If we wanted to, we could "fix" that. We let fictions like money rule the real world as it is, and we could easily take it further by replacing all of our locks with ones that only open for you if the chain says they should and other such ill advised automations.

But lets not, because partition tolerance, not consistency, has the superior political implications. Blockchains are just on the wrong side of the CAP theorem. It's a place for authoritarians and willful ignorance of important truths.
> global to your whole program

Zig automatically does what most languages call LTO, so "whole program" and "compilation unit" are effectively the same thing (these error indices don't propagate across, e.g., dynamically linked libraries). If you have a bunch of ZIg code calling other Zig code and using error types, they'll all resolve to the same global error type (and calling different code would likely result in a different global error type).

> distinct error type, why?

The langage is very against various kinds of hidden "magic." If you take for granted that (1) error paths should have language support for being easily written correctly, and (2) userspace shouldn't be able to do too many shenanigans with control flow, then a design that makes errors special is a reasonable result.

It also adds some homogeneity to the code you read. I don't have to go read how _your_ `Result` type works just to use it correctly in an async context.

The obvious downside is that your use case might not map well to the language's blessed error type. In that case, you just make a normal record type to carry the information you want.
There's a button at the top of the event page (after it's created) to add it to your calendar, but it's a bit strange that you even have to do that manually.
I was talking about C++ 20 modules and C++23 modularised standard library, and that has little to do with LLVM, rather clang.

LLVM improvements will do little to improve Rust, because the major issue is the lack of parallelism and massive amount of LLVM IR that the fronted gives to the backend to handle.

That seems to be the case. In the literature it’s studied under the concept of aberrant salience. A Google Scholar search turns up seemingly interesting (salient, haha) papers: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=cannabis%20salience&btn...

From one of the papers: “the Aberrant Salience (AS) construct […] refers to an excess of attribution of meaning to stimuli that are otherwise regarded as neutral, thereby transform them into adverse, dangerous, or mysterious entities. This leads the patient to engage in aberrant and consequently incorrect interpretative efforts concerning the normal perception of reality and its relationship with our analytical abilities. AS appears to play a significant role in the onset and perpetuation of psychotic disorders. The internal conflict arising from aberrant attributions of significance leads to delusional thoughts, ultimately culminating in the establishment of a self-sustaining psychosis.” — https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2023.1343...
Eat the rich, before they eat you.
This is simply a delusion detached from reality. I am a white man in STEM academia. I've never been discriminated against once. None of my white male colleagues have either. They are all successful in academia. And my colleagues who aren't white men are in no way inferior. Just let us vote and ask if we feel discriminated against or oppressed because of DEI. We'll vote no.

It's simply a delusion that DEI is some unmeritocratic disaster. The reality is academia has its pick of top talent regardless of race or gender. I don't know any scientists who buy into this delusion irl. Diversity is a small factor in hiring because the field is already predominantly white men and it's no harder to pick top star talent when you diversify.

Simply insane that you are promoting the destruction of US science, US foreign aid, and so much of the good stuff the US government does, all in the name of a deeply delusional witch hunt.

Federal money is allocated by Congress, and the President is required to spend the money as allocated by Congress. The President does not have authority to cut spending. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impoundment_of_appropriated_fu...

> Ok, so all payments are paused while funding is reviewed? ... This is taxpayers money ... A shocker that government agencies might need account for spending.

Reviewed for what?

Reviewed for whether the spending was authorized by Congress? If Musk finds that money is being spent in ways that are not authorized by Congress, and cuts that spending, great.

Reviewed for whether the money is being used efficiently to accomplish the goals set by Congress? Again, if Musk finds ways to stretch the same amount of money to accomplish more, that's great. For example, if Musk makes USAID more efficient so it delivers more aid for the same amount of money, that would be wonderful.

Or "reviewed" for whether Trump/Musk agree with them? It's illegal for the President to unilaterally cut programs just because he doesn't like them.
Wouldn't the bulk freight still be largely un-inspected?

Seems like a lot of logistics companies will just offer a lot of LTL where packages will go inside shipping containers and then get reshipped via USPS after getting sorted at the private logistics warehouse near the port.

The containers will take longer to get here via ship, and everything will have to be marked with an invoice for some kind of tariff, but I don't know what else will really change.

Of course it solves the problem. People will prevaricate and blow a ton of money in so many ways before they acknowledge the easiest fix.

