All the new builds in my area share a rendered concrete and jail-bar fencing aesthetic that is monstorous, undesirable and ugly. There are no sensible features to look at. The corners of the build look so sharp, you'd cut your hand if you touched them.

The hundred-million dollar shopping centre was done up last year and it removed most of the internal landmarks and created a series of flat hallways. There is nothing to rest your eyes upon, nothing to look at.

It's one flat, dated shop after another. Usually based on some dead subculture from 10yrs ago and recent ladies' fashion trends.

The apartments went up as part of the build and that are flat cubes, copy pasted with doors and windows cut into a wall behind a front patio of flat wooden slats. Minecraft aesthetic for ferrari prices.

It is physically irritating to look for a pattern or a boundary line or a landmark and find nothing to anchor yourself. Everything is textureless and shapeless. I avoid the place.

The concept of an aspirational home is dead in my books. The traditional homes may raise the blood pressure a touch too much and seem complex.. The contemporary builds are ugly and irritating.

A sense of balance, proportion, beauty and differentiated shapes, physically calms me. It has to be updated traditional. Neo classical or french colonial or some such new variation on an outdated style.
Good point, I overlooked that, there's no way to be as efficient on a moving object anyways and being flat makes it less worse.
Who said anything about taking away cars?

However it shouldn't be necessary for me to walk in a ditch along a high speed road with no sidewalk just to get to the grocery that is less than half a mile away.
You've had the thought of, and conveyed the thought to others, the intent and meaning of the phrase "shit show", so why shy away from writing it?
Commercial airline failures often lead to sudden and large-scale loss-of-life. I don't know that you can say the same for products and services regulated by the other agencies you mentioned.

I also don't know that I agree with your assertions. Do you have further evidence about FAA is held to such a higher standard than other regulatory agencies and how those other agencies failures are so much more frequent and have wrought so much more damage on the lives of the public?
I'm all for replacing C++ with Rust in the base system. Next step would be to move OpenSSL to ports, [with alternative libreSSL based ports tree available] and use rustls for fetch and friends.

Go and FreeBSD share the similarity of a large base system that’s useful out of the box: in go the runtime and large, useful stdlin, in FreeBSD the base system composed of the kernel and standard programs. Both also encourage a certain cultural aesthetics around that base of accepting and going with the flow of the base’s limitations. For FreeBSD, things like composing posixly-correct sh scripts, BSD Makefile stuff. For Go, boilerplate, if err != nil, for a long time “you don’t need generics”.

In contrast, Linux and Rust are both smaller core systems with more exposed complexity, but also require a large user space to make the core useful. Linux is just a kernel so you gotta bring everything else in the OS. Rust you need libraries for things most other languages (including Go) include, like regex, async, etc. However both Linux and Rust have a culture of adapting the system to work exactly how you like, in Linux again you bring everything you want - want systemd? Cool. Don’t want systemd, that’s cool too. In rust, people go absolutely crazy with macros and abstractions and likely it will still be plenty fast at runtime.
We did try it. Mistakes were made, perhaps. But we did try it and it devastated the African American community.

I was enthusiastic about OpenID when it came out. I actually had been idly building an almost identical thing (proof of concept stage, but it wasn't sure how to get the needed widespread adoption so didn't pursue it much further) but stopped once I found OpenID.

What I really liked was you could login with your own IdP, so for example you typed in "yourdomain.com" and got redirected to authenticate (no interaction if you already had a live session on your IdP). You could enable this with an html meta tag, even if you didn't run the actual provider.

Unfortunately the only big site I used that had it was stack overflow.

I haven't followed as closely but I don't think OpenID Connect (which is based on oath2) even allows this; instead it only works with the providers the site operator has decided to enable it for. Which of course are typically just the big ones.
I tried reading this, but for some reason I can't connect with it. The ideas that the author wrote seems very foreign to me (born and raised in Asia).

