Scala has all of that and predates Rust by far.

But even Java is pretty much there: checked exceptions are available (and imo superior), but Optional is also an.. option. Kotlin/scala can handle nulls, but java can also statically analyse every usage with annotations.

switch expressions are exhaustive in java over enums and sealed ADTs. (Rust has a misnomer, their enums are ADTs, java has both real enums and ADTs now).
In short: moderators do not remove answers based on (their perception of) technical merit, non-moderators cannot remove answers as long as the score is non-negative, and GPT drivel sounds convincing enough to get upvotes from credulous newbies, so the answers have positive score.

No? Or maybe because my math education was good, I've always had it? Either way I'm not impressed - math isn't special, you don't need to put it on a pedestal.

This isn't really the case outside of far-flung suburbs and rural areas. Where I live, setbacks of more than 6 feet or so are rare, and front porches and stoops right off the heavily used sidewalks are the norm. We do "porch hangs" with our in-building neighbors, our kids and the kids in the neighboring buildings do sidewalk chalk together, we hang out at the local parks together, bring over friends from nearby neighborhoods, and talk with other parents and stuff.

Being a parent in a child-friendly neighborhood helps a ton with finding a community. Before we had a kid, we'd do things like welcome new neighbors with treats from our favorite bakery and our phone number if they needed anything, being generous with our time and things, etc.
I agree, being in the first round of layoffs is the best option if you play your cards right. You typically get the most generous severance terms, have more opportunities than someone who is the last to be laid off in a bad economy and often get a salary adjustment after your long vacation.

The worst is being the team that shuts the lights off behind them, you can expect high expectations paired with salary cuts and getting dumped into the labor pool at the bottom of the market. If things magically do go well those rewards flow to the investors.

So far I've only been in the 2nd group and it sucks.

It seems to be highly effective at not giving Putin anything big enough to latch upon as a genuine red-line escalation.

In this context, it isn’t. The comment you replied to was a response to the statement:

> I've implemented this for calls in a single-pass compiler and it is really simple. You just treat the yet-undeclared call as if it was used correctly and add it to a list of calls to check later.

I write my web apps in C++. They tend to be little bit more than just query database / update database. They're exposed as JSON based RPC and can be accessed by JS front end from browser or third party systems we interact with. The performance is stellar and the code size is not much different comparatively to using PHP / Ruby / Python / your_pet_goes_here.
Researcher here. I agree with your assessment of the way credit is given to authors, and there's a possibility of being scooped because folks are on strike.

I think you're forgetting that there's work-related conditions arising from not having a union that can cause you to get scooped. What about being scooped because you have terrible insurance that requires you to spend time away from a lab or because you have terrible pay and can't afford a decent day-care for your child? Or if, as a post-doc, you have a great idea but your professor is a harasser and a bully who faces little consequences for their actions? Remember, this isn't industry where you can walk over to a different job with better work conditions. Re-starting a project from scratch is months if not years.

And scooping is a physically survivable event. Poor insurance can some times literally not be a survivable event, and poor working conditions are a mental and physical health disaster.

De-dollarization is pushed by china. I think you're right, the dollar hegemony is in their interest, but every country does dumb as shit things (e.g. the US re-invaded Iraq)

De-dollarization for the Chinese is purely because of geopolitical and strategic reasons (rendering bank level SWIFT sanctions ineffective). Whether trade is done/settled in USD or yuan doesn't really affect them as they are an export economy with a peg to the USD. Switching to a currency swap system with specific countries doesn't mean the efficient market hypothesis stops holding. The underlying value of the swaps can still contain a USD peg.
A hydrogen powered car emits more than water. Atmospheric nitrogen oxides are produced due to the high heat.

The claim is made that the batteries only last 10 years. LFP batteries lose about 12 percent over that time period. The batteries will usefully last over 1 million miles. Following that they can be used for grid storage or recycled.

