Web frameworks barely even abstract much. You still spend so much time marshaling things in and out of strings everywhere, and cramming information into URLs.

Mind-numbing makework, really.
I don't think the right person is asking the question. Your parents are the ones who created that DNA, and thus they hold all rights to it. /s
I understood it as they're working to abstract as much as is generally and widely possible in the VFS layer, but there will still be (many?) edge cases that don't fit and will need to be handled in FS-specific layers. Perhaps the inode lifecycle was just an initial starting point for discussion?
As nothing is unhackable, that is a false dicotomy.

No, they are very tailored to that use case. They arent general languages - but they are still probably the best examples of successful visual programming languages.
"The Appointments Clause sets as a default rule that all “Officers of the United States”—whether “inferior” or “principal”—must be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Id. It then goes on to direct that “Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in Heads of Departments.”"

It would apply to all special counsels unless confirmed by the Senate (or congress passes a law allowing the Attorney General to appoint special counsel)
Of course not - congress has passed a law creating the DoJ, etc.

That is not what is going on here.

An attorney has been appointed with extraordinary powers to a position that is not created as part of the DoJ. It hasn't been authorized by any law.
You're missing the most basic utility they provide... that of making sure other code is calling the function with the right types of arguments. That's a lot of coverage over a language without a compile type checked type system.

People are replying that NATS isn't the same as ZeroMQ. But, I think the missing piece here is that most people who are looking at ZeroMQ really just want something like NATS. There is a decent amount of effort required to make ZeroMQ work. Whereas, NATS just does the thing you wanted in the first place without all that effort.
I pointed that out because your previous comment could be misinterpreted to mean you do full type checking on your dev cycle, which you probably don't.
If you look at China, it appears that young men there need to make exceptionally large and expensive sacrifices, like borrowing money and buying an expensive apartment, just to be allowed into the dating pool. Does that equalise the total investment into conceiving a baby? Is China better off with birth rates as the result?

"women disproportionately bear the cost of child-rearing" is very difficult to measure objectively.
I don't see what ZMQ abstracts that you don't get in TCP already.

Yeah. My job at the time was in the fidi and we had power trucks lining the streets for months. I saw the cars floating upside down with my own eyes. It was quite a time. Anyway:

That is not the comeback you think it is. New York was unprepared for that and intra not designed for saltwater flooding because nobody had ever expected that kind of weather to make it up here.

Also I never heard the term SoPO before. We called it hurricane sandy.
There are solvent extracts and there are CO2 extracts. State testing regulations in other states tests for solvents: the -anes; propane, butane, hexane,.

Some fire extinguishers are tanks of CO2.

Compared to a double-boiler reduction with flammable alcohol and oil on a stove,
quality-controlled extracts are in the interest of public safety.

There are much safer desktop infusion units with electronic temperature control, and then an ISO factory might have more consistent doses than sketch gummies.

I don't think the sky is falling due to the lesser-regulated hemp consumable products. Quality control and banking would probably further reduce the cost to society.

If the 'sin tax' on recreational isn't enough, then raise it to pay for substance abuse treatment and prevention.

Practically, retail strain availability differs in states with only Farm Bill hemp products, in that the strains being selected for by the regulation don't have same or sufficient levels of the unscheduled cannabinoids which may also be as or more therapeutic than the terpene essential oils in fresh flower without preservative.
This is kinda why I really, really dislike the "social coding" meme that went around in the 2010s.

I get it, it's a team sport. It's just that the more people you put on your "team" the less agency everyone feels because responsibility gets diffused and it becomes more about about the "team" and less about actually doing the thing.

To be honest, I haven't found the community size to be an issue. The Nim forum[0] has a vibrant community, and is the place I go to for help, and the response is usually quick and on point. The language is also evolving in a careful manner, with Araq at the helm I think it's going to be even better in the long term.

As for the ecosystem, yes, it's not as big as Python or Rust, but surprisingly the standard library has most of what people need. I rarely look for 3rd party packages to do something.

That being said, I acknowledge that Nim is on the lesser known languages of the spectrum, but that doesn't take away from its merits as a very promising language that does what it's supposed to do very well.

One thing I think the community should focus on more is IDE support. The VSCode extension is good, but has some rough edges. I also prefer JetBrains IDEs, and the official Nim plugin is very lacking to say the least. I have another side project to create a JetBrains plugin for Nim[1], but I haven't gone far with it yet.

I always find these articles about highly visual subjects that don't show any images to be a little bit under-researched. The Maya language and numeral system is fascinating in part because of its visual beauty. Maya text and design elements are widely incorporated into architecture and media in the region, even today.

This article showed us none of that. Not even a single image of a zero.
I went into the article expecting the standard criticism of any and all things C: stupid people can do stupid things with them, so nobody should be allowed to use them. He instead pointed out some legitimate gotchas with malloc and free and offered a reasonable solution.

No argument. Incentives matter. There's one company I looked at for a modest investment and I was like "This is the only company in the world that can do something that is obviously needed in semiconductors but has long cycles" and it stagnated for a year or two. (And then went up considerably.)

As a financial analyst I might very well have logically held off for a bit.
Tests for me also help me write better code. When writing tests, I'm forced to switch from "how do I implement the behavior I want" to "how can this fail to do the right thing". Looking at the code from _both_ of those mindsets helps me end up with better code.

Time and wisdom.

I think most devs can delay burnout/leaving the field if they begin viewing programming as a means to an end, e.g. "programming as a way to build their own business," or "using programming knowledge to mentor others," or "using programming knowledge in another domain they're interested in to great effect."
Thanks for eloquently responding to the GP comment... My own thoughts have been with Microsoft, Apple, Mozilla and Amazon actively backing Rust, it is definitely not something that will just go away.

