Exactly, where does it stop? Will apple also take a cut when i buy public transport tickets or flight tickets? What about hotels or airbnb?

This shit has to be stop now!

Free up the app stores and see if the customers and app devs will be still willing to fork over these extortionate fees.

And this security argument is just complete BS, a typical “Totschlagargument” that gets thrown around as needed.

Is anyone surprised? Brave was trying to push their own ad network years ago with the BAT (Brave Attention Token) to "pay" websites for eyes on their page. And guess how they paid for it? By running their own ads over native web content.

Edit: Not sure why people are downvoting this. Brave announced the BAT in 2017 and they outlined their plans for an alternative ad network then. https://twitter.com/AttentionToken/status/844929203438964736...
TFA:

> Checkmating loses the game, as it is always the top engine move. Rather than aiming for checkmate, players seek to force their opponent to make a top engine move. If a player only has one move available, that move will always be the top engine move, which loses the game.
Kind of; here's a couple of (somewhat related) examples:

- Solidity contract bug: https://twitter.com/gf_256/status/1598104835848798208?s=20

- Simple JS bug: https://twitter.com/bentossell/status/1598269697371185153?s=...

- Buffer overflow (though ChatGPT generated this one as a code example, and explains it): https://twitter.com/bentossell/status/1598269719202521088?s=...

- Fixing a Kubernetes file: https://twitter.com/PhilipZe9/status/1598303853719560196?s=2...
An other thing to note is that java does not check for overflow either. Having the “native” langage be no worse than the “managed” one is a better situation to be in than the reverse.

Also Rust allows enabling overflow checking in release, it’s a perfectly valid configuration.
> the science is still out

Same thing I heard for decades about AGW. And still do. In fact, they probably make up a majority in Congress. There were decades of people out there saying the science was still out to worry warts asking about the wisdom of dumping gigatons of CO2 into the atmosphere.

We don’t have to worry about someones grandchildren starving in 2060 if they aren’t going to be born in the first place.

I know more than a few white conservatives who have had to use IVF, and the AGW-denying IVF doctor I know rants about phthalates/plastics even though it’s good for her business. We have a 100X more opportunity to convince them of plastics action than we do of climate action.
If you don't have an analytical expression for your asymptotic variance, you do have to use bootstrap though.

For public opinion polls, the estimator is simple (i.e., a sample mean), so we have an analytical expression for its asymptotic variance.
You joke, but my current job sent me a Dell laptop with a tiny screen and a fancy 4-video port USB-C dock. Seem I'm expected to have my own monitors.

(Turns out I do have my own monitors, but they are for my own laptop, and are HDMI and Thunderbolt which the dock isn't, except one HDMI.)
Good to see some concrete evidence comparing memory unsafe languages to memory safe languages in an existing product. I just watched the Lex Fridman Guido Van Rossum episode and Rust vs C/C++ appears to be mirroring the trajectory Perl vs Python took in the ML/Bioinformatics space. Only time will tell whether Rust will reach the critical mass necessary to displace C/C++ in most new low level projects, but it appears clear to me that Memory Safe Languages which ever they may be are the future.

I don't need to program in an environment where a systems programming language is required, so for me a languages debugability and introspective capabilities are the most important. So far I think Pharo hits the sweet spot for me, but it still has a long way to go documentation wise before I think it will see any sort of adoption. I'm rooting for it though.

Because you win by your opponent making the top move (and you correctly calling it).

But I assume the top-level commenter meant make winning exactly like conventional chess - just neither party can use the top moves to get there. You could even start from move 1 instead of 2 too, take the best openings off the table.

