I shouldn’t worry about it.

Dynamic typing is a great feature at times. It’s a pain in the butt other times. One of the things I like about Zig is being able to have opt-in comptime dynamic typing. For a certain class of problem it’s really nice.

I think that’s a great set of criticisms.

None of these are sins of Rust, …

They might not be strictly language issues, but if they are symptomatic of idiomatic rust then they are “sins of rust”. Something about the language promotes writing it using these kinds of idioms.

Just like French speakers don’t pronounce 80% of the written syllables because it’s impractical to speak fast with all of them…language features (or lack of them) drive how the language is used.

(BTW the implicit return behaviour on a missing semicolon sounds like Chekhov’s footgun)

What language are they then? They’re not Python, JS, <insert any other language here>

A bit of both. It’s common for people will help people who are obviously struggling (luggage, prams or just mobility issues) but it also has the advantage that you get them out of the way.

Is the second one confirmed? Last I saw there was inconclusive satellite photos that suggested it might be sitting a bit low in the water.

The compression one is a great learning project IMHO. I did it long ago as a teenager. Should get them playing with File IO, iterating over buffers to create new buffers, managing some slightly more advanced data structures like stacks.

And testing it is fairly straight forward. Whatever you compress should come back when you decompress.

That’s more the standard library rather than the language I’d say, and the next set of changes looks more “additional” rather than “reworking” (unlike the last set).

…but yes, it is still fluid.

Actions are better than words.

Was that while the other side was in power? Might have had a muted reception when it was delivered.

I think that’s a good observation.

Part of the problem is that all the while the stock prices stay up, those companies in the second bubble have the spending power of governments, and that in-turn inflates the first bubble.

Aye, and with all the money consolidated in a few big tech companies they’ve basically been able to form their own “oligarchy funded project” and act independently of any government.

An economy all their own.

Nothing wrong with Dale Vince’s comments IMHO. Netenyahu is trying to escape responsibility for his actions by hiding behind the Jewish faith. Vince is just calling that out.

Labour needs to sort itself out with respect to Israel and recognise that a nation state is not a religion.

“We’re losing the race!”

…but I won’t be surprised if they are more black redaction that useful info.

No, but the companies using it should.

“Flower shop owners implicated in mass shooting investigation”

Shame they didn’t have a second one for the sub next door.

It’s worth noting that MMT is highly contested. I don’t know enough to know who’s right, but I’m aware of the argument.

Realistically there isn’t a safety net to catch you, or at least …all the tension has gone out of the net and you hit the ground first.

Housing is so expensive that anybody renting a reasonable place, or having a mortgage from the last 10 years, will lose their home very quickly if they are unemployed for any length of time. It’s not even close.
