Yeah healthcare is for sure better in EU and so less of a benefit, but I still get additional insurance through my company and most white collar jobs do. It's for the extra costs of hospitalisation such as upcharges for a single room and other costs general health care doesn't cover.
You are generalizing. This is a very isolated incident, and one that I as a Rust dev am baffled about. It seems poorly handled by all sides involved.

Have in mind that 99.99% of Rust devs out there chose it on technical merits and couldn't care less about their internal infighting even if we were paid to care.
Oh yea just call and talk to someone its easy and its not like you are going to be put through the ringer talking to 10 different people over several weeks inexplicably over several continents.

Ah yes. Well, very slow fuse. He participated in suppressing the samurai uprising in 1877. Ōtsu incident was in 1891. I'm sure there were many other contributing factors. Thanks for explaining.
True, although if we actually can design babies the need for a "stud" drops a lot. Two people (or one person I guess) wants a kid, so they start from their DNA, and modify it as they please.

The worst thing about this shitshow of a thread is that those of us accusing the Rust leadership of being woke and those of us accusing the blog post author of being woke don't seem to have gotten each other's memos.

If we can just all get on the same page about this, we'll be able to figure out who it's appropriate for us to hate, as levelheaded software engineers who never let emotions cloud our judgments.

Married people vs singles or vs long terms partners living together?
Is it the marriage contract that brings the happiness? Or is it a lifelong relationship with someone they love? Do such studies have a reporting group for “we’ve been together 40 years but didn’t get married”?
Doesn't mean marriage affects your happiness.
In the US that would be called a common law marriage and basically ends up creating a marriage that is recognized by the law (for good or ill). Basically if you say you're married, then you're married. I assume the American tradition comes from English common law because of the name, but I doubt it's unique to those societies.
It would be interesting to see how fuzzy and subjective logic evolves when powered by different numerical systems.

For example, surreal numbers are much more expressive than reals, and there are ways to express gaps as first order concepts (although not strictly a number) that maps very well to this space. I just skimmed through Audun Jøsang paper and the ideas of Belief/Disbelief to represent uncertainty resonates with Conway's construction of surreal numbers quite a bit.
Compared to people in cohabitating couples? Are singles included?

It could also be that people who are generally happier tend to be those to get/stay married.

I also wonder if there is some sunk cost psychology involved when surveying those later in life.
Not really, very few diagnoses benefit from such historical data.

Any lab value flagged as abnormal is typically >95%ile meriting some form of further investigation (whether that’s continued follow up/repeat blood work or a different test depends on what we’re talking about).

The tests that could be physiologic for a patient outside of reference ranges (e.g. mild LFT elevations) will often just get repeated to establish stability as you propose. There isn’t a compelling argument to do this prospectively before symptoms start.

Are you kidding? I grew up in Turkey and they were big there, as well as in Europe (another now forgotten blast from the past is C C Catch). I bought their In the Middle of Nowhere album, that was the year I graduated from HS. We followed them closely, eg Thomas’s Nora necklace, the weird guitar/synth thing or that Dieter played, the fact that Nora’s jealousy came in between them, etc.

Looking at Spotify their top songs have robust play numbers.

On a related note, in case the younger crowd here is interested: Animotion is also an interesting group, watching their Obsession clip on YouTube tells you what those times were about.

Sadly none of these groups were/are known in the US. One of my “if I were a rich man” projects is to open a nightclub that only plays 80s, including these synth gems.
We are the C. Resistance is futile. Your technological and paradigmatic distinctiveness will be added to our own. The syntax will be clunky. It will be full of dangerous and ugly ways to misuse it. You will be adapted to single pass compile. Lower your shields.
Bought a house together and are high earners? I thought marriage was the best way to buy a house with someone, because of all the default legal considerations.

For example, if you die, in marriage the house easily passes to your partner. Otherwise, it may go to next-of-kin.

Also divorce offers a structured way to manage ownership after a break-up.

I am not particularly fond of our marriage system, but LGBTQ fought for marriage rights for a reason.
It’s really hard seeing a tsunami take out Seattle, given that there are tall mountains between it and the Pacific Ocean, the tsunami would need to develop in the sound, which should be impossible. We can still be taken out by a earth quake or maybe a mudslide when Rainer erupts and it’s glacier melts?

