That's an entirely self inflicted problem. Just run the busses every 5 or 10 minutes, and have twice as many busses.

Vlc is quite good

The big difference is that if a competent plumber looks at a sink, it will take them 30 seconds to figure out. If a competent programmer looks at a new codebase with 30000 lines of code, it will take them 6 months to understand it, and then still be missing 80% of the details.

California can't control federal land (that's why it's called federal).

The other difference is that for most modern ice, you get plenty of torque, but only a quarter second after you asked for it due to turbo lag. With an EV, the torque is instant.

one interesting thing is that you will fairly frequently see professional orchestras be out of phase with the conductor, but everything still works out.

Is it? The fundamental reason the war on drugs failed is that drugs have relatively inelastic demand. Someone addicted to meth will find a way to get meth if it costs $10 or $500. Software exploits aren't like that at all. They are a tool used by gangs and governments that are only useful if they cost less than they're worth.

Inflation is mainly bad for the rich. About half of Americans have essentially no savings. For them, increased wages and inflation is a massive win.

I think Rust and Julia are 2 of the stronger contenders.

Imo, the solution is to stop using C/C++ for high performance applications. Today's computers are diverse enough that distributing compiled binaries leaves a ton of performance on the table.

Doesn't that mean that iteration requires a write lock? That sounds bad for lots of applications.

That is just false. The current number of possible vaccine related deaths in the US is 1.

The short answer is that changing the type system to allow multiple inheritance (traits) involves solving some really hard and open-ended problems (eg method specificity). Solving this is probably breaking, and requires a ton of work on a problem that might not even be solvable. If I had to guess it will be solved by the language that replaces Julia in 20 years.

Short list of current priorities (in no particular order) Making it easier to interface with the compiler (this is step 1 on better ability to static compile/debug) Better garbage collection More performance Reducing the memory footprint of small strings Lowering the overhead of multithreading It's worth noting that Julia doesn't really have a core team. A lot of the development is done by a pretty large community of developers without any central management.

This is doable in Julia too. DifferentialEquations.jl has python and R bindings. I expect more to follow as Julia starts getting more best in class packages.
