What makes you think that if people are stupid enough to elect corrupt government officials they will be smart enough to invest their money wisely?

If you trust the financial markets more than the government that you elect, I have a bridge to sell you.

Sure some smart people will be able to extract profit from the market but most won't. I'd rather live in a country where the people I chose can organize to ensure that nobody needs for anything rather than in a country where I gamed the system and now have to protect my loot against hordes of have-nots.

And if I can't do that, the joke is on me.

How significant is this to embedded development, eg. automotive software? I've been learning Rust on the side, and one of the main applications I have in mind is to get back into some embedded programming. I saw that there were libraries and even whole books about this [1], but I'm curious what the actual experience is like, and how much you have to wrangle raw pointers there.

[1] https://docs.rust-embedded.org/book/
To be honest that's the major one for me. Someone else has mentioned lifetime annotations, but those uncommon enough that I don't find it much of an issue.

If I was to think about it: comparing rust to zig, zig benefits a lot from error and optional types having their own syntax rather than being treated like any other type. For example a return type of:

Result<Option<usize>, Error>>

in rust is rendered (mostly) equivalently in zig as

!?usize

Note: there are some options in rust for cleaning up errors such as the anyhow library.

Disclaimer: I'm a zig fan and contribute monetarily so please weight anything I say on zig vs rust with that in mind. (I do write rust at work though)

It's not so much superior as the computers that people tend to use have become inferior in networking capabilities (smart phones, can't hold open tcp connection, random round trip time back-off, no actual routable ipv4) and the people tend to know less about how to use the internet (don't know how to upload images or use URIs, etc).

My 12 year old daughter's hand-me-down Macbook gave up the ghost recently. Out of principle I decided she'd not be getting another Mac and it would be a cold day in hell before I ever supported a Windows machine again.

This left Linux -- I did a bit of research on beginner-friendly distros, with a particular emphasis on ease of use, especially for those coming from Mac/Windows. Zorin featured in my research and in the end I shelled out for the Pro version ($30-$40 IIRC) and chucked it on a Framework laptop.

I haven't looked back. Zero support overhead, everything just works: from printers, to trackpad gestures, to bluetooth, to dual monitors, to the fingerprint reader.

She has no complaints about it either. And she gets cool points at school cos she's rockin a slick-looking machine with a funky-looking OS while her mates are on buggy Surface Pros or shitty Chromebooks.

It's not the most bleeding edge or power user distro, but for bog-standard users it's perfect.
Powering off the computer will do that. The passphrase is always required on cold boot.
Once use cases like yours become more common (e.g. 4MWh surplus), industries will adjust and buy surplus power from homeowners like you, and the nation as a whole will spend less time and effort on maintaining the grid and power plants that generate electricity.

We will be able to run power-hungry industries (e.g. steel-aluminum/smelting) for very little cost.

> And even with 5kW of solar hung for a ~100 sq ft shed, I still need propane or a generator in the winter every now and then to keep things sane in here.

Capital flight is a potential risk, true. There are any number of potential remedies on a niceness continuum ranging from using the legal system to freeze assets on the nice end to guillotines on the not-so-nice end.

People go broke if their utilities go up $100 a month. It's better if houses were built to not depend on volatile energy prices. Net zero homes basically move the monthly utility cost from an ongoing variable bill and basically prepays it into the mortgage which would have more predicable pricing. All that extra cost should also stay as value to the house.

these articles are useful because the change that has to occur is that people's dietary habits simply have to change. trying to "substitute" sugar in an attempt to keep someone's experience of food exactly unchanged is futile.

the answer is not that people should go back to using sugar, it's that food should be *much less sweet*. Sweetness itself is an addictive thing that one can and should lose their dependence on.

You're still not getting it. First-class status means that anywhere a value or variable can be used, a query or table should also be able to appear, and vice versa. This means a table or query can appear as a return type, a parameter to a stored procedure or query, a variable, and so on.

SQL just does not have this, it instead has 15 different second class ways to handle tables and queries that try to make up for the fact that they are not first-class values. These include CTEs, table valued functions, views, etc.

> Stop trying to manufacture a conflict between Buddhism and Hinduism where none exists.

The point I'm trying to make is that these conflicts are caused by trying to place people of different ethnicities, religions, traditions, etc under the same political entity when they did not consent to it. It has nothing to do with particular religions. I've posted examples of various artificial partitions in previous comments that had nothing to do with religion, yet those borders still exist today. For example, the Durand Line dividing Pakistan and Afghanistan. That has nothing to do with religion, yet the line still exists because of the British. Many of the country borders in the Middle East were decided based on negotiations between France and the UK.

Religion is one of the reasons behind the divisions, but you seem to be focused on that reason to the exclusion of all others. Just like you're overly focused on the partition of Pakistan and India to the exclusion of all other examples that have been presented.

