Not sure what your vet bills have to do with any of this, but...

It's true: pets are expensive, particularly pet health care, at least in part because (as with human medicine, but perhaps more absurdly) we've allowed professional organizations to strangle supply for vets, both explicitly by limiting the number of schools/class sizes, and implicitly, by putting onerous requirements on getting into those schools and/or getting certified. I was interested in a second career in veterinary medicine, but learned that there's exactly one veterinary college in the entirety of Western Canada, located in the (lovely, but) cold and remote prairie city of Saskatoon, which accepts a total of something like 80 students per year. Absurd.
C++ would be the obvious poster child.

It might be more instructive to list some exceptions:

- As described elsewhere in this thread, Julia is able to optimize Array<Option<X>> internally into a bitfield and a tightly-packed array of X

- Rust can use knowledge of a type's valid values to optimize Option<T> into something the same size of T for common T (pointers, arrays, etc, also notably I think user-defined enums which aren't exhaustive of their value space) - but as far as I know it cannot do what Julia does, you need to reach for e.g. https://docs.rs/vec-option/latest/vec_option/

- This is somewhat the raison d'etre for Jai, if it ever gets released.
Yeah... Rust was first intended to be a high-level language where one could create an entire browser engine without sacrificing a lot of performance.

The fact that it is a law-level language best fit for system programing came much later. Late enough that there are people here and there still trying to use it for the original use-cases.
Thats a bold claim to make so axiomatically. Disastrous in what regard? Why do you feel like you don't need to expand? What is this seemingly obviously utopian vision you have that the greatest civil engineering minds of the 20th century failed to comprehend? How precisely would you have handle the competing needs of the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors of arguably the largest developed country (by sq miles of developed land) in the world?
When you think about it, we're somewhat fortunate that (0, 0) is in the literal middle of nowhere. You can pretty much always safely say that a reading of (0, 0) is a error (unless you're working with the weather buoy that's located there, I guess). If there was a major metropolis there things could get a lot more confusing.

And delivery vehicles, emergency vehicles, etc. We certainly had roads before we had cars.
It's bad whether it happens in Eastern Europe or in the US. No one (who doesn't benefit from it) in the US thinks this is a good thing.

Meanwhile, this is a corruption thing, not a racist thing. Although corruption tends to invite racism, that's not the primary driver.
This seems to be like looking at a CPU die and commenting how inefficient it is to have so many on die transistors devoted to cache.

The truth is you need a place to put people (and data in the CPU world) while they are going about their lives and moving from place to place.

To move from place to place, it seems the average American prefers their car, since it generally runs on their timetable, and they do not have to share personal space with strangers.

And it is not just an American thing. If you look at developing countries like India and China, car ownership and usage is exploding as people grow wealthier.

Of course it is all way more complicated than “evil blood sucking admin” vs “noble scientist”.

1. Administrators have their own “owners”: namely federal and state funders, certification and evaluation authorities. All can make and break a research institution.

2. Many administrators are or have been researchers. They are not unaware of these core problems.

3. I agree that administrative bloat is very real. The typical excuse us “but look at all the new regulatory mandates.”

I live next door to a federal lab. They do not have a teaching mission but they appear to have even more byzantine administrative oversight than we do. In fact, our university research is nimble and light in comparison.

Oh that's easy- this was the compliance officer, and by showing that he raised concerns over this he may be able to claim that he did his job as best he could under the circumstances. I'd need to see the rest of the context, but this could very well be a "cover your ass" message.

Imagine if you're a security officer at a company and were just overridden on a decisions- you'd definitely want to shoot off an email describing the issue so that later on you aren't held responsible for it (of course depending on the severity quitting may also be desirable, but not everyone is in a position to immediately drop a job).

...the mods are part of the volunteer community, and their role largely already is more about keeping the bad apples out than establishing whether a particular response is good or not.

I still have no idea what you're talking about. Can you give an example?

Most "syntax" in AOT, statically typed languages does not directly generate machine code, but it does directly impact what machine code is generated. So there's not a clear distinction in practice.

For example, a lot of the syntax is used to control method selection and verification - that's not a "different" syntax or language by most folks' definitions.

> The problem for journalism and why it was replaced with "journalism" has always been that journalism costs money, you need customers to make money

That's part of it certainly, but it's also driven by the need for neverending growth. It's not enough to just be making enough to be solidly in the black, the networks are pressured to always being pulling record profits.

It's completely unrealistic, but that's the expectation regardless.
> Excel still doesn't have any way of doing unit tests or confirming that the content is valid and as it should.

I make this point when chatting with new team members that say "let's just use X," without really understanding how X works, and I use Excel as the analogy. Most people know how to use an equation field. Most people don't consider writing a spreadsheet programming, but it is.

And just like other types of programs, you can have really insidious bugs, and you need to consider how you'll address those, or address changes in the underlying or internal components of the system.

A famous one is that floating point math in excel can give you different answers for "is this the same as that" depending on how you write the equation, for example.

It's not like there are much laws regulating cryptocurrency markets in the US to begin with. That's the whole point why most crypto companies avoid the US: random enforcements != clarity

But I'm really curious to see whether a large country (e.g. China) or countries union (e.g. EU) is going to provide enough clarity and security as to move the innovation elsewhere from the US.
I just don’t want my children sexualized. I see media that is constantly pushing sexual themes as doing that. I find arguments from the side trying to force that as disingenuous.

I always wondered if it was possible for a company to just buy up a bunch of land and develop it however they wanted. If I recall, Google wanted to purchase land north of the 101 in Mountain View and put a giant bubble over the entire thing [1].