Hydrogen leaks through everything. It is very hard to contain. It makes steel brittle. You can stand next to a hydrogen flame and feel no heat. However, standing IN a hydrogen flame will quickly end you. A hydrogen flame is invisible. A 4% hydrogen concentration is explosive. There is a reason it is used as rocket fuel.

Hydrogen cars, like current gas cars, are only used for transportation. Electric cars can be used to power homes during blackouts.

The infrastructure to support hydrogen cars is essentially the same as current gas stations. If you use your car just to commute there is no need for infrastructure. The average commute is 20 miles. A simple 110 plug generates about 4 miles every hour so if you plug in at night you have a "full tank" every day.

Electric cars don't run when stopped in traffic or at lights. Hydrogen cars do. That's a huge waste of energy in a city environment.

Battery materials can be recycled (https://li-cycle.com/). The process is energy intensive but so is the process to separate hydrogen from water.
Well put. Rust wouldn’t be anywhere near this big/hyped if it would have been a new ML.
I always bought used books from previous students from the semester before me, and then sold them after I was done.

The cost in the end was pretty miniscule as the loss in value of a book across 1 semester was pretty tiny.
Didn't Friedman also acknowledge that more recent monetary influences (1980 onward) deviate from the data he used to draw his conclusions in Monetary History of the United States? In other words, the statistics he used wouldn't necessarily draw the same conclusions today?

In that context, his statement is fine as a historical study but may not be suitable to model current economics.

Los Alamos National Lab is a 12,700 person [1] government research facility in a town of 13,200 population [2]. Median household income $98k, highest millionaire concentration of any US city, highest percentage of people with doctorate degrees in the nation. Nearest IKEA store? 500 miles away.

A government lab can get scientists to relocate their families to the middle of nowhere. All it takes is a budget of $3.92 billion or $300k per job.

GBP is also not exactly a sane investment right now given that country’s economic slowdown and the recent Truss panic.
Sites like Twitter and Instagram also frequently completely change the search term now to something else for certain queries. This practice is anti-competitive in the highest order. The very foundation of having a text search is to have an exact query match to begin with... The alternate spelling item should only be a suggestion in results at the most, but they've flipped this now, and that's outright deceptive.

That's really what keeps me off smart homes in general, I don't want to fiddle with it. I do see some of the value, but mostly I don't see it as proving enough benefits to justify that added complexity. My dad likes to dabble with smart home devices, and some of it is really good, and some is just junk. For three months he could adjust heating, because a server in Norway was down, and apparently not monitored.

I recently bought a new house, and while a lot of modernization is required, I'll still be excluding all IoT and smart home devices/features, and I've given up on wireless for most things as well, there will be a plethora of ethernet jacks.
> What would an application do that is more secure than namespaces+cgroups?

Object capabilities, which is what Sandstorm/Cap’n Proto are based on, provides much more security than Mandatory Access Control systems while also providing a much simpler method for getting there.

Sadly the literature on OCAP is fairly poor, often being either too low level or too abstract.

The tl;dr is that OCAP systems work by assuming an application has no functionality whatsoever, and then must be passed (not sandboxed but passed) functionality, either at start time, or when the application requests it.

The easiest way to understand it is imagine if instead of being able to open a file on the filesystem by path, you had to specifically be passed the file descriptor by the OS, possibly before runtime.

Another way to think about it is thinking about the OAuth2 capabilities that you can grant an application. You authorize an application to have certain capabilities, and then the client is handed back a set of API tokens or addresses. Those are the only way it can exercise those capabilities.

It's not being sandboxed, it simply doesn't have any additional way to get access.
I've noticed this for a side project I run. https://cfbpedia.com/ I upgraded it's server a while back and unknowingly borked it's SSL redirect. I corrected it and Google hasn't picked it up again since despite my fiddling in every way in their Console, still just "not indexed". If you search for it directly in Google you will find links to it, but never the site itself. I figured I was doing something wrong and didn't care enough to fix it, but it definitely seems like Google is making some sort of attempt at pruning.
>Wouldn't most people be better off if they must buy a condo/house instead?

