> Maybe be an upstream for Android and the various corporate kernels.

> A soft fork might clarify things like the old gcc fork did.

Nice idea but in practice there is absolutely no chance that this would be a successful strategy for those people in favor of Rust.

Being out of mainline tree would perpetually put Rust in the "future" (like Nuclear Fusion -- always just "20 years away"). Meanwhile Linux would continue to evolve in ways that could be very disruptive for Rust integration. For example, Rust interop needs to think very carefully about locks, memory order etc. Any change in the mainline kernel could really mess the assumptions made in the Rust fork. A year or two of evolution of the slightly independent evolution of the two branches may make it almost impossible to merge the two.

Only companies as large as Google could maintain the Android fork. The RFL team is small and I don't think large vendors would like to invest their time and energy on forks. Who would pick up and package the fork ? Red Hat ? Debian ? Arch ? They are already complaining about compilation and maintainability of Rust when it is in the mainline kernel. No chance that they start using the down stream rust kernel in their main kernels.

The only way Rust for Linux succeeds is if it has the blessing and push from Greg/Linus.
That makes no difference
It provides examples of unacceptable risks — they're in the article.

And the obvious whataboutism is obvious. Yes, you can find other sources for information on, say, developing bio weapons elsewhere. Does that mean you should have systems that aid you in collecting, synthesizing and displaying that information? That with the right interfaces and actuators can actually help you move towards that goal?

There's a line somewhere, that is very hard to draw, and yet should be drawn regardless.
That’s pretty fucked up. I’ll take a dozen thieves over a person willing to destroy someone’s life over a stolen bauble.
Not a kernel developer, but I assume that it's done by having relatively stable/long lived APIs, and some form of deprecation process where both a new and old version coexist for a relatively long time.
Oh yes, I agree with you - I just wanted to mention another source of unaccountable spending on Medicare.

Also ART takes the best of both worlds, as they quickly learned the best is to have JIT/AOT compiler collaborating, thus AOT gets all the reflection related info from the JIT, or Play Store Baseline Profiles and has all it needs to produce a proper AOT binary with the relevant execution flows.

To note that Java and .NET to some extent are catching up to Eiffel, Oberon, Smalltalk and Common Lisp toolchains, of a mix JIT/AOT, while inovating on their own ways as well.

I wonder why that C file which maps a more abstract Rust-friendly C-API on top of the existing API can't live inside the Rust directory and build structure. If I would be one of the Rust maintainers, I would try to be as non-intrusive to the established project structure as possible, ideally completely invisible. It's also cleaner to keep all the Rust-related changes on the 'Rust side' of the project, even if they happen to be written in C (I'm also still wondering why Rust-for-Linux cannot live completely downstream in a temporary fork).

I also can fully understand that a C programmer doesn't want to deal with such a 'Rust idiomatic' C API.

I get you can do something stupid in a rush but the longer you have time to reconsider, the higher the likelihood that you "didn't just fall for a dumb idea". Bitcoin is 15 years old.

> Also, the average person is smarter than about 4 billion people.

Bitcoiners are drawn from a normal distribution and not from the bottom part of the distribution, so that argument doesn't really work here.

Government is not a startup just as pizza is not a vegetable, just as prison is not a vacation from a bad job. It’s more accurate and less toxic to compare molecular oxygen to carbon monoxide. False comparisons do more harm than good.

Inexperienced people imposing disruptions due to lack of experience is why young people may succeed at startups but fail at establishing companies. Likewise, government is not a startup and you really don’t want government to fail.
We have it: three branches of government. But the political branch loyalty has been superseded by political party loyalty and it breaks the system.

What I think should happen is that the vast majority of legislators (Senators/Representatives) should be furious that the Executive branch is disregarding laws that they wrote themselves. And the justices should be furious that the Executive branch is disbeying their interpretation of the law.

> It's so great for writing DSLs. This magic might turn some people off but the result of this meta-programming makes for some very expressive and concise code.

The problem with DSLs is that you now have a different language for each project you have to maintain.

Each time you come across some little DSL that shortens the original writers work by a few lines (at most), you have to read it carefully, and in depth, to understand what was intended.

I'm turned off by Ruby for this reason alone. If I want the ability to throw little DSLs all over my code, Lisp does it better and more readably.

Absolutely.

> Why isn't shipping the runtime with the code a more common practise?

Well, Java has jlink which is meant to do exactly that (ship the parts of the JVM you actually need, which is easy to figure out as there are tools to do that), and that's the recommended approach today for shipping anything Java.

I agree. A bot is a program or an application that provides some sort of functionality that appears automated or autonomous in some way. A service account could be the primary identity of a bot, but that doesn't make it a bot.
I am familiar with Horizon and EU grant funds and how these projects are managed - basically a big waste of time and money without concrete results with plenty of bureaucracy crawling the project ideas and resources to the halt. I am not saying that because I think people are not hard working, I am just saying that the process as it is is not fit to produce something (market) competitive. Process is there to serve its own purpose.

You mention deliverables as document specs? Those are not the deliverables. The deliverables are products that gain traction and see success on the market or research topics that gain traction in the academia because of their groundbreaking methods. That in sufficiently short period of time because otherwise you cannot remain competetive. Leaving "commercialization" on the table while we figure out something is also what is wrong with the system. The world does not wait for EU to commercialize the idea that has been put into a document 5 years ago.

I can give concrete examples of many large EU companies and institutions, because they are just that and they have a lot of power, getting millions of EURs just to produce BIG nothing. Innovation is not at the heart of these projects. Mostly subpar engineers with no deep science research.

