Good thing we're not sheep or wolves. That's why I alluded to Orwell. The pigs from Animal Farm are a better metaphor. The senate doesn't exist to protect the will of sheep at the …

No, they're right. We have 53/435 (12.18%) of the House, which is roughly equal to our proportion of the total population (40mm/330mm, 12.12%, numbers will change with the census).…

I don't agree with that categorization of water issues in CA, but that's off topic. And having proportional seating in the House isn't particularly meaningful, when it takes both t…

Governor Newsom refers to California as a "nation state" about once a week, in case the author was wondering. He's used that language quite often. I'm totally ok with it, so long a…

How do you create such a market without crazy volatility, rampant manipulation and low liquidity, like penny stocks?

If this were true we wouldn't have done so much research into programming languages over the last 50 years. PL design is not a problem to solve, it's the study of the way to expres…

No, it's just that a prolific rust contributor made a blog post and then a follow up and things have been heated in the community a bit (I lurk a bit). The fuss isn't over what the…

I don't really want to go through the laundry list of issues I have because none are critical, just the software is very rough around the edges on Linux. It just feels less than fl…

How many of Zoom's recent issues can be explained by just bad engineering? Because my personal gripes with Zoom are mostly about its quality as a software product, which I find to …

And comments like this usually come from people with a warped concept of money and funding. But it doesn't help to comment on the nature of a poster because you don't know much abo…

Why does AirBnb need a billion dollars? I can't find anything suggesting they're spending more than $100mm on their ongoing litigation, the technology isn't particularly novel or c…

That's kind of my question. I want async I/O with a device, can io_uring help?

I almost certainly have no idea what I'm talking about but Can I write a device driver using io_uring? As in talk to i2c endpoints instead of normal files?

I believe the current proposal (partially supported on nightly) is to require expressions in generic arguments to be enclosed in {}

I think the tone of this post is insufferable, and the arguments have little merit presented this way. The alternative suggested is also non ideal, since array declaration/indexing…

Rust uses the "turbo fish" to get around this. Your example wouldn't compile unless a and b where valid variable names. a:: (c) Is how you instantiate a generic. It's not that ugly…

what about Spirited Away? 4K makes cheaply animated content look cheap. Sometimes that's ok, other times viewers want more. Another example outside anime is Fantasia 2000 on Disney…

The numerous people I've worked with that have been here for decades and aren't citizens and don't consider themselves to be American?

Is Eric Yuan a US citizen? He wasn't born or educated here so I don't know he considers himself American, and a significant amount of his company's product development is not done …

I think your starting point is already flawed. Scale is needed for high value liquidity events which is needed for ROI to investors and employees compensated with equity. If you re…

I'd offer a different take. Users want to run your software on their system. You don't want to write software for their system, you want to write it for all systems. The output imp…

Most unions don't have "union" in their name, I don't think it's an issue of nomenclature. People know which organizations can be colloquially referred to as a labor union. That sa…

Associated types are slightly different than generic types. trait State { type NextState; fn transition(self) -> Self::NextState; } In this example one consumes the current state t…

Nothing I suggested implies a runtime penalty. Quite the opposite actually.

I disagree with the implementation, State should be a trait with NextState as an associated type. This makes things cumbersome when it can be a set of types, but it makes excellent…