They would be better off if they _owned_ a house (as opposed to have to rent with nothing to show for after they stop paying, and the ever-present threat of not affording to make the rent and ending up homeless - someone with a home is much more resilient to such pressure).

Not if they _had to_ buy one...

If they're barely making ends meet, this would be a burden they couldn't afford or recover from.

It would also make moving (e.g. to study or work in another area) much more difficult. Of course this would also have benefits, like making people tie with and appreciate/help to improve their area more, as opposed to viewing it as a temporary residence. But this is more about encouraging people to find/have roots, than to forcing them to own a house.
So now anyone displaying slightly more intelligence than an eggplant while doing a search in Google is a "bot"?

This is the big problem with corporate personhood. If we ditch that concept, which seems nonsensical on its face to me, our individual free speech can remain better protected. Without corporate personhood those individual limits on campaign donations and lobbying might actually work.

As many others have said, it's far more stable now. I've been running it 5-6 years now, and experienced more than one broken update in that time. But in the last couple years or so, the only issue I've run into was an SD card that died. I was able to pull a recent backup off it, which was dead simple to restore. And that also taught me to run a nightly backup that goes to a network file share.

> Not sure I'd call it a conspiracy theory.

What I find funny about that framing is that, regardless of whether or not the theory has merit, a conspiracy theory by definition asserts that there exists two or more people conspiring with the intent to produce the alleged outcome. From what I understand, dead Internet theory alleges no such collusion or intent. I could be wrong but I believe that it merely suggests that the amount of bot-generated activity has come to dwarf human generated content to the point where the Internet is effectively "dead" from the perspective of its original purpose: humans sharing human knowledge.
They’re advocates of the realist school of political thought.
> People that are homeless and just need a place to live because they don't make much money are one story, and that does need an alternative but common approach to homeless that are committing crimes. They will all need housing at some point in that flow chart.

But at that point you’re talking about housing people who are leaving state custody. It’s not really a common approach because on the one side you’re talking about how you release people from prison or involuntary commitment and on the other side you’re talking about helping peaceable but impoverished people get housing.

> I disagree that a "minority" of homeless people commit crime. I live in SouthEast Portland and I watch these folks chop up bicycles, steal property and food, and do drugs openly in parks and on the side walk.

You wouldn’t see the ones who sleep on a buddy’s couch and mind their own business though.

Homeless activists like to cite a lot of statistics about how the majority of homeless people just can’t afford housing and aren’t mentally ill drug addicts. What they’re missing is that the actual social problem people care about is the crime and public disorder.

> I mention gangs because homeless folks with mental health issues and drug addiction commit similar crimes for similar reasons as gangs.

I’m not sure I agree with that. But it turns out that I think there’s a very similar solution to gangs as there is to homeless criminals though: lock them all up. That seems to be working in El Salvador.
Bingo. A refreshing case of capitalism working as intended: corporations seeking to further their interests is actually a good outcome in this case.
according to any Andy Gavin, the cofounder of Naughty Dog and a MIT AI lab alumni, crash 1, 2 and 3 were written on GOOL/GOAL[0] which was a home-brewed lisp. According to Franz themselves, the language was hosted on allegro common lisp[1]. the language gave him an ability to push ps1 platform to its limits by leveraging the kind of thinking that's part of lisp lore: incremental recompilation of a running ps1 instance using a remote little language written in and hosted on a Common Lisp dynamic environment. the previous sentence describes a poorly understood practice that of a dynamic environment leveraged development that was part of lisp machine and smalltalk machine and a handful of other now forgotten approaches. in a sense crash was not just "written in lisp", it was written leveraging lisp machine like thinking, that Gavin would've been familiar with from his MIT AI days.

when naughty dog got sold, all the remaining Gavin lisp systems were eventually stripped, so that the company for all intents and purposes became a standard c++ shop. some time later some hipsters wired plt scheme[2] as a scripting language for the Naughty Engine 2.0. unlike the original Gavin approach this is not some deep leveraged architectural decision, and it being lisp is pretty irrelevant to the sort of capabilities it provides. imho scripting language for a game engine selection is a lipstick on a pig kind of process, as demonstrated by various basic-like potato languages that came with legendary triple-As.

