> You can use error codes instead; many libraries, especially from Google, do just that. And there are more modern approaches, like std::optional and std::expected:

Even if we are to accept this, we'd be back to an "adopt a subset of C++" argument.

You're right in one sense -- these are more modern approaches to errors, which were adopted in 2017 and 2023 respectively (with years for compilers to implement...). But FWIW we should note that these aren't really idiomatic C++, whereas algebraic data types is a baked in, 1.0, feature of Rust.

So -- you really don't want to adopt C++. You want to adopt a dialect of C++ (perhaps the very abstract notion of "modern C++"). But your argument is much more like "C++ has lambdas too!" than you may care to admit. Because of course it does. C++ is the kitchen sink. And that's the problem. You may want the smaller language inside of C++ that's dying to get out, but C++'s engineering values are actually "we are the kitchen sink!". TBF Rust's values are sometimes distinct too, but I'm not sure you've really examined just how different C++'s values are from kernel C, and why the kitchen sink might be a problem for the Linux kernel.

You say:

> RAII, smart pointers, overloadable functions, namespaces, and templates, and do so using the existing GCC toolchain

"Modern C++" simply doesn't solve the problem. Google has been very clear Rust + C++ codebases have worked well. But the places where it sees new vulnerabilities are mostly in new memory unsafe (read C++) code.

Okay, that's not even the craziest argument the judiciary has gotten. They'll just smash it down like everything else. If he ignores that, the court can escalate. Which is unprecedented for such office, but well in their powers. They can easily reinterpret presidential immunity as well in light of this entire month so that isn't really his protection.

Good question! While it could be implemented as a ChatGPT plugin, OpenAstra offers some key advantages:

1. Visual Features - We maintain useful UI elements from traditional API tools (request/response viewers, environment management) within your chat responses.
2. Privacy & Control - You can self-host it and use any OpenAI-compatible LLM (including local models), keeping sensitive API traffic within your infrastructure

The core idea is to build a complete API discovery and testing platform that happens to use chat as its primary interaction model.

i was using vercel ai sdk for my production app and it was such a bad experience that I eventually went with native implementation and tbh it was not much of work thanks to cursor.
problems i faced: too many bugs (just browse their github repo to get an idea), the UI side also had suboptimal performance based on how they implemented hooks.
Think of it as pre-rendering. Of pre-rendering and JIT collecting, pre-rendering means more work but it's async, and it means the timeline is ready whenever a user requests it, to give a fast user experience.

I don't understand why people think this means he should be given unilateral goodwill and authority. Honestly I don't think any of the people saying it really believes that. If they did, the same logic would apply to Biden and Obama and anyone questioning them would be questioning democracy. Yet somehow this 'will of the people so it must be good' only showed up when Trump was elected.

It starts with bleeding. The blood in the region of the bones forms a squishy mass that is not bone, but through which cells can flow. Specialized cells deposit calcium into this mass, guided by hormonal and chemical signals. If you imagine the two open bone ends as emitting a sphere of chemical signals, where the two spheres interfere constructively is where the 'signal' is strongest and where you want to deposit calcium. Bones are not just calcium of course, but that's the gist.
There has been an ongoing dispute between the SSA and its OIG about what to do about millions of dormant accounts for which SSA lacks a date of death. [0] SSA OIG views these accounts as a risk and wants them marked as presumed dead. SSA argues that it is unnecessary, that it would cost millions in administrative and IT costs for little real benefit, that there is a risk of accidentally marking living people as dead, and disagrees that it is a fraud risk since no benefits have been paid to these dormant accounts for many decades, and any attempt to “reactivate” one of them would be flagged as an anomaly and investigated as potential fraud. It would not surprise me if Musk’s claims of “150 year old social security recipients” turn out to be a distortion of this pre-existing debate. The distortion is in presenting these accounts as active cases of fraud, since the vast majority of them haven’t received benefits in decades, or never claimed them to begin with - they are mostly long-dead people who were registered with the SSA in the first few decades of its existence, but for whatever reason their death was never reported to the SSA (the processes for doing so were less effective decades ago and so the further back you go, the more deaths were “missed”)

Because that's 4 years from now, the market barely prices in things which will happen 6 months from now.

