I think you are trying very hard to disagree on basic stuff that works very similarly across different language ecosystems, and (looking at other responses) that you're very angry. Disengaging.

The Rust compiler/language has no notion of semver. Saying "Rust is unstable b/c semver blah blah" is a tad imprecise. Semver only matters in the context of judging API changes of a certain library (crate). > The onl

I think we're mixing 2 things here: language backward-compatibility, vs. standard practices about what semver means for Rust libraries. The former is way stronger than the latter.

I think the precise pre-condition is that the theory should be recursive, which means either a finite list of axioms _or_ a computable check to determine whether a given formula is an axiom.

As other top-level comment indicates, this is debatable: https://github.com/xorvoid/meson-brainfuck/issues/1

I replied in a sibling, but anyways: I mean, I can also see that _on paper_, but by the same reasoning, MS would have never thrown away their engine.
16.
by jrvidal 6y ago
As I said, I'd like that to happen, but I don't see MS being bothered by diverging priorities enough to fork after _throwing away_ a whole engine to avoid duplicating work. At least not in the medium term.

Can you elaborate on what makes you think that? (I'd love it to happen, btw)

Pardon my ignorance, but is prop drilling a problem once you've bought into Redux or similar?

> The goal of every top-tier collider is new physics I would argue that the goal of a top-tier collider is to go to new energy ranges, plain and simple. Absence of new phenomena is gained knowledge, albeit a bit boring, but still.

Shameless plug: https://jrvidal.github.io/aes-demo/ I like this one better though.

I'm not sure that's correct. `UnsafeCell` is a Rust lang item that might disable some optimizations, I think? https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/core/cell.rs.html#1483

> The nice thing is that RefCell is not magic I'd like to point out that `RefCell` does contain a bit of magic, since it is based on `UnsafeCell`, which is _the_ core "primitive" of Rust that enables interior mutability:

* How much is "way cheaper"? I've heard that VTC licenses are getting more and more expensive, around ~50K € (if I remember correctly). * What do you mean by "concentrated in very few hands (mainly Uber and Cabify)"

I think your fears are a bit misguided. WebAssembly runs within the same sandbox as JavaScript code. I don't see how this would constitute a _higher_ security risk than browsers as they stand today.

I like to repeat myself on this, but proposing "invisible" matter has historically been a very successful strategy in fundamental physics. Simple laws have a tendency to stay simple.

What's different about it compared to other scientific theories?

I see now, makes sense.

Sorry, but I don't understand your argument. When asked 'how do you explain lensing without dark matter?', your answer is 'with this particular flavor of dark matter'?
