How difficult would it be for a website to create a minimal, unicode-to-html translator for posting?
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has jettisoned *SAFETY*. Thank you EPA, NHTSA, and any other federal agencies that have pursued this goal from 1975 to present. (Dammit Ford! No, the other one). Modern vehicles aren't merely crash-unworthy, they can suddenly combust. At least we get terrific MPG on paper! Automatics get worse fuel economy than manuals--don't believe what car manufacturers publish. They have to comply with CAFE, and have every reason to lie.
No, the decline started with Johnson (Great Society + Vietnam), and got worse under Nixon (end of Bretton Woods, etc.) and Carter (even more stupidity). Reagan tried, and was partially successful at fixing things.
And then Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama just fsck'd it all up again. Aka the Yale-Harvard-Yale-Harvard years. People who thought they were smart enough to run the US and even the world.
Let's not forget, though, that the US Congress was not sitting idly by. THAT hive of scum and villainy has actively overspending and fsck'ing Americans (and the rest of the world) this whole time.
And Trump got elected. A giant middle finger to Congress. So, for all the hate at Orange Man Bad, who else will step-up to scare off / prosecute self-serving Congress Critters?
So Google could have provided this service, this whole time?
ALPHABET's slogan: do evil, until forced to do otherwise!
Reminds me of some medieval cultures that needed about 2-3 days of work per week to sustain themselves comfortably. Seems we have regressed from that, mostly because some really big assholes cannot get enough.
Those were hunter-gatherer cultures, not medieval.
Hunter-gatherer cultures produce minimal amounts of science, math, writing, medicine, art, clothing, or anything else. They work enough to survive.
Rust Performance vs C Performance
Memory Management in Embedded Systems: A Comparative Analysis of C and Rust
You use Rust's safety features while writing / debugging, but
turn off Rust's safety features (cargo run --release), when you're done.
That way you don't get abysmal performance from performing safety checks.
Although, couldn't this be done in C as well?
I doubt Joel Spolsky is still hiring.
The financial employers are looking for people who are good at separating suckers from their money.
Who else is hiring?
1) Saturation / delayed retirement. There's only so many of X profession needed in a region. The excess stops pushing down wages and is simply not hired.
2) Too many managers, not enough workers. Somebody has to do the job.
3) Lack of economic growth. Growing companies need more hires.
Thus getting back the money Trump extorted for his librabry.
Extortion? That's where you went? I realize a shareholder revolt and forced new management is unlikely since CALPERS and NEA are major stockholders; but what about actually stripping a broadcaster of its (government owned) spectrum? This would tank Disney shares, and hurt CALPERS and the NEA by extension. Don't forget, CALPERS and NEA are major donors to the Democrats.
Alternatively, we could nuke Redmond.
You've hinted at the bigger problem. The US air control system is obsolete. Every time an upgrade has been funded, it has failed. And a sizable chunk (15%+) of the money became campaign contributions to members of Congress.
Over in "communist" Canada, their ATC is an run by an NGO, which is funded by the airlines and private pilots.
Maybe the USA should do the same.
It would still cost them a lot to move. Even if there aren't as many things to move, think of the cost for relocating the staff.
Figure $5000 to $10,000 per employee. 3,000 direct jobs. So $15M-$30M to relocate the employees.

Arcan is a powerful development framework for creating virtually anything between user interfaces for specialised embedded applications all the way to full-blown standalone desktop environments.
The (American) courts officially believe that police can routinely lie as part of their investigation and then suddenly become honest during a trial.
From the TFS:
"because the information is verified by the deputy running the license plate. It is common practice for law enforcement to refrain from disclosing investigative methods and sources to prevent criminals from learning how to circumvent them."
So no. People develop habits. And it is hard to flip-flop, especially when there is a written record (case file, notes, affidavits, etc.).
