Many reasons actually. The tooling is excellent (builtin package manager, test suite handling, etc.)
The language itself is also very good in that it prevents you from doing many mistakes you'd do in other languages. It's hard to show an example when you don't know Rust at all, but usually Rust programs tend to have less bugs than others.

That being said, there are also downsides - apart from the steep learning curve, compilation is pretty slow and the language itself isn't as good as some others for prototyping - if you make something simple and want to go fast, then maybe TypeScript will do a better job, despite its numerous problems.

Rust is more about robustness and correctness (and performance of course). If these are not appealing to you, then sure some other languages like Java, Go, C#, TypeScript or others can do the job.
Rust is very much not a replacement for writing a program in a language that would have a garbage collector. It's main niche is making C++ obsolete, so categories where either resources are limited due to there just not being a lot of resources available (embedded) or are limited due to you needing to squeeze as much performance out of your machine as possible (OS, drivers, numerical computing, maybe someday video games).

It's probably not a good first language, but neither was C++: that's not its niche.

> An eclectic essayist is necessarily a dilettante, which is not in itself a bad thing. But Gladwell frequently holds forth about statistics and psychology, and his lack of technical grounding in these subjects can be jarring. He provides misleading definitions of “homology,” “saggital plane” and “power law” and quotes an expert speaking about an “igon value” (that’s eigenvalue, a basic concept in linear algebra). In the spirit of Gladwell, who likes to give portentous names to his aperçus, I will call this the Igon Value Problem: when a writer’s education on a topic consists in interviewing an expert, he is apt to offer generalizations that are banal, obtuse or flat wrong.

There's probably a deeper philosophical point to make here between "ART" and "SCIENCE" broadly (and reductively) considered, but I see it as a matter of respect: Do you think the author respects the subject enough to write a factual story that portrays that subject honestly, or is the author doing a cleaned-up piece of tabloid journalism and going for readership and responses, and is simply going to use some misunderstood parts of that subject as props to make a Sweeping Conclusion regardless of what the facts support?

In short: Does the author care about facts, or do they care about making their case?
> There's a genre here on HN of someone getting banned for doing actually bannable things, and then their "Ask HN" rises to the front page for some reason

I visit HN multiple times a day, and in my experience, this sort of thing is very rare. I see plenty of posts about seemingly-unjustified bans, though, like this one.

At any rate, not sure why you're being so argumentative here. It was pretty obvious to me what OP was trying to say, and it sounds like you're just deliberately refusing to understand so you have something to argue about.

The 65C816 is another device that I think gets too much play. It's a relatively straightforward extension of an 8 bit idea to 16 bits, with a few (but just a few) more registers and some address stretching trickery to get more than 64k of (fairly) easily addressible RAM.

Which is to say, the 65C816 did pretty much exactly what the 8086 had done, including a bunch of the same mistakes[1]. Which would have been fine if these were head-to-head competitors. But the 8086 shipped six years earlier!

It could be simultaneously true that our justice system punishes people in general too harshly (or any many cases punishes when they should not be punished at all) while simultaneously true the example OP gave of rapist or violent child abuser being deserving of put on a very short leash if they are not to be executed. Honestly I think it's a testament to the mercy and leniency of society that someone who violently rapes another isn't lined up and executed after the conviction and appeals are exhausted.

Personally I'm of the opinion that almost all crimes can be solved without jailtime. The vast majority can be solved with some sort of restitution and/or rehabilitative counseling and service after which they should be given back their horse and their gun and full rights of a citizen. A slight minority just line them up and end the problem (after conviction and appeals). Prison and a life-long record are impediments to rehabilitation and ultimately harm society.

The 8086 was a... what now?
A lot of it, imo, is cultural more than mass production. Chickens are kind of a prime example of that. Factory raise them for the breasts and maybe thighs and essentially discard the rest from a consumer standpoint. I'd wager the ratio of chicken raised primarily for chicken breasts far outweigh the added consumption of thighs and wings. Wings in particular are so funny to me... most places sell "boneless wings" alongside actual wings that are just cubed chicken breasts.

If culturally, there was more emphasis on using other parts of animals in our (presumably American diet) we'd definitely get more mileage out of every raised cow, chicken, and pig.

...but this actually brings it into a more 'chicken or egg' (pun intended) contradiction. Because farm raised animals typically don't make the base for good stock since they don't consume good food. They don't consume good food because they're mass produced on a budget. They're mass produced on a budget because consumers typically pick only a few cuts of an animal and discard the rest.

I have been wondering for a while if the solution to the memory bottleneck is to stop treating cache memory as an abstraction and make it directly addressable. Removing L1 cache is probably impossible, but I suspect removing L2 and L3 caches and replacing them with working memory might fare better.

The latest iteration of this thought process was wondering what would happen if you exposed microcode for memory management to the kernel, and it ran a moral equivalent of eBNF directly in a beefed up MMU. Legacy code and code that doesn't deign to do its own management would elect to use routines that maintain the cache abstraction. The kernel could also segment the caches for different processes, reducing the surface area for cache-related bugs.

> There could be cause for legal action against Github over this

I'm sure there isn't. No one has any inherent right to a GitHub account, and their ToS allows them to ban you for pretty much any reason.

I don't quite get why you're talking about "legal angles"; there's nothing here related to the legal system. Yes, it's stupid that GH makes it so easy to give full access of your account to other entities. Yes, it's stupid that they're going to then ban you for what those entities do with that access. But GitHub has no legal or contractual obligation to not ban user accounts for stupid reasons.
I live in the Nice area. Food prices in Monaco supermarkets and some restaurants are pretty similar to the French cities around.

