> It is - as long as you don't use unsafe.

That's what I tried to show in the previous post: it's just not true, because if you rely even on an unsafe function from the standard library affected by a CVE, you're just fucked as if it was in C, C++ or other languages. The only difference is that you don't know what's happening under the hood and you feel "safe" because that's how they sold the language to you. Until you get hacked and "hey we didn't know...".

You just use that "unsafe zip/unzip" function you find in the docs, and with maybe with the wrong input (a weird filename or so) it happens to create undefined behavior that opens up the door to vulnerabilities.

I really believe that Rust, Swift and lots of new[er] programming languages improve in terms of memory safety (at least on the high level), however, we need to admit that they are being sold for what they are not -> memory safe. When I read memory safe it means that it cannot happen at all, and therefore I don't have to think about that kind of stuff when I write a program.

It'd be more honest to say: it's memory safe until:

- you use unsafe

- the libs you rely on use unsafe (and go figure once you start to pull a lib that pulls another lib etc.)

- the standard library functions you use use unsafe

It's an important remark, because the next generations of programmers will build programs based on a false assumption - that they don't have to worry about certain types of errors, while it's just not true.

EDIT: maybe it's just my definition of memory safe too "strict", not sure. Memory safe to me means -> it just can't happen. That's it.
I have never noticed any friction when performing any task on my XPS. I will admit I'm not a Mac/Apple guy myself, so for me it's the opposite (I'm much slower on my work Mac than doing the same thing on my personal Dell)

I'm a senior Android engineer with 10 years of Android experience and have worked on everything on the mobile development front, from complex UIs to extensive backend work, including consuming and interacting with REST APIs. Technologies I’ve worked with include ViewModels, Coroutines, LiveData, Flows, RxJava, Retrofit, Jetpack Compose, Room and others.

As a member of exclusive developer networks such as Toptal and Gigster I have been working as a remote developer for the past 6 years for enterprise companies like Johnson&Johnson and smaller companies like some Y-combinator funded startups.

I’m available for work on full-time and part-time positions.

I've worked both in industry and academia (non-tenured). Reading your post gives me the impression that you haven't worked in industry and thus are afflicted with the grass is greener syndrome. Totally agree with @oumua_don17, most large companies are very much woke so they have similar peer-to-peer, be consensual and nice to one another ethos ... and nothing really gets done.

Since you are tenured and "have no boss", why don't you try being more assertive. Stake out your territory and growl at all intruders. Adopt a persona with more ego. Make wilder claims and deliver those papers, etc.

From what I have seen of European industry, there are many favorable situations for industry - academia collaborations. You could identify areas where your specialization can deliver desired results and contact companies in your area in relation to establishing R&D collaborations. In many cases, there are government subsidies and grants which make it even more enticing for industry partners.

Political speech, especially unpopular political speech, is among the speech that I think is most deserving of free speech protections.

I specifically want the political speech of the people most ideologically opposed to my point of view to be able to make their speech, free from government intrusion on it. I will almost surely not like it, but I will defend vigorously their right to say it.
What makes you think that? The article says that one of the coauthors used to be a world champion, which suggests to me that there is some kind of competitive organized league.
In the article, they quote 911 dispatchers who say they like the feature and would rather have mistaken 911 calls than miss a real important crash.

The article also makes it clear that the feature is only being activated on ski slopes, not by people who are "falling down" or "dropping their phone".

Overly long meandearing sentences are very much the point of those books. The form and content reflect each others.

War and Peace is also just a style exercise fashionable at that time among russian (and elsewhere) literary authors.

It's like a fantasy author writing an "epic fantasy", what makes it "epic" compared to regular, largely it's the number of words.
Sure, and I don't think anyone would say "shadowbanning" is when your tweets don't show up in the timelines of people who don't follow you, or in the trending section. It's about down-weighting in the feeds of people who do follow you.
But, doesn't TCP/IP also fundamentally power and enable almost every conceivable ostensibly "bad" thing happening on the internet?

I hate upvoting this too but it's pretty clear that:

1) advertising does not belong in Settings

2) notifications - especially system notifications - should not be abused for pushing ads

With regard to iCloud - 5 gigs is stingy compared to Google drive etc., but it's more than enough for the most essential parts: iCloud keychain, continuity, and storage for non-media apps like contacts/calendar/reminders (if you use them). The part I object to is using the OS for advertising.
I've just watched a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYQbGHgaWbM
that talks about "original" Stratego, a game created in 1947 by Jacques Johan Mogendorff. It might be nostalgic for you.

