The dark pattern is that car dealership websites, and even car manufacturer sites (looking at you Ford) will drag you through an intricate design process only to land you on a form that will say "Thank you for customizing your dream car! We've sent your request to <salesperson> at <your nearest dealership>, they will call you" and it's completely disingenuous.

They gate these processes with lots of contact/lead gen questions so that you will get absolutely rekt with text messages, emails and phonecalls which adds insult to injury.
But when the most common business plan is "1. Spend VC millions, 2. Acquire non-paying customers, 3. ???, 4. Profit!" it kinda seems like the un-written step 3 is "get acquired by a MAGMA company". You just say something like "oh, we'll get revenue by adding advertising / premium accounts later" as a fig-leaf for the public.

Can pen and paper legally enter into a contract?

The answer is that the tools aren't part of the contract. People make contracts, the tools aren't (usually) relevant.

In this case, I think this could potentially be missing a critical element of a valid contract "meeting of the minds"
I think here you're talking more about what eventually will happen, while your earlier comment (and the one I was responding to), is more about what is happening. The fact that the polarization may end up playing out better than in the US (though the situation in Germany as of yet gives no indications of that) is a different issue than the fact that there is an undeniably sharp rise in polarization, even in places with stringent speech controls.

The Reuters article is just a history of Chinese steel production. It doesn't support anything you said. According to the CNN article, Nucor, an American non-unionized American company, is successfully utilizing mini-mills.

> One pioneer of this mini-mill technology, Charlotte-based Nucor has a market capitalization of $42.5 billion compared to US Steel’s value of just over $14 billion as set by this deal.

> Nucor is also the largest steelmaker in America by output, making an estimated 20.6 million metric tons of steel per year, ranking 16th largest in the world. That compares to 14.49 million metric tons from US Steel, including its operations in Europe, which rank 27th in the world for 2022, according to the World Steel Association.

Family policy creates externalities in society. As Lee Kuan Yew said in Singapore: Political_positions_of_Lee_Kuan_Yew (“I am often accused of interfering in the private lives of citizens. Yes, if I did not, had I not done that, we wouldn’t be here today. And I say without the slightest remorse, that we wouldn’t be here, we would not have made economic progress, if we had not intervened on very personal matters–who your neighbour is, how you live, the noise you make, how you spit, or what language you use.”).

That’s coded as an “Asian” view, but until quite recently it was also the “American” view. The prosperous society in which we live, which was already in place by the mid-20th century, is the product of a mindset where it was taken for granted that state governments have plenary authority to regulate the “health, safety, welfare, and morals” of the people.

Is that even legal?
I actually think it's more likely that this is to prevent people from posting videos of ongoing Israeli war crimes and the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, and also to prevent people from posting anything in support of Palestine or Hamas.

It's become apparent that the Israeli political/war/propaganda machine has an incredible amount of influence - far beyond anything I'd personally imagined could be possible. They've been able to effectively commandeer most of the West's "traditional" mass media, but social media is a huge problem for their narrative, as it allows people to see what is really happening, often in real-time.

I clearly see now the benefit to humanity or a system like Twitter, but it really worries me that Twitter/X is in the hands of a single billionaire, especially one with some very controversial views. I'm not sure what the solution is, but we (humanity) really need something free from the influence of government (foreign or domestic) and other bad actors.

Figma had revenue about in line with Heroku, with a similar growth curve. However, Figma has an even more difficult expansion story than Heroku because it's already near 100% market penetration for its core market.

Salesforce bought Heroku for $212 million. By avoiding spending $20 billion for a similar company, in my estimation Adobe has finally come to its senses.

This really seems like an executive wanted to make an unrealistic long bet a couple of years ago, and since then Adobe has seen Figma's financials and cooler heads prevailed.
> Maybe this is a mistranslation; but when Ezekiel 16:50 uses a word from Greek that means "sexually disgusting," Leviticus 18:22 remarks that it is an "abomination," and Jude 1:7 states that "Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion," it's very hard to claim that all the verses were mistranslations.

The passage from Leviticus seems explicitly about male homosexuality, but Ezekiel seems more vague in this translation:

> 49 “‘Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. 50 They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

And Jude also doesn't seem to explicitly mention homosexuality, but I guess it's calling back to another piece of writing that the reader is expected to be familiar with.

Lol, I love these clueless takes. That's why the 1990s saw a low, steady rate of inflation -- because there was so little greed. But starting around 2022, we saw a sudden surge of greed, when there was so little greed beforehand. And that's how things got so expensive!

Tbh anyone growing up in (democratic) Europe would consider the US to be extremely censored compared to Europe simply because most obviously censored media is TV and that's very censored in the US and mostly uncensored in Europe. From an outside perspective that censorship is hard to square with the 1st amendment but I think americans just grew used to that.

Some European countries have written constitutions and some don't. But within the EU, the EU charter article 11 has the role of the US 1st amendment as being a written consitution regulating free speech https://fra.europa.eu/en/eu-charter/article/11-freedom-expre...

The claims in the article feel kinda weak as to the motivation.

