Who would need to be on board with changes in the Pentagon to strip away protections there? I'd assume it's quite a bit more insular than other parts of the federal government.

"More than thirty years ago I stood beside the desk of Professor Richard Rosenbloom, who taught courses in manufacturing management. In those days they called the field 'production.' I was a research assistant, and Professor Rosenbloom had just stood up to welcome one of his students into his office. The student, of medium height, was dressed in a dark suit and tie. He stood before the desk, bowed deeply, and handed to his professor a beautifully wrapped gift. He had completed his studies and was returning to his home in Japan.
"The professor murmured thanks and then, to demonstrate his appreciation, he unwrapped the gift. It was a black fountain pen with gold trim. He sat down at his desk, took out a piece of paper, filled the pen from an ink bottle, took the pen in his hand, and began to write. The student beamed. But then he looked stunned, as we all did—the pen was not writing. Professor Rosenbloom pressed harder. The student frowned more deeply. Nothing. Professor Rosenbloom tried swirling the pen. Still, no ink flowed. Finally, in exasperation, the student reached across the desk, grabbed the pen, shook it forcefully, and said with great feeling, 'Cheap Japanese pen!'"
I'm all for audits, reducing waste, transparency, etc., not wanton firing and publicity stunts.
I personally think the AGPL would win, but it's not something I'd be willing to enter a legal battle over.
| The aim of this study was to investigate if a dietary supplementation containing: melatonin, l-tryptophan, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin B12, methionine and betaine would help patients with GERD,
| All patients of the group A (100%) reported a complete regression of symptoms after 40 days of treatment. On the other hand, 115 subjects (65.7%) of the omeprazole reported regression of symptoms in the same period
For instance:
Person A: "Why did you start livestreaming as a rust developer?
Person B: "Why I started livestreaming as a Rust?"
There, person B is confirming what it is they are supposed to answer.
You might define java as having a robust type system, but I would rate Rust's as significantly better. Several things in Rust I miss when working in Java:
* Monomorphized types
* Sum type and product types. Think sealed classes in java, but with better ergonomics
* A really clever type system that prevents things like ConcurrentModificationException and data races (not dead-locks or race conditions generally though).
Though, IIUC, Rust made early decisions about module structure that have really hindered compile speed, not necessarily tied to the type system.
Another big factor that makes rust slow would be optimizations & slow system linkers; it doesn't have a JVM that can warm up to optimize stuff.
Source: work with both Rust and Java on a daily basis.
Edit: The way the type system works out in general makes me far less worried about making sweeping changes in a Rust codebase than in a Java codebase, but there are still logic bugs that I miss occasionally. Still, it moves quite a big bug finding from "run the program and see" to "make it pass typechecking", which is quite a bit faster than compiling; you can typecheck Rust without compiling it.
When I was in high school, 10-20 years ago, I had a 30 minute bus ride back, and it eventually became something I just did. I didn't learn a ton of patterns, but I did start solving the top two layers faster over time, and I was consistently under a minute for my solve time. I don't recall meeting others who could solve it.
At one point in HS, our local church had a multi-congregation multi-day event, and I participated in a the talent showing, solving the rubik's cube. There was a 2 minute limit, and friends coming up to "tackle" me and prevent me from finishing, and one of the local newscasters was a leader for the youth, and he narrated. I was surprised by how many of the girls liked the skit, and I didn't quite know what to do with myself then, ha ha.
My second experience is now, being a youth leader in the same congregation. I'm surprised by just how many of the youth know how to solve a rubik's cube. Probably upwards of half. I think I counted 14 people in our youth group, but that included me and a few parents.
Oh how the times change.
Seems like it'd be finicky though.
My particular pet peeve is that many rendering platforms suffer from floating point rounding shenanigans, such that rendering/rasterizing a 8.5x11 doc at 300 dpi results in a the height being off by a pixel :/
> During a 45-minute test drive in a Tesla Model X, I had to intervene twice to correct mistakes by the FSD software. In contrast, I rode in driverless Waymo vehicles for more than two hours and didn’t notice a single mistake.
That seems pretty significant.
I have done it myself, but I don't know enough to really dig in and take over the sound stuff like I'd want to. It runs tinyalsa iirc.
This is me, to a T. It's nice to hear I'm not the only odd sleeper.
