Bun seems really compelling. I tried it out for a couple of small example projects and I like the speed and the fact that it combines package management and a JS runtime. However, I use Dependabot on most of my serious projects. I know work is under way, or at least there is some discussion in a couple of repo issues, for Bun support in Dependabot. I'm kind of holding off on using it until support for it has been rolled out.
I live in a place with no building codes (and barely any zoning regs) and raw plots i looked at asshole boomers encumbered their title with irrevocable CC&Rs preventing small starter homes before they croked. Most the properties I looked at were poisoned this way making it totally impossible for young starting families to stake down, it was quite infuriating.

You'd be surprised even in rural undeveloped areas how hard it can be to build, it's all gotten much worse in the past 50 years. In the city they damn you with onerous permit and utility connection requirements, in the country they slit the throat with ever more onerous septic and well environmental restrictions which of course were voted in by people who grandfathered their own property in.
This is where I think we are all wrong.

In the UK, the lines are owned by the government and ISPs/telcos rent access to provide service.

This allows for pretty strong competition from the ISPs and stops there from being a billion dead lines buried underground.

To me, government owned lines and connections makes the most sense for society.

I think that's also a big part of why the US train system sucks. Private entities generally don't want to own that infrastructure, they want the trains that can haul the goods. So make them rent the line and have the government manage access just like they do with airplanes and roads.

They are buying the lot. That lot size in Cupertino will allow you to build a house that is 3,555 sq ft, which is bigger than most homes around it (they average about 1800 sq ft). If you build it with a basement, which a lot of new construction is doing around here, you can get up to 5,700 sq ft, since Cupertino doesn't count basement space against you for FAR regulations.

That's a pretty big lot around here, and the developer who buys it and builds the max house on it will sell that house for close to $5M.

I think Proof vs non-proof is part of it, but it’s mostly related to level of abstraction.

You can do proofs for calculus, probability, or logic and still feel like you’re working with the types of problems you do in type A math.

But once you start doing proofs in modern algebra or topology you’re doing things with abstract objects that seem to exist for the amusement of mathematicians that look down on “applied math”

I can't speak with certainty on the topic, but my guess would be that you're starting -- assuming you're an individual buying this lot to build a house to live in -- with a building loan which will turn into a mortgage when the house is finished.

A building loan is how the bank limits its liability on a property that cannot yet act as collateral to a mortgage -- you go to the bank with a plan for how you're going to build a house, and they only give you the funds to complete it as different milestones are met. You get so much money for the foundation, so much for the framing, etc etc etc.

If you successfully build a house in the time period given, the loan converts to a mortgage, secured by the new house, if you don't ... I'm not sure actually. Probably they start expecting payments on the loan at the much less favorable unsecured loan rate, then take over the property when you fail to make payments, to auction off and minimize their losses.
> I'd expected some AAA title to be written in Rust by now. That hasn't happened, and it's probably not going to happen, for the reasons the author gives.

Cupertino regulations won't let them build quite that big unless it's two stories and basement, but yeah, you're right about what will most likely happen.
I once had an idea for an app for managing multiple phone numbers.

The idea being you would have a unique phone number or ext for each contact you want to give. Don't know if it's viable or not.

But I think there's need to be a unique key for everyone you give your number too.

This would enable two things.

1. Discard it as soon as it has been compromised.

2. Know who is leaking your information.

I don't really know if it's a viable solution to implement in practice though.

DS9 did many things, including making Starfleet more believable as galactic power.

Instead of the "everything is awesome, everything always works, there's plenty of everything" bullshit of ST:TNG, we see a Starfleet that has plenty...for the stuff it cares about. And under the veneer, it's also got its fair share of incompetence, bureaucracy, and turf wars/pissing contests - as would be expected from a massive organization.

Starfleet doesn't care about some podunk space station in a former warzone above a planet full of religious zealots...even after it sports a wormhole.

Hmm; so the only thing that can "easily" decay into the stable forms of carbon - C12 and C13 that is - is N13 (β+ to C13 with "minutes" half-life). Nothing decays into C12, since N12 or O12 would have half-lifes so short as to make them "doubtful" isotopes.

But Nitrogen wouldn't crystallise in a diamond lattice; nevermind the crystal absorbing "heat" from the radioactive decay disturbing positions temporarily, there's just no way to arrange Nitrogen and Carbon atoms into similar locations of a crystal lattice. This sort of "transmutation" isn't even science fiction, it's only a dream

> Yet they got pounded here

Huh? Your passive tense suggests this happened to KP’s teams.

From what I’m reading, those are the teams who would have had to actively take action to import the tracking code on their pages.

My money is on “we imported a thing on the website because our advertising team needed to know when advertised users converted from any of many different advertising channels”. Usually it’s easier to import a script on a common layout, rather than just a single landing page.

Ad teams overrule the website / security teams because one is a profit center and the other is a cost center.