Searching to find out whether "original" is the current version, I've noticed that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratego#Versions answers your question

"European versions of the game give the Marshal the highest number (10), while the initial American versions give the Marshal the lowest number (1) to show the highest value (i.e. it is the #1 or most powerful tile). More recent American versions of the game, which adopted the European system, caused considerable complaint among American players who grew up in the 1960s and 1970s."
I have no reason to do so, and have better things to do with my time.

I decided early on to stay away from cryptocurrencies; everything in the space I've seen ever since has reinforced that decision. Please respect this.

The Japanese learning space feels so crowded. Most are marketed towards beginners, which makes sense when you see statistics (most folks give up).

The top tier tools I recommend anyone are Wanikani and Bunpro.

Beyond that, reading!

I tried a site dedicated to it, but realized that I'm too much of a picky reader to do anything but read things I find interesting.

So I read japanese and english books side by side now.

I wish there was a better way, but tools crafted for intermediate folks just don't have a market given the small subset who gets there.

We've never found anything that works better. For any given idea discussing and examining the positions for and against it is still the best way to get to the truth. The more transparent that process is, the better.

Conspiracy theorists don't care about facts or truth. They will act as they do regardless, but free speech ideals make it very difficult for echo chambers to exist because all ideas can be publicly challenged.
> Not really, the Discord API will probably supply some sort of status per user in a given discord channel.

They definitely could. But their rate-limiting schemes cripple any large-size integration. When you have up to a few hundred users, that may work. But if you have thousands of users triggering calls to the Discord API through all the apps that you can connect if Discord even allows it, then you will hit their brick-like rate limits way too fast.

Patreon is much better with that - people can connect all their apps, websites, Vimeo, Discord, Discourse, even desktop software that they distribute, and get them work with their membership at Patreon. There are even GTA servers, GTA mods that distribute member-only benefits to their users via Patreon. I'd even say that its a very good way for desktop software makers to monetize their apps too. Like the PC benchmark software maker OCCT does. (https://www.patreon.com/occt)

> Well, my point was more about how, in the era of GUI's, when working ON GUI's, the idea that vim is somehow miles "better" doesn't necessarily hold up, and measuring how deep your vim knowledge goes is a bit of a nerd dick measuring contest these days, but your point is taken.

But who was making that claim? Yours was a top-level comment, so I can only suppose that it was responding to the article; but I do not find your claim in the article—specifically, I only find two occurrences of the quoted word ‘better’ in the article, neither of which is even mentionining GUIs.

Myself, I have never used any other editor, GUIs included, that matches the experience I have with vim, and I'm a pedestrian user of vim at best. As long as vim keeps existing, it doesn't bother me that other people prefer other experiences; so why inveigh against people with different tastes to yours, or different uses for their text editor from yours, who prefer vim and, preferring it, want to learn how to use it well?

Antitrust is not just about market share. It's about anticompetitive practices.
This is actually just a building code issue. In other cities, ordinances mandate trash rooms or trash chutes for mulitfamily buildings to avoid these issues. One could argue "but nyc grew before sane building codes," but so did boston, or chicago, and plenty of other denser cities that don't have this issue because they have sensible ordinances in place regarding waste management.

I'm willing to bet landlords don't want to make these investments to their properties in nyc, and have more of a voice in local government than their tenants, who are probably mostly indifferent about the issue at this point anyhow.
Genpax | Engineers (full stack, frontend/backend, product, devops) | London, UK | ONSITE (hybrid/flexible) | https://www.genpax.co/

Genpax is building a game-changing bacterial analysis platform. Using bioinformatics, we can help hospitals take early and effective action against outbreaks of MRSA and other pathogens. This is an opportunity to have a real-world impact on thousands of lives each year.

At Genpax our goal is to radically increase the utility, scalability, and speed with which whole genome sequencing (WGS) data delivers infection control solutions for human and animal healthcare worldwide. This will enable proactive control at early stages of outbreaks, and to respond appropriately to more dangerous or more antibiotic resistant strains. We have developed unique solutions to address the challenges and our goal is to provide access to these solutions in a fully scalable system.

There are really interesting engineering problems to be solved: scaling and optimising our analysis pipeline and the bioinformatics algorithms we use; building out our interactive graph-based user-facing product; developing cryptographic techniques for analysis of anonymised data. At the moment we're using Python, GraphQL, React/TypeScript, Postgres and AWS.

