To introduce evidence at trial you need to "lay a foundation" which generally means you need someone with knowledge of the evidence to swear under oath to its veracity and provenance.
It's worse than that. Say 100 companies run trials on their drugs, and only one succeeds, and you buy that company. You have to look not just at the company that ends up with the drug that works, but the whole ecosystem of small companies that are doing the exploration, hoping to hit it big and cash in by being bought.

> Type checkers shouldn't get in the way of your code compiling.

I don't get it, what's the point of type checking if not to reject invalid programs? The point of a type system isn't simply to add annotations to a programmer (and some type systems can omit them entirely) but to define the subset of programs that are correct within the set of all the programs that can be expressed.

I understand (and have used in production) optionally/gradually typed languages, and without fail codebases will opt for using types up front and not ignoring type check failure because they are always incorrect.

A type error is the compiler/run time telling you "I don't understand what you told me" so why do you want to ignore that?

And if the point is that you want to be able to change the type signature of something without having to refactor giant chunks of code, then that suggests your code is structured poorly to begin with. It should be easy to pull in what you need and play with it without affecting everything else if you haven't done a bad job of architecting the codebase.

Sometimes it can be obvious
As a Physicist, let me explain my own viewpoint, not necessarily shared by other physicists.

Think of musicians. Most of the great musicians across never studied music theory, and never studied philosophy relevant to music in some way. But every good musician practices philosophy. They ask, what is good music, what does it mean to produce good music? What is relationship of my audience with my music? Why does this kind of music produce these kinds of emotions? And they discuss this with other musicians quite a lot.

They are engaging with philosophy as it concerns their profession. Physicists/scientists also do this. Some more than others. What do the results of this experiment truly mean? Can we trust the results? What criteria should we use to judge a new theory? These discussions happen all the time. Physicists are obviously not opposed to any of this because it is part of their profession.

What philosophers mean, when they say, why do Physicists not read the stuff we want you to read. And invariably that stuff is a hundred or five hundred years old. Physicists love and revere Einstein, so they take his words and rewrite it and improve it a thousand times, so that a century later we have a far far far more sophisticated philosophical understanding of general relativity and, say, entanglement, than he ever did. This is what Physicists are interested in. Improving the quality of the body of our knowledge and beliefs.

If philosophers want Physicists to read philosophy, at minimum, they will have to rewrite and improve the stuff of dusty old men, and make strong connections with modern physics research. And ask people to read this new stuff.

Ruby was released in 1995 and didn't really have its heyday of developer hype until Rails came along a decade later. Python didn't start gaining serious traction for about a decade after its 0.9.0 release either. Go's immediate uptake seems like an outlier in programming language lifecycles.

No, but in practice.

Because the type of game you produce in that time frame isn't typically the one that needs to worry about parallelizing multiple compute units.
This falls in the "you know that what you know isn't enough to build the thing" bucket, presumably. Even if you're a Rust expert, do you know how to manage game asset content pipelines? Sound and music? Have you done graphics programming at all in Rust? How are you going to store levels in your game, and how are you going to make them? How are you doing multiplayer? etc...

You're going to have to learn something new, and it's a bit of a judgment call, but picking up C# or gdscript given that you already know programming should be straightforward compared to re-implementing all of those things yourself in Rust.

Unless, of course, you do know a bunch of great Rust game development libraries that solve all those problems--in which case yeah, building a game in Rust might be the best choice. It's not impossible!
The cost of manufacturing the drug is only relevant if the drug can be discovered and proved effective by the Magic Drug Fairy.

Here in the real world, that manufacturing cost is largely irrelevant.
Drugs may be overpriced.

There is probably some bloat in drug development. But then again, maybe not. I'm not an expert.

What I do know is that drugs have gotten dramatically better in the short amount of time I've been alive.

The other thing we all know is that the source of this article, The Guardian and their friends, have a shitlist of industries and institutions it loves to hate.

Ask yourself: will they ever write a positive article about a defense contractor, a bank, big pharma, a US billionaire, or a landlord, even if said entity walks on water and then saves a million babies and the penguins and the world?
OCaml could be that language.

I’m not convinced that ecosystem is so important for game dev. Once you have a simple graphics library, bindings to BulletPhyiscs etc most of the code is custom simulation code with no integrations needed.

It's really sad what people are willing to do to other animals 8-(

I think the most hypocritical example are pets, especially dogs, which are kidnapped off their suckling mother's tit, to be handed to a human for imprinting. To the extent that catts, and other pet animals, are manufactured for consumption, the same applies to them.

