Works fine for me on a 17e.

> Rust may have a tremendous success in the future, because it's much easier to write it with AI (ignoring for a moment whether that's really a good thing).

It’s interesting that Rust could become the most deployed but the least written (by humans) programming language if the dreams of AI bros come true.

If AI gets good enough to competently translate other languages to Rust then there is no point writing in Rust (a language with a steep learning curve and is high friction in use), you can just write in a low friction language like C, C++, Odin, Zig, … etc. and have AI translate it to Rust catching all the memory bugs in the process.

> C being an old soul mate.

Maybe try Odin. Based on what I have read, it’s basically C capability-wise with better ergonomics - a simple language; no objects and limited compile time shenanigans.

Don't think it has worked though. People in generally don't seem to give a shit. Everyone is worried about day to day stuff - the price and availability of housing (getting kind of stupid now), inflation, job security, trouble with neighbors, ... etc.

Personally, the only good thing about Singapore is its relatively good governance - which covers a lot but it's not perfect; e.g. housing.

For me, remove that and its just an island in the Pacific.

If I'm supposed to be feeling some sort of patriotic zeal, it hasn't happened yet. But maybe that's because I'm a bitter old man living in a rented one room flat who is now really feeling the apparent temperature of 32C at 09:45pm.

He bought into those companies willingly and on his terms though. Twitter he was force to buy. Now he is flailing around for some kind of exit strategy from his 1 billion a year interest payments.

Also today's Musk isn't the same as yesteryear's Musk. Back then people still gave him the benefit of the doubt and allowing him to hype things to the moon. Today he is disliked by a hell of a lot of people making everything he touches toxic to those people.

I don’t know. A multipolar world might lead to more wars.

A unipolar world isn’t fair but when no one is near-peer with the toughest guy on the block, a fight is unlikely to break out - that toughest guy often plays police too so war among the rest is reduced as well.

It’s still keyword-based. They just weight the appearance of the keyword in the documents now.

What does “Hated the name Harry and got it removed” meant then? Sounds like the poster got the name removed.

Also it was his grandfather that gave him the name “Harry”, not his parents.

> SE Asian ethnic Chinese names: Harry Lee Kuan Yew, (English name) (Surname) (Given name). Hated the name Harry and got it removed, though many Chinese are referred to by an English name.

Really? Your parents named you the exact same name as a famous politician?

Edit: Really? Downvote me for the OP’s bad English?

Companies like Apple kind of do it for you as you upgrade from iPhone to iPhone and data from your old phone is transferred to the new one.

I think people’s GoogleFu has also gotten worse. A lot of examples on this page of bad google results have natural language queries.

Google is a traditional search engine. Traditional search engines run on keywords. You enter the keywords you want on the webpage and press “search”. Didn’t find what you were looking for? Add more keywords to make it more specific. Things you don’t want polluting the search results? Exclude a keyword by adding a “-“ in front of it to remove those specific results. Rinse and repeat until you find what you need or give up.

> Videos are too light on solid information and are too hard to use as references.

Depends on the video.

I rarely use videos for how-to though. The written word is more convenient as it allows me to skim it and it’s easier to skip ahead. Video is good for demonstrating things where motion information is useful though.

> Microsoft was one of the most ruthless orgs in tech history.

MS is like a boxer who doesn’t just want to beat you in the ring. He wants to outright kill you too so you will never fight again.

YouTube search doesn’t even respect the “exclude word(s)” operator “-“ anymore. Freaking useless.

Imagine trying to find videos on the Cyberpunk genre and getting nothing but videos on that buggy video game that came out a few years ago.

Yupe, keywords is still how I search most of the time unless I’m literally looking for a question (or something close to it) hoping to hit a Stack Overflow and clones / Reddit post asking that question.

You can tell who all the old people are that were using search engines since back in the day. LOL

All I ever expect from a search engine is it find pages with the words in my query (and maybe exclude certain words as specified), anything else is just gravy.