The extra expenses will also encourage actual fixes to the system like better automation or whatever to reduce costs.
what's literally genocide here? Taking over Gaza with U.S. forces? Relocating the population? (hint, neither is actually genocide, literally or otherwise if you bother to look at any legitimate definition of the term)

As for calling Netenyahu's ferocious bombing campaign genocide, things get blurrier. That it was grotesquely inhumane and violent, absolutely, that it could be called a war crime? I'd say yes, though good luck finding any western power willing to genuinely prosecute. That it was a literal genocide? Not quite so certain. Motive matters. Genocides are a very particular type of tragedy, and re-defining every barbarity of war into one risks diluting the import of unambiguous genocide when it does happen.

> they’re amoral and are designed to maximize profits

Isn't that a contradiction? Morality is fundamentally a sense of "right and wrong". If they reward anything that maximizes short term profit and punish anything that works against it then it appears to me that they have a simple, but clearly defined sense of morality centered around profit.
There is still a lot we can do. Every demagogue and authoritarian regime collapses eventually, often quickly- and they haven't even succeeded in seizing total control yet. As long as we are alive, we can resist.

Moreover, even under the worst possible situations, individuals can find meaning and purpose. Viktor Frankl's book "Man's Search for Meaning" on surviving concentration camps as well as James Stockdale's books on surviving as a POW in Vietnam show firsthand that it is possible.

Voters are overwhelmingly in favor of funding US science. They are overwhelmingly in favor funding US international aid. The public thinks we spend way more on these than we do.

The idea that the blatantly illegal actions by the current administration reflect public will simply isn't based in any kind of reality- just calling it out as a lie.
Edit: thanks for all of the replies, I’m questioning my framing here now due to some smart people’s thoughts.. I suggest reading the full thread, as there are some interesting comments.

I see the obvious parallels to Trump, and I agree completely (and hate that it is happening). But I feel like I also see a lot of parallels to the democrats. Deciding Kamala would be the candidate without any public vote, for example. They both have aspects that heavily mirror the article.

I normally am not a fan of both-sides’ing an issue, but this seems like a literal case of everyone in the government basically performing that they disagree with the other, while marching down similar paths. They fight on issues that get people excited, while conspiring together to inch towards a “mystery government” which we must just trust.

I believe the path forward is to find things in common with our neighbors rather than politicians. Even if we disagree on some political views with our neighbors, we likely still have a lot more in common with them than any politician.

And, if you disagree, really truly read this with a critical eye, imagining the other side. Listen to their complaints. Because they feel the same way about your side. I’ve literally heard smart people in both political parties call each other authoritarian. So maybe the issues are actually with both sides.
I love the idea, but digital workspaces are already a published, polished ecosystem that locks you in via Google, Zoho, Microsoft M365, etc.

"blame" and "wrong" being words you brought to the table not I. So, in agreeing the bias exists, I don't cast the same emphasis as you in the situation. I see this as women demonstrably are being asked to accept lower standards than endogenously they seem as a set to believe in. To me thats a net cost on women, against their own beliefs. To you, they are to "blame" and they are "wrong"

I did say disadvantage. I own that word here. In fact, the situation disadvantages men just as much: either project an unrealistic version of yourself or be cast aside. But, thats the singular burden on men, because Women are being advised both to accept "less" and to believe the best they see, which is an artifact of professional portraiture. I've seen myself in candid shots and in pro shots and the pro shots are not me: I don't usually wear a shirt without food stains, and like George washington I am careful about my smile.

I get that the iCloud tiers start cheap, but having 50GB doesn't really do anything for me since it's still not big enough to back up an iPhone. And there's zero chance I'm going to start paying for a monthly service in order to get access to an evite clone that I would use a couple times a year. Maybe there are big partiers out there that would upgrade just for this, but this seems like an impending flop to me.

So in your world, rm and mv accomplish the same thing?
Wait, I thought we had AI.
This doesn’t work. Look:

Commits are sets of files. They form a tree. A branch is a named location in this tree. The index aka staging area is a pre-commit that has no message. Workdir is just workdir, it doesn’t go in the repo unless you stage it. HEAD is whereafter commit will put new changes.

Do I understand git? Seems like yes. Let’s run a quiz then! Q? A.

How to make a branch? Git branch -a? Git checkout -b --new? Idk.

