Borrow checking makes the type system actually work, so this matters everywhere. Take Rust's Mutex<T>. You can (and people do) make such a type in C++. But in C++ the type's key feature - that you can't "forget" to take locks and release them - is destroyed by the lack of type safety, they have to ask you to please be careful not to break it, whereas in safe Rust you can't break it.

Google has an analogue of OwnedFd for C++ and again the language doesn't preserve type safety so they need to nag you to please not do all the so-easy things which will destroy type safety and make the type worthless. OwnedFd doesn't need to remind you about that.

Neither C nor C++ have niches, and so when they do attempt a Maybe type - which is very useful in system programming in my experience - it's significantly heavier than the integer handles programmers were used to instead, and of course this means people won't use it in these applications. Rust's Option<OwnedFd> is the same representation (a 4 byte integer type) as the C integer you'd have used, but with the same ergonomics as any other Maybe type, leading to improved safety despite same performance.

Also, I'd say the characteristic difference isn't technology like the borrow checker, but Rust's Culture, the technology is just enabling that culture.

I thought it was because every string operation had to be copied into WASM memory and then back into JS when the result was computed. Am I wrong? Am I misunderstanding the context? Genuinely curious!

We're living in the tyranny of the docile. Enough people consider "Amazon" synonymous with "shopping" and it's given them enough power to get away with whatever. Especially since covid, people have been trained to sit at home all day.
We used to think that "early and controlled exposure is preferable to a first case later in life" for chicken pox, but AFAICT that's no longer widely accepted in most western countries. Chicken pox in children can lead to serious complications in some cases, including bacterial skin infections, pneumonia, and encephalitis. The virus remains dormant in the body and can reactivate later in life as shingles. Now that there's an effective 2-shot vaccine, that's the recommended approach.

Dude yes exactly!!

It's so incredibly frustrating when you're past final assembly of some system, and only then do you see a defect that requires a teardown! You touched upon a really fun piece of defect detection -- quality metrics are highly dependent upon the customer, but that makes it fun for us

Great paper links too, I really appreciate that! My French is a little rusty, but I love the comic at the start!!
Have you tried taking an anti-acid or acids reducer?

I was getting a rough depression after eating certain foods. My/my doctors current hypothesis is my liver was producing too much bile acid and triggering a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This would basically wipe my gut out. I couldn’t absorb nutrients correctly so my mood and energy levels would drop.

I now know it lasts a few days if I goof up my diet, but it use to appear chronic since I was basically triggering it daily.
> If you really must binge on the junk food

This is inaccurate - the other day I wanted to get some cookies for a child - label said sugar content was like 25%, that's insane. I have baked cookies myself, you don't need that much sugar to get decent tasting cookies, they are not suppose to be junk food. it's everywhere, not just chocolates, even in bread.

It better be a malevolent conspiracy, because if not, then it's suicidal stupidity of our species.

Dragon has a more integrated design. It has a "trunk module" which is a kind of service module lite.

So presumably, Dragon is not completely reusable (the trunk is discarded), but more reusable than Starliner in that greater functionality is preserved in the reusable capsule.

Today Notion is a last-write-wins system with limited intention-preserving operations for list data (like block ordering). Text is last-write-wins, each block text or property is a last-write-wins register. We're working on a new CRDT format for block text.

When things are repeated often enough with a certain slant (e.g. "Facebook is ..." rather than "Canadian news companies via the Canadian government are ..."), it affects both people's thinking on an issue and what people less connected to the issue are aware of.
Who else founded 3 fortune 500 companies?
I don't think anyone beyond extreme outliers is 'against private housing,' and disadvantaged minorities themselves want police protection in their own communities. What they don't want, and what nobody wants, is bad policing. So if you build mixed income public housing and do policing right, it just might work. We should try it.
My disdain primarily comes from going out of your way to snitch on someone, regardless of why.

But in general I'm not upset with cheaters anyway. People are always going to push boundaries. It's a fact of life.

