Most people will have an electrician install a charging station. Sure, some people will dodge it, as they already dodge other building code requirements.

Or, they can just tax the car based on some average mileage statistics. That's what my state does. Registering an EV is substantially more expensive than an ICE vehicle.
Sure, safety is a relative moving target. There’s no way to prevent race conditions unless you have proofs. And then there’s no way to enforce that your proof is written correctly. It’s turtles all the way down. Rust is a Paretto frontier of safety for AOT high performance languages. Even for race conditions I suspect the tools Rust has for managing concurrency-related issues make it less prone to such issues than other languages.

The problem is you’re creating a hypothetical gold standard that doesn’t exist (indeed I believe it can’t exist) and then judging Rust on that faux standard and complaining that Rust chooses a different standard. That’s the thing though - every language can define whatever metrics they want and languages like C/C++ struggle to define any metrics that they win vs Rust.

> For example you cannot get memory leaks in a language without mutation, and therefore without cyclic data structures

This does not follow. Without any mutation of any kind, you can’t even allocate memory in the first place (how do you think a memory allocator works?). And you can totally get memory leaks without mutation however you narrowly define it because nothing prevents you from having a long-lived reference that you don’t release as soon as possible. That’s why memory leaks are still a thing in Java because there’s technically a live reference to the memory. No cycles or mutations needed.

> So truly safe Rust (Rust without any unsafe at all) is leakfree, I think?

Again, Box::leak is 100% safe and requires no unsafe at all. Same with std::mem::forget. But even if you exclude APIs like that that intentionally just forget about the value, again nothing stops you from retaining a reference forever in some global to keep it alive.
Agreed. I recently started bookbinding as a hobby, and it's given me such an appreciation for well-constructed books. There are some amazingly talented people still honing this craft and even publishing research about new ways of doing things!

Seems unlikely that we'll ever totally move away from combustion engines, simply due to sunk costs plus the advantages of energy density and quick refilling. I expect we'll see net-zero carbon emission gasoline and other hydrocarbons sold at the pump within the next few decades, produced with either solar or nuclear energy:

Compressed natural gas (methane) is even easier to synthesize from the raw ingredients than gasoline or diesel fuels. It's used today in many city buses, fleet vehicles, and private cars in certain parts of the world:

Such fuels could become less attractive if we invent lighter, cheaper, and much faster-charging batteries than the current state of the art, but I'm not holding my breath.
> steady improvements in machine learning stretch back decades at this point

Except that's not how it's actually gone. It's more like, improvements happen in erratic jumps as new methods are discovered, then improvements slow or stall out when the limits of those methods are reached.

China is "communist" in name only, but they are still a one-party totalitarian state, which is a big reason liberal democracies and "communist" countries weren't friends in the first place.

In fact, if "the state/people own the means of production" had been the only aspect of communism (and not the totalitarian dictatorial governments), I doubt the Cold War would've been as serious.
I, too, would like if his product was built as well as possible, ideally all shiny and almost too perfect to belive it was made in such a way.
The US right-wing has a large contingent that wants to pivot focus away from Europe and towards Asia.

The US abandoning European allies can be perceived through the lens of general isolationism (or even an outright support for fascism) but it can also be perceived as part of this pivot to Asia.

Time will tell. Elon Musk has so much of his net worth tied up in China, however, that I would bet more on abandonment. If Elon was out of the picture I'd bet more on support.

Now that I’ve calmed down a bit, I agree with your assessment. The optics game is so important, but Taiwan is in an impossible situation.

If I were China, I would give them relative economic independence if they limit advanced process silicon to other countries and let Huawei and others monopolize the advanced nodes. The US at present does not appear to be a dependable partner.

While I agree with what you are saying, the outcome is not quite as obvious/guaranteed. The US is clawing back and democrat/republic/kamala wouldn't change that reality, but the world is also not going to sit quiet. The outcome will depend on Europe, China and the rest of the un-aligned.
Companies pick it up and start selling the open source product. Since it's open anyone can fix it, modify it, upgrade it etc. Prices go down, both for devices and parts. Even if no new parts are available you still have giant used market.
Yup I remember the V-Chip. That was similar but just different enough that it made more sense that it never took off. That would have required adding a module to all televisions that would incur cost and would have also changed which entities in the television industry had control over their content. That industry has always been plagued by layers of bureaucracy.

The internet on the other than has let website operators have more freedom to govern themselves with some exceptions. I think in this case implementing RTA headers while it would have some cost it is leveraging existing code, web and load balancing platforms and just bringing back header checks in applications which many apps already know how to do and then calling the parental checks that also already exist in many devices and in some cases the UI is just hidden.

Not necessarily -- a lot of external hobbyist work has gone into reverse-engineering Sonic Generations, which has an official PC port and is based on the same engine as Unleashed.

Funnily enough, one of the most famous Generations mods is a project that ports over a bunch of levels from Unleashed. IIRC they changes the graphics pipeline to look and work more like the Unleashed one, too.

You have to pay me to run Windows bare metal. The user experience is terrible and of the lowest quality compared to Mac OS and Linux. Even Windows OS 11 IoT LTSC requires work around to not create a Microsoft account, and this is their embedded solution.

