> Why is cooperation unlikely? AFAIK it’s not too hard to make a compiler support a function attribute that says “do not optimize this function at all”

Compilers like Clang actually generate terrible code; it's expected that a sufficiently smart optimizer (of which LLVM is a member) will clean it up anyway, so Clang makes no attempt to generate good code. Rust is similar. For example, a simple for-loop's induction variable is stored/loaded to an alloca (ie stack) on every use, it isn't an SSA variable. So one of the first things in the optimization pipeline is to promote those to SSA registers/variables. Disabling that would cost a ton of perf just right there, nevermind the impact on instruction combining/value tracking/scalar evolution, and crypto is pretty perf sensitive after security.

BTW, Clang/LLVM already has such a function-level attribute, `optnone`, which was actually added to support LTO. But it's all or nothing; LLVM IR/Clang doesn't have the info needed to know what instructions are timing sensitive.
While there’s in principle nothing wrong with thoughtful deregulation, it’s very hard to support a government that has so many conflicts of interest and shows so little basic economic understanding.

Initiatives like these feel like a smokescreen to get people riled up while they rob you blind. Your 401k, your job, your alliances, your allowances and your international reputation are all second to their real mission, to profit from the chaos they sow.
The comment (despite protests to the contrary) injected politics unnecessarily and a bit randomly (there’s no particular reason to believe Intel and the US government are very similar).
If I go look up an arbitrary 850 watt supply (seasonic focus gold), it looks like it wastes about 10% plus 5 watts anywhere from 0-60% load. So extra capacity doesn't hurt that one.
not able to be copyrighted does imply public domain. the thing is though, nothing is ever 100% vibe coded as far as I can tell, so the connecting stuff and corrections that get manually done end up being protectable elements. I suspect over time we'll get a bunch of contradictory case law and it'll be decades before we really have an answer.
> That is demonstrably false, unless your definition of "decent PC" is something that costs $4000.

How is it demonstrably false? I'm on 5900x and Rust compilation speed was never an issue for me.

More like $1500. $500 for 9950x. $200 for Mobo, $200 for memory and $100 for 1Tb ssd and power supply for $100. Coolers and case by desire. GPU optional.

Only way to get to $4000 in a PC is you are buying fancy components or you bought latest xx90 card.
It's definitely shady, but it's par for the course. Uber charges you more if you have more gift cards loaded, or just spend more on average in general. You charge what the market will bear.

I understand that you might find the mathematical notation clearer but I think it's presumptuous of you to speak on behalf of all humans, or even all human mathematicians. I'm a mathematics graduate and I find the conditional operator more readable in a program because it corresponds to what the program actually does (it checks the condition first); but I also recognize that the two notations have exactly the same information content and only differ superficially in syntax, making it entirely a matter of familiarity.
> But market share is already getting into "only weirdos use this" territory.

I think this is a self-reinforcing feedback loop because of bad analytics.

Maybe initially some big, popular, otherwise important sites only supported some Chrome.

Then the 'weirdos' discovered that it worked perfectly with only one mouseclick changing the user-agent.

Time passed, more and more 'weirdos' spoofed their UA by default, because clicking is boring.

Analytics saw less and less FF, more Chrome(simplified).

Management saw less and less need to support anything else.

Pseudo-Cyber-Security rose up high in the sky, shining so bright, that it seemed just right.

Rust is not a modern C++, their core models are pretty different. Both Rust and C++ can do things the other can’t do. C++ is a more focused on low-level hyper-optimized systems programming, Rust is a bit higher level and has stronger guardrails but with performance closer to a classic systems language.

I do think Zig is a worthy successor to C and isn’t trying to be C++. I programmed in C for a long time and Zig has a long list of sensible features I wish C had back then. If C had been like Zig I might never have left C.

I am truely sorry you have been, or are, suffering.

I would email you but since you have no contact information on your profile I will just say I strongly urge you to seek medical advice, and maybe seek out a pastor at a mainstream church to discuss your situation.

I knew someone who nearly died and who held very similar non-mainstream medical and non-mainstream religious beliefs.

When they were in so much pain they couldn’t even stand up they finally agreed to be taken to a hospital where they lay on the floor of the emergency department. It turns out they had a near fatal infection in the spine, which was easily cured by antibiotics (after months of agony) and the suffering reduced by painkillers.

It’s a matter of personal belief but I don’t think there is any higher purpose to real suffering (suffering caused by illness or by other people).