I used to say things like "I like all music, but country", especially when I was younger. But then I started dating someone who grew up in the south (Georgia and Texas) and I've been exposed to many country songs, spanning many decades and I've found myself enjoying some of them. It's still pretty low on my list of favorite music genres but I can have a good time listening to it.

Not all country music is the same. I lean towards country from the 90s and before. Dolly is definitely my favorite. I enjoy the 90s pop country of Shania Twain and others around that time. Garth Brooks "Friends in Low places" is a fun song for Karaoke, so is Kenny Rogers's "The Gambler". There's a song by Jo Dee Messina called "Heads Carolina, Tails California" from the 90s that has been stuck in my head recently.

All this is to say, it's a big genre with many styles and artists, you might find a song or 2 you'll enjoy.

Glad you mentioned that Khamenei article by name. It came up in a search so I was reading it. It seems to be inspired by a work in 2013 that has much the same message. One book especially but three books total. Without paying for those I can't judge the claims fully.

The gist of the article is that American sources differ from British ones when it comes to the period of 1917-1919. It spends a big chunk of its length making the case that the Irish famine was an intentional genocide and a cover up by Britain. The thesis of the article seems to be that Britian did the same thing to Iran.

I can't come to a clear conclusion. The American sources aren't quoted or cited directly in the article, instead only indirectly through works that used them. At first I thought it was based off of a 2013 work but that is a 2nd edition of something originally written in 2003. I also can't tell how they increased the death count beyond an additional two million.

I agree that this article is very likely to be biased. Modern Iranian politics could have an influence. However I can't say more without further research.

Here is a quote of a Wikipedia citation of World War 1 deaths:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I_casualties#cite_no...

>Ward, Steven R. (2014). Immortal, Updated Edition: A Military History of Iran and Its Armed Forces. Georgetown University Press. p. 123. ISBN 9781626160651. "As the Great War came to its close in the fall of 1918, Iran's plight was woeful. The war had created an economic catastrophe, invading armies had ruined farmland and irrigation works, crops and livestock were stolen or destroyed, and peasants had been taken from their fields and forced to serve as laborers in the various armies. Famine killed as many as two million Iranians out of a population of little more than ten million while an influenza pandemic killed additional tens of thousands."

The core question isn't about if the famine happened, but how bad it was and how intentional it was.
> Japan was invading Asia and Germany was invading Europe. Many of the things that exacerbated the Bengal famine were due to defensive measures designed to avoid even worse deaths if those invasions were successful.

You're talking as if England had not invaded and subjugated India. Gandhi was in prison during World War II due to noncooperatiom with the English invaders, and Nehru and the then big tent Congress party had the same policy. Bose actually went to Japan as he wanted the Japanese to come into India and drive out the English invaders.

What was the Dust Bowl famine in the US at the same time but policies of "agriculture for ideological reasons"?
>This article is misleading, they're not "zero days" when they were discovered 2 years ago.

No one. That's the point of using a market to tell you where it makes economic sense to build a house.
Not the person you’re replying to, but I think it’s reasonable to dislike a genre when one dislikes the things that define the genre.

I don’t like death metal because I find the vocal affectation silly and the range of instrumentation too narrow. I dislike country for exactly the same reasons.

There are genre-defying artists who transcend the category; Patsy Cline comes to mind.

But if someone’s going to sit down and write a song that conforms to all of a genre’s conventions, people who dislike those conventions probably won’t like it.

I've been involved with Software Development for over 20 years started with VB6 and some perl/python in 1998. I saw the "informal code of conduct" and it never worked. What really happened: many people were treating terribly and most of it was swept under the rug. CoC were created for valid and good reasons. I'm not defending the Rust community here, it seems childish to me. The past is not what you are trying to claim it was in this post. Look up the MANY Rails conference sexual harassment issues and worse.

We should not whitewash the past because the present isn't what we want.

> Yes, but what would be the alternative?

Not have a nation-wide ID scheme. The problem is that people will rely too much on it being always correct and a lot of infrastructure will grow on top of it so that it is really hard to fix things.

A better approach is to keep the human in the loop. If a government or a company wants to create a connection between databases, let the human whose data is requested, provide the external keys/IDs upon request. That's less automation, but it allows for more flexibility and better personal data protection.
Seems like a very low effort approach would be to create a few unobtrusive but visible ad spaces on your site, and make the ad banners say:

"## eyes see this space every day; rent this ad space. contact ..."

