Yes wanted to comment that as well.
I don't know C#, so maybe it has these, but it's unlikely:

- absence of null pointers

- proper sum types which can be statically checked for exhaustiveness

- statically controlled mutability (yes, borrow-checking is still useful if you have a GC!)

Also no exceptions, but that's not a type system feature.

I use Chrome at work and Firefox on personal devices (including my Android phone).

As a heavy user of both browsers, as far as I can see there is really no downside to Firefox.

In fact, even though presumably there are way more engineers working on Chrome than on Firefox, I guess most of Chrome's engineering effort goes towards benefitting advertisers, not users. While Chrome seems entirely stagnant since I adopted it 4 years ago, Firefox gets a steady trickle of improvements and fixes.

So a huge +1 to the last point. Firefox rules.

This is straightforward protection for Air France and the other big airlines. Cheap flights are used to make sure that seats are filled. Minimum pricing will mean more planes will fly with empty seats and therefore less efficiently. There will be fewer flights, but the ones that remain will be more expensive and more polluting on a per-seat basis. The wealthy will continue to pay and enjoy less crowded planes. Bonus!

Yet another case of the environmental Baptists providing cover for the polluting bootleggers.

While it's interesting in its own right, I think it's better looked at as part of the wider pattern of Operation Condor:

One of the more likely black swan events that has the potential to cause global upheaval. Quite a bit of data now from other solar systems in terms of likelihood of these events. So far it looks like it is slightly more likely to occur in the ramp up stage of a cycle, not at the very peak.

We would most likely see a very large sunspot(s) days before the event and have 10-15 hours to take action, decoupling transformers etc, but the effects would be massive nonetheless.

Perhaps a different view on 'hope' . Think most people would assume 'hope' is good.

This makes compelling argument that 'hope' is its own roadblock.

It is a sidetrack, a way to keep people in their place, because they are continually just 'hoping' instead of 'doing'.
The fact they've managed to bring safety to the masses without a GC is arguably the #1 reason for Rust's success. This has been a good move.

For me the target is “GNU/Linux is viable and practical for the average user”, not “GNU/Linux has 30% market share”. I haven’t tried System 76 so I don’t know much about GNU/Linux outside the Framework line, but upgradeable graphics in the upcoming 16 inch models means you could dual-boot with Windows for AAA gaming and maybe a handful of Windows-specific apps, and GNU/Linux for machine learning and just about everything else.

I don't agree. Before Rust 1.0 the community was really, really tiny. I don't have numbers but it was really a few people discussing the design issues... it was not like now where you literally have thousands of people with different incentives trying to force their views on things, which makes development go much slower than in the pre-1.0 days.

I think the lesson is that, as with any software, having an open discussion between people who are on the same page about things and have similar incentives (with room for disagreements, as the initial author of Rust had plenty of) is greatly beneficial, without a doubt... but once you start getting people with polar opposite views on things, each backed by a substantial faction behind them, things start getting messy. I'm not saying this has happened in Rust, just that it's not a case the more people, the merrier.

I tend to favor the all-different-in-most-ways cards as well. When there's a streak of 1, 2, and 3 all-red, all-filled, all-ovals (and other similar "obvious" sets), my family crushes me.
I (also like sibling comments) respectfully disagree.

Rust is aimed and focused as a safe C or a sane C++ substitute, and is meant to intermingle with both. It is not an application "high" level language. You can use it as such, which is great. For anything you would use C or C++ you can use Rust instead. As a cryptographer I find that great.

Regardless of all the lack of latency or other control -- beyond fine tuning -- a garbage collected language makes critical memory choices we want to make instead. There are times we want to swap or use our own memory allocator, never mind having to add a garbage collector in the mix. (There is a good number of languages that scratch that itch, and you can likely link and use your C/Rust code with them.)

As far as async: also respectfully disagree. Async is sugar for here is a Future<..>. If you want to poll it locally you can. You can scope it also. If you want to use a cross thread work stealing algorithm you can. But you need like memory management to consciously make these design decisions. This is similarly why a lot of things are not built in in C.

This means that your browser starts spying on you, whereas currently, ‘only’ sites do.

If you use Chrome, it will use information about all pages you visit, even ones without tracking cookies to categorize you for advertisers.

Google says that will happen locally, but even if you trust them, I don’t think that makes much of a difference. You could even see it as “now I pay the bill for getting myself categorized for Google’s ad business”.

Soon, Chrome also will start blocking third-party cookies to protect you from evil Meta and its ilk (all because Google wants to protect you from them, not because Meta competes with Google in the advertising space, of course)

So, as before, Google won’t be able to see what users do inside Meta’s apps (Facebook, WhatsApp, etc.), but now Meta won’t be able to see what Chrome users do outside them.

> but naively I'd rather have my machine present this kind of data

It won’t all stay on your machine; a summary of it will be sent to Google so that they can sell targeted ads to advertisers.

I expect they’ll have quite a few different tags, including age, gender, and location, and shopping preferences.

Precisely. It totally undermines their engineering efforts. There are people I know who use Edge willingly, and their anecdotal claims are that it has reduced resource usage over Chrome (somehow, which is weird since it's using the same engine). It was also used by a few in the Geoguessr community for a while since it didn't hit some annoying Google Street View bug that Chrome did.

Isn't Rust's type system mostly about not having GC? What specific type system features are you looking for outside of borrow checking? Macros?