They're certainly not pricing in the fact that corruption is actually a really poor business model, especially with the current rollback of the regulatory protections: those companies are going to get paid a lot of money to be husks of their former selves. Why deliver anything when you can get paid for not delivering it as well? Why build and retain qualified engineering staff when you don't need them?
> I'm not sure we'd want to have an unelected executive agencies that is unaccountable to head of the executive branch. That just wouldn't even make sense.

Independent agencies, that execute their mission rather than the whims of one man (and are accountable to the law) don't make sense to you?
Iraq and Afghanistan were both pretty rough for the people living in those countries, and like the war in Ukraine neither one could be justified by reference to the interests of the invader, much less any of its citizens.

Not sure the thread concludes what you think it does: top comment is basically a shrug this is normal.
My dad taught me to read with Dr Seuss and the TI-99/4A BASIC programming manual. Starting writing my first programs at 4. Love that old machine. There was a sort of Gradius knock off for it called Parsec that I played the hell out of too.

When I was a little older I would borrow books at the library to write games in BASIC. Basically key stuff in that the book told you to write, and since a lot of it was for the C64 or TRS-80 I had to figure out how to “port” it to the TI. I wrote notes for my changes in pencil in the library books so I wouldn’t get in trouble with the librarian. Invariably I’d check the book out again a few weeks after I’d returned it. I was probably the only person who read my notes, but I like to think someone got some use out of my addenda.

Recreating map data is quite time-consuming. I did so though, to make a train map of Taiwan with time-proportional distances between each point. (based on a local train rather than an express train).

Blekko was gone by the time I learned about it. Recently (past few years) I emailed someone who worked on Blekko to get his opinion on a search engine concept I still have yet to start. His advice was to not bother competing with Google (obviously) LOL!

I don’t know if anyone’s embarked on a P2P search engine but that’s essentially my concept. Anyhoo, thanks for the inspiration!
I'm more concerned about lesser-known DOGE staffers taking huge paydays for sharing some "there's no way this is really classified" classified information and getting away with it.

Shenanigans like that usually land you in jail for 20+ years, but this is a presidential committee, so it's totally different.
>_Who_ would charge him with a crime? Prosecution is the responsibility of the Executive branch via the Department of Justice.

He only needs to piss off two SCOTUS's to start to have the entire book thrown at him. Unlike Congress, Judges tend to be somewhat resiliant to the political atmosphere. That's a lot more viable than congress. Less people to squabble with and people less concerned about losing their job. I woudn't even count out the entire DoJ on this either.They've been denying some of Trump's craziest EO's.

>Or a violent mob could be used to interrupt the impeachment vote.

Good. I'm tired of being blamed for "rebellion" everytime someone stands in front of a building with a sign. Let Jan 6th repeat while all eyes are on the Capitol looking at Trump.
Large phones are great for spectacle free use. You can hold the two feet away from you and still see everything while being able to actually focus.
> Saying that a President’s personal interpretation of Congress’ laws or the courts precedence, completely overrides any individual executive employees good faith understanding and responsibility to the Constitution, laws, and judicial rulings is madness.

But it's not madness based on the intended structure of government? The EO isn't saying "ignore Constitutional violations". It wouldn't be valid if it did.

If Congress passes a law that say "tobacco is banned", and the US President says "I will direct my agencies to follow this new law" and you have agencies saying "I'm not a lawyer, but I feel like this law is unconstitutional so my agency is not going to follow it!"?

How would the government even function if you have 100 agencies with 50 of them having the power to come up with their own interpretation of the law? How is that even workable as a branch of government?

The executive branch of government is more accurately viewed as a monolithic organization which derives 100% of it's authority by delegation from the US President. This is why the president personally selects the heads of each agency (with the Senate approving). Authority moves down from the president all the way to the most junior government employee - they are acting on behalf of the president.

> There will be disagreements within a branch that will need to be worked out.

What does "worked out" mean?

