I really dont understand why someone would pay for a general search engine. I would never. But obviously people find value in it and are willing to pay for it. So seems viable as long as you can get enough such people to cover costs of crawling and indexing.

You realise that all of modern software development is designed around the idea of programming as bricklaying rather than as a skilled craft… but it didn’t have to be that way.
The way I usually deal with this nonsense is to write a function in assembly that returns its pointer argument:

stop_messing_with_my_code:
mov rax, rdi
ret

extern "C" void *stop_messing_with_my_code(void *);

void *p = stop_messing_with_my_code(malloc(100));
// compiler cant know what my function does, it might have initialized it,
// aligned it properly, returned the correct, type, etc.

Also useful for getting around the idiotic type-based aliasing so you can write custom allocators (i.e a byte pool allocated statically/globally, then allocate data from that which is common in embedded, which is technically not possible in standard C or C++...)
Got excited about the function keys but unfortunately the Glove80 isn't a replacement for my Kinesis Advantage. I really dislike a battery powered keyboard, plugging in a cable into my laptop in the morning is something that never bothered me. However, having a failing keyboard/mouse in the middle of some work really annoys me.
Maybe I am wrong but aren't two movable parts a bit annoying as well? My keyboard gets moved on my desk quite a bit and repositioning two moving parts sounds quite tedious...

But I suspect the post you are relying to was specifically referring to set-top² DVD players attached to TV sets. They are indeed becoming less common as people stream/download content more than they buy/rent physical disks. I have such a DVD player though it currently does nothing as the "new"⁴ TV has no SCART socket and I've not got around to replacing the DVD player³ and may never do.

My favorite part of the article is where the author describes cosmic inflation as this quick fix for a "paradox from a previous big bang" that also introduced the multiverse - which is essentially unverifiable and then goes on to say something like "there's nothing inherently fishy about the standard model"

The standard model is holding everything back - clearly it's fundamentally flawed and that's been obvious for awhile, yet they keep trying to make it work.

I think fear rather than science is the main reason this is still a thing - they don't know how to think outside the model, abandoning it for the unknown is too scary.

Just let it go - see what's out there.

MS Marketing trying new tricks?
As a little exercise, I started looking into this. The claim that he grew up in a trailer park is repeated on his English Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafael_van_der_Vaart):

> He grew up on a trailer park, with him belonging to a Dutch cultural minority called the Woonwagenbewoners, with them sharing ties with Irish Travellers and the Yenish people, and often pretended to be Romário while playing football.

Yenish are only mentioned as "sharing ties" though.

There are two sources provided: one article in De Volkskrant, and one in The Mirror.
However, both links are dead now, but available in the Web Archive. The one in The Mirror only very vaguely supports the claim:

> 2) He enjoyed a Romany lifestyle as a child and used to pretend to be Brazilian ace Romario in kick-abouts on the caravan park.

https://web.archive.org/web/20100901205748/http://www.mirror...

The cited article in De Volkskrant, a credible Dutch newspaper, is quite fuzzy as well, essentially saying the van der Vaart grew up at the trailer park "until he and his family moved to Beverwijk".

http://web.archive.org/web/20131005045224/https://www.volksk...

Van der Vaart's Dutch Wikipedia page (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafael_van_der_Vaart) does not mention any of this.

There does not seem any support for van der Vaart's Yenish origin at all. I wonder about the origins and intentions of the claim...
There's nothing magical about the pooling of risk and reward being administered by an entity which is an insurance agent that makes the payoff matrix look different in this model. Yes, this includes the fact that sometimes the syndicate returns a little more to its members than was put in and sometimes a little less depending on who flipped which coin toss.

All of which is moot to my original point which was that the OP's original argument that the mainstream economics profession is focused purely on expected value with no concept of risk is laughably wrong.

They're in fact a few steps ahead of him, because they also assess pooling of earnings in terms of moral hazard and adverse selection, instead of naively assuming that expected return and downside risks are evenly distributed across the population and invariant with respect to wealth pooling. Adverse selection is the actual reason private insurers are unlikely to take on the burden of insuring things like unemployment (people that find it easy to find employment and have lots of savings will rationally avoid participating unless its compulsory, which means more people wanting to claim on it than pay in), but of course introducing variation in likelihood of payoffs to the model leads to potentially very different outcomes...
AI generated websites have ruined "when does X come out". It wouldn't be as big a problem if studios could just announce these things on their website, but instead you need to get this information from interviews and news articles which get overwhelmed by AI trash in most search engines.
yes, except thats why you use stuff like ECS systems

which involve fundamental data structures so writing them might involve unsafe rust code

but using them doesn't and they work as well in rust as outside

similar resource/allocation pools in combination with handles into them are a common practice to improve performance, and they work well in rust too (through like e.g. an ECS they often are unsafe to write but safe to use)

So while I would agree that "Arc the hell out" doesn't work for game engines (but IMHO does work for GUIs), I also would argue that if you use common patterns you anyway might have used anyway for better performance, complexity handling and/or reduction of the consequences of buggy code (e.g. prevent crashes) you don't have a problem with using rust.