Last week I spent a whole day trying to resurrect a Windows 10 IoT LTSC because of a corrupt WMI repository. It crashed out software and to the client it looks like our software is bad where it is the OS that is bad. Client's automation was down until a replacement was sent out and installed.

I've had to implement number of software changes because of buggy Windows drivers. From Intel NICs to touch screen HID messaging. Microsoft talks about backwards capability but it is subjective and only truly bound to the most used applications. Enabling tablet mode on Windows will break their API.

There has never been a Linux system I couldn't resurrect and keep working. With Windows, it is always re-install the OS and all applications. Even the laptop I'm writing this on is the same OS installation that has passed between 4 different computers. You cannot get that quality of OS installation from Microsoft.

Took me a month to convince IT to reinstall Windows on my work laptop. Microsoft's update broke the QA VM environment and would freeze with an infinite loop. Uninstalling the update nor repairing the OS did anything to fix their issues.

Even today I experienced Ctrl+X is broken and does not work in Visual Studio for the git comment text box entry.
Microsoft isn't getting punished for it's bad experience.

Where I work there is now a retention policy for all Microsoft products, including OneNote.

Yep, if you managed to fight through the interface you are now greeted with an application that will lose your long term notes.

I have mixed feelings on AI music.
When i make music, it's relaxing, it's fun, maybe 3 or 4 people listen to it.
Then it kinda just sits on Soundcloud. One of my partners did enjoy my music though...

AI music for the sake of just having it in the background removes that human element. It's just more stuff. To be fair, like you said, making generic music isn't anything new. But everything is turning into this.
Games are using AI generated music which isn't , by definition, able to try anything new, AI art which is just reguritated by other artists.

The enshitification of Spotify is here. Why pay artist 100$ for 500k plays when you can just push AI music and pay 1$ for every 500k plays. As is music( really any entertainment) is a horrible way to make money.

So I guess I'll just keep working on my beats, with Maschine( the only software that keeps me on Windows!), and sharing them with a few people every now and then.

> A cache MUST NOT use an incomplete response to answer requests unless the response has been made complete, or the request is partial and specifies a range wholly within the incomplete response.

This behavior as described

1. client requests 1-200; [cached]

2. client requests 1-400; [cache responds with 206 with 1-200]

The cache is able to extend it's cache (which would result in a 403 non-successful). But otherwise MUST NOT use an incomplete cache, to answer a request for a complete answer. Is there room for the cache to pretend it's a server, and behave as if it was just the server? The server is allowed to return 206 however it wants, but unless I missed something, why is the cache allowed to yolo out a 206?

edit: additionally section 3.2 seems to make this even more explicit, this behavior is invalid.

> Caches are required to update a stored response's header fields from another (typically newer) response in several situations; for example.

The ambiguity here is unfortunate because they say required here, but don't use the keyword MUST.

Didn't Trump campaign on a 60-100% tariff on importers buying from China?

Given importers have been paying tariffs averaging close to 20% since Trump raised them back during his first term, that would imply that they'll be close to 40% in a week when they get raised again.

This is, unfortunately about one thing only: The Nobel Peace Prize.

As Trump sees it, Zelenskyy is blocking Trump's peace prize by not agreeing to his (very bad) terms that are designed with one purpose in mind: Quickly freezing the conflict so that he can declare himself peacemaker and get his prize (because Obama got his 9 months into his term).

The Russians have been grooming him since the 80s (along with many others of that era - standard Soviet practice), flattering him and selling him on dreams of being president, and then after Obama got a peace prize, of getting his own Nobel prize.

Watch what his aides are saying about the Nobel prize. He wants it BAD.

This is why he told Zelenskyy: “You’re either going to make a deal or we’re out. And if we’re out, you’ll fight it out. I don’t think that it’s going to be pretty, but you’ll fight it out. But you don’t have the cards.” This is why he said “Let me tell you, Putin went through a hell of a lot with me.” This is why he booted Zenelskyy out of the White House and banned him until he's “ready for peace”

This is why he's going to end the sanctions against Russia, and if Europe continues to support Ukraine, sanction them instead. Anyone who blocks his Nobel Peace Prize is the enemy.

Trump: “They probably will never give it to me, even what I’m doing in Korea, and in Idlib province and all of these places. They probably will never give it to me. You know why? Because they don’t want to.”

Trump: “They will never give me a Nobel Peace Prize. It’s too bad. I deserve it, but they will never give it to me.”

I thought this was going to be about NaNs, signed zeros or other things that are fundamentally different between floats and integer types. I don't really understand why accepting implied or overspecified zeros is deeply problematic here. You're already allowing the user to omit the 14+ zeros of precision actually represented in the underlying value and there's no confusion about what the correct answer is in either case. The minor ambiguity with type inference (let b = 1) can be resolved in favor of integers without surprising anyone.

It depends on your expectations of concurrent use. Computer + tablet + phone means many users may use different devices within seconds of each other. If you want to support offline-first usage, concurrent updates from different clients for the same user becomes more likely.
