Dismissing certain musical forms as lacking artistic validity because they don’t adhere to a predefined theory ignores the cultural, emotional, and contextual factors that shape artistic expression. Just as culinary traditions differ across regions and personal tastes vary, music exists in diverse forms that may not conform to classical or academic frameworks but still hold meaning and value for listeners. While food has measurable nutritional values and health impacts even the implied sugary items like candy, still provide some nutritional value, even if overwhelmed by the non nutritional ingredients.

Before Rust, the only way to achieve memory safety was to use a garbage collector. Or static allocations. Experiments with region inference like in Cyclone were impractical, because they often led to accidental memory explosions.

And adding a GC is a hugely impactful step.

I'm struggling to find the original document/page I read on this, but largely, "a car having better parts is due to the road having features that benefit these parts due to generations of studying the way cars behave in that set of circumstances.

it's a bit more easy to read data comparing for example safety in Euro market vs American market (there are fundamental differences in safety thoery; lighting, ride heighgt, weight, engine size etc. As opposed to looking at changing trends in one market over 20 years, which are largely stylistic.)

I read 15% weight loss in 18 months, 0.83% per month. Starting at 120 kg that is about 1 kg per month. Works out to about 1 dollar per gram at 1000 $/month.

running 8 km (or 5 miles) a day, you can lose 1 kg in 2 weeks. 110km/kg or 0.11 km/g or 110 m/$ or 0.9 cent per meter.

We did this for our children as a US couple, and didn't even make the connection to Scandanavian practices (my wife's heritage, coincidentally).

This is neat - I built something in a similar vein recently but less productized, good work!

I have a habit of moving around (thus changing doctors) and a lack of a history / being able to easily consolidate them has been a reoccurring pain. I recently had a full physical while in Thailand and there was some potential concern around my labs & some imaging --- of course, without history it was a "check again in 6 months!" which prompted me to capitalize on Gemini's PDF parsing abilities...

I've witnessed 4 medical emergencies, with 3 being life-threatening. Each case at different hospitals, and each incorrectly diagnosed.

The most dramatic was in 2009. My wife was admitted to emergency at 22 weeks pregnant with severe cramping, nausea, and severe IBS like symptoms. She couldn't keep food down, leading to daily stomach pumping and eventually IV nutrition.

The episodes started every few days but grew more intense and frequent. After 8 days, the first doctor seemed lost. When I asked about a second opinion, he lectured me that it was "his call to make, not mine." That killed any trust - I asked him not to return.

The next doctor, an eccentric but brilliant GI specialist, ordered new tests. I obsessively googled every result (partly to cope, partly to help). When he suggested a motility drug, my research found a case of spontaneous abortion linked to it. We declined.

Three weeks in, I noticed something odd in her lab work - different blood counts from different locations. More late-night googling led me to placental percreta, where the placenta grows through the uterus and attaches to other organs. Several ultrasounds proved inconclusive.

With daily episodes now and my wife deteriorating, we insisted on an emergency C-section despite warnings about our baby's lung development. During the procedure, even with an epidural, she went into extreme pain. Her eyes rolled back, the surgical team's demeanor changed instantly, and I was told to leave the OR.

Waiting outside for who knows how long. I knew the risks. Some noise down the hallway, a few nurses called me over. They were wheeling a humidicrib down the hall to the ICU. Little champs whole leg was no longer than my pinky finger. They took him into the ICU and sent me to the hospital room to wait.

The OB arrived an hour or so later and explained she was alive and they had to remove something. He took out a photo and and showed how the placenta had indeed broken through her uterus and attached to the intestine. He then pointed to a particular point and explained how it would have ruptured at any moment. The decision to push for the C-section likely saved both lives. Our son, never developed lung issues. Lots of luck.

This experience showed me how even amazing doctors, overwhelmed with cases and data, can miss crucial connections. In 2009, they didn't have the tools to correlate data the way I could with google search-fu.

AI diagnosis tools will save lives - they can make these connections faster and more reliably than either doctors or desperate husbands with search engines. And it will just improve over time.

We’ve been hearing for decades now that congress is hamstrung because “one side” refuses to cooperate. And yet, apparently when it comes to things like banning tik-tok, or renewing the various PATRIOT ACT provisions, they can get it done with barely a quibble.

Almost all of congress’ problems are of their own making. At what point do we stop accepting the excuse from half of congress that their hands are completely tied and start holding them accountable for fixing it.
Yes they can, which is why there are many many factors considered in granting and maintaining a clearance. None of them are simple black and white things. For foreign property, it is very different owning a small vacation house and owning a house where 3 generations of your spouse’s family live or owning a commercial property that provides a significant income to you. A foreign government putting each of those things at risk would have very different implications.
Oh god please no, I hate the rare program that poops my terminal full of seven pages of output and I have to use like shift+pgup or the mouse to get back up to see the only four useful words of output: "option --anakyze not recognized". This also confuses the heck out of beginners.

MariaDB also doesn't print the entire manual when it goes "syntax error at ' OR 1=1". It makes no sense.

You can include "See --help for more information" at the end of every error to make sure everyone knows where to find that, though, since indeed not every program uses the same syntax for usage. 90% of the time I don't need a copy of a program's manual in my scrollback when I, say ,typo something or forgot that two options are incompatible. There is a reason scrollback exists and I use it for that purpose. I'll look up the manual or run --help in another terminal tab/window, or choose to run it in the current one at my own discretion thank you
I think the problem is the data.

Software engineering is a weird niche that is both a high paying job and something you can almost self-teach from widely available free online content. If not self-teach, you can rely on free online content for troubleshooting, examples, etc.

A lot of other industries/jobs are more of an apprenticeship model, with little data and even less freely available on open internet.
Europe lacks good frameworks for startups to succeed especially for first time founders. But nobody’s distracting our founders asking them to focus on bottle caps.

The climate is changing. US pulling away has forced Europe to accept that there’s other priorities than pure regulation. The draghi report had provided lawmakers, politicians and lobbyists with a useful tool to reprioritise.

And the US becoming a toxic swamp means it’s not a good bet for the future. So while what you say is true for the past, it no longer is.
Thanks. I was aware of the trigraphs but the digraphs had passed me by.
I’m not that interested in this heated continuation of my silly idea, but there’s a thing I want to share.

I got my first “computer” when no advanced electronics existed in the area. The best they could get was simple fixed-eink(?) display with some buttons and a trivial “chip”. But later all the kids got nintendo or better PCs, while I got nothing due to no money and “you have a computer already”.

And that was my driver. I had no games like SMB/SF/etc and no internet. This exact combo made me learn BASIC and later 8080 assembly (sick), by the alien manuals which I had no idea how to read, cause I knew the letters but not words. But I had a dictionary. Almost no one else learned how to program a computer, despite the abundance.

You got the idea, I think.

Ofc in a real aid case this idea will be lost in translation and they’ll receive a bunch of samsung tablets, completely useless on that island.
> You need a complete change of mindset, of routine, of relationship with food, of relationship with your body. If you keep everything the same as soon as you stop the treatment it's game over. And if you manage to change all of these things you don't need the treatment to begin with. We treated my father in law, by explaining him about calories, exercise, &c. He lost 40kg in a few years and will never gain them back, because he isn't relying on any magic pills.

What the treatment does is enable me to change all of these things. I don't let food control me because I no longer get extremely cranky when I haven't eaten in 8 hours. I eat a balanced healthy diet because feeding my hunger no longer requires 1000 calories of carbs. I listen to my body because the voices saying "drink some water" and "get up and stretch" are no longer drowned out by a troll demanding that I go eat 3 cookies right this second.
None of them.

You are better off coding up your workflow in some normal language, like Python, using normal programming techniques.

There is the (1) essential complexity of your problem and (2) the accidental complexity that is added by your tools. If your framework doesn't confront (1) your project will fail. Adding a few more features that your framework is lacking will probably take more effort than building a minimal viable product from scratch. As for (2), the framework authors thought a lot of things are important that are not important for you. The framework will make you do things you don't want to do. Suppose it has to keep some state in a database: do you want it in a database that you know is reliable and know how to manage or do you want to add risk by adding a database that is unknown to you, etc.

Years ago I wrote a general purpose model trainer and it was one hell of a mistake because it had to face many different scenarios, not least that it was supposed to support models that take 30 seconds to train (but gets thoroughly model selected) and models that take 5 days to train across a cluster. Either case brings in a lot of requirements that the other case doesn't need, trying to support everything made something that wasn't simple or reliable for anything.

See langchain, for instance, if your first impression is that makes no f'in sense, it's not because you're not smart enough to understand it, it really doesn't make any sense.

> That alleles linked to cognition and behaviour are no less likely (unless fatal or impacting reproduction) to be found at observably different frequencies between populations than the ones used to create an ancestry report.

I though ancestry reports were regarded as unreliable to the point of meaninglessness because the genes used were not sufficiently strong indicators of population?

> Presumably because racists would ignore all the mediating environmental factors or vastly misrepresent the proportion of variance explained by a given genotype.

Not discussing something because people can misrepresent it is a bad idea. it is both wrong, and has the opposite effect to that intended because it lends credibility to claims of cover up.
Even when everything is going well, ^this is still a reason for The Medical System to miss a lot of things.

It's full of people, and things can happen in an unavoidable rush with no prior context. It's not possible to have enough context and act quickly enough in many cases, regardless of intentions or money. So people do what people do: learn from past experiences where the effort/success line lies, and sometimes over-fit for the next case.

Personal attention is needed to adjust that line. Better tooling for personal attention does a lot to make that more possible. I do wish legitimate attention were easier to distinguish from hypochondria, and more doctors were willing to listen, but it's full of people - any pattern you can come up with will be wrong in both directions.

I dunno if LLMs are the current best option or not (they do have a huge benefit of understanding vague phrasing though), but I am definitely in favor of more tools. It has almost always led to better outcomes.
They're as real as any other aspect of human nature. There are no "artificial rules", just humans acting according to normal human behavior. Ignore that at your peril.

I don't think this progression is universal or is strongly linked with specific ages. At least, it wasn't for me. For instance...

School, job, success, retirement. That’s the plan.

I absolutely didn't think this when I was young. I certainly heard that sales pitch, but even as a child, just looking around made it clear that the sales pitch wasn't reflective of reality. That "at 40" realization wasn't something I ever experienced because I knew that was how things worked from the start.

Well you say "that family" but you only give examples of why Rust isn't Ada.

Is the situation that you consider there are two families of languages, "Ada" and then "All of the other programming languages" and you've decided to label that second group C?

On that basis I agree, Rust has a "C base" as do Fortran, Logo and the Standard ML of New Jersey, but I don't think that's a useful way to understand anything about programming languages.

> In Rust if I declare an array as having 5 elements then pass it to a function where I try
to access element 6 then nothing will try raise an error at compile time.

https://rust.godbolt.org/z/4eMTTMar4

Looks like a compile time error to me. I suspect you wrote a function which takes a slice reference not an array. In Rust these types are named &[T] and [T; N] and sure enough we don't know the value of N in a slice because well, it's not part of the type. Ada can't magically know this either, in Ada you've probably been writing an array here, and if that's what you meant you can do that in Rust too with similar effect.

You can't do it in C (the array types do exist in C, but they decay to pointers at the edge of any function, so we can't pass these types between functions) but you can in Rust.

> arrays are only indexed by numbers rather than any discrete type

I guess you're thinking about core::slice::SliceIndex<[T]> ? This is (at least for now and perhaps forever) an unstable trait, so, you're not "allowed" to go implement this in stable Rust, but if you did anyway you can cheerfully implement SliceIndex for your own type, Rust won't barf although you can probably undermine important safety features if you try because none of this is stabilized.

Far from being "only numbers" core::slice::SliceIndex<[T]> is already implemented for the ranges (both kinds) and for a binding pair (lower_bound, upper_bound)

So in terms that maybe seem more obvious to you, we can do foo[(Bound::Unbounded,Bound::Unbounded)] as well as foo[3..=4] and foo[3..] in addition to the obvious foo[3] -- these are all defined on slices rather than arrays though because in practice that's what you actually want and we can just decay the array to a slice during compilation.

Overall I still think it really is the syntax that threw you off.
Are we considering mitochondrial DNA? Because that is always passed down from the mother's line, so maybe we should always use the mother's maiden name as the "last" name to preserve this trait.
To be the devil's advocate, what if the modern corpora that DeepSeek is trained on encourages this response? There has been a couple of years where AI responses to prompts have proliferated through the internet at large.
No, for systems programming it means nobody needs it to be faster.

You're welcome to use Python for whatever slow scripting you personally need, but it's not suitable for writing an OS and libraries because it's going to make every program slower, and while that might be ok for you, it's not going to be ok for a lot of people.
