  • Let’s say a goal is a description of properties of a world state you would like to achieve. A goal can then encompass many possible world states, where unconstrained variables can be anything.

    So if you want A, that does not necessarily have bearing on B. So people might say that the ends (reaching A) don’t justify the means (causing B). However, I’d say they underspecified their goal. Usually, people’s goals are goal + all of ethics.









  • I bet they have a copy of every native library they use except like libc, and probably don’t do any dead code elimination on those. And maybe they also have copies of the app for different ARM versions. And then an additional 20MB of JavaScript because everyone does these days.

    It feels uncomfortable constantly hearing people justify your value based on your relation to men. I know it doesn’t specify men, but let’s be honest, that’s what everyone thinks of. If you have good intentions, that’s good, but that doesn’t stop the implication that women are only valuable as they relate to men. Intentions do not factor into someone’s frustration hearing it for the millionth damn time! Until that phrase gets reclaimed, it’s gonna have that patriarchal association to most people.








  • const is more like C++ constexpr, but static is similar to static from C: it’s a variable that lives outside any scope. Of course, that means the same static can be accessed by multiple threads, so writing to a static is unsafe (except for types like Mutex, you can safely use those to write, but your static won’t be declared mut)