People will claim these animals are "a part of their family", and that the dogs have more empathy to their problems than other people do, but still feel OK with them being stolen away from their actual families.

Right. Yes, you are correct. I assumed C++ was the language they replaced with Rust because they wanted to write lower level stuff, like their own engines (and they mention doing that).

It makes even less sense to use Rust to replace one of the higher level languages like C#.
Conversations that people have in science and engineering are more analytical and pessimistic, where they try to clarify and set the boundaries.

This is the opposite of creative and optimistic conversation, where you break boundaries between things to create something new.

The attitude to be analytical in conversations comes from the fact, that software engineers usually do creative part of their work alone, and use communication for analytical part (code review, requirement clarification, etc). For some creative people it's natural to do creative work together, especially in music, so it's easier for them to adopt a creative attitude in conversations.
The problem is systemic, it's not about knowing more or monitoring. It's finding an economic system that is both competitive compared to capitalism and market economy, and free of emissions.

The Walmart distribution center built around where I grew up was not known as a hub of shit jobs. It was a source of envy.

Advice should be - you should do what you like and try to align it with your client (employer) - otherwise you'll burnout rather quickly.
If you are invaded by another country, then you are in a defensive war. Beyond that, countries often will claim they are in defensive wars, when reality is somewhat more ambiguous. Imagine Mexico announced plans to enter into a military alliance with China, which would entail setting up nukes right on the US border. We would invade Mexico approximately 0 seconds later, to ensure such an outcome never happened. The closest we ever came to intentional nuclear war happened over this exact sort of scenario with the Cuban Missile Crisis. Is that defensive?

Let's say we're slightly more subtle with the above. And we 'compel' a region in Mexico to declare their independence and announce an association with the US; we immediately acknowledge their independence. Mexico predictably seeks to shut down said rebellion and invades. We then come to their aid, and start a war against Mexico. Is that defensive? What if said independence seeking was completely organic instead of compelled?

I'm not speaking rhetorically. These questions are difficult, if not impossible to answer. So when I say defensive war, I am speaking literally of the most basic form imaginable. Otherwise, you end up with a million scenarios where the line between defender and invader often come down to one's perspective, instead of some objective qualification. You also risk recreating WW1 where a Bosnian Serb assassinating an Austro-Hungarian royal results in Brits killing Germans over it, and everybody has a plausible claim of behaving defensively, somehow.

Without comment on the broader subject of drug pricing - especially in the US - this article leaves out enough relevant information that I would consider it to be intellectually dishonest.

Where did they run the trials? Across how many sites? Do they plan to apply for marketing approval in the US or EU? Are they the manufacturer? Did they beat the cost of setting up the supply chain and manufacturing facilities prior to the phase 2/3 trials?

The answers to those first three questions will have a huge impact on the price tag.

These can still be large. I generally include them unconditionally because I think they bring value but most software does not.
Rust is a language with a very high mental cost to use effectively. It requires some fundamental paradigm shifts in the way you write software, hence it's a hard language to be productive in.

For some tasks, the tradeoff is worth it. Some individuals are naturally very inclined to use it.

But for most people, for most tasks, it's simply not the right tool. It's not a general purpose language by any stretch of the imagination.
People who don't like prices of new drugs are free to not use those drugs.

Of course this won't deter a sufficiently motivated thief, but it does prevent someone with sticky fingers swiping your stuff during a "random inspection".

The issue is that unlike cheap gardeners, where most of the population benefits and a small portion of the population loses (‘native’ gardeners - probably just a couple % of the labor force), approx. 51% of the population ‘loses’ with cheap sex work.

Which is why, in almost every jurisdiction, prostitution is illegal.

But since approx. 49% of the population ‘wins’, it is also why it still happens, just where it isn’t obvious.

Perhaps the more appropriate advice is : Use the right tool for the job.

Use C++ for writing a high performance library or a database engine.

Use Go or Java for writing a server.

Use C for writing a kernel module.

Use shell scripts for automation.

Use python for trying out ML ideas or heavier duty scripts.

Use Rust for ... I'm not quite sure what it's the right tool for yet. I suspect it's trying to become the right tool for all of the above and not succeeding much in practice.
Rust gets in the way a lot, as it's supposed to for safety. Maybe it'd be a lot faster to iterate on if some AI could auto fix your code to make the compiler happy.
