Needing a helper library for something as simple as async so you don't go mental is really not good enough. I see the same thing with error handling - every Rust project I see imports a helper because it's too clunky otherwise.
I use Pointedly on iOS, but this is neat as well. Not all games work well with a generic scoring app, and I’ll keep this in mind for our next session.

i'm a renter and i vote like hell. so do my friends, who are also renters.

a homeowner can sell their house if they don't like something. it's more of a PITA but this is simply a false statement: "And they can (and do) up and leave when something changes/they don’t like it there anymore, which is something the owners can’t do. "

not to mention, as a renter in a tight renter market, it's very hard to up and leave and find some place in a similar budget.
In these debates I find myself very confused. I feel very comfortable with async ergonomics in Rust. It seems like the argument against it is that it has poor ergonomic... but how? It's rather straightforward to go from sync to async and async to sync you just have to code the strategy in. If you're in sync and need to run async, you need to run it in some executor (either in threads or in single-thread concurrency or something else). I've been writing async code in Python for years I'm truly missing what's so bad -- or even different -- about Rust async. What am I missing? I'll continue to write async code because it's pretty nice.

EDIT: People talk about swapping executors etc but it seems like 99.999% of the programming applications you don't need anything like this, nor does something like Python supports this anyway and we're all fine with it.

I would not think it would be that good. Having multiple runtimes is great for specific use cases. I would also fear that having "one standard endorsed runtime" would lead to either the death of the alternative ones, or to the freeze of it once it's in the stdlib and fall to oblivion (like many packages in the python standard library).

What the stdlib actually needs is the proper set of traits/facades/whatever to interact with the current runtime. Just like they did with the Future trait. And add the handful of traits that go with them that tokio, futures, smol, etc have: AsyncRead, AsyncWrite, Stream, Sink, et al
"Part-time clown" even makes for a better headline IMO
> both of these approaches from a DX perspective are easier to work with, and that matters in language design.

While you are right that DX matters, DX is not the only thing that exists. Design is about balancing constraints and tradeoffs. Rust has other design commitments that preclude using this design, before you even get to DX questions.

(Furthermore not everyone agrees that these things are clearly better from a DX perspective, as DX is a subjective topic.)
Then they'll just add a new #[from future import Move] syntax.
> I didn't say we need goroutines or we need Loom style asynchronous primitives I am however pointing out, that they did a really good job of making async approachable and feel like you're writing the same code as you would in a traditional synchronous model.

You created a dichotomy - languages with a native construct for async versus languages that provide this as libraries. But that dichotomy does not exist - both language have native concurrency support through their runtime. That was what I was pushing back against.

> async is de facto used a 3rd party lib, and it really should be a first party primitive that everyone feels comfortable using.

I think this really remains to be seen. Rust has always had a "just pull in a crate" mentality and a "be very conservative about what's in std" approach, and I think the community is overwhelmingly in favor of that. Any major stdlib changes should be taken pretty seriously.
doesn't block_on work for you?
I actually said:

Except that those transactions don't count until they get on the main chain

While you quoted me as:

> those transactions don't count

You lost some of my message. Maybe your are reading it through a lightning node and it went offline half way through.

There is no such "single penny" limit.

No one said that, but lightning's examples are always these nonsense situations of paying a single party a thousand times.

What problems?

A transaction rate that could fit over the bandwidth of a 28.8 modem.

If you have to misquote people to make your point, maybe you're on the wrong side of the argument.
homeowners (some of whom are corporations, or use their home as a rental business and not a domicile) vs (renters and homeless). Even if homeless people don't directly get to move into new housing, it still benefits them. I think if the homeless were mobilized to vote, they could work with renters and become the majority.

> Its design flaw is the ORV system requiring someone who just wants the elevator pitch and their life to be wildly more efficient via using digital currency that's faster, safer, cheaper than their debit card having to educate themselves on what-even-is an ORV, how does the voting work, how do you know what a good representative is, and so on.

It doesn't though. It requires installing a wallet app.

> And so its largest general population adoption, friction creating flaw is that people do not want to be their own bank

Maybe you didn't see that story here yesterday about banks simply closing people's accounts for no reason. Maybe you missed Mastercard and Visa blocking Wikileaks and OnlyFans payments. Maybe you missed the bank bailouts, and the housing crisis, and the Epstein funding, and the Panama papers, etc.

If you've ever seen a bank run, you know that there are times when people absolutely do want to be their own bank.

> my bias would definitely be "if it was worth pursuing, one of the big ones' communities would pursue it as it means more value and a better product"

That's not how a status quo works. When you talk about digital cash, you're stepping on some very sensitive and powerful toes, conspiracy or no.

> I can also see very little incentive for any entity to lose their centralized power to accomodate a tech that directly usurps it over time.

Well now you've hit the nail on the head. Fortunately, accommodation might not be a requirement to success.

> You only have to make that leap if you suppose that machine learning algorithms actually learn and then become capable of creating their own original works, rather than producing mechanical transformations of their inputs.

Why do you think humans can do that, and that what we call “original works” of humans are not just mechanical transformations of the human’s inputs.

How, in a universe of deterministic physical laws, is it possible for a human to do anything else?

I'm not convinced that splitting up any of these wireless companies will better the end consumer. Spectrum is already in short supply, splitting up the already finite resource even more will lead to less bandwidth overall. There also is the capital cost of erecting more towers, more antennas for each of these companies.

It's not as simple as "lets split them up and it will all get better".

We experimented with both tokio and async-std and picked tokio on the merits. This was ~2 years ago, so things may have changed a bit, but tokio provided a lot more out-of-the-box, and we also wanted a multi-threaded executor so its defaults worked well for us.