Yeah, I'm now realizing that this might be multicast traffic I'm seeing from another device, and I do use AT&T which is making me think this may not actually be malicious.
An Interview with Jerry Lawson, Black Video Game Pioneer
You are confusing the definition of a category with the realization of category members. We say that a horse has four legs and two eyes, but horses are born with three legs sometimes, or get into an accident and lose a leg, or they are born blind, etc. That doesn't mean they stop being horses or that we invent a new species of horses that have only three legs. Similarly the existence of Siamese twins doesn't mean we need to rewrite classifications of what an adult human male is, etc. That's not how categorization works.
Ada has no "unsafe"? Ada has no ffi? Ada has no escape hatches or unchecked APIs whatsoever? Does it have any pragmas that can disable safe checking? Because if it does, it's not "entirely" memory safe.
Didgets is currently in beta with a free download available from the website https://www.Didgets.com so anyone can try it out with their own data set. I haven't decided yet what parts I am going to open source. The engine has an API so many other programs besides the browser app could interact with it.

It is a little startup with a tiny 'bus factor' so like I said, I don't expect everyone to just jump on board; but I expected to get a little more attention from the 'curiosity crowd' who just might wonder why it is so fast. It needs more resources to support other platforms (the code is cross-platform, but I have only tested on Windows and Linux so far) and languages.

Again, the browser is a proof of concept app that demonstrates that the underlying engine is not just blowing smoke. If it can't attract some interested customers and/or investors, then it will be a dead-end project just like every other promising technology that failed to get a hold in the market.
Ada has an FFI.
Yes, which is why you can’t buy ebooks in either the Amazon app or the Kindle app.

It’s not great.
Vast majority of the complaints about crypto fall into two categories:

-lawless: e.g., ponzi scheme, rug pulls, etc.
-useless: "this is just a database"

For crypto to be useful, both of these challenges need to be addressed; well-designed regulation certainly will help the former, and also its perception.
Thanks for reminding me of this. This is looking less and less malicious at this point as `10.0.0.3` is my phone (using AT&T, which is where all the traffic was destined).
Many elements in the community thought it was botched. Law enforcement in particularly saw it as botched and an officer in the sheriff’s department ran a very personal and angry campaign and successfully replaced the sheriff. Plenty of People who think the cops are too violent thought it was botched too.
Well as vendors add access to system APIs to WASM, that attack surface will indeed grow.
That would suggest that, in fact, it is not the rational choice. People are too precious about having kids. And when I say "people" I mean me. I waited until I was 40. That was stupid. I should have started sooner. Everything would have been fine.

Yikes; did not read that carefully enough.
> The problem with that is, only illegal transactions happen between parties that don't trust each other.

This is patently untrue. When I buy something with cryptocurrency, its not because I don't trust the merchant or am doing something illegal, its because I care about my privacy and dont want a huge list of my financial transactions available to visa/mastercard/paypal/the government, and I don't want to schlep to the gas station to buy a prepaid debit card with cash, which is the only other way to maintain a semblance of financial privacy if you want to buy things online.

This really doesn't make any sense. We are not poorer than our ancestors and they figured it out. People have convinced themselves that the requirements for having children are far beyond what they actually are.

In fact, I think it's precisely our wealth that scares people about the prospect. You're going to have to trade away some of that wealth to have children and people are understandably nervous about that.
It's not just you who struggles with this - it's a very hard thing to do even for those who do it a lot. The number one barrier is just recognizing that it's a thing and you can work on it and do consciously (and sounds like you did that, so that's already huge!)

In fact, what distinguishes executives is their experience, ability and willingness to get others to see and rally around a problem or goal - which is why I positioned this to the person I was responding to as an opportunity. If you can figure this out, your career (and life) unlocks to the next level.

Now to answer your question, some practical advice:

1. Most often, people conflate problems and solutions and just say "we should do X" without making the person first understand and agree that there's a problem to which X is a solution. So when you get pushback on X, is it because the other person doesn't think it's a good solution, or did you not even help them understand that there's a problem to begin with?