I just switched to iPhone from Android after 10+ years on Android.

iPhone is everything that I expected Android to be, but has failed to become. As the smartphone market has matured, iPhone and Android are essentially at parity in functionality.

Android is completely fragmented and isolated. Every brand is pushing their slightly broken version of their integration. Everything is buried behind clicks/apps/configurations. I've been amazed at how well my various Apple devices integrate and how well they optimize for the flows that I care about most.

For example, using the AndroidTV remote requires closing your current app, pulling up the app launcher, scrolling to AndroidTV, waiting for the app to load, waiting for the app to find devices, pick a target device, wait for the device to load, try to use a half-assed AndroidTV app. Switch back to whatever app you were using before.

By contrast, iPhone places it in the command center. Pull down from anywhere, click the remote-icon, boom, control your TV. Doesn't even mess with your current app.

Now thinking about it, is there any need for an AGI model? Is this a classic case of a (magic) solution looking for a problem?

There are for sure use cases for inference models in generalized (or rather ill-understood; or even highly dynamic) non-linear systems, and deep learning models kind of ace at that—given enough training data and a lot of computational power. However I’m not really sure what we will use AGI for.

They are basically conventions for Python but the actual instructions I just found are unexpanded in the README on the GitHub repo. You have to run one of the commands which downloads the model and converts it for you to Core ML. If you've never used Hugging Face, you'll need to create an account to get a token and then use their CLI to login with the token to be able to download the model. Then you can run prompts from CLI with the commands they give.
Goretex is made from PTFE which is pretty safe at normal environmental temperatures.

But, yes, the additives we use were picked for practical reasons and only later learned to be unsafe.

Phthalates are generally the most concerning plasticizer but they’re being phased out in favor of safer alternatives, and even safer alternatives are being intensely researched. According to this website [0] non phthalates account for 20% of all plasticizer today an expected to grow 4% in 2022.

What I find strange is the assertion that my cheap Chinese steel water bottle is somehow safer than a food grade PET water bottle from a reputable manufacturer.

Yeah, I've heard people say this, but I can tell a big difference between people who eat a lot of fruit and people who eat a lot of processed sugar.

That's not the definition of a monopoly, unless we're describing some sort of textbook/theoretical concept. Spotify are certainly a monopsony in their relationship to artists/studios. The whole business model depends on and assumes market power. They're absolutely a monopoly in normal language.
The difference between the high end of the range and the low end is more than $2000 / year over 20 years can make up.
The threat is more of an insider one, and the human element is always the weakest link in the chain.

> If you want to go further, you can disable unsafe in a crate by adding #[forbid(unsafe)].

Cool, so it's possible to exclude dependencies which include unsafe stuff! That's awesome.

See, this is the kind of stuff I was looking for.

From the perspective of a team writing new Rust code:

1) Don't allow unsafe (you can have an easy code search for this)
2) Forbid unsafe cargos

Finally: how do you catch unsafe in the standard library?

Sounds to me like you just don't want to take a stab at any of the problems that actually occur in centralized power structures, and you'd likely say the same thing to anything in any subject via armchair.

Why should anyone assign any credibility to what you say when you've been disingenous yourself upfront and put your own words in other people's mouths.

Key elements of socialism are centralized power structure, lack or eroding of property rights, and issues often revolve around corruption, monopoly (which is often called capitalism, though its not), seizures, lack of accountability, and the limited production receives little benefit from divisions of labor tending towards the lowest common denominator.

Why should anyone listen to you if you can't even add anything to the conversation (likely because you don't know)?
My understanding is that with v3 google started requiring that app developers send their private keys to google, as a requirement for inclusion in the play store (using the 'Play Encrypt Private Key (PEPK) tool').

In light of that I guess it wouldn't be shocking if there were similar requirements for vendor's platform keys.
Also, HTTP tends to use gzip in-flight, and modern office document file formats also use compression, making any potential space savings for UTF-16 CJK text completely negligible in these common cases. UTF-8 and UTF-16 are basically the same size after compression[0].

People can agree to disagree on the value of the walled garden. The problem is that "Just try other fields for a real commercial app" isn't really an option; not for a commercial app that wants to make money. Clearly this is not because the App Store offers a better developer ecosystem than other platforms. It just enjoys entrenched market share.