For example, this doesn't ring a bell :

> You thought that doing this – taking drugs, lying to your best friend – would give you the life you wanted; and then it doesn’t

Or this:

> You have to be bad in order to discover what kind of good you want to be (or are able to be).

To me, what was considered "good" was clearly laid out by parents and schools. I think it's the same here in the US: a large portion of the population follow the definition of "good" from their parents and churches (a bit less so from schools)

I would love to have some help to understand the article's viewpoint better.

You don't want the "jump scares" though.
It's mostly from the cybersecurity standpoint actually, at least for large projects / companies. MS, Chromium, Project Zero, Mozilla, have pretty consistently found that north of 70% of vulnerabilities were rooted in memory safety.

The dev-error is broader language guarantees, which dovetail into memory safety but are useful on their own e.g. data race safety, rich type system, ...
A lot of these same issues came to light at the time of the MAX 8 crashes and their followup as well.

We need to go beyond education; the FDA should start demanding reductions in non nutritional and fructose sweetened foods;

Ultra filtered milk is an example where we have the means to double protein, convert lactose to sucrose - and has an extensive shelf life; but educating on why one milk is different than the other is extremely difficult.

"Enriched" white bread is an example where wheat bread has less sugar, more protein, more fiber.

Different brands of rice has different fiber contents too; the store brand had 1g of fiber and 1g of protein, but the premium store brand had 5g of fiber and 3g of protein.

And cereal too; Cheerios had 2 fewer carbs, 2g more protein and 2g more fiber than the store brand of whole wheat cereal. (that's a roughly 20% difference)

The way I read it, that paragraph is not about whether anyone can be a well-adjusted human or not. Rather, it is about how specifically some people discover what kind of good they want to be by being bad.

In that sense, "you have to be bad" talks to those people specifically, and uses "have" to refer to that causal process.

I wish that Costco didn't have cars.

I used to bike past it on my morning commute and it was heart-poundingly dangerous. Drivers will jump in front of you and slam on the brakes so they can get into the parking garage entrance. The taxis aggressively pulling out from the stop just add to the thrill.
15 years ago I remember a colleague who'd bought a TV a month earlier get a refund for the difference from Amazon because the TV had recently come down in price. That's great service, don't get me wrong. I just don't think this sort of thing should be expected, particularly when it's not about a price drop you couldn't know about, and it's just not clicking an unsubscribe link.
I know this well. I've also head to argue for 'even if we become a monopolist is our market, the current service without scaling will keep up (we can literally get a reasonable guess of the total number of potential users), why are you implementing holizontal scaling?'
That's really interesting. I had poverty and instability growing up, and I tend to treat the instability as an effect of the poverty. And I blame many of my adult problems on that poverty. But in truth, if I had to get rid of one then I would keep the poverty and get rid of the instability.

Except for one thing: poverty forced us to live in the forest because we couldn't afford to live in town. That social isolation was hands-down the worst and most long-term harmful thing that I ever experienced. Poverty can also be poison.
> a national project to build cheap concrete housing for all who need it

Out of curiosity, have you looked into this?

This was basically the NYCHA approach in the '30s-'50s. Then we got the '70s-80s, and for sure some good came from these developments -- rap music! -- but by all accounts they were not wonderful places to live. Not only because they often segregated poverty, but also because they were poorly maintained, like so many other state-owned housing schemes.

Housing is expensive, yes, and we need more of it, yes. But low-cost housing without other support is not a solution to the "epidemic of homelessness and crime" in cities. We need better plans to help people get out of poverty, treatment for addiction and other mental health problems, integration into society, meaningful work, etc. etc.

I'm not picking on you in particular (you do say "for example", so perhaps you already know the above!) but other should know that the mere availability of cheap or even free housing is not a panacea for social ills.
The same reason that anyone might choose another phrase or word short of one considered to be a less-mannered.
There is/was a school of thought that each user should have their own database account, and the application should connect to the database as that user. The advantage being you can use the database's built-in user and role management and privileges instead of having to invent your own. I have admittedly not seen this done much, but there is a certain appeal to it.
Car-centric design reduces freedom, because it requires an expensive car in order to go anywhere. Nothing says freedom like a $900/month car payment in order to get to work and buy groceries![0]

Bulk stores like Costco are only necessary because people live in such sprawling communities. In places where you live a short walk from a grocery store, you can practice just-in-time logistics, and buy whatever you need as soon as you need it.