Of course there are fancy expensive ones in the most premium areas, but you can find French prices around easily.

Public transport (buses) is cheap, and currently they're experimenting with making it free.

To get to France or Italy, you can use a French train (SNCF) which goes every 30-60 minutes most of the time.

I get you and I think you are spot on.

We spend a lot of our time in life being rewarded for showing up on time, following instructions, and filling our time keeping busy. Learning yet another way to accomplish the same task is right in the middle of this.

Then there’s the real results-oriented perspective. Where we choose a goal, a good goal to make our world better for ourselves and others. Where you measure progress towards that goal and not just time and money spent.

And so what if all the drudgery disappeared tomorrow? If we could leave a thousand overcomplicated methods behind and just speak what we want and have it created.

Sounds wonderful to me and I would leave my tools in the dusts of history.

> Does mere access to knowledge directly increase intelligence? Very exciting implications if so.

Yes, at the population level over generational time periods. I wasn’t able to find the sources here, but I’ll keep looking and edit my comment when I do.

> (Or would you rather treat everyone as equal, let talent go to waste, and become stagnant?) I don't think these things are connected at all. If you're going to draw a link between them then do so, but putting them together in a sentence doesn't establish that.

You’re right, it doesn’t, and I think this issue is too complex and nuanced to actually reach any objective argument. I’ll gladly retract my statement under the guise that there are too many definitions of stagnation, and there are also many different factors that can affect whether and how people are motivated to work hard and contribute to society. So it's difficult to make a definitive statement about whether treating everyone equally will always lead to stagnation and I was wrong in doing so.

I want to say I appreciate and agree with most of your insights. I do truly believe that the current social-economic structure does provide many unfair advantages to those at the top, that’s an unfortunate side-effect that we have great people working on. I also appreciate you calling out some of my points that I definitely articulated incorrectly (I wrote the comment in passing between meetings).

It was much easier to program though. The Cell had two different ISAs, one for the PPUs and one for the SPUs. The SPUs also didn't have direct access to memory and the PPUs had to manage task assignment and completion, as well as setting up DMA transfers between SPU memory and main memory.

The Phi was closer to the Sun Niagara family - lots and lots of simple, slow, cores, with the note that, in the case of the Phi, the weakling x86's had mighty SIMD abilities while the Niagara had more or less standard SPARC stuff.

Neither will have amazing performance unless you have at least as many threads running as you have cores, and most of the time, at least twice as many. For single-threaded code, they were on the slow side.

Still, I always suggested people use Phis to develop because they'd get a taste of future computers. Nowadays a decent laptop will have half a dozen cores and, unless your mail client has that many threads, it'll not feel as fast as it could be.

Lets do the actual comparison , shall we? Which metric would you like, amount of information stored, people spied on, which are not accused of any wrongdoing, speed of retrieval, operational efficiency? In every comparison US intel wins hands down.

The comparison is a little unfair to the stasi, they did not have modern computers. .

But only US could place a microphone in every household and make people pay for it. Stasi wouldn't think of this.

Only downside is that the backups are made of a HUGE number of files, so when synchronizing it can sometimes take a bit of time to check the ~5k files.

Your argument is effectively the same one used against all labor protections. You can't take the existence of people willing to do a job as evidence that those people are fine with the conditions of that job. It ignores that our system coerces people into work. So yes, any law which makes it more expensive to employ someone will cause some jobs to disappear. That alone isn't a reason to avoid labor laws.

>Now because of making all these employees w-2 they require their employees to put in 40 hours a week, and work on a specified schedule.

This is a choice by the company. It isn't a requirement of the regulation. I'm not sure why 100% of the blame goes to the regulation and not the company that is actively adopting antiworker practices in response to legislation preventing them from continuing their previous antiworker practices.

> No, you continue to work for a living, just on something else that's 100x more valuable than before

This just doesn't make sense. If there's something I can (want to and capable of) work on that's 100x more valuable than what I'm doing now, why isn't somebody hiring me to do that now?

The farming example goes like this -- you may think food is less valuable than your phone because it costs less. But that's just because supply is greater and it costs less to produce, so the cost is lower.

Similarly, if some AI is capable of writing better software than I do now, I don't get to choose another job that pays 100x. It's just that my current job will cost less, and if I continue doing my work, it will be rewarded at 1/100x due to competition from cheap AI. Perhaps I'll be flipping burgers at restaurants and it will be 100x pay compared with writing software. I won't be getting 100x more wealthy though!
Usually you compile for the lowest common denominator. For example, the version of GCC I use defaults to -march=x86-64, which is a common subset of instructions that should be supported by a 64-bit x86 CPU. You can override this with an argument like -march=sandybridge or -march=native (the latter enables all instructions your current machine can handle).

In principle, you could distribute many different binaries optimized for different CPUs. However, the more common approach in high-performance software is to compile most of the program for a generic instruction set and write several versions of the hottest parts. Then you detect the supported CPU features at runtime and dispatch appropriately.

I haven't had to recover my partner after a capsize, but when folded out, the Oru is strong and sturdy. You use snap-together clasps to give it tension and strength. Additionally, it's light -- one hand carry is possible -- and so certain elements of the recovery would likely be easier. For example, I wouldn't have a problem holding it over my head and shaking out residual water as I sit in my sit-on-top.
