I've joined some large EU efforts in the past, and it's always like this. Lots of different parties involved focused on producing tons of absurd documents, and nothing else. Some have good intentions, but it doesn't matter. There's a great thread on X now discussing the same topic:

"25 years ago each major US company had a German and/or French equivalent. Today equivalents of US tech giants are in China and Europe is on its way to become an open-air museum. What happened?" https://x.com/MichaelAArouet/status/1827588190342979934

Some of the top replies:

"Bureaucracy, Regulation, Aversion to Innovation, Green myth of degrowth etc happened"

[...] Europe’s challenges are significant, but not insurmountable. To regain its edge, Europe will need to foster a more dynamic business environment, streamline regulations, and encourage risk-taking in its startup culture. Without these changes, Europe may continue to fall behind, watching as the U.S. and China shape the future of technology.

The EU has a lot of talent, but it lacks good leadership and good priorities.

My company HQ is in SF still, not sure how much longer. I get to visit downtown fairly frequently. SF is so bad today that people just leave their car windows open lest some thief accidently believe they had the audacity to lock their cars. Many major retailers that I was used to seeing downtown have left. The criminals and homeless run the show in SF. Really sad to see how far it has gone in such a short period of time. I'm not sure why X is leaving, but X is just another company in a long list of companies. Often they'll take with them the people who worked there, then there's just that many fewer functional citizens as a percentage in the city. When does it become a vicious cycle?
A question was asked at this year's DEF CON during the "Making The DEF CON 32 Badge" talk.

Is Session's also good? They had this cryptobro stuff from the beginning so I never paid attention despite their claims that security is on par with Signal and the like (probably not the SGX and sealed sender bits, but the message contents encryption). Nobody ever talks about it but yesterday they apparently got a million users. Makes me wonder whether to start paying attention
That's a great idea! I will try that.
They are stored encrypted but whether Apple has the key depends on whether you've turned on "Advanced Data Protection" (aka "I don't expect Apple to bail me out when I lose access to all my devices"). The table in this support article details the treatment of various data categories under the two options:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/102651

The default for many categories is that your keys are in iCloud so Apple can recover them for you. With Advanced turned on, the keys are only on your personal devices. A few categories, like the keychain, are always only on your devices.

Specifically, see Note 3: "If you use both iCloud Backup and Messages in iCloud, your backup includes a copy of the Messages in iCloud encryption key to help you recover your data." Under normal protection, Apple has the key to your backups, but with Advanced they don't.
Downtown has never been where the bulk of the ppl in SF live or hang out. It is for the “bridge and tunnel crowd” —- mostly offices and businesses; and not meant to be habitable.

> real world questions are asked for which they need to find a solution, and where they need to explain how they found it.

This could be fun if the questions are predictable enough, but typically in my own early education 'word problems' just ended up being computation problems with the single extra step of translating the question into one of a very small handful of known formulas.

> mathematical formulas are already taught to 7-8 year olds

That's great, but applying memorized formulas is still just computation.

> How can it be thought in a less boring way, i do not immediately see it.

Mathematics is the work mathematicians do. That work is fundamentally creative: it's about exploring, defining, and constructing abstract structures and conducted through writing. Mathematics as it's taught before college is typically presented almost exclusively as a mere instrument in service of engineering or the empirical sciences. This is like teaching physics purely as a parade of unexplained facts about past results and never giving students a chance to conduct experiments!

There should be way less emphasis on the notion of a single track of linear progress from arithmetic to calculus. Formulas should be derived by students rather than just presented to them for memorization. Formal logic should be introduced about as early as arithmetic; first-order logic certainly isn't any more complicated than addition and multiplication. Teachers should prove the principles they expect students to rely on. Mathematical topics which do not require great facility with engineering computations (e.g., calculus, linear algebra, trigonometry), like propositional logic, discrete math, and basic geometry, should be used as opportunities to get students reading and writing proofs for themselves in multiple mathematical contexts as early as possible.

The more students have a sense of the foundations of what they're learning, the more meaningful it can be to them. The more deeply they understand their formulae, the less memorization is required. And the sooner they engage with proofs, the sooner they have a chance to engage with mathematical as a creative and collaborative process.

> The claims about memory fragmentation are less clear though

As to memory fragmentation, memory allocations are grouped by size, so when objects of the same size are allocated and freed, the memory can be reused efficiently without causing fragmentation. So Go's memory allocator organizes memory into size classes, which are predefined blocks of different sizes. When an object is allocated, it fits into the smallest available size class that can accommodate it. This reduces internal fragmentation (unused space within allocated blocks).