I also don’t believe that you stand to lose or compromise your faith in any way by accepting medical treatment.

Hm, that's fair. I suppose I should be more transparent as to my bias. I learned to program as the Internet was coming online and before Google, Stack Overflow, and now, ChatGPT. Not trying to brag, merely trying to show that I know how to code.

I can't say how I'd actually feel if I was just starting out, but your position isn't unreasonable. I will disagree and say there is a certain skill to prompting, even though calling prompt engineering is maybe ridiculous. Given the way the industry is trending, getting code generators into a corner; having it run around in circles, and then having in skill to fix it by hand, quickly, is the skill to hone. Whether that comes from practicing writing code from scratch, or from using code generation and then fixing the bugs it creates though, is up for debate. I obviously think the latter but that's just a random person who's not in your shoes' opinion.

Best of luck to you in your career! Hopefully it goes well, no matter which direction it takes.

> What? Golang append()s also periodically grow the slice.

If you already know the size of the result (there are no filtering operations), the functional approach can trivially allocate the resulting array to already have the correct capacity. This happens with zero user intervention.

IIRC the Rust optimizer basically emits more or less optimal machine code (including SIMD) for most forms of iteration.
I don't remember the source, but I believe I listened to a podcast on an "uber for nurses" (not sure if it was this place), but they do all sorts of nasty things that really shaft the nurses. ISTR that the nurses when they get called in, have to be running a phone app that tracks them, and if they get stuck in traffic or lose cell signal, they get demerits. They pretty much do anything they can to give the nurses a demerit, and demerits cause your pay to go down.

So they're pretty much taking the existing terrible nursing environment in healthcare, and weaponizing it. Nurses already have too many patients and not enough CNAs, on top of 12 hour shifts, needing to do charting after those 12 hours. Healthcare squeezes nurses to the breaking point. Data point: my wife is a nurse.

Sure, game consoles are user-hostile. They're also great for playing games, and they tend to "just work" with less configuration and customization than a typical gaming PC.

Less configuration tends to mean fewer problems and easier tech support, but the primary business reason game consoles are locked town is to make it harder to play unlicensed commercial games on them.

HN has this very unique and strange type of reasoning. You’re actually asking why would mathematics be any different than woodworking because CNC machines? It’s like aby issue can be reduced to the most mundane observations and simplicity because we have to justify all technology.

HIPAA avoidance is much narrower than that. Entities which perform administrative or managerial duties on behalf of a mandated organization that have to transmit PII to provide that service are also covered, even if the entity itself isn't a provider.

If 'Uber for nurses' is acting on behalf of nurses, it probably doesn't apply? If it's acting on behalf of the hospitals (who are indisputably covered entities), then the situation is much less clear.

I encountered a similar situation with my startup many years ago and decided "better safe than sorry" after consulting the lawyer.

Personally, I feel the VS Code team did the right thing in pulling the extension when they realized it was potentially malicious although I do feel they would have been better served in saying that it was potentially malicious and to simply suspend it until they had confirmation of malicious intent.

I really wish that were true but it isn’t. Modern C++ templates/constexpr are much more powerful and expressive than any Zig comptime equivalent.

The power and expressiveness of the C++ compile-time capabilities are the one thing I strongly miss when using other languages. The amount of safety and conciseness those features enable makes not having them feel like a giant step backward. Honestly, if another systems language had something of similar capability I’d consider switching.
Starting doesn't need to be more difficult than:

.PHONY: all

all:
cc -o progname -std=c99 -pedantic -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic -O0 *.c

Or something along those lines. Move some stuff to variables (CC, CFLAGS, etc.) for release. Can use object files for larger programs (but often isn't needed, certainly not when starting out).

I do agree that the general experience of Rust is a lot better. But I also think a lot of C projects have overcomplicated build systems that aren't really needed.

I used to work in the field. HIPAA protects patient data, not provider data. If my understanding is correct that only nurse PII was leaked, this has nothing to do with HIPAA.

In general, I've found that people tend to think HIPAA applies much, much more than it actually does. Like people thinking if you're in a meeting at work with clients and say "Sorry, Bob couldn't be here today, he's got the flu" that that's a HIPAA violation. No, it's not.

This is just an employee data leak, just like a bajillion other employee data leaks. The fact that the employees happen to be nurses still doesn't mean it has anything to do with HIPAA.