Through I guess that makes writing "toy" games where you normally wouldn't bother with such patterns a much less nice experience to write in rust.

Yes, if you are developing .NET professionally there is no way around Visual Studio (Windows) or Rider.

Visual Studio is free for personal use and smaller companies (community edition), and Rider is not very expensive.

I actually think every developer should have a JetBrains all products license in their toolbox, their IDEs are very useful, support most programming languages and have one of the best SQL IDEs included. Also they are all quite similar, so you can switch to a new programming language without getting used to a new IDE.
Google is a search engine, not an AI.

Americans Are Fake and the Dutch Are Rude? (2022)
It seems to be viable enough for them to run a successful business with. So in that sense it's viable.

But I suspect it'll always be a niche product, since most people don't see search engines as something worth paying for, even if the product does offer some stuff they might find useful. It's like selling a web browser or code editor or source control system in 2023, sure you might potentially have a small audience of die hard techies that could make use of it, but the majority of people will stick to the free but worse quality one simply due to the price alone.

It made me wonder too, what the (practical) advantage over contracts is. If anything, Liquid Types seem less powerful. E.g., you can't use it to express a relation between two function parameters. It seems to be a macro for contracts (the type name implicitly copies its restriction as a contract clause), so in that sense it could be welcome as a practical way of improving correctness.
> Kind of like how simulating anything in detail tends to be a lot slower than the actual thing you're simulating?

From the article[1]:

Our approach avoids the limitations of direct experiments on molecular systems, where only few observables such as spectra and scattering cross sections can be measured. [...] A further advantage comes from the ratio (r) of the ion’s natural timescale (ms) and the measurement speed (ns), leading to an increase in the observable timing resolution of r ∼ 10^6. This improves the achievable resolution of chemical dynamics measurements relative to ultrafast observations.

So seems this would be more like running a computer simulation with a super-short timestep, allowing you to extract more details of a process. It's only related to the wall-clock in that they're using a physical analog system, rather than a computer.

> Not following if there was any breakthrough here or not.

Again from the paper:

Our approach to quantum simulation using an MQB trapped-ion system makes chemical dynamics that are otherwise unmeasurable directly accessible in the laboratory. This is a key demonstration of the utility of small-scale quantum computational devices to offer practical insights into chemical dynamics and resolve intractable problems in chemical physics.

Seems the measurement itself was a showcase for the techniques developed.

I agree refcounting is fine in state in a GUI, i.e. for using the GUI framework. But IMHO it's not fine for in state in many games.

It might also be less fine so for writing a GUI framework/library.

But it doesn't need to be IMHO as for writing the framework/library you can put your hand in the box of fancy data structures and use what's best suited even if it's implementation involves unsafe code as long as it's contained, well tested and fuzzed.
Yes absolutely. If your only argument is that Google won't show you hitmen for hire when you search for hitmen for hire, maybe you don't have an argument.

> There are a litany of benefits to Rust that include, but are not limited to

Other than Cargo, none of the advantages you mentioned are actually advantages, and are just basic features that are shared by multiple programming languages for decades.

If it's hard to justify Rust's use, why insist it's a decent tech stack for this sort of applications in spite of all of the evidence to the contrary?

Tbh, for that type of problem a smart Joe Schmoe wouldn't pick a tech stack like Rust in the first place, and instead just write a simple web app (because implementation details aside, the next problem is how to distribute the damn thing without "sideloading" or "potentially harmful download" warnings popping up all over the place).

> 'accelerated puberty'

> "at the turn of the 20th century, the average age for an American girl to get her period was 16 or 17. Today, that number has decreased to 12 or 13 years." -- Hector O. Chapa, MD, FACOG, clinical assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Texas A&M College of Medicine

As a government, I would be really worried about such a change in my population, especially if I didn't understand the exact cause. Previously the age of marriage was mostly based on this puberty age - if societal norms change and 12 year olds start having babies, that will be a huge impact on the economic outlook of the country.

You can do generic tests like testing for toxicity, but that won't give you the full picture.

However, having a failing keyboard/mouse in the middle of some work really annoys me.

Do you mean failing because the battery is empty? Why not hook it up then and power it through USB? There are handy split cables with which you can hook up both halves in one go. Some people even disconnect the batteries.

Maybe I am wrong but aren't two movable parts a bit annoying as well? My keyboard gets moved on my desk quite a bit and repositioning two moving parts sounds quite tedious...

Hasn't been an issue for me. But you could always fix the distance in some way (3D printed tool, measure the distance and cut out some plastic/papes, etc.). Personally I just put my arms how I find them comfortable and then position the halves to align with that. Takes maybe five seconds.

Compared to the Advantage2, I use a slightly wider separation distance, so it's more comfortable (though the KA2 distance was still ok-ish for me).
