Rust makes a distinction between recoverable and unrecoverable errors. Recoverable errors are the E in Result<T, E>. You can take action and recover, depending on what kind of E it is.

Unrecoverable errors are things like stack overflows or out of bounds array access. There is no reasonable way to soldier on after this, so the program should just end. Trying to continue the program in such situations only leads to pain. Like array accesses out of bounds that allow you to read unrelated memory.

But it’s still an evolving area. For example, failure to allocate memory - is that recoverable or unrecoverable? Initially it was thought that it was unrecoverable, and programs would panic if memory failed to allocate. This seemed reasonable, until folks tried to use Rust within the Linux kernel. Within the kernel, failure to allocate memory is recoverable. Rust is evolving the semantics here.

All this to say, yes, Rust does allow you to define functions that either fail in a recoverable way, in which case the calling function should handle it. Or they fail in an unrecoverable way in which case there’s nothing the calling function can do to recover. Thankfully, panics in third party code are relatively rare so this doesn’t happen in practice.

One thing I've noticed consistently, is when politicians talk about "taxing the wealthy", they almost always follow that with "earning more than $xxxk a year". This is conflating wealth with income.

Being within this tax bracket myself, I do not deny that I am biased, but I do hope this bullshit gets called out hard whenever someone brings up yet another underhanded measure to milk us (typical SFBay SWE) above and beyond the ~40% levels we're already facing...
Sorry mate, but an umlaut does not represent the same thing as a diaeresis! I don't know what you're arguing for other than that the diaeresis is archaic, which does not conflict with what I said at all. My argument was that the ë used in Russian is different from the ë used in English (and French) because they represent different things, which is exactly what you said too.
I really miss all my Flash games. Some of em were and have been ported to other plateforms for sure but most are gone. And dont mention all those weird Shockwave emulators; most of em cant run half of the games I used to play.

C seen by some for a long time as a "high-level" assembler :D, and if you choose a safe subset.. and given also e.g. how the LLVM pipeline and other compiling works, and how old and widespread C is, I think it is a clever portability and reuse a lot approach, and the fear of too many parts is exaggerated and not much different from other transpiling&compiling (that difference is also very blurry one and depends on viewpoint, don't think there is one precise definition for that?) pipelines... also not the first to do so.

Bill Gates is working on his version of circular economy, his charities feed into his investments: "The global pharmaceuticals market size is projected to grow from $1585.05 billion in 2022 to $2401.22 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 6.1% in forecast period."

"To solve all this, it's pretty simple,"

I feel if it was simple it would be fixed?
I do not follow and would love a link for my education.

Nearly all the RSU cases I’ve always seen are super simple: on date X, a given amount of shares will be given to you via vesting. You take whatever those shares are worth on that day, and pay regular tax. If you decide to hold past the vesting day, you’ll be subject to additional tax liability if the share price increases, but this additional liability will be $0 if you sell on vest day. It’s completely equivalent to getting just a variable W2 income.

In this simple framework, I’m confused as to what “discounted share price” even means. Certainly for all FAANG and big public companies it works like this.
I personally work with a woman that has 5 children and works 2 fulltime jobs. Her husband used to do all the work but he died of health issue 3 years ago. She does have her mother and sister to help her with her children. But when I talk to her about this, she understands and agrees with what I say and does it.

I'm not saying it is easy - it isn't. But when you are there, you have to do what you have to do.

I think I AM the only one who knows the solution. Because when I was in my 20s, I been there, done that.
Ask Sacler family members...
In what ways has mankind demonstrated that "tribes of men" can't cooperate? Humans have been able to live in large decentralized polities for millennia and modern archeology strongly backs this up. Göbekli Tepe (~11kya), the still-standing mammoth houses of North Eastern Europe (~15kya), or perhaps best exemplified by "the new archaic" or "monuments without kings"[^0] which is a term used by archeologists to describe the study of certain North American monument sites like Poverty Point where massive complex monuments were built by mobile groups of foragers without the need for permanent habitation. These massive geo-engineering projects were taken on by many different independent but connected tribes of peoples.