I also believe that most cheats, at least the more invasive ones, are only possible because the game was poorly designed, without cheating in mind. Instead most game companies seem to just slap a commercial anticheat product on top and hope for the best.
> Section 9 “Authorization” of the June 2021 EULA disproves that claim.

Yes, that binds the user to authorize their copy. The company must therefore provide the means for them to authorize.

As for the legality, this is pretty contentious issue in many countries which is why we are having this discussion rather than it simply being an open and shut case. A fair amount of this Wikipedia article is dedicated to this subject:

I learned a few months ago showering in lightning is dangerous.
IIRC Overwatch's anti-cheat is also entirely user-space and server-side, and I encounter relativly few cheaters in Master to GM lobbies. Not to say there aren't any (there most certainly are), but there are so few that are noticable that it honestly is negligible IMO.
The one exception being security cameras.
I wonder if a statistics-based cheating detection system could work in more of the esports style games? Chess.com seems to have a pretty good method to detect cheaters based on analysis of post-game data: https://www.chess.com/article/view/chess-com-fair-play-and-c...

Even in something like an FPS, if player movements or action patterns could be compared to normal patterns, it would be incredibly obvious who is cheating regardless of HOW the player managed to cheat.

Even something as elaborate as a full AI-powered robot that physically hit the keys could be detected when it made a move that was not within the patterns of human players.

Of course, the cat and mouse game then becomes more about the cheat algorithms learning to act more human to avoid detection, but they have a long way to go. Plus, each time they have to adjust and become more human, the less and less of an advantage the cheater has!

Had a friend of my SO (we're both Italian) visit us for some days, she's Canadian in her 60s and she talked so much about US politics.

I don't find talking politics much polite, especially because I believe you should first be politically active, with practical things, in your neighborhood and city first and worry about local problems that impact directly your life and those of your family.

Then make the scope larger.

But talking about politics of another country?

I have my personal opinion that the death of newspapers, which were generally local in favor of internet media, which tends to talk about topics with the highest reach completely inverted the political priorities around the world.

I swear in Italy more people can argue more about US politicians agendas and programs but can't name their mayor.

Some people argue that the decisions taken at federal, global level matter more, yet many are unaware that the beautiful house they bought for the view is being discussed to be sold by the city to build houses or a waste dump or many other things that impact your life directly and on which you have yourself more impact than following a US presidential election. And I have endless examples, because in a small village like mine, with 4000 souls, most decisions impact your life. Waste management, funding for the school buses for kids, safety on local roads, etc. This is literally your every day life.

But what people arguing? Whether AOC is too extreme or anti capitalist?

It's all backwards. I find it sick.

I really wish someone would make a git-like tool on top of CRDTs. I want conflicts when merging commits like git does, but I also want the crdt features - like better cherry-picking and cleaner merging when merging several branches together. And of course, live pair programming.

CRDTs store a superset of the information git stores - so we should be able to use that information to emit git style conflicts when we want. But I think nobody has implemented that yet. (Pijul probably comes closest.)
eh, the internet also provides plenty of ways to split off into subcultures. maybe the subcultures cut across traditional nationalities but they're still there.
You can't just say that without explaining why.

I live on the 8/10 floor of a building that gets yearly lightning rod inspections. All piping has been replaced with polypropylene (clean water) or PVC (dirty) and even when it was metal, the electrical and water systems were far apart from one another. Even if they were not far apart, all wiring is underground. The transformer is inside a nearby building and also has lightning rods/wires and all wiring to and from it is underground. There is literally no scenario apart from ball lightning coming through my bathroom window while I shower that I can think of

As I understood it the reason why some parasites can have beneficial impact on some autoimmune disorders is because they have evolved the ability to suppress the immune system, not because they overwork the immune system. But I've really only heard of this being a thing with IBS.
It's not.

Taxing unrealized capital gains is just going to give these people more loopholes to play with.

