The money contributed to the Rust Foundation by large corporate members supports initiatives[0] that benefit all users of Rust, and I am happy for it. The slow and deliberative approach the Foundation took to crafting the AI policy, and even the hedging language in the policy itself, are indicators of a healthy open organization. The author's scorn shows immaturity.

You're incorrect. The letter ו (vav) is pronounced /v/ in modern Hebrew but /w/ in Biblical Hebrew and other ancient Semitic languages, which is why the letter is referred to as Waw and transliterated as 'W'.

Is the magic a property of the broader language-family (and could be experienced with Janet, Racket, whatever), or Common Lisp specifically? When people praise the core execution environment they're typically praising Common Lisp specifically.

What's the quintessential "now I get it" experience, in your mind?

What exactly would you have done differently?

Cargo made its debut in 2014, a year before the infamous left-pad incident, and three years before the first large-scale malicious typosquatting attacks hit PyPI and NPM. The risks were not as well-understood then as they are today. And even today it is very far from being a solved problem.

Please share this with someone who doesn't know the story yet. Ingenuity alone can't save our species. We also need the will to do good. We are living through a moment of deep cynicism about our ability to solve existential problems. Let this be a reminder of what we are capable of.

Having worked with both kinds, I have generally preferred three-dimensional human beings to cut-outs from a compliance training manual. Being fundamentally kind and collaborative is prerequisite, of course. But so is having a modicum of spite, misanthropy, pettiness, irony, and dark humor. An appreciation for the tragic sense of life. How do you get through the day if all you get from your coworkers are patriotic slogans?

Flame graphs have an official web site, maintained by Brendan Gregg, who invented them: https://www.brendangregg.com/flamegraphs.html. It's a useful starting point.

Of course. That is why Trump received the highest voter support in counties with the lowest levels of immigration.

I am interested in this topic, but this textbook is too daunting for me. What I'd love is a crash course on Bayesian methods for the working systems performance engineer. If you, dear reader, happen to be familiar with both domains: what would you include in such a course, and can you recommend any existing resources for self-study?