Wherever you look we see constant evidence of humanity's ability to cooperate to achieve grand accomplishments. I mean we're on the internet ffs. Ever heard of Wikipedia? Or how most modern tech companies are only possible because of the massive efforts of the open source communities? These aren't really new behaviors for humanity. In fact, I'd argue that if you take a look at the way language evolved you'd find a lot of support for the idea that it's actually a defining characteristic of humanity

No, but it's a decent approximation. Even in the case of "creating wealth", the person with more money usually gets a bigger share of the money simply because they had more money. This being Hacker News, I think we all are too close to the tech startup model, which is certainly far more equitable than others; but a lot of companies do not share fairly the value created between workers and owners.
Interesting, I have Geico and my understanding when I filled out the form was 100/300 was the max option, unless you meant needing umbrella.
It's time to retire 'edge' from our IT vocabulary
It isn't difficult at all. This is an oft repeated excuse. The rich use their wealth as collateral to purchase things, like homes, companies, investments, etc. and transfer wealth to inheritors with basically no tax. So stop worrying about trying to figure out how to tax unrealized wealth and start taxing the things that unrealized wealth helps secure and purchases. This is one way to force realization of that wealth and thus tax it as well and get it back into circulation.

Right now, the rich are extremely incentivized to remain "poor on paper", so we should remove those incentives.
And what are these “pseudononymous” identifiers that you worry about? It’s much easier to track across the web than apps.

There is so much money spent on crap by organisations and individuals around the world, and we should save money for the abjectly poor or to promote healthy habits and prevention by not trying to radically improve the human condition itself?

As for a solid foundation to discover and create things, you need to be healthy and have time first of all. The logistics of life just suck as it is now unless you are really lucky. It used to be much worse but it can get much better.
I don't believe there's ever been an official explanation of when Apple stopped using the 'i' prefix for new products, but Apple Watch came out after that date.

My guess - the 'I' prefix was tied to the Digital Hub initiative, where software and devices would tie in via your home computer to share music, home movies, photos, etc.

When it became clear that the cloud would replace having all of that maintained on a home computer for most people, adding 'i' as a prefix ended - with iCloud.
It's not Mac users dreaming to use their apps on some other OS, it's non-Mac users stumbling over articles like this one on HN and wasting time before eventually learning that this app is not for them. "99% of games are Windows only" is no longer true, thanks to Valve's Proton - but finding out if a game is Windows only is usually as easy as looking at the system requirements.
Producing value? Sometimes. Sometimes extracting rent. Sometimes speculating.

If private equity buys a pharma company and cuts research, jacks up prices to extract money from insurance, that might be "clever" but it is not really benefitting anyone, quite the opposite.

Obviously a lot of capital is used to create more value, but it does so by using labour, so it is the creativity of the people working for that capital that is adding the value mostly, while the capital sits back and enjoys it's growth. This is the concept behind public traded companies.
Do people really use their desktop bookmarks on their phones, and how? Actually even on desktop I'm parking pages in tabs, one browser window per virtual desktop, one virtual desktop per customer, plus some links on the bookmarks bar of Firefox. That basically killed my need for bookmarks. I had hundreds of them and I'm still carrying them with me but they are buried in the bookmarks menu and seldom see the light. At best they are helping firefox at completing urls when I start typing them, but that could be from the history.

I've got some pages pinned in the home screen of Firefox on my phone, a few bookmarks just in case the browser give priority to them when I type in the url. The sets of pages I use both on desktop and on phone don't overlap much. Technical documentation is on desktop, HN is on both. I surely don't want to sync tabs, bookmarks maybe (wouldn't harm me) but years have proven that I don't need it. If I want to send a page to the other device I share it with gs/kdeconnect. It works also between mobile devices with the laptop off.
You'll hardly achieve anything by it, besides really breaking spellchecking software.
Thankfully some companies just send you a QR-code via email to interact with what ever system they are using.

If I remember correctly one of my hotels I used sent me a pin code or such via email and then they had a self service to get a keycard, which used the pin code.
A normal function return is handled directly by the caller, even if the caller decides to completely ignore it. In the case of exceptions it continues to implicitly pop the stack to attempt to find a handler. The explicit vs implicit nature is quite different.