It's a lot cheaper, both in economic and environmental terms, to build cities where people don't need to drive for their daily needs.

Quality of my comment is awesome despite being slightly off of original question, chatgpt.

And you are not to judge it anyway.

Because it addresses the most probable root cause of such a silly question (wtf the sum game has with karma to begin with?) rather than giving direct answer to a meaningless question.

In other words my comment is an elaborate and polite version of “this silly question can’t be answered for real”

Yep. Even all aircraft carriers outside the US and France are conventionally fueled.

For example the British:

We had a very interesting and successful run with branded BBQ tongues. They are very cheap, unassuming and large enough that you could see them sticking out of bags here and there.

It was by far the oddest giveaway at that conference. The 13th pen just doesn't yield any reaction at all. The tongues were a bit of a conversation starter.
One early 90s Comdex, some company gave out 4' fiberglass rods with Beatings will continue until morale improves on them. I have no clue what the company did (something with printing, maybe), but everybody in Vegas was carrying one. I kept it for years in the corner of my office.

The idea that things can't change, much less that cities of all places can't change, can only be thought by shortening knowledge of history to a tiny window.

Even current American cities have changed drastically in the past 50 years. They will change again.
Teenage girls in particular fall prey to that mass conditioning. In recent years, platforms like TikTok incentivise their early sexualisation. Before that it was teen pop and MTV videos. You just don’t see a 20-year-old woman imagining herself as a housewife and cooking meals anymore. Her biggest asset is her body and she uses it as a tool to manipulate men.
Well yes, it works well in c++ because the language has a strong distinction between value semantics and reference semantics, so when you remove a value from a container it must clearly be destroyed. A GC'd language with aliased references can't call destructors in this case. At best can do it when the object is collected.

Yet I think an high level language could have the same value/reference distinction. Or you could do it with linear types.
If taxis and car shares gave people what they wanted, then people would sell their cars and use these alternatives.

But they evidently don't, because people prefer to own cars, and that's why they own cars.

Don't condescend people by pretending you know what's best for them.

I can't give you just one selling point, because Rust has two main competitive features, and it's hard for me to say which one is enticing FreeBSD more here:

1. Rust has a more modern sense of computer primitives than C does. For example, C has the char-short-int-long-long long set of types which correspond to 8, 16, 32, and 64 bit integers in practice (and yes, 5 types for 4 sizes), whereas Rust has u8/u16/u32/u64. Rust also has a builtin slice type, which is a desperately needed notion of pointer + size of array, and C's lack of such type has proven to be the source of much malware. The standard library is also somewhat richer too, you have better support for things like threads or networking than C/C++ does. But note that Rust is still like C in that it has a very thin runtime layer, and can also go a step further and have "no" standard library at all, which is necessary in several contexts.

2. The borrow checker. Effectively, use-after-free (or any other lifetime issue) vulnerabilities become compiler errors, and even many kinds of data races are also turned into compiler errors. Also it can do things like make iterator invalidation issues a compiler error as well.
I don't know if it's always hoarding. A lot of stuff on the internet simply disappears. Especially when it's hosted by a single person, or an org that might not be around in 3 years, or they get takedowns (whether legal or not).

If you find something you'd like to keep accessing, downloading it all in advance can be a smart move.
We're all going to end up working for dev agencies that build stuff for IP holding companies in Panama, which then license the use of that software back to their parent American tech companies.
All symptomatic of zoning/regulation issues. A lot of things are housing problems in disguise.

If you let people build 15 min cities where walking/cycling makes sense, they will.
> getting used to the borrow checker's rules is a big part of Rust's learning curve.

