doesn't even have a clue what it's saying back," she added.

"Wait a minute. You said—Susan said they weren't parrots. They knew the rules."

And there Susan was, melting to the fore: "I did, and they do. But pattern-matching doesn't equal comprehension."
Bates shook her head. "You're saying whatever we're talking to—it's not even intelligent?"

"Oh, it could be intelligent, certainly. But we're not talking to it in any meaningful sense."

Seems like Larry Ellison figured out this model where Benioff hasn't been able to (keep in mind, Benioff is a former Oracle employee).

Keith Block (Oracle) joined Salesforce as COO and then co-CEO after departing 1-year later.

Same story for Brett, he was COO and then co-CEO after departing 1-year later.

Seems like Benioff can't let go.
Apple at this point has no fear of regulatory action.

I think both Red and Blue can agree they need to be reigned in and split up.
It doesn't. You just think it does because you live (or even better, were born) in a privileged area of the planet.
It seems unlikely that it's the double colons and the angle brackets that hold people back from migrating from C and C++ to Rust.
They should have built out solar and wind power generation capacity to displace ongoing CO2 emissions, instead of wasting the capital on buybacks.

Can't you decrease those to 2 times a week then? No scrum master and you are the lead? If management enforces 5 just do three async in chat or whatever.

Agile's killer feuture is the great opportunity to micromanage and force a never ending sense of urgency.
These experiments are not the products we think users would adopt if they held them in their hands. They are more like the studies a painter or a sculptor might do as part of planning a more ambitious piece.

It's hard to predict where this work might eventually lead (that's the nature of research) but I will just say that we continue to explore the space and we have another piece we'll be sharing soon.
Police aren't trained to shoot people in the head, they're trained to shoot the "center mass" (i.e. chest area) if they need to shoot someone at all. And the main reason police have fire weapons is when they feel there is an imminent and credible threat to their life/safety, which a robot would eliminate.

I'm not saying robots can't be abused in this application, but I think you can make the argument that if deployed correctly they would result in fewer people being shot in incidents with police.
This is something I really struggle with. I think this difference of perspective is one of my greatest strengths, but in the last few places I've been I ended up burning out trying to get others to see the same things.

Have you got any tips or advice for getting better at "persuasive education" or inspiring others to see the same things?

But this is missing the obvious. Yes the US would prefer being able to maintain its tech advantage over China by continuing production and receiving of state of the art chips. And this is clearly better for them than choosing that gap by destroying TSMC fab. But if China takes over TW, that's not an option. The options are either flatten the gap or flip the gap in China's favor as it now controls those chips while the US falls back to tech multiple generations old. There is no other strategic option for the US flatten the gap is the only choice, flipping the gap is the worst case scenario for the us.

This deal is in US and TW best interest. TW is still valuable as cutting edge is still made on island. So production and economics so benefit them. US still provides military protection / defense. They are still long term partners will aligned goals. And if China does invade TW, US can continue a long fight and win by falling back only a generation or two to is smaller but important domestic production to continue supporting its defense technology needs.

I can't speak for them, but I have to assume RW also sees its best interests if China invades to lose TSMC plants but US win the war and they maintain democracy, rather than keep TSMC plants but controlled by China and US lose the war and go under full control of mainland rule.

Plants can be rebuilt, just like Marshall plan or what will happen in Ukraine. TW wants long term freedom from China - strengthening US defense's tech position helps this the most.

All the existing social platforms could also implement ActivityPub and have it working in a week. Name any other organizations that are as well-positioned to make the Fediverse a reality.

They [don't] do it, because they have a business model. Same goes for Google. The problem for google is that apparently this other tool is already available, today, though the website is currently overloaded so I can't reach it.

But if that site starts working for me, later today, why would I ever ask Google anything again?
It's hard not to read this and come to the conclusion that we're mostly dealing with something psychosomatic (and as a reminder, a psychosomatic condition does not mean you are 'crazy' - it means you are having real symptoms that are mentally induced).

> Ads are a key part of search engines, helping to facilitate the free and open exchange of information on the Web, and to connect users to helpful products and services related to their search terms.

Is just non sequitur for me. It's said in such a smooth way, in such a gaslight-ish way, that your tempted to just accept it.

But it actually makes no sense to me. I get what ads are key to: revenue, keeping the lights on, that sort of thing. But I don't see how they increase the free and open exchange of information on the web. If I sat down with a troubled couple who was having a hard time communicating, I wouldn't periodically interrupt and say "let's pause a moment for an ad. I think that's going to really open up a better and more free exchange between the both of you."

