These all largely bullshit IMO.

The best recommendations are from humans who love music and you also share their taste in music.

Once every few years an amazing recommendation bubbles to the surface on Youtube for me but compared to a music lover's top 100 for a certain year? It isn't even close.

There is no reason you need algorithmic efficiency in this domain. 1000 recommendations might even be objectively less enjoyable than 10 recommendations since it will cause you to not explore any single recommendation all that much. Most of my favorite albums were not 1st listen instant favorites. Actually, quite the opposite.

A great album to me is also going to be out of sample and not in the training data of what I have liked in the past. That is a large part of its greatness.

I'm afraid to touch C++. It's so complex. And I'm speaking as a person who wrote C++ for money 15 years ago. Can't imagine how much one would need to learn modern C++ from zero today.

Rust is absolutely accessible, IMO. Not the easiest language, for sure, but you can learn it in a reasonable timeframe.

>new alternative social media platforms emerged and presented themselves as protectors of freedom expression.

some entity more powerful then google, apple, and amazon combined was able to dictate actions these 3 were to take near immediately. Which they did do.

This on its own indicates the need to decentralize social media.

>In this way, scientific experts struggled to maintain their previously unchallenged authority due to differing opinions and inefficient communication.

Previously unchallenged authority? Yes well we saw the censorship of anyone who challenged this authority.

Lets discuss the real problem here. Some entity played their hand too hard, the narrative has now been lost and this is why reddit and others are suddenly working so hard at 'reintegrating' viewpoints. It's so decentralized that limited resources of public health can't possibly maintain their unchallenged authority. worse yet, quite a large portion of public health initiatives depend upon this existing.
"Cannot" implies features that C++ has that Rust cannot offer. The article merely lists improvements to (modern) C++ that also solve issues within C++, that rust solved.

There may very well be things in C++ that rust cannot do, but the article doesn't go into them. As such, the title is not covering the content at all. And the tone of the article sounds very much like someone who is personally affronted by rust somehow.

> So, thank you, Rust, for providing such valuable insights. Now, you can take your leave.

I've fallen into this trap too often myself too, but if I feel personally attacked when someone really attacks technology that I "merely" use, it's a clear sign I'm far too much invested in what should really be "just some tools".

When you look at the other "C++ vs Rust" article on the site (about thread priorities) it becomes pretty clear that the author doesn't have much programming knowledge, let alone knowledge of C++ or Rust. I actually wonder if this is some sort of Turing Test experiment.
Would GDPR mitigate the need to pay?
I'm not a big fan of all the complexity of Rust (often just to be different), but this is pure flame-bait.

I'm also not a fan of all the design decisions in Carbon/Cpp2, but progress is being made since paradigms keep evolving.

Memory safety and unique ownership being built into the language seems to be inevitably required in anything that will be used in the future, and honestly I don't think we've reached a stable point yet with anything we have.

If your language only supports adding more complexity and never simplifies syntax, it's inevitably going to be replaced. The same thing will happen with Rust in 20 years, it's just how things go.
I guess that would be "You're holding it wrong"

This is a bit of a tangent but your expertise makes you the best person to ask, so I'll give it a try:

The OP talks about aesthetic curves, but most comments are about continuity and smoothness. Intuitively that makes sense. Do you happen to know if there is any serious research that looked into which 2D curve properties do people find aesthetically pleasing?
A bad one after all. There is no way to deny.
But when do you really need a structure that has this exceptional strength on the happy path, but would still be good enough in terms of safety when pressure is lost?

Unmanned aviation comes to mind, but the ratio between structural mass and battery+payload is already so low, even a zero-mass structure would not make a meaningful performance difference. It's all about the battery tech.

Scaling up foil boating perhaps? Carbon fiber construction would certainly appear like a good candidate for taking advantage of being pressurized, and I perhaps naively take it as a given that materials is the major limiting factor in scaling up.

Replace woodworking with "any hobby you want to pursue".

I find that a lot of people go to work thinking they enjoy it, and wake up later and realize it is just "work". This leads them to go off and figure out what they really enjoy, and they start doing that (they call it a hobby). Some of them ruin their hobby, by turning it into a full time job, where once again, it just becomes "work".

The resources going into carbon capture aren't the same resources going into renewable? The scale is also completely different.

Bloomberg says global investment in carbon capture in 2022 was like $6.4 billion (https://about.bnef.com/blog/carbon-capture-investment-hits-r...).

Bloomberg also says that global renewable investment in the first 6 months of 2023 was $358 billion (https://about.bnef.com/blog/renewable-energy-investment-hits...)

