It's ignored because it's the Achilles heel of all anti-car arguments. Even places with famed public transit don't actually provide the level of freedom and convenience rabid anti car people suggest outside of specific circumstances like rush hour and exclusive downtown usage. This is fine actually, public transit is awesome and we should build more of it, make it more reliable, etc because it benefits a lot of people but it's not a society level car replacer.
After reading many comments here the one that appeals to me is the readability of go code. There was this moment of ruby vs python where I was delighted by the readability of python code and how I could easily read the code of python libs as well. I feel this is the same with go. I can imagine the rust wizards easily making hard to read code.

The prevalence of a given language in job ads seems to be a good signal, at least for job seekers.

I don't have hard numbers, but my impression from HN Who's Hiring posts is that Rust is gaining popularity and C++ is receding.
That’s the balance swinging the other way. Since React came into the scene SEO and accessibility have been afterthoughts, but that didn’t stop millions of static* websites being built with it.

Once I grasped it I found it easier to write than C++. It doesn’t actually take away power, just the power to blow your feet off. Besides you can access C-like freedom with the unsafe keyword while making it easy to search for that keyword and audit any unsafe code.
But contributing to the Linux kernel in C++ is gonna get you laughed out of the room. For that, you famously must go back to C — and for good reason!
That's all good in theory and all, but we all know that the #1 step of most humans is to type a search into Google, and that Humans refuse to look at anything outside the top page of hits (maybe the first ~5 entries).

The name of the game, if you're trying to serve humans, is to get to the top ~5 entries on Google.
Vocal minority might be one of them. But I think that is not the only reason. I think it also because a lot of very useful and performant tools are being written in it. Also, the fact that so many programs are being created likely suggests to newcomers (like me) is that it is not unreasonably difficult to write code in it.

Yes, to (grossly) summarize the conclusion of the paper: minres can outperform CG on the backwards error ||r_k|| / ||x_k|| whereas CG can outperform minres on the absolute error ||x^* - x_k|| and the energy norm ||x^* - x_k||_A.
P.S. regev had its own unit tests that used ycombinator to generate event streams dynamically specified in the test - just thought I should mention that on this forum :)

I have only used ycombinator one other time: for parsing text using grammars defined at runtime. I think that is the main use case for yc. It's in a personal side project, but will be open sourced real soon now.
Interesting. Do you believe, your applaudable position, should be enforced on anyone doing anything, or just anyone creating 'art'? Seems odd to weaken a musicians chances of making a living (not majors, individuals - copyright laws are odious). The position implies a 'living' will not be permitted by means of creativity. Is that the intention?

The computation bringing to that result being? And is the aggregate relevant in this case?

You are mentally living in your own "naturalistic" perspective and assumptions, which remain largely personal. Political. Subjective.

Similarly, your own visualizations seem to be selective: who is that 'our' in your vision of «replacing our human connections with AI»? An aggregate? It suggests a literary vision (like in Science Fiction), not an analysis.

You seem to state that «technology» made «the world ... incomprehensible». Now technology enabled informational availability, which is an enabler. Comprehension is not hindered by technology at the individual level - which is that which counts operationally.

You seem to be a pessimist as you look at the impact over aggregates, but you forget the root in the ignorance in the detrimental elements in said aggregates.

>The Err and Ok could seem weird, traits could really be confusing.

C++ allows similar error handling with std::optional (Some()/None in Rust) or std::variant (Err()/Ok() in Rust). C++ also has something similar to traits (with really unreadable syntax).

C++ just has a worse syntax for Error handling, since variants aren't enums. If you are using C++ I suggest you still make use of these concepts.

I wish there was a way we could automatically garnish any gratuities a debtor makes and put them toward a debt instead of the original business. With credit cards it should be more possible to do this.

Norms like being honest and not stealing? society gets really expensive and unfriendly when we have to use enforcement instead of norms.

No. It wouldn’t be vulnerable to that.

You would at most be able to deanonymize a certain percentage within the impostor network itself. Kind of pointless.

Physical access of devices is the only way to have some chance of deanonymizing some of the users (always less than number of devices you have access to).

