> wait I can't add this new thing because things will no longer compile, and there's no workaround other than code restructuring

I definitely think that's a great feature. I want to learn on day 2 that the design is a dead end, not on day 101 when I ship on day 100 and there was a race condition on day 2 I never noticed.

But the thing about gamedev (I guess - I'm not a game developer) is that the code being great and doing what you hope it will do isn't 100% of the job as it is in other disciplines. In gamedev you may want to run the code, and the way it runs (fun, feel, whatever) might be bad even though it compiles, works according to a spec and so on. So while I'm usually happy to write code for a week and never run it - game development feels like it's all about the iteration.

That said, game development is also game engine development. And Rust seems absolutely perfect for engine development (you need "fearless" concurrency and performance and there are zero mainstream languages that will do that other than rust). For people who feel it's too rigid or hard to iterate with perhaps hybrid could work. Like Rust + Lua or something sounds like it could be worth trying.
By that logic you could in theory use a VOIP number to call...
That's just the status of Bun. Wait for implementations -> turns out you need more implementations of other APIs once that's done -> wait some more -> it comes out but will crash at various edge cases -> wait some more -> repeat. Bun is just too early in its lifecycle. Very hopeful for the project though!
Right. If someone could come up with a pill or something to maintain motivation and make all the bugs and hairy annoying details feel fresh again, just like the feeling of starting over, I would certainly part with my money. But there's no such thing unfortunately.
It is remarkable to me how officials are able to commit these harms without suffering any repercussions. Of course, immunity provides cover for so-called official acts, however, when harm is so blatant, it’s rather astounding there are no carve outs in the law so that officials can be prosecuted. I’m not an attorney so I can’t suggest a strategy for holding them accountable, but this is a great time for an activist/crusader lawyer to go after wrongdoers and set a precedent.

I'm guessing the bees are just going in circles, steal from person A and sell to person B. Now person A needs bees, so steal from person C and sell to Person A, and it keeps going like that. The smaller and poorer beeks won't be able to afford to buy back their bees (or replacement bees), which will ultimately consolidate all the bees among a few wealthier groups. Once most bees are controlled by a few people/groups, they'll fund the infrastructure needed to keep the bees more secure.
Do users have a right to express themselves on a private platform? Private platforms aren’t a public forum.

Oh my, this has to be my favorite quote in a blog in a long long time.

"... many if not most of the problems don't go away if one isn't willing to constantly refactor their code and treat programming as a puzzle solving process, rather than just a tool to get things done."

I have thought it was just me for a long time, but many of the popular styles of programming that we push definitely seem to require constant refactors in the pursuit of a solution. And I definitely see more tire spinning for the sake of the build than I do for whatever it was folks were building.

Great quote.
Also C++ could be adopted incrementally by C developers. You could use it as “C with classes”, or just use operator overloading to make vector math more tolerable, or whatever subset that you happened to like.

So there’s really three forces at play in making C++ the standard:

1) The Microsoft ecosystem. They literally stopped supporting C by not adopting the C99 standard in their compiler. If you wanted any modern convenience, you had to compile in C++ mode. New APIs like Direct3D were theoretically accessible from C (via COM) but in practice designed for C++.

2) Better compilers and more CPU cycles to spare. You could actually count on the compiler to do the right thing often enough.

3) Seamless gradual adoption for C developers.

Rust has a good compiler, but it lacks that big ticket ecosystem push and is not entirely trivial for C++ developers to adopt.

These are criminal cases we are talking about. Cases that destroy lives when the prosecutors get it wrong. They damn well should be certain and they shouldn't be overcharging just to drain resources, as is clearly happening in this case.

If prosecutors aren't certain they can win on all 5 counts, bring 4. Or 3. Or even 1.

Most crimes should have pretty serious consequences. So convicting on one well-proven count should be enough.
Seems like a lot of guessing. I'm not convinced AI aren't "thinking" in the same manner we are. Eventually we'll have models trained on speech only, or modes of expression we can't fathom. Humans have no moat.
>I don't get it, what's the point of type checking if not to reject invalid programs?

Because not every program that doesn't compile is necessarily invalid.
I think whether you prefer Rust or a scripting language like Lua for high-level game logic comes down to what your needs are and personal preference. There are reasonable arguments on both sides.

Hi KP.org Team,

Just now, I logged into KP.org. Something was loading slowly, so I

> Covid ought to have been the final straw that brought all sides together to do something about drug companies.

If anything, Covid demonstrated the value of drug companies. What was the economic cost of Covid, just from the shutdowns, not including the deaths and disability? I am sure it ran into the trillions.

So the drug companies made $100 billion dollars while producing an economic surplus of trillions? Sounds like a great deal to me.

I want developing new drugs to be insanely profitable. I want the smartest people to go into finding new cures for diseases instead of into thinking about how to drive "engagement" to maximize ad revenue, or playing financial games on Wall Street.

What were the revenues of Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft during Covid?
Nice. Now the only thing we need is JS to switch to UTF-8. But of course JS can't improve, because unlike any other programming language, we need to be compatible with code written in 1995.
Sicily is fertile, but for example much of Calabria is very much not - too rocky/mountainous. The issue is not that there's no fertile land, but the fertile land relative to the population is not a lot in terms of just sustaining the South subsisting on its own, and it certainly doesn't have enough extra fertile land to develop as much agricultural export from the region as the north has.

And it's gotten much much worse in recent years with climate change the heat and drought is getting very serious in the south.

Our GCP prod is running google's container optimized os [1], something relatively current? But the container we run our app in is debian something, and my dev environment matches that... But when I go to prod, I don't go into the container, because a) I don't really understand how? b) I don't need to anyway; I can do almost all the stuff that needs doing without getting a shell into the container.