I'd also point out that in gcc and clang support nodiscard and warn_unused_result giving a function some ability to force callers to handle returns. Go, rust and even java (thanks to errorprone) have similar guardrails.

I think you also need to balance the marginal efficiency wins of not checking for errors on return with the overall robustness of your program. The likelihood that an error condition is properly handled is heavily predicated on your ability to know that it might occur in the first place. In a language where exceptions are common place make this very challenging because they heavily rely on unchecked exceptions. Languages that value error checking have tended to shun exception style in favor of returning option types.
Zero-sum assumption and lack of returns on bets seem suspicious.

Betting is a bad deal for everyone in this model (even the rich person) since each coin flip is variance for no expected gain. Kelly betting implies you should bet nothing in this game.
The problem with this live of thinking is that in reality most taxes are paid by wealthy people. The majority of people actually pay 0 taxes and in fact receive credits above their burden of 0.

Whine there’s certainly room to address fair taxation rates we should seriously consider how we spend tax revenues today. A 1.5 trillion omnibus is being rushed through Congress that’s full of pork and special interests. We just sent however many billions to a country to fight a war that has nothing to do with us.

So we spend all this money and of course it’s not enough. People say “more! Tax the rich!” Without considering the reality.

Probably, they have just more richer parents. And luck is also a factor
When people talk about "exceptions", they mean resumable exceptions that are intended to be caught. But "catching" an unwinding panic in Rust is so (deliberately!) limited, cumbersome, and unidiomatic that it doesn't qualify as an implementation of resumable exceptions. The only reason the ability to "catch" an unwinding panic even exists in Rust is to prevent unwinding across FFI boundaries, which would be UB; it's a correctness mechanism, not an error-handling mechanism.
I am looking forward to them supporting distinct DateTime types (basically used-defined clones of the DateTime type with custom behaviour). Currently using the constructor package to do the same thing, but being able to throw out a dependency is always nice.

Your source doesn't address the amount of tax collected from the ultra wealthy in relative proportion to their wealth. It only addresses the amount as a percentage of the federal budget.
So far, the entire concept if recycling plastic has been invented by Big Plastic to appease consumers that started being worried about it years ago. Plastic is barely being recycled right now because it's simply not economical despite government investment to make up for economical shortcomings. Rich countries end up shipping tons of plastics to poor countries, where the stuff gets buried or burned despite promises of recycling. The few plastics that do manage to get recycled can only be recycled a few times because the quality degrades across the process.

I hope this technology can fix the problem, but I've seen more of these revolutionary technologies in the news over the last decade. They all promise to make plastic recycling viable and say it's really going to happen this time. Only being able to recycle PET is a nice start but in practice humans absolutely suck at separating waste (and companies constantly mix plastic types, making it even harder if you really care).

I don't see any way out other than reduction of plastic use. So far, the entire plastic separation and recycling process is built on lies and deceit to make consumers think they're being more environmentally friendly than they really are. I'd be amazed if this plastic recycling technology of the month will finally chance that.
That doesn't sound like play to me, especially if you start expecting others to do it to get hired.
That's a silly reason. At simplest, you could

a) log the entire config at startup.

or

b) create a specific file with config used, if logging is too messy.

or

c) make an API to return the running config.

or

d) use envvars in a container, that you can just dump from 'env' at will.

All of which would be cleaner and saner than browsing top.
This article is not very informative. The referenced video is a couple of years old — this is all not news.

In context, a jet engine uses a significant percentage of cruise fuel consumption just idling on the ground. Many airports aircraft can taxi for well over 30 minutes just to reach the runway.

Some record setting flights have been conducted where the aircraft was brimmed on the runway and the manufacturers set minimum times for stabilising the engines before takeoff, circa 30s if I remember correctly.

Issues of blast damage go away if it's propelled by electric power. My understanding is one of the main reasons it isn't often used is that there is a real danger of tipping the aircraft over backwards if the wheel brakes are applied while reversing.

If you want to hybridise an aircraft then starting with electrifying the time spent on the ground is the low hanging fruit.
The thesis was an investigation into whether the super-rich are better at making money, but they just took widely known distributions to tell a story enforcing that view without diving in as to why that's the case.