Probably the closest would be Kotlin. It has the huge JVM ecosystem, it uses GC, programs run fast, they can be compiled to native binaries using at least two different native compilers (kotlin/native and graalvm). The type system is fairly expressive, albeit not quite as much as TypeScript. It makes up for it with just being a much cleaner and more logical language in general, as it didn't inherit much historical baggage.

There's also a compiler plugin API which is maybe the closest equivalent of macros. It's not really documented or stable in Kotlin 1.x, they're fixing that for Kotlin 2, but there are already a bunch of useful plugins that add various features via compile-time generation and reflection.

Rust's main use case was to replace C++ components in firefox. This wouldn't have been possible with a language that brings along its own GC, as Firefox already has a JS GC. Multiple garbage collectors in the same process are a quick way to madness, especially if you have reference cycles stretching across multiple GC heaps.
This also comes up when writing Python extension modules, base libraries that are meant to be usable across languages, etc...

This is part of why Rust is so successful -- it's the first real alternative for this space since C++ came along.
For most application development, it's better to use a garbage collected language. But in the application space there is a much bigger choice of languages already available, Rust wouldn't have been a big deal over there.

8 minute fueling to 900 kWh would be the equivalent of charging a BEV truck with 900 kWh battery at a staggering rate of 6.75 MW.

I know, BEV semis would be charged slower over night while the driver sleeps/rests. Still, seems to me this ammonia FCEV tech scales so much better that it will make it very hard for BEV semis to compete.

Even more so, because increasing the ammonia tank size is laughably trivial compared to trying to scale battery size for a BEV.

Lifetimes complicated. Having a proof of them at compile time is difficult. You can't prove everything for starters. A lot of patterns are just a no-go. Why not defer that to the runtime, and just observe which variables stick around (that's GC)

IO complicated. The cycle of doing code then waiting for IO is wasteful (sequentially you waste millions of CPU cycles waiting for the network to answer back). To max out usage of your hardware resources you could just aggregate IO requests with your compiler. Switching back and forth between code that uses IO, as IO request come back (that's async)

Problem is: switching back and forth between code that uses IO is recklessly hard wrt coming up with a proof of the lifetimes of the variables.

And a language/runtime _needs_ to have the trifecta of compiler/GC-or-memory-management/memory-model coherent and within the runtime.

compiler/GC-or-memory-management: the GC-or-memory-management needs to know who writes, who owns, who reads

GC-or-memory-management/memory-model: you need to know when and how you can read your writes, what are the rules

memory-model/compiler: you'll be managing memory barriers so that you can cram together sequences of writes that are compatible, for maximal performance

This trifecta dependence is foundation to a language/runtime, and a change to one affects the others quite deeply. Changing the compiler (bringing async here) affects the other ends and you can't do that when GC-or-memory-management is all over the place (as a lib, or god forbid in user hands)

I'm afraid async is just something unaffordable for a language that wants to be that close to the metal. And even then, async is just a bandaid for a costly threading IO model.

----

Come over to the dark side of Erlang, Go, and Java. We have small threads now. You can just block like there is no tomorrow, and the runtime will have a cheap back and forth. You can just forget about the lifetimes, as the GC will sweep after you (and concurrently, outside of the critical allocation path). Forget it all my friend. Java is love, Java is life.
Not to mention that world population went up by 60% in that period, so it would have been very strange if cancer diagnoses had stayed at the same number.
> Not trying to be cheeky, but why not c#?

C# is my main language. I consider it a very good all-round language.

Rust's type system has some advantages over C# tho, for example Sum Type, Option (C# has ? but it was added later so you need to be careful when interacting with old code, kinda like TypeScript <-> JavaScript to a lesser extent), exhaustive enum, etc.

Another thing I don't like about C# is the runtime startup time which prevents me from using it for command line tools (Yes I prefer static typed languages even for "scripting"). I think Go has proven that you can have both GC and extremely fast startup time.

Just a note on the hot water supply: Whether this happens depends on three factors:

- Does the dish washer support it? Not all do in the EU.

- Did the plumber install a warm outlet when they set up the connection for the dish washer?

- Does it even make sense from a holistic perspective?

The latter depends on the specific circumstances. For instance, I live in a country with district heating, and here it makes sense, because then I can use cheap heat. My dish washer supports it. But there's no warm outlet installed by the plumber, and currently the heat is mostly from coal, whereas the electricity is mostly renewable, so for the time being I just let it be.

I respect and appreciate your position. I believe we both have high expectations of prosecutors and law enforcement.

At the risk of presuming too much, your position wrt QI and other reforms might be summarized as "We already have sufficient rules. The rules must be followed. The proposed reforms would eliminate an important safe guards as well as not achieve the desired outcome."
The US used to have a fixed prices for flights, set by the Civil Aeronautics Board. There ended up being a lot of gimmickry with how airlines competed with each other - for example, airlines would do stuff like fly more flights than they needed to, so they could point to all the empty seats and ask the CAB to raise prices for their route to offset the money they were losing.

But maybe this time price controls will be different.
That was my gut reaction too, minus the overconfident snark. Later the article claims that cancer deaths are also up 28% so it seems unlikely that this is the full story.

How about thinking the other way around:

Most of what breaks is just tracking for ad serving purposes. I'm fine with that breaking.

Some people are just better at it, have better circumstances, work ethic, are more lucky or something like that. I stream on Twitch occasionally, as does one of my friends. Their channel has grown to being 3x the size of mine in months, whereas I've been occasionally streaming for over a year. Their earnings from that are also a multiple of mine.

Neither of us really have large communities, but some people will have 10 or 100 better growth than either of us, which is probably applicable to most types of content generation or platforms out there.