Then as engineers / product teams turn over, the new employees don’t know the original intention of the old imported code and are wary to remove it (and if they do, the process is long and drawn out).
It's also much easier to reason about, since scheduling is no longer your problem and you can just write sequential code.

Some of that is one time cost, but you've got ongoing costs like pole maintenance and replacement, repairing breaks, trouble tickets, call centers, etc.

I just don't think you can do that for $15/month, even if the capex of build out has already been paid for. Maaaybe if you had near 100% uptake, like landlines used to have. But no ISP is getting that. Most (certainly not all) people can choose between wired internet from a telco and a cable company, and 4g/5g is available in a lot of places, starlink in less dense places, and a lot of people don't need a separate home internet plan because the only networked device is their phone.

You seem to have misunderstood me. I'm talking about vehicles without attention monitoring systems. Most cars sold in the past ten years technically have "Level-2" driving features but with no driver monitoring systems.

Tesla autopilot / FSD is immensely more capable than 99% of LKAS systems, so maybe that's why regulators care more. But from a pure attentiveness standpoint, 1000 other car models have grossly worse safety in this regard.

However, my argument is that your original claim that the "L2 driver assist system must ensure that the driver is always actively supervising" is demonstrably false, given that, by pure numbers, "Level-2" capable cars, by large, do not have driver monitoring features. However, the government continues to focus solely on Tesla.

I make this point all of the time.

In the US, the rails are private and the government owns the passenger service.
In Europe, the government owns the rails and the passenger service is private.

People try to frame these issues as "socialist/capitalist" or some nonsense all of the time. But the reality is that neither system is more or less capitalist than the other. It's just one is better structured than the other.

However, having lived in a town in the US that has had a public ISP for decades, it was abhorrent. Municipalities only care about cost cutting - so there was no investment in wiring infrastructure or customer service. So I think there is an argument to be made that we may take for granted a bit the difference between rails/roads and fiber optics.

Like a lot of Elizabeth Nolan Brown's Backpage coverage, this feels misleading. To the extent Lacey succeeded in court, he did so on technical grounds; the decision is extraordinarily damning about Backpage itself, effectively casting it as a knowing and important link in the supply chain of human trafficking. Which, of course, is what it was. You don't so much get that analysis from Reason; you have to read the (quite long) verdict instead, which is linked from the story.
You do realize crop insurance is actually subsidized by the Feds right? Yes, individuals still pay, but the feds cover a portion of the premiums. Commodity market price controls are a form of subsidization.

> Bevy has the advantage of being built using the "right way" from the start

I think the article is precisely criticizing this type of comment... You make people believe that Bevy is some kind of safe bet for the future, that it took inspiration from the greatest to build even better foundations for a game engine... And it seems common in the Rust community: make audacious unverifiable claims to enroll other "believers". But it's easy to claim when the tool itself has a fraction of the functionalities of Unreal, Unity or Even Godot. Heck, last time I used it (about 2 years ago) there wasn't even any built-in physics stuff. You have to install plugins from every corner, some require old Bevy versions, some other require newer versions... It's seriously unusable to just "get things done"

I studied both A and B. In college, I declared a double major in math and physics. Then I went to grad school in physics.

Granted, it was one brain (mine) studying both subjects, so it should not be shocking that I learned both in the same way. Of course I practiced lots of problems and derivations in my physics class, but I also practiced and memorized lots of proofs in my upper level (i.e., more theoretical) math classes.

And truth be told, maybe even in my liberal arts courses as well. Thanks to programming, I got really good at typing. Thanks to owning a personal computer (one of the first at my college) I started writing and re-writing a lot. Repetition and practice even got me through those courses.

It was simply mercenary at the time, not wanting to waste time during exams recalling the easy stuff gave me more time to think about the hard stuff. But I think it did help me in the long run. I still use a lot of that stuff today, at age 60, though it's certainly more computer-aided than it was back then.

I'm still amazed there isn't a simpler popular method that uses another shot at an oblique angle to resolve and remove reflections. Google's PhotoScan does this, but it's kinda awkward to use. I feel like we have the technology that should be able to dump a few photos in an app, pick one to refine, and then have it use the extras to fill in obscured areas. There was another project that removed chain link fences using a similar approach I forget the link to.

At least for me, it's really easy for me to take a few steps to the side and take another photo. But haven't found a program that can use that photo.

> Architecting these sorts of services properly can assist in making tool choices that drastically boost maintainability and feature delivery, especially for small teams

I hate hearing this argument, because it glosses over the hard realities of building products, even if it sounds good on paper. Companies don't often have the resources to hire people that can do this early on, or the time to do this early on even if they do have the talent. And it might not be correct to do so when you have uncertain future requirements.

If that talent is you, you might not even be trusted to make those kinds of decisions until a year or two of tenure. And you might have junior (or even 'senior') devs on the side making changes that make this harder to do, without anyone realizing it.

So the reality is that you can't expect systems to be "architected properly" and you get what you get. It's an incremental process.