The real problem is that ifconfig can do the job, but nobody wanted to modify it, so they built a new tool, but both tools still work, and nobody is going to cleanse the world of ifconfig. Same deal for netstat vs ss. ss does the same job as netstat, but supposedly faster or better? but they could have made netstat better and didn't. In the meantime, causing churn and leaving a wake of broken documentation and frustrated users.

I didn't pick the environment, it was there, and I don't have enough authority to change the environment that much, I'm just working part time, and I want to get in, do my work, and get out. It sucks having to use two different tools for the same thing, all over the place. If I had an open offer to come work part time with a former boss at a place running FreeBSD and Erlang, I'd have taken it, but I got Linux and Rust instead, so I'm dealing with it :P

Of course, FreeBSD isn't perfect either. I've just updated a machine to FreeBSD 14, to find that I can no longer use the command

ifconfig pfsync vlandev main vlan 4 192.168.4.11/24

because I get an error

ifconfig: both vlan and vlandev must be specified

Instead, I've got to put the vlan number first. So I've got that to chase down, and freebsd-update was also very slow, so I've got that to chase down too.

The claims in https://scala-open-letter.github.io/ are that the signers "have become aware" "based on multiple, independent, well-substantiated reports showing a systematic pattern of behavior over an extended period" of harrassment, and links those very multiple, independent reports (of which the second is indeed a substantiation of the first).

It's hard to see how any of this is false under the US standards. In the UK, though... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_defamation_law

> everyone involved in the dissemination of the defamation is liable as having published it

(That wouldn't fly here; retweeting a false claim, barring unusual circumstances, tends not to be actionable.)

The actual allegations weren't litigated in this case, it's a settlement, and I don't doubt it made more sense to say "sorry" and pay £5k/person than to spend years in court litigating a crime that is typically done in a way that leaves little physical evidence that someone else asserted happened.

Fewer drugs developed.
I'd be eager to learn more, but it seems that they have only published the topline figures [1] and some of their methodology [2]. Details will follow in a journal.

Perhaps worth noting that development cost account for more than the phase 2-3 studies and that cost are lower for combinations of known drugs. But yes, 34 million is a lot less than 3 billion.

> *Total costs were €33.9 million. While the topline results were presented at the WHO PPRI conference, the full detailed costs of the clinical trial have been submitted for a peer-review publication to a journal. In the full publication, the costs are broken down into 27 cost categories, by year, and by trial site, in order to offer a high level of transparency.

> US or EU?

I'm a bystander, but the gist I got from the official lists and trials is that each EU country needs it's own approval with the gov agency. It may be that "being EU" has equalized requirements to an extent, but each wants their own. (bureaucracy kills?)

One example I read about was a yet experimental drug made by a Swiss company, but the trials only run in and for the US for financial and market reasons.
I am suggesting public defenders. I'm suggesting we expand that to everyone who is charged. Because in the current system, legal bills tend to ruin people who get declared innocent and provide enormous incentives to plea to crimes people did not commit.

"NOON-state interference in the frequency domain" (2024)
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41377-024-01439-9 :

> [...] In this paper, we demonstrate the photon number path entanglement in the frequency domain by implementing a frequency beam splitter that converts the single-photon frequency to another with 50% probability using Bragg scattering four-wave mixing. The two-photon NOON state in a single-mode fiber is generated in the frequency domain, manifesting the two-photon interference with two-fold enhanced resolution compared to that of single-photon interference, showing the outstanding stability of the interferometer. This successful translation of quantum states in the frequency domain will pave the way toward the discovery of fascinating quantum phenomena and scalable quantum information processing.

> These EVa are just not replacements for ICE.*

You need the asterisk there and an explanation that says "for my use".

There are clear and gaping holes in the EV line, mostly for American use-cases where people "need" a F250 crew cab as a commuter and their electric grid will crap out if you plug in too many Christmas lights. And America also has an abundance of people who regularly (As in daily or weekly) commute/travel distances that would take one across 1-3 countries in Europe.

On this side of the big wet bit, there are far fewer holes, but they do exist. There's an abundance of compacts, sedans and normal-sized SUVs - all of which are perfectly enough for day to day use.

Mine does 200-250km comfortably during the warmer months and 150km-ish when it's -20C. The last time I plugged in to a charger other than the one at my house or my parent's was last September when we did a longer road trip as a family and I wasn't sure about the destination hotel's charging situation.

If I need to haul insane loads, I can hire a massive van for 10€/hour. Or I can just pay to have stuff delivered.
How does it affect an American in everyday life? I've never known anything but net neutrality in Europe.

This is essentially true. Pharma is incredibly expensive (for lots of different reasons), with R&D taking up a huge portion of those costs.

So yes, it's safe to assume that part of the accounting around those published costs in the billions are all of the failed candidates that never even made it to trials (the failure rate varies depending on the area of biology and the type of drug, but it's generally around 9 out of every 10 candidates [1]. By the time you get to trials, that ratio gets even more abysmal).

> major weakness is that it makes everythign unergonomic in order to make macros very ergonomic.

Generally Lisp has two main goals:

* allow code to be data and data to be code

* make coding and coding code (let code manipulate code) interactive

The s-expression based syntax was found to be useful for both. For the latter it means that code can be manipulated interactively for example by structure editors or in read-eval-print-loops which work with data. That makes interactive code writing very ergonomic.

Very similar story. Never managed to memorize multiplication table. Can do it, but it vanishes. By that I mean the "tricky" pairs but I don't know what is tricky about them. Been programming computers for close to 30 years, do lots of math but multiplication table is still tricky to me.