Not that I particularly trust Google to do a great job, but interesting thought experiment nonetheless.

Your first statement is strictly false, it is not difficult to find places to spend either of those currencies. (Thereby disproving your third statement)

Your second is a strawman, the "entire global economy" need not moved to crypto for it to be useful.

Is there any indication that eventually Bitcoin and Ethereum don't eventually get pulled into the "unlicensed security" category?
That's a useful bit of feedback. Indeed I would actually say that installation is quite simple as such things go. And maintenance is dead simple, it updates itself in the background.
This bugs me as well, since there still isn't a general enough official solution, even with C++20's bit_cast. Unofficially, the C way of type punning(pointer conversions and unions) still works in probably all C++ compilers, but it's UB, so potentially dangerous.

I think most use cases for type punning fall in 2 categories: conversions between types with same size in memory, for writing or reading as a new type(ex. read an f32 as an u32) or accessing only a part of the data, like the first or the last 2 bytes in a u32.

Ideally, there would be a way to specify that a union is used for type punning and what conversion types are allowed (using something similar to concepts or constraints). That would probably solve most use cases and also allow the compiler to easily detect it.

MOVEit hack: BBC, BA and Boots among cyber attack victims
That book really appealed to my 15 year old brain that thought I was some special snowflake. An elite that would hold up the world. It wasn't until later that I realized that the world wasn't being held up with a small core of intellectuals. It seems to be more of a swarm or a gestalt and it just kind of works.

Ayn Rand's ideas were simplistic and appeals to people who want to believe that they are better, smarter, and worthy of admiration. A lot of her stuff does make sense in a limited way. But there are other philosophies that are much more complete and aren't so narcissistic.

Train tracks don't have parking off to the side. Buses don't need that either. Neither do they need parking spots at every destination to be useful. They are both much more space efficient than cars especially when you consider most cars have one passenger a lot of the time.

Parking lots and on street parking is a tremendous waste of space (and they're ugly to boot) and forces EVERYTHING to be more spread out.

You forgot 'think about the children' part, but in this case, it actually goes against that fucked up corporations. We may have to see half of our kids infertile in a decade or two and shitload of birth defects that can bankrupt any health services (in case of US rather half of population), no amount of thinking about Kevlar or Goretex (for which there are tons of great alternatives too and I stopped using their stuff in mountains long time ago) is going to fix that

The easiest win I've come across is adding a CAPTCHA when requests exceed a certain threshold. Yes, CAPTCHAs suck, but this way 99.9% of users don't have to deal with one.
I can believe there would be a lot of competition between the different armed services and even private corporations in keeping this kind of information to themselves, to allow them to use the information for their own private gain. For example, the Air Force would want it kept to themselves for "their" future technology plans and wouldn't want the Navy to get it for "their" plans. And the same for individuals and corporations who might benefit from the study of such information, objects, etc.

So while it may seem nearly impossible to keep this information secret for decades, I believe it's possible, with enough threatening and potential for personal gain. For me, Snowden completely debunked "it's not possible to keep that big of a secret for so long".

This piece misses the realities of funding and labor for top-tier science.

Labor: Graduate students are inexpensive and doing the work for love. Without them, science becomes extremely expensive (and more effective, but not more-effective enough to, apparently, be worth the price of staff scientists).

Funding: Good luck getting the NSF to fund your proposal at actual market rate, especially if you don't intend to educate any graduate students.

There is a lot of societal value in basic science, but the returns happen on decadal and multi-decadal scales. Few non-governmental partners, other than philanthropic former scientists or science philanthropists (thank you, Keck and Simons Foundations!) have the vision and commitment to reap and sow scientific progress.

Science has always been free to leave the university, and it often does, but the lack of self-emergent long-term science institutions (Where's the private NIST, LHC, LIGO, or Webb?) suggests that it's a tough road to travel. When there's enough near-term promise, as in quantum-computing or genomic sequencing, industry can leap in and drive things forward.
This is one of the big reasons, I think. I hear about Usenet all the time, but whenever I try to go looking for it in the past to figure it out, it just makes no sense to me and I cannot figure out how to get to it.

"Half the country" is what Trump supporters claim the size of their membership is. It's propaganda based on a purposeful misrepresentation of the fact that about about half of the public who voted in 2016 voted for Trump. They like to use it when making veiled neo-revolutionary threats against "the left" or "city dwellers" or whatever group they feel doesn't show them enough respect at that moment, or to overstate the legitimacy and influence of their movement within the public at large.

At some point, "half the country" simply evolved within common parlance into shorthand for Trumpists and Republicans in general. An unfortunate side effect of this is that it's also useful among the left, who should know better, when used unironically to make Trumpism into a bigger monster than it is.

Of course, nowhere near half the country even voted at all, and of those who voted, a slightly bigger half voted for Hillary Clinton. But Trumpism demonstrates that minority movements can still have influence when they grab power, even if they can't really claim a mandate. That a significant fraction of Republicans either believe the election was stolen or believe claiming such is necessary to maintain power is still troubling.
France 24 and Al Jazeera manage to do well with continuous non-partisan news. Yes, I understand every news publisher has their editorial discretion. The problem with CNN, MSNBC, and Fox is that they are American news. There is only so much American news at the national level to report. France 24 supplements its news content with a tremendous amount of content from Africa and other sources internationally. Al Jazeera is more focused on the Middle East than France 24 but is otherwise a more bit balanced with its content as far as geographic source but is also extremely international.

In other words the way out of partisan stupidity is to increase the diversity of material published. There is plenty of news to report on.