> As for the diagnostics, I gave a specific example of a very commonly needed diagnostic, identifying GC roots to understand why a memory leak is occurring, that Go simply doesn't provide (someone else suggested a third party package that might help). I am well aware of the basics provided in the article you linked, and they don't even discuss this. For whatever bizarre reason, the Go memory tools don't provide this info (that the GC obviously needs to determine in its operation) - probably another victim in their quest of making it easier to implement the runtime.

Can't you just use pprof to find memory leaks?[1] You can even get a diagram showing where allocations occur and see which lines of code allocate the most memory. In all the cases where I was investigating memory leaks, pprof was sufficient. Do you have any common examples where this wouldn't work?

It's about revenue growth opportunities, not current market share. Europe in general is largely stagnant, and seems likely to trend down due to the demographic time bomb.

In Asia, South Korea is already comparable to Japan as a technology market (but also stagnating). The big Asia-Pacific growth opportunities are going to be in India, Malaysia, and Philippines.
The SF problems exist in a lot of American places.

Hard not to think that American governance plus American culture are both a bit broken. Without a social safety net, the troubled and in-trouble layers of our society can’t find a hold for recovery.

I’m in SF right now. It’s a lovely place across many dimensions. But when the bus dropped me off near Civic Center and City Hall, I had to walk through and around a crowd that is in need of help.

My office used to be at 8th and Howard. I had to walk around the troubles. My employees would sob after wading in. The hardened part of me thinks “the addicts on the street have done this to themselves”, and the supportive part of me says “other places have figured out the minimum viable social safety net” to avoid the worst of it.

EDIT:
Amending with the following thoughts:

Cities and states will struggle to solve problems that need to be built at the federal level. Social support infrastructure for medical, unemployment, housing. Lose your job? Here and now you’ll be losing health insurance immediately and eventually housing. Other places have paid up to mitigate that and have lower levels of our acute issues.

Going into the future, with climate change, California will someday carry greater recognition that among the biggest and greatest cities on the planet, SF and LA arguably have the best weather and by quite a huge margin. I love NYC and Berlin and Singapore, but their weather sucks compared to the west coast’s. We’re beyond lucky and we act/vote selfishly and NIH/NIMBYish.
I think you are asking for this config [0] (let me know if not, maybe provide an example), but I’d caution against renaming it back to “Error”. The context selectors are not themselves errors, they are more-or-less fancy error constructors. It’s the same logic I’d use to call it `Error::new` instead of `Error::error`.

Having the context selectors called the exact same as the variants was the way the original version of SNAFU worked, but it was also the number one cause of confusion and support requests.

These wealthy countries are relying on the US to subsidize their medical innovation. The US drug market is the one where the profits are and which determines how much investment is worth it.

You get them regardless. The fault is on the employer for moving.
A lot of structs or, say, slices in Go escape just as much. Or the interface implementations which get boxed. You have to pick any workload that is even remotely allocation/collection throughput sensitive and limitations of Go's GC become immediately apparent. What is not immediately apparent is that Go offers limited avenues to address this.

It's a good design for its purpose especially given that it is much simpler and self-hosted when compared to Java's and .NET's GC impls, but assigning the attributes to it that never were there nor were pursued by its authors is just bad, but sadly common with some here, look.

You then have to ensure the flat side of the blade pair meets without a gap. The gap, at least when I’m sharpening wood planes with a chip breaker, allows material to get stuck which will prevent a good cut. I would imagine getting some spine caught in a gap there would cause issues. With a single blade you don’t need to worry about the back flatness as much.
This wouldn't surprise me in the least. My guess is that Telegram just doesn't put much effort into busting either spam or CSAM. They let channel admins do it.

> or at least mostly stable like C++

The C++ ABI doesn't solve generics (templates); C++ templates live in header files, as source code, and get monomorphized into code that's embedded in the binary that includes that header. The resulting monomorphized code is effectively statically linked, and any upgraded version of a shared library has to deal with old versions of template code from header files, or risk weird breakage.

Swift has a more realistic solution to this problem: polymorphic interfaces (the equivalent of Rust "dyn"). That's something we're taking inspiration from in the design of future Rust stable ABIs.

> but not for e.g. embedded Linux applications with limited storage

Storage is often not the limiting factor for anything running embedded Linux (as opposed to something much smaller).

The primary point in favor of shared libraries is to aid in the logistics of upgrading dependencies for security. It's possible to solve that in other ways, though.

This is one of the coolest things about these kinds of bootstrapping projects + reproducible builds IMO. One could imagine creating an incredibly simple computer directly out of discrete components. It would be big, inefficient and slow as molasses, but it could in theory conform to instruction set architecture, and you could use it to build these bootstrap programs, and you could then assert that you get the same result on your fully-understood bad computer as you get on not-fully-trusted modern hardware.