That’s my understanding, but the maker of this thing is here, and maybe can respond better?
Some LCD panels can develop image retention however, which while not being the same as burn-in is a similar effect.

The revisions of the IPS panels used in 27” iMacs from 2009 through 2016 or 2017 for example had a tendency to start exhibiting retention after a few years, I think probably due to the extra heat coming from the computer components behind the panel.

I’ve read some reports of VA panels developing retention too.

Hmmm...

One would expect that the cases that actually get to the point of lawyers and courts are atypical. It seems likely that the ones who can't document the debt would probably drop the matter when first challenged, long before that stage.

Is that not the case?
In both California and New York I had to prove I had good credit to rent a half decent apartment. And I don’t blame the landlords, plenty of people sign leases and never pay. I think lots of people take advantage of a system that is designed to have protections for those who hit hard times.
Meanwhile game engines, embedded, spaceflight, aerospace, automotive, financial infrastructure and high frequency trading, medical software, scientific computing etc. continue to be dominated by c/c++ with strong opposition to rust. Almost all of the companies you’ve listed have more c++ than rust, and significantly more new c++ code added to their public repositories every day than rust. google is an especially hilarious example to use in favour of rust when they’re developing an entirely new language to replace c++ themselves rather than use rust.

This makes no sense, that is not an advantage over a dockerfile.
I usually put my code into a volume and use bindfs to read/write that volume from the host as a regular user (with vscode, vim, whatever). It prevents ownership conflicts since files in the volumes are owned by root/www-data/whoever. VScode can be configured with a mapping between running code in the container and accessible code in the host so xdebug breakpoints are set on the host in vscode and when xdebug calls back vscode it gets xdebug data and displays it on the host.

Would codespace solve that more elegantly ?
No, not like everything you read at all.

So if you base your argument on that I would say aggregate consumer doesn't care that much about apple either.

I was arguing on moral grounds, it's immoral to create so much waste and I hope Apple gets forced by EU to change direction as their target customers won't care.

Consumers also didn't care about standardization, yet usb-c now is uniquous and it's great... so perhaps what they care and what's better for all of us aren't the same

1. Identify a target audience

2. Identify what that audience wants (by asking them)

3. Build what the target audience asked for if you agree that it is a sensible thing to create.

4. Tell the target audience that you have built your thing.

Note that "target audience" here is probably not Google, but on all 4 points, SEO replaces "target audience" with "Google". Pruning old information is not something that any group of humans have requested besides Google.
They rely on people not knowing their rights or not having the time/ability to fight them.

It's not just a corporate thing, but a problem in the US as a whole that the government banks on. When people are overworked, underpaid, and uneducated then they don't have the time/ability to keep up with politics, fight for their rights, and see how they've been getting fucked by local, state, and federal government for decades.
Once the debt has been sold off, it's very likely that your credit score has already been impacted.

On the ethics front: let's say I owe money to a credit card company. They sell it off to EZ-Sleez, the debt collection company. What do I owe to them? I certainly didn't borrow money from them. We have no particular relationship. They have one with the credit card company, but that's none of my business, from an ethics standpoint. The idea of selling debt itself feels very unethical to me, and I'd like to see that justified before we talk about what we may or may not owe people.
The real issue is reputation risk.

Banks do not want to be in the news because they put someone on the street because of $100 or $500 or $1000 - the reputation cost is just too high.

Further, most banks will not sell debt under a certain amount., they plan for the losses, adjust for it in lending rates and just write off the debt as a loss.

You will see this in their annual statements as provision for credit loss (the planned losses) and net credit losses (actual losses). The amount for large banks is in the hundreds of millions and it is taken as part of the cost of being in the lending business.

There is, of course, some every fluctuating number based on the type of lending and amount, at which debt is pursued with vigor.
A look inside the Black Hat network operations center
It's only harder in the sense that it's picky about what will compile. In c++ a lot of things will compile that really shouldn't, but that cost doesn't get counted in the "hard to write" reckoning. Somehow people don't add in the "oh crap it segfaulted, and I have no idea why" risk. IMO it's far better to have something that won't compile giving you a headache than something that compiles and costs you an unknown amount of time later.