Can you list me few examples of successful projects you have in mind? Why, for example, Mistral AI isn't among them?
Additionally regardless of what upstream decides to do, Microsoft and Google are pretty much down on having Rust on their Linux forks, e.g. Sphere OS, Azure Linux, Android, ChromeOS.
> IOW, these kinds of projects are not parades for free money.

No, they are subsidies for uncompetitive R&D teams. They are spectacularly inefficient, for all the reasons you mention. Teams specialise in Horizon funding, not actual progress.

> Lastly, I don't get the grant money. It's just deposited to institution account. I have no monetary or material gain from this.

Aha, so your team is funded by Horizon. What's the old saying about people and understanding where their paycheques come from?

Where on earth are you getting “burned and destroyed much of [Portland]” from?

While it is nice to have quick charging, I find the "medium" quick charging to be completely fine for my usage. It "forces" me to take a short rest every 2-3h to go from 10->50-ish percent, while I'm using restrooms and/or taking our dog for a really short walk. I get that some people, at some time need to drive copious amounts of distance and can't wait to move on, but driving with family and pets on long journeys for me, mostly means those breaks are going to be needed and appreciated and the charging is just not noticeable as a time sink at all.

I'm sure this will help them sell a few more units, especially to people who hasn't owned EVs before, but you figure out quite quickly that the range-anxiety you had before buying it wears off really fast afterwards.

That's the explanation for why they couldn't just "order more toilet paper" to refill the store shelves.

But that wasn't the cause of the problem: the cause of the problem was people thinking "oh I'm not sure about a shortage, better buy an extra pack" (I know we did) for just one week...and then someone posts an "empty store shelves!!!" image on social media...which in turn prompts another group of people to do the same at another store, and then the idiot-brigade scalpers get involved. There's still no actual shortage though! The amount of toilet paper being produced is the same, the consumption rate is the same, people have just changed their stockpiling preference and the rate at which they do is spreading faster then any conceivable supply chain adjustment. But the actual consumption rate hasn't changed at all.

The idiot-brigade scalpers are worth commenting on because IMO there's a second factor which usually turns up: it's kind of fun to "buy out the supermarket" of some good. Like there's a child-like glee of going "I'll totally buy all of it" but most people don't consider that you can do this for any one item in the supermarket for like, $300 on the spot. It's just there's no reason too - partly because it's the most expensive possible way to buy almost anything.

Gresham's law says that "bad money drives out good". Due to the dynamic this describes, it is unlikely bitcoin would commonly be used to buy and sell things even if it did not suffer practical obstacles.

Bitcoin experiences less inflation than regular currencies. Some coins get created now, but over time we know its character will become deflationary: no new coins will be created, and some will be lost at times due to poor wallet management.

As a result, people will chose to spend other currency in preference to spending bitcoin. This is self-reinforcing. The infrastructure will not be in place to use it on the odd occasion that someone wanted to.

You could create a blockchain currency which had a natural and continuous rate of inflation, to encourage people to spend it. You could bootstrap this by mutualising it across an industry. e.g. imagine if the largest datacentre groups got together to create ModestlyInflationaryCoin, and then said they would offer discounts to customers who paid in ModestlyInflationaryCoin, as a means of bootstrapping it. Other groups might start to use it, and it would stay in circulation because people would want to be rid of it once they had it.

Even if such a currency existed, it would probably be short-lived. /Once it was bootstrapped/, its stakeholders would have strong incentive to change its contract to be non-inflationary. Making that change would convert their holdings from Bad Money to Good Money, and as a result the character it would significantly increase its value.

But the datacentre groups could then mutualise a new currency in place of the old one. It is possible that there is a virtuous loop here, and that there will be a race to quality in currencies in our future, grown from how easy it is to create new currencies. We might start to see the identity of currencies a bit more like the way we see futures contracts in our current era.
Diggerland is amazing, we took our kids to the one near (in?) Leeds (NW England, UK), for my son's third birthday, he was able (allowed) to operate all but the largest which I would estimate is somewhere in the 7.5T range.

The diggers don't move, they're fixed in position, and don't rotate, but otherwise you have full control of the arm using the normal stick-type controls.

My 4yo daughter picked it up far quicker than myself despite me being a life-long gamer, but we all had a fantastic time.

There are various games set up with different type of "diggers" such as "hook a duck"; with a hook on the end of the arm, 10-pin bowling; with a mini wrecking ball on the end of the arm, tyre stacking, where you drive a weird looking machine with pincers and rear wheel steering (that one was challenging) and of course "dig a hole".

As fresh graduate at your first job, I suppose you follow the instructions from your boss a bit more and still have faith in your boss and upper management, a bit more than a senior, more experienced employee. Just look at the military, it's quite easy to scream at 18 year old recruits and have them crawl in mud and being screamed insults at. Try the same with a 45 year old.
That's an odd take. What's bad for the economy is, for the most part, bad for you.

But to answer your question more directly, you should use a money that loses value because its purpose is as a medium of exchange and not a store of value. You need to have something in your life that you can reliably use to acquire things you need and exchange them for things you have (new laptop for hours worked). You want a hot potato, you get it, you pass it along to someone else. If you don't want to spend it on material goods and want to save, that's fine, you can instead "buy" a savings, or "buy" an index fund. You're still passing the hot potato around, but its giving you different things.

Now imagine you don't have a hot potato, you work and you get paid in... idk, something you don't want to get rid of. You struggle with letting go with your currency and so it costs you when you're trying to do exchanges. Similarly, if you're a shop owner or something, people are more hesitant to give you their currency as well. Things get slower, and darker, like a mechanical flashlight that you're spinning slower and slower.
