Well, in practice you can't make your own non-enum types in stable Rust with this property, to unblock this Rust needs pattern types, (I wanted a path to do this a different way, but I was persuaded it's not a good idea). As that link explains the stdlib is doing this via a perma-unstable compiler use only attribute.

But yes, there are the NonZero integers, and you can make your own NonBlah integer using the "XOR trick" for a relatively tiny performance overhead, as well as you can make enums which is how the current CompactString works.

The link you gave mentions that Rust does this for other types, but in particular OwnedFd is often useful on Unix systems. Option<OwnedFd> has the same implementation as a C file descriptor, but the same ergonomics as a fancy high level data structure, that's the sort of optimisation we're here for.

Alas the Windows equivalent can't do this because different parts of Microsoft use all zeroes and -1 to mean different things, so both are potentially valid.

>And are there any good examples where teams actually migrated away from 4.x or 8.x successfully

Sure, at my former workplace they migrated one of the products (a document processing platform) from .NET 4.5 to .NET 8.

It's quite a lot of work to do something like that and most companies who have old products on .NET 4 don't care to update them because they still work. Many are still adding new features to old .NET 4 codebases.

Many will only upgrade if Microsoft deprecates .NET 4 and stops providing updates.

You're not wrong about build systems being workflow engines, but in my experience the risk of over-generalizing is a worse user experience. One of the most valuable lessons I've learned in my career is that a clean UX often requires messy abstractions underneath.
My favorite math professor said "your homework is as many of the odd-numbered problems as you feel like you need to do to understand the material" and set a five minute quiz at the start of each lecture which counted as the homework grade. I can't speak for the other students, but I did more homework in his classes than any of the other math classes I took.

bflesch might be suggesting that you (or some other motivated + heroic person) write a new spec for calendar collaboration, like what jmap.io is trying to do for mail.

I know that calendars and datetime management suck, hard. I hazard a guess that several people have already started trying to replace caldav (because of the suckage of caldav) and have quietly given up (because of the suckage of datetimes and timezones).

Blogging platforms also allow people to connect and share, but are prob less profitable. A lot of the role of blogs was taken over by social media, this created larger networks but with a lot of downsides. But these downsides are not inherent to all the online platforms where people can connect and share.

You got it exactly backwards.

R&D is not tax deductible, so the cheat would be to say the custom operator (=R&D) is maintenance and therefore OpEX and a fully deductible expense.

The entire problem is that software companies hire workers and need to deduct salaries in the month they are paid. The 5 year R&D rules basically say that your salary in one month must be tax deducted over five years. If your business is breaking even and making no net profit, you would now have to pay taxes, which turn your "break even" business into a loss making business.

There is no situation where the old rules let you get away with paying less taxes than you should. The rules simply affect the timing of the tax deductions.

The new tax rules basically assume every business has infinite access to 0% interest loans to bridge over temporary tax induced insolvency.

Cheese, not the kind that comes in plastic bags, is incredibly cool and delicious. It is nothing like what most people think of as cheese.

Cloudflare seems to be the only company in the world where sales does not want to speak to you. So if Arroyo becomes part of the Cloudflare Enterprise offering, dont get your hopes up to be able to use it. Except maybe if you are already a Cloudflare Enterprise customer.

I am incapable of sleeping more than about 5.5 hours (unless I'm severely sleep deprived). So to me it seems likely that FNSS (familial natural short sleep) is a thing, but more research is needed I guess.
There's a couple of things at play here (renewable energy is my industry).

1. Renewable energy, especially solar, is cheaper *sometimes*. How much sunlight is there in that area? The difference between New Mexico and Illinois for example is almost a factor of 2. That is a massive factor. Other key factors include cost of labor, and (often underestimated) beautacratic red tape. For example, in India it takes about 6 weeks to go from "I'll spend $70 million on a solar farm" to having a fully functional 10 MW solar farm. In the US, you'll need something like 30% more money, and it'll take 9-18 months. In some parts of Europe, it might take 4-5 years and cost double to triple.

All of those things matter a lot.

2. For the most part, capex is the dominant factor in the cost of energy. In the case of fossil fuels, we've already spent the capex, so while it's more expensive over a period of 20 years to keep using coal, if you are just trying to make the budget crunch for 2025 and 2026 it might make sense to stay on fossil fuels even if renewable energy is technically "cheaper".