Conversion of all carbon capture investment into more solar or wind capacity would not significantly move the needle on rate of renewable growth.

Effectively all carbon capture investment right now is basically in the pilot phase. Governments are sinking money into carbon capture for a broad range of reasons, including cynical (as a smokescreen to protect fossil fuel industries) to optimistic (we can start investing in the next step of net-zero since renewable trajectories look good) to being realistic hedges (they see the challenges in achieving net zero in certain fields like aviation, shipping, construction, and believe that carbon capture is what is necessary to achieve net-zero).

> Programming is fun, that is why you started doing it.

For some. I certainly started that way. But many of my friends at Uni started from a different point. I heard many describing how they choose computer engineering because it is perceived as a good career or because they heard it pays a lot. I'm not sure if those people have the same "Programming is fun, that is why you started doing it." to fall back to.

It's hard to do worse than human drivers on that front. Especially under the circumstances you mention.
I wonder if this is more practical nowadays. Modern “drop stitch” inflatable kayaks and paddle boards are extremely rigid, strong, light, and reliable. They also have precise 3D shapes determined by the length and position of the internal drop stitch threads. Has anyone tried using that tech to create an inflatable airplane?
yes

This is a sever breach of GDPR, so is their practice to use the information you give them when ordering for other things then processing your order without an explicit non required opt-in on your part.

Furthermore in the past when GDPR was new, judges where often quite lenient when it came to enforcement of first offenders but that is increasingly less the case. And which such bland consumer abusive business practices they might be in for a really bad awakening (if they sell to the EU).

Additionally given all that I wouldn't be surprised if their website is also committing GDPR violations.

Also even if they have free GDPR deletion "hidden somewhere" that still would be a violation of GDPR as it has been clarified by judges in other cases (related to information requests instead of deletion).

There is one common pattern which is required in many use cases when working and representing ASTs - having a `parent` node, or having access to parents and children. This complicates ownership implementation.

Additonally, is essential to provide an API to transform trees or even construct new ones using immutable ASTs like implemented in many compilers eg .NET Roslin or typescript TSC.
It's not a bot but formatters like prettier for example make it very easy to set them up as git-hooks, where the formatter is applied on commit. Meaning, unless you specifically commit without hooks, all committed code should comply with the formatter.

For linting (e.g. eslint in the JS-space), this is also possible, however, most linting-processes tend to run just long enough to be annoying when run on every commit. In the monorepo I work on we created a command "prep-pr" which specifically addresses this issue - run it before creating a PR, and the CI-pipeline will mostly be green, at least in terms of linting/unit-testing.
When I was at Amazon, I read the SDE guidelines from HR, where they describe their view of the role.

An SDE1 was expect to spend 4hr coding a day; an SDE3 about 2.5hr coding a day.

That’s normal for a job, eg, apartment maintenance (my college job) would have us actually wokring about 4 hours a day, between setup, cleanup, breaks, travel, miscellaneous tasks, etc.

Convincing other SDEs to assign points to stories based on that (4hrs of coding per point) was surprisingly hard.

If it's not possible to ethically deliver content on an ad-supported basis, then maybe we shouldn't allow it to exist, instead of excusing immoral thinks because "that's the only way to do it".

>If the viewer should screen out the advertisements, they are getting the benefits of programming while depriving the network of the benefits it hoped to realize by providing the content.

I find this idea disgusting. There are many kinds of contracts we don't allow - for example you can't sell yourself into slavery, even if you want to. Similarly I think that the "contract" you describe should not be allowed to exist, even assuming it's legally binding right now (and I doubt it).

>Everybody seems to understand this except for tech nerds

In my experience it's the other way around - everybody disagrees, except a tiny minority of people who benefit from the ad-supported monopoles.

No one said other countries don't have problems with their healthcare, what has been said and is demonstrated with ample data is they're getting far better health outcomes for far less money.

The 2nd half of Adam Smith's book was a treatise in all the different ways markets would fail. Adam Smith identified so many failure modes that the Founders thought Capitalism would never work (regardless of what the history revisionists now say). Healthcare is one of those verticals for which markets demonstrably don't work.
I am also a very avid C++ avoider but if I am in a meeting with this author and they tell me we need to use C++ for something, I'll take it.

Because I trust pain more than smarts. And I do agree that we are coming to a point there will be a better compiled language. Rust actually broke the untouchable status of C/C++. In my opinion the final popularity blow will come from something else. I wish I knew what it was.

That is precisely what a stock buyback is. They could invest that cash on the open market, or return it to investors through dividends. Instead this sends it to the common pool to fund current business operations.