For legal issues the President will consult the US attorney general. If it's complex, the DOJ might create a white paper determining the constitutionality of a law or not.

To have an agency head disagree with that determination seems like a rogue agency. Why would that agency head know better than the attorney general?
Back during my high school civics class I would believe that.

But headlines such as "Trump signs order declaring only president and AG can interpret US law for executive branch"

Make me wonder.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Squinting while reading it… some places are actually getting -45F or so with -60F windchills, and some places are getting (February Seasonal Temperatures - 50). Still cold but not as cold as the headline suggests.

It’s absolutely breathtaking and unreal to watch it go woooosh. I mean what a marvel of engineering.
I do not see how you square that with the tax cuts that are being proposed in the same breath. Some $4.5 trillion in reduced revenue makes the debt problem worse.

Will Python ever get fast? Or even _reasonably_ fast?

The answer is no, it will not. Instead they'll just keep adding more and more syntax. And more and more ways to do the same old things. And they'll say that if you want "fast" then write a native module that we can import and use.

So then what's the point? Is Python really just a glue language like all the rest?
It's really sad no one just looks up the legal principles conservatives are pushing forward together with Trump.

Here, it's the unified executive theory, which is based on how the US system had worked for its first century.

Same with the birthright citizenship. The conservative argument is actually to a degree fairly reasonable. If I say this, then the current SC will surely rule in favor.

Bird Flu saunters into the chat, infecting millions and killing hundreds of thousands via backyard chickens that have zero health oversight

Neither Iraq nor Afghanistan are US territories.
The US dollar as the global reserve currency is an advantage Americans really don't appreciate the magnitude of. The US government is the one nation on Earth that can mint it's own money, and then just pay for things it wants in that same currency directly.

There is international trade not involving the US which is executed in US dollars, and country's where it's the de facto real currency compared to the local one.

If the global political situation shifts and say, the Euro becomes the global reserve, just how much power the US will have shed is difficult to comprehend.

It doesn’t really matter, unfortunately the whole federal workforce has a single boss: POTUS. And now they have a really moody one.

The US needs to come with some new checks and balances for presidential power. With every new election the president asserts more and more power, and the Congress sits idly by.

While it sounds likely that they leaked their key, it is also not entirely fair to characterize it as user error. Why does stripe apparently issue keys that can create new accounts, charge users, and withdraw money, and no one comments on this being abnormal? Setting up accounts should be a rare action (not something you need your application to be programmatically doing), and then they issue a scoped token that can e.g. charge your users and send the proceeds to one of those predefined accounts, refund transactions that it created, etc. and you give that to your application.

Even if they have the ability to issue "do everything" tokens/keys, that should be something they hide on a corner of their UI with lots of warnings about why it's a bad idea and how scoped tokens are what you mean to use unless you really really know what you want. It shouldn't be something you accidentally walk into.
I would argue that this is not the end of your country's democracy and that in 2028 a new president will be elected.

I think you’re misunderstanding the analogy. The equivalent would be Guam or Puerto Rico rebelling against the United States in a protracted guerrilla conflict.

The ethnic and cultural landscape in the Russian “republics” that didn’t gain independence after the fall of the Soviet union is a bit more complicated than the dynamics of US territories so I’m not sure how enlightening that analogy is though. If I were inclined to argue the point I’d bring up reservations as a counterexample.

Your ad homenim is unwarranted. Here are some other references illustrating it is widely known AP has serious problems with bias and journalistic standards.

"The AP has taken flak for a shift toward subjectivity in its news reporting, not just from media critics, but from small-town communities like the one in Lufkin, Texas. Readers of the Lufkin Daily News decried a July 4 AP story about Trump’s Mt. Rushmore speech for exhibiting bias, prompting an apology from the local paper’s editor. " [1]

"Honest public discourse depends on calling things by their right names. But much like the current trend at many mainstream publications and broadcast outlets, where journalists think their job is now to fight Trump and conservatives rather than just report the facts and let the people decide, the AP Stylebook has become an eager recruit for left-wing Democratic activism and the anti-Trump “resistance.”"[2]