That's probably because you have your graphics settings set to use Unicode character space. Try lowering your setting to ASCII, or Latin-1 if you're in west Europe.
For those with embedded graphics it may even be necessary to drop non-alphanumeric chars.
This is a correct analysis, and I'm saddened to see it voted down.
I would definitely buy OrbStack if it become non free.

the only thing that i'm afraid of is this:

- i work in an enterprise company, and they don't want to pay for docker. as a software engineer i want to be able to buy OrbStack pro license with my own money and be able to use it both in company or my personal environment. is it possible? or your future licensing plan would prevent me to use it in professional environment and only allow me to use it in personal environment?
Those rules help reduce runtime surprises though, to be fair. It's not like they exist for not purpose. It directly represents the language designer making decisions to limit what is a valid representation in that language. Rule #1 of building robust systems is making invalid state unrepresentable, and that's exactly what a lot of languages aim to do.

This is an academic argument for a purist. The fact is that Apple checkmated them by allowing monetization of podcasts directly. Without being effectively countered, Spotify wouldn't just be 25% of the market, they'd be the YouTube of podcasting.

Yeah and also the simple literal fact that WhatsApp in fact ended up with tens of thousands of employees.

Those who find the last sentence counterintuitive should stop to note that if you use WhatsApp today you're interacting with a company with tens of thousands of employees.
I assume it is so that websites don't abuse it to build search boxes for their own sites without showing ads?

E.g. I can build a searchbox on mywebsite.com, and if you type "hamster" I'll just query google for "site:mywebsite.com hamster" and return the results to you. That way, my site can be static but still have a search box, and google has all the work but gets no money.
Perhas you're not sure what I mean by diversification?

If that's the case look into the original ideas from Markowitz.

If you really can't grasp the difference, consider the PIGS eurozone crisis as a Euro risk lower in USD (other than global correlation), and consider the recurrent US debt crisis (as lower in Eur other than global correlation). China weathered 2008 very well, and it was by learning from them that most of the world decided on furlough for the COVID recession.

Most economic analysis requires that you leave your prejudices at the front door.

It matters to you because we are coming to one of the harest periods for retirees in modern history. You need to know this stuff and it's a shame it's not taught in school any longer.
I started with a similar path a few years ago - IKEA smart home gear. The controller went away fairly quickly. I stayed for a long time on raspberry pi + Zigbee stick from DeConz + Apple home integration using homebridge.io.

Deconz felt a bit bloated/buggy, so I switched to using a cheap USB stick from aliexpress, and using zigbee2mqtt, which turned out to be a pretty good combination.

Unfortunately Apple decided (while I was on a business trip) that Apple TV 3 was no longer good enough as a home hub, so all of my soft switches stopped working...

As a result in a couple of days I wrote a quick MVP replacement in Rust, which has been working very nice for me, and the "user" (significant other) feedback was that it is now much more reliable and responsive.

Putting it here in case anyone finds it useful.

Claiming you could focus on the conversation with Usenet is putting on some rose tinted glasses.

By the late 90s Usenet was well into the Eternal September and inundated with spam. Unmoderated groups were a mess. There was also just the simple problem of formatting. IIRC Outlook Express defaulted to MIME/multipart posts which would cause all sorts of weirdness if someone with a text-only client quoted them and the OE user replied. Then of course there was the issue of top and bottom quoting. Many Usenet clients had truly awful UIs so a user could inadvertently quote a message's headers in a reply.

Compared to even a simple WWWBoard the experience was often lacking in terms of focus.