> Cohen's EuroRust talk highlighted that one of the major reasons gccrs is being developed is to be able to take advantage of GCC's security plugins. There is a wide range of existing GCC plugins that can aid in debugging, static analysis, or hardening; these work on the GCC intermediate representation

> One more reason for gccrs to exist is Rust for Linux, the initiative to add Rust support to the Linux kernel. Cohen said the Linux kernel is a key motivator for the project because there are a lot of kernel people who would prefer the kernel to be compiled only by the GNU toolchain.

That explains why you’d want GCC as the backend but not why you need a duplicate front end. I think it’s a bad idea to have multiple front ends and Rust should learn from the mistakes of C++ which even with a standards body has to deal with a mess of switches, differing levels of language support for each compiler making cross-platform development harder, platform-specific language bugs etc etc.

> A lot of care is being put into gccrs not becoming a "superset" of Rust, as Cohen put it. The project wants to make sure that it does not create a special "GNU Rust" language, but is trying instead to replicate the output of rustc — bugs, quirks, and all. Both the Rust and GCC test suites are being used to accomplish this.

In other words, I’d love gccrs folks to explain why their approach is a better one than rustc_codegen_gcc considering the latter is able to achieve this with far less effort and risk.
Yeah, but you can equally ignore fgetc and friends in C. My only point here is that IO in the standard library is not very good in either language.

IMO a parser should be reading the entire file, and then parsing as a block of memory, by default, for most use cases these days. That way you don’t have to think about IO while you are parsing. Streaming parsers are niche these days for good reasons.
It’s still a multi-billion dollar company. At that scale, you’re not facing any real disadvantages in the legal process even against Apple unless your company is actively losing money already and you won’t have enough cash on hand to continue operating. A quick looksie at their financials indicates that is not the case here.

I don’t want to say Market Cap doesn’t matter, but man is it irrelevant to most discussions and mainly of use to PR agents that want to spin a David and Goliath story.
I have no comment on this specific case, but in general: all of those things—all government interventions that ostensibly protect an industry or company—make it more brittle, less efficient, and more likely to fail. That is precisely the point.

You can’t build a successful business by ignoring reality.

I should rewrite this as - if I find a leak that I accidentally introduced, I will refactor in the process of correcting it, to make the mistake harder to repeat and the correctness easier to confirm.

There are non-language mechanisms that help code run safely, like Wasm, which is a sandbox. Also msan and asan should be used more.

Thinking that changing the language is the right way to fix all the problems you mentioned still seems like a premature assumption. The fact that 100% perfection is worth pursuing at all costs is theoretical and you could be losing things more valuable in the process - e.g. FFI bindings suck, and the added fragmentation in having so many languages in the craft is a pernicious cost with a multitude of aspects to it.

You mean if a monopoly is created, it should be regulated like a utility. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me, not sure what's invalid about this way of thinking.
Yes, there are different ways to subscribe. And again, I find it extremely weird to be supposed to keep paying indefinitely because you keep using something you bought.

I think it would be important to record and review the exact language used. People have a tendency to speculate, project and misremember things. "Let us know when you have more traction," could easily (and wrongly) be translated to, "They said they want to work with us once we can prove growth," which is not the same statement.

If you asked someone on a date, and they said, "Get back to me when your abs are showing," would you actually surmise that you were a good match and just needed to do more crunches?

The problem with using AI to filter and denoise is that the things we clearly know are unwanted noise are more quickly removed through other means (I can run the fully automated part of processing EEG data in under an hour with my code). The laborious part is quality control related to more subjective things that research is still figuring out what is important.
I haven't looked at the code, but my guess would be that the whole data structure lives in a single chunk of RAM, and the tree is described as offsets to a base address (so probably more compact than with embedded pointers).

Of course reading the values at each offset will require constructing a pointer address, but if the whole chunk can fit in the L2 data cache then reading those values at the calculated address will be very fast since the whole data structure is in cache.

The aim isn't a compiler optimization, but a runtime on CPU core optimization.

I wonder if there would be interest in a non-crypto version of the Brave program. In theory, that's exactly what they do: you set a total monthly donation and which creators you want to support, and the browser keeps track of how much each should get at the end of the month.

Unfortunately, what ended up happening is that the program is too complicated for people with disposable income who would be interested and it got stuck in a bad spot between "big enough to attract crypto 'investors' who only care about hodling" and "not big enough to be attractive to high-profile creators".

> The blue/green icon debacle should have been ruled discriminatory.

This discrimination is not arbitrary, it is critical functionality. The set of features available to blue icons is vastly broader (it goes far beyond messaging) than the features available to green icons. Some of these features cannot be practically replicated to non-Apple platforms.

Blue icons also have a much higher quality of service because they don't rely on telco infrastructure for delivery. Green icon messages frequently get lost or are delivered extremely late.

I use WhatsApp, Signal, and iMessage daily. Apple's iMessage (blue icon version) is the best of the bunch and it isn't particularly close. I don't think this is because there is anything special about iMessage per se, it is more that implementing complex core features across a broad range of unrelated platforms necessarily dumbs things down to the lowest common denominator, which makes for an unnecessarily rubbish experience on many platforms. iMessage goes for depth where other messaging platforms go for breadth.