But "tax the rich" seems to be the zeitgeist for whatever reason.
I will step a bit to the side of "censorship" and just talk about "misinformation."

The trouble with labeling something "misinformation" is that you also need to be one hundred percent right, forever or you need to be ready to make prominent retractions and groveling mea culpas. With this is mind, one ought to tread lightly on topics such as fast-moving science (especially the softer ones) and matters of policy recommendations. COVID was both of these. Yes, masks! No, don't use masks! Yes, masks. Yes, masks, haha you caught us we just didn't want you to buy up all of the masks. Yes, masks, but they really only prevent you from giving the virus to others.

My undergraduate was in the harder sciences, so it is not like I am some anti-science loon. I just think that acting with Total Certainty and If You Don't Agree You Are Killing People, on certain classes of topic, is a recipe for eventually being as believable as the numerous food pyramids which, once taken as gospel, now are simply shrugged aside.

> Capitalism doesn't work if you don't let companies that aren't delivering fail.

This argument only works in competitive markets. This market is more or less a natural monopoly due to the massive upfront R&D investment and learning-by-doing requirements. NASA has to constantly wrestle with this 'force' in order to keep it an oligopoly.

If it fails to do so, it should stop the experiment and go back to in-housing everything. Only with an oligopoly (or better) does the American public benefit at all from privatization.
Deployment was quite complex for the target audience, due to requiring mutual TLS and thereby requiring the management of self signed key infra or a commercial TLS cert.
Thanks for the feedback.

This is definitely an area we can improve, but we have a novel framework for testing and maintaining robustness. We use an LLM based testing loop to verify steps in the state machine, which is a chat interface that generates the agent from end-to-end then outputs a no-code graph. This testing loop allows soon support uploading loom videos to generate automations without installing things locally.

All agents have an API which directly returns results in a JSON, including the results of this testing loop. Check this image for an example: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1068385542875664424/1...

We also introduce a new robust future-proof targeting strategy that still works when services changes designs, because semantic targets like "Post button" will still work if the button changes colors or moves across this screen. This is a test that fails all current RPA tools including UIpath, so we have multiple paths to improve on the previous incumbents if we consider all the tools we have today with reasoning models.

Refactoring tooling is unmatched.
Not really. VS Code does have some performance optimizations where even the web browser optimization wouldn't suffice, for example it implements its own scroll bar instead of using the web native scroll bar. But for the most part the browser render optimizations is the crucial factor. After years of optimization you can't easily beat a web browser.

Native app is just another set of layers of abstractions. As a comparison, SwiftUI doesn't render 500 items quickly enough (https://www.reddit.com/r/swift/comments/18dlgv0/improving_pe...), which is a tiny number for web.

>weird hatred for communism and socialism

Communist and socialist (by name) regimes in South America have caused more trouble for their own citizens than any leftist (by name) regime has caused for the world of capital. I don't think those posters necessarily absorbed that opinion from the US, in fact I think the US absorbed a lot of its own anticommunism from refugees. Historically it has been the business community advocating for détente and trade.
Wow, this is wild! Maintaining perfect justification solely through word choice is... quite a writing constraint, lol. I don't think I've seen this done before.

The first order effects may be extremely positive, but what about the second and third order effects?
I worked on this at Google. The modern Android app publishing format is designed entirely around being able to slice and dice apps so that users have the minimum downloaded and installed at any point.

Resources, architectures, languages, are only downloaded as needed, but it also gets further into a few domain specific things such as game asset texture compression formats[0], so not only do phones only get the textures they need, but developers can publish in multiple formats so that users can get the best option their device supports.

There's also on-demand code module downloading and installing too. This means you can, for example, pull your registration process out into a separate module, install it at the beginning, but then offload it after the user has registered, reducing the installed size (and reducing the chance your app gets uninstalled for taking up too much space). One developer has a multi-megabyte VOIP module for customer support, but doesn't actually download and install it until a user opens the support screen in the app, which means most users never have it installed.