As for what to charge or how to structure the ad sale, do a little research or hire someone who knows that business (and give them a cut of ad revenue or some other attractive compensation).
I downloaded an iOS app targeting adults (Feeld).

The names of the “people” it suggests to me are frequently names of people who I know. Somehow, whatever is generating fake profiles is inferring my identity and showing me names of people I know.

Amazingly, it seems to have access to iOS communication because sometimes I’ll imessage with someone I haven’t communicated with in a long time (by any means), and soon enough their name pops up on the other app.

Do you have any insight on how it might work? I’ve wondered if there’s a very common app that many of my contacts would have installed that is able to peek at iMessage.
I love, love, love country music. I like most types of music, reggae hip hop/r&b, rock, just not death metal really.

I don't use an HMO, I have a regular doctor with regular doctor offices and hours and so on. That's an important part of it - somebody I know who knows me, asks about my activities, about my family, who's doing well, how are my brother's kids getting along and so on. A family GP.
It's a shame that people are so thin-skinned they can't handle a difference of opinion on architecture. All I can say is wow. I feel they really need to use this as a moment of reflection.

Well, Microsoft itself is using Rust now, in the Windows kernel no less. If they reverse that decision, then we have cause for concern. Otherwise, I'm sure this will all blow over.

Very usefull. Many people live outside the city centers (which are very small in Belgium) and use cars to commute.

Public transport is relatively good within a city, but if you come from outside the city it can get really bad. 20 min by car can be 1 hour by bus for example.
Taking Twitter out of a EU bureaucracy enforced censorship scheme, where they decide what's OK to publish and what's disinformation?

And that in today's political climate where e.g. in France if you swear against Macron you can be prosecuted [1] (or even arrested when at London [2]), or e.g. having a different opinion on covid measures labelled you an "anti-vaxxer that spreads disinformation" (when a little later the heads of EU where investigated for taking bribes from pharmaceutical companies) [3]?

I asked ChatGPT 3.5 to fix the code, modifying only the `print_len()` function. After some nudging, it came up with a very cheeky solution:

def print_len(x):
"""Print the length of x"""
original_print = __builtins__.print
original_len = __builtins__.len

__builtins__.print = original_len
__builtins__.len = original_print

print(len(x))

__builtins__.print = original_print
__builtins__.len = original_len

However, trying to run this function caused my Python to crash (as in, my interpreter crashed entirely), for reasons I don't understand.

One other funny thing is that ChatGPT lectured me about how swapping `print` and `len` is bad programming practice:

> Please note that modifying built-in function names like this is generally not recommended, as it can lead to confusion and unexpected behavior in your code. It's advisable to use different variable names to avoid such issues.

Quite right, ChatGPT.
I had it answer properly when using the regular "thought->observation" pattern.

Letting go is so important because it what lets you move on. Without letting go, I've seen people who anticipate the situation happening again every time the context is the same. They relive the stress/situation even though nothing bad is actually happening, and then resent their partner once more for it. It's a never-ending cycle of pain and anger. Please just make the decision to leave it!
> We have always been seen as weird, but for decades I could generally expect to be able to go to a doctor and have it covered by insurance.

This might be a good example, but I admit that the insurance situation in the US is so bizarre that I have no intuitions on this, re: insurance covering gender transition. Is insurance no longer covering it or something? If so, is this a legislated restriction?

It is true that states are banning this kind of care for minors, but consent around minors is pretty tricky, and some people like to ignore the nuances for simple soundbites.

It's not clear cut because it's a sort "new" topic, so it's hard to gauge where conservatives stood. For instance, abortion is a clear example of something that was "settled" in a sense and almost everyone had moved on, but the GOP blew it open again. Clear rightward shift of the Overton window.

I agree the pushback on books and school topics might count towards a rightward shift on the Overton window. Banning the teaching of evolution has always kind of been a hobby horse of the extreme right though, so not totally unheard of. It is more widespread, so kind of fits the mould of abortion.

> We didn't have a lot of explicit rights in the past but we also didn't have these kinds of massive targeting and demonization campaigns by elected officials.

Agreed, but we've also seen a rapid demographic shift over the past 10-15 years [1]. I think the massive leftward push on these issues over the past 10 years, coupled with an alarming lack of caution on these demographic shifts, has led to a corresponding rightward pushback because of numerous preventable failures.