I also don't understand how it is helpful in helping me connect to products and services in a helpful way. An index (yellow pages) of what's available would help me search for a product. A rating system that wasn't gamed might help me make a selection that was best for me. But ads? We inherently distrust that we're being swayed/manipulated by them. I need to update the insulation in my attic, so I'm in the market to get some newer insulation. To wit, I've called a number of people I know who are in the insulation/builder business to get their information. Not a single one said "well, here's my opinion, but what you really need to do is check the ads, they're going to be your best source of information about how to proceed."
It is convincingly wrong though. People could read that and think it's correct.

Google results can similarly give incorrect information, but in a harder to read way

The UX definitely pushes you against mistrusting it like you would for a list of different and conflicting opinions like Google gives
Variations of "stick with the plan" and "we have visibility you don't".

I mean unless you're a climate scientist yourself, at some point you have to choose your experts to trust. Almost every climate scientist disagrees with this guy. I'm far more likely to trust the IPCC and their hundreds of experts than I am this single guy.

See especially pages 16-17 of the Summary Report for policy-makers: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6...

We're well on track to blow past 2C of warming, where every single risk/impact category as at the top of the scale ("Very High").

> People have been confidently predicting doom for millennia, yet it keeps on not happening. Humans are pretty resilient.

I'm definitely not predicting extinction, however massive climate-driven impacts are unavoidable, and large-scale war seems an almost inevitable consequence of those impacts. Large-scale war has definitely happened before, quite a few times.
Hahaha that's wild, but... I have to feel like it's abuse to use regex here!
I recently installed windows 10 on my Linux box and the amount of ads in the start menu was shocking.

Would it be ok for you then if Apple took a 30% cut of every sale made through an app distributed by their App Store? Like Amazon, or food delivery, or grocery apps, and any other app that sells something through the app?

Yeah, that's wierd. I just upvoted you to compensate.

Don’t need ads for something this useful.
Then even Java is not memory safe according to the implicit standard that you allude to here since one can use the `Unsafe` class.

Apple... what the heck is wrong with you?

This is not the time to be strengthening the rules. You've got the Digital Markets Act already entering force in Europe which is going to most likely break App Store dominance over there in just a year or two. The US has senators eyeing the Open App Markets Act again after Elon's threat (and if it doesn't pass now, when senators see an open Europe and a closed US, what about then?). You've got antitrust investigations opened in the UK. This is time to be giving concessions hoping to keep power - not doubling down!

Edit: If Apple's claims about it being "privacy and security" are true, here's how to keep power. Drop the 30% cut, make a $25-$50 fee every time a new version comes out for a quality app review from a 3rd party independent board, drop some of the more onerous restrictions, and maybe then regulators would be willing to allow the App Store to remain. Instead...

It's not very amusing to me that geek culture can't handle objectively reading writing from a discipline other than their own.

Imho, Matthew Hardeman makes the best point in the entire thread:

"Something that yet again concerns me in this discussion is an issue that I touched on previously in the discussions related to Dark Matter: that unless the program is requiring transparency as to corporate governance and management/operations authority, and establishing a basis for trust and accountability at the level of those individuals empowered by participation in the program, I believe we will continue to see these subjective trust decisions again and again. [...]

I once again humbly submit that I believe the executive and operational management teams of the CAs in the programs should be required to submit to the root program personal attestations as to their position and authority along with a commitment to inform the program promptly if anything has altered or replaced their authority. I believe there should be an explicit understanding that failures by such person(s) would be held against such person(s) individually and would bar their involvement at other trusted CAs for an indefinite period.

I yet again advocate for a measurable standard for holding CAs accountable at the executive management / operations level with costs taxed upon those persons who have made commitments to the program and failed to honor them.

It seems likely to me that one or more presently included CA could be reasonably described as owned by Blackrock or Vanguard. [...]"

I find it very ironic that in a discussion about self-censorship — remember, that was the original topic? — you want me to censor my usage of any labels to describe people.

So, what are we supposed to say? There's a problem, involving some people, and... [censored] that's all I can say.

Wow, hypocrisy much? Incredible. What happened to "We need to get away from hating people by attaching labels to them", "The only people who work hard to divide us are the politicians", and "Do not label, subgroup and vilify people"? SMH.