I still haven't had my rust code segfault. To get to the same place with c++ I had to run a whole load of tools that aren't the compiler, but that are also more obscure and not normally mentioned in the coding tutorials.
Somebody else’s neologism + 8 bits of entropy to brand it. It is my RSS reader and intelligent agent.
Because sometime in the mid-00s (last I checked, I wasn't paying much attention before then) anti-americanism became extremely popular among US liberals (where a sizable portion of HN culture comes from). Usually portraying Americans as fat, stupid, violent, extremely religious, etc. It's come and gone in the years since, right now it's not a huge influence on public culture probably at least partially because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but obviously it still has a lot of pull with people who strongly disagree with the prevailing US approach to transit.

I wouldn't call it bad faith, that's more when someone is evading the actual point.

Wife and I tried to start a business a couple years ago; ran onto circumstances that made it difficult, went bankrupt. We talked to all our credit card issuers about our troubles beforehand, trying to get some better option than "just stop paying"; they were not interested.

Discover actually laughed at my wife when she asked about it: "you're not even delinquent yet!" We were going to be the next day, and would've liked to negotiate before that point. They have no systems for that nor (apparently) any ability to recognize it.

Their comfort zone is this system of debt collections.

| Couldn't one start locally with closing downtown to cars?

This happens often in many towns in the US, but its not permanent. And people never seem to make the connection that the "great time" they had walking the streets was due to no cars. The business owners do not want the car ban to be permanent, as they think cars are the only way to get regular traffic.
Facts are facts though, corporations frenzy on cheap loans...and they did/are. Stock buyback trends in aggregate make me nervous. Perhaps we should only allow fixed or capped interest rates but that would limit borrowing to fiat sources and probably exacerbate the issue.

This, in a functional legal system, should have them immediately arrested and/or slapped with a fine.
The curve starts to go up right around five years before retirement age.

If I knew that I wouldn’t go to work ever again in five years and I’d probably be pretty happy too.

I bet it’s nice to not have to think about the long term career implications of coasting at work. I think I could get away with quiet quitting for 5 years.
> Furthermore, HSR also requires some level of last mile connectivity by local mass public transit. There is none of that in places like Texas, and again the public imagination has not moved on from some kind of 1950s car culture utopia, thats about "freedom".

Yet somehow millions of people a year manage to fly to Texas without then becoming stranded at the airport due to not having been able to bring their car. This proves that either you don't need to connect the end points of long distance transportation systems to local mass transit, or Texas in fact does know how and has done so for airports. If the latter, then why could they not do the same for HSR?

At least two reasons I'm not choosing Go:

- Go (the language) is missing the ability to declare something immutable. I don't mean making fields in a struct private then exposing getters. I mean the equivalent of an immutable reference in Rust or `const ref` in C++.

- Go mod and go workspace still can't get a cohesive story together [1]:
- - If my module wants to depend on another module in a workspace, `go mod tidy` would freak out.
- - If I use replace in my go mod file to point to the other modules in the same workspace, `go mod vendor` will copy these workspace modules to the vendor folder as well.

Lower-end consumer laptops (think: Acer, Asus, ...) tend to fall apart after a year, this is what I was starting out with in university being rather poor.

Also I owe my career, salary and life situation basically to open source (so I donate regularly) and ... apple computers that work flawlessly in many situations other laptops would be dead already or require me to tinker with stuff instead of doing billable things.
One point rarely mentioned in regards to Cargo Cultism, is that the fundamental error of the cargo cultists wasn't that they didn't understand what made the planes land. The fundamental error was that they kept doing it, even though it wasn't working. We don't know how a lot of our most effective pharmaceuticals work, but we at least know to stop using them if (in a rigorous test) they don't work (although people with $$ in their eyes sometimes try to get us to do it anyway).

Now, the magnitude of the error would depend on how long the cargo cultists kept doing this, even though the planes didn't return, and I have never heard how long that was. If they tried this for a month or two, it's not that bad an error, really; it was worth a try, based on what they knew. If they did this for decades, that would be a serious error.