How to switch to a branch? Git switch <name>, but not sure what happens to a non-clean workdir. Better make a copy, probably. Also make sure the branch was fetched, or you may create a local branch with the same name.

How to revert a file in a workdir to HEAD? Oh, I know that, git restore <path>! Earlier it was something git reset -hard, but dangerous wrt workdir if you miss a filename, so you just download it from git{hub,lab} and replace it in a workdir.

How to revert a file to what was staged? No idea.

How to return to a few commits back? Hmmm… git checkout <hash>, but then HEAD gets detached, I guess. So you can’t just commit further, you have to… idfk, honestly. Probably move main branch “pointer” to there, no idea how.

If you have b:main with some file and b:br1 with it, and b:br2 with it, and git doesn’t store patches, only files, then when you change b:main/file, then change and merge+resolve b:br1/file, then merge that into b:br2 to make it up-to-date, will these changes, when merged back to already changed b:main become conflicted? Iow, where does git keep track of 3-way diff base for back-and-forth reactualization merges? How does rebase know that? Does it? I have no idea. Better make a copy and /usr/bin/diff [—ignore-pattern] the trees afterwards to make sure the changes were correct.

As demonstrated, knowing the base abstractions doesn’t make you know how to do things in git.

I don’t even disagree, just wanted to say fuck git, I guess. Read guides or not, google or reason, you’re screwed either way.

Detroit's problems go way earlier than that. RoboCop was made in 1987, and by then the state of the city was already a national stereotype. Most people will say the race riots of 1967 were the turning point, but decay probably started earlier than that.

Rust has very real limitations and trade-offs. It compiles slow and the binaries are large. The compiler also makes performance sacrifices that makes it generally slower than C. I'm sure the language will continue to be successful, but it hasn't "won".

People say this to feel better about the situation with zero regard for the insidious societal issues it causes. It's absolutely true but it's basically never productive to make a point of it. For your own good and the good of society, develop more helpful insights or don't say anything at all.

Going through life with basically zero romantic opportunities will completely fucking fry the brain of an average human. Sex, romance, etc. are a top psychological priority to ensure the continuation of the species and most people on this planet are hardwired to be in pain in the absence of it. With some luck, people hurting like that hold on to some hope of things changing for them and it provides enough motivation to break even on societal contribution.

If they give up hope, our society is structured in a way that doesn't give them any reason to play by the rules any more. If you're holding down a good job, blow your money on stupid shit; you have no wife to disappoint and no kids feed. If your hobbies consist of jacking off and playing video games (these are super easy, so you should definitely consider them) just half-ass whatever job lets you squeak by on rent if you're not fortunate enough to crash at your parents' place indefinitely. Get super into drugs, you're not really hurting anybody but yourself. Your friends might think you're a fuckup, but they're busy with their family and don't have a lot of free time to spend with you, so you don't have to be ashamed of your situation all that often. 30+ years of no responsibilities other than don't die (and even that part is kind of optional). Gonzo lifestyle. It's all yours, baby. It's lit.

There are people out there that are just plain bitter, unstable, unable to be reasonably loved, and maybe even ugly to boot. There's not much to be done about that. That being said, in the modern era, it is very possible (maybe even easy) for good people to never form any romantic relationship that would tie them into productive society, and turn into burnouts with apathetic, bitter worldviews. "You aren't owed anything and you got what was coming" is not encouraging in the slightest.

For one, it doesn't do all the "memory safety parts", according to the readme. I'm very skeptical that Zig can be made memory safe with a checker while still remaining compatible with existing code. Certainly neither C nor C++ can, and Zig isn't meaningfully different in expressivity (if anything, it's more expressive, which is the opposite of what you want).

Fines
I've been all over China and it's true current generations are only all too happy to be rich and quite often obscenely rich.

They have very real understanding that all of it could be unilaterally taken away by the state at any time, so even if they flash their wealth they keep their mouths shut. At the same time many do buy in to state propoganda.

But what of their children who are born into comfort of middle class and are less materialistic and willing to fight to justice?

Honestly, I don't feel that the name is _that_ important for a project of such scale and popularity. I mean, if they'd just rebrand JavaScript as JS, no one would probably notice. Many devs already call it like that, and probably not a single soul feels JS connection to Java anymore (not to mention, it wasn't there in the first place, but oh well).

Even bigger companies do rebranding sometimes.