The US has spent $100 billion in the Ukraine over the past year, with more on the way, it is sending billions a year to Israel and Egypt, is involved in Iran, China, Venezuela etc. It just stopped spending a ton in Afghanistan. All the money spent there seemed to have no positive effect.

The US seems to have money to throw all over the world for this kind of bloodthirsty waste, if it cuts it can cut there. People getting back money they put into Social Security should be the last thing to go.

The US spends hundreds of billions on these wars of choice, that can be cut very easy.

Not really, but for as bearish as I am on the government in general, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is a bright spot, and they do very good work at forecasting, auditing, and evaluating tax cuts, tax increases, budget cuts, and so forth. The average person can have faith that the CBO does mostly good work because politicians on both sides of the aisle really dislike the department when they tell the truth about their plans.

> But that's not an argument against PV solar...

It can certainly be an argument against residential rooftop solar.

In general, "industrial solar" (ground mount, high voltage strings, single axis trackers) is sub-$1/W installed. Residential rooftop solar is still $2.50-$4/W depending on where you are, because it has quite a few additional requirements (per-panel rapid shutdown in NEC 2017, various other requirements on the panel and interconnects that add cost), and, often, poor siting from partial shading reasons (chimneys, vent stacks, trees, other bits of roof, etc).

I don't mind making homes more suited to solar (oversize the main busbar with a "solar ready" panel, route conduit up to the roof, require all vent stacks be on the north side of the roof), but it's a rather uncontrolled solution that's of limited "actually solving the problem" use. Low levels of penetration are easy to deal with, higher levels start to get really hard, when you've got whole subdivisions shifting from "lots of production" to "lots of consumption" as clouds go over.

Or, we get used to less reliable, more intermittent energy again, and a lot of the problems go away. Just, that generates other problems.

The power grid is a lot more fragile than most people assume.
> Depending on who's building it, if they've not built a house out of brick before, it's very easy to make a mistake. Versus someone who's been building stick houses forever will get it right the first time.

Decent analogy. And of course if you have people of vaguely similar skill levels then the brick house is going to be way more robust. Which was my point.
Thank you, that’s very insightful.

Which option seems to you to be the best alternative? And where do you see the future of this?
If an import is used rarely, then i prefer qualifying paths instead of importing them.

This is especially true when there's similarly named items from different paths. Best example is `Result`/`Error` types. eg: std::io::Result vs normal default Result vs other crate's Result type. Another example would be math types like Vec2 between game engine and egui. String in mlua vs std rust etc..

Usually you can get around this by importing it with a different name like `use mlua::String as LuaString`. but it is still something that you need to actively do.

I think Texas continues to defy this, especially in politics. Dallas, Houston, Austin/San Antonio all tend to be more liberal and are the larger concentration of population, however they always get out voted by the rural populations. (gerrymandering has really done a number here) So in this case, the rural adds up to be large enough numbers to not be ignored. The sheer size of Texas is unique though, so it is kind of an edge case, but definitely not one to be ignored.
> hardware is cheap

There is nothing cheap about iPads, especially the models that have the same M1 processors and similar pricepoints as a MacBook. It's laughable they don't have multiple user support today, and is solely to protect sales of the devices.

I'm genuinely surprised someone would defend this behaviour. Imagine you bought any other computer for north of 1000 dollars and you could only log one person in at a time - its unheard of, and was solved decades ago.

Again, iOS is already a multi-user OS - Apple just choose to artificially restrict how you can use it.

> potentially - 1 TB home directories for each person.

This is just being silly - people log families and many users into drives far smaller than this all the time.

I'll let someone with more polars & duckdb experience to weigh in.

But in short yes. Especially if you take the perspective they're both trying to help you do operations over tabular data, where the result is also something tabular.

Duckdb is "A Modern Modular and Extensible Database System" (https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/DuckDB-A-Modern-Modula...). So it has a bit more to it than polars, as it has a lot of extensibility, for example, you can give it a pandas dataframe and it'll operate over it, and in some cases, faster than pandas itself.

But otherwise at a high-level, yes you could probably replace one for the other in most instances, but not true for everything.
Yeah often, but it only responds to requests from the local network.
I think the always-online thing is a DRM thing. I could be wrong, though.

As for the game itself: I've played it, and it's a pretty decent runner with the physics of New Super Mario Bros. Wii/U, but it's just not the same as the more full-fledged games. It's fun to pick up and play, but not groundbreaking or particularly special.
> Save your own money. If Social Security exists by the time I retire, great. I'm planning as if it won't.

I would guess that most people my age (between 35-45) got told some variant of this in their business and economics classes in university. At least, I hope they did.

Looking at Social Security budgets for about 20-30 minutes and what politicians have proposed to do to fix it is enough to make most reasonably-minded people understand that expecting anything more than token amounts of money from the program is idiotic.
Something insightful I got from a Netflix food show was the quote: “Eat whatever you want, but cook it yourself.”