It's the classic case of using statistics as a method to divert blame onto something else. You learn nothing but a sense of despair from these kinds of analysis.
Is this a new form of NIMBY taxation? “Tax the rich but not rich people like me!”?
More advanced languages like Koka or Eff use exception-like functionality for _every_ side effect. Every IO, every log statement, practically everything and they perform fine.
Looking at the total world population is completely meaningless. This is because fertility rate in virtually every developed country is below 2, however there are extremely poor countries where the population is exploding with fertility rates above 8.

> To put it another way, as of 2010, 388 individuals possessed as much household wealth as the lower half of the world's population combined—about 3.5 billion people; today Oxfam estimates that number as 26.

This is also completely meaningless, because that figure is largely imaginery and super illiquid. Rest assured, Jeff Bezos can't cash out of Amazon and expect to be paid the current market rate for all of his shares.

It's also completely meaningless because the world's bottom 3.5 billion people control virtually no wealth whatsoever. Makes for a good headline though
>If you mean porn

I certainly do not.
Mine include comprehensive, but not collision. True, a big part of the cost must be collision on a $50k asset. I think that's a hidden cost for people. They don't realize they're paying so much more to risk $50k every time they drive and have to spread that risk, which is still hefty.
> the cockroaches and rats won't just materialize out of thin air

In practice, you can assume they do - it's a simplified but accurate model of reality when you're not researching the life of insects and rodents.

Yes, life does not appear "out of thin air", but it constantly tries to get in, will exploit any crack in your defenses or attention to chase after anything that looks or smells like food or safety. It's simpler to just assume annoying critters materialize out of thin air if you leave the right conditions, and ensure those conditions are never present.

It's kind of like thermodynamics / statistical physics: the air around you doesn't really have "pressure" or "temperature", but you may just as well assume they're a thing, since the alternative would be to talk about kinematics of air molecules.

This combines with the observation that intelligence is normally distributed, so the rich people are more likely to be average people that got lucky, because there's more of them than smart people with a good strategy. It also applies in the opposite direction, there's more unlucky average people than true failures.
What a mess. They played the part of billionaires for a few years. Now they are going to jail for years. They deserve it but what a freaking mess. It was not worth it.
You’d expect education costs to be rising, though, as people are expected to have a higher level of education before entering the workforce than they were previously, and because career changes and reskilling are far more common than previously. It’s a bit like healthcare. You can be spending far more than you were when there was a younger population and fewer sophisticated and expensive treatments, and yet still not be spending enough.

I believe his point is about coin flipping being a fundamental force in the market. That at the basis of a market, there’s a game of coin flips going on.

True, there may be technological innovations in factories, farms, and labs that grow the size of the pie as a whole. But probably those with most market power will have most of the access to those innovations.

And even if the value of technology would be fairly distributed, it does feel to me that the underlying game of coin flips rigs the whole system in favor of the eventual oligarch.
The docs say, uh, the exact opposite though.

All the money they’ve made has been taxed. When they sell assets they pay taxes. Yes there are sone areas to address but wealthy people pay the majority of taxes.
Of course you can track down de facto ownership and streams of income regardless of de jure separation. This is a question of political will, not economical (im)possibilities.

Whenever you try making rich people responsible, they move abroad. In Norway, the super rich are becoming Swiss citizens after a recent change in taxation. Unless Switzerland takes social responsibility, they're getting away with it. But if Switzerland does the right thing, the rich will find another safe haven.

However, this is a short term issue. The long term changes require a historical change in culture and policy. Otherwise we're still very much catering to the will of old money and power structures that resembles autocracy.

The flywheel in the article is not mechanically, but electrically coupled. So while what you describe sounds about right, this is not an issue here.
Many productions specifically want film grain. Directors and DPs have very concrete aesthetic intentions when they go for film grain, so you're likely to find lots of movies with film grain added in post when they were shot on almost noiseless digital cameras. (For instance, one might scan the grain from an old film stock and apply it to the digital footage later.)

Netflix is only optimizing the pipeline here, trying not to mess with the artistic intent.
A somehow similar approach has been done some 30+ years ago for an underground train station in Milan, Italy:
