I imagine that is a dev's perception (in shipping rust binaries to users) with their rolling OS and constantly updated rustc. But as a user trying to compile rust code written by rust devs what happens is that it won't compile because the compiler is 3 months out of date and rust devs immediately use new features. I had this happen personally often enough it put me off even trying out rust written applications. This is not things I've heard. It is things I've directly experienced.

rustc is a rolling only compiler and that's not great and it does break often (not be able to compile code) in distros that are not rolling. And no, curl|sh and/or rustup are not solutions. I think the only solution is waiting for rust to become popular enough that the proportion of bleeding edge using devs to normal devs goes down.

As I said, in American English I’ve never heard the term treason used for anything other than bettayal of one’s own country. You appear obsessed with this. Your usage of treason appears to be correct but to me it sounds weird. I’m a native speaker of American English. You were downvoted and I suspect some of those downvotes came from using “treason” as it may have sounded hyperbolic.

When Musk 'joined' Tesla it was a name and two other guys. The latter two of whom left the company before a single car had been produced. They then sued for the right to be called founders a couple of years after they left, and once it became clear the company would stand a reasonable chance of success.
Most people do see productivity gains from using LLMs correctly. Myself included. Just because some people don’t learn how to use them correctly doesn’t mean LLMs aren’t helpful. It’s like when internet search came out and a handful of laggards tried it once, failed to get the exact perfect result, and declared “internet search is useless”. Using a tool wrong is not evidence of the tool being useless, it’s evidence that you need to learn how to use the tool.

Not sure what was so great about win 7. But maybe there is something I missed, because I also started using Ubuntu at that time and then MacOS. From a bystander perspective Win 7 just seemed like a vista plus. Ubuntu was a breath of fresh air at the time, it genuinely seemed like they were going to bring desktop linux to the masses... and it had compiz! But this was before canonical started taking a less practical approach and reinventing everything.

There's a level of truth to many of those statements.

3) Deepseek prevented the collective west from exerting control over the creation of base models

More context. Other parties already said that impeachment is irresponsible at this stage. There are procedures to be done before considering that and the aim of the other powers (congress and justice) right now is to correct whatever is wrong with the executive's decision-making procedures.

I think a case can be made for Windows 7 being objectively the best windows in terms of stable features, user surveys, other objective indications of user satisfaction. We could look at things like serious incidents, compatibility issues, various widespread problems, etc.

Your comment implies Windows versions could not be ranked objectively, which suggests an objective criteria could not be established. I disagree.

I've yet to see an ORM which doesn't just eventually make everything harder. Especially when it comes to automatic migrations, which seldom seem to take into account production necessities like multi-node deployment, downtime considerations and not destroying your production data silently because it doesn't fit.
Yup.

After multiple bad experiences with contractors [1], I decided I could fail all by myself, for free.

So I bought all the tools, all the books (now youtube videos), do some mockups (eg practice tiling in the garage) before each project, and still (mostly) hate the results.

But it's cheaper, I learn a helluva lot, and my third attempt is usually good enough.

[1] Just 4 weeks ago, after a storm, I finally figured out my very expensive backyard fence doesn't have footings. That contractor just stuffed the posts in the ground and filled in with dirt. Stupid me wouldn't have even thought to ask, much less verify that work. So now I'll be learning how to make a fence. So it goes...

The article mentions the MIPS/Ultrix-based DECstation 5000 series as systems that provide an ACCESS.bus interface. However, only systems from the Personal DECstation 5000 range (R3000-based models 5000/20,25,33 and the R4000-based 5000/50, codename "Maxine") provided an ACCESS.bus interface and the related peripherals (LK501 keyboard and VSXXX-BB mouse). I wrote the first Linux drivers for these in the 1990s and still have a number of Personal DECstations sitting in my basement...

If you want to experiment with ACCESS.bus, there's an app note from Philips (AN445, https://www.elenota.pl/datasheet-pdf/150926/Philips/APPLICAT...) and example code for an 8051-based ACCESS.bus mouse (http://www.microshadow.com/files/files8051/abmouse.zip).

I’ve done dozens of what might be considered “drive by PRs” over the decades (hardly a regular). It’s attaching a patch to an email after finding the correct list (that might be the hardest part). It’s hard to accept the process itself is much more onerous than a forge. Regardless of venue, in every high profile project there are particular idioms and procedures that must be learned and followed. Few outside of side projects truly want totally "drive-by" contributions with no regards to the project standards, even if they're hosted on github.
On the other hand the lk process might be less marketed - but there have been sites like kernelnewbies for decades as well.

Where the process really looks different to me is for large, extensive work, not the drive bys. Whether it should change is another debate, but I think the intentionality of gatekeeping narrative via process is oversold.
Given that people with an agenda have already tried to make this about illegal immigration and failed, I look forward to them trying to make it about trans people instead. It's already a standard play in the book to take any headline-grabbing violent crime and try to blame it on a trans person, so when that's actually true there are absolutely gonna be people who think the whole community needs to answer for it.
So far, since their 1990s era Hollywood buy-in, I've bought one and only one Sony product, a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. I've been very happy with them, but only because they sound fine without any fiddling, which would require installing the app. I took a look at the app's T&C's and ran away screaming.

The batteries have held up fine over the five years I've had the pair, but I dread the day that they go.
> Without ABS the ability for a layperson to brake is greatly diminished

> People aren’t going to remember to pump the brakes in an emergency, heck most people don’t even know rhythmically pumping the brakes is a thing

I don't think looking at the extremes is the right approach here.

I've brought my car to a stop thousands of times, yet I've never once required the assistance of the ABS, in fact, I have no empirical evidence that it actually works at all.

Needing to brake and stop isn't an emergency situation, it's a very typical situation, and it would only become an emergency if you _can't_ stop.

If you happen to be having an emergency at the same time you lose electrical braking, you're shit out of luck.
When it comes to brakes, the first three priorities are reliability, reliability, and reliability. If indeed the brake-by-wire is as reliable as it's cousin, fine and dandy. But I've worked on brake systems and I, to be blunt, like the idea that if you slam on the brake pedal, oil travels through lines and closes calipers upon brake discs. You can do this with a car turned off, with it's engine disabled, with it's electrics completely dead, because the linkage between your brake pedal and the brakes is a mechanical one.

I'm not saying there aren't ways to make this equally safe with software, I can think of many ways. Do I necessarily trust the built-to-cost auto industry to do them? Ehhhhh....
In theory. In practice without testing there's no guarantee you're getting only 670nm light. I can make a brilliant 670nm source that also douses you with 385nm light.

I thiiiink, fundamentally, it’s a harder-than-it-looks problem space and if you come out with something that’s rough and broken, it never gains enough critical mass for it to become self sustaining.

What’s the “pitch”? It’s can’t be “Django but for rust but it’s kind of not ready yet”, bluntly.

So it needs to have some outstanding feature or accumulation of features that let it stand out from the other 30 rust web frameworks. Is there something here?

You really need to call out the “why another rust web framework” in more than just terms of ambition, imo.
Well yeah, in a consensus-based process you have to accept that not everyone is going to agree with you all the time. But you do have to try to push forward on things where there is consensus. There was a county committee that had a libertarian on it who would often advocate from a libertarian standpoint, whereas the people the committee affected were often more left/collectivist. However, he found himself briefly aligned with the rest of the group when a county official tried to do something that was against the law.
From the article:

Absolutely! The one thing I've been taught by one of my mentors, and consistently found true, whether working on home, automobile, bicycles, or in shop, is:

Get the best tool that you can for the job.

E.g.: In powered tools, always go for the brushless motor version (lighter, better power, smoother, more durable). Better to buy 2nd hand Matco/Snap-On than consumer wrenches etc. than cheap hand tools (Sure the mid-price ones might also have a lifetime warranty, but the turnaround time won't help you in the field; get ones that will break more rarely in the first place). Whatever the situation, do a bit of research and find what is best.

The good tools will be a joy to use every time and save a myriad of frustrated swear-fests over your lifetime. And they'll last longer.

Buy once, cry once, indeed!
What's funny is its obviously in early stages, but its homepage doesn't show an immediate code sample. I find it funny because you are trying to appeal to lazy devs but making them work to get to any code samples.

The golden rule for making a website / readme for any programming language, web framework (or even GUI frameworks) is to have at least one or more code samples, so people can see what coding in your framework looks like.

I'll excuse it since it's a newish project it seems. :)

On that note, I'll be keeping a close eye on this one. This is the kind of web framework I look for, batteries included.

> although the AI not being able to really give criticism is a bit annoying.

I’ve managed to get ChatGPT to a good place in this regard recently and it’s better for it. In fact, it’s been doing such a good job recently that it almost seems like…human like.

I’ll have to look at my prompts, but somehow I got it from licking my ass and telling me everything I say and do is amazing to a point now where it almost seems eager to tell me I’m wrong.

Which is fantastic, huge improvement. I don’t really use it for coding though, because I am not a programmer. I would have no means today to correctly evaluate 90% of what it would return me.
My impression is people use ORM not because they lack SQL skills (which is possible), but because it makes object-mapping much easier and with a large count of tables and ever-evolving database, at some point it just feels more natural to drop writing SQL queries and rely solely on the ORM to build up your object graph.

I actually find myself on crosspath where I did start with just SQL but now the database has grown a lot and it is just too much effort to keep writing queries as features pile up. Switching to ORM in one take would be nearly impossible but probably it could work as a step-by-step process, so have both SQL and ORM. Still thinking about this.
It was a much needed advancement from XP, and smoothed over all the rough edges that Vista had. It was incredibly stable, the Aero Glass interface was pretty, low resources and non-distracting. It also allowed you to configure updates and, importantly, only choose to receive security updates, something removed in later versions.

Windows 10 and 11 have telemetry and stability issues, don't respect user choices, force software on people, force updates and reboots, and have an interface mixed with 3 different frameworks - for starters.
Protein folding is a an application of generative AI that will probably produce trillions of dollars of value in the long term. It was probably impossible for Google to squeeze that sort of money from researchers who use it, but it proves that the technology definitely useful. Another application that is highly underrated is with robots completing complicated tasks.
Writing raw SQL is perhaps indeed easier for simple queries, but put some foreign keys inside or slightly more complex relationships between tables and you'll probably quickly fall into the trap of having to remember your entire database schema to write anything. Yes, the example from the documentation is slightly more complicated, but it checks at compile time the exact column names and types, so you get feedback much quicker than actually running the SQL query.

In addition to that, over the years of writing web services, I always found raw queries much less maintainable. The ORM immediately tells you that you messed up your refactoring, whether it is just renaming a column, or removing a table completely.

Pretty much every ORM (including the one in Cot) also allows you to write your own custom queries if the abstractions are not enough, so there's always this fallback option.

I'm not sure why you think you’d need an ORM for that. Most SQL client libraries allow you to compose queries, and query builders, which are not ORMs, can handle that just fine too.

In the abstract that might be true, but you're missing issues of unnecessary complexity which feed into systemic risk.

Large airplanes are obviously different to cars and so are the engineering choices. It actually makes a lot of sense to use fly by wire in an plane because the level of existing complexity (and expense) justifies it.

A Boeing with triply redundant mechanical control of control surfaces is still inferior to Airbus fly by wire when the latter can implement a more reliable system, but only because the inherent complexity and expense of planes allows it. The Airbus will have 5 or 7 redundant electrical paths to the control surfaces and numerous redundant power supplies and actuators and beats the mechanical system hands down.

On a car you sharply increase complexity, and therefor reduce reliability. You need redundant power supplies and power connections, for instance. Planes have to be serviced by certified professionals on a strict basis, where as cars do not. So you have to implement a system that still operates under conditions of neglect, all while having severe cost limitations.
