Another Google product whose launch will be used to justify somebody's promotion, only to be left for dead only a few months later after said promoted person moves on to something else.

Why would I even bother getting mildly invested in this when the product launch/promotion incentive structure at Google is so well known?


Personally, I prefer prepending `uv` to my commands because they're more stateless that way. I don't need to remember which terminal my environment is sourced in, and when copying and pasting commands to people I don't need to worry about what state their terminal is it. It just works.


I haven’t used it for sim racing but I’ve used it for flight sim and never noticed the latency being problematic.


What frameworks would you recommend for new people learning about embedded systems?


Why care about framework, just use whatever vendor HAL for your MCU and be good with it


It's deliberately incomplete. You can be completely factual and, simultaneously, intentionally deceiving.


It's pretty hard to kill 40 people in 5 seconds with a knife.


> If you penalize the rich, they just move, and then the new system will stop class mobility.

This is a myth created by the rich so that you won't tax them.


It's pretty observable and part of the reason many microstates are extremely wealthy.

Also keep in mind the US is a winner here. The UK loses the most millionaires and it's had an observable impact on their economy.


Nah… UK’s economy is broken due to the fact we’ve never recovered from the financial crisis

It’s also due to the lack of investment in heathcare, education and other public services over the last 14yrs

Britain still has very many extremely rich people - London has more billionaires than NY - Serious Money by Caroline Knowles is an interesting exploration of the subject


Just one more follow up, the US is 27th on social mobility, behind most EU countries, Australia, New Zealand and most other countries which are consider "western"

No, Bob is right and you are wrong.


> But if they do choose to leave, or at least stop expanding their businesses, you can’t deny the rational self interest

"If you tax the rich, they will leave" is a myth created by the rich so that you won't tax them.

In the middle of the 1900s, the tax rate on the wealthiest Americans was 91%.

Nobody is going to leave over Mamdani's extremely modest proposal.


> In the middle of the 1900s, the tax rate on the wealthiest Americans was 91%

You forgot to mention that only half of capital gains were subject to tax. So the highest marginal rate was 45.5%.


The maximum effective rate on long-term capital gains was 45.5% but the top marginal rate on ordinary income was 91%.

In any case, this is all a major deflection resulting from the lie that the low job creation rate is due to "the threat" of a possible future mayor rather than tariffs.


This statement is also supported by the fact that despite the relatively high taxes in NYC billionaires will jump through all loops necessary to effectively still live there just not on paper


> in particular I'm not sure why the fluff bits about Musk "being a regular guy" are relevant

They're relevant because this was almost certainly written by a PR firm being paid by Musk to resuscitate his 32% approval rating.


Everything you said is 100% correct.

However, part of designing and upholding a safety-critical software development process is looking for places to reduce or eliminate the introduction of bugs in the first place.

Strong type systems, for example, eliminate entire classes of errors, so mandating that code is written in X language is a pro-active process decision to reduce the introduction of certain types of bugs.

Restricting the use of AI tools could very much be viewed the same way.


So you would suggest ">1% in dynamically typed language" disclaimers as well?


If someone made that happen I'd be ecstatic


Github shows the breakdown of languages in a project... you can, for the most part already do this... at least for floss on github.
