Some of those older architectures are supported by the Linux kernel, which is adopting Rust. Giving GCC the ability to compile Rust code maintains support for those platforms as the percentage of Rust in the kernel grows.

There are also embedded applications, of course; plenty of crappy manufacturers still give you a GCC fork as your only compiler for their dedicated hardware. The ability to get Rust hooked into those compilers can help keep the ecosystem up to date.

Even companies maintaining their own software sometimes take a long time to add support to LLVM. Take for example Espressif's Xtensa fork that is only now starting to get merged (if https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-request-for-upstream-tensil... is to be believed). Many patches are still waiting for review, so it'll be a while until LLVM finally supports Xtensa (and with it microcontrollers such as the ESP32). GCC has had Xtensa support for ages (Github lists xtensa.h going back all the way to 2002) and I doubt Espressif is the only company in this position.

"Just do the work" sounds easy but that work can take years. Getting modern Linux versions to compile may not be enough to drive companies to put in the effort; many may prefer to simply never update their kernels past the current LTS version again.

Adding a frontend to GCC works around this problem quite efficiently. It also makes it easier to port existing code to these platforms; sure, the lack of a borrow checker drops all guarantees Rust has been designed to provide, but if you're not writing any code, you don't need those anyway.
For some fairly absurd definitions of "endanger", yeah.
Yes, the Covid lockdowns are not helping, but I read (sorry for conspiracy theory) that these aren't really about Covid, but the real goal is to disrupt western supply chains as part of hybrid warfare.

There is another aspect - Military Indistrial Complexes waking up around the world - and those under sanctions especially, buy MCUs and other parts from regular channels creating those shortages. For instance STM32F7 and H7 that are well used for control boards in drones and other military equipment are still unobtainium and unfortunately Chinese have not managed to clone them yet.

>It's not more expensive because insurance companies are charging you, their costs are passed through from providers.

They fleece you solely through their existence. Polish government "single payer" had less than 200 million dollars spend on operating cost - 0.8% of overall costs. Just United Health spend 11 billion dollars on that, compared to 52 billion dollars spend on medical costs.

This is all of human history. It's a hard course in the frequent application of inhumane principles and failure to understand scale and sustainability. "Software" was never going to change human nature.

So, the OP's question itself is, at best, not an unworthy question but an incomplete question. The software industry was never going to "go right". You may as well ask "where human society went wrong".

Or whether human society has ever gone right, at scale.

It's because app notarization doesn't involve review. It's an ahead of time virus scanning and they presumably archive the apps as well to be able to go back later and find equivalents when new malware is identified, but notarization itself is fully automated and takes only a minute or two.

Being a billionaire is like ascending to a higher plane of financial being where the trivialities of normal day to day expenses no longer matter to you. Unless you do really stupid things with that money it’s almost impossible for a billionaire to get poorer.

It’s a limit break on the functionality of capitalist society which regardless of the ethics of capitalism itself requires some sort of nerf/patch to prevent the billionaires from exploiting the rest of us and preventing us from striving to be what we want, wether that be a broke artist or a multi millionaire real estate developer.

> despite being fairly safe, is still a risk compared to fusion

I recommend you read up on the Gen IV reactor designs. They’re totally safe - meltdowns are impossible because of the way the reactor is built. If anything catastrophic happens, the reaction stops and can never get to a runaway reaction (physically impossible). Look up Gen 4 reactors. Those will be available before fusion even gets off the ground (and I’ll note that fusion has 0 reactors built so who knows what kind of safety issues actually come up when engineering theory hits the road).

Even Gen III reactors are fine to put up everywhere (20x margin over Gen II) and Gen III+ reactors continue with the theme of adding passive safety measures that would prevent accidents like Fukushima and Chernobyl. Critics who rate any possibility of accident as unacceptable will never be pleased but that’s not a reasonable position to take because nuclear energy isn’t built in a vacuum and global warming and existing coal power poses a significantly higher threat and renewables and batteries simply can’t scale no matter how hard we believe.

Fukushima and Chernobyl were Gen II designs which do have a cost advantage and EVEN WITH THOSE ACCIDENTS those designs are safer than existing coal and LNG power plants we are fine with having all over the place (nuclear is slightly safer than wind). Even Gen II designs built today are a fair bit safer than Chernobyl and Fukushima. Fukushima also ignored many and repeated safety warnings from internal and external reports although critics will generally point to this as a general criticism against all reactors (even though Fukushima still failed comparatively harmlessly all things considered).

Even with all of that, the death rate per kWH generated is drastically safer than coal and on par with wind and solar. Also construction costs tend to go down when the regulatory environment doesn’t inhibit building reactors due to political fears that aren’t grounded in the actual engineering.

I’ll also note that China is building many many nuclear reactors and Russia is also following suit. So from a competition/national security perspective, China and Russia both have access to significantly more clean energy and more energy independence than we do.

Look. I understand there are problems with fission reactors. They remain the only feasible way to generate nuclear power in the next 60-100 years at scale. Yes there are downsides and risks. However there’s one big upside vs fusion: it exists. It’s possible to build these plants now without physics and engineering breakthroughs we haven’t made yet. The advantages of fusion are safety, nuclear waste management, theoretical proliferation concerns. There’s no reason to believe construction costs will be significantly lower. Even if they are, we’re not even close to the first real commercial power plant even with this achievement as impressive as it is from a progress perspective.

Expose yourself more to cold. Take cold baths/showers. Swim in cold sea (if possible) (do not suddenly shock yourself though, enter gradually and slow). Practice Wim Hof Method. Do not sit for long periods of time and walk around at least 5 minutes after every hour of sitting. Avoid stress and practice meditation. Ear less carbs and more fibers/vegetables/meat.

Once you get used to these, it's extremely unlikely that you'll get cold again.
I had covid this year and definitely a cold or two. Had the influenza vaccine and COVID booster(Pfizer) in September and haven’t been sick since then so, I can recommend that.

Also, once I start feeling something come up I drink a sachet of vitamin C booster (which has an array of other stuff including b12 and zink) that seems to really pick me up.

Running outside versus the gym. I run 2-5km every other day, but I go outside. I just have like a shirt/sweater/down jacket on as layers to keep warm since it gets between -10 and 5C during the day. Extra sweating makes me feel great.

> I've read the capsule image, watched some of the trailer, looked at several of the screenshots and still can't tell you what the gameplay loop is.

Interesting. I think I sussed out the gameplay loop almost immediately because it resembles Chip's Challenge[0]. Maybe that's misleading, but to anyone who grew up in that era I'd think that's what would immediately come to mind.

> The art is not good enough by a mile.

Disagree. It could be a little better, but it is appropriate for what it is aping and plenty readable. Many many games have done well on art of about this quality or worse.

> no one cares how many hours of gameplay

I do, and so do a lot of people if How Long to Beat is anything to go by. In my case though 40hrs is too many and would be a negative.

You should add a more specific region location to receive more insightful feedback. HN is an international community.
I think the global problem is that medicine has improved so much that, unlike a hundred years ago, it's impossible to provide the full extent of modern medicine (which is huge!) to everyone, so some form of rationing/filtering is inevitable and necessary.

You can do the rationing through market forces, where people who can't afford it get less care; you can do the rationing through some other allocation system (e.g. priority systems, or long queues, or lottery, or committee allocation) which in effect still mean that not all people get everything.

If you want to say "In our society, everyone gets healthcare" then you have do define "healthcare" narrowly, which includes some services but not everything technically possible - I mean, if we have services that take more than a man-month of labor for each month of prolonged life (and there are some) then that's not possible to provide for everyone always even from a purely mathematical standpoint.

Nvidia's forays into metaverse technologies were the first that actually felt like they might have value to me.

- 3d real-time digital twins of things like factories, wind farms, or cities to be used for optimizing assembly lines, kwh, or self-driving software.

- Pipelines that connect 3d modeling tools together in real time, so you can update something in Maya, Blender, or Autodesk CAD and immediately see it updated in all the other places.

- Cloud technology for offloading expensive GPU rendering at scale

- etc

Nvidia seems not to be trying to recreate a video game version of Facebook, but rather a suite of industrial tools with real time 3d rendering at the core.

The worst example of UI lag I've ever seen is on the shiny new treadmills they installed at my local gym a few years ago. While there are a few physical controls, most of them are now touchscreen-based. The speed-up and speed-down controls adjust the target speed, but the only visual feedback shows how fast the treatmill's currently running, and there's no indication of whether it's reached the target speed, which can take several seconds...

So a new user hops on the treadmill, leans on the speed-up button until it feels about right, lets go then hammers the speed down button in a panic as it keeps getting faster! Fun to watch, but a poster-child for how not to do UX!

I agree with this, with some caveats. If the publisher deems you to be a threat, they will harass you with fraudlent DMCAs regardless of their validity.

Good way to filter out candidates that are either ignorant of the requirements and/or do not "buck" the system. Realistically, it's either a company that doesn't think this will be enforced, doesn't think the punishment would outweigh the benefits, or circumvents the requirements legally such as posting a single announcement in their lobby (public place) that does list the salary range.
I disagree. We need competition. I'm not using (even avoiding) LLVM based toolchains, and not touching Rust even with a 100 foot pole because of that.

On the other hand, I acknowledge that LLVM kickstarted GCC development and made it better in thousand ways better, agile and flexible-minded (in terms of developers maintaining it).

Similarly, having two Rust compilers, nudging each other to be better is a great way to make a language more general, widely accepted, resilient and more free & open. Also Rust well be much more stressed and tested as a result.

> I hope it will be used only where necessary

I hope both will be used widely, and make Rust a better language with much better accessibility.