Personally, I've only done surface level things (API middle tier dev) with a few different Rust frameworks (Axum, etc) and it's been relatively nice for the level of performance and low overhead compared to Node, C# and others. And what lower level code I've read has been particularly pleasant to come to understand.

While doing something like a global cache in Rust feels awkward as all hell, many other patterns just feel really nice to use. I like the semantics of the language itself. I do hope that certain enterprise patterns typical in Java and the C# communities don't come into play in Rust though.
Their hot reload cycle is fast because esbuild doesn't type check the code, it just removes types from Typescript so it turns into JS (it may do minification and tree shaking but in dev, they probably remove that). I've written some esbuild plugins and can confirm that on incremental builds, esbuild will probably never take more than a few ms even on larger projects (because it doesn't matter how big your project is, esbuild will only rebuild what changed, which usually is a few files only).

> like this one, only ever works with ASCII, no attempt whatsoever to handle UTF-8

I mean if your viewpoint is to handle heavy UIs then yes maybe C is not your go-to language. However, there are other solutions to the character space problem besides UTF-8. Rather than complaining that your screwdriver can't bang nails, perhaps try using a screw?

No, you won't be able to support a language like chinese within a 256 bit charset, but perhaps it's not important to in all situations. The strength of ascii is that its small, simple. If that's too anglo-centric for you, maybe there's a better symbolic tiny charset that is more applicable. I'd support something like https://lojban.io/ becoming more prevalent, but there could be advantages to having a simple(r) symbolic transmission language not burdened with anglo-centric concepts.
I'd 90% agree with this, except that NATS does have an embedded mode.[0] That plus the clustering, gateway, and leaf-node features gets it very close to what ZeroMQ is doing, though at a much higher complexity level that's maybe unnecessary depending on what you're doing. Embedding is exclusive to Go programs, so that's very limited compared to ZeroMQ.

Latest news is that a local cop climbed up the ladder and saw him, he pointed his rifle at the cop, cop climbed back down, and he immediately pointed his rifle back at the at stage and started shooting at Trump. So he would've been panicking when he was shooting.
I think if you look more deeply at the history of special counsels, you will see that this issue has been raised before and dealt with differently in different cases.

Besides which, a litigant would need to raise this issue in court for it to be litigated.

I did not get that feeling from the article.
You could have just said it rather than going through this smug "I know something you don't know!" song and dance.

Also, by this rationale, NO string is ever safe in C, because pretty much every encoding technically supports codepoint 0 (even though you take your life into your hands should you ever use it). This is not a useful discussion.

What powers does a Special Counsel have that any DoJ prosecutor doesn’t that injure the defendant?

The defining characteristic of a special prosecutor is they can’t be fired—that injures the President and AG.

Optimizing Distributed Practice: Theoretical Analysis and Practical Implications
I agree entirely here.

The autosummarization of unopened documents is closer to the image search functionality I mentioned above than it is to a spell checker running on an open doc. Both autosummarization and image search are content retrieval mechanisms. The difference is only in how its presented. Does it just point you to your file, or does it process it further for you? The privacy aspects are equivalent IMO. The only difference is in whether the feature is useful and well received.
Yeah, the Rust proponents are being significantly more ambitious. Not just the ability to code a file system in Rust, but do it in a way that catches a lot of the correctness issues relating to the complex (and changing) semantics of FS development.
Original blog post: https://op-co.de/blog/posts/samsung_nx_mastodon/
Something that might be worth pondering is: When was that ever not the case? Are we seriously saying that in the 1800s those poor desperate people who had 12 kids and put most of them (the ones that even survived!) to work in mines and farms, were in a better situation?

The discussion around cost is a red herring. If it really was about cost, we'd be seeing the upper middle class having children by the ton. Most of us here on HN would have 10 children each, because cost definitely isn't an issue for any well-paid software engineer or startup founder.

I definitely think that you are right - this is definitely going to be a major crisis in the next few decades, and there needs to be a serious course correction, and -major- incentives for having kids.

But I don't think it comes down to cost, for the most part. I think there are a number of other factors, but cost just ends up being a nice easy scapegoat because it sounds completely reasonable. Nobody can argue with it, not even oneself.
I never quite understood the security theater thing. Isn’t the fact that at each airport , you will be scanned and possibly frisked a deterrent and you can’t measure what dissent occur so the only way to know if it works is observe a timeline where it doesn’t exist?
Honest question as a java lover-- do rust and TS have slow compile times or something?

Because java has a robust type system and yet I've never had any issue with it's compile times. And the parsing in the IDEs is so fast and good I can pretty much get all the feedback in real time.

Ah, that's the luxury of using a battle tested language that other people have invested billions of dollars of effort into optimizing.

Do you guys not have that in Rust and TS? Bummer man. Hope you get there someday. This is exactly why I abandoned scala btw.
> But you can't do everything that C does without using unsafe blocks. Rust can offer a fresh perspective to these problems, but it's not a complete solution.

It's true that you need to have unsafe code to do low level things. But it's a misconception that if you have to use unsafe then Rust isn't a good fit. The point of the safe/unsafe dichotomy in Rust is to clearly mark which bits of the code are unsafe, so that you can focus all your attention on auditing those small pieces and have confidence that everything else will work if you get those bits right.

I seriously doubt it's meant as an insult so much as to minimize near term impact in case there are (and likely will be) mistakes to the larger ecosystem. Creating clearer separations for where Rust can make more sense initially is important. Not just for Rust, but C/C++ and other future languages all around.

The file system is an area where Rust can make a lot of sense, similar for network drivers. Points of interaction with underlying hardware and external systems where well defined controls are all the more important and widely interacted with.

I would be surprised, if within a decade a lot of the use of OpenSSL isn't displaced with rustls across a lot of applications even if not written in Rust directly.