2. People often fail to evaluate whether problems are relevant, and to communicate that relevance. EG, have a solid answer to "who gives a fuck?" Like "this system is not well designed and I want to refactor it" - "who cares?". "This system is hard to work on, and we work on it all the time, so our feature delivery velocity is only half of what it could be" - now I am listening.

3. If you lost people, troubleshoot where you lost them. "You don't agree with my proposal to refactor the system, so I just wanted to double check if I had explained the problem well. To remind, do you agree that our feature velocity is slow? (yes/no) If yes, do you agree with me that the root cause of the slowness is the complexity/messiness of the underlying system? (yes/no) Do you agree that my proposal to refactor it will address it (yes/no) Do you just think now is not the time we can afford that investment (yes/no)." etc. Walk them slowly through the conversation, and if you ever get a "no" you didn't expect - dig into that. Is it because you didn't explain something, or because the person knows something you don't? It's not THAT different that debugging code, by trying to find the place where it disconnected from what you expect. But it takes time and confidence to stick with this process.

4. Write it down and have someone read it and tell you if you actually got the point across clearly. Writing things down helps me establish the logic to my intuition which is what enables me to do #3 better.

5. Realize this will never feel easy because it's hard, as long as you're trying and learning from the experience you're doing all you can be doing.

6. Take a class or read a book on negotiations (negotiations is just a process of understanding the other side's position as well as your own and talking through it in a way that finds a solution that works for both).

Good luck. Happy to answer anything else.
Just finished Day 1. Series of prompts were:

- --- Day 1: Calorie Counting --- (verbatim copied and pasted the problem text)

To solve this problem, we need to read the list of food Calories and keep track of how many Calories each Elf is carrying. We can do this by keeping a list of the Calories carried by each Elf and updating the list as we read the input.

(gave the answer here in Python-like pseudocode)

- Solve the above problem in Python

(gave the answer in actual Python)

- Give me the answer but with the input hardcoded also (wanted to try some input hardcoded just to see if it works)

(worked)

- I'm getting an error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 18, in <module>
ElfCalories[-1] += Calories
IndexError: list index out of range

The error IndexError: list index out of range means that you are trying to access an index in a list that does not exist. In this case, it looks like it is happening when you try to add the Calories to the current Elf (ElfCalories[-1] += Calories).

The problem is that you are not adding a new Elf to the list when you encounter the first non-blank line in the input. This means that when you try to add the Calories to the current Elf, the list is empty, so there is no -1 index to access.

To fix this, you can add a new Elf to the list when you first encounter a non-blank line in the input, like this:

(fixed the error)

- Give me a function that reads in a file and solves the previous problem with the elves

(gives the answer)

- Give me the same solution above but with the ability to input a link address to download the input file instead

(gives the answer but the code itself didn't work, so I manually copied and pasted the input file and added it to the folder, which then gave the right answer)

The blog speaks to this explicitly, in the "what about unsafe Rust" section. The tl;dr is that the number of unsafe sections is a small fraction of the total code size, and it's much easier to audit the usage of unsafe, as the reason to justify it is focused. Thus, the use of unsafe in Rust is not a significant driver of actual vulnerabilities.

I think this has always been the goal, but it wasn't obvious at the outset that it would be achievable. The fact that we now have empirical evidence in real shipping products is significant.

I take it you're talking about removing street parking altogether? If they just remove a few parking spots on each block for dumpsters, I can only see that leading to more tension and disputes over the even scarcer parking spaces. Why anyone would want to drive in Manhattan is beyond me.
What I like about this language is the crazy amount of creative and insightful discussions about language features and stabilization.

It's because Rust hits the spot for MANY different domains and people. System programmers, functional programmers, backend, db engineers, GUI, devs from the formal verification/mission critical camp, OS devs, graphics and even frontend with WASM.

For me personally, the thing I miss in Rust is better const fn/comptime/metaprogramming (like in C++). Without them, I find writing generic high-perf data structures quite tedious (and proc macros just aren't a suitable replacement for generics)