3. Energy is just a hard problem to solve. Grid integrations, regulatory permission, regulatory capture, monopolies, base load versus peak power, duck curves, etc etc. If you have something that's working (fossil fuels), it might be difficult to justify switching to something that you don't know how it will work.

Solar is becoming dominant very quickly. Give it a little bit of time, and you'll see more and more people switching to solar over fossil fuels.

Very cool! This makes Google the only major cloud that has low-latency single-zone object storage, standard regional object storage, and transparently-replicated dual-region object storage - all with the same API.

For infra systems, this is great: code against the GCS API, and let the user choose the cost/latency/durability tradeoffs that make sense for their use case.

You need to pay money to people who will put in effort and agency. You can't just throw money at random people and expect something useful to happen. Sometimes, the people who will make things happen if you throw money to them don't exist. Sometimes, you have to turn people into those people (which also costs money).

Money is something you give people so they can eat and stay warm while they do the thing you want. They still have to be doing the thing you want. Sometimes there's enough reputation and legal threats on the line that you can assume the person will do the thing just based on the fact they're taking money from you and not freaking out. Companies do things this way a lot - individuals not as much.

The abstraction is not the territory, and the idea that money denominates value is an abstraction... often we define "value" as "that for which money is exchanged", making the abstraction tautological, at no gain. This is often done by people who want to think the thing they're spending a lot of money on is very valuable, or want to make you think the thing you're spending a lot of money on is very valuable.

Now see I'm curious, would it be better if we had no context on what the comic _is supposed_ to be? Or is this only hilarious in comparison to the typical "i hate mondays, how many pieces of flair", type schtick the original goes for.

I too have been on a very aggressive mission to decloudify myself lately(as in, since comrade musk and co took over everything and I have 0 reason to trust him or anyone around him). And to be fair, for all the hundreds of gigabytes of data I have, the migration took no longer than two weeks, on and off, and it works infinitely better than I was hoping. The only service I've outsourced is email since I hate dealing with MX records, IMAP/SMTP. For everything else, the one thing that did wonders was an Asus PN40 with a dual core celeron CPU. It's biggest strength is that it's both accessible and has a slot for an M.2 NVME and a SATA drive so you can have a safe backup in one spot. I too share the opinion that CalDAV is kind of sketchy. That said, Nextcloud covered most of my needs(although it can be slow for some things, even with redis backing it up). Calendars, dropbox/google drive, docs, photos, backups and automatic syncing - it covers everything really well. That, combined with several other open source solutions truly cover all my needs(music and video streaming, monitoring, alerting, vpn, readers, management, and various other utilities). And as under-powered this mini PC is, it handles everything insanely well with lots of room to spare, given that my ISP is a solid 10/10. In fact it would be perfectly capable of handling another 5-6 people like me with ease.

Wow, cool stuff. I never used AgentTCL or D'Agents for anything, but I became aware of both sometime last year and spent a little time reading up on the whole thing. I believe there was a chapter specifically on AgentTCL in one of the books I read.

In some ways, it's a shame it didn't catch on, but the security / access control issues you mention certainly make a lot of sense. That seems to be the big issue that derailed most, if not all, of the various "mobile code" initiatives over the years.

With young Europeans, it seems to be a point of fascination with them that such stuff is happening in our country. And they will implicitly assume you're progressive because you're traveling in that part of the world.

>As someone already said, parents used to be concerned that kids wouldn't be able to solve maths problems without a calculator

Were they wrong? People who rely too much on a calculator don't develop strong math muscles that can be used in more advanced math. Identifying patterns in numbers and seeing when certain tricks can be used to solve a problem (verses when they just make a problem worse) is a skill that ends up being beyond their ability to develop.

In the strictly technical sense I agree, however in the Rust community when people say "the niche optimization" they usually are referring only to the simplest case. For example in the book Rust For Rustaceans (written by a pretty serious Rust expert and aimed at intermediate-level Rust programmers) the nice optimization is described as "the Rust compiler using invalid bit patterns to represent enum variants that hold no data". Note the "hold no data" part - it doesn't incorporate the case in the blog.

In any case, the definition of what is exactly niche optimization is besides the point. The point of the post is: the literature gives you the impression that there's one limited form of enum size optimization in the Rust compiler, but in fact there are other optimizations too. And knowing this is useful!