Young people also aren't rich, and live amongst the awful rent seeking economy built by those who came before. So it's not hypocritical to want to buy cheap, it's an unfortunate necessity. Also, the whole point of the push to make sustainability a mainstream concern is so that 'all those awful young people' can afford to buy sustainably produced products. Right now, unsustainable enterprises get to externalize the environmental costs on everyone else, and thus make sustainable & quality goods extremely pricey. It's a tax on morality - so let's eliminate that first and then point fingers about hypocrisy.
As for now, we only need equality operator, so we use deterministic encryption for deks and handle keks in vaults. Kek rotation is kind of a pain, so we index edeks in order to improve our queries, which basically build dynamic UNION ALL or IN statements.

I guess you could call it “Security by insanity.”

Author here. When I started hearing about Generative AI, I was really excited about the potential for "always on" agents eagerly assisting me rather than passively waiting for the next question. I wrote this blog-post as I've been thinking about what it will take to build such agents, that watch everything happening in real-time and proactively help.

Curious what others are thinking in this space. Have you been thinking about using AI in a real-time manner? What kinds of proactive agents would you like to see?

Residents of small administrative districts carefully designed to segregate by social class (and, implicitly, race) do not want to new construction. Residents who live slightly farther away do.

Since housing prices and construction have a significant effect on both immediate residents and the rest of the population, it's up to higher levels of the (still democratically elected!) government to resolve the tension—which is exactly what's happening with state-level regulation like RHNA mandates!
Should open source projects denounce users who aren't donating money?
tl;dr According to the blog post's author (me): No
Sales tax, business taxes, tax on commercial and industrial real estate, etc. These also require services, but don't put kids into public school and are much less emotional about tax changes compared to residents.

And you're exactly right, in California most towns would happily guarantee that no new resident ever moves in, and just continue to collect taxes from workers that commute from farther and farther away. Cities at the edge of the bubble (Dublin, Brentwood, Gilroy, etc) build housing because a) they're turning undeveloped land into housing, and b) new housing construction is less unprofitable for the municipality in the beginning and can be offset by development fees.

It sounds crazy, and yet, it's true. For example, Palo Alto has 100,000 workers commuting in to a city of 70,000 people - http://meetingthetwain.blogspot.com/2018/01/palo-alto-work-l...

Claude summary:

A U.S. district court judge ruled in favor of the FTC in an antitrust case, ordering St. Luke's to undo its acquisition of the Saltzer Medical Group. The FTC and others alleged the acquisition violated antitrust regulations by lessening competition and potentially increasing healthcare costs. St. Luke's argued the acquisition was vital to achieve healthcare reform goals and maintain business viability. The judge disagreed, saying there are other ways to improve care without violating antitrust laws and risking increased costs.

Here is an FTC press release detailing how the un-doing of the merger was carried out: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2017/05/...
I'm a software engineer who switched over to working beside Sales as a Sales Engineer. Referrals are the key to getting customers or getting a job.

Reach out to previous co-workers, managers, vendors you've spoken to, anyone. There's bound to be someone who has a broken website that needs to be fixed. It's more effective to spend two hours applying to one job via a warm lead than it is to send 100 applications out to cold leads.

Lowering your salary expectations won't help that much. If someone were optimizing for cost, they'd outsource to Southeast Asia or India.

If you look at the stats, you’re very much outliers.

And if you’ve ever owned before (I have) and also rented (I have), the difference in ability to move and sensitivity to market conditions is dramatically in renters favor the vast majority of the time.

No renter is going to be looking at losing hundreds of grand trying to move in a downturn, for instance. Or like in ‘08, being stuck for years in frozen real estate markets or losing hundreds of grand or more.

No renter is ever going to get hundreds of grand in cash money on sale either, if things go well.

Just the paperwork involved in selling (let alone the other logistics) takes longer and is more involved than renting a new place, even in the tightest markets!

Ownership has its privileges and its costs.
You seem to be making things up or are just ignorant of the market dynamics. Regardless of your personal limited needs, there is actually huge demand for fast, reliable 5G service nationwide. Customers have voted with their wallets.

Moving to 5G with more antennas also allows for more efficient spectrum use in most cases. Spectrum is extremely expensive, and a limiting factor in some areas.

Banks, developers, and realtors are not a unified cartel, they will totally undercut each other if they can, and they are humans that do not have the power of prediction.

Generally speaking, the mechanism by which prices decline is that overzealous building in the boom phase leads to overleveraged people losing their shirts in the bust. The most spectacular example of this is the Japanese asset bubble which has never been returned to; at its peak, the Imperial Palace had a valuation more than the entire state of California. But where I live in Seattle, we are starting to see the effects of the high interest rates; homes are staying available for longer, I am seeing 10-20% valuation drops compared to a year ago and further price cuts in my neighborhood. A particular source of pain this cycle will be people who bought for AirBnB who can’t afford the interest payments anymore.

Zoning is not free in the Bay Area. One major difference is “by-right” development, where buildings that meet predefined codes are automatically approved without political review. For example, most development in New York is by-right. By-right development is not the norm in California, which leads to an expensive, extractive review where people attempt to get their pound of flesh on every single project.
In the words of Steve Jobs, “you’re holding it wrong”.

I’m guessing your code is blocking. You absolutely cannot do blocking code in async in any language, unless the blocking is super quick. No blocking io.

async code should yield great performance if you are doing everything the right way. Yes it is single threaded but either run multiple threads in rust or run multiple instances of your program with systemd.

That applies same to rust, Python, javascript, any async language.