It’s also a big part of C and C++’s learning curves, it’s just that the compiler doesn’t tell you about it; you’re being taught by segfaults and silent memory corruption instead.

Thanks for the reply! I was thinking that the greenhouses would be arranged in a circle, so there'd be a sweet spot in a ring at the very least. But it does sound rather.. difficult. I suppose that sweet spot would also not be in a fixed place, either. Pity.
Do what we've successfully done for hundreds of years: Fine and potentially prosecute them. Stop pretending software engineers are special snowflakes, and apply the same standards we use for bridges, roads, etc. None of those are perfect, but they do manage to do things like stop using known-bad materials, which is broadly equivalent to allowing script injection via password fields.
I don’t understand how more state control is preferable. I live in California and the state government is not very in tune to the needs of my locality and seems very corrupt.

These are SQL commands. The WAF would see the password unless you pre-hash it on the client side in JavaScript (not a bad idea). But the database really should never ever see the plaintext password. If it does you're doing a lot more wrong than just being open to SQL injection.
You know, at first I said this is a stupid youtuber stunt, probably dangerous, and definitely wasteful. But, if it could fold up like that then I see no reason it couldnt be designed into a areodynamic fairing, and its a surprising amount of solar coverage. All in all, I would never put this on my car, even if I was paid; but, it could be done very professionally, its significantly less impractical than I was expecting (though not totally), and the most important part is people want it.
I think it may matter in specifics of how Red Hat chose to implement GPL compliance recently. This means that even non-clients of Red Hat can ask for copy of source code as long as they have binaries. And you should definitely have right to give away binaries without asking Red Hat for permission.
It's something called free will about what you choose to consume.
My own experience was vastly different.
>requires an expensive car in order to go anywhere.

... the prevalence of 2000s Nissan Altimas on the road suggests that a cheap car works pretty well for many people.
If car centric suburban development gave people what they want, it would be cheaper than the very few places in the US thay allow one to survive by taxi and car share.
> Rust and C++ work very similarly with respect to objects you own.

There is one major difference. In Rust you can memcpy objects you own to a different base address and they will still work, unless they're pointed at by a Pin<> type (as such, code that requires objects to stay put in memory must take a Pin<> reference. This arrangement may potentially be replaced by a special "?Move" trait in future editions of Rust). C++ pins all objects by default and allows objects to have custom "move" constructors, to sort of enable them to be moved elsewhere.

In C++, objects that get "moved" must leave behind something that can be destructed cleanly; Rust has no such limitation, at least wrt. ordinary moves. Arguably the closest thing it has to a C++ move is the .take() pattern, which leaves a default-constructed object behind. But this is rarely used.

The general tradeoff is that the Rust pattern memcpy's compound objects more often, but has less gratuitous use of the heap and less pointer chasing compared to idiomatic C/C++. This is a valid choice once one has the compiler support that Rust provides.
Let's run the numbers!

The speed of sound in an ideal (calorically perfect) gas is given by

a = sqrt( gamma * R * T )

where gamma is the ratio of specific heats (thermodynamic property of a gas, which may vary with temperature), R is the individual gas constant, and T the temperature of the fluid. All of these are going to be different on Mars versus on Earth:

Earth:
R = R_atm = 287 J / (kg * K)
gamma = 1.44
T = 293 K (taking room temperature as an average temperature)

Mars:
R = R_CO2 = 188 J / (kg * K)
gamma = 1.37
T = 210 K (from a quick google, about -60 deg C)

If the Martian and Earth atmospheres were at the same temperature, then the speed of sound on Mars would be 80% that of the speed of sound on Earth. Given the temperature difference, the speeds of sound are

a_mars = 232 m/s
a_earth = 347 m/s

So yes, much of the difference is due to the composition: the Martian atmosphere has a higher atomic weight, which leads to a lower individual gas constant, and decreases the speed of sound. However, a substantial amount of the difference is simply due to the different temperatures on the surfaces of the two planets.
